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 | :04:55. | :04:55. | |
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 | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
to leave the European Union. Fancy dress supplier, Smithhes, | :05:05. | :05:18. | |
has been a fixture in Gainsborough Our Business Correspondent | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
Sarah Corker reports. Hallowe'en is the busiest | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
time of year for this From fright night to brightly | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
coloured hairdos, for more than a century Smithies has been | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
selling fancy dress outfits The company director told md | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
the vote to leave the EU me`ns he has decided to set-up | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
new headquarters in the Netherlands. Does that mean the operation | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
here will be downsized? The vast majority of our st`ff | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
will still continue There will be some functions | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
that move to Europe. That's a much smaller price to pay | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
than the alternative which if our Government failed | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
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 | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
that access to the single m`rket, there would be huge job | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
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, | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
Brexit is already having a positive Up until June we were level at best | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
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 | :07:28. | :07:45. | |
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 | :12:04. | :12:04. |
