And don't forget the detaildd forecast for next weekend, join me

for the details. Inspectors say children in

North East Lincolnshire are being put at a disadvantage because their

local council is not giving enough Ofsted, the government's schools

watchdog, says North East Lincolnshire Council gives `ttention

to the weakest schools while slightly better schools are

not given appropriate attention Ofsted warns that schools in

North East Lincolnshire are only improving marginally, saying parents

and children deserve better. In response, the council,

which is based in Grimsby, says most schools in its area are academies

and are not under its control. They do say every child desdrves

a good education and that most Academy schools in North East

Lincolnshire. These were among seven inspected earlier than planned by

Ofsted Ahmed concerns about the level of support. We inspected the

number of schools because your chances of sending a child to the

good outstanding skill are luch lower than in other parts of

Yorkshire. All secondary schools and many remedies in the north`dast are

run as academies but how do the work and why are they different? Before

they were introduced, money would pass from the Department of

education to local councils who pass it on to schools and oversed how

they are run. What academies the money goes straight from central

government to the skill itsdlf effectively pushing aside dhrect

involvement from local authorities, and they can use money from business

and charities. In extreme circumstances they can go dhrectly

to the Secretary of State and say they are being let down by `cademy

sponsors. The oasis Academy in Grimsby was one of those inspected

and phones to require improvement. The local authority is stuck between

a rock and a hard place bec`use only one hand have a duty to makd sure

skills improve but on the other hand and a hard place because on the one

hand we have a duty to make sure skills improve but on the other hand

no legal power to enforce them to do that. You would hope all schools

want to improve and I cannot imagine there's a school in the country that

does not want to get better at what it does. As long as he is s`fe and

learning loads. I can only go by the progress my daughter is makhng and I

am happy at that. Despite sdveral requests, the council refusdd to

make anybody available for hnterview today but released a statemdnt. It

pointed out 76% of primary schools were judged as good in the `rea but

technology is a particular problem with just 33% meeting the s`me

level. It went on to say schools facing challenges face a higher

level of support but academhes are different because responsibhlity

lies with the Department of education. The government h`s said

tonight the quality of educ`tion in Lincolnshire has been not good

enough for too long. I spoke to Jonathan Simons from

the Think Tank Policy Exchange and started by asking him if a local

authority can wash their hands of a They absolutely cannot and hn fact

the opposite. They have a responsibility to ensure all

children in the area are receiving a higher level of education. Hf a

school is not under local atthority control our Ofsted wrong to point

the finger? They are right because if they are not doing their job

properly and advocating for all children and providing high`quality

services and formerly raising concerns, Ofsted is right to

criticise them. It is interdsting because the local authority does not

have the role of bass but are still expected to monitor the Academy

Some would say that is not puite fair. It is not the boss but it has

the responsibility. It has ` responsibility to advocate on behalf

of those children. Is it fe`r the council gets accused of

underachieving when they ard not in overall responsibility? It has that

they are not doing the things we ought to be doing, providing

high`quality services and advocating for high standards and raishng

concerns before it gets to the stage of a full inspection, it saxs. The

academies here are equally `t fault because F Ofsted says they `re

underperforming they have a responsibility to make that well, so

the system works but we havd an evolving role. Have academids

appeared to quickly? I do not think they have and are responding to pay

rental demand. `` pay rental `` parental.

We want to hear from you on this story, do you think it's

right that the council should monitor academies even though they

Parking permit charges could more than triple

It would bring Hull into line with places including Scunthorpe

and Grimsby, and the council says it will help reduce financi`l

But some residents say they can't afford the increase.

Match speed graphic, states never designed for cars and city centre

parking. Right now these permits are either free or cost ?7 50 btt the

city council is now ready to raise charges. Something pensioner Eric

Hendry says he will struggld to afford. It'll be hard to pax that

every year. We're not even guaranteed our parking. The council

insists it is currently subsidising residential parking zones. How much

does it cost to run a parking zone? Once it is set up, something like

this cost ?9,000 to administer in terms of maintenance and parking

enforcement but the council only brings an end, of ?5,000 whhch means

it is losing ?4000 in this zone alone. Well residents put up with

paying more? If you don't gdt a permit you cannot park in the street

where you live. ?33 works ott at less than a pound a week so it is

not a lot. I would pay it, what can I do? I do not know about v`lue for

money. But that is the test for Eric Pickles who has spoken out `gainst

unfair town parking rules and said increases can only cover costs and

not make a profit. An annual parking permit and Scunthorpe will cost ?50

and in Grimsby it is ?80 whhle in Skegness it will set you back ? 20.

Tonight Hull City Council s`ys no decisions have been made but the

actual reviewing all happen at a time when they still need to find

savings. At the moment, 10,000 permits have been issued and of

those, most are roamed the KC Stadium to cope with match days for

rugby and football crowds. Tp until now many homes have not had to pay

for a permit, however the chty council has never guaranteed that

and it has not been reviewed since 2008. It would make things lore

equitable. I have been speaking to a member of the local governmdnt

information unit, an organisation supported by councils, and `sked him

whether he thought increases of more than 300% is acceptable. I think it

is. It looks like a big increase as a percentage but if you consider the

total figure lower than othdr places places and the Legion. Many will

think it is not fair to be charged to park outside your own hole. The

council has a responsibilitx to manage places and such a wax they

meet the needs of all residdnts keeping traffic moving and reducing

pollution and congestion. Btt you are paying to park and does not even

guarantee you a spot. Many will say the council is acting as a cash

cow? Only one in five counchls report making any form of strplus on

parking, and you have to relember councils cannot make money `nd do

not have shareholders. Any hncome they bring and is spent on other

activities such as looking `fter vulnerable children, protecting the

elderly. 11, not polluted and the local

economy being served. When xou try to make those decisions, sole people

will be unhappy. In Skegness, ? 20 is the figure. That is on a par with

London and does not even gu`rantee you a spot. What is important is

that these decisions are made by democratically elected and

accountable local bodies. and be able to maintain the fitness

levels, so that will mean they are likely to be sacked.

action against 40 people. They should not be subjected to `buse or

intimidation from a small group of freeloaders simply here in ten on

not paying for anything. Is it a big issue or are you overreacting? Last

year we had a permanent enc`mpment here all summer. We could not find

any in the area today. Thesd height barriers have been put up to stop

births by her first baby was born after an emergency Caesarean, and

this time around she has had a natural delivery. I feel like I can

take on the task but before it was my first baby and it was like a new

experience. She had her babx in Scunthorpe which has reduced the

Caesarean rate to around 16$, the second lowest in the countrx. They

have done this by offering women one`to`one support before and during

the Labour. When they comment, we try to keep them as mobile `s

possible, so it is about ushng the birth pool and we also have a coach,

but it is about mobilising them as much as possible. Teamwork has also

proved crucial. The staff work together to recognise the ilportance

of encouraging normal delivdries and reducing intervention. This

consultant is based in Hull and he admits his department could be doing

more. What we should be doing is having a proper discussion with the

ladies right at the very beginning, starting when the goal home after

Caesareans. A shortage of mhdwives is happening some efforts. To be

able to give good care, that entails one`to`one care, providing good

psychological and emotional support. You have to have enough to provide

that model. While some babids will always have to be delivered

surgically, good teamwork could help keep Caesarean sections to `

minimum. New figures show ?300,000 h`s been

Another says why does the council not charge people for walking down

the road as it is wailing at the pavements? Typical council loney

grabbing. The way I see yet, the houses were here before the stadium

and if anything the council should pay us for the permits. Thank you

for those, enjoy your evening. Join me tonight. Goodbye.
