Ultimately, I hope that the Directors are held 'as accountable' as the individuals involved. As we all know, funerals are expensive things and if the Directors have failed to pay for cremations in Hull and then in Doncaster, there has been a huge misappropriation of funds and as such they should be held equally liable.
 
Apparently they were refused a license to install an incinerator at Hessle Road site.
Too close to food factories and the garage opposite.

As sad as this story is, and respect to those affected I don't think it's the horrific horror story as some (the media) are making out. As mentioned earlier it could have been much worse. The company seems to have got into a financial hole and kept on digging, getting itself in the situation as announced.
Again respect to those involved and certainly no dispespect intended.
And it's reminded me to find out what has happened to my dad's ashes who hopefully was cremated during covid lock down.

Sorry, I think it is absolutely horrific.

To mourn a loved one, find some comfort in whatever you choose to do with the remains, and then find out that comfort may have been misplaced?

Awful all round.

Tonight

A flaming torch-lit procession featuring 500 volunteers will make its way from Hull Minster to Hull Marina, where audiences will enjoy a spectacular performance of The Tower of Light - transforming Hull Marina into a magical theatre of fire, light, sound and performance.

The Tower of Light celebrates the Lighthouse, and the people who lived and worked in them: the Lighthouse Keepers who kept sailors safe for centuries. It is a beautifully choreographed piece of outdoor theatre, centred around a spectacular Lighthouse and its three hapless Lighthouse Keepers who keep the Tower animated with light, fire and stunning pyrotechnic effects.

Live music and community activities will welcome you to Hull Marina. The Spurn Lightship's lantern will shine a light to everyone passing.

The free event takes place from 7.10pm on Thursday 14 March, when the parade arrive at Hull Marina for the Tower of Light performance. The event is expected to finish at approximately 8.15pm.

See below - 120 officers drafted in, with some from other forces, my guess they've dragged in any available staff, probably nothing more to it, than that.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they haven’t drafted in staff who work in fatality identification in disasters too.
UK has a very good reputation in that field and they’re used to identification of remains, including those dying in fires (whether post cremation is possible I wouldn’t know)

Hundreds of free dashcams are set to be made available for frequent users of East Yorkshire's main routes in a bid to improve road safety.

The Department for Transport (DfT) has awarded the office of the Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) £65,000 for a road safety project called Operation Journey.

The application process for the dashcams will ensure a focus on motorists who regularly use the road network. They must also be willing to download dashcam footage to Operation Snap on a consistent basis where they identify inappropriate driving behaviour. People will be required to specify the main roads they use and how many miles they cover. This will also help ensure coverage across the Humber region.

What the hell is wrong with this country paying for people to shop others to the authorities.I always thought it was the job of the police to police society not a bunch of bloody busy bodies.

I get your sentiment, but - as someone who's driven cars and ridden motorbikes for more than fifty years I've seen how road users year on year have become more impatient, anti-social and downright angry in their driving habits. I can safely say their aren't nearly enough coppers to police the roads. If this initiative takes ''twats'' off the road - good luck with it.

Is it one step on a slippery slope, or a low cost initiative to identify offenders who might go on to do real damage?
I don't know but is it really much different to those boards we see at accident sites? You know, 'accident here 12/3/24, did you see anything?', or police appealing in the press for dashcam footage?
