A last chance message is being given to Lincolnshire entrepreneurs | :00:09. | :00:17. | |
to get hold of millions of pounds of European funding | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
There's no guarantee the grants for small rural businesses | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
A couple of months ago, Mike realised his dream. | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
he set up a micro-brewery on a farm in Fiskerton. | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
One of the reasons for applying for the funding was that we saw | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
an opportunity to build a bigger project that would allow us | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
to employ people within the local area and ensure that we grew | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
The grant came from what's called the leader scheme, | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
money from the European Union specifically designed to help | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Around ?6 million of leader funding is available across Lincolnshire. | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
People can apply for grants, typically around ?25,000, | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
for projects which will boost the rural economy, anything | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
from tourism, to local produce, to heritage. | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
The brewery may do so again if it wants to expand but the current | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
The Brexit vote has created some uncertainty over what happens next. | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
I don't know what arrangements will be made in the future for EU | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
funding but obviously funding like this does help businesses. | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
It certainly helped our business and we are spending that money wisely. | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
Without it we wouldn't be employing the people we intend to employ. | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
Who gets the EU money is decided at local level by local action | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
groups and they are also unsure about the future. | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
Obviously, things are going to change when Brexit happens | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
but we are optimistic the government is working | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
There will be domestic funds, we hope, | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
and we hope to be part of those so it's wait and see. | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
But their main message is encouraging people to apply | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
for the leader funding now while it's definitely there. | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
If anyone out there has got an idea, they want to know more, | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
We asked the government if it can guarantee it will replace EU | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
business grants for rural areas following Brexit. | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
It told us projects will be honoured in future if they are good value | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
for money and in line with government priorities. | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
Mike's beers are already being sold in Lincoln pubs. | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
He's hoping the grant scheme that has helped him and other businesses | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
Police have released the name of a man who died in a crash | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
David Lamming, who was 63 and from Goxhill, crashed his van | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
Police are investigating whether he became ill at the wheel. | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
A man who's spent 25 years trying to save a crumbling medieval tower | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
near Hull has been awarded more than ?100,000. | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
Simon Taylor will receive a grant of around ?160,000 | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
from Historic England to protect Paull Holme Tower, which is almost | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
This money that we've received is really significant. | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
It allows us to finally start repairing the brickwork | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
We are going to put a roof on it, the building inside will be dry | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
and hopefully when the open day comes along in September, | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
all the public can come along and see this magnificent building. | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
A sport for older people that was first played | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
in East Yorkshire is gaining popularity, | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
Walking netball clubs are being set up for people who no | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
longer want to take part in high-speed exercise. | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
Laura Foster reports from Anlaby, near Hull. | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
From the brightly coloured bibs to the squeak of the trainers | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
on the hall floor and the blow of the umpire's whistle, | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
this sport is very similar to the sport you know from school. | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
It makes it easier for people who have got some kind | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
It saves some people from isolation, the older people who haven't been | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
But the women who are part of this club say | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
The camaraderie is absolutely brilliant. | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
It's got me back into doing things really. | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
Going into a gym is quite intimidating sometimes | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
but we get new ladies here and they just | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
It's been a lifeline for people like Pat. | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
It's something to come out for and you make new friends. | :04:32. | :04:42. | |
Walking netball was actually started in East Yorkshire. | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
Since then it has been adopted by clubs across the country | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
and moreover it is proving so popular that even more | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
sessions are going to be held in East Yorkshire | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
There are already clubs like this in Goole, Withernsea, | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
Beverley and there's one in Boston, but come next year the hope | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
is that there'll also be sessions in Stamford, | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
Hull, Driffield, Cleethorpes and Grimsby. | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
Hopefully it is going to get up there with walking football. | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
We've only had women in our sessions so far. | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
Whether in the future we get any men, who knows, | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
but at the moment it's a lot of women. | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
The success of sports like this shows that just because you get | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
older doesn't mean you have to give up the things you love. | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
Now the weather forecast with Keeley Donovan. | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
It's cold and in places quite foggy out there at the moment. | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
I think it will become less dense overnight as it becomes cloudier | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
and breezier from the north, though we will have some stubborn | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
It's chilly out there and at some point in the night temperatures | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
will drop down to freezing, but it won't be as cold tomorrow. | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
Having said that, we don't have as much sunshine either. | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
We should have some breaks in the cloud. | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
Temperatures will be a bit higher than today, | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
about where they should be at this time of year, | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
As for New Year's Eve, a lot of cloud, it will be breezy, | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
but it won't be as chilly as it has been. | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
Rain overnight and then cooler to start the New Year. | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
Hello. Fold and frost has been a feature of the weather in recent | :06:22. | :06:48. | |
mornings in England and Wales, producing a | :06:49. | :06:49. |
