An artist has been commissioned to turn Drypool Bridge into a work of art in time for Hull's year as City of Culture.

Artist Sarah Daniels has created a brief inspired by the work of John Venn, the 19th century mathematician and philosopher, who was born in Hull’s Drypool ward.

It will reflect the city’s links with the internationally-renowned Venn Diagram.

A pair of newborn twins have been named after two players of a Wembley-bound rugby league club.

Ellis and Taylor Welburn were born at 05:20 BST in Barnsley Hospital after mum, Rachel Carr, was moved from Hull.

The boys were named after Gareth Ellis, captain of Hull FC, and fellow forward Scott Taylor.

The twin's father, Lee Wellburn, 31, from Hull, said he was delighted the boys had arrived to allow him to attend Saturday's cup final.

People in northern Lincolnshire say they do not want one mayor for Greater Lincolnshire.

Ten councils in the area from the Humber to the Wash will decide whether to combine to form one authority in the hope of then becoming more devolved from London.

But after a consultation local people said they didn't want a mayor. 

The Leader of Lincolnshire County Council Martin Hill says they'll now look at how plans can be adapted.

Hull City's start to the season, together with that of Middlesbrough and Burnley is the best made by promoted sides since the first season of the Premier League. 

Between them they've accumulated 13 points, with The Tigers winning their opening two games. 

Caretaker manager Mike Phelan hopes their results will help in his recruitment drive before the transfer window shuts. 

Hull City Council's cabinet has agreed to push through with plans to cut £2.2m from its budget.

It's part of £30m worth of service reductions which the authority says it has to make by 2020.

Opposing Liberal Democrats have described the move as "panic cuts" but Deputy Leader of the Council, Daren Hale says they have no choice:
