Plans for millions of pounds to be spent on improving roads in a bid to cut congestion across North Yorkshire have been announced by the government.

More than £2m has been allocated in a bid to fill 44,500 potholes across the county.  

There are also plans to turn the A66 from Scotch Corner into a dual carriageway all the way to Penrith.

The A66 scheme would create the first new all-dual carriageway route across the Pennines since the M62 opened back in the 1970s.

I've just visited the beautiful Peasholm Park in Scarborough for BBC Radio York's Gardening Show.

I found out all about its history and, while I was there, enjoyed a tour of the park and gardens.

The park has an oriental theme and sits within a natural glen with a stream running through it, which culminates in a lake. It's also filled with waterfalls, ponds and rare trees and flowers.

It's really beautiful at the moment so I took this film:

A piece of theatre devised by three armed forces veterans is due to be performed for the first time in Scarborough tonight.

The performance is the result of a 10-week course run by the Stephen Joseph Theatre working alongside the FirstLight Trust, a charity for veterans and those going through the transition from military to civilian life.

I've been talking to Paul Higgins, a former RAF man and one of those taking part in tonight's performace, and to Carolyn Mayow from the FirstLight Trust.

Paul told me he's really benefited from the project:

Academics at the University of Leeds are looking at ways the Yorkshire region can be made more resilient to flooding, external.

Parts of West and North Yorkshire were badly hit by last year's Boxing Day floods, with thousands of homes and businesses affected.  

The people behind the £6m project say it's predicted to bring a benefit to the Yorkshire economy of £50m and will reduce the costs and impact of water-related threats to the region. 

The work will focus on what's known as the Yorkshire Ouse Basin, which encompasses cities like Leeds, Bradford, York and Sheffield, as well as a number of our region's rivers.

The aim is to "join up ways of improving water quality, resilience to floods and droughts, carbon storage and biodiversity", according to the university.

There are a couple of incidents to make you aware of on the A19 at the moment:

• There's very slow traffic and one lane closed on the A19 southbound in Borrowby, between the Leake Lane junction and Knayton because of a police incident
• Expect queuing traffic and delays on the A19 in both directions in Barlby, between the A63 junction and the York Road junction. The delays are due to roadworks in the area

It's hoped a new bus route through North Yorkshire will help give rural towns a much-welcome economic boost and offer company to isolated people in the Yorkshire Dales.

The not-for-profit Little White Bus network is introducing a 16-seater bus to go through Barnard Castle, Richmond and Catterick. 

Voluntary driver John Blackie says he hopes the bus will help tackle loneliness for residents living in more isolated areas. Here's what he told BBC Radio York:

It's been a proud couple of days for Scarborough: after a massive fundraising campaign, the town has welcomed its new lifeboat.

The Frederick William Plaxton is a state-of-the-art "Shannon" class lifeboat which cost £2m and has a 25-knot cruising speed- twice as fast as the boat it replaces . 

Thousands of people turned out yesterday to watch it arrive at the new lifeboat station.

Take a look at this film of it wowing crowds with its training manoeuvres:

We've just heard that Burton Lane near Thornton Bridge is partially blocked and there are hazardous driving conditions and slow traffic near the Helperby Lane junction.

It's because of an accident involving a lorry, a van and a car.

Police are directing traffic in the area and say there's debris on the road and a fuel spillage.

Plans to help more people move back to their homes near a sinkhole in Ripon are being considered.

The sinkhole, which measures about 66ft by 33ft and is 30ft deep, appeared almost three weeks ago behind houses on Magdalen's Road leading to the evacuation of 12 homes.

No-one was injured but the properties were evacuated as a precaution and the sewerage system connected to several properties fell in to the ground.  

Yorkshire Water says it's now looking at putting in a temporary waste system until damaged sewers are repaired, and the company is in talks with residents.

There's a call for a North Yorkshire flood protection scheme to be rolled out nationwide.

A group which brings together business and politicians in a bid to help the environment says it could form part of a wider plan that rethinks how we deal with flooding.

The Green Alliance says a fund should be set up so natural protection schemes like one in Pickering, which uses so-called "leaky dams" to slow the flow of water off slopes, should be adopted elsewhere.

Work took place in the hills above Pickering (pictured) to slow the flow of the river and keep water in upstream catchments away from villages.  

According to the Environment Agency, the Pickering scheme slowed river peak flow by 15-20%, saving Pickering's museum and several homes.  

The Green Alliance is also calling for rewards for farmers who manage their land well and more regional decision-making to tackle local flooding hotspots.

York City manager Gary Mills says he'll keep working to strengthen the squad, after seeing them fall to just one point off the bottom of the National League at the weekend.

Saturday's 3-0 defeat at Bromley has put extra pressure on tomorrow's game at home to Guiseley.

The loss takes York's horrendous run to 16 without a win in all competitions.
