17/03/2017 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

Good evening, and welcome to BBC Look North.

The latest plan to boost recycling - reducing your collections

I don't know where they get the cheek from, honestly.

They just treat us like idiots, don't they?

Particularly in the summer, the bins are full and waste in there.

So, no, I'd prefer to keep it as it is.

People in rural Lincolnshire say they have a right to internet

that's as fast as cities, and now more villages

for the weekend. Join me later in the programme for the details.

People living in North East Lincolnshire curently

have their bins emptied every week, but now they are facing

the prospect of that changing to collections every

The council is considering several options designed to save them money

Not only would bin collections become less frequent but the bins

Every Friday it is bin day in this part of Grimsby.

North East Lincolnshire still has weekly refuse collections.

Recycling is collected every fortnight.

So nine options have now been put forward which could save hundreds

The options include a fortnightly collection of both waste

and recycling which would save ?430,000 a year through to one

option which would see a collection of waste every three weeks,

possibly even reducing the size of the bin.

The options to keep things as they are now is not on the table.

A number of the proposals would seek collections of the main Bean go to

every three weeks. It is an idea that has not gone down well with

residence. I could maybe do once a fortnight cause I live on my own.

But most families, you fill your pin-up.

For large families it is very difficult.

Particularly in the summer, the bins are full with waste.

I do not know where they get the cheek from, they just treat us

I mean, it is not as if we're going to make a decision.

It's right, it's always wrong, that's what annoys you.

While the idea sounds drastic change some parts of the UK have already

cut waste collection to such levels. Fife Council in Scotland is

trialling a once a month can collection in areas. In North Wales

many people have their bins emptied once a month. And in old it has

changed from fortnightly to every three weeks. The disposal costs for

recycling are cheaper than landfill or incident rate. By diverging waste

into the recycling streams they save money on disposal, particularly

landfill. But even those passionate about the environment say councils

have to be realistic and supermarkets need to rethink

packaging. Let's try to rethink the amount of waste we produce

altogether. The council should be collecting waste from us but we

should also take a responsible act towards recycling.

The North East Lincolnshire Council says no decisions have yet been made

and the changes will be discussed at a meeting next week.

And they hope it would lead to more recycling.

We'll have some before we finish at seven, if you are quick. .

Humberside Police is being held up as an example to other forces -

such as Lincolnshire Police - when it comes to reforming

Figures show there's been a decrease in the number of women the force has

Officers say that's because they're helping them understand what's

driven them to crime, rather than just convicting them.

When women are empowered and they have an opportunity

to work in the community, to keep those contacts

with the family, the outcomes are really, really good

and Humberside are a case in point of what can be achieved.

These are sensible, practical, easy steps that

We did pilot a similar project with men.

Firstly, the volume is far, far higher, and the resources

that we can actually refer them onto are fewer.

The other reason is that men commit different types of offences for

different types of reasons, and what we found is

that the interventions that we've got through the various

charities and schemes are actually more effective with women than men.

People living in a Lincolnshire village have been promised

super-fast broadband by the end of the year.

Residents in Maltby le Marsh near Mablethorpe spoke to BBC

Look North last September, about the impact slow internet

The County Council says the village should be upgraded

by the end of 2017 - but admits there are still thousands

of homes still waiting for faster internet.

For years villagers in Maltby le Marsh have struggled

We filmed with parish councillor Philip Baildon last year,

Since you were here last September we've had a broadband Forum.

He tells me they've now been promised

superfast broadband by the end of the year.

At the moment most people have a speed which is lower

It will make a difference to the local farmers

to submit their orders, also the local caravan site

in the village requires high-speed broadband for their customers.

It is great news because this constituency is going to get nearly

a quarter of the new funding, which means 540 postcodes

within the constituency will have superfast broadband within a year.

The County Council estimates around 93% of homes and businesses

in Lincolnshire should have access to superfast broadband

That's just short of the Government's target of 95%.

But in Mavis Enderby, near Horncastle, villagers

say they'd like fast, never mind superfast broadband!

We have got a daughter-in-law, two grandchildren and communicating

The picture is crashing all the time, the voices are broken up.

Because we are rural, doesn't mean we are in the last century.

We also pay the same as somebody that's in the middle of the city.

The County Council says it is trying to find a solution.

We think that we will probably have to look at alternative technology,

which is probably going to be fixed wireless.

We are looking at that at the moment.

Mavis Enderby, as it sits today, sitting in that 3% that remain,

unfortunately that 3% that will remain is a run of about 10,500

It's not a small number but certainly we are looking

But it could be more than a year before that work takes place,

while the OnLincolnshire Partnership, between the Council

and BT, continues to extend the county's superfast coverage.

I'll be on radio Humberside at six o'clock. Will you be getting up?

We'll all be tuned in. You probably won't be awake! The weekend is

probably not as bad as we thought it was going to be. Let's have a

rundown of what we are expecting. A lot of clout, although there will be

a little bit of brightness tomorrow. It'll a rather windy weekend

especially Sunday. The risk of rain on Sunday, a lot of uncertainty for

Sunday. Parts of Yorkshire are expecting wet weather. Fairly

tightly packed isobars. On Saturday I don't think will get much rain.

There is a greater risk of rain on Sunday. Saturday is the better of

the two. Less windy as well. A lot of clout at the moment and it is

very windy, a little patchy rain, but that will tend to ease

overnight. Generally cloudy, dry, windy conditions this evening with

the wind easing overnight. Temperatures falling back to around

seven or 8 degrees. The sun will rise at ten past six tomorrow

morning. Tomorrow we are looking at fairly cloudy conditions, but with

some breaks allowing brighter spells. Quite breezy but not as

windy as today or Sunday. You will notice a bit of blue on the

graphics, there won't be much rain tomorrow. Very light and patchy,

just a few spots in the wind now and then. Generally the emphasis

tomorrow for most places for most of the time will be windy. Greater risk

of rain on Sunday. A lot of uncertainty, if you have any outdoor

plans keep tuned over the weekend. I will have been up for about three

hours I will have been up for about three

hours by the time you come on the radio but will tune in. It'll help

you nod off again. It always does. So that's radio

Humberside tomorrow. A football club from

North East Lincolnshire which began life as a boys' side less than 20

years ago is on the verge Cleethorpes Town meet

Bromsgrove in the second leg of the FA Vase semi final,

all-square at 1-1 Our sports reporter

Simon Clark is at the ground. Simon, what do think are Cleethorpes

chances in this one? Well, this is uncharted territory

for Cleethorpes town. They started life as you say as a boy 's team

looking after the needs of youngsters in this area. Now they

are on the verge of reaching the FA Vase final, it could be one of the

true fairy tales of modern day football.

Cleethorpes have an advantage because since Christmas they've been

able to call upon the expertise of a Grimsby Town

Basically, I have gone in to help with the coaching,

set pieces and stuff on match days and stuff like that.

The lads have basically gone and done it themselves.

To be in a semifinal of a national competition,

We really do want to get promoted but to be where we are,

Cleethorpes Town began life 19 years ago as an under sevens side. They've

only had an adult section for eight years and there average crowd is

160. Nearly ten times that number will be at the semifinal here at

Bradley. All over the town people have come together to help with

semifinal preparation. Ladies boutique might not be the obvious

place to set up a ticket office, but it happened this week. We usually

know when they come through the door, the gentleman, they're looking

for targets. As soon as they come in have they come in for their tickets?

Cleethorpes hope to follow another team from this part of the world in

claiming the Vase. It is quite a story that has gotten this far and I

wonder if they can follow brick town. If they get the final in May,

it could be an incredible double-header because the Vies final

and the Trophy final played on same day and Lincoln city are in the

Trophy semifinal. They lost again to York city this week. They have their

second leg tomorrow as well and the Lincolnshire FA I'm sure rubbing

their hands at the prospect of a double-header in the Vase and Trophy

with Cleethorpes and Lincoln going for glory.

Lincoln City also have the chance of reaching Wembley tomorrow.

They play York City in the second leg of their FA Trophy semifinal.

personal achievement, marking his return to the stage just

six months after a serious motorbike accident, in which he nearly died.

His long career has seen Martin Barrass appear in some

And alongside serious acting roles, he's been a fixture

of the York Royal Theatre Pantomime for more than 30 years.

But last September he was involved in a crash on his motorbike,

near Skipton in North Yorkshire, that left him with serious injuries.

He spent days in intensive care and suffered two heart attacks.

But just three months later he was back on his feet.

I was shown a newspaper, I'd been in hospital for about a week

then and it said, panto star opens his eyes.

That is the most emotional thing I'd ever read.

And in February he referred returned to the stage in

for most of her life, I had young children and there was a

policeman crossing the road. He said does anyone want to be a crossing

patrol? Next morning they came and signed me up. My friend laughed

after five years and I said I'd stay longer and I'm still here.

And having done the job for 45 years,

she's made plenty of friends along the way.

The kids of course. I've had grandparents, parents, and the

children. I go through families. It's more like a family job.

Everybody knows everybody. It's nice. I shall really regret leaving,

but I think its time. I'm very sad cause I always, and I mean always,

Cross near her. She helps you cross the road. Why is that important?

Because you might get run over by an incoming car that can't see you. I

am sad because she was a really nice lollipop lady. She was or was very

kind. She talks to us and says how the weather is and things like that.

Margaret has a few shifts before she passes on her lollipop.

For for the families who've come to know and love her,

Lincolnshire could have to wait three weeks between bin collections

in a move aimed at Tomorrow's weather: A cloudy

and breezy day, mostly dry though there could be a little spots

of rain at times. On the subject of recycling and

frequency of bin collections in North East Lincolnshire, there has

been a big response. Greg is in Cleethorpes. The council are taking

more money off us at but giving us less facilities. They have a duty of

care to adhere to. Polly says, it's ridiculous, the council spend

amazing amounts of money on paving bricks but penny pinch on basic

services. John says, what a farce. Mike says, the suggestions that

collections can be extended ridiculous and to be honest a

disgrace. And finally, cut down on rubbish collections and you will end

up with people fly-tipping. They already do that, says Polly. Thank

you all for love those. And for watching. Have a really good,

peaceful weekend. I'll see you on Monday at half past six.
