Former Chancellor Norman Lamont has hit back at critics who claim his home town will suffer as a result of Brexit.

Lord Lamont was brought up in Grimsby and is part of a team behind plans to regenerate the town.

But its predictions about the impact of Brexit on Grimsby that provokes the strongest reaction from the former Chancellor. He claims in 10 year's time "people will forget we were ever members of the European Union".

Figures in the local seafood industry have called for the area to be given free-trade status after Britain leaves the EU.

A proposal that has not gone down well with those who are opposed to our departure including the scientist Brian Cox who suggested on social media that everyone in the country should be given a Brexit exemption.

North East Lincolnshire recorded one of the highest votes in favour of Brexit.

Almost 70% opted to leave the EU and this area continues to be at the centre of this highly-charged debate.

Radio Humberside was contacted by a concerned listener, Graham Lilley who is appealing to the people of Hull to "bring back our paddleboat, it's rotting in Hartlepool, it's our last chance to save this bit of history and culture".

But Hartlepool Borough Council say there is a Conservation Management Plan which will help them to preserve and display the vessel, which they are committed to keeping there.

Bertie Armstrong is from the Scottish Fishermen's Federation, he says they don't want a 'no-deal' scenario, but that current transition plans won't suit the industry:

Run-down parts of Driffield with derelict buildings on them could be regenerated under new plans.

They include derelict factories north of Middle Street and the old White's Sugar Mill site (pictured above) near the railway station.

There's a big shortage of affordable houses in the East Riding.

Driffield Town Council thinks setting up a community housing company may allow some cheaper homes to be built.

Some government funding could be available

Humberside Police says a number of parking notices appearing on cars in Hornsea have not been issued by the force and are fake.

Warnings have been appearing around Rawson's Way because people are parking on the pavements in that area.

East Riding Council says it's not an offence to park on the pavement in the region unless there is a sign clearly indicating you cannot park there.

They add that causing an obstruction on the highway is a matter that should be raised with the police.

Humberside Police say you can contact them on the 101 number, at Hornsea Police station or you can email them, external.

Hull's Old Town has changed dramatically since Hull was announced as the City of Culture four years ago.

The area has seen millions of pounds worth of investment and the council has created a grant scheme to help people get their new ventures off the ground.

Work done by us here at BBC Radio Humberside shows more than 50 new businesses, which weren't around in 2013, now call the city's historic heart their home.

That doesn't include figures on which businesses have closed.

In Hornsea someone is so cross with people parking on the pavements that they've gone to the trouble of printing off fake parking tickets and sticking them on vehicles.

They look like they are the real deal, with the plastic yellow sticky wallet - and even threatening police action.

But it is not an offence to park on pavements in East Yorkshire unless there is a sign saying so.

Both Humberside Police and East Riding Council have told us that they have nothing to do with the tickets and are urging people who know anything about them to contact the police.

Today is the last day of an inquiry which is looking into a decision to deny a company permission to drill for oil in a North Lincolnshire village.

Egdon Resources had hoped to extract up to 700,000 barrels from a single oil well at a site in Wressle, estimated to be worth as much as £30m.

The council have refused permission a number of times because they have environmental concerns.

Egdon Resources say the process is safe.
