  10. Wild mussels 'contaminated with plastics'published at 07:39 British Summer Time 8 June 2018

    Press Association

    Tiny pieces of plastic and other debris have been found in mussels sampled from eight locations around the UK coast, including Plymouth, according to a report published in the Environmental Pollution journal.

    Of the samples of wild mussels from eight coastal locations and eight unnamed supermarkets, 100% were found to contain microplastics or other debris "from human activity".

    Mussels

    The research by scientists from the University of Hull and Brunel University London showed microplastics consumption by people eating seafood in the UK was likely to be "common and widespread", with every 100 grams of mussels eaten containing an estimated 70 pieces of debris.

    More debris was found in the wild mussels from Plymouth, Edinburgh, Filey, Hastings, Brighton, Cardiff and Wallasey, than in the farmed mussels bought in shops.

  12. Your reaction to House of Fraser closure planspublished at 17:23 British Summer Time 7 June 2018

    People have been giving us their reaction to the news that House of Fraser plans to close its Hull, Grimsby and Lincoln stores.

    Kathleen Beanland, from Hull says there won't be "a real lot to go to" apart from major shopping centres and retail parks on the outskirts of the city:

    Kathleen Beanland
    Quote Message

    We're losing so many stores now because of all this online shopping. I like to come into a store, have a look round and see what I can buy. I think it's going to affect the city because it's one of our oldest stores. It's been here since I've been a child and I'm 67 now so I'm really gutted."

    Kathleen Beanland

    Alan and Judith Carter from Barton-upon-Humber were surprised by news of the closures:

    Quote Message

    Really shocked to see House of Fraser closing. Didn't think it would be this one. We thought the Grimsby one yeah because that's smaller but thought this one would've survived... we don't come very often."

    Judith Carter, Barton-upon-Humber

    Quote Message

    Even though there's hardly anyone in it, it's a bit of a prestigious store for the centre of town. Years ago it used to be busy like every other shop before the days of internet shopping and eveything else. Time moves on and things have to change whether it's good or bad."

    Alan Carter, Barton-upon-Humber

    Jack Mennell who works at Bronx, an independent clothing shop opposite House of Fraser in Hull, is more positive and thinks House of Fraser customers may come to their shop:

    Hopefully they'll have some plans in place when they leave so we'll still get a good feed of people walking through the city centre."
