:00:05. > :00:08.Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight:
:00:08. > :00:15.Town versus country. Claims that rural areas pay more tax but lose
:00:15. > :00:20.out to urban centres on vital services.
:00:20. > :00:25.An investigation is underway after a toddler drowns at a caravan park.
:00:25. > :00:30.Bed was bad for us that were standing by, so I cannot imagine
:00:30. > :00:33.what that family is going through. It is just so upsetting.
:00:33. > :00:37.The speed camera repair bill that runs into hundreds of thousands of
:00:37. > :00:43.pounds. Why this seaside town is one of the
:00:43. > :00:47.top tourist destinations in the country.
:00:47. > :00:53.And that taste of autumn in the next couple of days, the forecast
:00:53. > :00:56.coming up shortly. People living in rural areas in
:00:56. > :01:00.Yorkshire and Lincolnshire are getting a raw deal when it comes to
:01:00. > :01:03.Government spending. That's the finding of a new report claiming
:01:03. > :01:10.people in the countryside pay on average �100 more in council tax,
:01:10. > :01:14.but get 50% less money. The Rural Services Network is now calling on
:01:14. > :01:22.ministers to address the issue. Our communities correspondent Vicky
:01:22. > :01:27.Johnson has the story. But it might be green and it might
:01:27. > :01:31.be pleasant, but many people living in a rural areas feel they are
:01:31. > :01:36.paying way over the odds for the privilege. This woman has lived in
:01:36. > :01:42.East Yorkshire for the past 15 years. I think we already been off.
:01:42. > :01:46.We are certainly being more than a lot of people who live in and are
:01:46. > :01:50.then environment. He this is not just a perception. A new study
:01:50. > :01:55.reveals that if you live in the East Riding of Yorkshire or line
:01:55. > :02:03.future, the average amount of government money spent per head is
:02:03. > :02:07.around �300. But in Hull, that amount is doubled to �600. That is
:02:07. > :02:11.despite people in rural areas paying more in council tax than
:02:11. > :02:16.their Aardman counterparts. This woman works for a charity that
:02:17. > :02:21.supports rural communities. There is a perception that people that
:02:21. > :02:25.live in rural areas are more affluent. That is a method. The
:02:26. > :02:34.need support and the monies into them to keep them sustainable and
:02:34. > :02:40.viable. If regular bus services, two pubs and shops mean that people
:02:40. > :02:50.here still enjoy a country life. They worked together, rather than
:02:50. > :02:51.
:02:51. > :02:55.simply relying on their council. in a council house, it they would
:02:55. > :03:02.look and see why the Electric had gone off rather than wait for the
:03:02. > :03:06.council. Those living in the more remote villages with fewer
:03:06. > :03:09.amenities certainly feel more hard done by.
:03:09. > :03:13.Graham Stuart is the MP for a rural area Beverley and Holderness, and
:03:13. > :03:17.also chairs the Parliamentary Group on Rural Services. I put it to him
:03:17. > :03:25.that big cities and urban areas were bound to need more money than
:03:25. > :03:31.a country area. The truth this the cost of delivery in the rural areas
:03:31. > :03:36.is higher. There are more primary fires per head in a rural areas and
:03:36. > :03:41.there are in our been at is. They tend to be more serious. A road
:03:41. > :03:46.traffic accidents are another big business, if you like, for the Fire
:03:46. > :03:51.Service. But are they coming off that badly? Many people that live
:03:51. > :03:56.in a rural areas are affluent. Why should they not pay more?
:03:56. > :04:01.average income in a rural areas is are actually at war than that on
:04:01. > :04:09.the urban areas. They are paying higher council tax and then they
:04:09. > :04:13.receive substantially less just to support services. I planned to
:04:13. > :04:17.pressure this government until the move to make a fairer system.
:04:17. > :04:21.are no longer in opposition, you are in government now, so you can
:04:22. > :04:26.change it. And the Government has inherited this terrible financial
:04:26. > :04:30.mess. It is much more difficult to change the system when you have so
:04:30. > :04:35.little money. But we have to make the case and get changed because it
:04:35. > :04:39.is not fair that we should have this continuation, whether it is
:04:39. > :04:46.health care or the skills, that are all more expensive to run than the
:04:46. > :04:52.RN it relate -- are been areas and yet his soul much less money. I
:04:52. > :05:02.applied to pressure I've is this government. -- I plan to pressurise
:05:02. > :05:07.this Government. If you do it, then they are been at is will miss out
:05:07. > :05:13.on money and then a Labour MP will be on the complaining. Is there a
:05:13. > :05:17.fairer way? It should be based on need and be transparent. We have
:05:17. > :05:21.had Labour using the formula to push money into a been at is at the
:05:21. > :05:25.expense of a rural areas. I do not want a repeat of that the other way
:05:25. > :05:35.round. I want a transparent system that gives the full support to
:05:35. > :05:37.
:05:37. > :05:43.everybody, wherever they live. Thank you very much indeed. The
:05:43. > :05:53.later we know what do you think about this one. -- let me know what

:06:08. > :06:17.Just half the visitors of last year, but organisers say Hull's Freedom
:06:17. > :06:21.Festival is set to continue. An investigation is underway after
:06:21. > :06:28.a 19-month-old toddler drowned at a Lincolnshire caravan park. He
:06:28. > :06:30.disappeared while his parents were putting up a tent. The tragedy

:06:42. > :06:46.Throughout the day, flowers have been left at the campsite, close to
:06:46. > :06:51.the lake where the little boy's body was found. His family had just
:06:51. > :06:56.arrived and were pitching their tent when he disappeared. I feel
:06:56. > :07:04.for the family. It was bad for us that were standing by, so why do
:07:04. > :07:10.not know how they must have felt. She was very upset. She had just

:07:37. > :07:42.precautions in place here. Because of that, it is believed no further
:07:42. > :07:46.action will be taken. I have two children under the age of 10 myself
:07:46. > :07:50.and I go camping with them. He know that when you are putting something
:07:50. > :07:56.up, it is difficult to keep your attention on the children. That is
:07:56. > :08:00.why all my sympathies go to the this family, because I am in the
:08:00. > :08:06.same position. The events have been described as a tragic accident, a
:08:06. > :08:12.simple family all the that have ended -- that has ended in
:08:12. > :08:15.unimaginable circumstances. Some of the day's other news now.
:08:15. > :08:17.Police have named the pilot who died when his plane crashed near

:09:58. > :10:03.taking place. It is said that the damage done here could cost
:10:03. > :10:08.people's lives. The people that are attacking these cameras are not

:15:41. > :15:44.
:15:44. > :15:49.will be around 12 Celsius. The sun will rise in the morning at 6:19am.
:15:49. > :15:56.Watch out for the commute in the morning. There will be a lot of

:17:26. > :17:30.down well. There are less people on the streets but there is still a
:17:30. > :17:39.good buzz. Just because you have not heard of the talent does not

:18:56. > :19:01.It is very important that you get the balance. It is good to have
