    Hull Vigil is an art installation which will see a total of 730 people - two per day for a year - keeping watch from a purpose-built pod on the roof of Hull College.

    The year-long series of vigils started at around sunset on 3 May this year and will finish on 3 May 2022.

    Each person taking part has their picture taken following their vigil and setting out in writing their unique experience immediately they leave the shelter.

    All of these are featured as a blog on the Hull Vigil website, external and will form the basis of a book and public exhibition to be held during the city's Freedom Festival 2022.

    Mikey Martins, artistic director and CEO of Freedom Festival Arts Trust, said: "The six-month mark of the project caused me to review the vigil’s words in light of the events of the last 18 months.

    "What comes through is the hope and positivity for the future, not just for Hull, but also our wider region, leading the way on renewable energies, across the nation and globally in this post-pandemic world."

  14. Repairs to valley footpath sinkhole in sightpublished at 16:15 Greenwich Mean Time 5 November 2021

    A sinkhole which opened up along a popular Sheffield nature trail earlier this year should be repaired in the next couple of months, the council has said.

    The small hole opened up along a path at Hind Wheel in the Rivelin Valley and there was criticism when Sheffield Council put heavy duty fencing and warning signs around it, but didn’t carry out any repairs.

    The council now says it hopes work to fix the hole will start soon but it could be complex.

    A spokesman said: “The hole in the footpath has been caused by water leaking from the dam, therefore, before the hole is repaired, the water leak needs to be fixed.

    “We are currently making arrangements to employ a contractor to undertake this work and we hope this will commence by the end of the year.

    “We would ask that people take extra care and adhere to the on-site signs while these works are ongoing.”

    Rivelin Valley Conservation Group said people frustrated at being diverted around the hole had thrown the fencing into the river so they could pass.

    The group has asked people to walk on the opposite footpath instead.

    Hutton "apologised unreservedly" to Rafiq, 30, when he quit his role earlier today.

    Hanif Malik and Stephen Willis have now stepped down from the board following an emergency meeting.

    Lord Kamlesh Patel of Bradford has been appointed as a director and chair of the club.

    A fourth board member, Neil Hartley, will step down in the near future after "ensuring smooth transition to new leadership".

    "The club needs to learn from its past errors, regain trust and rebuild relationships with our communities," Lord Patel said.

    "Yorkshire is lucky to have a vast talent pool of cricketers, and passionate supporters, from all of our communities and we must re-engage with everyone to make a better Yorkshire County Cricket Club for everyone."

  20. 'Unprecedented' demand for weddings in Lincolnshirepublished at 13:24 Greenwich Mean Time 5 November 2021

    Local Democracy Reporting Service

    At least 40 Lincolnshire County Council staff have been trained to help carry out marriage ceremonies in a bid to tackle a big post-Covid lockdown wedding boom, it's emerged.

    Newlyweds and bouquet

    A report due before the authority next week says the Lincolnshire Registration and Celebratory Service has carried out 1,783 ceremonies between January and October this year – more than double the 711 in the same period in 2020.

    It estimates the number of bookings in 2022, currently almost 1,600, will reach over 2,000 – and there are already 300 booked for 2023.

    The report states: "The national lockdown and government road map resulted in ceremonies being heavily restricted with only emergency ceremonies taking place for the first four months of the year."

    It said as restrictions eased during spring and summer, numbers started to increase - although big events did not take place until July.

    In a bid to meet demand, the service has already trained over 40 current employees as ceremony celebrants – most of whom usually work as administrators.

    Councillor Sue Woolley, executive member for registration and celebratory services at Lincolnshire County Council, said: "With Covid restrictions on larger events lifting in July we have seen unprecedented demand on the service over a short period of time, as people rightly want to have the ceremonies they’ve waited so long to hold."
