    Fosters Bakery, which opened in 1952, is at capacity, according to its managing director.

    But John Foster said the "frustrating" wait for details of the final deal Britain has with the EU makes it impossible to take decisions about future investment.

    "Whatever it is just give us certainty," he said.

    "If it's going to be a hard Brexit on a particular day, let's have it and then we can all aim at that day.

    "Let's not have the 'what if, what if,what if.'

    "That's the real bad thing for us."

    The idea was proposed by Humberside Police to help it deal with high crime levels in the area.

    There were 37,846 incidents reported to the police in the past four years around Spring Bank, Princes Avenue, Newland Avenue and Beverley Road.

    A cumulative impact zone has now been passed by the city council, which means that anyone who applies for a new licence will have to show it will not add to any existing problems in that area.

    Police say there's been persistent anti-social behaviour issues in the area, where there are currently 166 licensed premises, including 42 off-licences.

    The amount of alcohol-related crime in Hull is 43% higher than the national average.

    It costs nearly £80m a year to deal with alcohol misuse in the city.

    Mr Goodwill said he feared "we're in danger of ending up with no deal".

    Meanwhile, York Labour MP Rachael Maskell said Mr Raab's resignation means there's now "no chance of a Brexit plan getting through".

  20. Leeds' 'managed' red light zone to continuepublished at 09:11 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2018

    Leeds' managed red light zone was debated yesterday by Leeds City Council and, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, it's here to stay for the foreseeable future.

    However, a leading councillor said an independent review should be carried out on the future of Britain's first "legal" red light zone.

    People living in the area said they'd been plagued by anti-social behaviour since the zone was set up.

    Members of the local authority's full council discussed a motion, known as a white paper, calling on the council to prove it can either make the "managed approach" work or stop it all together.

    Debra Coupar, deputy council leader, called for an amendment to the motion and said enhanced work was taking place to ensure communities were not negatively affected by that work.

    Councillor Coupar said the review should take place "once the enhanced activity has been given time to take effect".
