The formal signing of the Humber Growth Deal 2015 takes place in Grimsby today. The event marks the further award of almost ten million pounds from the Government to develop ten major projects on both banks of the Humber. This, along with major local investment will see just under £47 million of capital injection into the area.

The Minister for Universities and Science, the Rt Hon Greg Clark MP, will be joined by Lord Haskins, chair of the Humber Local Enterprise Partnership, and leaders of the four Humber local authorities.

A lucky couple from Hull are celebrating after scooping almost £7m in Saturday's Lotto Double Rollover Jackpot Prize. They will be revealing who they are - and just how their new found wealth is set to change their lives for the better at a press conference later.

To give the win some context, it is one of the biggest in the East Yorkshire area since the following:

· 1998 - £7.5m – Roy Gibney, Grimsby

· 1998 – £14m – Jacquie King, Grimsby

· 2005 - £18.2m – Tesco syndicate, Driffield

Twenty-five new banners have been unveiled as a warning to litter bugs in Grantham as the town looks to tackle its million pound waste problem.

South Kesteven District Council says it costs £1.1 million every year to clear up the town's streets and is asking residents to think twice before dropping litter or fly tipping.

The banners have been draped on lamp posts across the town, saying "‘LoveGrantham, hate litter" or "Love Grantham hate fly-tipping".

The campaign is being backed up by the council’s Environmental Health team, who gave their latest £75 on the spot litter fine within metres of one of the banners on 6 February.

120 jobs are set to go from York Council as it earmarks cuts of almost £12million over the next year. People in the city are likely to see their council tax bills frozen, but senior officials say the authority's budget will need to be reduced by almost 10%. The council will be meeting later today to approve the measures.

Council tax payers in Lincolnshire will soon be paying more to safeguard policing levels in the county. A recommendation by the Police and Crime Commissioner Alan Hardwick for a 1.95% increase in the police precept was accepted by the county's Police and Crime panel earlier which voted unanimously for the increase. It means on average residents will pay around seven pence a week more. Mr Hardwick says the money will guarantee the number of police officers and PCSO's can be kept at current levels.

A total of £75,000 in funding has been made available to event organisers in Lincoln to help get more people to visit the city.

The money is a key aspect of the Arts Council England-funded Cultural Destinations Project in Lincoln.

From today, events organisers in the city can apply for up to £10,000 of the money, provided that amount is not more than 20 per cent of their overall budget.

Visit Lincoln Partnership Manager Emma Tatlow said the aim is to attract new audiences from a wider catchment area and raise Lincoln's profile as a great cultural destination.

Campaigners in Lincoln are to march this weekend in protest to cuts which could be made to fire services in the county.

The Defend Our Fire Services march will start at St Martin's Square at the top of the High Street on Saturday 31 January from 11.30am.

The Fire Brigade Union in Lincolnshire have praised the campaign saying it shows the strength of community support for the fire service:

The chief fire officer for Lincolnshire has argued that the proposals will enable the service to save money without reducing the service:
