People living in a Lincolnshire village say the only way

:00:09.:00:12.

to save their pub is to buy it themselves.

:00:13.:00:15.

The Sebastapol Inn in Minting closed last August, but it is now hoped

:00:16.:00:19.

the community can raise more than ?250,000 to buy it.

:00:20.:00:24.

The Campaign for Real Ale says there are now around 70 pubs

:00:25.:00:27.

across the UK that are owned and run by their local community.

:00:28.:00:31.

For six months, this pub in Minting near Horncastle has been closed.

:00:32.:00:38.

But now, locals are being encouraged to buy shares, with the aim

:00:39.:00:42.

of raising enough money for the community to buy it.

:00:43.:00:46.

To have it closed, with a sign across, with a red sign

:00:47.:00:49.

You know, it's a village, and there are surrounding villages,

:00:50.:00:53.

that really don't have, you know, a lot of services,

:00:54.:00:57.

and we think it's really important to maintain this service.

:00:58.:01:00.

Because I want the pub to stay open in this village, I want a centre

:01:01.:01:07.

I think the village feel it needs to be a village pub again.

:01:08.:01:13.

You know, the hub of the village, maybe a shop, something like that,

:01:14.:01:16.

you know, that's what we're looking forward to it being.

:01:17.:01:20.

But Minting isn't the only community to want to run its local.

:01:21.:01:24.

This pub in Hainton on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds was taken

:01:25.:01:27.

over by a community group five years ago, to save it from closure.

:01:28.:01:34.

The Campaign for Real Ale says around 21 pubs a week

:01:35.:01:37.

The Chairman of the community group here told me he is glad

:01:38.:01:43.

they have managed to save this one.

:01:44.:01:46.

Our primary aim was to keep the place open for community events.

:01:47.:01:50.

And we've done so well that we, you know, we can do that,

:01:51.:01:57.

and hopefully we can keep it going for a lot more years.

:01:58.:02:01.

Back in Minting, the current owners of the Sebastapol Inn told me

:02:02.:02:04.

they would be delighted if the community could buy it.

:02:05.:02:08.

There are now around 70 pubs across the UK that are owned and run

:02:09.:02:11.

by the local community, and some here are hoping

:02:12.:02:15.

An investigation is under way into the cause of a large fire

:02:23.:02:25.

It broke out at an abattoir on Heath Road last night.

:02:26.:02:32.

People living close to the site were told to keep their windows

:02:33.:02:37.

and doors shut because of burning plastic and possible

:02:38.:02:39.

A family from Grimsby have found the fourth of five gold statues

:02:40.:02:43.

The figures are worth thousands of pounds and have been

:02:44.:02:55.

The fourth piece, the Train, was found in Central Park

:02:56.:02:58.

in Scunthorpe, close to the swimming pool.

:02:59.:03:00.

There is now only the Ammonite to find.

:03:01.:03:02.

A piece of music specially commissioned for

:03:03.:03:03.

the Hull Philharmonic Orchestra will be premiered tonight.

:03:04.:03:08.

Six Thousand Pipes was written by Sir Karl Jenkins,

:03:09.:03:11.

whose pieces are performed across the world.

:03:12.:03:14.

The composition celebrates the locally made organ

:03:15.:03:16.

at Hull's City Hall and took inspiration from the city's history.

:03:17.:03:22.

Well, it was a fantastic opportunity, yes.

:03:23.:03:25.

I mean, the City of Culture is an amazing thing.

:03:26.:03:27.

And to be part of it was wonderful, that I was asked to write

:03:28.:03:31.

an organ piece for Jonathan Scott, for this organ.

:03:32.:03:35.

Hull City's hopes of climbing out of the relegation zone

:03:36.:03:44.

The Tigers drew 1-1 at home to Burnley.

:03:45.:03:49.

The result leaves them next to bottom in the table.

:03:50.:03:53.

Scunthorpe United have edged closer to the top spot

:03:54.:03:55.

The Iron drew 1-1 against Bristol Rovers.

:03:56.:03:59.

Grimsby Town dropped three points from their trip to Morecambe today,

:04:00.:04:02.

the first of two matches manager Marcus Bignott says could

:04:03.:04:05.

In the Conference, North Ferriby United remain

:04:06.:04:13.

bottom of the table, in spite of a 2-1 win at Guiseley.

:04:14.:04:19.

While Lincoln City won 2-0 against Boreham in the FA Trophy.

:04:20.:04:27.

Let's take a look at the weather - here's Abbie with the forecast.

:04:28.:04:30.

Just a couple of showers, really, spreading into the far north

:04:31.:04:34.

Something a little more persistent as we head

:04:35.:04:37.

through to the early hours, but then easing, so we should

:04:38.:04:40.

Quite cloudy overnight though, with those temperatures

:04:41.:04:43.

not dropping too low, to about five or six Celsius.

:04:44.:04:45.

And a better start to the day tomorrow, dry and bright for most

:04:46.:04:49.

with some sunny spells during the morning.

:04:50.:04:50.

But then, we will see a band of rain arriving through the afternoon.

:04:51.:04:53.

The winds will pick up once this rain arrives.

:04:54.:04:56.

It will be quite heavy and persistent

:04:57.:04:57.

Hope you can join us then, goodbye for now.

:04:58.:05:12.

Good evening. Starting with a quick look at the satellite sequence from

:05:13.:05:21.

earlier. We started under a big blanket of cloud but Scotland and

:05:22.:05:24.

Northern Ireland brightened up as the day went off. Underneath the

:05:25.:05:28.

cloud in England and Wales, quite a bit of rain at the moment, drifting

:05:29.:05:34.

southwards and East. It will continue to do so. In the small

:05:35.:05:38.

hours the rain will become patchy, and most will give way to the

:05:39.:05:42.

continent. There will be some breaks, particularly to the East of

:05:43.:05:46.

Scotland, where there could be a touch of frost. Next batch of rain

:05:47.:05:51.

into the western side of Scotland first thing, moving east with a

:05:52.:05:56.

little snow over higher ground. Another pulse of rain

:05:57.:05:57.
