:00:09. > :00:15.The headlines tonight - having to choose between heating and eating.

:00:15. > :00:19.Fuel poverty takes its toll on elderly residents. Not just the

:00:19. > :00:25.amount that the Bill is, but it means that we've got to cut back on

:00:25. > :00:31.our food bills. A late night shopping is dubbed a failure by

:00:31. > :00:38.traders who say it's putting them out of pocket. After nearly 120

:00:38. > :00:42.years, the first weekly edition of the Lincolnshire Echo goes on sale.

:00:42. > :00:47.And the game that has been entertaining crowds for decades

:00:47. > :00:57.celebrate its birthday. And milder conditions on the way in the next

:00:57. > :01:01.

:01:02. > :01:05.A Lincolnshire couple have told Look North that the rising cost of

:01:05. > :01:09.fuel means that they are having to choose between eating or heating

:01:09. > :01:15.their home. It comes as a new report suggests that almost 3000

:01:15. > :01:19.people will die this winter because -- as a direct result of fuel

:01:19. > :01:23.poverty. A household is said to be in fuel poverty when they have to

:01:23. > :01:26.spend more than 10 % of their income on keeping warm. It is

:01:26. > :01:30.estimated that 18 % of households across the country are in this

:01:30. > :01:38.situation. But in parts of Lincolnshire, it is almost double

:01:39. > :01:45.that at 35 %. Rising fuel bills mean that 4 million households in

:01:45. > :01:50.England now face fuel poverty. The highest number since 1996. 68-year-

:01:50. > :01:56.old Isabelle Vint, from Ruskington, has a tough choice to make. Heating

:01:57. > :02:01.or eating. We are having to cut back on everything. Not just the

:02:01. > :02:06.amount that the fuel bill Innes, but it means we've got to cut back

:02:06. > :02:10.on our food bills. Now we've counted the pennies. More than half

:02:10. > :02:15.of all households in fuel poverty contain someone over the age of 60.

:02:15. > :02:18.Rising prices mean more are experiencing problems. The latest

:02:19. > :02:26.figures show gas and electricity bills rose by 18.3 % over the last

:02:26. > :02:31.year. Whilst food prices rose by 6% and transport costs by 12.8 %.

:02:31. > :02:35.is an absolutely vital issue. week, the government held a summit

:02:35. > :02:40.with the big energy providers to talk about what can be done. Their

:02:40. > :02:43.message - switch suppliers and save money. He at Age UK's Activity

:02:43. > :02:48.Centre in Lincoln, they are learning the computer skills they

:02:48. > :02:50.need to shop around for the best energy deal. There were several

:02:51. > :02:54.comparison sites you can go on on the internet to find out what

:02:54. > :02:59.prices you can get. But few here believe there's much cash to be

:02:59. > :03:02.saved. They put a price up once you've changed, it's a waste of

:03:02. > :03:07.time. And next year they will put the prices up. You end up paying

:03:07. > :03:11.the same any weight. Barry Earnshaw, from Age UK in Lincoln, says the

:03:11. > :03:15.government needs to do more. What the government should do is

:03:15. > :03:21.actually reinstate the winter fuel allowance, which they have reduced.

:03:21. > :03:25.Secondly, which is more radical, is to start to target the winter fuel

:03:25. > :03:30.allowance, increase it and targeted on those pensioners who are the

:03:30. > :03:34.poorest in society. Last winter, East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire

:03:34. > :03:39.experienced particularly harsh conditions. This winter, estimates

:03:39. > :03:47.suggest that 2700 people across England and Wales will die as a

:03:48. > :03:52.A group which advises the government on fuel poverty has

:03:52. > :03:56.tonight said that ministers aren't doing enough to address the problem.

:03:56. > :03:59.I asked Derek Lickorish, from the Fuel Poverty Advisory Group, to

:03:59. > :04:05.give his reaction to the recent report which says that thousands of

:04:05. > :04:09.people will die this year if action isn't taken. I think it's a very

:04:09. > :04:13.thorough and intellectually rigorous report which should set

:04:13. > :04:17.alarm bells ringing loudly. Alarm bells ringing loudly for the

:04:18. > :04:23.government? For the government, for suppliers, for the regulator and

:04:23. > :04:27.for society as a whole. This report suggests that around 2700 people

:04:27. > :04:31.will die this winter because of fuel poverty. What is the

:04:31. > :04:35.government doing, because those figures are terrible? I think the

:04:35. > :04:38.government should be doing a lot more. The first thing I want the

:04:38. > :04:41.government to do is press the suppliers to pay the warm home

:04:41. > :04:46.discount to the broader group. That will be customers who are in

:04:46. > :04:50.receipt of winter payments. So the government aren't doing enough at

:04:50. > :04:55.the moment? Not at the moment. Whilst in 2013 we will have the

:04:55. > :04:58.green deal, it is getting to where we are today to 2013. That is the

:04:58. > :05:03.challenge. That needs more government effort. In Lincolnshire,

:05:03. > :05:07.one in every three households is living in fuel poverty. What do you

:05:07. > :05:11.make of that? It shows the Brett and depth of the problem across the

:05:11. > :05:15.country are. In Lincoln, it is one of the most severely affected

:05:15. > :05:22.places in the UK. But this is not really acceptable in this day and

:05:22. > :05:26.age. People dying. These sorts of projected figures for this winter.

:05:26. > :05:28.A It is not acceptable, and that's why I would like to see quite a bit

:05:28. > :05:32.done. I would like to see the regulator be revisiting the

:05:32. > :05:38.possibility of a regulated tariff for customers who don't access the

:05:38. > :05:42.market. For many customers, they are over 50 % of them pensioners.

:05:42. > :05:46.They are not going to get on the internet and get the best deal.

:05:46. > :05:49.They don't necessarily like direct debits. We have to find a way to

:05:49. > :05:54.make sure those customers get the best deal, because many of the fuel

:05:54. > :05:59.poor will not be on the best deal. The target of eradicating poverty

:05:59. > :06:04.for fuel poverty is set at 2016. Is that possible? It's a very faint

:06:04. > :06:08.hope. We should identify those we are going to deal with by then and

:06:08. > :06:12.get on with it as a matter of urgency. A very emotive issue at

:06:12. > :06:15.the moment. I'd like to know what you think of this one. What should

:06:15. > :06:20.the government be doing to help tackle fuel poverty, or should the

:06:20. > :06:23.energy companies be taking more responsibility? Also, what changes

:06:23. > :06:33.would you be making this winter? What do you think about those

:06:33. > :06:42.

:06:42. > :06:45.figures, the projected lives being In a moment... She wrote about

:06:45. > :06:52.Butlins 25 years ago, now this woman is using her memories to

:06:52. > :06:54.A man from Grimsby who was allegedly filmed mistreating his

:06:54. > :06:57.dog has appeared before magistrates. 36-year-old Jonathan Bloomfield is

:06:57. > :07:02.accused of not taking reasonable care of a Staffordshire bull

:07:02. > :07:05.terrier, and causing unnecessary suffering to the animal. The case

:07:05. > :07:12.was adjourned until the November 10th and Mr Bloomfield was released

:07:12. > :07:15.on bail. A teenager has been given a life sentence for the murder of a

:07:15. > :07:18.67-year-old Lincolnshire man. 18- year-old Aiden Jackson will serve a

:07:18. > :07:27.minimum of 12 years in jail after killing David Cowley near Sleaford

:07:27. > :07:34.last year. Police say the case has affected both families. It's been

:07:34. > :07:38.very difficult for the victim's family. They have lost a loved one.

:07:38. > :07:42.In Malaysia to the offender, a lot of his very close family members,

:07:42. > :07:46.his mother, sisters, have had to come to court and give evidence

:07:46. > :07:51.knowing that the evidence could well bring about conviction for

:07:51. > :07:55.murder. High-street traders in Lincoln had hoped that it would

:07:55. > :07:58.attract thousands more shoppers to the city. But four months after

:07:58. > :08:01.being launched, many say that Thursdays late-night shopping has

:08:01. > :08:09.flopped. More than a third of the city's businesses have now pulled

:08:09. > :08:13.out, with many blaming a lack of shoppers. Closing the door on

:08:13. > :08:18.Lincolns late night shopping. 15 weeks since it was launched, many

:08:18. > :08:22.say Thursday night shopping has brought little financial gain, with

:08:22. > :08:27.extra wage bills even leaving some shops out of pocket. We didn't get

:08:27. > :08:33.a very good football. Not many people were interested after 6pm.

:08:33. > :08:38.We do get people coming in ban on a 5:30pm, we serve them, but after

:08:38. > :08:43.6pm we had nobody. The city's late night shopping was launched in July

:08:43. > :08:48.by Lincoln's business improvement group, with 101 stores agreeing to

:08:48. > :08:53.open on Thursday night until 8pm. Already, almost 40 of those are

:08:53. > :08:57.closing early. Unimpressed, it seems, with an average football on

:08:57. > :09:00.a Thursday night of around 1000 shoppers. I thought I'd come and

:09:00. > :09:04.have a quick look around the shops but there isn't much to open a toll.

:09:04. > :09:09.I'm not impressed. It's a bit rubbish. I've heard a few of the

:09:09. > :09:13.shops have pulled out. There's nothing interesting open. In other

:09:13. > :09:17.cities late night opening has been more successful. In Leeds, the

:09:18. > :09:23.White Rose Centre says 22 % of its Thursday shoppers now arrive after

:09:23. > :09:28.6pm. A significant amount, which business leaders in Lincoln believe

:09:28. > :09:30.can also be achieved. Yes, it is something that takes time. Sunday

:09:30. > :09:34.trading took a long time to get established but now it's a very

:09:34. > :09:38.busy day in the city centre. It takes time for people to get used

:09:38. > :09:43.to it, to get the confidence and to do something different in terms of

:09:43. > :09:47.their normal pattern. More stores, it's thought, will open later

:09:47. > :09:53.during the build-up to Christmas. Many will still need convincing

:09:53. > :09:56.Plans for a biomass power plant near Brigg have been given the go-

:09:56. > :10:00.ahead. The straw-burning station at Scawby Brook will power up to

:10:00. > :10:03.65,000 homes. Many residents were against the plant and North

:10:03. > :10:05.Lincolnshire councillors initially rejected it. But the Government's

:10:05. > :10:10.now backed the application after changes were made to a proposed

:10:10. > :10:14.access route. Plans to scrap CCTV in Lincoln city centre have been

:10:14. > :10:17.abandoned. The Council says it's still reviewing the service but has

:10:17. > :10:21.ruled out the option of closing it down completely. The cameras cost

:10:21. > :10:24.nearly �500,000 a year to operate. A council bailout of a Spalding

:10:24. > :10:29.shopping centre has been approved. South Holland District Council will

:10:29. > :10:35.spend nearly �46,000 on the town's Red Lion quarter. The cash will be

:10:35. > :10:38.used to pay off suppliers who are owed money. In the last hour,

:10:38. > :10:40.parents of children at a Hull primary school have met their local

:10:40. > :10:46.MP to discuss concerns that teachers made negative comments

:10:46. > :10:52.about the pupils on the internet. The board of governors at Westcott

:10:52. > :10:55.Primary is investigating the claims. Anne Marie Tasker has been in the

:10:55. > :11:05.meeting, and joins us from there now. Anne-Marie, what was the mood

:11:05. > :11:06.

:11:06. > :11:09.There was a definite sense of anger. Both that there hasn't been a clear

:11:09. > :11:13.confirmation of the details of these allegations, and also that

:11:13. > :11:17.they feel that the head teacher at the school has an taking more

:11:17. > :11:21.responsibility for the actions of her staff. One of the parents said,

:11:21. > :11:25.we feel disappointed and let down. That was a sentiment echoed around

:11:25. > :11:30.the room. It's been almost two weeks since this incident. Many

:11:30. > :11:34.feel that by now there should be answers to their questions.

:11:34. > :11:38.parents of West good primary, it was the main topic of conversation

:11:38. > :11:43.last Wednesday. Allegations that one of the school's teachers had

:11:43. > :11:47.made derogatory remarks about people from East hole. Some parents

:11:47. > :11:53.said they'd seen a conversation on Facebook, where they'd described

:11:53. > :11:56.people from the area as thick and inbred. Hull City Council says it's

:11:56. > :12:00.still investigating the allegations but added that all schools have

:12:00. > :12:05.been issued with guidance about the appropriate and responsible use of

:12:05. > :12:10.social networking sites, such as Facebook. The school apologised for

:12:10. > :12:14.any offence caused. But for parents and their local MP, that is not the

:12:14. > :12:20.end of the debate. They want action taken against the teacher allegedly

:12:20. > :12:23.involved. Many of the parents also say this has been very awkward for

:12:23. > :12:27.their children. One man in the meetings had her son had come home

:12:27. > :12:30.and asked what inbred meant. It left some very awkward

:12:30. > :12:33.conversations. They also say they are worried that the children

:12:33. > :12:37.haven't been told his school what is going on. They are hoping that

:12:37. > :12:42.the meeting tonight will help shed light on the subject. No teachers

:12:42. > :12:47.have said anything to the parents, nothing. This is what people are

:12:47. > :12:52.probably getting Badat, that nothing has been confirmed. --

:12:52. > :12:55.getting mad act. If it has one or two bad apples that have performed

:12:55. > :12:59.less than professionally, they need to be weeded out quickly and the

:12:59. > :13:03.school needs to get back on track. The teachers in question don't care

:13:03. > :13:10.enough about the school and about the children that go to the school.

:13:10. > :13:14.We need people who care. Obviously some angry parents there. I gather

:13:14. > :13:19.there was a lot of support for some other teachers at the school.

:13:19. > :13:23.Absolutely. One teacher turned up to the meeting he was applauded for

:13:23. > :13:27.attending. She said, I don't want everyone to think we are all the

:13:27. > :13:37.same at the school. Many backed that, saying the majority of staff

:13:37. > :13:42.

:13:42. > :13:49.they do do an exemplary job. Still ahead... The first weekly edition

:13:49. > :13:59.of the Lincolnshire Echo goes on sale. And celebrating the game that

:15:19. > :15:25.holidays so perhaps not too bad. On the satellite picture, a lot of

:15:56. > :16:02.in general, a lot more clout than today. It should be at Friday and

:16:02. > :16:08.as the wind freshens from the south-west, it will reveal sunny

:16:44. > :16:47.It's been a daily paper since 1893, but today, the very first weekly

:16:47. > :16:51.edition of the Lincolnshire Echo has gone on sale. The paper's seen

:16:51. > :16:57.a steady decline in sales over the last few years, and says the move

:16:57. > :17:00.to a weekly is needed to secure its long term future. It comes after

:17:00. > :17:04.the Scunthorpe Telegraph went weekly earlier this year. Here's

:17:04. > :17:11.Vanessa Clarke. With 192 pages, the Lincolnshire

:17:11. > :17:14.Echo is four times bigger than it was. But it will now be published

:17:14. > :17:23.just once a week, and today the new edition hit the shelves for the

:17:23. > :17:27.first time. I had mixed reactions this morning. Some people are

:17:27. > :17:30.saying it is old news and they will not bother buying it but other

:17:30. > :17:33.people are buying it because it is the first edition. It's a new

:17:33. > :17:39.chapter for the company who decided to make the change because of

:17:39. > :17:44.falling revenue. It is happening to papers all over the country and we

:17:44. > :17:53.looked at what we had here and said that so that we could have a strong

:17:53. > :17:56.product going forward, we are going weekly. It has made a difference as

:17:56. > :18:00.I am reporting football games that happened on Tuesday and it is

:18:00. > :18:03.coming out on Thursday. We also have the website as well.

:18:03. > :18:06.Lincolnshire Echo has been a daily paper since 1893 when it was on

:18:06. > :18:11.sale for just a ha'penny. And throughout the years, the paper has

:18:11. > :18:20.kept the people of Lincolnshire up to date, even during the World Wars.

:18:41. > :18:44.others like the Scunthorpe Telegraph which went weekly in

:18:44. > :18:47.August. It says its readership has increased since the change. The

:18:47. > :18:52.team at the Lincolnshire Echo will be hoping their new paper will do

:18:52. > :19:02.just as well. And this might be another story you

:19:02. > :19:09.want to have your say on. What do you think of the Lincolnshire Echo

:19:09. > :19:11.going weekly? Maybe you have seen the edition today and had agreed.

:19:11. > :19:15.There's the email and text details for you now.

:19:15. > :19:17.And thank you for getting in touch after we told you about figures

:19:17. > :19:21.showing that people living in Lincolnshire are facing some of the

:19:21. > :19:24.longest hospital waiting times in the country. It comes as one woman,

:19:24. > :19:29.left waiting for more than ten months, says it's like having your

:19:29. > :19:35.life on hold. More than 700 people in the county have been on a list

:19:35. > :19:38.for over a year. Paul Fields says I have been waiting for an operation

:19:38. > :19:42.at Lincoln County Hospital for 14 months already and have been told

:19:42. > :19:52.it could be another year before I get the procedure done. I am in

:20:20. > :20:23.chance to get hands-on experience which could help them to get jobs

:20:23. > :20:28.in the future. A new Skills Academy is designed to give them an insight

:20:28. > :20:31.into the building and engineering industries. Several local companies

:20:31. > :20:41.are offering expert advice and guidance to a wide range of young

:20:41. > :20:41.

:20:41. > :20:46.people. You get to learn a lot of stuff. Getting experience of it.

:20:46. > :20:50.is better than being sat in a classroom. You get two more hands-

:20:50. > :20:55.on and paint and things. I would like to be an electrician, that's

:20:55. > :20:59.the main one for me. It is here for the use of the whole community to

:21:00. > :21:04.use the idea is, I used it as they wish, but with the aim of raising

:21:04. > :21:07.the skills base and the capacity we have. Memories written of a holiday
