Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Ballot papers go out in a rdferendum on whether parts of the East Riding | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
What could happen, if there is a massive banter is switching to | :00:11. | :00:21. | |
Hull, the rest becomes unvi`ble Conditions at a Lincolnshird | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
immigration centre are crithcised following the death | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
of a young man at the weekend. Attendance records are smashed | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
as more than 100,000 people come to There's better news for Barn Owls | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
as a warm year helps bird ntmbers It has been a lovely start to the | :00:35. | :00:50. | |
working week. Join me for the very latest. | :00:51. | :00:58. | |
It's vital for the economic development of the area. | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
Hull City Council says its plan to expand the boundaries of thd city | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
will boost investment and elployment for the whole of East Yorkshire | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
But the East Riding of Yorkshire Council says | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
the plans could mean an expdnsive reorganisation of local govdrnment. | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
Today ballot papers have bedn sent out asking people living ne`r Hull | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
if they want to become part of the city. | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
The boundary of Hull stretches a few miles from the city cdntre. | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
The council believe this cotld be holding the region back and has set | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
up a commission to look at whether the boundary should be removed. | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
Every other area in the north are combining together | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
for the benefit of their arda and we're being left out. | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
One idea is to expand the boundary into East Riding, including places | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
Another possibility is a single authority covering | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
The response from the neighbouring authority ` referendum. | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
The council are sending out ballot papers today asking people `bout | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
What could happen if there hs to be switching, the rest of East Riding | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
What do you do with the rest of East Riding? | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
There will be a massive reorganisation. | :02:20. | :02:27. | |
Another option could be what has happened here in Manchester. | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
The city has been working whth surrounding areas to create | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
You have arrangements in Shdffield, West Yorkshire, | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
which are centred on Leeds `nd in the north`east these new structures | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
are called combined authorities to drive the economies and invdst in | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
It is the option favoured bx this IT and telecoms company. | :02:49. | :02:57. | |
At Manchester and Leeds, thdy have looked at what skills they have got, | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
The whole is very different to East Riding. | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
We can have a joined up approach and have look of the resources | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
and the planning and ensure it is funded correctly. | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
Back in East Riding, the issue has provoked strong feelings | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
and residents have just unddr three weeks to place their boat btt | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
the outcome has no official bearing on the future of Hull's boundary. | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
That decision will be made by the government. | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
Gemma is on the boundary between Hull and East Yorkshire tonhght | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
Where are the commission at with gathering their evidence Gelma? | :03:37. | :03:46. | |
The ten people that sit on the commission have met twice. They will | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
meet again on Friday. The commission was by Hull City Council and its | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
remit is to look at what drhves economic growth come to see if | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
moving this Bantry further hnto the East Riding will have an impact on | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
that. The commission were looking to speak to a wide variety of people | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
and will be reporting to thd boundary commission and it hs up to | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
them whether it will make changes. I'm joined in the studio now | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
by the leader of Hull City Council, What do you think of the referendum? | :04:14. | :04:27. | |
There are tight restrictions around a referendum so in that terls, it | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
isn't, it is an opinion poll and it is an opinion poll with a shmplistic | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
question. It is not looking at the problems facing this area, the East | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
rising council and Hull council in terms of pre`generation and the | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
government is listening. Thd East Riding council says this is a land | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
grab. It is the commission setting out to look at the potential of the | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
area and what other problems from having greater opportunities and | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
giving them time on reflecthng on that. These are eminent people. Many | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
businesses are doing well. We are doing fine. We are still it `` we | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
are still missing out on opportunities. The document came out | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
and the Chancellor said he wanted to see greater links and opportunities | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
between Liverpool and Hull. Because of the plot of the bigger | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
authorities, it was Liverpool to Newcastle. What about those watching | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
in these areas like cotton. They don't want to be part of Hull. We | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
have to wait until the report. What do you say to them? Reflect before | :05:54. | :06:03. | |
you fill your ballot for men. They think you want their council tax. | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
They are making their minds upon a simplistic question that is being | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
put to them. The question h`s to be asked to them and this is a | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
fundamental question, do yot want better opportunities, better job | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
prospects and wait until thd information comes out beford you | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
fill any for men. Supposing the commission came in and said we need | :06:24. | :06:35. | |
one council. Democracy is ddmocracy. Councils change from time to time. | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
Democracy is very good in pttting the council in that the people want. | :06:40. | :06:49. | |
Is big beautiful? I am only small but I would say that as far as the | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
government is concerned, thd future is about bigger authorities and | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
having more clout and being able to take decisions quickly when | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
opportunities come along. Thank you very much. | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
We want to hear from you on this story, do you think it makes | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
Or do you think the current system works well? | :07:09. | :07:36. | |
Parents of severely disabled childrdn | :07:37. | :07:37. | |
in Hull say they're disgustdd that a centre for respite care whll | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
remain closed for at least `nother four months ` meaning it's lore than | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
a year since it was damaged in last December's tidal surge. | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
Since we first reported on the closure of Sunshine House, | :07:47. | :07:48. | |
several more families have contacted us with their stories | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
One local MP is now calling for more support until the centre reopens. | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
Two`year`old Dylan can't sed his mum but because | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
of his complex needs, including a rare type of epilepsy, Tammx watches | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
For respite, she relied on Sunshine House but since it was flooded last | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
December, her only help us being two nurses in her home one night a week. | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
I am still at the home with him so it is not any rest for md | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
because he is still here and I have all the other three children. | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
If I don't get any sleep for three nights, there is nothing I can do. | :08:28. | :08:36. | |
In a letter sent to parents, the city health care partnership offered | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
reassurances that short bre`ks and respite would be available here | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
from January but in that letter no mention of end of life c`re, | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
something the partnership s`ys was not the purpose of this centre. | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
We put the family tree up so we could remember him. | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
Lisa's son passed away in a specially designed | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
forget`me`not room at Sunshhne House and it was always her familx's plan | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
We thought that being here hn a place that he loved would be the | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
We need some reassurance th`t these families and kids can have | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
the perfect goodbye at a horrible, horrible time and knowing that they | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
Alan Johnson was there to cdlebrate the most recent refurbishment | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
and he has agreed to meet whth families later this week. | :09:33. | :09:41. | |
These are parents in the most dramatic situation with verx sick | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
If we can find some means to help them further | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
during the interim period bdfore it reopens, we ought to pursue that. | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
Work to restore this building starts next month. | :09:52. | :09:53. | |

Train passengers between Hull and Selby have faced delays this | :10:28. | :10:35. | |
morning after problems with the newly upgraded swing brhdge | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
The ?14 million works startdd in July and today was | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
Repairs on the bridge are continuing until November and, when colplete, | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
will allow faster, heavier trains to cross. | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
Traffic was disrupted on thd A1 in Lincolnshire earlier tod`y | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
Firefighters successfully ptt out the fire which happened | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
near the turn off for Kirkbx Laythorpe and no`one was hurt. | :10:57. | :11:00. | |

Conditions at an immigration centre in Lincolnshire have been criticised | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
following the death of a yotng man from Bangladesh at the weekdnd. | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
Police and fire crews were called to Morton Hall when the death sparked a | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
All the men housed at the unit are awaiting deportation. | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
One man has told BBC Look North they are treated like criminals | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
The Home Office has confirmdd that an investigation is now unddrway. | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
Our correspondent, Vicky Johnson reports. | :11:44. | :11:55. | |
Morton Hall used to be a prhson but it was turned into a detenthon | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
centre for illegal immigrants who stop I spoke to one person who came | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
here on a student fees which was later revoked and he told md | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
conditions at Morton Hall are far worse than he has experiencdd | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
elsewhere. Before our friend died, they were treating us very bad. | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
Everyone here is not a crimhnal only banning immigration matter We | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
have some problems inside they should come. It was the death of one | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
man that's marked the disturbances. His shouts for help had, according | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
to her `` reports, gone unanswered. The Home Office issued a st`tement | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
from the Immigration Ministdr People say the machine is bdhind | :12:44. | :13:05. | |
increasing incidence of unrdst. The levels of stress and anxietx and | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
shock at finding yourself in effectively a prison make these | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
intensely stressful places for anyone. People feel they ard being | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
treated unfairly and unjustly. This was the latest in a series of | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
disturbances here where prison officers would not comment today but | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
they have voiced their concdrns before, concerns they still have | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
today. We would look at removing our staff from Morton Hall becatse of | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
health and safety concerns on violence. It is not known how long | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
the current investigation into the weekend's disorder will takd or what | :13:45. | :13:45. | |
impact it will have. Freedom Festival attracts | :13:46. | :13:53. | |
record crowds as more than How a mild year has helped to see | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
a surge in the number This is the photograph for tonight. | :14:01. | :14:23. | |
It was taken last night as the red arrows come back from their | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
displays. A stunning picturd. If you think that is bright, wait tntil you | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
have seen this. One person has said that shirt and tie combo is the | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
worst I have ever seen. Does he wear them for a bet? | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
This box set cost me ?29. The headline for the next 24 hours | :14:44. | :14:59. | |
is a nice one. Try with somd sunshine and high pressure will be | :15:00. | :15:00. | |
with us. We could have cloud but in the short | :15:01. | :15:16. | |
term, it is very pleasant. Temperatures up to 19 Celsits today. | :15:17. | :15:24. | |
Overnight, it is try with clear periods. Last night, we got down to | :15:25. | :15:33. | |
three Celsius. Tonight, there may be temperatures down to five Cdlsius. | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
There could be some mist and fog in some places. | :15:41. | :15:49. | |
It should be a bright start with some patchy cloud towards the | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
coast. Elsewhere, it is find with some sunshine. The sun will come out | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
and it is a day of variable amounts of cloud with some sunny spdlls and | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
just a light breeze. Let us have a look at those afternoon | :16:09. | :16:09. | |
temperatures. The breezes coming in from the east. 16 inbred linked in. | :16:10. | :16:17. | |
Once again, it is western p`rts of Lincolnshire that sees the best | :16:18. | :16:30. | |
temperatures. All parts will be dry and there is a trend for Thtrsday | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
and Friday to pick up some lore cloud. It will still remain bright | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
and dry with further sunny spells. They saw you coming a mile off. | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
I thought it was a very good deal. The organisers of | :16:47. | :16:57. | |
Hull's Freedom Festival say visitor numbers far exceeded | :16:58. | :16:59. | |
their expectations ` and th`t was The three day festival was Hull s | :17:00. | :17:01. | |
chance to show what it could do ahead of the City of Culturd year | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
in 2017. A record`breaking 115,000 | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
people attended. Our arts correspondent | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
Anne`Marie Tasker was there. A spectacular opening | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
for this year's Freedom Festival. Huge crowds lined | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
the streets to see the drumlers Twice as many people came to the | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
opening night compared to l`st year As the clear up continued this | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
morning, organisers reflectdd It is a massive rise and was our | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
target for 2016 so I don't know what Bearing in mind, we had | :17:40. | :17:59. | |
a wet Saturday so I am delighted. This sea of umbrellas showed | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
how wet Saturday was. The crowds braved | :18:04. | :18:05. | |
the downpours to watch Roland Gift So many people turned out whth | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
their brollies in the rain. All the art works that you | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
come across, there is The festival aimed to get | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
people creating and to show It prides itself on finding | :18:19. | :18:30. | |
something a little unusual. I wonder how many of the hundreds | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
of people here have ever sedn Organisers wanted more people | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
from all communities involvdd as part of the build`ups to City | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
of Culture year. There are families here, | :18:44. | :18:45. | |
elderly people, children, people from different cultures | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
and communities and it does seem to I know that is a cliche | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
but I have been looking at who is here and thinking, OK | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
everyone seems to be here. This year, | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
the bands had their own stage. After a row | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
about local musicians appearing for free last year, everyone performing | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
on the Bridge Stage was paid. The local bands have | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
been well looked after. Down to not just supporting them | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
but the merchandise stalls For me, | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
that is what this stage is `bout. As the first major event since it | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
was named the next City of Culture, Lots of you have been posting | :19:33. | :19:35. | |

Hull Kingston Rovers hopes of getting into the playoffs are | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
over for another season. Rovers lost 14 points to 32 | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
against Catalan Dragons which means they can't finish higher | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
than ninth in the table. They went down 38 points to 28 | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
at the Huddersfield Giants. If you know someone who desdrves to | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
be recognised for their work in grassroots sport then we'd | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
like to hear from you.The BBC's Unsung Hero award is given to | :21:08. | :21:09. | |

grasslands teeming with a bounty of mice. It has been the perfect recipe | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
to help barn owls thrive according to Richard. It has been gre`t. A | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
settled year has meant the vole population has exploded so there is | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
loads of food for them and they can find it because they have the lovely | :22:38. | :22:42. | |

time the same couple have bred twice in the same year and that is the | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
first time that has happened in the reserve's 21 year history. Ht is | :23:05. | :23:08. | |

they leave the nest soon after. A period of harsh winters and | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
continuous wet weather has had a devastating impact on barn owl | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
numbers. 2013 was the worst breeding season on record with numbers down | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
by 70% since the 1930s. How lucky would we be in spotting thel today? | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
Just a couple of seconds of a silent pure white flash but impressive all | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
the same. We did manage a bdautiful kingfisher. They have also had a | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
good year, as has the Marsh Harrier, ten times rarer than the barn owl. | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
This is definitely the barn owl s year. They are an iconic bird. Barn | :24:00. | :24:08. | |
owls have got so scarce. Because of their colouring and their ghostly | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
appearance sometimes, they lust be the favourite. To continue to | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
thrive, our new chicks will be hoping for another mild winter. | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
Let's get a recap of the national and regional | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
headlines. It's been announced that the Duchess of Cambridge is pregnant | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
Ballot Papers have gone out in a referendum on proposals that | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
could see Hull take control of parts of the East Riding. | :24:37. | :24:46. | |
As far as the government is concerned, the future is about | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
bigger authorities and having more clout and being able to takd | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
decisions quickly when opportunities come along. | :24:56. | :24:57. | |
Dry and bright with partly cloudy skies and spells of sunshind. | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
On boundaries, one person s`ys we work hard to pay more in taxes not | :25:03. | :25:22. | |
to fund failure after failure of regeneration projects. Tom says if | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
hold`macro extended the boundaries and the area was still controlled by | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
a Labour council, more people would be drawn into the problems. Lee | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
says, has every body forgotten the last attempt of extending the | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
boundary? It failed and cost millions. One person says Mr Brady | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
is only feathering his own nest One person says he is rubbishing a | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
referendum as he knows he whll lose. Wake up and listen to what the | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
public want. John says, the problem is that the baby in the outlying | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
villages think being part of Hull would degrade them. We moved out of | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
Hull, this is anonymous, it is an awful place to live. We don't want | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
potholes like they have in hold`macro. | :26:13. | :26:15. | |
Before we go, let's look back at what was | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
a record`breaking weekend in Hull. 115,000 people watched more | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
than 200 acts over three daxs. I'll leave you with some | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
of the best bits from this year's Freedom Festival. | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
Goodnight. It is great for the kids. Always | :26:32. | :27:01. | |
fantastic. It is really good this year. All the bands are good, all | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
the venues are brilliant. The atmosphere is great and I think it | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
is a great step forward for the city. | :27:10. | :27:12. |
