Climate protesters were outside County Hall as they looked to drive home their message to East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
Around 30 protesters, some affiliated to the group Extinction Rebellion were calling for the local authority to declare a climate emergency.
Green Party Candidate, Richard Howarth was arrested after he attempted to display a banner on the roof of Hull University.
Mr Howarth tried to unfurl his banner at the site during the filming on the BBC show Question Time on Thursday evening.
Extinction Rebellion are into their second week of protests in London. Here in Beverley just weeks ago students from local schools joined global protests staged in relation to climate change.
While London may be under siege from protesters and dividing opinion, the truth is their cause is one that impacts us all.
