The newest Starbucks branch in Scunthorpe is opening with free giveaways to the first 100 customers.

The drive-thru and eat-in outlet, in Kingsway, launches at 9am on Thursday, July 11. Designed with artwork that is specific to the branch, the Starbucks development has created 16 new jobs.

District manager Anne Coleman, who has responsibility for six stores in the Scunthorpe, Barnetby, Grimsby and Lincoln areas, said: “We will be opening on Thursday at 9am and we are hoping that we will have a queue ready for us to serve them our handcrafted beverages.

“We are a drive-thru with eat-in and take-away available and we are expecting a high footfall due to the location. We have just launched our summer range of food and beverages, so hopefully we have something for everyone.”

Anne said the first 100 people in the queue would each be receiving a goody bag. She said: “We will be giving away a reusable cup, a Gold Coin [a chocolate coin with the Starbucks emblem on it] and a Via coffee. We will also be adding a treat-a-friend voucher to the bag, so you can visit the store again with a friend and they get a drink free on us.”

Anne, who has been with the Kbeverage group that is behind Starbucks for almost six years, said: “The store is also a green store, which means we recycle all our cardboard, plastic and coffee grounds. We are fully sustainable and love to promote community engagement.

“Our other Scunthorpe drive-thru has been working with local charity Jerry Green. I am currently supporting breast cancer by swimming ten miles in July to raise money – everything I raise will be doubled by Kbeverage.”

The new branch will be offering discounts to blue light workers and members of the military.

Former worlds strongest man and British Olympian Geoff Capes dies aged 75

Geoff Capes, twice the world’s strongest man and a three-time Olympian, has died aged 75, British Athletics has announced. The Lincolnshire-born athlete won Commonwealth shot put gold in 1974 and 1978 and was crowned World’s Strongest Man in 1983 and 1985. He set the British record with a 21.68m throw in 1980, which remains the best ever ratified, and also enjoyed success at the European indoor athletics championships the decade prior, claiming two golds, three silvers and a bronze. A British Athletics statement read: “British Athletics are saddened to hear the news of former British shot putter, Geoff Capes’ passing. “Our condolences go out to his family and friends at this time.” A statement from Capes’ family said: “The family of Geoffrey Capes would like to announce his sad passing today, 23rd October. Britain’s finest shot-putter and twice world’s strongest man.” The former policeman also took home bronze at the 1987 World Strongman Challenge in Tokyo, 10 years after he claimed bronze at the European outdoor athletics championships. He represented Great Britain at the 1972, 1976 and 1980 Summer Olympics, achieving his best result, a fifth-place finish, at his final Games in Moscow. Carl Myerscough later threw further than Capes’ British record in June 2003, 21.92 metres, but his performance was not ratified. Published: 23/10/2024 by Radio NewsHub

Carbon monoxide poisoning primary line of inquiry in care home deaths probe

Police investigating the deaths of three people at a care home in Swanage are pursuing potential carbon monoxide poisoning as their “primary line of inquiry”. Dorset Police Chief Superintendent Heather Dixey told the press that seven people were also in hospital as a result of the incident at Gainsborough Care Home in Ulwell Road on Wednesday. However, she said there was “nothing to indicate” danger to the wider community. “The deaths are currently being treated as unexplained, and we are continuing to liaise with our partner agencies to establish the full circumstances of what has happened,” she said. “A significant multi-agency presence will remain in the area, including a police cordon as we work with our partners to carry out an investigation. “Following earlier inquiries, I can confirm that potential carbon monoxide poisoning is our primary line of inquiry, but I would stress that there is nothing to indicate that there is currently any risk to the wider public. “Swanage is a very close-knit community and I know these very sad deaths will have significant impact on everyone here.” She said the remaining residents have been evacuated to a location where they can receive appropriate care. “They are being supported by Dorset Council and the health service,” she added. Katie Lobban, a spokeswoman for gas distribution company SGN, said they were called to the Gainsborough Care Home earlier on Wednesday as the national gas emergency service for the south of England. She said engineers were sent to complete safety checks in the building, adding: “Our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected by this tragic incident.” People living near the scene in Ulwell Road saw residents being taken out of the building. One man, who did not want to give his name, told the PA news agency: “They evacuated the care home, Gainsborough Care Home. “They have taken all the patients out but the emergency services are still on the scene.” He said he saw some residents being taken out in wheelchairs. He estimated there were two fire engines, three to four police cars and around eight or nine ambulances at the scene, where the road remains closed. Patricia Garnel, who lives in Ulwell Road, said she started hearing sirens “non-stop” from around 8am. “I knew something was happening as we started hearing sirens non-stop from around 8, 8.30am,” the 53-year-old told PA. “As I was driving to the ferry the road was closed. I made it around, got to the ferry and police, ambulances and fire brigades were crossing from Poole to Swanage. It was a huge apparatus. One I’ve never seen.” Published: 23/10/2024 by Radio NewsHub
