    An application by energy firm Orsted to extend the life of a weather radar station in East Yorkshire has been rejected by councillors.

    Radar

    The radar, at Tunstall, monitors weather conditions at the Westermost Rough offshore windfarm.

    It's been operating for nearly 18 months, but the firm had applied for a 12-month extension.

    Local residents had pressed councillors to reject the application, claiming it was an eyesore and saying they were worried about its impact on their health.

    Orsted Energy has said there is no evidence to support these fears.

    One village, Barney Nisbet, has told me he's "ecstatic" at the decision by East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

    It marks the start of the force's Think Don't Drink campaign over the festive period.

    Critics argue the police are acting as judge and jury by officially naming those charged with drink-driving.

    But police say the names of those facing prosecution do still appear in publicly accessible court listings:

    Quote Message

    The information is in the public domain. It's just about how we use it to try and persuade people to not commit that offence in the first place."
