Good evening. And welcome to Look North. The headlines tonight. A | :00:06. | :00:10. | |
woman dies in a suspected carbon monoxide leak. We will have the | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
details from the scene live. A landscape that has provided | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
inspiration but is rubbish blighting the view of the Yorkshire | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
woels? Loads of people, they come in here in summer time, and they | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
won't want to look at a heap of rubbish. A city divided over the | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
need for late-night shopping through the year. And the former | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
soldier training to climb the world's highest mountain. Join me | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
for the latest on the risk of snow this weekend. There is an early | :00:40. | :00:50. | |
:00:50. | :00:54. | ||
warning in force. More coming up Good evening. A woman has died and | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
a man has had to be rescued from flats in Cleethorpes after a | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
suspected poisonous gas leak. The gas, is thought to have been carbon | :01:04. | :01:12. | |
monoxide. An investigation is under way at the scene on Bar Croft Road. | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
What can you tell us about this Lindsay? I can tell you that a | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
postmortem examination is being carried out on the body of a lady | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
in her 50s who was found in this flat last night. Firefighters broke | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
into the property where wearing breathing apparatus because their | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
monitors were show hag the gas seeping out were so high. A | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
gentleman on the bottom floor was saved. Another people from | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
neighbouring properties were evacuated, but this is such a | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
tragic loss of life. We found out this community know all too well | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
the dangers of this silent killer. This is anary where with a strong | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
Neighbourhood Watch group. A group who just last year distributed | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
carbon monoxide alarms to its residents. But it appears the lady | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
in this first floor flat wasn't using hers. Levels of the gas were | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
so high, it act vaited next door's alarm. We found severe high | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
concentration of carbon monoxide, to this property. We managed to | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
alert the gentleman in the top floor flat who came out of the | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
building, we had to force entry into the lower, into the ground | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
floor flat, where unfortunately we found a lady believed to be in her | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
50s, that had died. It is not the first death in Cleethorpes linked | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
to the gas. In 2006, a man died after a suspected leak in an | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
Alexander Road flat. It has left neighbours shocked Us with having | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
children ourselves, we are going to get our boiler and everything else | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
checked out, to be on the safe side. It is scary. You need to get your | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
appliances checked over. Every year it is estimated that round 4,000 | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
people go to Accident & Emergency with symptoms to carbon monoxide | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
poise nince. 200 people are hospitalised and there are round 50 | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
deaths in England and Wales. cold spells such as we experience | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
now, heaters and appliances that haven't been used for some time, | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
that haven't been serviced are found to be faulty, and that | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
released carbon monoxide into the property, if the property is not | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
adequately ventilated. Humberside Police will begin an investigation. | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
It is likely to focus on the gas safety checks in this rented | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
property. Lindsay, how can other households avoid this happening to | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
them? Well, if they haven't used a gas fire or heater since it was | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
cold last year, then get it checkled by a qualified technician, | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
the temptation during this cold spell is just to switch it on, but | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
we are told by fire safety officials that that is a dangerous | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
hinge to do. If you live in a rented property, ask your landlord | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
to see the documentation on his gas safety checks, but arguably most | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
important of all it is to install a carbon monoxide alarm. They only | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
cost a few pounds and I am sure the neighbours to this house would | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
testify that is money well spent. Joining me from Leeds is saysy | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
Roger, she lost her son Dominic to carbon monoxide poisoning in 2004. | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
She has set up a campaign to warn others about the dangers. Good | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
evening to you. Good evening. is this gas so dangerous? Because | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
it is invisible. It is like a ghost. It is called the silent killer | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
because you can't see it, you can't smell it, and there is no way you | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
can tell it is there. How can we get the message across to people it | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
is so dangerous? We just need to, you know, check on people, make | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
sure they have their carbon monoxide alarms, make sure the | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
landlords are giving the tenants gas safety certificates. If they | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
are not the landlords are breaking the law on this. What is your | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
message to people tonight, about the risks of this, as you call, the | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
silent killer? My main thing is get your gas appliances check by a gas | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
safe engineer and buy a carbon monoxide alarm. I didn't have a | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
carbon monoxide alarm when I lost Dominic, and in my case, the carbon | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
monoxide was coming from next door's house, into mine, so | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
although your appliances might be fine, what about next doors? You | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
cannot risk it on your family. in a way, yours is obviously a | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
dreadful story, in a way you need to tackle the neighbours as well.. | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
That is it. You know what I mean. We are not gas -- gas experts at | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
the end of the day. If it is going to come from next door, then, you | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
know, it is a real big problem. After a story like yours, going | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
back to 2004 and hearing another one, it must depress you immensely. | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
Yes, it does, but, you know, it is something so horrible, that it | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
keeps it in the press and it gets to people, the awareness, that is | :05:58. | :06:05. | |
what we have do. Thank you for your time. Now, in a moment on the | :06:05. | :06:12. | |
programme. Confusion over the final resting place of Christopher Alder. | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
Now, they have inspired the paintings of hock but visitors say | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
the Yorkshire Wolds are being blighted by fly-tippers. The new | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
exhibition of the artist's paintings is on display at the | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
Royal Academy in London, drawing huge crowds. Now there are fears | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
that the real landscape of the Wolds is being ruined by the waste | :06:32. | :06:40. | |
that is being dumped there. A work of natural art. Wrecked by human | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
hand. David Hockney may have put the woulds on a tourist map, but | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
today press criticism his paintings have airbrush out a litter strewn | :06:49. | :06:59. | |
reality. Art Gallery silence replaced by frantic cleaningful. | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
is a problem fly-tipping up ehere, it has been for a number of years, | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
now then David Hockney has put this exhibition on in London, loads of | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
people will be coming here in summer time and they won't want to | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
look at a heap of rubbish. tourist group welcome to Yorkshire | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
believe the Hockney trail could bring thousands of visitors here, | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
but once they have come here, will they come back when you are seeing | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
the likes of all this rubbish being picked up by the East Riding of | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
Yorkshire council. But council clearing is limited to public land | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
so on private property the gas canisters are staying put. And that | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
is frustrating for Billy Pickering's stables nearby which | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
fear a tourism backlash. We rely on the holiday makers who love the | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
open countryside. They don't want to be seeing this sort of thing. | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
The council are wonderful, you know, as soon as it has been there a few | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
days they gather it up and take it away. The worst problem is what has | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
blown into the woods and anything that is dumped there. Clearing fly | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
tipping costs more than � 00,000 a year. Graham Long says he has seen | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
an improvement over last ten years. I don't think it is as bad as it | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
was 20, 30 years ago. If grow back to old days you could see | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
mattresses and all sorts but you don't see as much as they there | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
used to be. There is no need. can take it to the tip. I doesn't | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
it doesn't cost you. They are not foreigners they do it, they are | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
your next door neighbour, our villagers. It is basically a | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
disgrace. Tonight we are told the council wants the Wolds to be | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
officially recognised as an area of outstanding natural beauty. But | :08:43. | :08:52. | |
they may first need a few more trips to the tip. Contact details | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
coming up, earlier I spoke to John Skidmore from the East Riding of | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
Yorkshire council. I asked him what the council is doing to tackle the | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
fly-tipping. We live in a beautiful tart of -- part of the country here, | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
and the council works hard in keeping the roads, the grass verges | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
and the public areas clean and tidy. The areas we have in the Wolds, the | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
dumping is on private land, and clearly, we will, if we find | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
evidence, prosecute those who are illegally depositing waste on | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
private land and will take tough action through the courts. Clearly | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
it is the land owner's responsibility where it is on | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
private lands. People have been texting me, saying if you fine | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
people properly they would stop it but they are not, they are getting | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
away with it. Where we have evidence, Peter, and we have a | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
track record of success through the court, but it is down to | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
magistrates and the Crown Courts who set the level of fine, we will | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
take tough action, and without hesitation. Take people through the | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
courts, because there is no need to despoil the beautiful country side | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
here in the East Riding, and we will take tough action. You are | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
working fast to sort this out it has had National Policety today. | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
Can the media take some credit for that? Peter, we have an ongoing | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
operation in the East Riding where we constantly check and maintain | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
and remove any waste that is illegally deposited on the roads, | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
on the grass verge, if it is on public land. We want residents to | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
use the facilities we provide and not dump in the East Riding, but | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
clearly, we are working with the private land owners and today one | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
agreed that the council would remove the waste, at his expense so | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
it is not cost to the general public here. Your message tonight | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
to those who are fly-tipping, particularly maybe small firms, we | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
have Ian the gas canisters there, it doesn't sound as if it is a | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
private individual. Your message is what? The message to those people | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
is where we have evidence and we get reports from residents we will | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
take tough accuse shund and pursue them from the courts and go for the | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
maximum fine, because of a beautiful part of the country here | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
in the East Riding and we want that for our residents and to support | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
business. Thank you. I would be interested foe what you think of | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
this one. Not just in the would bus what do you think of this? What | :11:21. | :11:31. | |
:11:31. | :11:33. | ||
needs to be done to stop fly- tipping. Start your text with Look | :11:33. | :11:41. | |
North. I look forward to hearing of your thoughts on fly-tipping. Now, | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
some more news round our area, the family of missing Hull man Stuart | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
Gilson are offering a �2,000 reward for information that helps them | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
find him. Today, search teams have been scouring the banks of the | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
River Humber and the river Hull. The 21-year-old was last seen on | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
the Drypool Bridge in Hull on Saturday, after a night out with | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
friends. His family say it is totally out of character. The man | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
who died after a police siege in Lincolnshire has been formally | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
identified as Barry Horspool. The 61-year-old died at his home on | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
Tuesday evening. Armed police had been called to the house on chapel | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
gate after a firearms incident. A police officer was also injured. A | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
second week of strike action by imham based tanker drivers has been | :12:25. | :12:32. | |
suspected for talks. Staff employed by Wincanton have been disputing | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
changes to pay and condition k conditions. Discussions are taking | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
place between the company and the unions. One of Hull's largest | :12:40. | :12:47. | |
employers says it is pleased with the annual results. Smith & Nephew | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
says the Hull operation is performing well. It has warned that | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
500 jobs will be cut from its global work force over the next | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
three years as part of plans to reduce costs. Late-night shopping | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
in Lincoln will continue even though the number of stores taking | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
part has dropped. The scheme began last April, but since then, round | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
40 of the 100 city centre shops which signed up have pulled out. | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
Blaming a lack of demand. Organisers say they need to give it | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
more time to become established. Empty streets with barely anyone | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
round. This was what late-night shopping looked like in Lincoln | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
last October. Scenes that prompted many shops to pull out. But today, | :13:30. | :13:40. | |
:13:40. | :13:43. | ||
organisers insist late opening on a This is the same pattern when | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
Sunday trading started. Disappointing, but it needs to | :13:46. | :13:53. | |
build. We want to maintain this, so people know there's Derry, late | :13:53. | :14:01. | |
nights is a Lincoln. When later opening first started, more than | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
100 shops took part. Now there is only around 60. Shops are split | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
between those who were carrying on and those who say it is not worth | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
their while. The it was not very viable. You have to pay staff costs, | :14:16. | :14:22. | |
shop costs, and we were not making the money to warrant opening. | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
can be quite yet, but we only need a few customers to make it | :14:26. | :14:33. | |
worthwhile. -- it can be quiet. It across East Yorkshire and | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
Lincolnshire, authorities are trying different ways to help | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
retailers. South Kesteven district council has invested �18,000 in | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
shop fronts improvements. In Driffield, local shops have started | :14:45. | :14:52. | |
a loyalty scheme for customers. In Brigg and Scunthorpe, North | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
Lincolnshire are offering free short-term parking to encourage | :14:55. | :15:02. | |
more shoppers. Many shoppers have still to embrace late night | :15:02. | :15:09. | |
shopping. It is a bit cold but in summer, more likely to come out. | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
it will seem to manage without. Some shops say they are willing to | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
give let 98 -- some shops say they are willing to give late opening | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
another try it once the customers are there. | :15:25. | :15:33. | |
Let us know is enough being done in your area or? | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
Hundar that people have failed to have their bins emptied in East | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
Riding because the council says it has had too much recycling to | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
collect. Some residents in Ellerton and Brough have been told to leave | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
their bins on the street until a council has the capacity to take | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
their glass, paper and plastics away. The council says it hopes to | :15:55. | :16:02. | |
have played the back lock -- the council hopes to have cleared the | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
backlog by the weekend. It looks a mess. We tried to recycle as much | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
as possible. I am annoyed about that. They could let us know what | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
is happening. We have left our bins out since Monday, in case they do | :16:17. | :16:24. | |
come back. Still ahead: Confusion over the final resting place of | :16:24. | :16:27. | |

You're so classic! I was in a coffee shop. | :17:18. | :17:25. | |
We have had a few flurries of snow across our region today. This was | :17:25. | :17:32. | |
Boston, and this was Glanford Park. They have the covers in preparation | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
for this week's fixture. If it was like that in London, things would | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
have grounded to wear a halt. Seriously, we have a weather | :17:41. | :17:49. | |
warning in place for the weekend. We reckon it will be a feature for | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
the end of Saturday, into a Saturday evening and night. There | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
could be some heavy snowfall. I will be a new radio station | :17:57. | :18:07. | |

see further snow flurries this evening and overnight, especially | :18:29. | :18:36. | |
towards the coast. Further west, the cloud will gradually melt away. | :18:36. | :18:41. | |

You'll be all over the radio station like to cheaper code. | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
Not as cheap as yours! You walk into that! | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
I certainly did. Now, 11 years after he should have | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
been buried, disagreement surrounds the final resting place of | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
Christopher Alder. Mr all but died in custody at a police station in | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
Hull in 1998. It is thought a mix- up at the elite mortuary led to the | :19:57. | :20:05. | |
body of a woman, Grace Kamara, being buried in his place. | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
The quiet calm of Hull's Western Cemetery will be disturbed and what | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
was thought to be Christopher Alder's grave is exude. It seems | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
likely the grave contains the remains of Grace Kamara, who died | :20:19. | :20:28. | |
in 1999. There is growing confusion as to who should occupy that crave. | :20:28. | :20:38. | |

-- Christopher Alder's grave is exude. Grace Kamara's family want | :20:41. | :20:51. | |
her body to be returned there, as her body has the compose their. | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
brother of Christopher Alder told me how shocked and upset he is. He | :20:55. | :21:03. | |
said that the family thought his daughter's ashes would be returned | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
to the grave. The next few weeks ago only likely to add to the | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
distress of the families involved. Degrade will be exude, then DNA | :21:12. | :21:20. | |
tests are likely to confirm the remains as being Grace Kamara. A | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
second funeral for Christopher will take place shortly afterwards, but | :21:23. | :21:29. | |
there is a question as to where his final resting place should be. The | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
families are united in their quest for information. What stop them in | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
2000, when Christopher's body was in a better condition, Grace | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
Kamara's body was in a better condition, what stops them finding | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
out them? I while the exhumation is scheduled for February 23rd, the | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
final resting places for Christopher Alder and Grace Kamara | :21:55. | :22:02. | |
could be harder to resolve. Thank you for your messages about | :22:02. | :22:06. | |

This year marks the Queen's diamond jubilee, and we would like to help | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
celebrate this event. 60 years ago, the former Princess Elizabeth | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
became Queen. These are the first pictures of her returning to the | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
country in 1952 after learning of her father's debt. We would like | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
your memories of that moment, and let us know if you have met the | :23:53. | :24:02. | |
Queen. Here are how you can get in touch. -- here are the details of | :24:02. | :24:11. | |
Eight former soldier from Lincoln has joined a group of injured | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
servicemen who are training to climb Mount Everest to raise money | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
for charity. Right form and Chris Gwilt lost his hearing during be | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
grenade attack. -- Write For man Chris quilt. He travelled to the | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
North Pole last year with Prince Harry. They hope to raise �2 | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
million. The Lake District made from the | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
backdrop for the latest training exercise, but soon, these soldiers | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
will be climbing up something a little bigger, Mount Everest. Among | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
them is Chris Gwilt from Lincoln. Eight grenade struck the wall | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
behind me. I lost hearing in both ears. I have an implant and a | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
hearing aid. Tackling the world's highest mountain will mean testing | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
them south to the limit. Like the other soldiers he is climbing with, | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
Chris's condition will bring extra challenges. My hearing aid and | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
implants are not waterproof. They can be damaged with prolonged | :25:18. | :25:25. | |
exposure to water, so I have to be careful about that. I was involved | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
in a petrol bomb incident which left me with their it is 7% burns. | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
I have to be careful about frostbite. For me, it is a balance | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
issue. My arm is a dead weight. This is not the first time injured | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
soldiers have embarked on such a challenge. Last year, a prince -- | :25:43. | :25:53. | |
:25:53. | :25:54. | ||
big group went to the North Pole, taking Prince Harry with them. | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
think it is good to help the charity and make people more aware | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
of disabled and injured people, especially soldiers in that state. | :26:06. | :26:14. | |
Personally, I think I will enjoy it. So far, they have climbed up the | :26:14. | :26:21. | |
world's aides highest mountain. They will head for Everest in March. | :26:21. | :26:27. | |
Let's have a recap of the headlines. Prince William flies into the | :26:27. | :26:31. | |

Tomorrow: A frosty start them a spells of sunshine. It will be | :26:41. | :26:48. | |
bitterly cold, as we head from Paul. Top temperatures around one or two | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
Celsius. Response coming in on the subject of fly-tipping. Chris says, | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
you have to ask why people engage in fly-tipping, it is to avoid | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
waste disposal costs, councils need to make it free and easy to dispose | :27:03. | :27:13. | |
:27:13. | :27:15. | ||
of all waste. Liz agrees, maybe if councils let people use recycling | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
resources for free, it would not be an issue. Somebody says, it is | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
disgusting that people use the countryside in this way. Paul says, | :27:25. | :27:30. |
