A five-time British Olympian has agreed to become a patron of a charity that helps get parents in East Yorkshire active.

BBC

Distance runner Jo Pavey has got involved with Fit Mums which, despite it's name, is also for dads and grandparents as well.

She said: "It's just such a brilliant thing, they encourage people of all abilities to be active, I was so inspired by their enthusiasm, their friendliness and the camaraderie in the organisation."

A glass panelled concrete wall will be built along Hessle Foreshore despite residents saying it's a "waste of money".

East Riding of Yorkshire Council

East Riding councillors unanimously voted in favour of the £11m flood defence scheme yesterday, despite objections from residents.

They are concerned it will "ruin the view" and say the authority should be protecting homes elsewhere.

Under the plans, a 1.5 metre wall will run along Cliff Road.

It will help protect more than 4,000 homes from flooding during the next 50 years, as well as key routes into Hull such as the railway and the A63.

Several residents living in Cliff Road, who did not want to be named, said the council would be better off spending the money elsewhere.

A chilly start, perhaps with one or two patches of mist or fog.

These will disperse though to leave plenty of blue sky and sunshine.

Very mild. Highs of 14C (57F).

Motorists are being warned about speeding in part of Beverley after several grazing cows were killed or seriously injured.

Geograph/Peter Church

An MP has told drivers to watch their speed on The Westwood, where there is "open grazing land for cattle, completely unfenced, so cattle can wander at will, including over the roads".

Graham Stuart, the Conservative MP for Beverley and Holderness, issued the warning after hearing concerns from the Pasture Masters, who look after the site where a number of cows have been killed "over the years".

Geograph/Andy Beecroft

Mr Stuart said: "Very sadly, a number of cattle have been killed or seriously injured as a result of being hit by cars and, potentially, car drivers and passengers are at risk of injury or even death if they are involved in a collision with cattle."

The Pasture Masters plan to ask the local council to reduce the speed limit in the area from 40mph to 30mph.

A group of children, some as young as 12-years-old, have smashed windows on two buses in an East Yorkshire village.

BBC

The boys, believed to be 12 or 13 and dressed in black clothing, damaged the vehicles as they passed along Ark Royal in Bilton last night.

Humberside Police are looking for four or five boys, who targeted buses at about 19:30 and again at 20:00 before fleeing the scene.

Ch Insp Paul Butler: "If this group think it’s a game to throw stones and other things at buses or any moving vehicle then they’ve got it wrong."

Plans for a glass and concrete flood wall near the Humber Bridge are expected to be approved later.

Police officers across the Yorkshire region say they're tired, over-worked and struggling to cope with demand.

PA

Thousands have told a survey by the Police Federation there simply aren't enough of them to do the job properly.

The federation also says officers and the public are being exposed to "increased risk" as more frontline officers are forced to work alone.

Officer numbers have fallen since 2010, but the government says it's spending millions of pounds recruiting more staff.

James Brokenshire MP said: "We are prepared to begin discussions about a different, localist approach to devolution in Yorkshire.

"We know there is local appetite for other devolution elsewhere in Yorkshire, with representations having been made previously by the Leeds City Region, York and North Yorkshire and the Humber Estuary."

Labour MP for Hull North Diana Johnson described the decision as "one size fits all as determined by Whitehall".

Police say security marking, along with the use of bike locks around the frame and both wheels, reduces the risk of theft.

Workers at an East Yorkshire factory which makes a dairy ingredient for milk chocolate are to go on strike again this month.

BBC

Employees at Meadow Foods, in Holme-on-Spalding-Moor, have already taken industrial action in January.

The previous strike was in response to a "shoddy pay offer" of 2% which the Unite union said was below the cost of living.

Meadow Foods, which makes chocolate crumb, says it's "disappointed" workers are going on strike.

In a statement, the company said: "Meadow Foods has no history of industrial action and for more than 10 years has paid increases well above inflation and competitors.

"Our door remains open for constructive negotiations."

Demolition work is due to start later this week to make way for the major £130m redevelopment in Hull.

A report has found East Riding Council could have done more to protect a toddler from suffering life-long injuries at the hands of his mother's violent partner.

BBC

The little boy's father called on the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman to investigate the case.

It found the council had missed opportunities to protect him.

Assistant ombudsman Sharon Chappel said: "This sad case highlights the need for councils to follow the basic principles of child protection when dealing with welfare concerns."

The mother had claimed she would end her relationship with her partner and her children would go to stay with their paternal grandmother for a time, but social workers did not check if this had happened.

She was subsequently convicted of failing to protect the boy from harm.

He partner was convicted of causing the boy serious injuries by shaking and is serving a lengthy prison sentence.

The local authority says it accepts in full the investigation's conclusions relating to the incident five years ago and that an apology has been given to the family.
