Good evening and welcome to Look North. It's been confirmed that a | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
body found in woodland in Beverley is that of missing teenager Jessica | :00:12. | :00:20. | |
Blake. The 14-year-old disappeared on Saturday. Her body was found | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
yesterday afternoon. Her disappearance sparked a huge | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
reaction from members of the local community, who volunteered to help | :00:25. | :00:33. | |
find her and last night lit candles Sarah Corker reports. Coming | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
together to pay their respects to Jessica. Close to where the | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
teenager's body was found, today friends made a small memorial to | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
her. Amongst those laying flowers, people who had never met her but | :00:43. | :00:50. | |
had helped in the search to find her. Being parents, your heart has | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
to go out to her and her family. We came down to lay some flowers and | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
show some respect, really. Described by friends as a quiet, | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
shy girl, her disappearance on Saturday sparked a major search, | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
including the use of a helicopter and specialist search teams. But on | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
Sunday, a body was discovered near to where Jessica was last seen. | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
This afternoon, Humberside Police confirmed the body found in woods | :01:15. | :01:24. | |
near Chester Avenue is that of Jessica Blake. They say they are | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
not treating her death as suspicious. This is now a community | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
in mourning. At Beverley Minster last night, 200 people attended a | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
candlelit vigil in her memory. it comes to a community, everybody | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
sort of gathers together. Last night, people just having a chance | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
to express the inexpressible, almost, where words will not do. To | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
be able to light a candle. On a special Facebook page for Jessica, | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
words of support and sympathy for her family. The outpourings of | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
concern and upset and grief seen in the community, I think, shows just | :01:59. | :02:09. | |
:02:09. | :02:10. | ||
how much the community cares. is now a town coming to terms with | :02:10. | :02:17. | |
the loss of one of their own so young. In spite of recent | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
investment on the roads, motorists in North Lincolnshire say potholes | :02:20. | :02:28. | |
are still making driving hazardous. The council says it has increased | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
its maintenance budget by nearly �1.5 million to help repair road | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
surfaces. But a recent report by the GMB union said road surfaces in | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
the area are among the most deteriorated in the country. Nicola | :02:40. | :02:49. | |
Hudson reports. Cracked, crumbling and littered with potholes. The 889 | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
miles of roads here in North Lincolnshire are rated as some of | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
the worst in the country. Potholes are having a noticeable effect on | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
business at this garage in Elsham. Last year I think we saw between 60 | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
and �70,000 worth of business directly due to tyre damage and | :03:03. | :03:13. | |
wheel damage caused by potholes in the roads. Andrew Horner hit a two- | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
inch pothole, leaving him with the repair bill running into hundreds | :03:16. | :03:24. | |
of pounds. Councils haven't got the money to repair as much as they | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
want to, but I wonder if they prioritise the right stretches of | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
road. Investment in the road network in North Lincolnshire is | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
increasing. This year's repair budget is �5.5 million, an increase | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
of nearly �1.5 million on last year's spending. Last month, the | :03:40. | :03:47. | |
council earmarked �580,000 for further improvements. Despite this, | :03:47. | :03:57. | |
:03:57. | :03:59. | ||
47% of roads in the area show some sign of deterioration. We can see | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
broken road springs, suspension unit $:/STARTFEED. For this company, | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
three call-outs each week are related to pot holes. Minor role | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
roads are more likely to catch motorists out. This causes issues | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
with suspension, coils and spring failures and steering geometry. You | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
do tend to find the Sun rural roads like this with lots of Patches that | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
have been repaired. But there are still quite a few potholes. | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
Throughout the summer, teams are out improving the road network. But | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
as the council struggles to keep on top of the ever growing list of | :04:35. | :04:43. | |
repairs, it's the motorists who are left to pick up the bill. There are | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
fresh warnings of job losses and the impact on Hull's economy if new | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
pollution control measures for ships are enforced. EU governments | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
want to restrict the sulphur content on shipping fuels. The Hull | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
Chamber of commerce is warning that extra costs will be passed on to | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
shipping and freight firms, which could mean job cuts and some | :05:01. | :05:09. | |
companies pulling out of Hull. Hull City's manager says the Tigers need | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
to take the chances they are given if they are to be successful in | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
future. Hull had plenty of shots at the Valley on Saturday but none | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
beat Charlton's goalkeeper. Amid thunder and lightning, the game | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
finished in a goalless draw. Today, Steve Bruce says it's important the | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
players turn chances into goals in tomorrow's match at Doncaster We | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
have to take our chances. It's as simple as that. We have created | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
enough away from home to come away and win the game. Particularly in | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
the second half. We must persevere with that. It is a bit of a trait | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
that has unfortunately set in. But as I said, let's hope we can start | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
taking the chances that we are creating, because the longer it | :05:49. | :05:56. | |
goes, the more frustrating it gets. Hull's match against Doncaster is | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
tomorrow night. You can listen to the action on BBC Radio Humberside. | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
They'll also have commentary from Scunthorpe's League Cup match at | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
Norwich. Kick-off in both games is at 7.45pm. Just two of our teams | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
have been in action today. It was an emphatic win for Grimbsy in the | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
conference. The Mariners beat Mansfield 4 - 1 in their first home | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
win of the season. Meanwhile, after a disappointing defeat to | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
Macclesfield at the weekend, Lincoln City managed a 1-1 draw at | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
Gateshead. It's not been the greatest Bank Holiday weather. | :06:26. | :06:34. | |
Let's see what the rest of the week It has turned out to be a typically | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
wet Bank Holiday Monday across many parts but at least tomorrow will | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
show a significant improvement. Dry with sunshine. We have further, | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
patchier outbreaks of rain spreading in from the south-west at | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
first tonight but it turns drier with clear spells and temperatures | :06:45. | :06:55. | |
:06:55. | :06:56. | ||
down to 13 or 14 degrees. Tuesday, much better. There is a chance of | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
the odd light shower but many parts will be dry and bright with some | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
decent spells of sunshine and that will make it feel pleasantly warm. | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
Let's look at tomorrow's maximum temperatures. Moderate south-west | :07:08. | :07:11. |
