SOCIAL media users are being urged to smear lipstick across their cheeks and post selfies of the results on social media as part of a cervical cancer awareness campaign.

The SmearForSmear drive is being launched by charity Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust as figures show that more than a million women failed to take up the offer of a smear test in 2013-14.

Those who share their lipstick smeared selfies on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram should then nominate one or more friends to do the same.

Robert Music, chief executive of the Trust, said: "Every day we see the devastating impact a cervical cancer diagnosis can have on both a woman and her loved ones.

"But to know that, for those that delayed their screening before diagnosis, this could have been prevented is tragic. It's now time that we see an upward shift in awareness of cervical cancer and an understanding of the importance of smear tests."

Data released last year showed that the uptake of smear tests is lowest among younger women.

Although screening coverage for women aged 25 to 29 had increased to 63.3% on March 31 last year from 62% in 2013, it was still "considerably lower" than in any other age group.

A YOUNG mum was handed a note by a stranger on a train who told her she was a 'credit to her generation'.

Sammie Welch, aged 23, was travelling from Birmingham to Plymouth at about 7pm on Thursday with her three-year-old son Rylan.

As one of her fellow passengers was leaving the train at Bristol, he handed Sammie a piece of paper and said: "I think this fell out of your bag."

"I just said 'Thank you'," Sammie told The Plymouth Herald. "He got off and I when read the first line I couldn't believe it."

The note, scribbled on a piece of scrap paper and left with a £5 note, reads: "Have a drink on me, you're a credit to your generation; polite and teaching the little boy good manners.

"PS I have a daughter your age, someone did the same for her once. Hope when she has children she is as good a mother as you.

"Have a lovely evening."

"I couldn't believe it," Sammie said. "I must have read it about 100 times.

"He just passed it to me, I didn't really turn around to see him."

IT technician Sammie, said she doesn't quite know why she was singled out for praise.

"The train was quite busy, quite a few people got on and I offered to put my son on my lap," she said.

"Three people said no but then one guy sat down. I just thought 'I'm not going to have him standing'."

ENGINEERS are under starters orders for the construction of a £110 million new road through Killingholme.

Villagers have had mixed responses to the long-awaited development but said it will ease the plight of some residents.

Hailed as a superhighway to boost jobs and investment at Immingham Docks and the planned new marine energy dock development by Able UK at Killingholme, the work is scheduled to start at the end of April.

It is due to be completed by the autumn of next year.

A series of public meetings will be held to keep residents informed.

It will see a three-mile stretch dualled, improving links to and from the Port of Immingham, Humber Sea Terminal, the planned Able Marine Energy Park and the two South Bank oil refineries, and the rest of the UK.

The Brocklesby interchange will have an oval two-bridge roundabout layout, including a dedicated left-turn lane for vehicles travelling from the eastbound A180 to the A160.

Habrough roundabout will be relocated to the west of its current position.

A new road bridge at Town Street will provide vehicle and pedestrian access between the two parts of South Killingholme.

Costain Ltd, the Berkshire-based engineering solutions giant, has been awarded the contract, an agreement which allows supplier engagement at a preparatory stage, in order to draw in industry experience at the design element.

The firm's bosses have begun their recruitment drive for when work starts this spring.

Highways agency officials will stage a series of public meetings.

The first, which is by invitation only, will be held on Thursday, February 26, from 1pm.

The following day Killingholme Community Centre , in Moat Lane, will host a public exhibition from 9.30am to 8pm to show off the plans and speak to residents.

There will be a repeat of the exhibition the following day.

Peter Hasnip, managing director of Jordan and Co (Hull) Ltd which runs Ulceby truck stop, said: "Highways officials have said the facility will stay open throughout the roadworks at all times.

"It is a good move and will create better access for everyone and make it safer."

Chairman of the South Killingholme parish council Councillor Di Evans said: "The new road will make the traffic flow faster. We are not happy with it but it is progress and has to be done, we are told.

"The benefit will be felt most by people on Top Road where the trucks have been making life misery for years.

"With the new road there will be a bypass for that end of the village and the lorries that have been using Top Road illegally – because there is supposed to be weight restriction – will now be on this new road.

"It will go directly to the industrial estate and on to the docks."

Former driving instructor and Top Road resident Joseph McCue, 68, said he could not wait for the new road to be built.

He said: "I am all in favour of it because of the problem with the heavy traffic. They have been driving along here illegally because it is a 7.5 tonne limit. But you see them all day coming from the docks, because it is a shortcut and avoids the traffic lights on the A160.

"It is difficult getting out of our driveway and the noise and vibrations start from about 5am. We have had 13 years of it, so I am all in favour of the new road. A bypass will be most welcome."

Neighbour Fred Coxon was also pleased to see work starting in the spring.

He said: "Every time a lorry goes by, the house is shaken to its foundations. There is supposed to be a limit but it is never enforced.

"When the lorries come off the ferries, it is like a racetrack. But the speed limit is never enforced.

"They are meant to come out at Rosper Road, but this is used as a shortcut."

Sonya Lee, of Top Road, said: "You get woken up by lorries doing 60mph some days. It shakes your house. And it is all through the night. It is a worry when you have kids wanting to play outside."

Her mum Karen, 53, who has lived in the street for 30 years, said: "In the future it is going to put the value of the house up. They are well-built homes. With a new road it is going to be more peaceful with less pollution and the parking situation is going to get better.

"I am sorry about the impact it will have on the shop next door, but it will benefit me."

Top Road shop owner Pamela Crofts – who has run the business for more than ten years – said the road will sound the death knell for her shop, which has been trading for more than 100 years.

She said: "We rely upon passing trade. Once it is open we will have no more drivers stopping to get their snacks, or their papers or cigarettes.

"No one is going to make a detour to come to us. We may be able to survive a while. The officials from highways said we would have to remain open a year after the road opens to be eligible for some compensation – possibly – but when there is no passing trade I doubt we can survive that long. I am sorry but what can you do?"

A Highways Agency spokesperson said: "The access to the Port of Immingham and the surrounding area needs to be improved for the benefit of those using the route every day, and for the many businesses which depend on the port to move goods in and out of the country.

"The current route of the A160 suffers congestion, particularly in the morning and afternoon peak hours, and this is often further exacerbated by the unloading of freight ferries from the Port of Immingham.

"The scheme will reduce traffic congestion, improve journey time reliability and improve safety for road users and the local community.

"The improvements also seek to meet the needs of traffic growth resulting from existing and future developments."

SPEED junkie Guy Martin will swap the garages of Grimsby for an Indian adventure in his latest documentary.

The Grimsby-born motorcycle racer and TV personality will star in Channel 4's upcoming two-part documentary Our Guy In India.

The show will see Guy embark on a 1,000 mile trip across India to compete in a race called Rider Mania – the world's largest gathering of Royal Enfield motorbikes.

Other scenes show Guy riding alongside a 50-strong biker gang, visit Asia's biggest junk yard and climb to the top of India's tallest building, the 833ft Imperial skyscraper in Mumbai.

Guy also braves the elements in the show by experiencing the true force of a monsoon, as well as sleeping rough with rats for company.

A spokesperson for Channel 4 said the show will see the sideburned star "completely out of his comfort zone".

They said: "Guy Martin has a love for adventure and they don't come much bigger than an epic 1,000 mile trip across India, culminating in one of the world's maddest bike races.

"'Rider Mania' is the largest gathering of Royal Enfield motorbikes on the planet. Guy wants to ride there and win it at the end of his two-week trip.

"Along the way, Guy with his love of tea, lorry repair, motorbikes and daredevil risk taking, introduces us to a side of modern India rarely seen before. Only Guy would want to visit the largest lorry repair yard in Asia."

Elsewhere in the programme Guy buys a classic Royal Enfield motorcycle at a Delhi market that came with a traditional Hindu blessing.

Famed for his love of tea, the Grimsby adrenaline junkie gets the chance to enjoy a well-earned brew at a historic 250-year-old tea plantation.

Our Guy In India comes after he starred in his well-received programme Speed.

Speed saw Guy attempt to break the speed record for various vehicles, including a hovercraft.

The Grimsby racer has started to become a household name throughout the country after a number of popular TV programmes, including Guy Martin's Passion For Life, Guy Martin's Spitfire and The Boat That Guy Built. His book, Guy Martin: My Autobiography also proved a popular Christmas stocking filler after it made the top ten book sales in the UK during the festive period, with more than 30,000 copies flying off the shelves.

Guy hit the headlines of the Telegraph earlier this month when he appeared as a special guest at Caistor Grammar School at the Duke Of Edinburgh Awards evening held at the school.

The first part of Our Guy In India will be shown on Channel 4 on Sunday at 9pm.

THE Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Ed Davey, has reassured Humber business leaders that "the lights will stay on", despite concerns in some quarters over energy security and supplies.

The Minister enjoyed a heavyweight round table discussion with the area's senior energy industry leaders at a meeting hosted by the Hull & Humber Chamber of Commerce.

The Minister's grasp and depth of knowledge was understood to be very impressive as representatives from Phillips66 and Lindsey oil refineries, as well as Lord Haskins, from the Humber Local Enterprise Partnership, and several others reviewed existing supply issues, international oil price impacts, European and American regulatory issues as well as the exciting new opportunities for the renewable energy industry.

With the Humber home to every form of energy activity, with the exception of nuclear, and with the price of oil having plunged in recent weeks to a five-year low, the Minister reassured those in that sphere "that we've been in similar situations before, and have come out the other side".

The discussion noted that oil is mainly used for petrol and diesel, while gas is predominantly used for electricity and energy production, and Mr Davey explained that when Government sets its budgets, it builds in contingency and headroom for these types of price fluctuations.

With a general election looming, he pointed out that the Climate Change Act and the Carbon Energy Act were the two big recent pieces of legislation that this Government has brought in. He said they are expected to provide a long-term legal framework of stabilisation around which a general consensus on the future direction of the UK's power requirements can be modelled, in order to maximise future investment confidence.

David Hooper, the Chamber's external affairs manager, said: "It was pointed out that with eight of our nine nuclear power stations going off line in the next 10 years, the UK needs to find massive increases in electricity supplies just to stand still.

"Offshore wind, therefore, still has the potential to fill many of these gaps over the next 40 to 50 years."

All round the table agreed it was crucial to upskill and retrain the Humber workforce to ensure we can keep the investment coming with a well-trained and skilled local labour supply, as the meeting came on the day of the ground-breaking of Siemens' Green Port Hull site.

THIS happy couple are celebrating an amazing 70 years of marriage after being "thrown" together by a work colleague.

Herbert and Joan Bellamy, of Cleethorpes, met in Staines, in Middlesex, where they worked in the same factory.

They were set-up by a colleague and went out for a night at the pictures.

The pair married on Joan's birthday.

Herbert, 89, said: "They threw us together and after that we just carried on seeing each other.

"We got married when I was 19 and within two months I was off to France to serve in the Army; before I knew it I was driving a tank."

The pair had two boys, Stephen and Robert, they are proud grandparents five times over and also have five great-grandchildren.

They loved travelling the world and particularly enjoyed Bermuda and Cyprus.

In the company of friends, they manage to traverse most of Europe.

Speaking on behalf of 94-year-old Joan, Herbert added: "We live together and we get on and that's our secret really, there is no complicated formula; we'll always stick together.

"We've always got along well, our relationship has always been very important to us. We're very proud of our kids and our family; everyone has gone on to be pretty successful."

A ROMANTIC boyfriend got down on bended knee and proposed to his sweetheart on a theatre stage – in front of more than 200 people.

Love-struck Jamie Harris asked his girlfriend Laura Kelly to marry him just minutes after a pantomime production at Louth Playgoers' Riverhead Theatre had finished.

Jamie, 26, of Upgate, Louth, made his romantic request to Laura, 21, after a production of Beauty And The Beast.

He had been directing the show and Laura was appearing in it.

Jamie said: "We have known each other for two-and-a-half years. We were best friends for six or seven months of that and we discovered there was something more than friendship there.

"We have been together ever since and moved in together in June. About three or four months ago, I decided I wanted to propose.

"I talked to my friend, Derek Smith, who was the producer of the pantomime I directed, Beauty And The Beast.

"I bought the ring about eight weeks ago. After the final scene in the pantomime, I got down on my knee at the end of the final night.

"I just said in front of 209 audience members, 31 cast members and the 15 backstage team: 'Will you marry me?' This was the perfect place to do it."

Laura said: "We both love the theatre. I was in the pantomime playing Brigette. Jamie called me forward.

"I was a bit surprised, obviously, because everyone knew apart from me. I was a bit shocked.

"I just said 'Yes' and there was a big scream and a round of applause from the audience."

Jamie added: "The curtains closed and then we had our after-show party and a little celebration."

Laura said: "It was very special. It was a lovely way to propose. We have mentioned proposing before but I never thought it was going to be in our home town theatre."

Jamie said: "We would love to have our wedding at the theatre but they don't have a licence for it. We will have our engagement party here.

"We thought it would be quite fitting to have our engagement party in the place where I popped the question.

"When you propose, it should be to do with something you both enjoy. We are never away from this place.

"You can do it at a restaurant, where it's not very personal, but the theatre is a very special place for both of us, so it seemed a fitting place to do it."

The couple expect to marry in 2017 in or around Louth.

Jamie, originally from Hereford, has been with Louth Playgoers for four-and-a-half years. He has acted in 11 shows and directed three. He also does lighting.

He is rehearsing for his next acting role in Journey's End, as Captain Stanhope, in March.

Jamie works as an accounts administrator for a chip and PIN machine company in Grimsby.

He hosted the 2014 Grimsby Telegraph Community Awards, celebrating North East Lincolnshire's unsung heroes, at the Humber Royal Hotel, in November.

Laura, from Ashford, in Kent, has been with Louth Playgoers since 2009 and usually appears in pantomimes and musicals.

She is rehearsing for the King And I, as a royal wife, in May. She works for Waterloo Housing Group, Louth, as a housing apprentice.

CLEETHORPES MP Martin Vickers has called on the Government to improve rail services between Grimsby and Lincoln.

Speaking in the House of Commons, Mr Vickers said his constituents wanted East Midlands Trains to run two carriages, rather than just one, along the route.

Addressing Robert Goodwill, the parliamentary under-secretary of state for transport, Mr Vickers said: "Though my constituents would be happy to see new rail lines built, they would prefer better services on the existing ones.

"East Midlands Trains, which operates the Grimsby-Lincoln-Newark service, most of which is provided by a single-car unit, has been telling me for four-and-a-half years that it will improve that by making it two cars. When will the Minister act to do something about that?"

Mr Goodwill replied: "It is always important to address such issues when franchises come up.

"One of the problems we are facing in announcing all these programmes up and down the country is that everybody is now wanting to jump on the bandwagon to catch up and see the investment coming to their area after a 13-year period of drought in real investment in infrastructure."

THREE men were arrested following a dramatic police chase on Sunday afternoon after a car smashed into a lamppost on Peaks Parkway.

Officers were called to a single vehicle road traffic collision at 4.13pm on Sunday, after a blue Ford KA was reported to have collided with a lamppost on the A16, just before the roundabout with the A1098.

The driver then fled the scene, which resulted in police officers taking chase.

Police and firefighters attended and following wider searches and investigations, three men were arrested on suspicion of drugs and driving offences.

They remain in police custody at this time.

The road was partially closed and the area around the lamppost was cordoned off as emergency services made the area safe – but traffic remained largely unaffected.

One user, commenting on the story on the Grimsby Telegraph website, said: "They will get fined £50 and banned, even without a licence – justice strikes again?"

Another user, calling himself Mr Incredulous, added: "The road was partly closed while the area was made safe as the lane nearest to where the car ended up was blocked off with a fire engine when I went past.

"The signs that they drove over and are now bent are probably still there."

Officers from the Highways Agency were called out yesterday morning to make repairs to the lamppost.

Witnesses are now sought to the collision and anyone with information is asked to call Humberside Police on 101, quoting log number 387 of January 25. Or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

A FORMER Cleethorpes care home looks set to move into new hands after it was sold, subject to final negotiations.

The Farringford Residential Home closed in September last year after its owners went into liquidation, leaving around 30 staff without jobs.

At the time, its manager described the closure as a "bereavement without someone dying" and residents and their families spoke of their shock and worry.

Now the site in Grimsby Road has been sold to a mystery buyer, subject to contract.

Gary Croft, owner of Crofts Estate Agents, which has been dealing with the sale, confirmed the news.

But he said it was not a done deal just yet and added that he could not divulge further details at this stage.

He added that there had been "at least three" parties interested in the building but that one had made a successful bid.

The 21-bedroom building had been on the market for around £300,000.

According to the listing on Crofts website, the future use of the property has been suggested as a house of multiple occupation (HMO), flats, and a development of 55 apartments.

Another suggestion is commercial use on the ground floor with flats above, or to revert it back to its former use as a care home.

The advertisement said the site has a "titanic amount of space" to offer new owners.

It has previously been used as a car showroom and gas board headquarters.

It became a residential home in 1988 and was taken over by the most recent owners in August 2007.

Among those forced to move from the residential home were Vera Rostron, who has since turned 110.

Other residents, many of whom suffered from dementia and acute disabilities, were being helped in their search for new accommodation in existing homes or with relatives.

Care home manager Pam Gammons said at the time of the closure: "We are all extremely sad. They are all our family – the residents, the staff, the relatives.

"It is like a bereavement without someone dying."

She said relatives spoke with social services officers to try to find new homes for the residents ahead of the closure.

She added: "Times have changed. More people are staying in their own homes.

"If people can stay in their own homes it is a good thing. If there is a good care team, that is great.

"But these are vulnerable people and having people come to their home does not provide the continuity of care we provide."

Staff and residents later held a party to mark the closing down of the home.

A total of 15 residents had to uproot.

KEVIN and Joanne Clifton are doing Grimsby proud as they burn up the dance floor on the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour.

The pair, along with their partners Rachel Stevens and Scott Mills, have been taking the nation by storm all over again on the tour and Kevin even took the coveted Glitterball Trophy when the duos performed together in Nottingham.

The tour, which will arrive at Sheffield's Motorpoint Arena tonight, sees your favourite celebrities from the popular BBC show along with their professional dance partners dusting off their sequins as they take to the floor to compete across the UK in front of live tour judges, professional dancer Camilla Dallerup, her former celebrity partner Tom Chambers and live show judge Craig Revel Horwood under the watchful eye of host Zoe Ball.

Kevin and his partner, former S Club Seven singer Rachel, wowed audiences when they performed the tango and the rumba at The Capital FM Arena in Nottingham with audiences voting them the winners at the pair's first performance at the venue.

The following night saw Kevin's fiancee Karen Hauer take the Glitterball with the help of Towie star, Mark Wright when they performed the cha cha cha and the foxtrot.

Kevin tweeted: "Had an amazing time in Nottingham, me and Karen both took Glitterballs. On to Leeds."

Kevin and Karen, in a Q&A with Strictly fans, said: "The best part of the tour is getting to see all the amazing support and love from all the Strictly fans.

"This year's tour is absolutely brilliant. There are lots of exciting numbers and the costumes are just gorgeous. It's an absolute pleasure to be out there every night ."

THE chance to jump on board and ignite Grimsby Town's promotion charge was just too good for either Christian Jolley or Gregor Robertson to refuse.

Paul Hurst welcomed both players to the club yesterday, as the Mariners signalled their ongoing Conference ambitions with a double signing.

Jolley and Robertson – who both signed deals until the end of the season – are now expected to be part of the matchday squad at Eastleigh (7.45pm).

But while a double Town debut could be just around the corner, both men are excited by the bigger picture at Blundell Park.

Jolley, 26, who was released by League Two side Newport last week, said: "Grimsby are in a great position to get promoted, and I want to be a part of that.

"I'm glad to have finally got the move sorted, and I just want to hit the ground running with some performances for the team.

"At this stage, the club have got a great foundation – we just have to take it game by game and put pressure on the teams around us.

"Eastleigh are having a great season, with good backing and good players.

"But going down to their place tonight, we have to stand our ground and make sure they recognise us as a good team.

"Hopefully I can get some minutes, but the boys have been doing well – and it's always tough getting into a winning team."

While forward Jolley will add to Town's attacking options, Robertson – formerly of Nottingham Forest, Rotherham and most recently Northampton Town – bolsters a defensive line-up currently missing the absent Aswad Thomas.

Given Robertson's link with Hurst – and assistant Chris Doig – the switch to Blundell Park is a seemingly natural one.

It meant the 31-year-old Scot had to drop out of the Football League for the first time in his career, but he plans to use that as motivation.

Robertson added: "I want to help Grimsby get promoted, and it's clear that is everyone's aim here.

"I've played with Chris (Doig) and Paul (Hurst), so I know them both as good football people.

"They got in touch with me and, once it became apparent I wasn't going to get much more football at Northampton, it seemed like a good opportunity for me.

"Grimsby one of the best and biggest clubs in this league.

"In an ideal world, I want to come here to play games and help the club get promoted.

"We want to be back in the Football League next season, and hopefully I can deliver help the club to deliver that aim.

"Obviously, dropping from the league was something for me to think about.

"But I know the club is in a really good position, and to be a part of that was very exciting – hopefully we can go on and do it."

Yesterday's double swoop was the culmination of a busy January transfer window for Hurst and Town – although the boss hasn't ruled out bringing in more new faces to the club.

But for now, he is delighted to have completed his pursuit of Jolley, while making sure there are enough options in defence in the absence of Thomas.

Hurst told the Telegraph: "Christian can play in the wide positions and down the middle, in either one of the formations we have used this season.

"He has got pace about him, and is a player we have admired for a while now.

"When Newport went up from this league, Christian showed great form and get a lot of goals for them – he is a big threat and hopefully we can get him back up to that.

"We want to build up his confidence, and bring out those positive things in his game that we know he's got.

"Gregor is a really experienced player, and can play in a several positions as well.

"He is a left-back primarily, but he can also play one up in midfield, or as a centre-back – he will give us that natural balance."

Keep track of the latest Town news in your Telegraph.

TOP scorer Lenell John-Lewis is almost certain to be back in the Grimsby Town XI at Eastleigh tonight (7.45pm).

The 15-goal frontman missed the weekend victory at Nuneaton, but has been passed fit to travel for the crunch Conference encounter.

John-Lewis could replace Jon-Paul Pittman in the Town side, after the US-born striker was ruled out through injury.

Meanwhile, Scott Brown (knee) and Aswad Thomas are both missing, but there is some brighter team news elsewhere.

Scott Neilson heads to the Silverlake Stadium, along with new recruits Christian Jolley and Gregor Robertson.

It means Mariners' boss Paul Hurst has plenty of options for the clash with one of his side's promotion rivals.

He said: "Lenny has trained and he has been given the green light.

"I will have to have another chat with him, as he was struggling at the weekend.

"We had to err on the side of caution, but he will travel with us.

"And if Lenny says he is right, there is a good chance he will be in the team.

"Scott (Neilson) travelled on Saturday, having only had one day's training.

"He did some work before the game, and has had another training session yesterday.

"Scott will travel with us, and we are hoping he will be available."

On Town's absentees for the league clash tonight, Hurst added: "We've just got JP out, with a hamstring, and then Scott, who is just feeling his knee.

"He has tweaked his ligament, and it's difficult to put a time frame on that one.

"There's no real concern in terms of it being too serious.

"It might be Saturday, or another two weeks, and he will be a miss because he's done well for us."

NEW recruits Christian Jolley and Gregor Robertson could both make their Grimsby Town debuts at Eastleigh tonight (7.45pm).

As reported online at www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/sport yesterday, Mariners boss Paul Hurst completed a double swoop for the duo.

Signing until the end of the season, Jolley and Robertson are now both expected to be part of the matchday squad at the Silverlake Stadium.

The signing of Jolley was made possible thanks to a cash injection from lottery millionaires Lee and Sue Mullen – also see front page story.

While Town's new pair only met their team-mates yesterday, Hurst knows they are ready to help ignite the promotion charge.

He told the Telegraph: "With these two coming in, we have really got some great options on board.

"It gives us much more balance and, even though we were already in good shape, the squad looks much stronger – so we're delighted.

"Ahead of tonight, I will have to weigh up what's best for the team, and will have a little chat with both of them.

"Sometimes you want to ease players in, but I get the sense they both want to hit the ground running and make the most of the opportunity.

"They are joining a team in decent form, and we have got a buzz about us – so I'm sure they will fit in straight away."

Jolley arrives at Blundell Park having been released by League Two side Newport County last week.

Meanwhile, Robertson heads into town from Northampton – having previously been a team-mate of Hurst at Rotherham, and Town's assistant boss Chris Doig at Nottingham Forest.

Hurst added: "I'm sure the fans remember what Christian is all about, and the threat that he poses.

"As with a lot of these situations, it wasn't straightforward – but we eventually got there and we are delighted.

"At one point it didn't look like it was going to happen, after the initial contact.

"We didn't think we would got it across the line, but a lot of hard work has gone in and Mr Fenty deserves a mention as well."

Police have confirmed they have launched an investigation after a large cannabis factory was discovered in Grimsby.

Emergency services had been called to a fire at a commercial premises in King Edward Street early this morning.

Firefighters broke down the door of one of the buildings to gain access.
