21/05/2014 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

Putin's That's all from the BBC News at Six.

Actions in Ukraine and Nat C Good evening and welcome to

BBC Look North. Plans to ban street drinking

in one Lincolnshire town. Every street corner, corner, people

are drinking. It is threatening. A murder investigation begins

after a man is shot dead Is this the smallest lamb

in the world? Join me for the latest in the

weather. Banning drinking

in public places will criminalise That's the view of one organisation

opposed to a plan for a drinking ban Boston Borough Councillors meet

tonight to talk about introducing the ban which comes after police

figures show crime linked to daytime drinking is far higher in Boston

than the rest of Lincolnshire. In a moment we'll hear

from the Freedom Association about their concerns but first Jake

Zuckerman reports from the town. a public consultation in which 97%

wanted a total ban. Yes, it would be nice in some ways. It is unfortunate

for the decent people who might want a picnic with a glass of wine in the

park. It has got worse over the past few years. Never seen so many drugs

as you see now. Since 2007, Legislation planned for next year

will allow a total ban for all alcohol drinking to be imposed in

public areas. Some councillors want any plan to cover the entire

borough. Helen organises litter patrols, where volunteers constantly

find discarded beer cans. I think the impact of a town centre ban will

send people to the outlying areas and to their villages, and drink

there, on the nature reserves. This police statistics show the scale of

the problem. In 2013, 9.1% of all police incident in Boston were

alcohol`related. That is considerably higher than the

Lincolnshire average of 6.6%. In the last six years, the number of

off`licences in the town has increased by more than two thirds,

from 35 to 59. Police boat and 96 people in the streets drinking, last

year. The older generation sometimes feel it is daunting coming into the

town centre, because if there are groups of individuals that are under

the influence of alcohol, they feel it is difficult for them to feel

secure while there, and shop. While public support for drinking ban in

Boston may be high, the legislation to make it possible is still some

way off. Councillors may vote for this, but

what has been the police response to this? They will have to it.

The police and crime commission, Alan Hardwick, says he supports

tougher measures to try and prevent irresponsible street drinking, which

has a negative impact on society and complete anti`social behaviour. He

says tackling it is a high priority for the police, and he has some

meetings scheduled soon with local MP Matt Simmons and the State

Minister for crime prevention, Norman Baker is, to discuss the

specific issues Boston faces. I spoke to Joe Hart about whether a

ban on drinking in public everywhere is a good way to reduce anti`social

behaviour. Not at all. People are already drink alcohol in public are

not going to be dissuaded by this. If drinking ban would stop the drugs

and bad behaviour, you would welcome it and it has got to be a good thing

hasn't hurt `` stop the drinking and bad behaviour.

Filip says, I cannot see why people should be allowed to drink alcohol

in public anyway. Weren't many people think like that? I don't

think so. When people realise it will restrict their behaviour, they

will not be allowed to do things they enjoy in public, like having a

picnic and a glass of wine, so they will not be fans of this. Although

people do not drink in public like this. It will only affect those who

drink and at Berkeley. Those people are already breaking the law.

Maybe you don't live in one of these areas were drugs in the street at

causing bad behaviour `` where people drinking in the street are

causing bad behaviour. They will not have the time to focus on the small

number of individuals that cause these problems. But I will be taken

up by the somebody having a glass of wine with a picnic in the park,

doing something reasonable. When was the last time you sat in a Park

having a can of lighter? It is a very small number of people. In

summer, I like to have a glass of wine with a picnic in the park. I am

responsible. Why should I be criminalised? Very good to talk to

you. Do you agree with the

Freedom Association that a ban is Or is a blanket ban needed

to solve the problem? Is it fair that this should cover

everyone We will have some of your responses

before the end of the programme. That meeting is tonight and we

should have a decision on that in our late bulletin. Thank you for

watching. In a moment: Senior politicians make

a final scramble for votes ahead of tomorrow's council and Euro

elections. Police remain in the quiet

East Yorkshire village of Melton tonight after a man was killed

there yesterday evening. Officers say he suffered serious

injuries and may have been shot. Three people are in police custody,

two men and a 15`year`old boy. A massive police presence,

road closures in Melton, and last night, extra security

at Hull Royal Infirmary. It follows what neighbours described

as the sound of gun shots at a house on Melton Old Road

at five o'clock yesterday evening. An incident leaving one man dead,

and another in hospital with serious,

but non`life`threatening injuries. There appears to have been a dispute

which has led to these consequences. And we are looking for a firearm? We

believe the injuries are consistent with a firearm being discharged. We

were sitting with friends in the garden having a few glasses of

wine. We heard a bang. It's odd nothing, really. We were just having

a drink and then we had lots of silence. For something like that up

in our doorstep, it is surprisingly. Two men and a 15`year`old boy remain

under arrest. I spoke to the family and mother of the deceased, who came

to pay tribute to a son who is now at the centre of a murder enquiry.

Scenes of crime officers have been trying to determine the chain of

events which led to the injury of one man and the death of another.

Not many people knew them. It has been a family dispute, I understand,

and it got out of hand. Formal identification of the dead man has

still to take place, with police investigations still continuing,

although tonight, a family mourns. Hometown`macro has the highest

number of repossessions. According to a survey, one in 79 homes was

taken back in the last year. Energy companies planning to drill for oil

in the Lincolnshire Wolds said there could be 10 million barrels of oil

per need the services. A spy plane from RAF Waddington

remains grounded after being sent to help search for 200 kidnapped school

girls from Nigeria. The Sentinel left Lincolnshire

on Sunday morning, but had to land in Senegal

because of technical problems. The Ministry of Defence says work to

repair the aircraft is continuing. A Typhoon jet

from RAF Coningsby has been given a make`over to commemorate the 70th

anniversary of D`Day next month. The aircraft has been given

the black stripes that all British planes wore to make them easier to

recognise and avoid friendly fire. The Typhoon showed off

its new paint job this afternoon. The recognisable role of the typhoon

was head above the skies of Lincolnshire today `` the

recognisable roar. It was performing spectacular moves. There was

something different about this fighter. We have put this on for the

anniversary of D`day, invasion stripes. The stripes really make

this unique. The black and white markings replicate those seen on the

Hawker typhoons used in World War II. There are none left in existence

that can still fly. One man who knows the importance of those

printed on stripes is better and John Byrne. It was for recognition.

They fired at anything. By having those on, it was easier to know they

were friendly. This modern Typhoon flew alongside this, and original

Spitfire that took part in the D`day landings. Spitfire are amazing.

They're not difficult fly at all. They were built for careful handling

to could concentrate on fighting and not flying. The pilots say it is an

honour and a privilege to fly these planes, and they will be doing

chateau at eight shows across the country. `` they will be doing so at

air shows across the county. Still to come: The plan to repeat

the success of the Larkin toes that were dotted around Hull. And small,

but not silent. The Lambert could break a record.

Small and not silent, tonight's photograph is of sunrise, taken by

Emma Anderson. Thank you for that. Another one tomorrow. Quite a few

here. Mike in long wrist and said, can you ask your mate what happens

to the rain, I did not water on the strength of his forecasts and have

hundreds of dead plants, is he going to reimburse me?

The forecast was for scattered thunderstorms, and if you look in a

dictionary, scattered means scattered, so some people will get

them and some people want. We got it wrong, then.

Plenty of water tonight for your plans.

Bit late now. Are warning of heavy rain. You don't

have to water up this evening because there is plenty coming.

Tomorrow, the rain is coming a bit more quickly than we thought. There

will be a scattering of thunderstorms tomorrow. Trouble has

been brewing over France today. The rain has jumped across the Channel.

It will move north westwards through the night. Hometown`macro has been

about the warmest place in the country today, with around 22

Celsius. It is very nice but that we will see cloud thickening. There

could be some localised flooding in places. A wet start across these

more western areas. The rain will quickly pull away north westwards.

We will see a scattering of thunder showers. Top afternoon temperatures,

15 or 16. 20 Celsius in Lane. Scattered showers over the weekend.

Mike says, I will continue to watch look North four is informed content.

As for the weather, I will treat you as a guide. He says, and he is not

as pretty as the other presenter. He is not on about you there, is it?

No. Today has seen the last full day

of campaigning in the Local Politicians have been out

in force across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire

in a last`minute push for votes. After the welcome from his

conservative opponents, Ed Miliband tot housing in Lincoln. The house he

really wants is the one currently occupied by this man. David Cameron

was campaigning a few miles away in your work with Boris Johnson.

Council elections will take place tomorrow in Hull, Lincoln and

north`east Lincolnshire. A third of council seats in these three

authorities will be up for grabs. Meanwhile, voters everywhere can

take part in European elections to decide who represents them in the

European Parliament. The ballot paper will look something like this.

He will put a cross by the party of your choice, and the number of seats

that party secures depends on the percentage vote they receive

tomorrow. Six MEPs will represent Yorkshire and Humber region. Five

MEPs will represent the East Midlands region, covers

Lincolnshire. Many people have sent in their ballot papers by post, but

I asked some voters in Hull whether they would be making the trip to the

polling station. I always vote because if I don't, it is a vote

wasted. Are you voting tomorrow? Yes. I will fill the form in and I

am ready. Will you be voting tomorrow. No, because I don't

believe in any of the parties. At the minute, I will not vote for any

of them. I you voting tomorrow? Yes. It is important because the

country is going down the pan. It is our democratic right. In order to

have an opinion you have to be able to substantiate it. I think it is

important. Polling stations will be open from 7am until ten p.m..

Thanks for all your comments about the rise in season ticket

Russ Wilcox was selling passes for last budget for next season. The

fans are the life and soul of the football club. It is nice to give

that personal touch. There are some great fixtures look forward to. It

is nice to give a bit back. They were big and bright,

and they brought ?1 million Now those behind the giant toads

that appeared around the city want to repeat their success in time

for City of Culture. Four years ago, Hull experienced

an amphibian takeover. For ten weeks, the city streets

were home to 40 giant toads and visitors loved it, with more than

100,000 people coming to see them. It even inspired a similar project

in Australia, this time with koalas. We were so inspired by this. It was

fun and friendly. It was a family kind of thing. We thought, we will

do something inspired by toad but different. There will be artists

getting involved and they will be around 70 things dotted around Hull.

It is hoped they will be even more successful than the toad 's

upbringing in visitors. One person has come up with the idea of which

shows that can be transferred `` transformed by each artist. They

will move around the place. There is also this concept of caravans. That

is a reflection of an amazing industry locally. I am really taken

by things coming in and out of the port. I came up with a cute

container. The sculpture ideas were on display in Beverley Minster

today, but they will tour the county until August, when the final designs

will be chosen. What do you think of that? Let me know what you would

like to see. I wonder what happened to my toad. I think it went to live

in a garden in Hull. Hull is in the top ten

of the happiest places to live in the country,

according to a survey of 50 thousand Hull came seventh

in the whole country. The survey also shows Hull was

second only to Harrogate as the It is a great place to live,

darling. Very friendly. I came back last week. It is really nice. I love

it here and I love the people. We have always got a smile on our

faces. It helps everybody else smile. Because of Greek culture 2017

and Hull City getting to Wembley, the Derby, it is a fantastic city.

One thing after another at the moment. Great news.

The owners of a lamb born in Lincolnshire six weeks ago say

they think he's the smallest in the world.

"Titch", who weighed less than half a bag of sugar at birth lives

near Spalding and has been adopted by the family dogs.

Six weeks old, Titch is Belinda's little lamb.

There is no official record for the world's smallest lamb, but this

I never thought of worrying him on the first day. I was more concerned

about keeping alive. I decided to wear on day four.

The other lamb is Titch's cousin, and is a week younger.

But Titch prefers the company of the house pets.

He identifies with the dogs more, definitely. It follows them round.

I'm sure he thinks he is a dog. This home video shows

their relationship started early. The dogs licked Titch clean

when he was first born He is such a character and so

funny. It would be ideal doing films.

When he's bigger, Titch will play in the garden, so can eat

Which might stop him nibbling everything else!

Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines.

The Home Secretary told the police Federation to carry out reforms of

the government will do it for you. And plans to ban street drinking in

Boston, but opponents say it is the wrong approach.

Has already drink and are badly are already breaking the law and the

police have the powers to deal with them. Adding new rules will not stop

that. Tomorrow's weather:

Response coming in and drinking in public places. Kieren says, they

need to ban the really cheap alcohol sold in shops and supermarkets and

lower the cost of jinxing pods. `` lower the cost of drinks in pubs.

Sunday else says, there is no need to drink in the street. Another

person says, who is going to police it? Sue says, I can see the problem

with people drinking in public as long as they behave responsibly. It

is being discussed tonight I Boston Borough Council and
