Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight. | :00:05. | :00:07. | |
The majority of schools in our area are facing closure next Wednesday, | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
the warning from a trade union ahead of strike action. | :00:12. | :00:22. | |
:00:22. | :00:37. | ||
Why private security patrols are being introduced to a market town. | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
Our officers can actually detained people if required if someone is | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
causing a problem, and that is all done in conjunction with the police. | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
It may look like a rat but this is the country's most endangered | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
mammal and it's flourishing in east Yorkshire. | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
Why this is a sound you won't be hearing in Lincoln for several | :00:56. | :01:03. | |
weeks. And a very windy weekend to come | :01:03. | :01:13. | |
:01:13. | :01:17. | ||
It's been called the biggest strike in a generation and next Wednesday | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
it will affect the majority of schools across East Yorkshire and | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
Lincolnshire. That's according to a leading teaching union which says | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
thousands of teachers will take part in the national walkout to | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
protest against changes to pensions. The strike will also affect | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
hospitals, colleges, courts and job centres. Our Political Editor Tim | :01:30. | :01:40. | |
:01:40. | :01:50. | ||
Next Wednesday thousands of public sector workers will march in | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
protest at proposed changes to their pensions. Emma is a primary | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
school teacher at Willerby in East Yorkshire. She is unhappy about | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
having to pay more towards her pension and work longer. They still | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
want me to work until I am 68, they still want me to pay more into my | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
pension and at the end of it I will get a poor pension. Teachers on | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
average get �10,000 a year. I can name staff on a tractor at this | :02:26. | :02:33. | |
called that as women are looking at a pension of around �8,000. | :02:34. | :02:43. | |
:02:44. | :02:44. | ||
many parents say next week's strike will be inconvenient. I will have | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
to get to somebody else to get the children for a couple of hours. Or | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
we will track them all out with us. I understand they are worried about | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
the pensions, but wide disrupt the children's education. More than 2 | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
million public sector workers across the country are expected to | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
join the next Wednesday's walkout. Even their pension negotiations are | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
still ongoing, the unions have defended their decision to take | :03:12. | :03:20. | |
strike action. We are expecting that the vast majority of schools | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
will be closed or partially closed. To those who are inconvenienced and | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
out of pocket, no teacher wants that to happen. That is not our aim. | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
The government claims the destruction caused by next week's | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
day of action will cost the country half-a- billion pounds. But at this | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
stage, nothing looks set to stop the biggest this strike for a | :03:43. | :03:51. | |
generation. Joining me in the studio and Graham | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
Stuart, the Beverley and Holderness MP and Chair of the Education | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
Select Committe and Brian Swinton of the National Union of Teachers. | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
David Cameron has called this action irresponsible and wrong, why | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
are you doing it? Because we have do. There is no alternative. Graham | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
and his colleagues are not listening. They are not seriously | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
coming back to be at the negotiating table. More than half | :04:15. | :04:22. | |
of your members did not ban it -- did not bother to return their | :04:22. | :04:32. | |
:04:32. | :04:33. | ||
ballot papers. If you look at Graham's constituency results... A | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
64 % of teachers did not choose to have a strike. Democracy works in | :04:38. | :04:48. | |
:04:48. | :04:50. | ||
the same way. The 64 % did not vote no, otherwise they would have done. | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
Why should teachers work until they are 68 years old and increase the | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
amount they put into their pensions? John Hutton looked into | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
public sector pensions and he came out with a report which suggested | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
that need for change. If the situation which makes the strike | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
call for more than reasonable is of this fact that the negotiations are | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
run going. The government came forward a few weeks ago with an | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
even more generous offer. The situation after the reforms has | :05:19. | :05:27. | |
been described by the pensions adviser to the last Labour | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
government as hugely generous. They are generous pensions, they are | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
much better than people in the private sector have and yet they | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
are going on strike and inconveniencing parents. We regret | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
any inconvenience to parents. But that is what a strike is about. We | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
want to know what has happened to more than �6.4 billion. Since the | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
pension scheme started, there has been a surplus of paying-in over | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
what the Treasury has paid out. Successive governments have had | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
that money and lost it, where has it gone? Your disrupting people's | :06:04. | :06:12. | |
lives next week. Would you say to the parents? But they are with us. | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
We want to get it right. But we want to get education right for | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
this country with a secure teaching force who are able to look forward | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
to a good career. This is the only way they can get their message | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
across. That is not true. But the negotiations are ongoing. The | :06:33. | :06:41. | |
result for the teachers will still be generous. I travel agents in | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
Beverly contacted me, she works longer than teachers for much less | :06:46. | :06:54. | |
money, why it should she not take a day after next Wednesday? The why | :06:54. | :07:03. | |
are so many doctors and nurses and paddock -- paramedics also taking | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
strike action? It is everybody. Government has lost its credibility | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
on pensions. The previous government spent more money on the | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
public sector than the country could afford. Now we are forced to | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
share that Burton and we will still be left with a far better pensions | :07:22. | :07:30. | |
for than those in the private sector. The teachers' pension | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
scheme has a made a profit that successive governments has stolen. | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
The 64 % of teachers who did not say yes to the strike, what do you | :07:39. | :07:47. | |
say to them? Go to work on Wednesday. I do sympathise with the | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
for teachers. But it is not a right to inconvenience the public. | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
will leave it there. It thank you. Do you support the teachers and the | :07:58. | :08:08. | |
:08:08. | :08:19. | ||
strike? We would like to hear from The strikes will be debated on the | :08:19. | :08:27. | |
politics show on Sunday here on BBC One. | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
Thank you for watching this Friday night. Still ahead, the author | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
raising thousands for charity in memory of her daughter. | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
A council is so concerned about safety that it has decided to | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
employ its own security staff to patrol the streets at night. Burton | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
Council is the first in our area to employed a private security teams | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
and says it is responding to demands from local businesses. | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
Humberside police say crime figures are down in the town. | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
It is a small North Letitia market town, but problems at the weekend | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
are casting a dark shadow over Barton's image. They smashed | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
windows. A few windows get broken. Now in the run-up to Christmas, the | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
town council want people to be reassured, so they are spending | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
�500 on patrols from a private security firm. We have no powers to | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
arrest. The men we have on actinide are on radios and they have | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
constant contact with the police. With any issues of they will be | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
straight on the radio to the police. It is about reassuring local people. | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
Clare thinks this is a good idea. She has been a victim of crime in | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
the past. The windows have been broken and at one point I could not | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
led by children out. It is needed around here. Christopher lives near | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
to a lot of the trouble. I have seen that shop window over there | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
being poured through over six times now. We spoke to the owners of the | :10:05. | :10:14. | |
shop. We have shown them the CCTV camera and they come in all of the | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
time. They are stealing things and breaking things all of the time. | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
But there are still questions over whether two wardens will make a lot | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
of difference. They will be patrolling the street and just | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
moving the trouble on elsewhere. I do not think it will stop any | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
trouble. I think they should do it. It by taking the action we have | :10:38. | :10:46. | |
done, we have freed up the police to focus on other things. We have | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
the presence we want on the beat. Hopefully that visible presence | :10:51. | :10:59. | |
will reassure people and help them to feel safe. The scheme will start | :10:59. | :11:09. | |
:11:09. | :11:10. | ||
at 10pm and run until 2am for the next four Fridays. The people here | :11:10. | :11:17. | |
hope that this will make a difference. | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
We asked Humberside police to talk was about Barton but they said that | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
no one was available. They said that they were aware of the scheme | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
and they supported the town council. But they added that statistically | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
over the last five years crime has continued to fall in Barton. | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
However they said that they recognise that some people's | :11:38. | :11:45. | |
perception might be different that. Please get in contact with us if | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
you want to comment on that story. A Hull man has been jailed for two | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
years after being found guilty of violent disorder during the | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
spending cuts protest in London in March. Joseph Binney was involved | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
in the attack on the Santander bank. He was also jailed for three months | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
for causing more than �20,000 of damage to trains and railway | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
property with graffiti. The European Union is giving a | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
million pounds to support East Yorkshire's shell fishing industry. | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
The money will be used to tell consumers about local shellfish and | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
to launch apprenticeships. East Yorkshire has the UK's largest crab | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
and lobster fishery. 50 new jobs are being created in | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
Goole through a �30 million investment in a glass factory there. | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
Guardian Industries say the money will be spent in its energy saving | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
glass department. It was opened in 2003 by an american company and | :12:35. | :12:42. | |
employs 280 people. A mother from Northern Lincolnshire, | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
whose daughter died from a sudden asthma attack, is writing a series | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
of story books to raise money in her memory. Laura McPhee from | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
Humberston was among almost 24,000 people in Lincolnshire who have | :12:51. | :13:01. | |
:13:01. | :13:13. | ||
asthma. But unlike so many others, This is how Laura's family remember | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
her - singing her favourite song. And these moments have inspired her | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
mum to fund raised in her memory. From her home in Humberston, near | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
Grimsby, Tracy Murphy has written a series of children's books to raise | :13:27. | :13:37. | |
:13:37. | :13:38. | ||
Moat -- money for asthma awareness. Had tortured we are at losing Laura, | :13:38. | :13:46. | |
in a way, if we can help others, by losing her... Hopefully we are | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
doing something good. Laura was nine when she died. She had had | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
asthma for years but when the ambulance was called last December, | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
it got stuck in 10 inches of snow. She told me she could not breathe | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
and she started to go blue. She had asthma attacks a lot, but you don't | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
think that it child can pass away from it. With the help of Laura's | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
grandad, Tracy has written the Laura Bear books. Her inspiration | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
is the teddy her daughter made just days before she died. She was | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
making jokes about the adventures of Laura Bear. I asked Tracey why | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
she didn't frighten children's books and incorporate the inhaler, | :14:33. | :14:41. | |
and that she was a poorly bare and the rest of it. We thought it would | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
get it across to the kids to make sure they take their breathers | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
wherever they go. But family have already raised �22,000 for life- | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
saving equipment at Grimsby Hospital. She is hoping her new | :14:53. | :15:02. | |
books will raise even more. We wish the family well. Thank you | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
for watching. Still ahead: The hunt is on in East Yorkshire for the | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
country's rarest mammal. And while Lincoln Cathedral's main | :15:11. | :15:20. | |
bell is falling silent after 175 years. -- wife. | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
This is a pure fluke. Denied's photograph is of Lincoln Cathedral! | :15:26. | :15:36. | |
:15:36. | :15:39. | ||
It is by Chris in Cottingham, who Cyril says that he watches with his | :15:39. | :15:46. | |
wife every night in Brittany. They have had several misty mornings | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
recently, and a white rainbow with no colours. | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
Perhaps too many glasses of wine! That is not what we expected. Maybe | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
I am stupid - I don't know the answer to that. | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
Ahead lie is a very windy one. It looks like November is going out | :16:05. | :16:12. | |
with a bang. The Met Office have a warning in place for widespread | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
gales developing later tomorrow, so you have been warned. A very windy | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
weekend. The weather will not be too bad. Some rain on Saturday | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
night and then Sunday looks fine with some sunshine, but the weekend | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
will be spoilt by the strength of the wind. These isobars are tightly | :16:33. | :16:41. | |
packed. It could get up to 65 mph across the most exposed parts of | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
the region. Some sharp showers this afternoon but apart from one a two | :16:46. | :16:52. | |
right now, we seem to be entering a dry night. It will be feeling | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
chilly. There are a number of lights being switched on this | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
evening. Cloud does increase later and perhaps the odd spot of rain in | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
the West. Temperatures will be as low as three or four degrees. The | :17:05. | :17:15. | |
sun will rise in the morning just before 7:50am. So, windy from the | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
word go across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, but apart from the | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
odd spot of rain, it is dry. Cloudy at times but the wind will help to | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
break the cloud. The best of the sunny spells will be the further | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
south you go. At the end of the day, widespread gales and temperatures | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
are looking quite good numerically, but when you add the impact of the | :17:38. | :17:45. | |
wind, it will feel quite chilly. Wet and windy weather to come on | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
Saturday Night and Sunday is very windy, but bright with some | :17:48. | :17:58. | |
:17:58. | :18:00. | ||
Poor old Cyril in Brittany was hoping for a scientific explanation | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
to restore his credibility with his neighbours! | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
The wind is quite common. Don't make it worse! Don't make it | :18:09. | :18:18. | |
worse! I apologise to any wine drinkers. | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
Thank you for all the responses on the story about concerns over plans | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
to drill for oil and gas in East Yorkshire. Rathlin Energy wants to | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
sink a 1.5 mile deep borehole Underground between Bishop Burton | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
and Walkington. The council voted to delay the plans at a meeting | :18:35. | :18:43. | |
yesterday, following fears about the environmental impact. Keith in | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
Hull says that if there is all there, it should be extracted... | :18:49. | :18:59. | |
:18:59. | :19:15. | ||
Here are some more of your Thanks for all of those. We read | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
and listen to all of the messages. Nick Barmby takes charge of his | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
first game at the KC Stadium, where whole city meet Burnley in the | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
championship tomorrow. He admitted that life had been a bit of a | :19:27. | :19:35. | |
whirlwind since his appointment last week. | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
A start -- as a start to your managerial career go, this was a | :19:38. | :19:45. | |
corker. Nick appreciated his side's defeat after Burnley last week. It | :19:45. | :19:52. | |
was the best way to answer those who doubted his experience. This is | :19:52. | :19:59. | |
a new experience and there is one of those every day. Agents are | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
ringing up bones non-stop. You have got to deal with those things, but | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
we have got people in place who cannot share the workload. -- | :20:07. | :20:14. | |
bringing up phones. With his experience as a player, he passes | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
on experience to individuals to help them out. He can do that now | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
he is manager. A bid is going to be an emotional homecoming for Nick | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
Barmby - his first game at the KC Stadium as manager of his hometown | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
club. In Lincolnshire, a tricky game for Scunthorpe United in | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
League One. They are off to Notts County. | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
Scunthorpe will be glad to see the back of November. They have not | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
managed a single win, with losses like this to Hartlepool compounded | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
by an FA Cup exit. In the non- League world, Grimsby Town head to | :20:50. | :20:56. | |

Super League fixtures have been released and Hull Kingston Rovers | :21:07. | :21:11. | |

Headingley on 3rd February, while Hull FC welcome Warrington to the | :21:16. | :21:21. | |

It may look like a rat, but this is, in fact, Britain's most endangered | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
mammal. Water voles have been dying out as their habitat has been | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
destroyed. Now, special wildlife cameras have been fitted as a farm | :21:36. | :21:41. | |

Wanted. Since April, these special cameras have been recording the | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
movements of this elusive creature on a farm near Goole. Once | :21:55. | :22:00. | |

vole is Britain's most endangered mammal, so we have got to act now | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
to stop the decline and hopefully, as well as halting the decline, | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
start to build up the numbers. Water voles' numbers have dropped | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
90% since the late 1980s. The introduction of mink, which kill | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
and, is one problem. The destruction of habitat is another. | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
This is one of the main areas we found them in. To give them a | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
fighting chance, this farmer has changed the way he works to protect | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
the ditches they live in. We are cleaning out one side of the drain | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
every two years. It is better for the water vole because they have | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
overhead cover to protect them Prom predators. Now they know whether | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
voles live, it is easier to protect them. What sort of things have you | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
been looking for? What we are looking for is, for example in the | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
bank here, Burrows. We also look for remains of where they have been | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
eating, so you can see here where they have cut it off at the end. | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
is strange to think that just a few decades ago, water voles would have | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
been a common sight in drains like this. Those days have now long gone | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
but it is hoped that projects on farms, like this one, the in the | :23:12. | :23:20. | |
Yorkshire Water vole can once again go from strength to strength. | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
Members of the public are being invited to help plan to 3,000 trees | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
near Boston this weekend. The Boston Woods Trust now has around | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
100 acres around the town, including the latest, planted by | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
school children in Wyberton. 40,000 trees have been planted in the past | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
10 years to create the new wood. Sunday's event is at Jenny's Wood. | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
Two more towns have switched on their Christmas lights. Grimsby's | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
decorations were turned on by the mayor of North East Lincolnshire, | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
Susan Pickett, last night. And crowds gathered in Boston to see | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
the unveiling of the town's new lights, which replace ones that | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
were in use for 40 years. It has been running in the new year | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
since 1835 but now, Lincoln Cathedral's main bell is to fall | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
silent just ahead of this year's festivities. Great Tom, as it is | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
known, needs repairs - and that means that 2012 may be wrong in it | :24:19. | :24:29. | |
:24:29. | :24:33. | ||
Its chimes have been echoing through the streets of Lincoln | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
since 1830. But now the Cathedral's largest bell, known as Great Tom, | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
stands silent. This is the main hammer that rings are the our | :24:45. | :24:52. | |
Balfour great Tom. It has cushioning strings. -- the hour | :24:52. | :25:02. | |

bell. Those strings are to cushion the blow on to the bell, like shock | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
absorbers on your car. Without those, the integrity of the Bell | :25:05. | :25:11. | |
could be compromised and it could crack. This Bell weighs 5.5 tonnes, | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
the equivalent of five small cars. Getting it down would be a huge job, | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
as that would mean descending a winding stone staircase of 150 | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
steps. Master craftsmen will remove the broken parts and use them as | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
templates to craft new ones. They will work against the clock to | :25:29. | :25:34. | |

which ring every 15 minutes, are still working. It is the our | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
accounts that will be missed, especially during Lincoln's | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
Christmas markets. Starting next week, it attracts thousands of | :25:52. | :25:58. | |
visitors from across the world. Nobel's! They are broken! They are! | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
Not a shame. It seems a shame because they are beatable. It is | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
the sound of England. I was having a tour round, looking at the towns | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
and cities. I am going to find a pub now. The priority is preserving | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
this ancient bell for the future, which might be in this new year | :26:18. | :26:25. | |
will sound a little different. -- might mean a. | :26:25. | :26:29. | |

After a discussion about teachers, Lesley says she has worked all her | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
life and can't retire enters she is 67. She asks what is so important | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
about teachers that they should strike and how they dare ask so -- | :27:02. | :27:08. | |
that so irresponsibly. Another view asks how a travel | :27:08. | :27:15. | |
agents' wages can be compared with teachers' wages. He they say it is | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
a ridiculous comparison. Another woman says that teachers | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
should be happy with the pension they have got. She says they should | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
be happy they have a job. Rachel says public sector workers | :27:28. | :27:31. |
