A major road into Beverley will remain closed until Friday due to the aftermath of a burst water main.

Meanwhile, a diversion remains in place.

We've been hearing this morning about plans for a new electronic map showing where life-saving defibrillators can be found across Yorkshire.

A major survey, external which will look at the future of East Yorkshire's town centres begins today.
It will look at what shops and leisure facilities there are and will help to shape future investment.
Towns being targeted include Beverley, Driffield, Hedon, Hornsea, Howden, Market Weighton, Pocklington, Snaith, Withernsea, Goole, Cottingham, Hessle and Elloughton/Brough.

A massive clean-up operation has begun at a North Yorkshire cricket club after nearly 50 travellers and 14 caravans were evicted from the site.
Andrew Papworth, club secretary at Whitley Bridge Cricket Club, in Eggborough, said the wicket had been damaged, broken glass and rubbish had been strewn across the pitch, and the equipment shed had been broken into.
A specialist team had also been called in to help remove human faeces from the pitch and behind the pavilion, Mr Papworth added.
He said two matches due to be played later this week had been moved to a nearby ground, but he hoped the side could return for the culmination of the season.
"We've got six fixtures left after this weekend and we will do our utmost to make sure the ground is fit," he said.
"But there's a large clean-up operation. There's glass everywhere and the safety of people on the ground is paramount."
A quick-thinking North Yorkshire Special Constable who saved a man from being crushed by a canal boat has been praised.
Harrogate-based Temporary Special Sgt Mike Parris was on a family narrowboat holiday in North Wales when a man in his 70s fell from a nearby boat.
Acting quickly, Sgt Parris hoisted the man to safety by his belt in a bid to prevent him being crushed between the boat and the canal bank.
Sgt Parris said: "I came out of my boat and heard someone calling for help. I thought they were struggling to moor at first, but then realised there was a man in the water.
"He was in between the boat and the side of the canal, so it could have been pretty horrible.
"He was a bit wet and shaken, but fortunately he was absolutely fine apart from that."
Supt Paula Booth, County Commander for the Harrogate area, said Sgt Parris' actions and quick-thinking were "a credit to the force".
