Marcus Joyce, 23, died after the crash between his yellow Suzuki off-road bike and a VW Tiguan on Blackmoorfoot Road on Tuesday evening.

Mr Joyce's sister Katie said: “No words will ever describe the pain and heartache my mum, me, my sister and whole family feel right now.

"You were the best uncle and we will make sure you live on in your nephews and niece... but for now little brother sleep tight.”

The driver of the Tiguan, a 28-year-old man, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and police are keen to speak to anybody who witnessed the incident.

The father of former Leeds Rhinos player Rob Burrow says his trip to deliver a petition to Downing Street was "more than worth it".

Geoff Burrow joined Rob, former Bradford City footballer Stephen Darby and other campaigners to call on the government to invest £50m in research into Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

He told BBC Radio Leeds: "It was an absolutely brilliant day - tiring, but brilliant. And to see the MPs and the fellow sufferers with MND all smiling, it really was a fabulous day."

Rob was diagnosed in 2019, and since then has worked to raise the profile of efforts to combat the disease.

Geoff added: "You don't realise how brutal MND is until it happens to you or a family member."

Businesses across North East Lincolnshire are being asked to sign up to a project to give young people opportunities about the world of work and divert them away from crime.

The Hive Inspire Project will offer the chance for young people to connect based on their interests, aspirations and skills and it's hoped it will reduce anti-social behaviour and crime.

Whilst it's being piloted in North East Lincolnshire, there are hopes to expand the project into North Lincolnshire, Hull and the East Riding if successful.

Jo Taylor, (pictured above) manager of Business Hive says "Instead of them going down the road of criminality or sexual exploitation which is a real threat to them... they could be going into employment, they could be the next business leaders and I have every confidence that if we give them that opportunity that they can achieve great things."

Scarborough Borough Council has produced a report into the cemetery provision in the area, warning existing sites could be full within the next four years.

A number of sites in Whitby were looked at with the council initially favouring one near to the world famous Abbey, though the potential cost of archaeological works made it too expensive.

The one now under consideration is what the council has called an “underused” sports field off Larpool Lane and Larpool Drive, but councillors have been warned that securing it will not be easy.

Land near the existing Woodlands Cemetery in Scarborough has also been identified for expansion of that site.

In Filey, an area to the south of the Lawns, which is managed by Filey Town Council, is considered the best option.

The total cost of developing the three sites for burials is estimated at more than £1m and planning permission would be required for the change of use of land.
