:00:08. > :00:11.As plans for a line of electricity pylons through the Lincolnshire

:00:21. > :00:23.
:00:23. > :00:26.of wind energy? This site was totally unacceptable. A pile on

:00:44. > :00:46.a little bit dodgy. It is not against the rules.

:01:02. > :01:12.And that all-important weekend weather forecast will follow later

:01:13. > :01:17.A group who have been fighting plans against 30 miles of power
:01:17. > :01:20.cables across the Lincolnshire countryside are claiming victory.
:01:20. > :01:23.The energy company behind the proposals was told it will have to
:01:23. > :01:28.dig cables underground to transport power from a planned wind farm off
:01:28. > :01:33.the coast. Now RWE energy say they're looking at the feasibility
:01:33. > :01:37.of the whole idea. Our environment correspondent Siobhan Robbins has
:01:37. > :01:42.more. Campaigners have made their
:01:42. > :01:45.feelings about a substation in the Wolds very clear. The 40 acre site
:01:45. > :01:55.was needed to connect energy from hundreds of giant offshore turbines
:01:55. > :01:55.
:01:55. > :02:00.like these to the national grid but now the idea has been scrapped.
:02:00. > :02:08.are obviously delighted. This site was totally unacceptable with a
:02:08. > :02:10.pile on site in Lincolnshire coast being unacceptable. -- pylon.
:02:10. > :02:14.original plan meant energy from Triton Knoll would have come onto
:02:14. > :02:17.land and be fed into a substation in East Linsey. 46m high pylons
:02:17. > :02:20.would then have wound their way down 55km the East Coast to Bicker
:02:20. > :02:26.Fen Substation. Now the idea is a cable under the sea will bring the
:02:26. > :02:29.power to land near Bicker Fen where it'll be fed into the national grid.
:02:30. > :02:34.This is the sub-station near Boston which will take the electricity end.
:02:34. > :02:39.It will not do it alone. Under new plans, another sub-station could be
:02:39. > :02:43.built here and it could even stretch over 40 acres, just like
:02:43. > :02:49.the one that has been scrapped. Have campaigners only moved their
:02:49. > :02:53.problems down the road? I do not think so. Our position was clear.
:02:53. > :02:57.They have existing wind farms built onshore and have a sub-station
:02:57. > :03:02.there. We have always made it clear we will only support the
:03:02. > :03:05.development of sub-stations and pylons on existing sites and on
:03:05. > :03:08.existing routes. They do not want to see any more of Lincolnshire
:03:08. > :03:12.damaged by industrial development in the countryside. Campaigners
:03:12. > :03:14.here may have won this fight but the East Coast is prime land for
:03:14. > :03:21.more offshore windfarms and many more will need connecting to the
:03:21. > :03:24.land. We are going to need the infrastructure in order to
:03:24. > :03:28.transport energy no matter how me make it. There will have to be some
:03:28. > :03:31.land appropriated for sub-stations and they will have to be
:03:31. > :03:34.infrastructure like cables, in this case. It is not the right way
:03:34. > :03:38.forward and they would rather put money into the new influx of energy
:03:38. > :03:40.to get the country going again. new plans for Triton Knoll still
:03:40. > :03:43.need finalising and public approval but underground cables and
:03:43. > :03:46.substations aren't cheap which raises the question, how high does
:03:46. > :03:56.the bill for connection have to get before the windfarm itself becomes
:03:56. > :03:58.
:03:58. > :04:00.Adam Bell from Renewables UK who promotes green energy says the
:04:00. > :04:10.decision not to put cables underground wouldn't put companies
:04:10. > :04:11.
:04:11. > :04:14.off investing in renewable energy. Not at all. What you have to
:04:14. > :04:17.consider is the way in which offshore wind is going to be
:04:18. > :04:23.delivered. It will be delivered across a lot of the North Sea and
:04:23. > :04:28.we're going to make sure that the impact upon people who live along
:04:28. > :04:31.the east coast is minimised. We will do that by having as few
:04:31. > :04:33.connections as possible. The technology we are looking at using
:04:33. > :04:39.means we can bring in more power than perhaps we would have
:04:39. > :04:43.otherwise been able to, which will hope we minimise the impact. What
:04:43. > :04:48.people are interested in, pylons are underground and now this one
:04:48. > :04:52.has to be underground. Both technologies have impacts upon the
:04:52. > :04:58.landscape. What is important is to make sure that people can
:04:58. > :05:01.participate in the way in which this is delivered, for example,
:05:01. > :05:05.which would it have taken and perhaps where the sub-station is.
:05:05. > :05:12.If they have a chance to participate in decision-making,
:05:12. > :05:16.they may not -- may find it more acceptable. It will cost you
:05:16. > :05:20.companies are not for lot more than double the destruction of people --
:05:20. > :05:29.if they go underground. Will that not put people off investing in
:05:29. > :05:34.green? I think technology has moved on and this technology is cheaper
:05:34. > :05:37.than underground cables would have been in the past. As a consequence,
:05:37. > :05:47.it may be encouraging and demonstrate innovation is being
:05:47. > :05:53.applied. How clean is wind power if it means digging up rural areas,
:05:53. > :05:57.which will mean mile upon mile? give you an example, every single
:05:57. > :06:01.one per bind will make up for its construction within a year of
:06:01. > :06:07.operation which means it will cut down carbon emissions and cut down
:06:07. > :06:11.the use the power from polluting power stations. It means, to give
:06:11. > :06:15.you an example, our countryside will remain less impact of from
:06:15. > :06:19.countries -- climate change than would have otherwise been the case.
:06:19. > :06:22.Thank you. We want to hear from you on this
:06:22. > :06:26.story. Do you think pylons or digging up the countryside are a
:06:26. > :06:34.necessary evil of green energy or do you think the impact would be
:06:34. > :06:44.too great on the landscape? Maybe you do not want them at all. Let us

:07:01. > :07:05.A Euro MP from East Yorkshire has defended her decision to resign - a
:07:05. > :07:08.move which paves the way for her husband to take over her job
:07:08. > :07:11.without a single vote being cast. Under current rules, Diana Wallis's
:07:11. > :07:17.husband will step into her shoes because he was the Liberal
:07:17. > :07:19.Democrats' second choice candidate at the last European elections. But
:07:19. > :07:29.critics have accused the MEP of doing more damage to the
:07:29. > :07:32.
:07:32. > :07:36.reputations of politicians, a claim she strongly denies.
:07:36. > :07:41.It is a resignation that shocked the world of European politics.
:07:41. > :07:46.Diana Wallis has represented the region on behalf of the Liberal
:07:46. > :07:49.Democrats for more than 12 years. This week, she failed in her bed to
:07:49. > :07:53.become the president of the European Parliament. Speaking at
:07:53. > :07:58.her home in East Yorkshire, she told me why she has decided to step
:07:58. > :08:04.down now. There is a tinge of disillusionment but the
:08:04. > :08:08.disillusionment that inspires me to say, I think I can do more here
:08:08. > :08:13.than in being a way. If the argument about Europe needs to be
:08:13. > :08:18.made, it needs to be made here. R Wallace as a former solicitor who
:08:18. > :08:23.later became a Liberal Democrat councillor on the old Humberside
:08:23. > :08:28.authority and in the East Riding. She became an MEP in 1989 and has
:08:28. > :08:32.served as a vice-president of the European Parliament. Diana Wallis
:08:32. > :08:39.says she will step down at the end of the month. A likely successor is
:08:39. > :08:43.causing some controversy. Under current rules, the Liberal Democrat
:08:43. > :08:49.second-choice candidate at the time of the last European election will
:08:49. > :08:55.take her place. He is Stuart Arnold, who also happens to beat Diana
:08:55. > :09:00.Wallis's husband. I think it is a little bit dodgy, it is not against
:09:00. > :09:05.the rules in the way that flipping your house is to avoid capital
:09:05. > :09:08.gains tax was against the rules, but I think what we're trying to do
:09:08. > :09:12.now in politics to try to catch up on our reputation of being complete
:09:12. > :09:17.scoundrels, is to try to avoid this kind of thing, which is clearly
:09:17. > :09:24.within the rules but a bit smelly. What do you say to your colleagues
:09:24. > :09:32.who say this is an example of nepotism? There was a selection
:09:32. > :09:40.with in my party. There was a public collection. It is up to the
:09:40. > :09:44.person who is now second on the list to decide what he wants to do.
:09:44. > :09:47.Diana Wallis says she remains a committed pro-European Liberal
:09:47. > :09:54.Democrat but in this year of coalition politics, the spotlight
:09:54. > :09:57.is on a political marriage of a different kind.
:09:57. > :10:02.Tim Iredale will be here on Sunday when he'll be hosting a debate on

:11:06. > :11:09.A log-flume ride on Bridlington's sea front has been taken down
:11:09. > :11:11.following an accident last year in which a woman suffered serious leg
:11:11. > :11:14.injuries. 58-year-old Ann Smallwood from South Yorkshire was with her

:11:25. > :11:30.Within the last couple of hours a deal has been reached that could
:11:30. > :11:32.see tolls reduced on the Humber Bridge. Leaders of four councils
:11:32. > :11:38.met this afternoon to discuss who should underwrite the outstanding
:11:38. > :11:41.debt. The government had already agreed to clear half of the �330
:11:41. > :11:46.million owed, which would allow the cost of a single crossing for a car
:11:47. > :11:52.to be cut to �1.50. Tonight, Hull City Council has agreed to shoulder
:11:52. > :12:02.the remaining debt single-handedly. Phil Connell is live at the Humber
:12:02. > :12:04.
:12:04. > :12:08.Bridge tonight. How was the deal done? The government's condition of
:12:09. > :12:11.writing off half of the debt was that the four surrounding a
:12:11. > :12:15.authorities take on the equal responsibility for the outstanding
:12:15. > :12:21.debt which was left. That has proved to be something of a
:12:21. > :12:26.sticking point with North East Lincolnshire Council claiming they
:12:26. > :12:31.are unable to agree to that. Following a meeting here, Hull city
:12:31. > :12:34.council has come forward with a new proposal which would see them take
:12:34. > :12:40.on single handed responsibility for this debt without the support of
:12:40. > :12:44.the three neighbouring authorities. Hull has said that an authority --
:12:44. > :12:48.if an agreement cannot be reached, we will shoulder the debt and we
:12:48. > :12:52.see it as a liability, not a debt. That would allow tolls to be
:12:52. > :12:56.reduced and it is important this goes out to the government loud and
:12:56. > :13:02.clear, that Hull is at the centre of the city region and the Humber
:13:02. > :13:08.area remains open for business. What people are interested in is
:13:08. > :13:13.when the tolls will come down. Although Hull City Council has
:13:13. > :13:16.agreed to single-handedly take on this responsibility, not all of the
:13:16. > :13:21.local authorities are happy. Northland is a council say they
:13:21. > :13:25.would rather see a system where everyone had shared equally in
:13:25. > :13:29.taking on this debt. Because of that, they believe this new idea
:13:29. > :13:33.could still encounter some problems. Hull City Council believes the
:13:33. > :13:36.government will accept this and they say that all being well, their
:13:37. > :13:46.toll charges here at the bridge could still be reduced by 50% by
:13:47. > :13:49.
:13:49. > :13:52.Thank you for watching on Friday. Still ahead.... Dreaming of Olympic

:14:54. > :14:59.Tomorrow, it will start of damp and it should brighten up as we head
:14:59. > :15:04.into the afternoon. It is a broad run of westerly wind, we do quite
:15:04. > :15:08.well usually with the set-up but Sunday could be similar with some
:15:08. > :15:14.rain at first and then it brightens up into the afternoon. Throughout
:15:14. > :15:20.the weekend, very windy. Miserable right now. Cloudy and damp with
:15:20. > :15:27.rain and drizzle affecting much of the region. That will continue into
:15:27. > :15:31.the night, the wind will strengthen and the rain tends to peter out but
:15:31. > :15:39.there will still be drizzle in places and the wind could reach
:15:39. > :15:49.gale force in exposed parts. Lows of around six degrees. The sun will
:15:49. > :15:49.
:15:49. > :15:53.rise in the morning at 8:05am. This is the high water times... It will
:15:53. > :15:59.be a slow start tomorrow, cloudy and damp with drizzle and the odd
:15:59. > :16:02.spot of rain but it will very slowly improve through the day. I
:16:02. > :16:07.have expecting the skies to brighten up and they should be
:16:07. > :16:10.sunny spells and the chance of showers. The wind continues to be
:16:10. > :16:18.strong, blowing from the West and temperatures not too bad for this
:16:18. > :16:22.time of year. Nine degrees in Grimsby, Lincoln and Skegness.

:16:42. > :16:45.Don't give yourself a shock! the nice weekend. Now... It would
:16:45. > :16:48.provide enough power for tens of thousands of homes and cost more
:16:48. > :16:51.than �100 million. Proposals for a new green power station in Hull
:16:51. > :16:54.have been revealed today. The developers say more than 200 jobs
:16:54. > :16:57.will be created if the wood burning plant is given planning permission.
:16:57. > :17:05.And as Paul Murphy reports, it's part of the growth of new green
:17:05. > :17:10.industries on the Humber. The dockside location for the proposed
:17:10. > :17:14.plant is important. It will burn tiny pellets of waste would shipped
:17:14. > :17:22.in from Europe and beyond. The developers are stressing it is
:17:22. > :17:28.green. We can make massive savings in biomass and it is neutral. It
:17:28. > :17:33.can only be met the same as is absorbed. The power station will be
:17:33. > :17:37.built near Queen Elizabeth docked in Hull. Next door to the proposed
:17:37. > :17:41.see man's wind turbine factory. Once operational, this will
:17:42. > :17:47.generate enough electricity to supply a third of businesses in the
:17:47. > :17:51.area. And those behind it want to see it working by 2015. Around 200
:17:51. > :17:57.jobs will be created in construction and around 30 full-
:17:57. > :18:01.time staff working here. It marks another investment in green energy
:18:01. > :18:06.in the Humber. A similar power plant running on food and garden
:18:06. > :18:09.waste has already been given the go-ahead. There are projects trying
:18:09. > :18:14.to harness the power of the river through growing numbers of jobs in
:18:14. > :18:19.areas such as wind turbine maintenance. It is good to have
:18:19. > :18:22.more than one egg in your basket. It brings all the experts into one
:18:22. > :18:28.place and helps develop new technology and we need to bring the
:18:28. > :18:32.price of energy down and having three types, tidal, wind and
:18:32. > :18:37.biomass, can only help. planning application will be
:18:37. > :18:44.submitted to the council in April and, if approved, construction can
:18:44. > :18:49.begin before the end of the year. And we will continue to follow that
:18:49. > :18:54.story. Thanks for getting in touch with us about the calls to change
:18:54. > :18:58.the name of Skegness that we told you about on last night's programme.
:18:58. > :19:04.There was a big response and also on the radio today. Jerry from

:19:09. > :19:17.loyal band of holidaymakers who enjoy slot machines, kiss-me-quick
:19:17. > :19:19.hats and fish and chips. Leave Skegness alone. Les from Coningsby
:19:19. > :19:22.says, keep the name Skegness, abolish East Lindsey District

:21:27. > :21:37.around the corner so join me as to follow five R plates from Yorkshire
:21:37. > :21:47.and Lincolnshire on their road to London 2012. She looks very good at
:21:47. > :21:47.
:21:47. > :21:53.double that. This young man will have 2012 in his sights. What a
:21:53. > :21:59.moment for Richard. I am honest, I want to get an individual place in
:21:59. > :22:04.the 400 metres and won a medal for the relay team. It is blood, sweat
:22:04. > :22:09.and tears, putting in the hours in the pool and it is tough. To get
:22:09. > :22:18.the medals would be fantastic. next six months will be so fast,
:22:18. > :22:24.I'm just concentrating on improving. I want to be the best I can be.
:22:24. > :22:31.2012, it will be a better year than 2011, for all of my family. It will
:22:31. > :22:41.give us something to take our minds of everything that has happened.
:22:41. > :22:44.
:22:44. > :22:47.would be my dream. It would just be my world, really. That is a great
:22:47. > :22:50.programme. You can see that programme at 5pm on Sunday on BBC
:22:51. > :22:53.One. And as you saw, the programme is presented by John Inverdale, who
:22:53. > :23:00.told me that Yorkshire and Lincolnshire has a lot to be
:23:00. > :23:04.excited about. The whole country has a lot to be excited about. What
:23:04. > :23:07.do the Games mean to me in Bridlington or Grimsby? If there is
:23:07. > :23:13.a medallist from this part of the world he goes home on the open-top
:23:13. > :23:17.bus, my goodness, we will be excited. The boxer from Hall has a
:23:17. > :23:21.real opportunity in the bantamweight category. There are
:23:21. > :23:28.reasons to be optimistic and cheerful. Who should we be watching
:23:28. > :23:33.from this part of the world? Who has the best chance? Lazy Simmons
:23:33. > :23:37.is a phenomenal slumber. She has medals in major championships,
:23:37. > :23:41.domestic and European and the Commonwealth Games. And the
:23:41. > :23:44.Olympics is the world. The worst thing that the media can do is
:23:44. > :23:48.saddle these young people, because they are young, and a lot of them
:23:49. > :23:54.have not been selected yet. A lot of them have not been picked yet.
:23:54. > :23:58.We saddle them with almost greater expectations than is warranted. If
:23:59. > :24:02.you watch the programme on Sunday, sandwiched between the Antiques
:24:02. > :24:06.Roadshow and songs of Praise. You will see five incredibly determined,
:24:06. > :24:11.single-minded young people from the area, who will hopefully get to the
:24:11. > :24:17.Olympic Games and get medals. are not the antique in the middle!
:24:17. > :24:20.We look forward to that programme. It don't forget, 5:00pm on Sunday.
:24:20. > :24:23.It's almost the end of January but that doesn't mean it can't be panto
:24:23. > :24:26.time. Staff from BBC Radio Humberside and Look North are
:24:26. > :24:31.preparing for their debut pantomime performance. They've been
:24:31. > :24:34.rehearsing for weeks and Anne-Marie Tasker has been watching. Just last
:24:34. > :24:37.month, the panto season was in full swing. But now the stars of Hull's
:24:37. > :24:41.show, the Chuckle Brothers, have left town and in the shops,
:24:41. > :24:48.Christmas cards have been swapped for Valentine's ones. But for our

:24:52. > :24:55.star's... Up Staff from Radio Humberside and Look North are
:24:55. > :25:02.rehearsing Robinson Crusoe. It's a new experience for radio newsreader
:25:02. > :25:05.Sally Fairfax. I don't have a problem with singing, it is the
:25:05. > :25:09.dancing. And will have to smile quite a lot because I am not the
:25:09. > :25:12.best dancer on stage. But others are old hands, like breakfast
:25:12. > :25:19.presenter Andy Comfort. He's done the panto for the past ten years.
:25:19. > :25:24.But this time he's got to learn more than lines. I don't want to
:25:24. > :25:27.spoil the plot but we start with a spectacular sword fight and we have
:25:27. > :25:32.choreographed this properly and Ruby is a proper fencing teacher
:25:32. > :25:35.who has taught us some that moves. Last year's panto raised money for
:25:35. > :25:38.St Andrew's Hospice in Grimsby. This year the cash is going to

:27:01. > :27:05.beautiful but we must move on with modern developments, especially

:27:10. > :27:13.because it would not be an eyesore. Kieran says it is a case of selfish
:27:13. > :27:19.people who put themselves above the future energy resources of the
