it is bad. When is it going to end? Goodbye

:00:00.:00:08.

Did even Inc. The headline. Humberside's Police and Crime

:00:09.:00:18.

Commissioner under fire after he says people should pay more council

:00:19.:00:23.

tax for better policing. I think it is his own way of saying I won't

:00:24.:00:28.

listen to anybody. Plans to protect the Lincolnshire

:00:29.:00:31.

coast from floods are given the go`ahead.

:00:32.:00:33.

Should our councils take a cue from budget airlines and offer a cheaper,

:00:34.:00:43.

no frills service? I don't think people want frills from their

:00:44.:00:46.

council, they just want a good solid service at a reasonable price.

:00:47.:00:50.

As this year's Games get under way in Russia, we meet our own Winter

:00:51.:00:57.

Olympics hopefuls. And somewhat and windy weather on the way. I will be

:00:58.:01:01.

back later with all the details for the weekend.

:01:02.:01:11.

The man responsible for the running of Humberside Police has been

:01:12.:01:17.

accused of match show politics over his plans to increase the amount

:01:18.:01:22.

that local people pay for policing. Matthew Grove says plans to raise

:01:23.:01:26.

the precept by just under 2% will help keep more police on the street.

:01:27.:01:32.

The chairman of the panel which oversees him says he is acting in

:01:33.:01:36.

foolish manner and is ignoring important views. In a lowered, ``

:01:37.:01:43.

moment, we will hear what he has to say. First, this report. 5p is the

:01:44.:01:55.

extra amount each week. My shoe Grove says the precept increase is

:01:56.:02:03.

vital. `` Michael Grove. The public say to me their first priority is to

:02:04.:02:09.

insure they have a good police. They so, Matthew, collect out `` protect

:02:10.:02:14.

our police service. This is what I need to do on their behalf. It is a

:02:15.:02:26.

very modest increase. Mr Grove is proposing an increase of just under

:02:27.:02:31.

2%. That works out as 5p per week for each household. The money will

:02:32.:02:36.

go to more officers on the street. The chairman of the crime panel is

:02:37.:02:41.

angry. He says they are being ignored. You're a macro I think it

:02:42.:02:44.

is a foolish way to go about it. I would put it quite simply, it is a

:02:45.:02:50.

proposal which is not needed at all. I think it is just a way of saying,

:02:51.:02:57.

I am my own man, I am the commission, I won't listen to the

:02:58.:03:01.

panel, the government, to anybody. Matthew Grove says police. Not

:03:02.:03:08.

provide an adequate service for the area at the fourth has to make

:03:09.:03:12.

savings of more than ?30 million. He says he says he's already making

:03:13.:03:17.

savings. This is the former police authority headquarters, a building

:03:18.:03:20.

he put up for sale soon after being elected, a move, he says will save

:03:21.:03:27.

?50,000 a year. Most people I spoke to were happy for him to ask for

:03:28.:03:30.

more. If it keeps police on the street, yes. yes. That is what they

:03:31.:03:38.

are there for. I am all in favour. If it saves jobs, fair enough. But I

:03:39.:03:43.

don't want it wasted on stupid things, luxuries. They can stay on

:03:44.:03:49.

the street longer, yes, it is a good thing. I don't bother reporting

:03:50.:03:53.

anything now so my opinion of the police is very low so maybe with a

:03:54.:03:56.

bit of extra money, they rubbed it is they can do more, they should be

:03:57.:04:02.

able to do it anyway stop is Matthew Grove goes ahead, these few extra

:04:03.:04:07.

pennies a week will add up to another ?800,000 a year for the

:04:08.:04:10.

Humberside Police Kitty but the panel that originated his work they

:04:11.:04:20.

as arguments don't stand up. Matthew Grove is in the studio now. Good

:04:21.:04:24.

evening. The chairman of the crime panel doesn't think there is a need

:04:25.:04:28.

to increase peoples bills saying it could be taken from reserves. Why

:04:29.:04:34.

don't you do that? I presented him with a 36 page in`depth report with

:04:35.:04:38.

evidence, with figures that clearly demonstrated there was a need. In

:04:39.:04:43.

that report was a widespread consultation I undertook where 75%

:04:44.:04:48.

of the public question supported this. Only 18% of people said they

:04:49.:04:54.

opposed it. Is their money in reserve that you could have used?

:04:55.:05:00.

Let's be clear. At this moment in time, Humberside Police are spending

:05:01.:05:02.

more money than we receive an income. We have over the next five

:05:03.:05:08.

years to find ?30 million of savings. We are doing that. We now

:05:09.:05:13.

have an additional ?1.5 million of savings. I have reached the point

:05:14.:05:18.

where I think we can have a safe police service. The chairman of the

:05:19.:05:24.

panel said you would be foolish to press ahead with the plans and you

:05:25.:05:28.

are not willing to listen. I am answerable to the panel, not to the

:05:29.:05:34.

public. `` to the public, not to the panel. The panel was split and one

:05:35.:05:41.

of the people were so upset, they left the meeting. The chairman has

:05:42.:05:49.

said this is man show behaviour. Are you just being match? The

:05:50.:05:55.

responsible Nitties I have two take charge of the police area to detect

:05:56.:06:02.

120,000 people, I don't play Games without. It is far too important.

:06:03.:06:12.

people seem hostile to you. Last year, they were criticising me for

:06:13.:06:16.

freezing it. This time, I am proposing a modest increase which

:06:17.:06:21.

for most people will be two or ?3 a year and they are saying I

:06:22.:06:24.

shouldn't. If the chairman is watching tonight, what would you say

:06:25.:06:29.

to him? I think you should read about what his powers of. The panel

:06:30.:06:33.

did have the power of veto but they did not achieve the level of veto

:06:34.:06:40.

they needed. I work for the public, not for the government, and

:06:41.:06:43.

certainly not the police and crime panel. Would you be prepared to pay

:06:44.:06:51.

extra to cook `` keep the police on the streets?

:06:52.:07:15.

Lincolnshire's police and the admission that has told he should

:07:16.:07:20.

apologise to the Chief Constable for suspending him last year. The police

:07:21.:07:26.

and crime panel said Alan Hardwick ignored advice and wasted ?150,000

:07:27.:07:31.

or he suspended Neil Rhodes. A number of members of the police and

:07:32.:07:37.

I panel had received a lot of communications from their

:07:38.:07:42.

constituents and the general theme of those communications was a demand

:07:43.:07:48.

that the Commissioner apologised for his actions. In response, Alan

:07:49.:07:53.

Hardwick said it would be inappropriate and discourteous to

:07:54.:07:56.

comment before I have received and considered any communication from

:07:57.:07:58.

the panel following yesterday's meeting. In a moment, Age UK City of

:07:59.:08:09.

Culture 2017 is whole. The businesses that say Hull City of

:08:10.:08:15.

culture year is a golden opportunity to destroy stereotypes about the

:08:16.:08:18.

city. Businesses on the Lincolnshire Coast

:08:19.:08:20.

have welcomed the government's decision to allow ?5 million to be

:08:21.:08:24.

spent protecting the area from flooding. The money will be spent on

:08:25.:08:27.

building sandbanks to defend thousands of homes between

:08:28.:08:29.

Mablethorpe and Skegness which were threatened by December's tidal

:08:30.:08:32.

surge. Our correspondent Paul Murphy reports. Work to repair this

:08:33.:08:40.

coastline has been underway ever since December's damaging tidal

:08:41.:08:44.

surge. News of extra defence money has been welcomed, especially by

:08:45.:08:49.

vulnerable coastal businesses. We are below sea`level here and all the

:08:50.:08:55.

way along. This place was flooded and people were evacuated. You see

:08:56.:09:00.

other people being flooded and it is a really scary thing. The 30,000

:09:01.:09:06.

properties and 20,000 caravans on this low`lying coast represent a

:09:07.:09:09.

significant part of Lincolnshire's economy. we having edible assets

:09:10.:09:15.

behind the flood defences that we need to protect, agriculture,

:09:16.:09:19.

industry, our tourist industry brings in 0.5 minimum pounds a

:09:20.:09:25.

year. And of course, residents. Hundreds lost their lives in the

:09:26.:09:30.

East Coast floods of 1953. One of the survivors believes the newly

:09:31.:09:34.

announced funding doesn't go far enough. No good. Not enough. It will

:09:35.:09:46.

cost more to restore it. The new government money comes on top of an

:09:47.:09:49.

existing programme of repairs. It includes funding to protect 200

:09:50.:09:55.

homes here in East Yorkshire after damage to the Hun Burbank. `` the

:09:56.:10:06.

Humber bank. There is protection for more than 2000 homes at get awful.

:10:07.:10:10.

There is funding for Lincoln to protect BT properties `` to protect

:10:11.:10:19.

BT properties. I think it should be allocated all over, the money. The

:10:20.:10:26.

mini does come quite high. `` the river does come quite high. What the

:10:27.:10:32.

tide moves away, the diggers must put back. The money is being

:10:33.:10:37.

welcomed but it is a drop in the ocean in this constant process.

:10:38.:10:42.

Defences protected much of the coast from December's tidal surge. But

:10:43.:10:46.

these communities know there is little room for complex and see. ``

:10:47.:10:56.

for complacency. Police investigating the murder of a

:10:57.:11:00.

man in Gainsborough have been given more time to question three people.

:11:01.:11:03.

24`year`old Ivans Zanovics who was originally from Latvia was found

:11:04.:11:06.

dead at his home in Etherington Street on the 17th January after a

:11:07.:11:09.

fire. Two local men and a local woman are in custody. The German

:11:10.:11:17.

lorry driver has been jailed after trying to struggle cannabis in. He

:11:18.:11:28.

was stopped as he drove off a ferry. The idea of charging council tax

:11:29.:11:33.

payers for extra for bigger wheelie bins and other nonessential services

:11:34.:11:36.

has been rejected by the lead of one are most cash`strapped local

:11:37.:11:42.

authorities. Ministers say we could learn lessons from budget airlines

:11:43.:11:46.

Web customers receive the basic product but have to pay for any

:11:47.:11:51.

more. The move has been pioneered by Council in London. Recent years have

:11:52.:12:01.

seen budget airlines pioneer and no`frills approach to travel. So,

:12:02.:12:05.

could the same principle work at your local town hall? Barnet in

:12:06.:12:12.

north London has been described as the first no`frills Council. The

:12:13.:12:14.

idea is that if residents want to pay for larger bins or fast track

:12:15.:12:19.

planning applications, that is what they get. If not, they receive the

:12:20.:12:24.

basic service like anyone else. The council leader told me he is cutting

:12:25.:12:32.

council tax bills this year by 1%. I don't think people want frills from

:12:33.:12:36.

their council, they want good, solid service at a reasonable price. That

:12:37.:12:41.

is what we are doing. Barnett is home to Finchley, famously

:12:42.:12:44.

represented in Parliament by a Lincolnshire lass called Margaret

:12:45.:12:49.

Thatcher. I suspect she would have approved of the idea no`frills

:12:50.:12:55.

councils but will do local residents say? I like Barnet Council. They do

:12:56.:13:03.

offer value for money. They keep the borough clean. Do you get value for

:13:04.:13:09.

money? No, we are always having to put our hands in our pockets, paying

:13:10.:13:15.

for extra bills. Eric Pickles believes many councils could further

:13:16.:13:20.

tightened their belts so would the no`frills approach work in somewhere

:13:21.:13:28.

like north`eastern Lincolnshire? Did you become an no`frills council? We

:13:29.:13:36.

are a no`frills council. We are doing everything that Mr pickles has

:13:37.:13:40.

told us today. Two years ago, when I became the leader of the council, we

:13:41.:13:46.

had a ?140 million revenue budget. By the time I get to 2017, I have a

:13:47.:13:53.

?67 million revenue budget so it is more than halved. Barnett is

:13:54.:13:56.

Barnet, north east lynxes north`east links. The jury is out on whether

:13:57.:14:03.

this could get off on the ground elsewhere. Labour and Conservative

:14:04.:14:12.

MPs will discuss this on the Sunday Politics that 11 o'clock. Still

:14:13.:14:28.

ahead tonight, Bruce takes Hull City to play his old club sunblinds. This

:14:29.:14:34.

years Games are underway in Sochi and we meet three goals in Hull

:14:35.:14:44.

dreaming of the Winter Olympics. Tonight's photograph was taken by

:14:45.:14:45.

Lance Hollingworth. We will have another picture on

:14:46.:15:01.

Monday night. Will you be with us on Monday night? You sound like you

:15:02.:15:04.

need to blow your nose. You want to get to bed with a hot toddy. I

:15:05.:15:15.

expected to Monday to Thursday, I don't expect it Friday as well.

:15:16.:15:20.

Sorry, couldn't resist. This weekend, Sunday, probably the better

:15:21.:15:25.

day of the two days tomorrow is going to be a blustery day and you

:15:26.:15:29.

are more likely to catch a shower tomorrow. It looks wet and windy

:15:30.:15:34.

overnight tonight. You can see from the isobars tightly packed, so

:15:35.:15:37.

blustery conditions, particularly Saturday. That won't ease down until

:15:38.:15:43.

we get to Monday. We had a few showers today but you can see from a

:15:44.:15:46.

satellite picture how nicely the cloud broke up through the course of

:15:47.:15:50.

the day. Through the evening, we may get the odd shower while and the

:15:51.:15:55.

showers will merge into longer spells of rain as this band pushes

:15:56.:16:00.

up from the South West, in the meantime there will be heavy rain

:16:01.:16:04.

and some strong winds as well. Temperatures by the end of the night

:16:05.:16:08.

down to around four or five degrees so a fairly unsettled night to come.

:16:09.:16:12.

The sun will rise in the morning at 7:36am. Tomorrow, there will be

:16:13.:16:23.

residual cloud, the odd shower about at first but then it will clear

:16:24.:16:28.

away. We will have the spell of white bright, dry weather. It will

:16:29.:16:33.

be chilly. You can see through the afternoon, Chow was powering ash

:16:34.:16:40.

piling in. `` showers powering in. The breeze will come `` become

:16:41.:16:50.

gusty. Temperatures seven or eight degrees. Looking further ahead,

:16:51.:16:53.

Sunday probably the better day of the two. Fewer showers and fewer

:16:54.:16:57.

still as we kept through Monday. The breeze will tend to life than bit

:16:58.:17:02.

but we will keep the unsubtle theme as we had through next week. `` the

:17:03.:17:10.

unsubtle theme. Tuesday looks windy. `` unsettled theme. Have a nice

:17:11.:17:19.

weekend. Businesses helping to fund Hull's

:17:20.:17:23.

City of Culture year say it's a once in a lifetime chance to destroy

:17:24.:17:27.

stereotypes about the city. 22 companies have already pledged more

:17:28.:17:31.

than a third of a million pounds ` a small step on the way to getting the

:17:32.:17:35.

?15 million needed for the project. But among them are some you wouldn't

:17:36.:17:39.

naturally expect to be involved in arts sponsorship, as Anne`Marie

:17:40.:17:43.

Tasker reports. Heavy industry is not something

:17:44.:17:46.

you'd think would go hand in hand with culture. But this galvanising

:17:47.:17:50.

company in Hull says sponsoring the City of Culture in 2017 is a unique

:17:51.:18:01.

chance to promote the city. The City of Culture is a one`off event for

:18:02.:18:06.

the city. If you want to be on board and believe in what this is,

:18:07.:18:13.

promoting the city culture, and showing the positive offerings that

:18:14.:18:18.

we have, then we strongly believe it was money worth spending. And

:18:19.:18:21.

they're not the only unexpected sponsor. Phil Batty is just 24 years

:18:22.:18:25.

old, running his own small advertising business. For him,

:18:26.:18:27.

donating ?17,000 is a huge sacrifice. It does represent a

:18:28.:18:37.

personal salary for a year and it is a massive investment for us to make

:18:38.:18:43.

as a company. But the longer term benefits of pristine this region

:18:44.:18:46.

will definitely outweigh that. It is not something we have done before

:18:47.:18:50.

and it would take a massive opportunity for us to do it again.

:18:51.:18:57.

Even before Hull was named City of Culture, 22 businesses ` known as

:18:58.:19:00.

the Angels ` pledged to give ?17,000 each. But it's usually big

:19:01.:19:02.

multinational companies sponsoring the arts. Take the Tate Modern in

:19:03.:19:06.

London, that's just got its sculpture hall funded by a car

:19:07.:19:11.

manufacturer for 11 years. So Arts Council England says getting small

:19:12.:19:19.

businesses on board is unusual. The answer does better out of

:19:20.:19:23.

multi`million pound giving than it necessarily does out of smaller

:19:24.:19:27.

giving but I think in terms of the money that has been given to the

:19:28.:19:32.

City of Culture, you have exceptional project which is clearly

:19:33.:19:37.

generating significant civic pride. And it's that civic pride that's

:19:38.:19:40.

encouraged firms like this to get on board ` and for small industries to

:19:41.:19:45.

give arts a helping hand. Back to our story on the ?13 million

:19:46.:19:49.

bid to make a five`mile section of the busy Hull to York road a dual

:19:50.:19:53.

carriageway. The A1079 is used by 18,000 drivers a day. East Riding

:19:54.:19:57.

Council and City of York Council want to dual the road between

:19:58.:19:59.

Pocklington and Wilberfoss. Thank you very much indeed for all

:20:00.:20:41.

of those. Hull City have a great opportunity

:20:42.:20:45.

to move away from relegation trouble with Premier League Games against

:20:46.:20:47.

Sunderland and Southampton in the next week. Sunderland was the club

:20:48.:20:51.

which sacked Steve Bruce before he became the Tigers' manager. He joked

:20:52.:20:54.

that he was expecting a "warm welcome back." Here our sports

:20:55.:21:03.

reporter Simon Clark. This is the drama from the last time the two

:21:04.:21:08.

sides met. Hull City took the lead and then Sunderland lost their

:21:09.:21:12.

temper. They lost two of their players to red cards and then lost

:21:13.:21:20.

the Game 1`0. Steve Bruce sacked by Sunderland before redemption of the

:21:21.:21:24.

Tigers. As far as I am concerned, it is gone. We can joke about it, when

:21:25.:21:33.

it happens, it disappoints you. But it is gone for me. I have been here

:21:34.:21:37.

nearly a couple of years, there have been two or manager since have left

:21:38.:21:43.

Sunderland, let's get on with it. We need to do the right thing first. We

:21:44.:21:50.

need to make sure that we are at our best to level and then compete. The

:21:51.:21:57.

Tigers have moved on to 40 points, the magic number most teams try to

:21:58.:22:03.

achieve to stay in the nearly. Russ Wilcox used to play for Hull City,

:22:04.:22:09.

the Scunthorpe United manager, and he believes the Tigers can do it

:22:10.:22:13.

this season. Steve Bruce is a top`class manager. He has a wealth

:22:14.:22:19.

of X areas, he knows there are going to be difficult times. He is a

:22:20.:22:30.

little bit of a mini league. Last week, I was here saying the Tigers

:22:31.:22:33.

had to stop the rot and get something out of the Tottenham game

:22:34.:22:37.

and they did. Now it is to really awkward Games. Sunderland and then

:22:38.:22:45.

Southampton. It is tough in this Premier league.

:22:46.:22:51.

Scunthorpe United could take a giant leap towards League Two promotion if

:22:52.:22:58.

they winds tomorrow. The Iron welcome leaders Chesterfield to

:22:59.:23:00.

Glanford Park hoping to restore their place at the top of the table

:23:01.:23:04.

and cement one of the top`three promotion places. No one wants to be

:23:05.:23:13.

in the play`offs, everyone wants to get promoted automatically. We are

:23:14.:23:17.

fully confident we can be there come May and we are concentrating on

:23:18.:23:20.

making sure that we do our best to make it possible.

:23:21.:23:26.

And you can hear how Hull City do on BBC Radio Humberside tomorrow. Their

:23:27.:23:31.

game at Sunderland is on FM. They've also got Scunthorpe United's game

:23:32.:23:35.

with Chesterfield on AM. And Grimsby Town's match with Southport is on

:23:36.:23:41.

digital radio and online. Lincoln City take on Hyde. That match is on

:23:42.:23:53.

BBC Radio Lincolnshire from 2.00pm. The Winter Olympics ` officially

:23:54.:23:56.

opened in Socchi in Russia earlier today. Many athletes will achieve

:23:57.:23:59.

their life long dream by competing. Tolu Adee oh yay has been to meet

:24:00.:24:04.

three girls from Hull who are hoping to skate at the next Games in South

:24:05.:24:06.

:24:27.:24:33.

skating? I love the challenge and competing. Like the thrill and the

:24:34.:24:40.

excitement of the jumps under spins. The adrenaline that you get when you

:24:41.:24:43.

are going around. Competing as a wheelie good experience to get. How

:24:44.:24:50.

about all the outfits? Really good. The last time Britain won gold for

figure skating at the Winter Olympics was with Torvil and Dean in

1984. The girl's coach ` says getting to the Games is what

motivates her skaters. For the young people, it is the dream towards they

work for. It is not just about the skating, you have to do the ballet,

:25:13.:25:17.

the flexibility, the strength work, so, yes, it takes a considerable

:25:18.:25:22.

amount of time. The girls will take part in a mini competition. I have

space. I was thinking this time last year,

:25:53.:26:05.

we were following dancing on ice. Let's get a recap of the headlines.

:26:06.:26:10.

Flooding spreads to many areas in the south of England with Somerset

:26:11.:26:14.

still bearing the brunt of it and Humberside Police Commissioner is

:26:15.:26:17.

accused of behaviour after he says people should pay more for better

:26:18.:26:27.

policing. the responsible it is I have ordered takes charge and

:26:28.:26:32.

protect the people. I don't play Games without. Let's have a look at

:26:33.:26:39.

the weather. Windy with brighter spells. Showers developing during

:26:40.:26:45.

the afternoon. Top temperatures mild, getting up to eight Celsius.

:26:46.:26:51.

After the discussion with the crime Commissioner, thank you for all

reset. Simon says, I'm a lifelong Labour voter. Matthew Grove is

:27:02.:27:07.

conservative but his proposed rise gets my vote. Stephen says mayhem

breaks loose with mayhem breaking loose. What a lot of people would be

:27:17.:27:23.

prepared to pay more than that just to see the police on the streets now

:27:24.:27:28.

and again. Ray says, I would be more than happy to pay an extra 2% for

:27:29.:27:33.

policing are providing that Mr Grove, his deputy and all their

:27:34.:27:38.

secretaries and assistance would be happy to accept a 2% pay cut. Have a

peaceful weekend, look after yourselves. Goodbye.
