Good evening. Welome to the late Look North.

:00:00.:00:00.

Councillors under attack for rejecting a mayor

:00:00.:00:11.

for Greater Lincolnshire and the millions in funding

:00:12.:00:13.

An international hunt for a new Chief Constable,

:00:14.:00:16.

And Yorkshire's newest shopping centre opens to thousands

:00:17.:00:21.

Hello there and I'll be joining Peter in a short while for xour

:00:22.:00:32.

forecast for the next 24 hotrs and also into the weekend.

:00:33.:00:45.

Councillors will have to explain to the people of Lincolnshire why

:00:46.:01:00.

they voted down a deal todax that could have given them ?0.5

:01:01.:01:04.

That's according to Andrew Percy, the goverment's Northern

:01:05.:01:07.

Powerhouse Minister, after Lincolnshire County Council

:01:08.:01:08.

rejected the idea of an elected mayor for the greater Lincolnshire

:01:09.:01:11.

More from our Political Editor Tim Iredale.

:01:12.:01:18.

It's worth ?450 million over

:01:19.:01:20.

extra money for things like housing, transport, training, and flood

:01:21.:01:24.

But could the county's devolution dream be over?

:01:25.:01:29.

The biggest problem was the issue of the directly elected mayor and,

:01:30.:01:33.

of course, the consultation results weren't in favour of the directly

:01:34.:01:35.

elected mayor so I think the majority of the councillors came

:01:36.:01:38.

But tonight, Government Minhster and North Lincolnshire MP

:01:39.:01:44.

Andrew Percy, hit back at the decision taken

:01:45.:01:46.

Well, if councillors choose to walk away for ?0.5 billion of extra

:01:47.:01:52.

funding for Lincolnshire and significant powers and lore

:01:53.:01:53.

money and more powers to cole then that's a decision they'll h`ve

:01:54.:01:56.

But I just have to correct Lartin - the consultation which was tnder

:01:57.:02:09.

taken said clearly people across Greater Lincolnshire

:02:10.:02:13.

The Greater Lincolnshire de`l would bring together north

:02:14.:02:15.

and north-east Lincolnshire and the Lincolnshire County Council

:02:16.:02:17.

area, but it is the idea of a directly elected mayor running

:02:18.:02:20.

a new combined authority that's the problem.

:02:21.:02:22.

So do voters in Lincoln want an elected mayor?

:02:23.:02:24.

I don't think we should because it is paying somebody else.

:02:25.:02:27.

Even though we're going to get some money back and we're still paying

:02:28.:02:30.

I don't think they need extra money to pay out another mayor.

:02:31.:02:35.

I think we're all right the way we are.

:02:36.:02:38.

If it is an elected person then I suppose it is a good thing

:02:39.:02:41.

because the people have chosen that person based on their values

:02:42.:02:44.

and what they plan to do with the county.

:02:45.:02:46.

Senior Lincolnshire councillors will go back to the Governmdnt

:02:47.:02:49.

to ask for more powers without the need for an elected

:02:50.:02:52.

mayor, but the Prime Ministdr, Theresa May, has already indicated

:02:53.:02:54.

It's the ?133,000 a year job advertised around the world -

:02:55.:03:05.

that only two people applied for and were unsuccessful ldaving

:03:06.:03:08.

question of who will become the new Chief Constable

:03:09.:03:10.

of Lincolnshire Police when the current one

:03:11.:03:12.

The force is now going to re-advertise, with

:03:13.:03:15.

the Police Commissioner, wondering if the salary

:03:16.:03:17.

Crispin Rolfe is following the story.

:03:18.:03:29.

Do we know why there are so few candidates?

:03:30.:03:35.

Well, according to Marc Jonds the Lincolnshire Police and crile

:03:36.:03:41.

commissioner, there are onlx 22 people who are eligible or pualify

:03:42.:03:44.

for the level of role and m`ny of them, of course, are in jobs

:03:45.:03:48.

elsewhere and they may not want to move to Lincolnshire. What light be

:03:49.:03:54.

putting them off are comments from the outgoing chief of policd. Neil

:03:55.:03:58.

Rhodes said with cuts to funding, Lincolnshire's largely rural police

:03:59.:04:02.

force would be unviable by 2018 and might have to merge with a

:04:03.:04:07.

neighbouring force. Hardly `n enticing prose pect despite the six

:04:08.:04:09.

figure salary. Well, you're looking at ?133,00

:04:10.:04:11.

a year which doesn't sound an insignificant amount of loney,

:04:12.:04:13.

but when you think he could be a Deputy Chief Constable for not

:04:14.:04:16.

much less, why would you take That's the crime commissiondr. So

:04:17.:04:28.

what happens now then? Well, Peter, the job has been advertised

:04:29.:04:31.

overseas, but the argument hs that people internationally might command

:04:32.:04:36.

a salary three or four times that which is on offer. The Home Office

:04:37.:04:40.

has said that it is never h`d to step in in these circumstances and

:04:41.:04:45.

says that it doesn't expect to do so now, nonetheless, we'll havd to wait

:04:46.:04:50.

until 24th October when the post is readvertising to see how thhs ends

:04:51.:04:54.

up. Thank you very much indded. The role of Chief Constable, we will

follow that story. A company that employs 150 people

:04:56.:04:59.

in Lincolnshire says it's planning to move its headquarters

:05:00.:05:02.

to the Netherlands because of uncertainty caused by the vote

than the alternative which if our Government failed

to get access to the single market which as it stands they are putting

:05:51.:05:53.

immigration controls ahead of access If we did nothing, and we dhdn't get

that access to the single m`rket, there would be huge job

cuts in this country. In Gainsborough today,

:06:03.:06:10.

the town's mayor says other businesses are struggling

:06:11.:06:12.

with Brexit uncertainty. We have a lot of businesses

:06:13.:06:21.

on the industrial estate th`t deal a lot with Europe and every one

:06:22.:06:25.

of those will be looking at Plan B if Brexit doesn't turn out to be

:06:26.:06:28.

a positive effect. The weak value of the pound has

:06:29.:06:31.

pushed up prices for importdrs. Fruit and veg from abroad

:06:32.:06:34.

could get more expensive, but for exporters, their products

:06:35.:06:36.

are becoming more competitive. And the Gainsborough MP

:06:37.:06:38.

Sir Edward Lee, long time Eurosceptic, says it is too early

:06:39.:06:40.

for businesses to be I think it is probably prem`ture

:06:41.:06:43.

to speculate on what might happen in two-and-a-half years timd,

:06:44.:06:52.

but I am confident given thd massive balance of trade surplus

:06:53.:06:55.

with us that we will 40 miles east in Grimsby,

Brexit is already having a positive Up until June we were level at best

against our budget and now Prices have dropped by 15%

:07:05.:07:14.

to 20% for our customers so they are extending ranges

:07:15.:07:17.

and buying more products from us. So four months since the vote,

:07:18.:07:22.

it is still dividing opinion This business says a future outside

:07:23.:07:27.

of the EU is a scary prospect. More than 8,000 people visited

Yorkshire's newest shopping Victoria Gate in Leeds has cost

:07:46.:07:47.

?165 million to build and is the only development

:07:48.:07:51.

of its kind to open Few shopping centres have bden

:07:52.:07:53.

as anticipated as this one and ecoshoppers had to sit

:07:54.:08:06.

through an elaborate opening ceremony before they were fhnally

:08:07.:08:08.

allowed through the doors Economically this is big news

:08:09.:08:10.

for the city. It pushes Leeds up the retahl

:08:11.:08:21.

rankings to number three behind only And it is the only major

:08:22.:08:24.

scheme to open anywhere So Victoria Gate has been opened

:08:25.:08:28.

for just over 20 minutes now and still there is a tide of people

:08:29.:08:35.

flooding in through the doors, anxious to get their first sight

:08:36.:08:38.

of Leeds' new shopping arcade. It's like it is transporting

:08:39.:08:45.

you back to a different timd almost It used to be a car park and seeing

:08:46.:08:48.

this, it is amazing. The difference between this side

:08:49.:08:57.

and the other side because H tend to go to the market

:08:58.:09:01.

and the difference between that and this just shows the difference

:09:02.:09:04.

between the quality of life Building work persisted right up

:09:05.:09:07.

to the last hour bringing dhsruption The question is, what will

:09:08.:09:13.

the impact be going forward? I think what it does do is bring

:09:14.:09:17.

people back into this rather This was a redundant car park

:09:18.:09:21.

and a police station. What we've turned it into is a place

:09:22.:09:29.

which all the people of Leeds will be proud of,

:09:30.:09:32.

working with the markets, we will bring more people into this

:09:33.:09:36.

part of Leeds so I see this Certainly the long awaited `rrival

:09:37.:09:39.

of John Lewis pulled Hello there. Now, we will continue

:09:40.:10:02.

to see showers filing in from the North Sea over the next few days,

:10:03.:10:06.

but they will be fleeting and we should see some brighter we`ther as

:10:07.:10:09.

well. The winds will remain light. That's how we see this evenhng.

:10:10.:10:13.

Again, the showers continuing, easing through the early hotrs of

:10:14.:10:16.

the morning and temperatures dipping down with starry skies to shx or

:10:17.:10:20.

seven Celsius. That does me`n a chilly start to Friday mornhng.

:10:21.:10:24.

First thing on Friday, it could be bright, hazy sunshine around, again

:10:25.:10:30.

we are likely to see the showers ainitial Will and the cloud will

:10:31.:10:35.

build. One or two showers coming in and temperatures around ten, 11 or

:10:36.:10:39.

12 Celsius. And the outlook for the next few days, more of the same

:10:40.:10:43.

some sunshine and just a light breeze. I will see you later.

:10:44.:10:45.

Bye-bye. That's it from us tonight. Thank you

:10:46.:10:50.

for watching. We're back in the morning on BBC One at 6.30al. I m

:10:51.:10:58.

back tomorrow night at 6.30pm. Good night.

:10:59.:11:00.

The outlook, mostly dry for the next few days. Now the national outlook.

:11:01.:11:09.

Good evening. We are likely to the all colours of the autumn, tomorrow,

:11:10.:11:19.

fog could be an issue. Today, West has been best. Beautiful sunny

:11:20.:11:22.

spells breaking through the cloud in western areas but running down

:11:23.:11:26.

through North Sea coasts again, a frequent rash of showers. Some

:11:27.:11:29.

coming further inland but look at this picture, a typical story of the

:11:30.:11:33.

Norfolk coast this afternoon, choppy seas and rather threatening looking

:11:34.:11:38.

skies. It stays breezy through the night here and showers die back

:11:39.:11:41.

towards the Norfolk and Suffolk coast. Elsewhere, clear skies. We

:11:42.:11:46.

could see a touch of frost and some sub -- stubborn fog patches in the

:11:47.:11:50.

morning. In rural parts, temperatures could dip close to

:11:51.:11:53.

freezing. It could be the fog that could be an issue first thing, it's

:11:54.:11:57.

worth bearing in mind if you are on the roads early on. Particularly

:11:58.:12:03.

favoured spots looked likely to be central and western areas. This time
