Welcome to Tuesday morning's edition of Our Liverpool, which brings you a cross section of ECHO content.

This week so far has been a mixed bag of news and has included major road traffic incidents, the sentencing of Janette Mercer and our overview of the cases linked to the major investigation into the use of communications network EncroChat. A more light-hearted standout includes Gary Usher's defence of his £19.50 burger.

Yesterday afternoon, our reporter Emily Sleight was at St. Michael's on Wyre in Lancashire where Nicola Bulley was last seen. Police are continuing their search for the missing mum of two.

Love is in the air

"Tired, angry, but defiant"

Pampered pooch

There was a slight twist in this week's instalment of the ECHO's Where I Live series, as the interior was just as focused on pets as it was humans. Lorna built pampered pooch Eris her very own kennel and dog food bar under the stairs of her colourful quirky home. You can read the full feature, and get a glimpse of Lorna's gorgeous eclectic home on the Wirral, here.
