BEVERLEY: A disability campaigner was allowed to sit in on East Riding Council's AGM to help in his battle for better wheelchair access in Beverley.
Roger Cobbett could not go in the public gallery because it has no wheelchair access.
Instead, his chair was allowed on the floor of the chamber itself.
The former businessman from North Cave was able to lobby councillors. He launched his campaign after being left disabled by a stroke and finding few Beverley shops were disabled-friendly.
Businesses wanting to be on the Beverley accessibility map should call Mr Cobbett on 01430 470770.
GOOLE: Police are looking for this man in connection with approaches made to two women in the town.
The first happened on Wednesday, May 18, between 9.35pm and 9.50pm. A 17-year-old girl was walking along Swinefleet Road, when a man on a silver women's bike started riding closely next to her.
A 47-year-old woman was then grabbed from behind in Edinburgh Street on Sunday, May 22 at 1am. The victim was forced into an alleyway from Kingsway to Limetree Avenue, where she kicked out at him and managed to escape.
