  6. Hull councillor on trial over indecent images of childrenpublished at 17:32 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2018

    Hull City councillor Steven Bayes has gone on trial accused of downloading indecent images of children and possessing extreme pornography.

    Steven Bayes

    In August 2016 police officers took a laptop computer from his home in Hull.

    The prosecution says nine indecent images and six indecent videos of children were found.

    There were also 27 images of extreme pornography.

    Hull Crown Court heard that in a police interview, Mr Bayes denied sexual interest in children and said other people had access to the laptop.

    Mr Bayes said the laptop was not password protected and that his bank accounts had been hacked, suggesting his computer had been compromised.

    Mr Bayes, from Prospect Street, Hull, denies all three charges against him and the case continues.

  7. Plans to increase council tax for policing approvedpublished at 16:53 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2018

    Plans to increase the amount people pay towards policing in East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire have been given the go-ahead.

    Humberside Police

    The Humberside Police and Crime Panel voted in favour of increasing the amount paid through the council tax policing precept by 6.4%.

    The proposals had been put forward by Police and Crime commissioner Keith Hunter, who says the extra money would be used to pay for more officers.

    Mr Hunter says the proposals mean that a typical Band D property would pay an extra 23p a week.

    Quote Message

    The reality is we have been put in this position by the government and every community I speak to says they want more police officers. Therefore, this was the only way it could be delivered, so I’m not happy at increasing taxes but I’m content that I will be doing what communities want me to do"

    Keith Hunter, Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner

    The Studio bar wants to vary its licence but Humberside police has objected to the proposals.

    It comes after the death of Michael Hawkins, who suffered serious head injuries while outside the bar last September.

    PC Keith Lambplough works in Hull and says the take-up of plastic glasses in the city has had a big impact:

    Quote Message

    Quite a lot of the injuries we see are aimed at the face area. Quite often a lot of people's hands are cut where they've tried to defend themselves Thankfully that is much rarer now with the use of poly-carbonate glasses."

  20. Young people 'excluded' from applying for jobspublished at 10:56 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2018

    It's being claimed two thirds of employers in Yorkshire and the Humber are deliberately excluding younger people when advertising for certain roles.

    Lawyers Slater and Gordon commissioned the research which looks into the methods bosses use to recruit new staff.

    They say the research found that 60% deliberately excluded younger people when advertising certain roles and that almost a fifth (18%) of bosses admit to unlawfully discriminating when recruiting; specifically women and the over 50s.

    The company says the research shows that some employers think it's fine to target specific demographics when advertising for a job.

    Quote Message

    A lot of employers admit to unlawfully targeting their job ads at certain groups of individuals, when they're advertising online. This targeted advertising stops certain groups of job seekers from seeing those adverts."
