English Heritage is embarking on a project to find out how much of the Humber’s industrial heritage is at risk of neglect, decay or even demolition and to raise the debate about what needs saving and how.

It will reveal the results of its Industrial Heritage at Risk research, including what the public think, in October this year at the launch of the annual English Heritage Heritage at Risk Register.

Neil Redfern, Planning Team Leader with English Heritage, said:

New byelaws covering seashores and promenades in the East Riding have now come into effect.

The byelaws have been put in place to help everyone enjoying the East Riding’s coastline have the best visit possible.

They encourage consideration for others and are designed to ensure that people taking part in various activities can have the best time possible while at the coast.

A controversial campaign that featured a toddler blinded by dog fouling has been hailed a success today.

96 councils across the country backed the hard-hitting campaign that reminded lazy dog owners that ‘there is no such thing as the dog poo fairy’.

Keep Britain Tidy identified that dog fouling was a major problem after research showed that 70% of local authorities had a problem with dog mess in their area.

The findings also revealed that four out of five people didn’t know that dog bags can be thrown in any bin.
