One of Hull's busiest roads could be diverted onto reclaimed land on the Humber Estuary in the future, according to the Chief Executive of Hull City Council.

Matt Jukes said diverting the A63 would be challenging and expensive, but it is something that the authority is looking at.

The idea has been suggested as a way of linking the east and west of the city, and reducing congestion.

He said it isn't something that will happen soon though:

"Just because something is difficult it doesn't mean you shouldn't look at it."

"I think those are the big ideas that we should be looking at over the next 25 to 30 years."

The council says proposals are separate to the current plan to build a footbridge over the A63.

Castleford duo Tara-Jane Stanley and Georgia Roche, plus Leeds' Lois Forsell, are shortlisted for the first Woman of Steel award.

It's become so popular some of the paths are being badly eroded and some residents are leaving their homes at weekends, the authority heard.

Richard Welch, a North Yorkshire county councillor for Ribblesdale, told the authority feelings were running high in villages such as Horton in Ribblesdale due to "over-tourism."

He said: "Every weekend it is absolute pandemonium - the Three Peaks walk is making people's lives a misery."

The authority plans to look at other routes at its December meeting.

Old rates started at £3.80 adding £1.60 for every mile travelled, but new prices will start at £4.05 for the first mile and £1.70 per mile after that.

The rise applies to Hackney carriages licensed by Doncaster Council.

Customers who vomit, soil or urinate themselves will also pay more - with fines rising from £35 to £37.

Bosses say the price hike equates to an increase of 6% and is needed due to inflation, with the changes coming in as soon as 7 October.

Plans to tighten up city centre security in York are due to be discussed by councillors later.

It's after the council commissioned independent security experts to develop a plan for long-term measures to combat the threat of "vehicle weapon attacks," like those seen in Toronto, London and Nice.

The proposals are described as "precautionary," but the council leader says they have a responsibility to keep the city safe.

The council plans to introduce a six-month experimental traffic order, to see how the measures would impact on residents, retailers and disabled people.

Barriers were placed in front of York Minster in 2017, but the city has been advised by police that further measures are needed.

York receives over seven million visitors a year and Ian Gillies, leader of the council, said keeping people safe was vital.

"The worst thing would be for us not to do anything and for something to happen," he said.
