A former town clerk at Crowle and Ealand Town Council in North Lincolnshire has been sentenced to eight months in prison for stealing £23,428 from the council.

Katy Fowler, 44, took the money over a four-year period when she worked there as a clerk doing administrative tasks and looking after their finances.

She was fired by the council at the end of March 2017 when members began asking questions after they felt they were paying too much for CCTV cameras.

Fowler had told them the council needed to pay £600 every month to maintain these cameras.

Actually that £600 only needed to be paid every three months and the rest was going into Fowler’s bank account. She also kept call out fees and some one-off payments.

The Lord Line building, built in 1949, has stood empty on St Andrew's Dock for a number of years and is on the council's list, external of architecturally or historically significant buildings.

The plans, which include a new restaurant, bar, office, and roof terrace, have been put forward by the building's owners, Manor Property Group.

Plans to demolish the former Lord Line building were rejected by Hull City Council last November.

Councillor Martin Mancey has told the BBC the proposals don't address a number of safety concerns the council has about the site.

The authority will continue to pursue Manor Property Group over those concerns, he added.

Volunteers could be used to patrol ports on the Humber and along the coast as the Border Force becomes increasingly stretched.

The Home Office is understood to be considering a trial at Immingham, one of the UK's busiest ports.

The government says the volunteers would complement, not replace, paid staff and they're talking to the police to see how they use volunteers to complement their staff.

Labour and Hull East MP Karl Turner says it's like something from the TV programme Dad's Army.

Mr Parnaby has told the BBC that the plans by the board were not financially viable and the estimated number of people who would use it was optimistic.

In a statement the Humber Bridge Board said that they were aware of the comments made by Mr Parnaby.

They say they're developing a business plan and exploring funding options for the Humber Bridge visitor attraction.

British tennis number two, Tickton's Kyle Edmund, had an injury scare as he pushed world number three Grigor Dimitrov to three sets in the quarter-finals of the Brisbane International.

The 22-year-old needed treatment after he went over on his right ankle at 4-4 in the decider.

He was able to resume but went on to lose 6-3 6-7 (3-7) 6-4.

Edmund will now have the injury assessed before 2017's opening Grand Slam, which starts on 15 January.

With Andy Murray already out with a hip problem, Edmund is due to be the highest-ranked Briton in the men's singles.

League Two side Grimsby sign Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Jake Kean on loan until the end of the season.

The Post Office has broken promises it made to provide a mobile service after closing rural branches, according to residents of two villages in East Yorkshire.

People in Barmston and Rudston say the visiting service has been unreliable and they've been left without any post office for months.

Campaigners plan to turn a derelict church in Hull into a community centre.

The building, on Beverley Road, has been abandoned for a number of years, but The Friends of Trafalgar Street Church want it to become a drop-in centre or even a wedding venue.

Here's what the church looks like today, scenes which the Friends hope will soon be a thing of the past:

A company which wanted to drill for oil in North Lincolnshire says it's disappointed by a decision to refuse its application.

A government planning inspector raised concerns about the potential impact on local water and nearby residents in Wressle, near Scunthorpe.

Egdon Resources, an oil and gas production business, says the decision is "highly disappointing".

A study commissioned by Egdon Resources in 2016 found Wressle was sitting on reserves of about two million barrels of recoverable oil.

North Lincolnshire Council's planning committee has since turned down two planning applications to turn it into a commercial oil production site, with the government now dismissing an appeal.

Plans to create a glass lift on the Humber Bridge look unlikely to go ahead after the leader of East Riding of Yorkshire Council said the plans were not feasible.

Stephen Parnaby has told the BBC that the plans by the Humber Bridge Board are not financially viable and the estimated number of people who would use it was optimistic.

The proposals would have allowed visitors to travel under the bridge at Hessle in a glass gondola before changing to the lift which would have raised them 510ft to the top of the north tower.

Proposals for a visitor centre and glass lift were originally rejected in 2016 due to concerns over a 60,000sq ft office block which was part of the project, but councillors said they'd consider a revised plan.

Mr Parnaby believes there still needs to be some form of visitor attraction at the Humber Bridge to encourage tourists:

A campaign has begun to find the owner of an old photograph found on the floor of a supermarket in Barton-upon-Humber.

The picture of a young woman found in Tesco is more than 70 years old.

On the back it reads: "To Bobby with love from Marian" and is dated 1945.

Tesco Barton's community champion Pip Bennett says the supermarket is keen to return it to its rightful owner.

Prank takeaway orders are costing firms in Grimsby and Cleethorpes money, according to Humberside Police.

Police in Cleethorpes say somebody is ordering take-outs and having the food delivered to people who don't want them.

Officers are now telling takeaways to make sure orders are genuine and payments are being made.

Gwen Clarke, from Michael's indian restaurant in Thornton, is one of those affected:

An application to drill for oil at a North Lincolnshire village has been rejected by the government.

The decision follows a public inquiry held before Christmas into plans by Egdon Resources to develop an existing well at Wressle, near Scunthorpe.

A government planning inspector raised concerns about potential impacts on local water and nearby residents.

Egdon Resources, an oil and gas production business, called the decision "highly disappointing".

Egdon Resources hopes to turn the Wressle well into a commercial oil production site.

An application to drill for oil at a village near Scunthorpe has been rejected by a government planning inspector.

The decision follows a public inquiry held before Christmas into plans by Egdon Resources to develop an existing site at Wressle.

There had been strong local opposition and North Lincolnshire Council had already rejected the proposals, which included the use of acid to extract oil from deep underground.

In reaching his decision the planning inspector raised concerns about the potential environmental impact of the scheme on local water supplies.

Egdon Resources has not been available for comment.

The Trafalgar Street Church, on Beverley Road, close to the city centre, has been empty for a number of years.

Now, a group wants to turn it into a space which nearby residents can use, saying it could be a community drop-in centre or even a wedding venue.
