Two police officers to face misconduct hearing over Janet Alder surveillancepublished at 12:01 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2017

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) , externalhas directed Humberside Police to hold gross misconduct hearings for two police officers, following its independent investigation into the police's surveillance of Janet Alder, the sister of Christopher Alder who died in custody in Hull in 1998, and another person.
Christopher Alder died while lying face down and unconscious in a pool of blood in a police custody suite in Hull, as a group of officers stood chatting nearby.
The surveillance of Janet Alder, which happened during the inquest of her brother's death, came to light when a serving Humberside Police officer told superiors of the operation.
An IPCC report in 2015 found evidence of a case for gross misconduct but the Crown Prosecution Service said there was not enough evidence.
The IPCC commissioner has written to Humberside Police to direct them to hold hearings for the officers, with a date for this still to be confirmed.
Quote Message
The decision to direct a police forces to hold a disciplinary hearing is not taken lightly. Taking into account the serious nature of the allegations and weight of evidence presented to me, I felt it was essential for public confidence that the officers concerned account for their actions.
Cindy Butts, IPCC Commissioner

It was a year ago that the final ride fell silent at Pleasure Island theme park in Cleethorpes.
Many of the rides have been sold but a new owner for the whole site is yet to be found.
It was feared its closure would lead to a drop in tourists but this summer was one of the busiest yet with visitor numbers up by 10%.
Chair of CoastNEL Lawrence Brown says the town is more than just a theme park
Quote Message
We've managed to pool different pots of money to create £7.2 million of investment, that was recently announced. With private money coming in as well it's close to eight and a half million pounds. This investment is going to take Cleethorpes forward into the future.

Cancer services changes blamed on staff shortagespublished at 17:11 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2017
Vicky Johnson
BBC Look North
Some cancer patients in North East Lincolnshire will have to travel to Hull for treatment after a decision made this afternoon by the trust which runs hospitals in Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Goole.
The Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust says staff shortages means moving complex chemotherapy work to Castle Hill in Hull will help to provide a safe service.
The changes are expected to affect about 70 patients every year, the trust says.
The arrangement is initially temporary but, subject to public consultation, could be made permanent, it adds.
Quote Message
We have long-established links with Castle Hill and our aim is to ensure local cancer patients receive the quality care they need. This change to the service will affect patients receiving haematological care from the trust, but it will mean their more complex care needs will be met at a centre of excellence."
