WHERE can you see Adele, Dusty Springfield and Olly Murs all perform on the same bill?

Cleethorpes, of course!

Three tribute acts will perform at a charity bash in aid of Artlandish.

The event, which takes place on Saturday, November 15, from 7.30pm, at the Beachomber, is being described as a tribute night featuring "acts through the ages".

And, Paul Hutchinson, who organised the night with his partner Sue Horner, has ambitious plans.

"We often do these nights and fundraisers but this time we thought we would do it a bit differently.

"There should be something for everyone and there's no reason why people of all ages can't enjoy it.

"I see no reason why we can't pull in 350, maybe 400 people. I've set a target of raising £2,000, which I think is definitely achievable. It's all for a good cause. All the money we make will go back into the local community and help under-privileged children express themselves."

Artlandish works with individuals, groups and communities in North East Lincolnshire and surrounding areas through art-related activities and projects in areas of social and economic deprivation.

They encourage participants – regardless of age, race, sexual orientation, ethnic origin or disability – to take pride in their lives, build self-esteem and self-confidence and discover self-expression through creative work.

Paul's son, James William Hutchinson, will be performing on the night as Olly Murs. The 25-year-old has just finished a European tour with his act, as well as recently releasing an album entitled Lay Your Love On Me.

He said: "I'm really looking forward to it. It will be great to come back and perform here.

"I've been doing this for about two-and-a-half years now and it's going really well. I always seem to be busy anyway, which must be a good sign."

Adele tribute Hollie Hockaday added: "I'm really excited. I've always known I wanted to sing so I definitely want to do more and more gigs – it's what I love.

"I used to sing just normal stuff but people always used to come up to me and say I look and sound exactly like her! It happened so often I just had to do something about it."

Julie Klug, who will delight fans with her Dusty Springfield tribute, said she can't wait to perform.

She said: "Any excuse to get the wig and frock on! But Dusty always goes down quite well and the fans love it. It always seems to get people off their feet and dancing, which is what it's all about."

Tickets, which are priced at £10, are available to buy from the No 1 pub in Cleethorpes or from the Beachomber itself.

POLICE and civilian officers will continue to give 100 per cent service to Humberside Police despite swinging cutbacks.

That was the view of union representatives who said there is no blame on Chief Constable Justine Curran nor Police And Crime Commissioner Matthew Grove for the job losses.

Harry Berry, branch secretary for Unison, which represents hundreds of civilian staff at Humberside Police, said consultations had already begun on job losses at Grimsby Police Station.

As reported, the control room based at the station will be shutdown and some staff transferred to a central control room in Hull.

Staff were written to last month inviting expressions of interest in voluntary redundancy as the Force's leadership aimed to make savings of £31 million by 2019 due to Central Government's austerity measures.

But many of the 500 or more job losses among police civilians in the Humberside Force are expected to come before April.

Around half of the 150 investigation officers in Humberside Police are due to be axed with the majority of those remaining being based in Hull in future. Some will remain in Grimsby Police Station.

Unison assistant branch secretary Tony Green said: "All of the functions appear to be going to the North Bank. There is a risk that all that knowledge of the local area will be lost.

"Staff are extremely upset and distressed. Morale is at rock bottom. But this is because of Central Government's total disregard for public service."

Mr Berry said: "The Police And Crime Commissioner and Chief Constable are having to do the best with what they are given. It is not their fault.

"We are going to have at least 500 jobs going, on top of the 300 we have already had. If this Government gets in again they have warned there will be a further £10 million more cuts on top of those we have already had."

He added: "It is looking like the Government is forcing the hand of our police forces and getting them to do more regional working and increased privatisation, which means an end to local accountability."

The Unison spokesman said: "We understand there had to be austerity measures. The police were always going to take a hit. But it is the scale and the fact the bulk of the cuts are coming in the first two years.

"Once these people are gone that is it.

"If funding became available again in the future you can't go and buy a box full of trained officers. You cannot buy experience.

"Are we really going to sacrifice all these people for the sake of cuts? No amount of modernisation with new tablet devices is going to replace 1,000 people.

"Police officers are already hard-pushed but they will be expected to back fill roles that are being lost. It does not seem right putting a bigger burden on police officers.

"Many of our members give 100 per cent, despite being fearful of their jobs and carry out extra roles as Special Constables

"It is not of the Force's making, it is Government."

GRIMSBY'S lost fishermen were remembered at an annual memorial service.

Around 100 people gathered at Grimsby Minster to show their gratitude for the sacrifices of those who died while helping to feed the nation.

Held yesterday afternoon, the Lost Fishermen's Memorial Service was followed by a wreath laying ceremony at the Fishermen's Memorial statue in St James' Square.

Organised by the Grimsby Fishermen's Mission, the service was conducted by the organisation's superintendent Tony Jewitt.

Those gathered prayed for the men who never returned from the sea, and there were performances by the Youth Voices Choir and the Grimsby Salvation Army Band.

Standard bearers from the Fishermen's Mission and the Merchant Navy took part in a procession into the church.

In his address, the Venerable Simon Golding CBE from the Fishermen's Mission Council spoke of the debt owed to those who go to sea to feed the nation in the most vulnerable and dangerous of occupations.

He described how in the space of two-and-a-half years during the 1880s, 169 fishermen were lost at sea.

He spoke of how the harsh working conditions had taken a particular toll on Grimsby's trawlermen, revealing that even in one year in the 1960s when none of them were lost at sea, their death rate was still twice as high as other fishermen in the UK, and four times higher than miners.

Mr Golding also provided a reminder that fishing remains a perilous occupation today, revealing that in 2013, there were 238 incidents affecting UK vessels in which 18 boats were lost and four people were killed.

Speaking after the service, Jane Hyldon-King, chairman of the Friends Of The Fishermen's Mission, said: "The service was really good. It's really important to remember our lost fishermen and also those that are still fishing today."

Adele Dempsey, 28, of the Willows estate, Grimsby, laid a wreath on behalf of the Fishermen's Mission.

She has volunteered with the organisation since losing her trawlerman husband William last year to a sudden illness aged 41.

She said: "My husband was a fisherman from when he was 16. He did say it was dangerous but he loved fishing.

"The mission supported me after he died and the work they do is so important."

The Youth Voices Choir, from North East Lincolnshire's Music And Performing Arts Service, sang The Grimsby Lads by local songwriter John Conolly.

Director Caroline Gooch said: "This is the fourth year we have been at the service and it is great opportunity for them to perform and learn about the heritage of the town."

GRIMSBY'S Freshney Place Shopping Centre has welcomed new and innovative female fashion store Lilliz Boutique, just in time for Christmas.

Opened last month, Lilliz can be found near to Quiz. The store prides itself on trend-led female fashion, showcasing celebrity inspired looks and designs at affordable prices.

The store follows on from an array of recent successful lettings at Freshney Place, including Socialites and soon to open - Office.

Amanda Austin, centre director at Freshney Place, said: "Lilliz Boutique is a great addition to our development plans for the centre, along with the new Office store opening on November 6."

"We are constantly committed to improving our retail mix and on behalf of all retailers at Freshney Place and the onsite team I would like wish Lilliz Boutique and recently opened Socialites every success in their new business ventures."

John Wilson, owner of Lilliz Boutique, added: "It has been really exciting opening a store at Freshney Place and we are extremely excited to partake in the fashion event in October.

"We look forward to developing the business and our presence in Grimsby and hope to be able to cater for fashionistas in the area."

A BLIND Grimsby man has been left devastated after cruel thieves made off with a metal dog run – essential to the health and wellbeing of his guide dog.

Father-of-two Peter Walton, who suffers from epilepsy and goes to the hospital each week for dialysis after his kidneys failed, has been left "stressed and confused" by the theft.

He said he is at a loss as to why thieves would steal the metal dog run from his garden, which is a vital piece of equipment for his loyal guide dog, Jeff.

The run designates the area Jeff uses to do his business, as guide dogs are trained to do this in a specific spot, making it easier for their owners to pick up after them.

Peter, who last year also battled sinus cancer, lives in supported accommodation at Matthew Quinn House, in Milton Road.

And he said he was close to an epileptic seizure after discovering the theft, which left poor Jeff confused about where to go.

Pete's sister, Kim Walton, who is also his carer, said: "Jeff needed the boundaries and he struggles to know where to go now.

"Having Jeff as his guide dog gave Peter a new lease of life and it's horrible that thieves could do this to the pair of them.

"The whole family is shocked and we just want it back. It made Peter's life just a bit easier and it's sad to think that thieves targeted a place known to house vulnerable people.

"It will cost a lot of money to replace and he's been really down since the theft – just despondent with society and in disbelief that it happened.

"Peter has been going through a lot lately and this has just added to it – he's heartbroken.

"He loves his dog and just wants it back so life can get back to normal."

Kim continued: "Sighted people can do almost anything and it's sickening that they did a thing like this."

A spokesman for Humberside Police said: "Between 4pm on Saturday, October 4, and noon on Sunday, October 5, a metal dog run was stolen from communal gardens at Matthew Quinn House, Milton Road, Grimsby.

"The local neighbourhood policing team conducted a reassurance visit with the victim."

If anyone has information about the whereabouts of the metal dog pen, or who may be responsible for the theft, they should contact Humberside Police on 101, quoting crime reference number 2072520.

WREXHAM enjoyed a pre-match party at the Racecourse – but the celebrations after the final whistle were all Grimsby Town's.

Saturday's Conference clash marked the Red Dragons' 150th anniversary, and boy did the Welsh support enjoy it, until the real action began.

A sell-out crowd of more than 8,000 packed into the ground as fireworks, male voice choirs and clowns on stilts kept them entertained as the rain poured down.

However, the home support's enthusiasm soon drained away as the Mariners completely dominated the first-half action.

In fact, Lenell John-Lewis' 28th minute spot-kick was the least the visitors deserved after enjoying 67 per cent possession in the opening 45 minutes.

Predictably, the Dragons came roaring back after the break, but Town defended resolutely and were full value for their victory on a huge afternoon for manager Paul Hurst and his squad.

"It was a big day for Wrexham – they had all their celebrations and rightly so," said Hurst.

"But both teams were there to play a game of league football and I thought we handled the occasion extremely well – with the exception of giving a corner away in the first ten seconds.

"We calmed the crowd down early on, played some good football, got on the ball, passed it quite well and certainly looked a threat.

"Sometimes in the past while I've been manager here, this team has been accused of not performing in front of big crowds – albeit more at home.

"But it's another fantastic result to add to our away record so far. It was resilient with some good blocks and not many saves for James McKeown to make.

"Overall, a clean sheet at Wrexham is a really good effort."

Toto Nsiala returned from suspension to regain his place at centre-half, with Danny Parslow moving into a midfield holding role.

Elsewhere, John-Lewis again led the line, supported by Scott Neilson and Jack Mackreth.

For the hosts, former Mariner Connor Jennings began on the bench, while summer target Wes York was in the Dragons' XI.

Spurred on by their vociferous support, the home side were immediately on the attack, forcing successive corners, which both needed punching away by Town stopper McKeown.

York's back-heel then gave striker Louis Moult time to fire off a shot on the edge of the visitors' box, which flew straight at McKeown.

Moments later, the Mariners broke with Neilson feeding Mackreth in the box before the winger sliced wide when he should have made home keeper Andy Coughlin work.

That gave Hurst's men some encouragement, and the manager's new-look formation began to enjoy sustained possession in their hosts' half.

Scott Brown exchanged passes with Craig Clay before dragging a 20-yarder wide, and even after losing the latter to injury, Town continued to look bright.

Andy Bishop headed well wide for Wrexham, but that was an anomaly as Neilson surged up the other end and saw a powerful shot deflected wide before Brown bent a free-kick over the bar.

Even right-back Carl Magnay was getting in on the act – testing Coughlin with a skidding cross-shot off the wet surface in the 25th minute.

The home faithful thought they had scored when Dean Keates' free-kick slid past the post. But Town were straight back up the other end - and in front - before the half hour mark.

Picking up the ball on the edge of the home box, Neilson shaped to shoot before playing in Thomas with a clever reverse pass.

The full-back was on the 'wrong' side of Mark Carrington, and the Wrexham man could only bundle him over, giving referee Brett Huxtable a simple penalty decision.

John-Lewis stepped up, but would he go the same away as the previous weekend's powerful, top corner spot-kick at Dartford?

No was the answer, as the frontman placed his shot low into the bottom left corner, out of Coughlin's reach, to give Town a previous advantage.

The Mariners continued to win virtually everything in midfield, playing the majority of the game in the hosts' half.

So confused were the Welshmen by Town's dominance that home boss Kevin Wilkin took advantage of a stoppage in play to call his entire side over to the dugout for emergency instructions.

That provided his men with some impetus before the break as veteran Keates clubbed another free-kick too high after Shaun Pearson's trip on Joe Clarke inches from the Town box.

Manny Smith nodded another set-piece wide as Wrexham's improvement continued, but that was to be the final action of a gripping first half.

The rain continued to pelt down when the second period kicked-off, and the home support were screaming unsuccessfully for a penalty of their own after 52 minutes when Keates collapsed under Nsiala's challenge.

Neilson carved a shot wide from 25 yards as Town responded, before home substitute Elliott Durrell saw his effort deflected wide as the Dragons ramped up the pressure.

McKeown grabbed York's low shot moments before Hurst made his second change of the afternoon – sending on Nathan Arnold for Neilson.

The hosts were controlling the game, with Durrell's cross landing on top of McKeown's goal before they were again appealing for a penalty when York went down far too easily after bumping into Nsiala.

Amazingly, there were more penalty calls when McKeown dropped a high cross under pressure from York, before hauling the winger down just outside the box. Huxtable gave a free-kick, much to York's disgust, and the keeper escaped with only a caution.

Jennings entered the action, but seconds later the hosts were down to ten men as Moult lunged in on Disley and was punished with a straight red card.

It was a break for the Mariners who had been under the cosh for most of the half.

Still the home side came, with Jennings planting a right-footer wide before seeing another powerful effort blocked in the final minute of the 90.

Unlike Richard Brodie recently, this former Mariners loanee wouldn't return to haunt Town, as the visitors held on and – perhaps – finally kick-started a frustrating campaign.

A STORE in Grimsby's West Marsh could have its licence revoked after allegations that the owner sold cigarettes and alcohol to under 18s from private living quarters.

Paramjit Bassi, of Sanco Traders, in Macaulay Street, is due before a North East Lincolnshire Council Licensing Sub-Committee hearing later this month with Humberside Police seeking either the revocation of the premise's licence or the removal of Ms Bassi as designated premises supervisor.

Public papers released ahead of the hearing said the review was being held following a meeting between police and Ms Bassi in July – with changes having apparently not been implemented.

According to the papers, during an interview with police, Ms Bassi was shown CCTV footage in which she identified two people by name and confirmed them as being under 18. The footage showed separate sales to the two people of cigarettes and alcohol, and alcohol only.

Police said Ms Bassi was in the process of being given cautions with conditions for selling twice to underage persons.

A letter sent to the owner by police said: "These complaints primarily relate to cigarettes and alcohol being sold to minors that you, allegedly, know to be underage. These sales are not made on the shop floor, but allegedly in the private living quarters of the premises."

The letter added that police have had complaints from parents of children claiming to have bought single cigarettes.

The letter said: "It has also been claimed that you give credit to underage children and once the child has failed to pay the debt you make contact with the parents demanding payment of any debts that the child has accumulated."

Police also allege that children are allowed to surf the internet from behind the main counter, though Ms Bassi apparently told officers she wanted to help disadvantaged local children to become "better citizens by way of engagement".

A comprehensive review of the procedures was called for in July which included:

A shop closure at 8pm (which Ms Bassi has implemented on a voluntary basis).

Home Office approved CCTV.

No credit under any circumstances and signage stating so.

A Challenge 25 refusal policy.

No sales of alcohol or cigarettes once the premises have closed after 8pm.

The recommendations have been deemed by police not to have been carried out, hence the licensing review being carried out.

The Grimsby Telegraph was unable to reach the store for a comment.

A NEW 40mph speed limit comes into force on a section of Grimsby's Peaks Parkway today.

As previously reported, the limit is being increased from 30mph in the section between the traffic lights at B&Q to the 50mph zone south of the Weelsby Road junction.

Councillors voted to approve the increase at a meeting of the full council last month.

Since then, a Traffic Regulation Order had to be advertised in order to make the new speed limit lawful.

New speed limit signs have had to be ordered and positioned in accordance with the regulations associated with the 40mph limit.

The average speed cameras also needed to be repositioned and recalibrated as well as changes made to some back office data processing functions.

Improvements to the road markings and signage at the key junctions are also being considered.

The decision by full council to put up the speed limit to 40mph came after more than 2,000 people signed a petition calling for the increase.

A working group was set up earlier this year in response to the petition and the matter thoroughly investigated after several years of debate.

Council leader Chris Shaw said the new speed limit had been introduced as quickly as it could be once full council had made its decision.

He added: "Increasing the speed limit is the right decision. Not only does it satisfy the needs of local people, it also answers the needs of businesses and visitors to Grimsby and the wider borough.

"Now the new speed limit is coming into force, motorists need to drive accordingly."

A FAMILY pet from Grimsby is one of the lucky few chosen to take part in a national ten-day taste challenge.

Three-year-old Labrador-Staffy cross Star is one of 100 dogs from across the UK to be selected for the exclusive food Taste Challenge hosted by Butcher's Pet Care.

The 100 lucky participants began the ten-day taste challenge on October 6, when their owners were provided with a supply of meals from Butcher's, made with real meat, no artificial flavourings and natural ingredients.

The owners will then be asked to share online how their dog reacts to tasting the dinners.

Owner Suzanne Lea said: "When I saw this opportunity, I thought it would be great to register Star and I'm delighted we have been chosen to take part in the ten-day taste challenge.

Like most dogs, mealtimes are one of the most anticipated parts of the day and it will be interesting to see how they react to the new meaty meals on offer."

Suzanne who has another dog, called Tasha, entered the competition on Facebook and was pleased when she heard the news that Star had won.

She added: "Star is such a friendly dog and it's nice she has the opportunity to give the taste test a go."

The family took in Star after Suzanne's eldest son found her in a garden on a rainy November morning when she was just five months old.

"The owners didn't really want her," said Suzanne. "So we took her in.

"We originally intended to rehome her but we fell in love and she's still here – she's devoted to my son Luke and sleeps on his bed every night."

Clare Scallon, from Butcher's Pet Care, added: "We decided to launch a ten day taste challenge to encourage owners to swap their pet's meals to see how happy it makes them.

"I'd like to congratulate each dog for winning one of the coveted places. We are looking forward to hearing about their experience.

"We are encouraging dog owners to serve Butcher's for ten days – we guarantee an empty bowl and a wagging tail at the end of each meaty meal."

"COME and join us for bowling if you want some proper fun."

That was the invitation to vandals who have caused thousands of pounds worth of damage to a popular Grimsby bowls club.

The Viking Bowls Club left their previous home at Sussex Recreation ground, in Cleethorpes, last year because of continual vandalism.

But now their new home at Barratt's Recreation club in Grimsby has also been plagued by mindless vandals – and the timing could not be worse.

The club is about to take over the running of the bowling green as North East Lincolnshire Council seeks to sell off some of its leisure assets.

As reported, among the facilities up for sale are libraries, beach chalets, The Fitties, surplus buildings and bowling greens.

Club secretary Dave Jarratt said: "It has been going on for months. It has cost us thousands to do repairs and keep the area safe. But they keep coming back.

"There is a risk to the young people if they keep climbing on to our roof as the fence below is spiked."

He added: "We do not mind them playing but we object to all the vandalism they cause."

Treasurer David Bateman said: "We would like them to come and join us for bowling.

"The council put up new guttering but that was smashed off the same night.

"That is costing council tax payers money, so indirectly it is costing their parents money – but I doubt any of the mums or dads know what their children are up to.

"It has been all season. It is all wilful destruction."

Since news of the sale, members of The Viking Bowls Club have been spending their free time trying to get their club facilities up to a high standard and have redecorated the clubhouse, improved security and tended to the greens.

But now members have asked for barbed wire to be erected around their clubhouse, to try to prevent further damage being caused to the border fences on the greens by youths on bikes and skateboards.

Cyclists and skateboarders have also used the club's green to practice their stunts and youths have been seen kicking off wooden fences.

And, instead of using neighbouring grassed playing fields – which were formerly grass tennis courts – footballers have been playing on one of the bowling greens, leaving the surface pitted and with areas bare of grass.

The two club representatives highlighted two large holes in the fence bordering the path to Oasis Academy Wintringham.

Mr Jarratt said: "Whenever the police are called the youths run off and get through the holes in the fence.

"We have asked the council to help us but, up to now, nothing has happened.

"It is hard work looking after the greens and it is heartbreaking to see all the damage."

The secretary said: "The club provides a wonderful social life as well as fitness. They are always telling us oldies to get out and get some exercise."

A Neighbourhood Watch volunteer locks the gates each night, the bowls club representatives said.

SHAUN Pearson's booking and Craig Clay's injury were the two big negatives to come out of Grimsby Town's fine weekend win.

Pearson's fifth yellow card of the season – for a trip on Wrexham's Joe Clarke – signals an automatic one-match suspension for the centre-half.

That will see him sit out this Saturday's clash at Torquay United, where he could be joined in the stands by Clay.

The midfielder limped out of the action at the Racecourse Stadium after only 20 minutes, but his injury has left Town boss Paul Hurst perplexed.

"Craig's injury is strange one," said Hurst. "With the challenge, from where I was stood I thought he was kicked in the chest and it was a case of him being winded.

"He got up and there was clearly something, which looked like his ankle, but he came off and said it was his leg.

"He's just got a strange feeling in it and couldn't really move it properly.

"I wanted to be patient with it, but it got to the point where the change had to be made.

"He was limping around after the game, so fingers-crossed it's not too serious.

"It's a hard one to try to diagnose because he's just got some pain there, but there's no obvious swelling."

On Pearson's booking, the manager added: "It was a foul he had to commit in truth. Aswad Thomas had let Clarke cut inside him a bit too easily and he was driving towards the box.

"So I can't fault Shaun for that, but obviously I would have liked him in the defensive line-up at Torquay for another tough away game. I'll obviously have to reshuffle for next Saturday."

However, the defender will be available for tomorrow evening's Lincolnshire Cup Final at Blundell Park, when Lincoln City are the visitors.

PAUL Hurst wants his Grimsby Town squad to keep "proving people wrong" following Saturday's superb victory at Wrexham.

After last week's pressure on Hurst prompted John Fenty to come out in support of his manager, the weekend win in North Wales was just what the doctor – or director – ordered.

Lenell John-Lewis' first-half penalty gave Town another fantastic result on the road, moving them to within four points of the play-off places.

While Hurst admits there is still plenty of work to do, he believes his side took a big step forward at the Racecourse Stadium, in front of almost 8,000 passionate home fans.

"There's obviously been some press and so on, but for me it's more about the players and getting some reward for some of their performances," he said.

"While we're not top of the league and still far from it, for me we've only been outplayed in 45 minutes of football this season (against Torquay).

"The difference is trying to convert that into results and three points.

"Saturday's result just emphasises what I keep saying – there's a good squad, a good spirit, and we'll keep battling away.

"If it's in adversity to try to prove people wrong then that's what we'll have to do."

Craig Clay limped off on Saturday and Shaun Pearson earned a one-match suspension with his fifth booking of the campaign.

However, Aswad Thomas and Nathan Arnold both continued their comebacks, and striker Jon-Paul Pittman is back in training today.

Hurst continued: "Look at how many points we've accrued and what teams above us have accrued, and some of those have had massive plaudits about how well they've started the season.

"Yet, they're certainly within striking distance for us.

"I'm sure there will be a period when we string a better set of results together, and I look forward to that.

"We're getting one or two players back as well. It's another 90 minutes under Aswad's belt, Nathan also came back in and JP is due to begin training today. So suddenly the picture looks a lot brighter in terms of our numbers."

The leisure complex at Kenwick Park near Louth has been destroyed by fire.

All 100 guests at the neighbouring hotel were also evacuated when the fire broke out at shortly before 3am.

Fifty firefighters from stations throughout Lincolnshire tackled the severe blaze, which swept through the leisure complex.

Owner Stuart Flynn told the Grimsby Telegraph of his devastation and shock.

He also said the centre was due to celebrate its 20th anniversary on December 30 this year.

He said: "It has been my life since 1990, it is devastating. It was a beautiful building that gave a lot of pleasure to a lot of people."

The owner added the venue was properly insured.

The leisure centre contained a swimming pool, salon and a gym.

Deputy divisional commander at Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Steve Moore said he expected crews to be at the site for most of the day.

There were a total of eight appliances used at the height of the fire.

Mr Moore said: "It was disastrous. It was through the roof."

Owner Mr Flynn added: "There was no risk to life at any stage. Everyone met in the hotel foyer and everything was handled properly."

Parents are now being warned their children should not take days off school for illnesses like tonsilitis or glandular fever.

New 'zero days off' guidelines have been issued to parents in South Wales saying conjunctivitis, head lice and threadworm shouldn't keep their children school.

The new guidance says they shouldn't have more than four days away for measles. 

Children with chicken pox, whooping cough and mumps should get no more than five days off school.

The guidelines have been developed by a group of five local councils in the area, saying families should get advice from NHS Direct or their GP before keeping a child off school.
