reputation enhanced. That's it. Starting on BBC Two now, | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
Jeremy Paxman asks Good evening. There are concerns | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
that some people are taking advantage of food banks and free | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
meal services in Hull. Many are independently run by small groups or | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
churches and rely on people's honesty to take only what they need. | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Now charities are being encouraged to work together and share | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
information to stop misuse and make the system more effective. Sarah | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
Walton reports. A fresh bowl of steaming soup. A | :00:30. | :00:38. | |
welcome sight on a cold day. Every Saturday, the Amazing Grace Church | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
in Hull gives free food to anyone who says they're in need. Not only | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
the alcoholics, the homeless, not only people who are taking drugs. At | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
one point we had somebody who was a student. For some reason he found | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
himself in a difficult situation. It's open to anybody. People say | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
some are taking advantage of that kindness visiting different | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
charities every day so they can save their money for drink and drugs. You | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
hear it all the time. I see people, the same faces going to the soup | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
kitchens where I go. Always the same faces. I see people coming here who | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
have been paid on a Saturday morning and have ?120 in their pocket. There | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
is a church on Princess Avenue and they put bags of clothes out for the | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
homeless. A certain one, he will grab the full bag and then he'll | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
take it to the clothes bank to sell it and then spend the money on booze | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
or whatever he's taking. The worry is that groups like the one here | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
can't spot when people are taking advantage of the system. Now it is | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
being suggested they all come together and cooperate in a far more | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
official way. That is already being done at some places. Hull food bank | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
is part of the Trussell Trust, a network of 400 centres across the | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
country. It says size gives it influence and allows it to work with | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
a wide range of health and social workers who identify those genuinely | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
in need. But others believe there are benefits to a more informal | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
approach. This church runs a small daily drop`in meal and food bank | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
service. It stops abuse by getting to know people first. We don't | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
advertise the fact there is a food bank at Saint Hilda's. People know | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
about it because this church is in the middle of the community, | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
everybody knows where it is. People who have been helped by the church | :02:22. | :02:30. | |
put the word around. While different groups vary in their approach to | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
tackling food poverty, they do all agree that demand for their service | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
is increasing so it's important to have a debate on how the system can | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
be improved. A county council decision that could | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
see some Lincolnshire libraries run by volunteers, is to be challenged | :02:46. | :02:56. | |
in the High Court. The campaign group, Save Lincolnshire Libraries, | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
has lodged legal papers which could force a judicial review. The | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
authority says it has to save one and a half million pounds and | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
insists it's acting lawfully. Building a supermarket on the site | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
of Louth's cattle market would "cause lasting harm to the town for | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
a generation," according to county councillors in Lincolnshire. East | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
Lindsey district council is consulting on the future of the | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
site, which could be worth ?12 million. A decision will be made | :03:17. | :03:26. | |
later this year. I have seen the devastation supermarkets cause if | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
they are putting the wrong place. I do not want to Louth going the way | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
so many towns in this country have gone. | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
There are calls for Yorkshire's cities to be made safer for cyclists | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
as the region prepares to host this Summer's Grand Depart of the Tour de | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
France. It's hoped the event will inspire more of us to get on our | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
bikes. But figures show that there has been a sharp rise in the number | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
of accidents involving cyclists in the Yorkshire and Humber area since | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
2009. Jake Zuckerman is in Hull this evening. Jake, how dangerous are our | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
roads? According to the most recent | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
statistics for road casualties the number of cyclists being killed or | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
seriously injured in Yorkshire and Humber rose by nearly a third. In | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
2009, 199 adult cyclists were killed or seriously injured. In 2012, that | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
figure had risen to 256. That's a 29% increase. Of course, more people | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
are cycling now, but campaigners say numbers won't increase further | :04:22. | :04:34. | |
unless roads are made safer. David Noble knows every lump and pump in | :04:35. | :04:54. | |
the road. He travels around 40 miles a day on roads and cycle routes. In | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
the last year, he's gone through four tyres and five wheels. I'd | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
sooner take a route that's 24 miles, and using the cycle track cuts time | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
off your journey. But when it comes to cost`effectiveness, when you're | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
replacing ?30 tyres and ?60 wheels every day, obviously going the | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
longer way is the cheapest route. This cycle shop in the city says | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
they're repairing more bikes than ever before, something they blame on | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
poorly`maintained roads. We're seeing a lot of buckled wheels, | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
broken spokes, punctures, torn tyres, bent forks ` people having | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
accidents and going over the bike because of pot holes. Hull has one | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
of the highest numbers of cyclists for a UK city, and in 2011, it was | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
named as one of Britain's top cities for cyclists. With events like the | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
Tour De France coming to Yorkshire this summer, it's hoped it will | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
inspire more of us to get on our bike. Today, a cycling manifesto was | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
launched to encourage the Government to raise its spending on cycling and | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
improve safety. Our surveys have shown that 60% of people who don't | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
ride a bike have said they would if they felt safer, so the latent | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
demand is absolutely enormous, and the potential good that can do our | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
country is also enormous. In Hull, a cycling action plan is in place | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
which aims to encourage more of us to take up the sport, but | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
campaigners say that won't happen if cycle paths are left like this. If | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
those problems can be overcome, it could have an affect on lots of | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
other services. The survey has shown that if 10% of trips were made by | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
cycle, the sailing to the NHS would be ?250 million a year. | :06:16. | :06:30. | |
A very unsettled day. It will be brighter with wintry showers in the | :06:31. | :06:40. | |
afternoon. Icy patches on untreated surfaces, and a fairly widespread | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
ground Frost. We're off to a frosty but drive starts tomorrow morning. | :06:48. | :06:57. | |
Cloud will increase. The afternoon brightens up with sunny spells and a | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
scattering of showers. There may be some snow. Top afternoon | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
temperatures, five or six degrees. That's the forecast. | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
The Superleague Show returns to BBC One tonight. In the first programme | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
of the new series, Hull FC chairman Adam Pearson will be outlining his | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
ambitions for the club ahead of the new season. That's at 11.20 on BBC | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
One. That's all from the late team. Look North is back tomorrow at 6.25. | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
Bye for now. Good evening. You have my permission | :07:25. | :07:43. | |
to complain about too many repeats with the British weather at the | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
moment because yet again it looks as though our winter weather is set to | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
continue with a repeat of last week. Sunny spells and scattered showers | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
today and this is the next area of low pressure pushing in from the | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
west. It influences our weather for the rest of the week. More rain to | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
come and gales and severe gales to come. Ice is a possible risk. That | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
means a cumulative total perhaps or 40-70 millimetres and that is an | :08:17. | :08:24. | |
extra two to three inches. It will exacerbate the flooding we have | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
already got across England at the moment. The cloud, wind and rain is | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
already pushing in from the west. There will be a widespread frost. | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
Ice could be a problem first thing in Northern Ireland. Snow in the | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
hills and maybe in the North East of Scotland we could see snow at lower | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
levels. Rain through northern England and Wales and Somerset. Some | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
of that rain could be quite intense coupled with squally, gusty winds on | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
exposed coasts. In the east it starts off relatively dry, but it | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
will not be long before the wind and the rain spreads further east. Up | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
into the North the snow showers continue on the hills, but by the | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
end of the afternoon we could see wet snow even at lower levels. A | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
cold day. There is a potential for some snow showers at lower levels | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
across England and Wales on Tuesday night and into Wednesday. On | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
Wednesday it is this area of low pressure which is the main factor in | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
Wednesday's weather. More wet and windy weather. An early amber | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
warning has already been issued from the South West. Severe gales are | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
likely as we continue to see some very wet weather coming into central | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
and southern areas. The strongest winds follow in behind those | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
showers. In Scotland you are probably wondering what the | :10:01. | :10:02. |
