The club currently plays at Blundell Park and has previously said its preferred site was Peaks Parkway. North East Lincolnshire councillors are to assess the suitability of the sites in more detail. The locations are: Europarc business park, Peaks Parkway, land next to Morrison's supermarket in Laceby, Great Coates, Dockside and Freeman Street. The decision follows an independent survey which scored and ranked 16 venues, then shortlisted the final six. Ray Oxby, leader of North East Lincolnshire Council, said the search for a new stadium had "dragged on for far too long". Mr Oxby said: "We must follow a strict and proper process to make sure we get the right result for the whole area. "Failure to follow this process could result in more delays and ultimately more expense." The findings are to be presented to senior councillors in 2016.

Summary: Six potential sites for a new Grimsby Town football stadium and leisure complex have been named by the council.


The stamp includes an illustration showing how it would have been worn when it was in use more than 3,700 years ago in Flintshire. The cape was discovered in a grave in 1833 along with other artefacts. Other important objects featured on the stamps include the Iron Age Battersea Shield found in the River Thames. The Gold Cape is on display at the British Museum and it has previously been on show in Cardiff and Wrexham. It was discovered in fragments when workmen found a skeleton in a grave at the centre of a circular burial mound. It was only when the British Museum acquired the artefact and experts set about putting together the fragments that the original form of the cape, fashioned from a single piece of gold, was revealed.

Polanski's victim, Samantha Geimer, described the ordeal of giving testimony against Polanski in an interview for the BBC's HARDTalk programme in 2013. Polanski has French and Polish citizenship. France does not extradite its own citizens but the director occasionally visits Poland, attending a press event in Katowice just last week. Swiss authorities turned down a US extradition warrant in 2010, after placing Polanski under house arrest for nine months.

Summary: Poland's justice minister says he will appeal against a decision not to extradite film director Roman Polanski to the US for statutory rape.

The inspection, led by the Care Inspectorate and Education Scotland, examined children's services provided by the Moray Community Planning Partnership between August and October. Out of nine key indicators of performance, five were rated as adequate and four as weak. Inspectors found children at immediate risk of harm were being protected. However, those experiencing neglectful parenting were exposed to risk for too long before decisive action was taken. The main areas of weakness related to management and in some cases how services worked together. The Moray Community Planning Partnership said hard work was being done since the inspection and it was confident of being on the right track.

Summary: Important improvements need to be made to services for children and young people in Moray, inspectors have said.

Official figures show that 300 people came off the register in March, putting the jobless total at 31,500. The Northern Ireland unemployment rate also fell to 5.2% - the lowest it has been since last 2008 - but still above the UK average (4.7%). Northern Ireland also trails the rest of the UK in terms of the proportion of its workforce in employment - 69% versus 75%. However, one economist has said the data includes evidence of "a lost decade." Dr Esmond Birnie, of the Ulster University Economic Policy Centre, said the Northern Ireland employment figure is "very similar" to 10 years ago. "In other words over the last decade there has been no improvement," he said. The figures also show a change in the composition of the labour market in recent times, with more self-employed and part-time workers.

As a result, they said, they had no choice but to take strike action. Brussels's main station, the Gare du Midi, was largely deserted on Wednesday as the strike action began.

They were received by both the emergency 999 number and the non-emergency 101 line, police said. Cumbria Police said nuisance calls can prevent people getting an urgent response. The campaign will inform people of the best ways to contact the police without causing a demand on services. "We are going to ask people to really think before they pick up the phone.

It forecast that rents will go up by 19% between now and 2021, while house prices will only rise by 13%. The gap will be even more pronounced in London, where it said rents will rise by 24.5%, and house prices by 10.9%. The reason was "post-referendum economic uncertainty" and weaker consumer sentiment.

However prices in the north will start to "outperform" by the end of the five year period. At the same time demand for rental properties will increase, it said, as first-time buyers struggle with affordability. Where can I afford to live?

The 23-year-old, from Kentucky, saw his five-shot lead cut to one in the space of two holes along the back nine. But he recovered to close on four-under 69 and win a third PGA Tour title. Matsuyama carded 70 for second place while American 2016 champion Jordan Spieth closed on 65 to share third with compatriots Pat Perez and Ryan Moore. "It's a great feeling," Thomas told Golf Channel after his victory, which saw him jump 10 places to 12th in the world rankings. "I obviously stumbled a bit more than I would have liked to on some of those holes but I think it really shows where my game is at right now. "I had some lows there in the second part of the nine but I stuck it out to still get it done."

Summary: American Justin Thomas held off a challenge from Japan's Hideki Matsuyama to claim a three-shot victory at the Tournament of Champions in Hawaii.

The money will pay for a second stereotactic body radiotherapy treatment (SBRT) machine at Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff. The machine targets tumours, but causes less damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The funding will allow the hospital to offer twice as many people SBRT. Health Minister Mark Drakeford said there had been an 8% increase in the number of courses of radiotherapy given at the centre in the past two years and a 10% rise in the number of attendances for treatment. He said the new machine, which replaces an older model, would help the centre meet this demand and would see fewer people having to travel to Sheffield for treatment.

Summary: Cancer patients who had to travel to England for specialist radiotherapy can now get their treatment in Wales after a £4.8m investment.

Daventry District Council already uses three dog control orders (DCOs) targeting dog foul, dogs in play areas and dogs on leads. The "new power" proposed by the council would force dog owners to show how they would clear up after their animals. The council admits the idea, to be decided on Thursday, could be "controversial".

A spokesman for the council said: "The proposed new power to enable our officers to require dog owners to produce the means by which they will pick up after their dogs has the potential to be controversial. "The consultation process will give the public an opportunity to lobby against the use of this power or alternatively provide essential support to its introduction."
