Brough painter criticised by council for illegal yellow lines
The authority said: "We strongly condemn this action, which is illegal, and could pose a safety risk as it could lead to confusion and potential accidents."We are aware of concerns raised by residents regarding parking and are committed to ensuring that parking arrangements meet the need of both commuters and local residents."Following the opening of additional parking on Skillings Lane, we are reviewing the situation."
Residents living close to the station and the newly painted lines were critical about the level of traffic in the town.Jason Russell, 36, said his property had been affected by passengers parking outside and claimed warning notices were often "ignored".He added: "They (whoever has painted the lines) have obviously tried to replicate real lines but people don't take notice of signs, so they won't take notice of a few squiggles."It's a nice idea but it won't work."Other people called for the station car park to be expanded to stop vehicles from being parked on neighbouring streets.David Roberts, 65, said the lines showed the level of frustration felt by many in the town."People get territorial about things. It's imaginative, creative, I can't condone it but I understand why they've done it. They're obviously sick of people parking there," he added.But Mark Langton, 58, said he was concerned about the impact the lines would have on safety, adding: "You can't take it on yourself. If it causes an accident, who is responsible?"The BBC has contacted Transpennine Express, the operator of Brough Station, for comment about the parking situation.

Man accused of killing Irish journalist Lyra McKee took part in Republican parade in Glasgow
'The marchers don't hide in any way the fact they are supporting Republican prisoners and they have a bedrock of support in Glasgow." A man accused of the terrorist killing of Irish journalist Lyra McKee took part in a Republican parade in Scotland. Jordan Devine played a large bass drum at the march in Glasgow earlier this month. The 24-year-old was pictured taking part in a paramilitary-style parade through the city centre, with the Roberts/Mellon flute band. Devine has denied in court any involvement in the murder of Lyra, who was struck by a bullet fired at police during a riot in the Creggan area of Derry on the evening of April 18, 2019. The recent Glasgow event was held to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of the internment in Ireland of IRA members. It was organised by the Irish Republican Prisoner Welfare Association (IRPWA). This is alleged to be an offshoot of Saoradh, the political wing of banned terror group the New IRA. One source said: 'The marchers don't hide in any way the fact they are supporting Republican prisoners and they have a bedrock of support in Glasgow. 'There has been a lot of activity around Celtic Park, which the club is uncomfortable with, and the recent event had a fundraising shindig at a bar near the Barras in the east end. 'It is highly unusual that a person accused of such a serious crime would be seen in such a public demonstration and this raised a few eyebrows, even with Republican supporters.' At the head of the march, a banner stating the group's support for political prisoners said: 'No change – from H block to Maghaberry' - referring to the conditions such prisoners are held in. Devine's drum bore a slogan that stated: 'We must see our present fight through to the bitter end.' Another stated: 'Onward to the Republic and the liberation of our people.' Dressed in black shirt and trousers, Devine walked among others who wore military-style black berets. At points in the march they were berated by opponents, despite a large number of supporters following behind. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Reports in Northern Ireland claim Saoradh is collecting thousands of pounds through fundraisers in Scotland, at which dissident republicans are feted as heroes. The Lyra McKee murder trial has been delayed by several adjournments. Nine men from Derry are currently on trial at Belfast Crown Court on charges arising from the riot that culminated in her murder. They all deny the charges. Three of the accused have been charged with murdering Lyra, possessing a firearm and ammunition and other linked offences, including rioting and possessing and throwing petrol bombs. The trio are Paul McIntyre, 57, Peter Cavanagh, 36, and Jordan Devine. The prosecution case is that while none of the three defendants were the gunman who fired the fatal shot, their actions at the scene 'are demonstrative of their involvement in the joint enterprise to possess and fire the weapon with the requisite intent for murder'. The court previously heard 29-year-old Lyra died from a single gunshot wound to the head. She suffered a cardiac arrest at the scene and died despite attempts at resuscitation. The trial is being heard without a jury.

Police warning after seal pup bitten by dogs on Mablethorpe beach
Dog walkers are being warned by police to keep their pets away from seals on beaches after a seal pup was "nipped" by two incident took place at Mablethorpe beach in Lincolnshire at about 05:30 BST last Police wildlife crime officer, Det Con Aaron Flint, said the owner was likely to be asked to make a donation to Mablethorpe Seal Sanctuary for the cost of the care of the seal, which could be up to £5,000. He said the seal was not left with visible bite marks, but warned pet owners to keep their dogs on leads if they do not have good recall. Det Con Flint said: "This happens too often. Operation Seabird is a national operation that deals with this type of incident as it is a real problem."The operation wants to provide education about keeping their dogs on leads if they don't have good recall as owners are responsible for what their dogs do."In this case, the gentleman didn't have good recall, the dogs were young, but it could have been preventable as if they were on a lead, it would not have happened."Alford & Mablethorpe Police said the owner managed to get one dog on a lead after the dogs starting nipping at the the second dog, which was wearing a red muzzle, continued to nip and the owner had to stand over the seal to prevent it being injured further. Dennis Drew, one of the directors at Mablethorpe Seal Sanctuary, said the seal had been receiving treatment in hospital and would eventually be released back into the said: "It is responding to medication for a mouth infection and it could be with us potentially for several months while it recovers."We couldn't see any clear bite marks from the dogs so it may have just been nipped."We're advising people to be wary when they're walking on the beach and when they do let them off, to make sure they have a good recall as dogs are just doing what they instinctively know, which is to defend themselves."
