A man is due to appear in court in relation to a stabbing in Hull which left a man needing hospital treatment for his injuries.

Andrew Kyle Reid is due before Hull Magistrates Court in connection with the incident which took place in Shannon Road, Hull, on 19 May.

He is charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent and possessing a knife in a public place.

The 33-year-old, from Greenwich Avenue, Hull, has also been charged with two counts of possessing an offensive weapon in a public place, two counts of robbery and one count of burglary in relation to two separate incidents.

Humberside Police say another man wanted in connection with the Shannon Road incident has been arrested and released on conditional bail.

More powers are needed to stop people from parking on pavements, according to Sheffield City Council.

When people park on pavements it causes hazards for pedestrians with pushchairs and disabilities, the authority says.

But it says local authorities can currently only issue fines where cars are blocking footpaths next to roads where there are parking restrictions already in place.

Otherwise it falls to the police to follow up on complaints.

A driver who was pulled over by police in Hull told officers it was "only a puncture" when his tyre looked like this:

Humberside Police have shared the photograph on Twitter of the frayed and shredded tyre...or at least what was left of it.

The motorist had been driving with his tyre in this condition for "some time", the driver said.

A bright orange wall on Whitby’s West Pier looks set to be replaced following a public outcry.

The colourful stone parapet was put in place earlier this year as part of a £7.6m scheme to safeguard the long-term future of the crumbling structures.

But during the construction process, the wall ended up being built in a bright orange colour, out of keeping with the rest of the Grade II listed structures.

Scarborough Council has now submitted a planning application to return it to a more traditional colour after a number of complaints from people in the town.

Whitby Civic Society chairman Dr John Field said: “We welcome the proposal to replace the bright orange parapet with stone.”

Over £8m is to be spent widening and improving a major link road in Doncaster.

Councillors will vote to draw down £5m from the Sheffield City Region and about £3.3m from the Northern Powerhouse body to upgrade the A630 West Moor Link Road.

The road stretches from the town centre, along Wheatley Hall Road before heading past Edenthorpe and Armthorpe and joins junction four of the M18.

Council bosses acknowledge problems along the route with congestion, which is made worse by a narrow passing under a railway bridge between Wheatley Hills and Edenthorpe.

Figures show 240 buses travelling in both directions use this part of the route every day, constituting a "pinch point".

Highways chiefs have said additional road capacity can be achieved by creating an additional lane to result in two lanes on each side of the carriageway.

Improvements will also include space for a wider pavement with cycling facilities.

Council bosses say the work will reduce peak journey times by about seven minutes, with work starting in July and lasting until March 2020.

The man is said to have been in distress after trying to get to a boat using an inflatable kayak.

The crew of another boat in the outer harbour pulled the man to safety before the lifeboat arrived.

First aid was given by staff from Scarborough lifeboat station and the coastguard, but he wasn't taken to hospital.

In a statement on Facebook, the RNLI in Scarborough has now issued this plea: "It’s an old saying that more people die in harbours than at sea. You should always wear a life jacket."
