The local trading arm of Age UK in North East Lincolnshire will close next month.

Age UK has many charities operating locally that provide a safe place for the older generation to get support and advice as well as socialise.

The closure means people will no longer be able to buy things like insurance from the centre in Grimsby.

The company say it's a national decision and that local trading companies are no longer financially viable.

Mr Odam said: "We apologise to the teams, who much enjoyed last year’s event, and to the people of Louth who came out and supported the event in its first year.

"We are actively considering 2019 and hopefully with a longer lead-in time we will be able to get the sponsors required to make it a success."

A sportive event will still be held and it's hoped the race will be included in the national series in 2019.
