:00:04. > :00:07.Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight.
:00:07. > :00:17.The Chancellor cuts the Humber Bridge debt in two as he announces
:00:17. > :00:18.
:00:18. > :00:23.that tolls will be halved. About time. It is about the highest one
:00:23. > :00:25.in the country. It is still expensive, but it is a lot easier
:00:25. > :00:27.for us to afford. The Chancellor also promises to
:00:27. > :00:30.help Grimsby become a national centre for renewable energy.
:00:30. > :00:35.Lincoln gets a royal visit as Prince Charles brings Camilla on
:00:35. > :00:45.her first visit to the city. Christmas comes early at the house
:00:45. > :00:45.
:00:45. > :00:50.with more than 10,000 festive lights.
:00:50. > :00:53.No detailed forecast is coming BOP. -- you'll detailed forecast is
:00:53. > :00:55.coming up. After a week of leaks and
:00:55. > :01:01.speculation the Chancellor George Osborne today finally confirmed
:01:01. > :01:04.that Humber Bridge tolls for all vehicles are to be cut by 50%. He
:01:04. > :01:12.also announced that Lincoln will get its long awaited Eastern Bypass
:01:12. > :01:17.to ease congestion in the city. Improvements will also be carried
:01:17. > :01:19.out on roads in East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire. And the
:01:19. > :01:24.Humber is to become an official centre for the renewable energy
:01:24. > :01:33.industry. More of that in a moment, but first Tim Iredale reports on
:01:33. > :01:37.today's announcements. In Yorkshire and Humber, we will
:01:38. > :01:42.have the tolls on the Humber Bridge. This was the reaction from truckers
:01:42. > :01:46.in Immingham, as the Chancellor made his long-awaited announcement
:01:46. > :01:52.that tolls on the Humber Bridge would be cut in half. At that time.
:01:52. > :01:57.It is about the highest poll in the country, I think. -- About Time. It
:01:57. > :02:07.is still expensive, but it makes it a lot easier to afford. It is good
:02:07. > :02:08.
:02:08. > :02:14.news. Having it. The Humber Bridge debt currently stands at �332
:02:14. > :02:20.million. That will be reduced by 150 million. From next year, told
:02:20. > :02:25.charges for cars will be reduced from �3 to one pound 50 each way.
:02:25. > :02:28.The bridge will be run by a slimmed-down board, with
:02:28. > :02:32.representatives from the four local authorities on the Humber.
:02:32. > :02:38.Businesses and on their motorists will have a greater say and how the
:02:38. > :02:43.bridges run. -- ordinary motorists. We propose there would be a ten-man
:02:43. > :02:46.board rather than 22 as it is now. Eight local authority members, and
:02:46. > :02:49.two from the private sector. This was the reaction from truckers
:02:49. > :02:52.in Immingham as the Chancellor made his long awaited announcement on
:02:52. > :02:58.reducing the debt outstanding on the Humber Bridge, a move which
:02:58. > :03:01.means tolls will be slashed. The move has been welcomed by MP on
:03:01. > :03:07.all sides, who have long argued that high tolls on the Humber
:03:07. > :03:12.Bridge have been a barrier to creating jobs in the region. It is
:03:12. > :03:18.great news. For people who were looking for jobs, are people living
:03:18. > :03:22.pattern and that kind of area, arts opportunities open up in Hull.
:03:22. > :03:29.government is adjusting its plans. It is saying it is not car but in
:03:29. > :03:32.reality it is. It is good news for So after 30 years of rising tolls,
:03:32. > :03:39.relief at last for the thousands of motorists who've paid a high price
:03:39. > :03:42.for crossing the Humber. The Government also announced it
:03:42. > :03:45.wants to encourage the growth of the renewable energy industry in
:03:45. > :03:55.the Humber. There will be a variety of grants and subsidies for
:03:55. > :03:56.
:03:56. > :04:01.companies setting-up in Grimsby. Paul Murphy explains.
:04:01. > :04:06.Grimsley's Docklands are changing quickly. These are not trawlers but
:04:06. > :04:10.offshore support vessels, ferrying engineers and electricians and to
:04:10. > :04:16.the North Sea turbines. New jobs are being created here nearly every
:04:16. > :04:19.week. There is a lot of work going at the moment. Another two turbines
:04:19. > :04:23.will be built here after this is finished. This will be going and
:04:23. > :04:28.for a few years. Be coming a government enterprise there could
:04:28. > :04:32.accelerate the expansion here. Grimsby is that their area in the
:04:32. > :04:37.Humber to get this special designation. Enterprise zone status
:04:37. > :04:41.brings with it tax breaks and certain planning freedoms. That
:04:41. > :04:47.means this plot becomes much more attractive to investors. That
:04:47. > :04:51.creates jobs. So this traditional dockland is rapidly reinventing
:04:51. > :04:57.itself. Grimsby is the Norman us with fish, and I think it always
:04:57. > :05:05.will be. We have a doubt best business. -- Grimsby is synonymous
:05:05. > :05:15.with fish. It is a great bonus for Grimsby. For these wind energy
:05:15. > :05:16.
:05:16. > :05:21.apprentices, trained in Hull and Grimsby, the future looks bright.
:05:21. > :05:25.It will be a massive thing for future generations for sourcing
:05:25. > :05:31.power. It is Defra again to be a good thing. But a term of grim
:05:31. > :05:35.national economic news, there is a sense that the new industries of
:05:35. > :05:38.the Humber can give the country cause for hope. -- it is definitely
:05:38. > :05:46.going to be a good thing. Tim Iredale joins us now from
:05:46. > :05:50.Westminster. Is this all good news for the area? Plenty of good news
:05:50. > :05:54.against a pretty bleak economic backdrop. The reduction in the
:05:54. > :05:59.Humber Bridge toll will be welcomed, following a campaign that has been
:05:59. > :06:04.going on as long as I can remember. Some surprises today. New road
:06:04. > :06:10.schemes, many of which we thought have been put on the back-burner.
:06:10. > :06:16.The new Lincoln eastern bypass will go ahead. It will be partly funded
:06:16. > :06:21.by the government. The county council welcomed that news. The 164
:06:21. > :06:30.at Beverley to the Humber Bridge Road will be up graded. Part of
:06:30. > :06:34.that will become a new dual carriageway. Traffic will be
:06:34. > :06:40.congested in Immingham by a new road. People are asking where will
:06:40. > :06:44.this money come from. Some has come from government savings. Some of
:06:44. > :06:48.the money is coming from private pension funds. They may not realise
:06:48. > :06:53.it, but there will be people watching tonight whose retirement
:06:53. > :06:57.could be funded by the Humber Bridge. Who would have thought it?
:06:57. > :07:00.Who would have thought it? The man tasked with bringing jobs
:07:00. > :07:10.and wealth to our area is Lord Haskins. He's with me in the studio
:07:10. > :07:12.
:07:12. > :07:17.now. Is this an important they? is momentous. I can remember the
:07:17. > :07:21.day the Humber Bridge was announced, 45 years ago, and thinking what a
:07:21. > :07:27.wonderful opportunity it was. We have been bedevilled with these
:07:27. > :07:31.tolls for years. Making it a centre for renewable energy, if this is
:07:31. > :07:35.the path we are going down, it has to work. Do you think we are
:07:35. > :07:40.putting too many eggs in one basket? It is not just one basket.
:07:40. > :07:45.I think the estuary can do a lot. Renewable energy is going to be a
:07:45. > :07:50.big one. If we get it right, and I am optimistic we will, it will have
:07:50. > :07:54.a significant impact on the way the economy on both sides of the river
:07:54. > :07:59.performs in the years to come. people watching are interested in
:07:59. > :08:03.is, will thus create jobs? There are some people without jobs at the
:08:03. > :08:07.moment. They will be jobs. They will take time to come through. In
:08:07. > :08:12.the meanwhile, we are working in a desperate economic situation. There
:08:12. > :08:16.will be jobs lost as well. Matching the jobs lost with the jobs gained
:08:16. > :08:20.is going to be difficult. There are skills involved, all sorts of
:08:20. > :08:25.issues. For most people, cutting the bridge toll is what is most
:08:25. > :08:32.important. Why could not have happened straight away? You would
:08:32. > :08:36.have to ask the Treasury. They give concessions very meanly and slowly.
:08:36. > :08:41.It is a big step forward. government has focused a lot of
:08:41. > :08:45.attention on the Humber area today. Why has it taken so long? It has
:08:45. > :08:49.been partly because we have not been as well organised in the
:08:49. > :08:53.politics in the past. I have been very impressed. By every be doing
:08:53. > :08:58.this job for two was three weeks. I have been impressed by local MPs
:08:58. > :09:01.from different parties commit together and making a case for the
:09:01. > :09:06.Humber, on the government has listened -- coming together. Thank
:09:06. > :09:16.you very much for coming in tonight. And many of you have already been
:09:16. > :09:42.
:09:42. > :09:44.getting in touch about the issue of For thank you for those.
:09:44. > :09:46.In a moment. As thousands of public sector
:09:46. > :09:52.workers prepare for strike action, we look at how schools and
:09:52. > :09:55.hospitals will be affected. Prince Charles brought The Duchess
:09:55. > :09:58.of Cornwall to Lincoln today for her first visit to the city. The
:09:58. > :10:01.couple spent the morning at Lincoln Cathedral seeing the renovation
:10:01. > :10:04.work there. They then went their separate ways before meeting up to
:10:04. > :10:14.finish their day in a community pub. Tarah Welsh's report contains flash
:10:14. > :10:20.

:10:27. > :10:32.a warm welcome. The royal couple started their trip touring both
:10:32. > :10:41.cathedral. Inside, they met their staff here and a fine silverware
:10:41. > :10:46.came out. Today, the Prince of Wales was led the patron of the

:11:00. > :11:04.was a tragedy for the area. His high-profile visit is very good. It
:11:04. > :11:14.is showing that Lincoln is a good place, the cathedral is a good
:11:14. > :11:17.
:11:17. > :11:22.place. The Prince of Wales on the Duchess of Cornwall are here to
:11:22. > :11:26.view the restoration work here at the cathedral. It is a �2.5 million
:11:26. > :11:29.project. They wanted to meet everyone aboard, including the
:11:29. > :11:34.stone makers. This trip was about more than preserving buildings. It
:11:34. > :11:37.was about securing the future of rural communities. As the Prince
:11:37. > :11:42.discussed the future of farming at a local college, the Duchess of
:11:42. > :11:47.Cornwall joined members of the Women's Institute for lunch. After
:11:47. > :11:52.their busy day, they managed to fit in a pint. This pub near Grantham
:11:52. > :12:01.is part of a scheme which encourages communities to work with
:12:01. > :12:05.landlords to keep services inside the pubs. Really vital. Three
:12:05. > :12:11.couples have been sent to us who were struggling, or Hull are
:12:11. > :12:13.looking at opening farm shops to try to get trading. Those later the

:12:24. > :12:27.out of their Lincolnshire farm by wind turbine noise have had their
:12:27. > :12:29.case settled out of court. Jane and Julian Davis from Deeping St

:17:11. > :17:14.Tomorrow, thousands of public sector workers in East Yorkshire
:17:14. > :17:17.and Lincolnshire will walk out in a strike over changes to their
:17:17. > :17:19.pensions. The dispute, which has been called the biggest for a
:17:19. > :17:23.generation, will see hundreds of schools and public buildings closed.
:17:24. > :17:27.Lindsey Smith has the details of what is being affected. One of the
:17:27. > :17:32.biggest disruptions tomorrow will be the closure of schools. Across
:17:32. > :17:37.our area at least 300 schools will be closed and councils are advising
:17:37. > :17:40.parents that this number is likely to rise. They should check their
:17:40. > :17:44.local authority website in the morning before leaving for school.
:17:44. > :17:50.But it is not just teachers that are walking out. In the schools it
:17:50. > :17:56.is not just teachers. We have kitchen staff, lunchtime support
:17:56. > :18:01.assistants, who only work a very short period of time in the week.
:18:01. > :18:05.Admin staff, school care takers. We are all on low-grade salaries.
:18:05. > :18:10.parents will be expected to find childcare tomorrow at short notice
:18:10. > :18:16.but not all the parents we spoke to were against the strikes. It is
:18:16. > :18:19.hard, but I do agree that the reason why they have to strike.
:18:19. > :18:23.I've got two children and both of them are out of school for it,
:18:23. > :18:27.which means having to take days off and take a pay cut, lose pay
:18:27. > :18:31.because of it. At this time of year in a recession it is ridiculous.
:18:31. > :18:36.The way things are, something needs to be done. I think they've got a
:18:36. > :18:41.right to say for their rights really. It is not just schools that
:18:41. > :18:49.will be disrupted. Healthcare workers are also expected to walk
:18:49. > :18:52.out. United Lincolnshire hospitals trust will try to avoid cancelling
:18:53. > :18:56.operations and appointments. Hull and East Yorkshire trust say some
:18:56. > :19:01.procedures have been cancelled but those patients affected have been
:19:01. > :19:08.informed. They say people should try to avoid using A&E departments
:19:08. > :19:12.tomorrow as they expect to be under pressure. We expect Serge non-
:19:12. > :19:17.essential appointments at clinics, X-ray departments, outpatients, to
:19:17. > :19:23.be cancelled because of lack of staffing. Transport to and from
:19:23. > :19:26.hospitals supplied by balances will be affected, as again urgent care
:19:26. > :19:33.will take priority. But there are many other services that will be
:19:33. > :19:37.put on hold. Libraries, council-run leisure clubs, daycare centres, bin
:19:37. > :19:40.collections, police control centres, even crematoriums could be
:19:40. > :19:44.disrupted tomorrow. Many organisations have told us think
:19:44. > :19:48.don't know how many staff will strike until they look at the
:19:48. > :19:51.picket lines. For more information check your local authority website
:19:51. > :19:55.or listen to BBC Radio Humberside or BBC Lincolnshire.
:19:55. > :19:59.Thank you. How is the strike going to affect
:19:59. > :20:04.you? Are you taking unpaid leave from work tomorrow maybe to look
:20:04. > :20:07.after the children or make extra provision for childcare? Maybe a
:20:07. > :20:17.hospital appointment has been cancelled. If you want to get in
:20:17. > :20:23.
:20:23. > :20:25.I look forward to hearing from you. We'll hear from some of new a
:20:25. > :20:28.moment. The Government is to spend �5
:20:28. > :20:31.million tackling the growing problem of metal theft. The money
:20:31. > :20:34.will be used to target both the thieves and the dealers who
:20:34. > :20:37.illegally trade in stolen metal. But the scheme comes too late for a
:20:37. > :20:40.charity shop in Market Rasen, where staff are still clearing up after
:20:40. > :20:48.metal thieves caused thousands of pounds worth of damage. Simon Spark
:20:48. > :20:54.has the latest of our special reports on metal theft. When I came
:20:54. > :20:59.on Sunday I was devastated. Two inchs of water, water coming down
:20:59. > :21:07.on my precious furniture, as I call it. This is is the sad reality of
:21:07. > :21:13.the dep. Depths criminals will go to for copper theft. This charity
:21:13. > :21:17.shop raises money for the air ambulance. Copper from a heating
:21:17. > :21:21.system from the flat above was the target, which flooded the shot and
:21:21. > :21:25.ruined their stock. Most of the copper had been replaced with
:21:25. > :21:30.plastic pipe from the first theft. I can't put it into words how I
:21:30. > :21:34.feel. Absolutely gutted. It's soul destroying. It is just destructive.
:21:34. > :21:38.We are all devastated. What could only have been a few pounds worth
:21:38. > :21:43.of copper is �6,000 worth of damage to the charity. Unfortunately, the
:21:43. > :21:47.effect to homes and workplaces is just one area. Hundreds of
