Beverley's Minster Way to reopen as part of Jock's Lodge work
ERYC said a footpath would remain closed, with some work still to be finished.Temporary traffic management measures meant vehicles would be required to turn left when leaving Lincoln Way on to the A164, but could turn back on to the westbound carriageway at the next roundabout. The Jock's Lodge junction links two of the area's busiest roads – the A164 (Beverley to the Humber Bridge) and the A1079 (Hull to York).

WATCH: New Range Rover EV prototype on test
Close This is the new electric Range Rover, in still-secret prototype form. And we've driven it off-road. Join Matt Saunders here as he guides you through the new Range Rover EV's technical details, some of which are still to be confirmed. What we can tell you is that it'll have two motors, one at each end, totalling 542bhp. There's a 118kWh battery underneath the car too, which because it's a stressed element helps make this the strongest Range Rover yet built. It may well be the heaviest too, but we'll know more about that when final details are released, ahead of the car's launch this coming autumn. For now, sit back, relax, and enjoy the sound of silence as this exceptionally quiet EV goes about its off-roading business. Watch the video by clicking above.

The electric Range Rover is almost here! But we've already taken it off road...
The Range Rover Electric's 542bhp of peak power isn't likely to cause too many heightened expectations in this department. We have so far only driven the car below 20mph, on a mix of single-track sealed roads and forest tracks; so impressions about on-road performance and drivability will come later. And as far as offroading goes; Eastnor's tracks were mostly dry on the day of our test, so didn't present the challenge to this car's outright traction and torque-vectoring capacities that they might have on a soggy December afternoon. But a cakewalk, they certainly ain't. In places they climb and descend slippery gradients of more than 25 degrees, as well as twisting and turning around gulleys, and over rocks and ridges. And yet the unflappable calmness with which the Range Rover Electric can simply ease itself up, down, over and around everything before it inspires incredible confidence in its capabilities. Nothing seems to phase it. Nothing requires the merest run up, or suck-it-and-see hurried stab of power. It sniffs out traction bit by bit, like a mountain goatherd who's rehearsed every step; and without any need to worry about keeping engine revs from bogging down, momentum from dying, or wheels from spinning away fruitlessly. Without an asymmetrical motor layout, the car vectors torque in offroad situations via open diffs and brake interventions, using specially developed Terrain Response traction control software adapted for the torque of electric motors. 'We can control a slipping wheel about a hundred times faster than in the standard car,' says Fairbrother. The difference that makes to the Range Rover's offroad capability is remarkable; and, in tandem with an apparent dearth of effort expended in what it's doing caused by the lack of any revving engine, it makes for an air of assurance that suits a Range Rover quite brilliantly. As well as being superbly quiet and calm when running on asphalt, there's a serene composure about this car even at the toughest of moments. So accessible is the car's torque, and so fine and effective its electronic governance, that you seldom need more than 40- or 50 per cent throttle to ease gently over the biggest roots, or out of deep ruts. The loudest noises you'll hear will likely be water sloshing past the wheels, gravel crunching under the tyres, and the background hum of the air conditioning.

You can now get £3,750 off a new electric car – here's why
Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander has announced a new £650 million Electric Car Grant (ECG), offering up to £3,750 for electric vehicles priced under £37,000 to reduce costs for buyers. The grant comes into effect on 16 July, but car manufacturers are still awaiting specific details on which models qualify for which grant amounts. The grant amounts are based on sustainability criteria with car makers having to commit to a Science-Based Target (SBT) on emissions. While the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders welcomed the grant, the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association raised concerns about potential negative impacts on the used electric vehicle market and finance costs. Alongside the ECG, the government has also announced a £25 million scheme for cross-pavement charging technology, an £8 million fund to electrify ambulance and medical fleets across 200 NHS sites, and improved EV charging signage on major roads.
