:00:12. > :00:16.annual air show, the clean-up begins at RAF Waddington.

:00:16. > :00:24.And after a warm weekend at the unsettled weather up -- is on his

:00:24. > :00:26.way back. Contractors in East Yorkshire have

:00:26. > :00:32.apologised for laying a new road surface, free of charge, outside

:00:32. > :00:35.the home of Beverley MP Graham Stuart. They'd resurfaced the drive

:00:35. > :00:42.using materials left over from public road repairs but the move

:00:42. > :00:47.left the MP being strongly criticised. Neighbours were also

:00:47. > :00:52.angry, claiming the new surface didn't fit in with the surroundings.

:00:52. > :01:02.Well, today the workmen returned to the scene to rip the tarmac up. Our

:01:02. > :01:06.reporter Phil Connell was there. This exclusive residential road and

:01:06. > :01:13.Beverley has been the biggest talking point for weeks. A private

:01:13. > :01:17.drive that has gone from this, to this, to this. The way for the

:01:17. > :01:21.local MP has been blamed for the controversial saga. Her request for

:01:21. > :01:26.free Tarmac to be laid has divided neighbours and caused a political

:01:26. > :01:32.storm. This is just one small residential road, why has it become

:01:32. > :01:36.a priority? There are many roads in this very area that deserve to have

:01:36. > :01:39.the resources used on them. controversy began when Mrs Stuart

:01:39. > :01:44.asked contractors working for the council to resurface the drive that

:01:44. > :01:48.also leads to their family home. The work men had been repairing

:01:48. > :01:53.potholes and Beverley, and use Tarmac which had been left over.

:01:53. > :01:57.The problem is the neighbours here were not consulted. Today, after

:01:57. > :02:03.several objections, the contractors are back to remove the tarmac which

:02:03. > :02:09.is laid just a few weeks before. the time, it seemed like a good

:02:09. > :02:14.will gesture done in good faith. you regret it now? It was in there

:02:14. > :02:18.and we apologise and you will do our best to put the right. This

:02:18. > :02:22.lane is a private road which provides access to 18 different

:02:22. > :02:28.homes. Today those using the lane where divided as to whether the

:02:28. > :02:31.Stuarts use of the tarmac was right or wrong. I liked it. I think once

:02:31. > :02:41.and settle down it would have been the same colour as the rest of the

:02:41. > :02:43.

:02:43. > :02:48.lane. It is a lot less bumpy. morning Mrs Stuart was attempting

:02:48. > :02:52.to build bridges with neighbours. Her husband Graham left home were

:02:52. > :02:56.refusing to comment. One friend and neighbour said the MP and his wife

:02:56. > :02:59.had been unfairly treated. I think it is totally unreasonable that

:02:59. > :03:09.they should be put through this ordeal, and the stress and pressure

:03:09. > :03:14.is phenomenal. The expected a few potholes and they got M25 done.

:03:15. > :03:17.MP will be hoping today brings closer to the story. The tale has

:03:18. > :03:21.more twists and turns than a lane itself.

:03:21. > :03:27.And Phil is in Mr Stuart's Beverley constituency for us now. Phil, what

:03:27. > :03:32.is the situation there tonight? After complaints from local Labour

:03:32. > :03:37.Party here in Beverley, we believe Graham Stuart has now declared this

:03:37. > :03:42.work as a parliamentary -- under parliamentary rules on private

:03:42. > :03:46.interests. He will not want to be accused of taking advantage of his

:03:46. > :03:51.parliamentary position. As regards the Lane itself, things there are a

:03:51. > :03:55.lot quieter. Workmen have finished lifting 50 yards of tarmac. Whether

:03:55. > :04:04.it will restore peace and harmony to this residential road, we will

:04:04. > :04:07.have to wait and see. We will meet Hull City's new

:04:07. > :04:09.players as they begin pre-season training.

:04:09. > :04:13.Health campaigners say they'll fight proposals to relax the

:04:13. > :04:17.smoking ban in pubs. The East Yorkshire MP Greg Knight is leading

:04:17. > :04:22.calls for a change in the law, which would allow pubs and clubs to

:04:22. > :04:25.create a designated smoking room for those who want to light up. He

:04:25. > :04:28.claims the ban is responsible for a record number of pub closures

:04:28. > :04:38.across the country, but opponents point to the economic downturn as

:04:38. > :04:39.

:04:39. > :04:45.the cause. More now from our Political Editor Tim Iredale.

:04:45. > :04:49.This is a typical scene outside any British pub nowadays: smokers

:04:49. > :04:53.banished to the great outdoors. Not too bad on a summer's evening, less

:04:53. > :05:00.appealing in the middle of winter. Most of the smokers here that this

:05:00. > :05:08.Hull pub say they would much rather be indoors. You pay for everything

:05:08. > :05:11.but you can smoke inside, you have to go outside. It is not fair at

:05:11. > :05:16.all when you're coming out socialising. We're going home now

:05:16. > :05:19.to have a drink and we can have a small there. I think we should all

:05:19. > :05:24.be allowed back in the pubs and they should have smoking rooms back

:05:24. > :05:30.in the pubs. It is not very sociable to leave people in the pub

:05:31. > :05:33.to have become its side. And number of MPs from all sides agree

:05:33. > :05:37.including East Yorkshire Tory Greg Knight. Since the introduction of

:05:37. > :05:43.the smoking ban, many smokers are now staying at home, and sauteed is

:05:43. > :05:47.falling. It's to try to save the village pub, the town pub, and in

:05:47. > :05:50.many cases these are a valuable asset to the community they serve.

:05:50. > :05:55.Figures reveal that since the smoking ban was introduced in

:05:55. > :05:58.England in 2007, more than 4000 pubs have closed. Health

:05:58. > :06:03.campaigners point to figures showing that in the first beer of

:06:03. > :06:07.the ban alone, the number of heart attacks fell by around 10%. I think

:06:07. > :06:10.we have moved on now anything people enjoyed it when they go to

:06:10. > :06:15.the pub, it is a smoke-free environment. I think it would be

:06:15. > :06:18.going back really, if we now started having smoking room she

:06:18. > :06:21.could go as Malkin. It is not the way to deal with it. We need to

:06:21. > :06:25.support the pub industry and support the issue of alcohol that

:06:25. > :06:31.is being sold so cheaply in supermarkets, those are the things

:06:31. > :06:34.we need to address. Four years on, opinion is still sharply divided as

:06:34. > :06:38.to whether pubs and clubs should remain totally smoke-free

:06:38. > :06:40.environments. Sean Rennison is a pub landlord in

:06:40. > :06:47.Hull, and also serves on the Licensed Victuallers' Association

:06:47. > :06:51.which represents the pub trade. Do you and many of you landlords

:06:51. > :06:56.welcome the suggestion of a return for smoking rooms? Yes, we do. It

:06:56. > :06:59.is what we wanted originally going back to 2006 when we were

:06:59. > :07:02.consulting on the smoking ban. would surely agree we don't want to

:07:02. > :07:07.go back to the old days of a pub smelling like small, which is what

:07:07. > :07:14.would happen? With today's technology, air extraction in the

:07:14. > :07:19.air conditioning... Who will pay for that, the brewery's? The pub

:07:19. > :07:26.landlords. Her 59 pubs a weaker closing. They are not closing

:07:27. > :07:32.because of the smoking ban, are the? I think you'll find the

:07:32. > :07:39.majority are closing as a part of the smoking ban. You can be sure of

:07:39. > :07:43.that? It is the principal factor in pub closures, take my word for that.

:07:43. > :07:48.We have an e-mail here saying that some -- lack of smoking rooms

:07:48. > :07:56.killing pubs is rubbish: it is a high cost of the drinks in them.

:07:56. > :08:00.That does not help, I have to say. Supermarkets selling alcohol often

:08:00. > :08:05.at below cost and passing the VAT element on ticket prices. You would

:08:05. > :08:07.be happy to see a pub again with people puffing away damaging

:08:07. > :08:14.themselves even talk health agencies say the number of heart

:08:14. > :08:19.attacks went down by 10%? Are you happy to see people smoking away in

:08:19. > :08:27.pubs? I would be delighted to see that in a control that was fair.

:08:27. > :08:31.What is a control that is here? Extraction and air-conditioning.

:08:31. > :08:38.Our reporter said that government could look at things like price

:08:38. > :08:43.controls in supermarkets. Minimum prices would be a big advantage.

:08:43. > :08:49.Perhaps the pubs have not got it right? The pubs have got it right.

:08:49. > :08:54.It is a tradition. People visiting winter visit English pubs.

:08:54. > :08:58.I'd like to throw this one open to you this evening. Do you support

:08:58. > :09:01.the idea of bringing "smoking rooms" back? If so, why? Or do you

:09:01. > :09:03.think the smoking ban has been a good thing? Perhaps you're a

:09:03. > :09:13.landlord or maybe a smoker yourself? I'd be interested to hear

:09:13. > :09:24.

:09:24. > :09:33.A play in Bridlington involving 300 school children has been cancelled

:09:33. > :09:38.after concerns about references by a gay character to his sexuality.

:09:38. > :09:41.The play was due to take place at the Bridlington Spa next weekend.

:09:41. > :09:44.It's part of an Opera North project. But the writer, who also wrote

:09:44. > :09:52.Billy Elliot, says the school pulled out after he refused to

:09:52. > :09:59.change part of the script. They've said that this character can be gay

:09:59. > :10:03.but not acknowledge that Tuesday. If you look at the rental people,

:10:03. > :10:07.some people will be a bit you don't know what. How well you know if he

:10:07. > :10:10.is getting does not convey it. are not being homophobic, they're

:10:10. > :10:15.not saying that homosexuality is a terrible thing. I think the

:10:15. > :10:18.opposite. There saying we need to teach it can handle it in a way

:10:18. > :10:21.that we think is appropriate. In other news today, four wallabies

:10:21. > :10:24.have been killed at Sewerby Hall, near Bridlington. Initial evidence

:10:24. > :10:26.suggests a fox is responsible for the attack. The zoo's fifth wallaby

:10:26. > :10:29.has now been re-homed, while staff check the perimeter fencing.

:10:29. > :10:33.A teacher in Lincoln has been suspended for two years for having

:10:33. > :10:35."inappropriate contact" with two students. Kirstie Notman was

:10:35. > :10:40.teaching at the Priory LSST school when she sent explicit text

:10:40. > :10:43.messages and a Valentine's card to a pupil. The General Teaching

:10:43. > :10:53.Council heard she later moved to another school but failed to tell

:10:53. > :10:54.

:10:54. > :10:56.them about the allegations. Marks & Spencer is planning to open

:10:56. > :11:06.a new store in Scunthorpe just months after pulling out of the

:11:06. > :11:08.

:11:08. > :11:11.town. The shop wants to move to a new development on Doncaster

:11:11. > :11:14.It has cost �21 million, and has taken two years to build.

:11:14. > :11:17.Today, the state of the art Pods leisure centre in Scunthorpe has

:11:17. > :11:21.opened its doors for the first time. Our reporter Jake Zuckerman has

:11:21. > :11:24.been to take a look. The Pods have landed. Like an alien

:11:24. > :11:27.visitor. Bringing the latest facilites to Scunthorpe. A gym with

:11:27. > :11:37.dozens of exercise machines, two studios, a six-court sports hall

:11:37. > :11:39.

:11:39. > :11:45.and a 25-metre pool. architecture of the building itself

:11:45. > :11:48.is so unique. It is what -- it is about what is inside two. It is the

:11:48. > :11:51.modern facilities we have and the high-tech equipment. It is about

:11:51. > :11:56.looking to the future in that is what is important about it. It

:11:56. > :11:59.shows we will not do it things second best year. We want the best

:11:59. > :12:02.and that is what do will deliver on. The gym opened today: an

:12:02. > :12:10.opportunity for local people to get their first glimpse of what's on

:12:10. > :12:15.offer. Fantastic, a lot more modern than the old place. New and

:12:15. > :12:16.different, modern. A it is very a market. The building cost more than

:12:16. > :12:19.�21 million and sports environmentally friendly features.

:12:19. > :12:22.Like grey-water recycling and a biomass boiler. But the project has

:12:22. > :12:26.not been without its difficulties. Two weeks ago an explosion in the

:12:26. > :12:29.pool's filter system injured three workers. As a result, the pool's

:12:29. > :12:39.opening has been delayed. Still, the council is adamant, any

:12:39. > :12:46.

:12:46. > :12:53.teething problems will soon be Still to come: A High Court hearing

:13:30. > :13:30.

:13:30. > :13:38.This will make you feel good about yourself. I saw Peter Levy sitting

:13:38. > :13:42.by himself in the docks the other day. How sad is that?

:13:42. > :13:47.You forecasters are in trouble. You forecasters are in trouble.

:13:47. > :13:54.We got it right this weekend. The headline for the next 24 hours

:13:54. > :13:59.is not up to bed at first. By the end of the day, rain will be

:13:59. > :14:09.pushing in from the West. The type of weather that dominated June will

:14:09. > :14:10.

:14:10. > :14:17.come across for the foreseeable future and into next week. In the

:14:17. > :14:23.short term, it is very pleasant out there. Enjoy this warm evening, it

:14:23. > :14:30.may be the last one for some time. There will be some hazy sunshine

:14:30. > :14:40.and variable amounts of cloud. Lowest temperatures down to 12

:14:40. > :14:43.

:14:43. > :14:47.Celsius. The sun will rise in the It looks very pleasant in the

:14:47. > :14:52.morning. Fine and bright and there would be some sunshine for most of

:14:53. > :14:56.us. As we head through the afternoon, cloud will thicken from

:14:56. > :15:02.the West. By the end of the afternoon, rain will be threatening

:15:02. > :15:12.but I don't know if it will get to the coast until tomorrow evening.

:15:12. > :15:13.

:15:13. > :15:19.For the most parts, it is looking fine. We have topped temperatures

:15:19. > :15:29.of 24 Celsius. There is the potential for some heavy rain

:15:29. > :15:36.

:15:36. > :15:40.See you tomorrow. It has been described as a landmark

:15:40. > :15:44.case. A Lincolnshire couple who claimed the noise from a wind farm

:15:44. > :15:49.has driven them from their home, have begun a hearing at the High

:15:49. > :15:52.Court today. Jane and Julian Davis live in Deeping St Nicholas and say

:15:52. > :16:01.the noise was so disturbing, they couldn't sleep at night. The case

:16:01. > :16:06.is likely to set a precedent for other claims across the country.

:16:06. > :16:12.Their house but they can't live here any more. The family say they

:16:12. > :16:17.were forced to move out for good four years ago by these. 1,000

:16:17. > :16:25.metres away, eight turbines omitting a noise that they say were

:16:25. > :16:31.so bad they are challenging it in the High Court. The drone was so

:16:31. > :16:35.unrelenting. Everyone is very tired and totally exhausted. Since

:16:35. > :16:39.recording her diary, they have moved into rented accommodation and

:16:39. > :16:43.when a tribunal ruling that they have reduced the value of their

:16:43. > :16:47.home. This morning they have come to the High Court in London up to

:16:47. > :16:50.resolve their noise problem once and for all. We have had to come

:16:50. > :16:55.because we have exhausted every other avenue of resolving the

:16:55. > :16:59.problem. If without the pressure placed on them by a court action,

:16:59. > :17:04.they have done little in terms of resolving the problem. We are

:17:04. > :17:09.hoping to achieve recognition that there is a noise nuisance from the

:17:09. > :17:13.wind farm and get that stopped. We hope to go home and carry on our

:17:13. > :17:17.life. For what do they have to achieve? They want the company is

:17:17. > :17:22.to remove three of the turbines, limit operating hours and pay

:17:22. > :17:25.damages like their rental costs. Tomorrow the court will go to the

:17:25. > :17:29.site as it tries to determine whether the nuisance noise claim is

:17:29. > :17:36.valid. The case is being seen as a landmark one for the entire

:17:36. > :17:44.industry. A lot of people will be following

:17:44. > :17:54.this one. Do you support them in their fight at the High Court? What

:17:54. > :17:54.

:17:54. > :17:58.is your experience of wind Thank you for the messages on our

:17:58. > :18:02.story about agricultural employees in Lincolnshire. They claimed they
