Managers at Scunthorpe and Grimsby hospitals have decided to postpone all non-emergency operations until the end of January to help ease winter pressures.

They say they're in the process of reviewing appointments and will contact patients directly to re-arrange their treatment where necessary.

A number of routine outpatient clinics and day cases will also be cancelled to free up staff to care for the most serious and urgent cases.

Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust say they have continued with the majority of elective surgery as planned over the last two weeks, with fewer than 30 procedures cancelled.

The protected homes were receiving an average of 38 nuisance calls every month, according to Trading Standards.

Ronald Wilson, who nearly fell victim to a scam call, says he hasn't received a cold call for six months since signing up to the scheme.

Calls are growing for East Riding of Yorkshire Council to provide a free school bus while a railway footbridge is replaced in Bridlington.

The bridge, which is a shortcut used by Hilderthorpe School pupils who live on the town's West Hill estate, is being closed because it's unsafe.

It's due to be closed until the autumn and Councillor David Robson says children on the estate will face an unacceptably long walk to their school during the closure.

The council says the journey doesn't meet its criteria for free transport, but has promised to look into the matter.
