A man who had more than a thousand pounds wrongly taken from his bank account by an energy company has begun a campaign to demand a better level of customer service.
Ian Dewer, from Middleton on the Wolds, near Driffield, says he now checks his bank account every day to make sure npower doesn't take any more cash.
After residents in Driffield say they have had to move out of their homes due to flood water, there is criticism of the actions of local authorities to help. We have spoken to local resident Simon Record and David Tite, the Driffield Show Director.
Work starts on new water pipeline under River Hull
Work is starting on a new water pipeline which will make it easier for Yorkshire Water to manage its supplies in East Yorkshire. The complex engineering project will see a 230 metre long pipeline installed, crossing the River Hull near Driffield, the first pipe to do so since 1959.
The new pipe will add to the company's £300m underground grid of water pipes which was used earlier this year to move up to 200 million litres of treated drinking water a day from North Yorkshire to the drought stricken east of the region, where groundwater stores were unusually low.
Engineers will start by digging a 230 metre long tunnel which will be eight metres below the surface at its deepest point to ensure it is safely protected well below the River Humber. Specialist equipment will then fit the plastic pipe inside before the tunnel is filled in by the end of December.
Each year we replace and add to our underground network with miles and miles of new pipe, but the fact that we're tunnelling under a huge river makes this project quite exceptional, as does the fact that much of the work is taking place in our nature reserve. Obviously we'll be making sure our work doesn't disturb the local wildlife, such as otters and water voles in any way and once completed this pipe will help to give us even greater flexibility in terms of how we move water around our underground grid.
A man has died and another is in hospital with serious injuries following a road traffic collision on the A614 at Ruston Parva near Driffield. Two vehicles were involved in the head on collision which happened later yesterday afternoon.
Police are investigating the collision to establish the circumstances and are seeking witnesses to the incident.
A row has broken out over proposals to build a 70 metre tall wind turbine in the tiny village of Rudston near Driffield. Campaigners say it will ruin the ancient landscape surrounding it, which has remained untouched for centuries.
