?500,000 worth of drugs has been found at an East Yorkshire | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
The Ministry of Justice says the contraband was found at HMP | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
Humber following intelligence-led searches since October. | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
One charity has told us that drugs are being thrown over prison walls | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
HMP Humber in Everthorpe aims to rehabilitate inmates | :00:25. | :00:33. | |
but the prison has had long-standing issues with drugs and now Look North | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
has learned that ?500,000 of illegal substances were seized | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
there in the last three months alone. | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
It's a problem not unique to this prison. | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
Campaigners say there are many factors. | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
Corruption amongst a small number of staff is something we can't rule | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
We have seen drones being flown into prisons more and more, | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
and we are seeing increasingly large confiscations. | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
But many more packages, I'm sure, are flying under the radar. | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
In July 2015 concerns were raised about the quantity of drugs | :01:06. | :01:13. | |
in HMP Humber in a report by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons. | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
In a survey as part of that report, 49% of prisoners said it was easy | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
or very easy to get illegal drugs, and 15% said they'd developed a drug | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
On the back of that report, the prison created an action plan | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
to tackle the problem, including increasing cell | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
searches and improving substance misuse services. | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
In a statement, the Ministry of Justice said: The prison service | :01:37. | :01:59. | |
has faced a series of challenges recently, with disturbances | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
in the last 24 hours in Swaleside prison in Kent, | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
Birmingham earlier this month, and last weekend there | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
were disturbances at Hull Prison after 15 inmates were transferred | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
I think what prisoners think is that it's a soft touch nowadays. | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
They can get drugs into the prison estate because there's few officers, | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
and the officers that are there are very | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
So I think people have taken advantage of that. | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
The Prison Officers' Association told us today that one of HMP | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
Humber's challenges is its large perimeter, with a shortage | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
It's thought in some cases, drugs are being thrown in. | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
But the Government says it is committed to tackling this problem. | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
Administrators have been appointed to act for a Lincolnshire food | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
processing company which closed yesterday. | :02:49. | :02:49. | |
75 workers at Fishgate in Brookenby are waiting to find out | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
They discovered the company had closed from a note on the door. | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
West Lindsey District Council says it will do all it can to help them. | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
I'm disappointed, I'm sad for those families. | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
And, as a council, we will do our best to give advice | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
We do have a whole team of people at the Guildhall who are trained | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
for giving advice on benefits, on housing, anything | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
Councils in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire are to share close | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
to ?9 million to help build more affordable homes. | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
The Government money is being given to areas which have high levels | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
of second home ownership, which it says is reducing housing | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
The first images of what Grimsby Town's new stadium could look | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
Extreme Leisure is leading the project to build a fourteen | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
thousand seater stadium on the town's Peaks Parkway. | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
A new ice rink, restaurants, shops and housing are | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
The plans will go before the council's cabinet next month. | :04:00. | :04:07. | |
Six months after the Lincolnshire town of Boston voted by the largest | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
margin in the country to leave the European Union - | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
many people there say they don't regret the way they voted. | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
Back in June, three quarters of people in Boston backed Brexit. | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
Our political editor, Tim Iredale, reports from the town. | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
Few were surprised when Boston voted heavily in favour | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
With its large migrant population - the town has been at the centre | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
of the debate about the pros and cons of immigration. | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
More than 75% of registered voters here chose to leave | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
Less than a quarter wanted to remain. | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
It was highest leave vote recorded anywhere | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
Auditor Christopher Lewis was one of the many who voted to leave. | :04:51. | :05:00. | |
we've just got to the foreign nationals and it's just taking too | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
much pressure on local towns. Teacher Sophie Noone | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
was one of the minority I thought it was the safer option, | :05:08. | :05:18. | |
staying, for the country. Financially, and this stable option. | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
Local Government Officer Alex Wilson voted to leave. | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
It's a matter of people not from the EU getting in. | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
Meanwhile, Students Aisha and Clare voted to remain. | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
I don't think that there are enough people to do the jobs that Britain | :05:33. | :05:40. | |
requires. I wanted to be part of the EU. | :05:41. | :05:41. | |
But six months on - how do people view that | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
Or are they happy with the way they voted? | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
No regrets at all. I'm thinking of the children when they grow up. The | :05:50. | :05:57. | |
town is overcrowded, which is a shame. I think it was just the safer | :05:58. | :06:05. | |
option, still, to stay in the EU. I've no regrets. I'm not criticising | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
the people that I hear it's the ones who shouldn't be here, is legally, | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
from other countries within the world. I don't regret. I wish more | :06:15. | :06:24. | |
people had voted remain. A lot of people say they wish they had. So, | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
few regrets in the town voted Britain's Brexit capital. | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
And now for the all-important Christmas forecast. | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
The windy weather looks set to continue across | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
the Christmas weekend and then things will quieten down next week. | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
It's windy out there tonight - a few showers blowing through but | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
generally a dry night and a chilly one too, | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
with temperatures really dropping back to around 3 or 4 degrees. | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
Some decent sunny spells tomorrow, but that wind will be | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
gusty through the day, and we'll see a few showers too, | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
You're more likely to get them the further north you are. | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
But, on balance, a lot of dry weather and some sunshine, | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
But cooler than today, with temperatures getting up to around | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
Christmas Day itself looks very mild indeed. | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
Quite cloudy, and then, later in the day, a spell of heavy | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
That's it from the late team on Friday evening. We'll be back | :07:16. | :07:29. | |
tomorrow evening. Goodbye. big day? Christmas Day. It will stay | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
mild and temperatures could reach 14, 15. He is down bet that the | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
national picture. It will be more northern parts of | :07:37. | :07:46. | |
the UK that see the worst of the weather. Another storm is developing | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
in the Atlantic. This will turn | :07:54. | :07:54. |
