Two large buildings in Hull city centre are to be bought by the city council and demolished to make way for a possible new ice arena.
Image source, Hull City CouncilCouncillors agreed the project could go ahead at a meeting today.
The authority is to spend about £5m buying the former BHS and Edwin Davis buildings.
A new development on the site will include housing and shops as well as new leisure facilities.
Redevelopment of the area could take up to five years, according to Hull City Council.
A planned refurbishment and redevelopment of Scunthorpe Market will increase the number of customers, according to North Lincolnshire Council.
Some traders say they fear plans for a facelift for the market could put them out of business after stalls are moved outside while the work is going on.
But Rob Waltham, from North Lincolnshire Council, says the refurbishment is aimed at benefiting traders and local residents:
Quote MessageThe market is not the building that exists currently. For me the market is about improving Scunthorpe town centre and that's an important dynamic we've all got to embrace. We also need to make sure that we've got a market in which we've got really excessive footfall. We're putting the town council offices...and other business in there. All those are a mix that will increase the footfall."

Staff at Hull Prison will be among the first in the country to have access to a spray aimed at helping them deal with violent prisoners.
It's one of just four jails to try out the "incapacitant" spray, which is similar to the pepper spray used by police officers.
The prisons minister says prisons officers having access to the spray will ensure staff have the right tools for the job.
The Prison Officers Association said the measure was "long overdue".
But the Howard League for Penal Reform claims using pepper-like spray will add to violence and disorder rather than prevent it:
Quote MessageThe Ministry of Justice should be preventing disorder and violence, not adding to it. Increasing the weapons of staff will not serve to protect them in a prison system that is failing them, prisoners and victims. I have written to ministers suggesting immediate actions they could take to ease the pressure in prisons, but in the long run, radical reform is required."

Three years ago the arts venue almost shut down for good.
Today, it's been announced that it's to get £10,000 from the National Lottery which will help keep it going.
Now, Steven Maxson, chair of the trustee committee at the hall, has said it's over to the local community to use the venue more to make sure its future is secure.

I am at Scunthorpe Market today, talking to people about a petition signed by thousands of local residents asking the council not to go ahead with plans to move all the traders here before giving the place a facelift.
Julia Murray (pictured) took time out from her stall to tell me she believes the council's plans are not practical and there are no assurances they'll be able to return to the site:
Quote MessageWe do feel that if the market goes from this site, it won't come back to this site."
Julia Murray, Market trader
North Lincolnshire Council says the facelift is part of a £60m investment in the town centre.
