North. The headlines tonight. MPs vote against plans which could have | :00:07. | :00:15. | |
secured massive investment on the banks of the Humber. You make your | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
money back after 15 years and not five minutes. We do need good | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
long-term commitment from the government. The holiday park | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
homeowners fighting to avoid being evicted by their local council. How | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
businesses across East Yorkshire are being told to get on board with the | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
Tour de France. And as the sun comes out, so do the holidaymakers. | :00:33. | :00:41. | |
Lincolnshire basks in the first signs of summer. Much more Clyde | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
tomorrow but the fine weather will last for a few days. All of the | :00:45. | :00:55. | |
:00:55. | :00:57. | ||
gambling with hundreds of jobs in Hull after a decision which puts | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
further doubt over investment in the Humber. MPs have been asked to sign | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
up to a long-term commitment to renewable energy - a commitment | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
which would secure jobs and businesses in the Humber's Green | :01:09. | :01:19. | |
:01:19. | :01:20. | ||
Port. But this afternoon they voted against the plan. One Hull MP says | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
the money and the jobs may now go abroad. More from our Business | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
Correspondent, Paul Murphy. It took less than 15 minutes for MPs to | :01:29. | :01:38. | |
throw out the attempt to change the energy bill. 267... 290. Why does | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
this matter? These are the plans for an offshore wind turbine factory in | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
the hole and the one thing investors behind this want is certainty that | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
the government will commit to renewable energy in the long term. | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
Today, they did not get that. have billions of pounds of why that | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
investment looking at this, you make the money back after 13 years and | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
not five minutes so you need that good, solid commitment from | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
government for carbon reduction because that is the strong | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
argument. A seminar on green jobs, part of business week. The local | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
colleges are gearing up for what it calls a new industrial revolution, | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
but nothing is certain. These are big issues and I can understand the | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
government has to make a decision that all of us have to live with for | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
13 years and that could it have a huge impact. Renewable energy would | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
be good for people like me, school leavers, going for apprenticeships, | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
who can transfer from one industry to another. All of these skills I | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
have learned, if renewable energy is required, I should have a good basis | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
for moving on. But it has been claimed that today's vote could send | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
green jobs abroad. Siemens is very clear and that is a problem because | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
the government has not been consistent in their reproach. | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
Siemens and other companies have been concerned they are not getting | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
a clear message of commitment. those pinning hopes on green energy | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
jobs, this will be a disappointing day. If the industry is to create | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
large-scale opportunities on the Humber, investors will need more | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
positive signals coming from Westminster. I asked the | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
Conservative MP for Brigg and Goole, Andrew Percy, why he's against any | :03:40. | :03:50. | |
:03:50. | :03:52. | ||
commitment to end coal and gas energy by 2030. Because we do not | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
know what decarbonisation targets would mean or if they are | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
deliverable. And in any event, there will be a big expansion of green | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
energy so it is unnecessary. have little belief in green and wind | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
energy? Remember, thousands of people in the region work in the | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
coal and gas industry and they will continue with that and I don't want | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
them put out of work but the bill that is before Parliament sets out | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
the subsidy system for the next few years and it is part of expanding | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
green energy, not one or the other. This is your chance to show public | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
commitment to securing jobs that this area needs. We will get the | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
growth in green energy but I am not prepared to say to the people who | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
put me in Parliament that at any cost and any prize on fuel bill, we | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
should set an arbitrary target for 2030 and ends: Gas generation based | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
on technology we don't know is available and we don't know the | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
cost. This would give a chance to encourage Siemens and others to | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
commit to the Humber region? money is there for the energy | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
subsidies, this is about a fraudulent debate about whether we | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
have green jobs. We will, but what this red herring of an amendment | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
says if we set some arbitrary target that could peppered the area with | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
wind farms, and is based on technology we don't know will work, | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
and... Lord Haskins says it is only a small window of opportunity that | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
the government has too proved its commitment to green energy and you | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
are not doing that. I don't agree with him on this. You only have to | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
listen to business leaders who say that the bill is welcomed anyway. | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
ABP did not sign the recent letter demanding MPs vote for this so there | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
will be an expansion and this is a red herring and most people want | :05:55. | :06:03. | |
their fuel bills kept time. We'll Siemens come? It is there, with or | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
without this and I hope they will. Very much so. Let us know what you | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
think about this story. Would you like to see a more definite | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
commitment from the Government to green energy or are they right to be | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
cautious? Does the future lie in wind turbines or is there still a | :06:18. | :06:28. | |
:06:28. | :06:41. | ||
place for more traditional coal and the former soldiers being helped | :06:41. | :06:51. | |
:06:51. | :06:54. | ||
into a new career. People living at an East Yorkshire holiday park have | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
begun telling a government planning inspector why they should be allowed | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
to stay in their chalets all year round. About 70 owners at | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
Lakeminster Park near Beverley have been told they'll be evicted because | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
the site was only granted permission for holiday homes. Crispin Rolfe | :07:05. | :07:13. | |
reports. Are they expensive static caravans or 78 permanent homes for | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
more than 100 pensioners? That's the decision for a planning inspector at | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
the end of a two-week inquiry into Lakeminster Park. People living at | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
the Woodmansey site south of Beverley say they were sold | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
properties to live in all year round rather than holiday homes in which | :07:27. | :07:37. | |
:07:37. | :07:40. | ||
they can't. All of our money has gone into this for retirement, which | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
has blown up in our faces. But the council maintains they're living | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
there illegally. We granted planning consent for the use of this site for | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
holiday purposes and not for permanent residential occupation and | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
clearly, to allow that to happen, it could set a very dangerous precedent | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
for the many other sites that we have across east riding. It's a | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
wrangle that's been going on for more than two years now and has seen | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
in November 2011 Lakeminster Park Ltd apply for retrospective planning | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
permission. An application rejected by the East Riding Council in May | :08:16. | :08:23. | |
2012, issuing enforcement notices in September. Residents lodged an | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
appeal against that in November and in December 2012 a public inquiry | :08:26. | :08:36. | |
:08:36. | :08:37. | ||
was granted. Millions of pounds worth of money rests upon the | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
outcome of this enquiry. As well as upon a separate legal case being | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
mounted against the developer of Lakeminster Park. Ultimately, it | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
comes down to the decision of a planning inspector as to whether or | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
not these pensioners have to move out of their homes for ever. That's | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
what will happen if the council wins its argument to remove all the | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
properties from this site. Though the High Court could still reverse a | :09:00. | :09:08. | |
decision which is expected a month after this inquiry concludes. This | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
is another story we'd like your views on. Should the people living | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
at Lakeminster be allowed to stay or are the council right to apply the | :09:15. | :09:25. | |
:09:25. | :09:32. | ||
planning laws in this case? A 42-year-old man has been charged | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
with causing death by dangerous driving of a cyclist from | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
Lincolnshire. Timothy Osborn, who was 27, was found by his mother on a | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
roadside in Spalding last September. It is thought he had been struck by | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
a vehicle hours earlier. A man will appear in court later this month. A | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
man has been jailed for life for the murder of a bricklayer from Snaith. | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
Dale Partington's body was found outside a house in the town in | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
December. He'd been stabbed. 38-year-old Leon Rushworth from | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
Snaith was today found guilty of his murder and told he'd have to serve | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
at least 20 years behind bars. Last year, James Story from Hull was | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
medically discharged from the army and since then has struggled to find | :10:04. | :10:13. | |
work. It's a familiar story for hundreds of other ex-forces | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
personnel in our area. But thanks to a Yorkshire-based charity, James has | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
been given the help he needs to start a new life after the army. | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
Sarah Corker has been to meet him. When James Story joined the Army he | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
thought he had finally find himself a career. But months of physical | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
training left temporarily able to leave -- move his legs. His life in | :10:35. | :10:44. | |
the forces was over. I was gutted, not just for myself but my family. | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
Settling back in his home town proved difficult. I have been | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
applying for every sector of work, from cleaning, manufacturing, and I | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
have not been getting any replies for anything. That is where this | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
charity has helped, offering careers management to those who have left | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
the Army on medical grounds. some, robins exist, whether it is | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
for homelessness, housing issues, whatever. At the top of that spiral | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
of dissent is often the failure of having the right equipment. -- | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
employment. More than 4000 Army personnel have been medically | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
discharged over five years and 60 present are due to muscular and | :11:30. | :11:40. | |
:11:40. | :11:40. | ||
skeletal disorders. The MoD says it plans to spend �226 million helping | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
injured and sick personnel with recovery. Gulf War veteran Bob | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
shakes his says it needs to do more. He became depressed since becoming | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
discharged and has not worked since. They have created this killing | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
machine and know they have finished, they don't want to know. | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
For James, there was good news. He has been offered an internship at | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
this IT company. It is hard coming back out of the services and the ink | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
reemployed. It can be a long process and if we can give something back, | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
that is important. He is hoping to raise the funding needed to take up | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
his training and begin a new life and a future after the Army. The UK | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
Independence Party says it will wait until after a police investigation | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
before commenting on racist comments posted on the Facebook account of a | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
Lincolnshire councillor. Chris Pain appeared before the party's national | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
executive committee in London yesterday. He says his account was | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
hacked. Our political editor, Tim Iredale, is in our newsroom for us. | :12:42. | :12:52. | |
:12:52. | :12:54. | ||
What has the party said? UKIP has issued a statement saying that it | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
has suspended judgement on the allegations until the conclusion of | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
a separate investigation by Lincolnshire Police. Councillor Pain | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
said after the hearing that he'd step down as regional chairman for | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
the party in the meantime but would remain as the party's group leader | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
on the County Council. Lincolnshire Police says it takes all forms of | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
harassment very seriously but says it could be some time before a | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
decision is made on the case because of the complexity of investigating | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
this kind of allegation. Councillor Pain insists his Facebook account | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
was hacked and denies making racist comments. UKIP won 16 seats in last | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
month's County Council elections and is the largest opposition party on | :13:29. | :13:39. | |
:13:39. | :13:41. | ||
the authority behind the Conservatives. Thank you very much. | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
Still ahead tonight. Why East Yorkshire businesses are being told | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
to get on the Tour de France bandwagon. And why this �7 million | :13:52. | :14:02. | |
:14:02. | :14:06. | ||
swing bridge is finally opening - three years late. Keep your | :14:06. | :14:14. | |
photographs coming in. Stuart Rogerson took this of 22 ducks off | :14:14. | :14:24. | |
:14:24. | :14:39. | ||
to the Beck for a wash in Dunston in take their Audi TT car! That is | :14:39. | :14:47. | |
great television! Hired you make a duck saying? Put it in a microwave | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
until it is Bill Withers! Oh, dear! until it is Bill Withers! Oh, dear! | :14:53. | :15:02. | |
:15:03. | :15:03. | ||
Now the We won't have clear blue skies tomorrow, it has been | :15:03. | :15:12. | |
forecast. Something of a change. The sunshine will return as we head into | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
the weekend, and that is looking great. We can pick up this localised | :15:17. | :15:25. | |
in the North Sea, curling around and already gloomy in Boston, and whole | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
is cloudy and that cloud is heading westwards so if you have sunshine at | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
the moment in Scunthorpe, it won't last. That cloud pushing all the way | :15:34. | :15:41. | |
inland overnight and it will be accompanied by a little drizzle in | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
places and temperatures down to around nine or 10 Celsius. 48 | :15:45. | :15:52. | |
Fahrenheit. The sun rises in the morning at 4:35am, setting at | :15:52. | :15:59. | |
9:29pm. And the high water times... Grade to start the morning, result | :15:59. | :16:06. | |
in places but otherwise dry and this cloud should slowly break up, some | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
sunny breaks coming through and it might be a very slow process, | :16:10. | :16:18. | |
coastal areas might stay grey all day. What a contrast with today. | :16:18. | :16:28. | |
:16:28. | :16:28. | ||
Let's look at those top trumpeters, struggling. -- temperatures. 16 or | :16:28. | :16:35. | |
17 degrees. Thursday, grey to start, by turning up and the weekend | :16:35. | :16:45. | |
:16:45. | :16:49. | ||
experiments, warm with some put himself in front of that sign | :16:49. | :16:59. | |
:16:59. | :17:02. | ||
that's it lifeguard! -- that's it. Go away! With just over a year to go | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
until the start of the Tour De France, businesses in East Yorkshire | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
are being told they can make money out of the event, even though it | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
won't be coming to the county. Tens of thousands of visitors are | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
expected next summer in North, West and South Yorkshire to see the | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
world's biggest cycling race, as Emma Massey reports. It's the most | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
famous cycle race in the world and the start of the tour de France, the | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
Grande Pass, is coming to Yorkshire in 2014. The first stage on the | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
fifth July will be from Leeds to Harrogate. The second stage will | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
wind its way from York to Sheffield. But it won't be coming any closer to | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
East Yorkshire than that. Many local businesses feel that's close enough | :17:42. | :17:50. | |
for there to be benefits all round. As far as retail or producers are | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
concerned, individuals and schools and communities, everybody can get | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
involved, if they like. It is an opportunity that we should be | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
grabbing. As far as bringing income to the area is concerned, it is | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
important. This afternoon, Welcome to Yorkshire has been hosting an | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
event in South Cave near Hull aimed at convincing other local businesses | :18:10. | :18:20. | |
that they can reap the rewards of the race. The arts festival will be | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
across Yorkshire, the business opportunities will be right across | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
Yorkshire so he will invite businesses from all across the great | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
county to get in touch to say they want to do more business in France, | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
weather in the supply chain whatever capacity. If it all goes to plan, | :18:39. | :18:48. | |
the race could bring in �100 million for Yorkshire's economy. But some | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
businesses in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire have yet to be | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
convinced about what it'll do for them. Work is not really that close. | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
Will they come this way? Will be benefit? There is a big attraction | :19:01. | :19:07. | |
in north Yorkshire, will we be able to draw people to east riding? | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
this restauranteur remains sceptical. I will not see the | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
benefit in the slightest, I think coming around this area, through | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
Beverley and the Humber Bridge, I thought there was a good chance it | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
would have come here as well and that would have brought people to | :19:24. | :19:30. | |
use torture. -- East Yorkshire. Whether it comes past your street or | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
not, the organisers say you'll remember the Tour De France coming | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
to Yorkshire for the rest of your life. I'm joined by Gary Verity from | :19:37. | :19:45. | |
Welcome to Yorkshire, who organised today's event. How can businesses in | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
East Yorkshire be expected to buy into this when it is not coming to | :19:48. | :19:58. | |
:19:58. | :19:59. | ||
the county? It is straightforward, if you are in Yorkshire, it is a | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
Yorkshire section and the average distance spectators travel is 135 | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
kilometres everyday so that includes Liverpool, the whole of the North of | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
England. We expect people right across the North of England to watch | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
the tour France so here, South Cave, it is 40 kilometres from where the | :20:18. | :20:25. | |
nearest stage will pass by and when I went to one day in 2011, we were | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
staying at a hotel base with one of the teams, 65 kilometres from the | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
start. But you heard some of those people, some of the traders, there | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
is a good deal of cynicism any structure and we're still feeling | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
pretty sore that we missed out? people are, it is a mixed picture, | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
let's be careful. We have had a lot of cycling clubs getting in touch | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
from his daughter saying they think it is fantastic. Today's event was | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
about inspiring businesses to understand what the two references, | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
it is greater than just the route, the arts festival, the business | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
opportunities, Pan Yorkshire, and all of those providers in that | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
sector, they will host people. All of those opportunities apply to | :21:13. | :21:22. | |
everybody. Very good to talk to you. Good luck. The Health Secretary, | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
Jeremy Hunt, has ordered a review into plans to reorganise ambulance | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
services in Lincolnshire. An independent team will now look at | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
the way East Midlands Ambulance Service carried out its | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
consultations. EMAS wants to close several ambulance stations across | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
the county and create new hubs. But Lincolnshire's Health Scrutiny | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
Committee has raised concerns about the plans and there are demands for | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
Lincolnshire to have its own service. Again, being fined �3.5 | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
million for the third year, which is over �11 million in fines, which | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
could have been invested in the service. At the end of the day, the | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
goal has to be, can we have our own and billing service back? To provide | :22:02. | :22:12. | |
:22:12. | :22:16. | ||
a better service for the residents. Three years after it was due to | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
open, a bridge in Hull will finally be brought into use later this | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
month. It is shaped like a pinball flipper but that unique design has | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
caused a series of technical problems. Linsey Smith reports. It | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
promised to be a bridge to be proud of. Pedestrians can ride on it as it | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
swings open for river traffic will enjoy a coffee inside. �7 million it | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
and three years overdue, the newest bridge over the River Hull will | :22:37. | :22:45. | |
finally open this month. I drive my bike around here so I will be using | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
it and there is a cafe in the middle. What about �7 million for a | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
bridge? That does not sound excessive in today's money. | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
bridge to nowhere. Not much on the other side, just the hotel. And it's | :22:58. | :23:05. | |
a bit run down. The bridge was part of a regeneration plan for the East | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
bank and it was meant to lead to apartments and cafes. The bridge | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
went ahead because it was paid for with public money but those other | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
ventures collapsed but the recession, leaving the land here | :23:18. | :23:28. | |
:23:28. | :23:42. | ||
empty. In a statement, Hull City the bridge to nowhere, but it's the | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
bridge to this land. Land that Hull City Council hope will now become | :23:45. | :23:55. | |
:23:55. | :23:58. | ||
more marketable. So the regeneration can continue - if a little late. | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
Summer has finally arrived and across Lincolnshire, those who can | :24:01. | :24:11. | |
have been having fun in the sun. The sunshine has brought out the | :24:11. | :24:21. | |
:24:21. | :24:27. | ||
visitors. Gemma Dawson spent the afternoon in the county. Summer has | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
arrived. And those who can have been having fun in the sun. In Woodhall | :24:34. | :24:43. | |
Spa, when the sun comes out people strip off and go for a dip. The pool | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
was redone last year and since then we had a record year and this year | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
we are on for the same again if the weather holds. And the did today. In | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
the shade it reached 16 degrees today but the water here is nearer | :24:54. | :25:02. | |
30. It's wonderful, this pool is lovely, warm. It is great to get | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
outside and make the best of the weather. So nice having this | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
facility on our doorstep. The pool is wonderful, so warm. She enjoyed | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
it. Lovely. Lincoln's Brayford Pool looked like a Mediterranean marina | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
this afternoon. Here, too, people were making the most of the | :25:18. | :25:27. | |
sunshine. It has been so miserable and cold and overcast and we have if | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
you days of sunshine and it makes you feel wonderful. It makes you | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
feel better. And businesses here hope the warm weather continues | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
because tourism is worth more than �1 billion to the county's economy. | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
Businesses notice the differences and people want to enjoy the city | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
centre and the attractions and when it is raining, people do more | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
inside. When the sun comes out, this is when it works. It was cooler by | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
the coast but in Skegness people were still making the most of the | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
sunshine. And businesses here are thankful the sun has finally | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
arrived. It is nice and we are trading or cable before, it was | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
terrible. It has totally killed trade for everyone on the coastal | :26:08. | :26:17. | |
area. So many here hope this warm weather continues. Fantastic | :26:17. | :26:24. | |
pictures. We should be so proud. Let's get a recap of the national | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
and regional headlines. 60 years on - the Queen marks her decades as | :26:28. | :26:30. | |
monarch in a special service at Westminster Abbey. Warnings that | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
green energy jobs could go abroad and the Humber could miss out after | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
MPs vote against plans to commit to the renewables industry. Tomorrow's | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
weather and it'll be a grey, damp start but will slowly brighten up. | :26:40. | :26:50. | |
Sunny spells later. Cooler with highs of around 16 Celsius. 61 | :26:50. | :26:57. | |
Fahrenheit. And the green energy comments. Jim says, another kick in | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
the teeth for the region, jobs shot down in flames. David says, common | :27:02. | :27:09. | |
sense at last, a vote against green energy and wind power. Fracking is | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
the only solution to the energy needs and it is high time we realise | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
that. John - the proposal was earmarked for the Thames and there | :27:17. | :27:24. | |
would have been no hesitation. They know what - South divide rules. And | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
Barry in Bridlington says, we should stop lighting the countryside with | :27:28. | :27:31. |
