Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. | :00:06. | :00:10. | |
The headlines tonight: "Serious Failings". - A report criticises | :00:10. | :00:19. | |
financial management of a group of Lincolnshire academies. I believe | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
the action plan is in place and I hope that the appropriate steps are | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
going to be made. Cleaning up following the flood - | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
now there are warnings of more to come. About nine inches of water | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
inside. Luckily with the flood defence at the front, it stopped as | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
being totally underwater. Warnings about a housing crisis | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
because of a shortage of council homes in Lincoln. | :00:43. | :00:52. | |
The new mural summing up the spirit of one of Hull's most famous roads. | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
It has already been the wettest April on record across Yorkshire. A | :00:57. | :01:07. | |
:01:07. | :01:09. | ||
The Department for Education says there have been "serious failings" | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
in the financial management of a federation of academies in | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
Lincolnshire. The Priory Federation of Academies Trust runs four sites | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
- three in Lincoln and one in Grantham. The chief executive | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
resigned last month. Today the trust has said "mistakes and errors | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
of judgements have been made" by two individuals. The police are | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
also investigating. Phil Connell reports. | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
Before his resignation, Richard Gilliland was the federation's | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
respected chief executive responsible for four academy | :01:41. | :01:48. | |
schools in Lincolnshire. Tonight, though, he's part of a police | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
investigation into the mismanagement of school finances. | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
A report for the Department for Education reveals: He spent �53,000 | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
decorating a school property for his own personal use. Employed his | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
family - including his daughter as family - including his daughter as | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
a �55,000 pound a year consultant. Had used the federation's credit | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
cards to buy sex games and other items. Used company resources to | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
buy training worth around �4,000 at an equestrian centre for his son. | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
All public money with none of the All public money with none of the | :02:19. | :02:26. | |
transactions being shown in any school accounts. The chief | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
executive employed his wife, son and daughter. I could go on. | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
Parents need to be assured that lessons have been learned here. We | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
need many paid back, without doubt and we need to make sure this can | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
never happen again. Today's report also cites the | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
trusts former finance director Steve Davies, who retired last year, | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
the report says he's currently away in the Caribbean. The trust has | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
apologised to parents tonight some have been telling us of their | :02:50. | :02:59. | |
concerns. We all thought it was mental when they said they were | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
getting a polo team. And an equestrian centre. We could not | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
really believe that he would be buying this stuff with school many | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
when they are things already wrong in our actual school. | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
In response to the government's report the chairman of the priory | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
federation has today issued this three page statement in which he | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
admits mistakes and errors of judgement had been made by two | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
senior individuals. He said changes, though, had been put in place to | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
their financial management and a new accountant had been appointed. | :03:28. | :03:38. | |
:03:38. | :03:38. | ||
He added from 85 previous audits no issues had been raised before. | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
There is an action plan in place. They will take the actions that are | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
needed and I believe there will be examined in depth again in four | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
months' time to make sure that the action plan has been acted upon and | :03:51. | :03:58. | |
these things don't happen again. With its shutter in France, the | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
federation's expenditure has already been seen as controversial. | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
Tonight's report will cause fresh concerns as Lincolnshire Police | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
begin their own investigation. The Schools Minister, Lord Hill, | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
says he thinks this is a one-off case and doesn't undermine the | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
academy ethos. I spoke with him earlier this afternoon. I think | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
that as soon as concerns are brought to the attention of the | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
department, feet wide P L A went in straightaway and carried out an | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
investigation. We have taken swift action and the chief executive have | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
gone so I do not think that shows there is a gaping hole in our | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
system. Has the shaken the department because it is not great | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
publicity for academies, is it. don't think that is right. | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
Academies have actually got more rigorous systems of financial | :04:54. | :05:02. | |
management. It doesn't sound like it with this, does it? I think that | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
what the system has demonstrated, in this case we have identified a | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
problem, it is certainly the case that you cannot have any system | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
that is 100% guaranteed to work. To pick up if someone sets about to do | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
wrong doing. You have systems that make sure that the financial | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
reporting is as rigorous as it can be. If someone in the Academy or in | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
any other school set about to do wrong doing, you cannot have a 100% | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
secure system. Opponents of the academy system claim that they are | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
not accountable enough. Hasn't this proved those fears absolutely | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
right? I don't think that at all. I think it has proved that when the | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
concerns are bought to the attention of the department, we at | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
very swiftly to address them. The fact is that the reporting system | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
and financial monitoring in place in academies are more rigorous than | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
in maintained schools. These problems are fortunately very small | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
in number, but they have happened just as they have been maintained | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
schools as in this case. And your message for the parents? The four | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
schools in this federation are excellent and the improvement in | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
performance I really welcome. That is the thing to focus on. They are | :06:25. | :06:35. | |
:06:35. | :06:36. | ||
strong schools and should be confident in knowing that. | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
I'd like to hear your thoughts on the issue of academies. Is your | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
child at one or maybe due to start one in September? Maybe you're a | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
pupil who's watching tonight? Do you think they're a good thing for | :06:46. | :06:56. | |
:06:56. | :06:57. | ||
our education system? Please contact us. I look forward to | :06:57. | :07:04. | |
hearing from year. You can read more on this story on a website. | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
In a moment: How cruise liners could help Hull to bring in more | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
tourist money. Businesses in part of East | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
Yorkshire have been clearing up after heavy rain saw the River | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
Derwent burst its banks. There's been more than 40 millimetres of | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
rain in some places over the last twenty four hours. The worst | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
affected area was Stamford Bridge, where people staying at one caravan | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
park were asked to leave for their own safety. Our environment | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
correspondent Siobhan Robbins has spent the day there. Siobhan, | :07:35. | :07:45. | |
:07:45. | :07:46. | ||
what's the situation there now? It is actually just started to rain | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
here, bad news for Stamford Bridge, one of the worst-hit areas in our | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
patch. The water level has gone down a little. At lunchtime the | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
level was about here, after a few hours of pumping it has gone all | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
the way back to hear. It is quite shallow at the front and a little | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
higher further back. Most of the flooding in Stamford Bridge seems | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
to have been isolated to this area around the River Derwent and the | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
caravan park behind me. Much of this morning was spent clearing up. | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
This is the result of one of the wettest April as on record. After | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
weeks of heavy rain, the River Derwent broke its banks in part to | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
Stamford Bridge. Tenants at a nearby caravan -- caravan site were | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
forced to leave. The warden came in at 8:30am and | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
said they had been advised by the fire brigade to evacuate the site | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
because in the next 12 hours it would probably end of the site. | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
was going to say it -- stay on the best of the toilets my back up. | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
Around the corner, the local pub had been hit, but the landlord was | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
prepared. We are used to it by now. As soon as the pump start, half of | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
this water will have gone. A couple of hours and hope the back to | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
normal. Stamford Bridge has always been prone to flooding so many were | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
not surprised. Norman Smith watched all morning as though water lapped | :09:16. | :09:24. | |
up the drive of his home. First thing this morning it was running | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
along the brickwork here and now it is going down very slightly. It is | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
getting better. Proms have been pushing the water back into the | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
will rebel all day and away from the town. The race is on to remove | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
all of this flooding before there is more rain. | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
As you can see, the river behind me is still quite high and this area | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
is on a flood warning which means that action needs to be taken like | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
the pumping that is happening there. Around the low-lying areas there is | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
a flood alert which means the Environment Agency will be my | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
knitting those areas and in Lincolnshire, the RAF are just | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
three mm of their record rainfall level and there are concerns that | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
if there is more rain on the weekend, situations like this could | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
get worse. Thank you very much indeed. Paul | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
will have the forecast in a moment. A man has been jailed for 12 months | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
after he abandoned his car on a railway track during a high-speed | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
police chase through Hull. This police footage shows the chase, | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
which took place through residential areas at more than | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
twice the speed limit. 41-year-old Gavin Steed drove onto the train | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
line, an approaching train was only stopped after a police helicopter | :10:35. | :10:45. | |
:10:45. | :10:46. | ||
alerted the driver. Steed had admitted all the charges. A train | :10:46. | :10:54. | |
travelling from Lincoln station has been derailed after a landslide. It | :10:54. | :11:02. | |
is thought that a number of people have suffered minor injuries. | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
A A �44 million reservoir is to be built near Lincoln. Anglian Water | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
says it will supply homes and businesses in the city. It is | :11:10. | :11:20. | |
:11:20. | :11:22. | ||
suspected to be finished in the next two years. | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
There's a warning this evening that a "drastic shortage" of council | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
houses in Lincoln will lead to a crisis in the city. It's one of | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
many issues being debated by politicians ahead of the local | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
elections next week. Managers at the YMCA have told the BBC that | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
unless there is more investment in housing stock the crisis will only | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
get worse. Sherron Edwards reports. Been Clemence moved into the | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
Lincoln YMCA a year ago after becoming homeless. He said he is | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
now ready to move on but is stuck because of a lack of council | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
housing. He has been warned that he could face a wait of three years. | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
If I could move out now and free up the space and free up the support, | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
I definitely would. Obviously circumstances are, I can't because | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
of the waiting-list. The Lincoln YMCA offers more than a place to | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
live, it helps people look for work and permanent accommodation. It is | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
fall and has a waiting list. It is seeing more people stuck in the | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
system waiting for a council house. If I were to use the word | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
catastrophic, that would be a strong word in relation to the | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
situation, but across the country there is a dire need to enable | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
people to be able to move be moved from places like the YMCA. | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
Lincoln? There is more accommodation required and | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
currently there is a dry sticks shortage. There are around 2500 | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
people waiting for a property owned by the city council. The authority | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
has seen its stock dwindle under the right-to-buy scheme. 20 years | :12:54. | :13:01. | |
ago, it own 20,000 homes today, just 8000. Housing is one of the | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
most important issues facing the authority which goes to the polls | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
next week. One third of the seats are up for re-election this year. | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
Currently Labour controls the authority with 17 seats. The | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
Conservatives have 14. One Liberal Democrat and one independent. | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
would look at all the empty properties around the city and | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
bring those back into use. That would read it -- reduce our housing | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
issue by a considerable amount. key theme for us has got to be | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
helping people with the impact of the current recession and that | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
means, essentially, addressing the housing crisis. There is no reason | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
at all now the government has bought in a better policy for | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
letting us keep council house rents that we can use that income to | :13:51. | :13:57. | |
build more council homes. This week, the Lincoln YMCA moved five people | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
from the hostel into this city centre house, but there are many | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
other people waiting for the authorities to build enough homes | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
all. They could be waiting a long time. | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
And if you want more information on the local elections next week, | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
there's much more on the website at bbc.co.uk/vote2012. | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
Still ahead tonight: The little football club ready to join its | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
bigger neighbours. The art work bringing back memories | :14:24. | :14:34. | |
:14:34. | :14:36. | ||
The Port of Hull has ambitions to become an important cruise ship | :14:36. | :14:46. | |
:14:46. | :14:58. | ||
Peter says, airport is spot on with his forecast. | :14:58. | :15:07. | |
A goodness me, can I keep that? Do you want to read the forecast? | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
Do you want to read the forecast? Watchet tonight! Let's have a look | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
at the headline for the next 24 hours. It is a very unsettled one. | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
Tomorrow will be the best day of the weekend with a lot of cloud, | :15:20. | :15:27. | |
but hopefully brightening up after the weekend. Look what happens on | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
Sunday, an intense low-pressure bringing heavy rain and strong wind. | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
The Met Office have a warning in place already. Yorkshire has had | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
its wettest April on record so far and Lincolnshire will follow. An | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
incredible month. You can see the cloud but bought the rain today. It | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
brightened up at times and has not been too bad. Overnight, the cloud | :15:54. | :16:01. | |
will thicken with it some pieces of rain especially across Lincolnshire. | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
Further north, a lot of drier weather to come. Temperatures | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
around 5 or 6 degrees. The sun will rise in the morning at 5:31am and | :16:14. | :16:21. | |
setting at 8:28pm. A largely cloudy start. I think there will be a | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
little bit of patchy light rain across Lincolnshire. And in | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
consider -- M insignificant amount. Skies brightening across Yorkshire | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
with hazy sunshine coming through. Eight chilly wind coming in from | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
the north-east. We will seek top temperatures around eight or nine | :16:42. | :16:52. | |
:16:52. | :16:52. | ||
degrees. Who might squeeze 10 Celsius further north. The early | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
warning for heavy rain on Sunday from the Met Office. It looks to be | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
a miserable day with gale-force wind in exposed places. They could | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
be localised flooding to come, but next week shows a big improvement. | :17:07. | :17:16. | |
Things settle down. I saw that coming. We got away with | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
I saw that coming. We got away with that. Go a way! | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
Have a nice weekend. It is hoped that the increase and the number of | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
cruises in Hull could bring millions of pounds into the city. | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
The liner Ocean Countess has been visiting the city to announce it is | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
to increase the number of sailings. The ship's current destinations | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
include Scandinavia, Northern France and the Channel Islands. | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
Tourism bosses say cruise ships have the potential to significantly | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
contribute to Hull's local economy. Here's our Business Correspondent | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
Paul Murphy. Cruising is a multi-million-pound | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
industry and Hull wants a slice of the action. 700 passengers were | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
returning from a week-long cruise this morning. The first time we | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
have been on a cruise and it was wonderful. Out of this world. | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
are a lot of people that have come on this simply because it was easy | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
to get to. The industry is more readily associated with ports like | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
Southampton, but interest in sailing from Hull has been growing. | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
This year, around 15,000 passengers are expected to travel through a | :18:23. | :18:31. | |
hole but the ambition is to do things on a big gap scale. Just | :18:31. | :18:40. | |
today we are turning around 1500 passengers, 70 -- 700 this morning, | :18:40. | :18:47. | |
700 this afternoon. All of which I using local facilities in the towel. | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
And across the Pennines they have already shown how cruise ships can | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
transform an economy. Welcome to be sunny city of Liverpool! Here, much | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
larger vessels carry up to 2000 passengers each. The industry is | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
worth millions. You get people coming to stay for one or two | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
nights before. You also get the opportunity for maritime industries. | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
But something needs looking at, maintenance on the ship, | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
potentially feed supplies, there are other areas that will benefit | :19:21. | :19:28. | |
from those kinds of things. That is why in Hull they have been giving | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
serious thought to the idea of the best boat cruise terminal close to | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
the city centre will. The cruise sector is a massive growing | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
industry in the UK. We have got longer term aspirations for a city | :19:42. | :19:49. | |
cruise terminal. In the meantime, we are starting small. We seem to | :19:49. | :19:56. | |
be having success. Tonight, another 700 passengers were boarding the | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
ocean Countess. This is a local industry in its infancy, but one | :20:01. | :20:08. | |
with big ambitions. Hull City manager Nick Barmby says | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
he wants up to six new players in his squad for next season. The | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
Tigers just missed out on the play- offs this season despite this win | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
against Nottingham Forest last weekend and Barmby believes the | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
squad will have to be strengthened this summer. A good four or five | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
editions, we need to be stronger. It caught up on us in March with | :20:29. | :20:35. | |
the amount of games, so we know our targets and we know how strong the | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
squad needs to be. Well, of all our teams, it's | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
possibly Gainsborough Trinity who are facing the biggest and most | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
important tomorrow. The non league side need just one point from their | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
game at Altrincham to qualify for the promotion play offs. It means | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
they could be facing neighbours Lincoln City and Grimsby Town next | :20:50. | :21:00. | |
:21:00. | :21:00. | ||
season, as Simon Clark reports. Gainsborough, a humble ground for a | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
humble team, but could it now be hosting clashes against its | :21:04. | :21:11. | |
neighbours Lincoln City and Grimsby Town? Promotion seems an accessible | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
when Brian Little was sacked weeks into the season after a poor start, | :21:14. | :21:21. | |
but since Steve took over, there has been a transformation. The | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
former Scunthorpe United player found the winning formula. I took | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
over the reins as a caretaker and it was a joy because I live in | :21:30. | :21:37. | |
Gainsborough. Everything felt right for us. We were on a great run and | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
only lost once in 11 games to start with. Trinity needs just 11 points | :21:43. | :21:49. | |
in a dramatic race for promotion. This is no collection of butchers, | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
bakers and candlestick makers. Local talent is sprinkled with | :21:53. | :22:01. | |
League experience like shame Clarke and X tiny gap Ryan Williams. | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
them to come here, it would be fantastic for the town and great | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
for the football club. I think it is something they can be proud of. | :22:10. | :22:16. | |
Peter Swan bankrolls the club and he has done the maths. We had a | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
good result earlier in the season and it is in our hands. If we win | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
the match or draw the match, we are in the play-offs. We don't have to | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
rely on anyone else. Preparations for this game have been far from | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
ideal. Last night, an artificial service in the town was the only | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
patch of ground these hopefuls could find. | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
There's full commentary of Gainsborough's big match tomorrow. | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
The match at Altrincham will be on BBC Lincolnshire. The game kicks | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
off at 3om. Before that, fans of Lincoln City | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
can listen to the Imps game against Ebbsfleet. | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
On BBC Radio Humberside there will be coverage of Hull City's match | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
against West Ham. And Scunthorpe United's home game against | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
Bournemouth. Saturday Sport will begin at noon | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
with Grimsby Town's match against Southport. | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
A mural showing the life and times of one street in Hull is almost | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
finished - 20 years after it was first started. This huge painting | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
is aimed at capturing the spirit of Hessle Road - which was once the | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
very heart and soul of the city's fishing industry. Simon Spark has | :23:23. | :23:33. | |
:23:33. | :23:34. | ||
been along to see the final touches. It is an idea thought of 20 years | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
ago, but only now or is it getting its finishing touches. It is aim to | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
capture the spirit of one of the most famous roads in Hull, has all | :23:44. | :23:53. | |
road. Once the heart of Hull -- Hull's fishing city and most | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
importantly its people. A History George Michie thought was too | :23:57. | :24:05. | |
important to forget. I just wanted to capture the spirit of the road. | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
Hessle Road was a separate community and it is a shame if | :24:10. | :24:17. | |
everything about Hessle Road is forgotten. We remember Lou blocker, | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
she voted for the rights of the trawler men to get better | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
facilities. But there is still one more face to paint and that will be | :24:27. | :24:36. | |
of Jack Harrison, that legendary X Hull FC player who scored 52 tries | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
in one season. He was killed in World War One, but was awarded the | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
Cross for bravery. It is a bit of a challenge trying to paint from a | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
black-and-white with the Tote's -- with no tones and skin colours, but | :24:52. | :24:59. | |
an enjoyable challenge. We were there to see it take shape. It is | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
absolutely great. Brilliant. It may be finished much later than they | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
had hoped, but the memories painted here will keep the spirit of has | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
all rode a live for many more years to come. The man who thought of the | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
idea will be there too. -- Hessle Road. | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines: | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
A report find serious failings in the financial management of a group | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
of Lincolnshire academies. Outlook for tomorrow: Most places | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
dry with some sunny intervals although one or two light showers | :25:31. | :25:41. | |
:25:41. | :25:42. | ||
are possible. Maximum temperature 10 Celsius. | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
That Academy story, an interesting e-mail here. I am a teacher and I | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
would like to express my dismay at the findings today. It is never | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
could -- negative publicity where staff and students give everything | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
to achieve good results. It is clear our results have improved | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
since becoming an academy. That is from a teacher. | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
From a 12 year-old: The Priory has supported me through my GCSEs and I | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
cannot fault the school and its teachers for the outstanding | :26:16. | :26:20. |
