Police officers are "actively patrolling" flood-hit areas of East Yorkshire where residents have been forced to leave their properties, according to the Humberside force.

While there have been a "couple of reports" of people being seen in and around evacuated homes, when questioned they were checking their own or a neighbour's property, the force says.

Officers are out and about in Snaith, Godwall and East Cowick (pictured) and there have been "no confirmed" reports of break-ins or looting, the force says.

Local Neighbourhood Inspector Mark Lovell says: "We're actively monitoring the areas evacuated and want to reassure residents we will act quickly to reports of suspicious activity.

"Anyone who sees anything suspicious in these areas should call us on 101 to report their concerns. If there is believed to be a crime in progress or a threat to life always call 999."

A major new music festival in York headlined by Lionel Richie has been given the go-ahead despite concerns raised over noise levels.

The three-day festival at York Sports Club in Clifton Park in June will also feature Westlife, Madness, Sophie Ellis Bextor and Take That's Howard Donald.

But the organisers have been told by City of York Council that they won't be able to have the music as loud as they wanted.

The council’s public protection team said the planned noise levels – 75 decibels at some nearby homes – were too high and some residents were worried about noise, with up to 20,000 people arriving at the venue.

Phil Crier, a solicitor speaking on behalf of the festival organisers, said: "This is not for Iron Maiden or Motorhead, it’s for Westlife and Lionel Richie, for goodness’ sake.”

The council’s public protection team said no venue in the city had ever had permission to play above 65 decibels.

Michael Golightly, from the council, said: “We're not against the holding of a music festival, but this venue is not an arena with all the associated infrastructure. The difference of 10 decibels is a perceived doubling of the noise.”

Back Lane in East Cowick has been overwhelmed with water.

But that inundation didn't really begin until Thursday evening - as shown by the video below.

When a BBC crew went back on Friday morning, they saw how dramatically the water had risen:

The government will take control of train operator Northern's franchise this weekend.

From Sunday, services previously operated by Northern will be run by the government-controlled Operator of Last Resort.

The operator has been run by Arriva Rail North, but its franchise was stripped back in January after years of major disruption.

At the time, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said passengers had "lost trust in the North's rail network".

Although the name of the operator will change on Sunday, branding on trains won't change and staff will keep their jobs.

As efforts continue in East Cowick to deal with flooding there, drivers in East Yorkshire are being warned to avoid the area if at all possible:
