    More than £5,000 has been raised for the victims of a mudslide in Freetown, Sierra Leone by people from its twin city.

    Hull was twinned with the West African city in 1980 due to its links with William Wilberforce and the slavery abolition movement.

    More than 400 people have died and many more are missing after heavy rain caused a hillside to collapse.

    A £1.5m flood defence scheme in Cleethorpes has been completed on time and within budget.

    The project to replace the timber breakwater which is 100-years-old began in April.

    More than 12,000 tonnes of rocks from Norway have been used to protect the north promenade from flooding.

    The Y-shaped rock groynes will reduce the impact of the waves on the sea walls.
