and all the pupils to study there. That is

At Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight.

Don't give to beggars, the police warning that many aren't holeless

and are pocketing hundreds of pounds a week.

I'm in Grimsby where the police there's been a rise in complaints as

many beggers take home more than some people earn in a week.

Celebrating promotion ` Scunthorpe United say they're still on the up.

As local TV services struggle in London, Grimsby's new service says

it's not at risk. And the antiques trade in

Lincolnshire which is being revolutionised by technologx.

Lincolnshire which is being revolutionised by technology. It has

been a lovely day today, will at last for the following week? Join me

for the details shortly. Good evening.

to some but Humberside police officers insist they're now tackling

the issue of begging in North East Lincolnshire. Charities say there

are around two hundred people in the area who have no permanent address

area who have no permanent `ddress but police say most people who beg

are spending the money to fund drink or drug habits. Instead thex're

or drug habits. Instead they're asking people to to donate to

charities who work with the homeless. It follows a rise in the

number of complaints about beggars in Grimsby and Cleethorpes. Sarah

Corker reports. If you saw someone in the street

begging would you give them money? I'll was chucked in the quahnt. It

is just me. I go and buy them on is just me. I go and buy them on

McDonald's, that is true. I don t, because half of them are getting

benefits. I have given monex because half of them are getting

benefits. I have given money in the benefits. I have given monex in the

past and I continue to do so. That's why Humberside Police is urging

people to say no to beggars here in Grimsby. They say it's not `bout

punishing the needy but making sure help gets to those who really need

it. It is not funding them to live, it is funding their habits of drug

or alcohol. We certainly know one chap who got ?160 a day in coins. It

is not On Patrol ` officers come across a woman they know well.

Unheard of. They say she's not homeless and is on benefits. You

know you cannot sit here begging. Round the corner they find @nthony `

he denies begging. But says in the past he's had a drug problem. It is

very hard. My feet are pleading That is because I get wet. I get

kicked out of the public tohlets kicked out of the public toilets

when I try to get unwashed. `` get unwashed. That help and support is

on offer at this Homeless Charity. It is getting behind the reasons

on offer at this Homeless Charity. It is getting behind the re`sons why

It is getting behind the reasons why they are on the streets. It could be

because they have substance and alcohol issues. They might not have

anywhere to go. They are trying alcohol issues. They might not have

anywhere to go. They are trxing to anywhere to go. They are trying to

get some extra money to get somewhere to live. While shop owners

do have some sympathy for those like Anthony ` they say begging hs

the Big Issue or performing to earn as a busker. I see myself as an

entertainer, not a beggar. So the message is if you want to hdlp

entertainer, not a beggar. So the message is if you want to help those

message is if you want to hdlp those trapped in poverty ` then instead of

giving hand`outs donate to homeless charities Sarah is in Grimsby this

evening. What impact are the beggars having

on traders in the town centre? There are four of five beggars th`t worked

the main high street further down. The problem is beggars sit hn

The problem is beggars sit in doorways and ask people for money

and sometimes intimidate customers. While begging is illegal, it does

not carry a police term. People are putting up posters in windows asking

people to donate to charity instead. Charities have said they will

provide extra beds for the Mormons provide extra beds for the Lormons

here in Grimsby. Thank you very much indeed. We will ask for your

thoughts in a moment. Earlier I spoke to John Gall. He was

begging on the streets for six months and a bus shelter was his

home, but now he helps others who are in a similar situation. I asked

her wiki distinction between genuine beggars `` professional beggars and

those in genuine need. It is difficult. I would assume anybody on

the streets was out there to make money for a habit. Giving money to

our beggar does not help anyone, you our beggar does not help anxone you

are better giving the money to a charity. Your money will do some

good somewhere then. We hear that some people can get ?160 and half

Eddie, that is profitable? I some people can get ?160 and half

Eddie, that is profitable? H know Eddie, that is profitable? I know

beggars in London who are m`king beggars in London who are m`king

more than that. Last year in Lincoln, the police said 65$

more than that. Last year in Lincoln, the police said 65% of

Lincoln, the police said 65$ of beggars are not homeless. What about

those people out there just to feed drink and drugs? We are taking money

drink and drugs? We are takhng money from people who could be getting

that money to a reputable charity like ourselves. As far as I am

concerned, most of them will not be homeless. I spent ten years living

on the streets on London and met people who were going home to a

lovely flat at late. So thex are lovely flat at late. So thex are

conning people? Basically, yes. Then conning people? Basically, yes. Then

the genuine ones, miss out? There are charities for the genuine ones.

There's probably no need for anyone to beg in Britain today if they use

services provided. These people getting money for a drink and drugs,

what do you think of them? To be honest, I prefer not to mix with

them, I never mixed with them honest, I prefer not to mix with

them, I never mixed with thdm when honest, I prefer not to mix with

them, I never mixed with thdm when I was on the street. My charity has a

policy of we are not beggars, we work for what we do. The people out

there taking money for nothing, work for what we do. The people out

there taking money for nothhng, I there taking money for nothhng, I

have no time for them at all. Should we give money to beggars when we see

them in the street? Now, I repeat, give it to reputable charithes. Use

give it to reputable charities. Use those charities. If you givd money

those charities. If you give money to people on the streets, they tend

out of ten it will end up on alcohol or drugs `` drugs. By them `lcohol

or drugs `` drugs. By them alcohol `` by them annual by all me`ns. Buy

them a meal. Let us know what you them a meal. Let us know wh`t you

think. Should the laws be tougher. Let us know what you think about

this story. Do you give mondy to this story. Do you give money to

beggars in the street. Should the laws be tougher to stop people

begging? Four RAF Typhoons have left their

base in Lincolnshire to spend four months patrolling the skies over the

Baltic states for NATO. They'll months patrolling the skies over the

North East Lincolnshire in remembrance of workers who have lost

their lives. Vigils were held in Grimsby and Scunthorpe as part of

Grimsby and Scunthorpe as p`rt of Workers' Memorial Day ` an annual

event that aims to raise safety awareness in the workplace.

Shorter opening times in museums and asking companies to run leisure

Hull to save money. Hull City Council says they have to m`ke

Scunthorpe struggled in this match and deserved to be behind. The ever
