Plans for the Isle of Axholme to join a biosphere reserve network have been backed by councillors.

North Lincolnshire Council's cabinet agreed to support participation in the proposed Humberhead Unesco Biosphere at a meeting on Monday 2 February.

If approved, officials said the move would protect the area's unique landscape, improve flood resilience, restore nature and support farming and local livelihoods.
