We are also announcing actions at some of our UK sites to align our workforce capacity more closely with near-term demand and enhance our competitive position to secure new business. Those actions are necessary and the right thing to do for our company, but unfortunately include proposed redundancies at a number of operations. I recognise this will be difficult news for some of our employees and we are committed to do everything we can to support those affected."

A Renault Clio was later seen travelling at speed and three of its occupants were arrested after the car crashed.

Region's chippies urged to buy sustainably-sourced fishpublished at 14:58 British Summer Time 9 October 2017
Fish and chip shops in East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire are being urged to join a scheme it's hoped will encourage sustainable fishing.
Only nine chippies in the region have so far signed up to the Marine Stewardship Council's blue badge initiative which means they only sell fish from areas which haven't been overfished.
Paperwork, lack of customer demand and cost are being blamed for the low number, but the MSC says it's now brought its charges down in a bid to attract more members.
Geoff Whitehead, from Whitehead's Fish and Chips in Hornsea, says the cost of being part of the scheme is worth paying:
Quote Message
It's the right thing to do. You have to look after the fish stocks, end of story. If you don't, you don't have any fish and we don't have a business."
