In Brief

EAST YORKS: A Beverley beauty salon stylist is heading to London for one of the biggest shows of the year.

Jayne Allinson, of De Lacy Spa, in Saturday Market, will be styling the hair of the Sass & Bide runway models at London fashion week on Friday. The competition to win the honour was stiff, with hundreds of entries.

Salon director Kerris Lacy said: "The team has worked so hard to get to this level."

EAST RIDING: Government-funded grants of up to £3,500 – and up to £6,000 in areas where there is no mains gas – are available to people on income-related benefits to help them keep warm and save money on energy bills.

The Warm Front scheme provides things such as loft and cavity-wall insulation, draught-proofing, hot-water-tank jackets and additional heating solutions such as installing a new central heating system or repairing an existing one.

East Riding Council says improvements are designed to help home owners and private tenants keep warmer and healthier.

Councillor Symon Fraser, of East Riding Council, said the scheme is more important in rural areas of the East Riding. For more information, call Gail Hall on 01482 396358.
