Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.

The flats earmarked for demolition despite people

The Canadian Lancaster bombdr heads home after wowing the crowds

We knew it was going to be big, but not as big as it was.

The crowds have been fantastic everywhere.

A ladies' dance group from Lincoln are preparing to perform

It will be a wet night but tomorrow will be better. Join me for the

weather forecast. Hundreds of residents in six blocks

of flats in Grimsby say their community will be destroyed

when their homes are torn down. The high rises on East Marsh will be

demolished because just over half of the people living there said

they were in favour of the `ction. The Local Housing Association

says it will offer alternathves to I will miss it. You will not get a

view like this. A self`cont`ined penthouse apartment offering amazing

views. It is easy to see whx 76`year`old Barry and his whfe were

attracted to the flat. But soon the home of 15 years will be nothing

more but rubble. I will miss being here. I will miss being abld to come

out here when the sun is out and sit here and enjoy it. I like to see

what is going on around me. I like to see what is coming up thd river.

You are not going to get th`t down there. Hundreds of residents have

now been told they will havd to move. Shoreline Housing Partnership

says they will demolish all of the tower blocks. Even though wd were

told about it months ago, it has come as a real shock. We had built

up trust and relationships with the people around here. The dechsion

follows a public consultation during which 52% were in favour of the

move. Tenants will be rehoused. Many are angry. Where are they going to

go? They are not going to go to Humberston, Immingham, or W`ltham.

They want to stay in this community. It has not been decided what will

happen to the space yet. New housing is a possibility. The high`rise

flats are expensive to run `nd they need significant investment.

Sometimes you have to make bold decisions for a long`term g`me. We

tried to create a positive legacy for the organisation and for the

future generations who want to live in houses managed by a houshng

association like us. Although it is difficult for the current tdnants,

we hope it is in the long`tdrm interest of the area. The process of

moving people out of these flats and putting them into alternative

accommodation will begin next week. However, it could be a numbdr of

years before these buildings are demolished. We will be asking for

your views in a minute. Joining me now is

the chief executive of the Shoreline There is currently a shortage of

accommodation. It is predicted there will be a houses lacking by this

time next year. Do you think this is a problem? This is not true of every

area. In some areas there is a surplus of housing. East Marsh is

one of these areas. These are vulnerable people who want to stay

in the community. Do you accept that it is a difficult situation?

Absolutely. This decision h`s not been taken lightly. We have spent

two years thinking about it. It is also been out for consultathon. We

are very clear that this will have a personal impact. How will everyone

be re`homed. How will that work There will be someone supporting

them. We have over 1000 lettings are here that we have access to. We are

talking about sex blocks of flats. In one block, the majority voted to

stay. Why can they not remahn where they are? It is difficult on that

kind of the state to pick and choose. We have heard from the old

people that they would like us to look at providing them... However,

Mike can the building that voted to remain not remain the? It whll

remain a huge amount of mondy to be spent on it. Some people have been

living there for years. Thex will be put out after all these years. We

are very sensitive to that hssue, but you must remember that these

blocks are over 50 years old. Surely something can be done? We could

spend millions of pounds on the blocks, but we have to ask whether

it is good value for money for the charity. The Queen `` the cleaners

say that you have not been clear with them. They are risk of

redundancy, that is true. I met with them yesterday. What is your message

to residents who are watching tonight? We want to work with you

and to provide support and legal to come up with a good solution. Thank

you for joining us. Should the flats be demolished

when there is a housing shortage and Or do you agree with Shorelhne that

they are too costly to maintain Contact us using the details

try to get the money to rebtild his life, even

though the law says killers should Lisa Clay's family,

who live in Lincolnshire ` where she grew`up, say they are

devastated by the legal acthon. Lisa Clay, who grew up in Boston

in Lincolnshire, and her son Joseph were stabbed to

death in their own home They were killed by Paul Ch`dwick `

Lisa's partner of 11 years He admitted manslaughter

on the grounds of diminished responsibility and is currently

detained in a secure unit. But now Chadwick is in court again `

this time asking a judge to award Chadwick argues that Lisa Clay would

have wished him to inherit the ?80,000 of her estate,

as he said he was "very unwdll" The law says that those convicted

of murder or manslaughter c`nnot inherit from their victims,

but the rules can be modifidd in certain cases ` and that is

the loophole that Chadwick hs hoping In a statement, Lisa's aunt,

Greta Squires, who lives in Boston, said, "It was sickening to hear

his evidence. What that man did to Lisa and Joseph

was brutal. He has robbed them of a futtre

and devastated our lives. And now he wants to use thehr money

to improve his life and his future." The Judge will decide

tomorrow whether Chadwick But Lisa and Joseph's familx say,

whatever the result, the court case has been another ten

months of torture for them. Keith Etherington is from Slater

and Gordon Lawyers I asked him what

their reaction was to her khller They were devastated to recdive the

court proceedings not long `fter this terrible crime had been

committed. It was not long `fter the man had been convicted. It came as a

enormous shock. Most people will be thinking this is very far`fdtched.

Is it possible he could win? It is not far`fetched. The law is designed

to assist some types of manslaughter to allow people to bring cl`ims of

this type. The law says that you cannot inherit from victims. I

understand the rules can be modified, but is this one of those

cases? The law can be modifhed with the judge believes that the person

who committed the crime was not culpable and they did not know what

they were doing at the time. And he is picking up a good case. She was

clearly unwell at the time. Will that carry some weight. We say that

this was a brutal crime and the rule should not be relaxed in thdse

particular circumstances. It was a brutal crime against a woman and a

child. In evidence yesterdax we heard that both of them werd trying

to defend themselves. Do yot think that he will win? It is not

impossible but we are doing our best for the family. Thank you for

joining us. We will let you know what happens tomorrow.

Well, the police were called to the railway sidings near to

Cottam Powr Station just before 3PM this afternoon.

This is a Greenpeace protest against the damage the use of coal

for power generation, which is the dirtiest of the fossil fuels.

It appears to be a well org`nised, well thought out demonstrathon.

Protestors brought the train to a stop using emergency sign`ls,

then climbed on top using l`dders and started to unloading thd coal.

They also placed a life`sizd moving polar bear at the front

of the train, an attempt to make a point about global warming and

Greenpeace representatives on the train say they want the use of coal

Well, that company is EDF, Peter, and they run the power stathon

Just to be on this transatl`ntic flight is historic. It is a once in

It was amazing. I am so glad that I experienced it and I will ndver

experience it again. It has been absolutely marvellous.

In Lincoln, crowds gathered near the Cathedral to see today's send`off.

But while it has not all gone to plan,

Last month, thousands gathered at RAF W`ddington

to see the two Lancasters flying alongside the Vulcan.

Then the Lancasters flew ovdr Just Jane at East Kirkby `

look at this photograph Danny Stubbs The headline for tomorrow is that it

will be a nice day. There m`y be some rain but that will cle`r and

some light rain. It should be dry. The weekend is also looking

promising. Here is the cold front. This is coming into use torture and

it promises a wet night in Dast Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. The rain

is going southwards but it lay be heavy in places. Lowest temperatures

tonight will be 11`12 Celsits. The sun will rise at 6:50am. Thdre will

be some rain in the morning, but that will clear out of the way. Then

sunshine will sweep across `ll parts in the morning. It will be ` lovely

pleasant with average temperatures of 16`17 Celsius. It will bd quite

a law dating back 150 years could halt ASDA's plans to build

the town's first big superm`rket. The mayor is taking legal action to

try to prove that his office owns the land

and that East Lindsey Counchl has no Here is our business correspondent,

Sarah Corker. Louth is now in for a sense of

identity. However, it is also been locked in a long planning dhspute.

The cattle murky was sold after earlier this summer, but thd

argument is not finished. They will swallow all of the markets `nd there

will be empty shops everywhdre. You have to move with the times. As a

customer I would like a supdrmarket. The latest twist in this dispute

focuses on a legal loophole. The town council says it is signed a

piece of legislation daytimd back to 1848, which could have some doubt on

who owns the site. We may not be able to sell this land as it

theoretically belongs to Lotth. It names the mayor as having the

responsibility. Is this clutching at straws? No. We are an electdd body

with the responsibility to the people Louth. It has been s`id that

the livestock murky is underused and there will be a replacement. Another

campaigner says that we need the supermarket to progress. We are

trying to invest in the town but we keep getting objections. It is time

to let Louth move followed. Weather it is a valid law or a delaxing

tactic, the development is still dividing the community. Now people

are appealing to the courts against the sale.

They are the volunteers who quietly and patiently make sports clubs run.

But they do not need to go unrecognised anymore.

Nominations are open to find the unsung hero of sport for 20 4

Here is a bit about it from our sports reporter, Simon Clark.

For ten years, the unheralddd stars of the sports committee havd been

honoured. A variety of sports have been recognised. The winds have

rubbed shoulders with the sport league at the sports person`lity of

the year award. Last year, this man won and he says that it is opened

doors for his sport. We havd got more teams in the local are` play

basketball. It has opened sdveral doors through funding. It sdems as

though basketball has come to the front. The award is being b`cked by

the BBC, to reach out to more community sports than ever before.

We support many grassroots initiatives. Many of the people

running them give up their time for free. The award is a natural fit

because we wanted to say th`nk you to all of the people who give up

their time for free. I hope that this has inspired you to make a

nomination for 2014. The winner gets a night out in Glasgow.

And to put someone forward for the award and get the tdrms

and conditions, you can log onto the BBC Sport website.

Nominations need to be in by the 20th of October.

Mark says when will people hn rented accommodation realise that they do

because they are an eyesore. Another commented that the majority said

they should call, so they should go. Another said, Shoreline Housing
