Egg factory 'would house 64,000 free range hens'
A proposed egg production facility near Eastrington in East Yorkshire could house 64,000 birds. Plans for the facility at Owsthorpe Farm have been submitted to East Riding of Yorkshire Council to consider. According to documents, the applicants "are seeking to diversity their farming business with the development of a free-range egg production unit". The plans also include automated systems for feeding, drinking, lighting, and ventilation. The application includes the erection of a separate egg packing and storage building. Documents seen by the Local Democracy Reporting Service state the site - accessed from an existing track off Mill Lane - would include two poultry buildings, each housing 32,000 free range laying hens aged between 17 and 70 weeks. The applicants state: "The proposed development is a modern and efficient livestock production unit that is designed to fulfil a modern demand for cheap and environmentally efficiently produced food." The development would operate in accordance with the British Egg Industry Councils Lion Code of Practice, and the RSPCA Freedom Foods guidance. The site would employ three full-time staff.

Coroner warning over incompatible NHS systems
A Hull coroner has warned NHS bosses that delays to the availability of mental health assessments between different teams due to outdated IT systems could lead to future deaths. Prof Paul Marks, senior coroner for Hull and East Riding, issued a prevention of future deaths report following an inquest into the death of John Kirkman, who took his own life. Prof Marks said healthcare teams could encounter problems accessing "vital" information about patients as a result of incompatible computer programmes and this could lead to delays in care. The report, sent to the chief executive of NHS England, said the organisation should take action, "possibly by reviewing the compatibility of IT systems". The report said Mr Kirkman, who was 36, had a long history of paranoid schizophrenia and took his own life on 27 December 2023. During the inquest, the coroner said the evidence revealed matters that caused him concern. Prof Marks said that if a mental health screening assessment was carried out in one part of the country, the results and conclusions may not be immediately available elsewhere when a further assessment is carried out, due to the use of different IT systems. "Absence of vital background information could result in an incorrect prioritisation for onward referral, as it did in this case," he said. The lack of availability of clinical information and data may "adversely influence subsequent assessments", he said. The coroner said NHS England had 56 days to respond with details of action taken or a proposed timetable of action.

Plein air artist's East Yorkshire landscapes to be showcased
A new art exhibition will showcase the landscapes of the East Riding. 'My Home Patch,' an exhibition of the paintings of Susan Beulah, will run from August 23 to September 19 at the East Riding Theatre in Beverley. Beulah's scenes include the farmland at Meaux Abbey where her family have farmed for generations; Hornsea beach, where she spent her happy teenage years; industrial Hull; and Beverley Westwood. After spending decades as a teacher and professional artist in London, Beulah has returned to East Yorkshire to reconnect with her "home patch." Beulah said: "Painting directly from life brings a vibrancy and truth that photos can't match. "It's about feeling the weather, the sounds, the life around you." The exhibition is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 2pm in the theatre's café area. For more details, phone 07896 916325 or 01482 827888, search @susan beaulah on Instagram, or visit
