Vulnerable communities hit by coastal erosion should be helped out by the creation of a national fund for those affected, according to East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

A significant number of homes and businesses are at risk and the erosion rate is expected to increase in future due to rising sea levels and more frequent storm events, according to the authority.

Just last week, a large section of cliff fell away in Hornsea, with residents describing the situation as worrying.

A religious education teacher who was thrown off a Sheffield University course after being accused of posting "derogatory" comments on Facebook is due to take his case to the Court of Appeal later.

Felix Ngole, from Barnsley, who is a devout Christian, was thrown off a two-year MA social work degree course in 2015 after posting on Facebook that "the Bible and God identify homosexuality as a sin".

Mr Ngole complained that university bosses had unfairly stopped him completing the course, saying he was lawfully expressing a traditional Christian view, but he lost a High Court fight in 2017.

Sheffield University said the decision to remove him from the course was fair and proportionate.

The university said he was taking a "professionally qualifying degree" with the aim of becoming a social worker and argued what he had said would affect gay people he might work with.

Mr Ngole argued that throwing him out breached his human rights, but Deputy High Court judge Rowena Collins Rice ruled that university bosses had acted within the law.

Scarborough's Regal Lady participated in Operation Dynamo at Dunkirk, the World War Two evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force and French troops from beaches in France, involving about 700 so-called "Little Ships".

She made three trips to the French coast in 1940, rescuing hundreds of Allied troops.

Since the 1950s, the craft has been operating as a passenger vessel and it is now up for sale.

There are now plans for the Regal Lady to become a Dunkirk-themed attraction located in Scarborough harbour, including a cafe, displays of memorabilia, artefacts from the evacuation and a small cinema showing archive footage.

If the plan's approved, it could open as early as spring next year.

A man has been jailed for six years for causing a woman's death by dangerous driving as she waited at a bus stop on her way to go shopping.

Janette Lee, a mother of three, died when she was hit by a car driven by Dawson on 14 January, while she was standing at a bus stop on Carlton Road, Worksop.

Her parents, Bryan and Sheila, said: "Finding your daughter lying dead in the road after being involved in a violent collision is just indescribable.

"We’re still in complete shock and disbelief that this day even happened."

Dashcam footage showed Dawson, 55, driving on the wrong side of the road, causing another driver to take evasive action, before he hit the 42-year-old mother-of-three. Dawson was also banned for driving for six years and 10 months.
