Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight: | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
Dozens of workers at a North East Lincolnshire oil refinery walkout | :00:12. | :00:19. | |
in protest over pay and conditions. The employers need to set up an | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
agreement on their own without negotiations with the unions. | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
guilty - the Lincolnshire woman who has changed her plea and admitted | :00:29. | :00:36. | |
to murdering her boyfriend. Ret out of the wall using a stolen | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
forklift - these try to steal a village cash point. | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
And a winter Wonderland was almost 100 Christmas trees on display end | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
as Scunthorpe church. And a warning of severe gales | :00:48. | :00:58. | |
:00:58. | :00:59. | ||
tomorrow. All the latest in 15 minutes. | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
Good evening. Workers at an oil refinery in North East Lincolnshire | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
say they are being forced to give up their travel expenses and also | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
signed an no-strike clause as part of a new deal, which they say it is | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
unfair. Today, around 100 workers took part in an unofficial strike | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
action at the Conoco Lindsey oil refinery plant. It has been part of | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
a nationwide day of protests by contractors who are in dispute over | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
changes to the terms and conditions of their contracts. | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
Standing up for the rights was were standing in the freezing cold to | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
these men. Many of them and electricians at the Conoco Lindsey | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
oil refinery. It is not the first time they have come out about this. | :01:43. | :01:52. | |
They are refusing to sign a new deal with their deal with their | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
employers, Balfour Beatty. One of seven major contractors introducing | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
a new nationwide agreement. They are making massive profits. They | :02:03. | :02:12. | |
are looking at a potential 26% pay cut. Strikers say they eat -- | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
employers are cutting pay and conditions. Changes to travel | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
allowances could stop expenses being given, and a no-strike clause | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
will be added to the workers' contracts. They say these are being | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
forced without negotiations with unions. There were some heated | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
moments between the workers outside and those trying to get them, but | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
most of the protest was peaceful. There are fears within the industry | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
that this may spread to other agreements. It is important that | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
people going to work understand why we're here. In a statement, the | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
trade organisation representing the company's told us, no one will take | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
a pay cut. In fact 30% will see an increase in their pay packets and | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
no one will lose their jobs. HVCA said the agreement was about | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
responding to changes in the construction industry and added, if | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
we do not evolve, then we cannot remain competitive and we could see | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
British firms losing jobs to foreign contractors. The | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
consultation into the changes will end next month and unless employers | :03:15. | :03:23. | |
can, but the new offer, they say they'll be out again. | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
Earlier I spoke to Lee Whiting who is an employment lawyer in Hull. I | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
asked him if the company were within their rights to do this. | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
companies are entitled to make changes if they have a business | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
reason for doing it. And they have negotiated with the trade union and | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
they have consulted with the employee is, they are able to do it. | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
If the employees do not accept it and the employer has decided to | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
dismiss, in that situation they were -- would have claims to unfair | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
dismissal. These are not contract workers. You would think they would | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
have more secure rights. They have the right to declare unfair | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
dismissal. If employers are dealing with this properly, then employers | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
are entitled to dismiss. In that situation, if the employer has done | :04:14. | :04:22. | |
everything, the employee has left without anything. Are the Orchid to | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
introduce an no-strike clause? generally speaking, they can do | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
this if they have a pressing business reason. If they consult | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
with the employees and trade unions, then generally speaking employers | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
are able to do this. If I say to you are not going to get any | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
expenses because we could lose jobs to a dog. Is that a good enough | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
reason? That could be a good enough reason. These depend on their own | :04:52. | :05:00. | |
facts. It will be a question of fact it's. In a way, employees, in | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
the current climate, they are over a barrel? The problem a lot of | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
employers are fizzing is that if they do not accept these changes, | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
if they do not except these changes, they are aware they could be made | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
redundant. Employers will be thinking that within the current | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
climate, how quickly will I get another job? So they are between a | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
rock and a hard place. Thank you very much. | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this one. As the | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
company say, they need to stay competitive. Workers say they need | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
to protect their terms and conditions. Maybe you are one of | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
those workers. If you want to contact us police do the following | :05:49. | :05:59. | |
:05:59. | :06:07. | ||
ways: -- pleas to do in the following ways: Thank you for | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
getting in touch about the workers who have agreed to take a temporary | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
reduction in their pay to save money at their company. | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
More than 100 staff at Caparo Merchant Bar went home yesterday | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
and will not return until January. Thank you for the females and texts | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
on this one. Steer from grounds may says: It is | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
not a good thing to take a pay cut. How do you pay your mortgage if you | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
take one? Marc Welby tweeted: I think it is | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
great that the employer, union and employees are working together to | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
save jobs. I would do the same thing if needed. | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
And Cowell says: I do not thank the workers have much choice. I think | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
they're doing it is and a job. Then a moment: Safe and warm for | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
Christmas. The people who have been taken off the streets thighs to a | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
multi-million-pound homeless shelter. | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
The girlfriend of a man from Lincolnshire who was locked in a | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
store cupboard and had his business set on fire, has admitted murdering | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
him. Julie Dixon had initially claimed last intruders had attacked | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
the couple. But today, the jury at Lincoln Crown Court had been told | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
she had changed her plea and was guilty of murder. Anne-Marie Tasker | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
was in court. How surprising read these revelations in court today? | :07:34. | :07:41. | |
There was as sense of shock in the Court this afternoon when Julie | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
Dixon's lawyer stood up and told the court she had changed to plead | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
and was now admitting to killing her long-term boyfriend. Julie | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
Dixon broke down in tears and she was visibly shaking as the court | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
heard that after months of blaming others, she was finally admitting | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
to murdering 46-year-old David Twigg. | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
To outsiders they seemed a happy couple. But today it was revealed | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
that David Twigg had in fact been killed by his long-term girlfriend, | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
Julie Dixon. David Twigg died after a fire in his business on March | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
13th. He had been locked inside the store cupboard on -- and the | :08:22. | :08:31. | |
premises set alight. The amount of poisonous gases proved fatal. He | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
was a much-respected businessman and trivets were paid to them at St | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
Peter's and St Paul's. At first David Twigg's are often seemed | :08:41. | :08:50. | |
:08:51. | :08:53. | ||
distraught at his death. Telling the BBC at the time: As police | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
began to scour the murder scene, Julie Dixon told officers the | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
couple had been attacked by two last intruders. | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
Later she changed her story and told the police there couple had | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
made a suicide pact. But investigators did not buy either a | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
story. The prosecution told the Crown Court, Julie Dixon could not | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
admit to David Twigg that the business was in financial dire | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
straits. She was so reluctant to tell, she took his life. But this | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
case is far from over yet. Lawyers will be back in court tomorrow | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
morning to tell the judge why Julie Dixon has now decided to change her | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
see and to give her version of events what did happen back in | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
March. But those legal discussions may take some time. So this evening | :09:44. | :09:52. | |
we are no clear or when Julie Dixon will be sentenced for this crime. | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
Two people have been arrested in connection with an attempted | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
robbery at a bank in Coningsby. Lincolnshire police believe that a | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
stolen forklift was used to try and remove a cash machine at the Lloyds | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
Bank. This was the scene that met | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
villagers in Coningsby this morning. Overnight, this local bank was | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
attacked when thieves, using a stolen forklift truck, wreck their | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
cash machine out of the wall. Everybody this morning and are | :10:22. | :10:30. | |
angry about it. I do not know what to make a vet. It is a big surprise | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
and a big shock. We do not normally get anything like this in the | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
village. What is the point of trying to break into a bank? It is | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
stupid. Police say four men are believed to being involved in the | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
robbery but they were disturbed before they could take the cash | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
machine away. Two men in their 40s have been arrested and questioned | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
in relation to the incident. We do not believe they have got away with | :10:57. | :11:07. | |
:11:07. | :11:09. | ||
anything yet. Although this type of crime is rare, it is not the first | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
time something like this has happened in her area. Two years ago, | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
this I can Winterton was robbed and there was a similar incident in | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
Woodhall spa the following year. Despite this, police are keen to | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
reassure residents. Con in spree is a very quiet place to live. No one | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
should be frightened of this. -- Coningsby. Police will now speak to | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
other police forces to see if there are links with any attempted | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
robberies across the country. People living in the centre of | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
Immingham are hoping that the sound of lorries driving down the road | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
will soon be a distant memory. Work is scheduled to start on the new | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
they won a Tea link road next year after funding for it was announced | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
last week. The A 180 link. Having one of the country's major | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
ports means they major amount of heavy traffic on new roads. Now | :12:06. | :12:14. | |
with an agreement for the No -- new link roads, it means Immingham | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
could soon see a change. One area that will benefit is here. They get | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
lorries coming through here 24 hours and hours a day and it is | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
making residents' lives a misery. If there is another one going. And | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
then another one. For the last seven years, this woman and her | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
husband have seen the traffic outside their front door or crow | :12:37. | :12:44. | |
too reliant was levels. It is thundering, vibration, we have to | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
have your TV on loud. Sometimes the property feels like it is never | :12:49. | :12:56. | |
still, because of the vibrations. It must have quadrupled since the | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
time we came here. Everyone along this road is affected by it. At the | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
moment, some lorries travel along this road to reach the docks. | :13:06. | :13:16. | |
:13:16. | :13:19. | ||
Instead they will be able to use the A 173. We come to Immingham | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
docks. Any by passes will get us there fast. Here are not going | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
through the villages. It is good for them. If it takes away all the | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
heavy traffic, it will be heaven. Simple as that. North-east | :13:35. | :13:43. | |
Lincolnshire council say there are other benefits as well. It will | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
allow the area will develop. It is a key scheme for the Humber area, | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
north-east Lincolnshire and it is key for business. The work will | :13:53. | :14:02. | |
cost 65 �3 billion and will be completed by the summer of 2014. | :14:03. | :14:11. | |
It is nearly quarter to seven. We will be live at the KC Stadium | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
as Hull City look to build over their win over the last boss. | :14:17. | :14:27. | |

And the church opening its doors to If you have a photograph, send it | :14:30. | :14:37. | |

The Met Office have got a warning in place for some very strong winds | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
are developing. Could be severe gales, and that mean gusts in | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
excess of 60 miles an hour, and I wouldn't be surprised if parts of | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
Yorkshire get up to 70 miles an hour. They could beat a problem for | :15:18. | :15:25. | |
the commuter. You can see why a very deep area of low pressure is | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
closely packing together. By the end of the day, those isobars get | :15:30. | :15:38. | |
tighter still. They risk of severe gales as the tomorrow develops. It | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
is a windy enough at the moment. One or two showers have crept in | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
from the West. Other than that, it is dry, and should stay like that | :15:48. | :15:54. | |
for much of tonight. The winds will ease a little bit. It clouds over | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
later, and there will be patchy rain spreading in from the West. | :15:59. | :16:09. | |
Temperatures down to 2-three degrees. This summer will rise at | :16:09. | :16:17. | |
8am. So, it looks as if it will be wet at times tomorrow. Patchy | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
outbreaks of rain in the morning, but then as we head through the | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
afternoon, a narrow band of rain per share them from the north-west. | :16:27. | :16:36. | |

21 homeless people will be spending Christmas in warm, safe | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
accommodation, thanks to a new centre that has opened in Lincoln. | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
The charity behind the scheme is helping them to make a new start, | :17:18. | :17:28. | |
:17:28. | :17:31. | ||
and aims to eradicate rough sleeping in the city completely. | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
Proud of a new home, Katie couldn't be happier to shore of the flat she | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
is sharing with her partner at the Pathways Centre in Lincoln. Here is | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
my kitchen. After losing her job and home, Katie was left with | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
nowhere to go. If I wasn't here now, I could be on the streets, sleeping | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
rough, not eating, and basically living like a homeless person. | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
centre will provide up to 21 home as people with temporary come at -- | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
accommodation, but this is more than just a roof over people's | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
heads. The idea is to help people regain independence and get back on | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
their feet. Last week, there were 72 people registered as homeless in | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
Lincoln. This has attracted high- profile campaigners, including the | :18:24. | :18:31. | |
Bishop's former Bishop. Today, the leader of the city council formally | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
opened the new centre. In talking to some of the residents, they are | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
so pleased with the facilities that gives and dignity, because the | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
standards are good here, the facilities are good, they feel that | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
perhaps for the first time they are valued. They feel that their needs | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
are being recognised and met. Residents will get help finding | :18:53. | :19:00. | |
work, and the opportunity to learn new skills. The charity behind the | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
Pathways Centre hopes it will put an end to rough sleeping in Lincoln. | :19:05. | :19:13. | |
I think it tears realistic. The quality of accommodation is good. - | :19:13. | :19:23. | |
:19:23. | :19:27. | ||
- it is. Residents will be able to stay for up to two years. | :19:27. | :19:36. | |
And that's another one you may want to talk to us about tonight. E-mail | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
or text me and we'll have some of your thoughts before the end of the | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
programme. The Red Arrows have been cleared to | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
fly again by the Ministry of Defence. The display team, based at | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
RAF Scampton, had been grounded since the death of Flight | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
Lieutenant Sean Cunningham last month. Investigations are ongoing | :19:52. | :19:59. | |
into the accident which involved the ejection seat in his Hawk jet. | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
Hull Transport Interchange was evacuated for an hour this morning | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
because of a suspected gas leak. There were reports of a smell of | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
gas on the rail platforms, and passengers hoping to travel on | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
trains and buses were told to leave the station. The Interchange re- | :20:13. | :20:20. | |
opened just before 11am after engineers inspected the site. | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
Another big crowd is expected at the KC stadium in Hull tonight as | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
Hull City face Birmingham City. The Tigers won on Saturday, and they | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
are hoping for more of the same tonight to move further towards the | :20:32. | :20:41. | |
:20:42. | :20:43. | ||
promotion places. With anticipation building at the | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
KC Stadium, fans are confident the Tigers could pick up the full three | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
points to propel them back into the play-off places. The team are young. | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
They will develop. They are doing well at the moment, and are trying | :20:58. | :21:08. | |
:21:08. | :21:08. | ||
hard. They are in for a chance of a play-off place. I think Barmby will | :21:08. | :21:17. | |
make a good manager. This weekend's victory ended a run of Galat | :21:17. | :21:27. | |
:21:27. | :21:28. | ||
consecutive defeats. It has given the sides a confidence boost. -- | :21:28. | :21:36. | |
ended a run of two consecutive defeats. We now have to kick on. | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
This is an opportunity far asked. The last time these teams met was | :21:42. | :21:52. | |
:21:52. | :21:53. | ||
MP Premier League. -- in the Premier League. It is their best | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
equivalent return for seven years. Victory tonight would make it three | :21:58. | :22:07. | |
wins out of five. After relegation, Chris Hughton's side have won just | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
one, and slipped from eighth place to 14th. Both teams was seen this | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
as a must-win match to keep their promotion hopes on track. | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
Our reporter, Sarah Corker, is live at the KC Stadium now. Sarah, will | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
there be a big crowd there tonight do you think? Despite the cold | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
weather, fans are in high spirits. We are expecting a crowd of 17,000 | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
people, and their fans know a good set of results in December will put | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
them in a strong position in the play-offs. I am joined by Peter | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
Swann. Just how much of a challenge will Birmingham pose? You only have | :22:49. | :22:59. | |
:22:59. | :23:00. | ||
to look at the league table. It won't be easy. It hasn't had a bad | :23:00. | :23:07. | |
start, but how important are the next few weeks? That is the big | :23:08. | :23:15. | |
thing, caretaker boss. The important fact is if he can get the | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
results. With the kick-off in a less than an hour, you can see | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
behind me it is starting to fill up, and fans here are confident that | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
they can string together a winning run, and bad in the next week or so, | :23:29. | :23:36. | |
we showed no have they are doing. And you can follow all the action | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
from that match on BBC Radio Humberside. The team are on-air now | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
with Sportstalk. A Lincolnshire stately home built | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
in the 1600s is to be brought into the 21st century with a state-of- | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
the-art heating system. Belton House, near Grantham, is installing | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
it to help control the humidity in the house. Staff say the �500,000 | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
scheme will help preserve its priceless contents. | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
If you've not got the Christmas spirit yet, a trip to Scunthorpe | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
this weekend might just do the trick. 80 decorated trees are being | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
displayed in the town. It has been described as a magical sight and | :24:15. | :24:25. | |
the perfect start to Christmas. From the outside of this church, | :24:25. | :24:31. | |
there are few clues as to what lies inside. Open the door, and enter a | :24:31. | :24:41. | |

best displays of its kind. This year, up 80 decorated trees have | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
different themes. This one is all about football. Some are original, | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
some are traditional, and some are not. This one, for example, is | :25:03. | :25:10. | |
highly original. The Christmas tree exhibition that will be raising | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
funds for Scunthorpe's Hospice, which, this morning, it was | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
preparing for Christmas as well. Last year, nearly �4,000 was raised. | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
It is great fun for all people involved, and everyone who goes | :25:25. | :25:33. | |
along. It generates cash for a great cause. There are 80 trees | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
being decorated. But this one is extra special. Maureen was a | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
patient at a hospice. Each time I put up or born, I think of a member | :25:44. | :25:54. | |
:25:54. | :25:55. | ||
of the group who has got breast cancer. -- poked a bauble on. We | :25:55. | :26:02. | |
