Two football coaches have launched a campaign to repair several artificial pitches in Hull in a bid to provide somewhere "affordable" for youth sides to play.

Martin Lowthorpe and Lee Forlow estimate it will take them two years to fix the playing surfaces on Pickering Road.

Mr Forlow, who has set up a community interest company to get the work done, says: "We want to bring it up to a high standard and make it available again."

The pair hope to raise money to fund the work by selling advertising space around the perimeter of the pitch.

Mr Lowthorpe, who runs the West 'Ull Yorkies team, said: "We need a venue in this area that we can afford to play at."

Police are asking for help after a 15-year-old girl went missing from the Huddersfield area overnight.

A field just outside Scarborough could become the permanent home for an annual travellers' horse fair whose origins date back to the 1300s.

The Seamer Horse Fair, which has an historic connection with Richard II, would be held each year on a piece of land just off the B1261.

For the last nine years, the event has taken place between Seamer and Crossgates, attracting 230 people at its peak, though this year that number dropped to just 55.

Scarborough Borough Council has submitted a planning application for the site, which will be decided in February next year.

The fair dates back to a Royal Charter issued in November 1382 by Richard II, but it was not until the 1900s that the fair became associated with travellers.

A car got wedged between railings after it took a wrong turning and was driven over a pedestrian footbridge in East Yorkshire, it's emerged.

The Suzuki Alto negotiated a large bend on the bridge near to the A63 in Hessle, but its off-road escapades came to a halt by a concrete bollard blocking its exit.

Police were called to help the stuck motorist at about 15:00 on Monday.

Humberside Police declined to give any details about the driver, or how they managed to end up on the footbridge.

The force said the car was there for several hours before it was removed.

The force is criticised on social media for its messages aimed at preventing child abuse.

William Welch's actions amounted to "animal cruelty at the highest level", the RSPCA say.

Paraffin wax, which originally washed up on the shore in Bridlington, has contaminated about 20 miles of coast line.

The substance, sometimes used to clean-out the storage tanks of commercial ships, has appeared as far north as Humanby Gap, near Filey.

Yorkshire Wildlife Trust say it will "impact the marine environment" and could be eaten by birds mistaking it for food.

Its unclear whether more wax could be washed up along the coast.

It depends on the tide and weather, the trust said.
