    East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire

    A 30-year-old Hull man who was identified via social media yesterday and arrested early this morning has now been interviewed and has been released from police custody with no further action.

    It appears the incident which was originally reported to the police as an attempted accosting was actually a misunderstanding.

    Young people from the Goole area are being encouraged to take up kayaking.

    Sport England is providing more than £8,500 to run indoor and outdoor kayaking sessions, which will be run by qualified trainers. 

    It's hoped it will build interest in kayaking and canoeing in the Goole area ready for the opening of Britain's longest canoeing trail, from Liverpool to Goole, in 2020.

  12. Wressle Oil: What do villagers think?

    James Piekos

    Reporter, BBC Hull and East Yorkshire

    Earlier we told you about plans for an oil well in Wressle.  

    Egdon Resources - who are behind the plans - say there will be little impact to the area as the oil production well  will only be about the size of a football pitch - and there will be one or two lorries a day leaving the site. 

    They also say that although it would only generate a couple of jobs working on the site when it was operational - the company would be paying business rates and will be contributing to the local economy and will try to use local contractors and source materials locally where they can.

    We've been speaking to people in Brigg to see whether they knew there was oil in North Lincolnshire.

  13. Hornsea windfarm plans go on show

    Jen Bateman

    BBC East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire

    The Hornsea One Project which goes on display in Waltham today and Stallingborough tomorrow is huge.

    The windfarm will span an area over five-times the size of the city of Hull. 

    The offshore wind farm will use wind turbines which are 190m tall - larger than the Gherkin building in London.

    It's the reason Dong has invested in Grimsby along with two other windfarms. 

    North East Lincolnshire council chief executive Rob Walsh says they now need to work with colleges and trainers to get local people the jobs needed.
