:00:07. > :00:09.Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight

:00:09. > :00:17.A deal is struck for Lincolnshire's first privately built and run

:00:17. > :00:20.police station. There will be some job losses as a

:00:20. > :00:23.result of this contract, that is inevitable.

:00:23. > :00:25.A burial mix up - now there's official confirmation of the

:00:25. > :00:27.identity of the body in Christopher Alder's grave.

:00:27. > :00:31.The councillor punished for insults on Twitter claims his official

:00:31. > :00:35.letters are now being censored. A vision for Lincolnshire's markets

:00:35. > :00:38.- hopes they'll become the home for new business.

:00:38. > :00:48.And to lead or not to lead? The debate over dogs running free in

:00:48. > :00:58.our parks. Spring temperatures end-February

:00:58. > :01:06.across much of our region tomorrow, It's been described as a

:01:06. > :01:08.revolutionary deal that will transform policing in Lincolnshire.

:01:08. > :01:14.A �200 million contract has been signed between Lincolnshire Police

:01:14. > :01:17.and the world's biggest security company - G4S. Hundreds of back-

:01:17. > :01:22.office staff will transfer to G4S, and the company will build and run

:01:22. > :01:25.a massive new police station. While chief officers say millions of

:01:26. > :01:35.pounds will be saved, unions fear immediate job losses. Phil Connell

:01:35. > :01:40.It has been described as the most radical change in policing for more

:01:40. > :01:44.than a century. It is police stations here in Lincolnshire that

:01:44. > :01:48.will see the first changes. The deal signed today will see the

:01:48. > :01:53.private security firm G4S work in partnership with Lincolnshire

:01:53. > :01:58.police. As part of a deal, they will build a privately run custody

:01:58. > :02:02.suite and police station in Lincoln. They will also take charge of 540

:02:02. > :02:07.of the force's civilian workers. There are no guarantees of job

:02:07. > :02:17.security, though. Unfortunately there will be job losses as a

:02:17. > :02:19.

:02:19. > :02:23.result of this contract, that is inevitable.

:02:24. > :02:29.They move will see changes for the force's so-called backroom staff,

:02:29. > :02:33.people like Pat Clifford, who works on reception at headquarters.

:02:33. > :02:37.Here in the control room, though, it is these backroom workers on

:02:37. > :02:41.whom frontline policing often relies. Tonight there are concerns

:02:41. > :02:45.that by privatising these jobs standards across Lincolnshire could

:02:45. > :02:49.begin to fall. I think the biggest concern is that both parties have

:02:49. > :02:54.not done their homework and it will be an almighty upheaval to start

:02:54. > :02:58.with. We have been promised a soft landing - let's hope that happens.

:02:58. > :03:02.I did like to think of it as evolutionary rather than

:03:02. > :03:07.revolutionary, but it is revolutionary too many people.

:03:07. > :03:10.can you guarantee that standards will be maintained? G4S can do the

:03:10. > :03:17.job for us, they can do it differently from the way we have

:03:17. > :03:23.done it, more cheaply, what choice is there? G4S will be paid 200

:03:24. > :03:29.million for a service that presently costs 228 million. The

:03:29. > :03:34.changes in savings should not be noticed by the public, do it says.

:03:34. > :03:37.It would concern me, it would be the thin end of the wedge. If that

:03:37. > :03:42.is backroom jobs, I would have thought it would be a good idea.

:03:42. > :03:46.The privatisation of these services will take two years to implement. A

:03:46. > :03:52.dangerous experiment, or an essential modernisation? Other

:03:52. > :03:55.forces will be watching closely. The contract signed today between

:03:55. > :03:59.Lincolnshire police and G4S is the biggest for any British police

:03:59. > :04:02.force. The contract signed today between Lincolnshire Police and G4S

:04:02. > :04:06.is the biggest for any British police force. The contract is also

:04:06. > :04:08.the first of its kind to privatise such a large range of police work.

:04:08. > :04:10.Anne-Marie Tasker looks at the record of the world's biggest

:04:10. > :04:13.security firm. Who are? -- who are G4S? The

:04:13. > :04:19.Who are? -- who are G4S? The company is the largest employer

:04:19. > :04:24.listed on the London Stock Exchange, with more than 600,000 employees

:04:24. > :04:31.working at 125 different locations. In 2010, its turnover was more than

:04:31. > :04:36.�7 billion, and operating profit was more than 400 million. G4S,

:04:36. > :04:41.previously known as Group 4 was not without problems previously working

:04:41. > :04:47.within the justice system. In 1993, a prisoner died while being

:04:47. > :04:50.transported to a remand prison near Hull. In 1997 the company was

:04:50. > :04:55.criticised for transferring prisoners between vans at a petrol

:04:55. > :05:01.station. In 2001, a prisoner escaped after an accident involving

:05:01. > :05:06.a security van, one of a list of escapes after it took

:05:06. > :05:10.responsibility for prisoner escorts. But G4S is not the only company to

:05:10. > :05:16.take over custody services. Reliance also has more than 4020

:05:16. > :05:19.custody officers. The think-tank, policy exchange, says the

:05:20. > :05:22.Lincolnshire deal is the most Lincolnshire deal is the most

:05:22. > :05:26.ambitious yet by far. The benefit to Lincolnshire is that

:05:26. > :05:30.there is a saving up front which they can plug into their budgets. I

:05:30. > :05:35.think it will be interesting to see over the next ten years how this

:05:35. > :05:39.plays out. I think the jury is still out on whether it will be a

:05:39. > :05:43.success, and I think a lot of chief constables will be looking on to

:05:44. > :05:47.see how well company might perform. If around 10 other police forces

:05:47. > :05:50.are said to be interested in following Lincolnshire's lead, so

:05:50. > :05:54.this could be the first of many deals.

:05:54. > :05:59.Earlier I spoke to the Government's policing minister, Nick Herbert,

:05:59. > :06:03.and I asked him if the deal was the future of policing.

:06:03. > :06:10.This will save the police forced �28 million, which will help

:06:10. > :06:15.protect police officer numbers, which will mean 90 % -- 97 % of

:06:15. > :06:18.police officers will be on the front line, it will deliver a new

:06:18. > :06:24.police station and deliver the backroom functions more efficiently.

:06:24. > :06:29.What is not to like about this? will also deliver job losses, G4S

:06:29. > :06:33.warned of job losses in the move over, that is part of the deal.

:06:33. > :06:37.what matters is that we have the best possible policing in

:06:37. > :06:41.Lincolnshire, that we are protecting frontline policing

:06:41. > :06:44.services, and I think the public are not concerned about the

:06:44. > :06:49.backroom functions, they want them to be done as efficiently as

:06:49. > :06:54.possible, and they want to make sure that police officers are used

:06:54. > :06:57.for a frontline roles. That is what this will enable. Those people who

:06:57. > :07:03.work in the backroom would be very concerned. Lincolnshire police have

:07:03. > :07:06.gone down this route to save money. The chief constable has repeatedly

:07:06. > :07:11.asked the Government for more resources. Have you not forced him

:07:11. > :07:16.into this? Every chief constable of course once more resources, but we

:07:16. > :07:20.have good deal with the deficit and save money. Every force is in that

:07:20. > :07:24.position. This is an innovative policy that will protect at the

:07:24. > :07:28.front line, police officers will be used for the job I think the public

:07:28. > :07:33.want them to be used and, out there on the front line. Above all, I

:07:33. > :07:36.think it will produce a better service with innovation which will

:07:36. > :07:42.enable the police force to fight crime. I think it is an important

:07:42. > :07:48.step forward. Final question Das if you work for Lincolnshire Police is

:07:48. > :07:53.today a good day to celebrate, or what? I think it is a good

:07:53. > :07:57.announcement for the people in Lincolnshire. It is about mine --

:07:57. > :08:01.maximising the use of police officers to be kept on the front

:08:01. > :08:05.line, making the back office functions efficient, delivering a

:08:05. > :08:13.new police station a �28 million of savings that will protect police

:08:13. > :08:19.officer numbers. Thank you very much in the aid.

:08:19. > :08:23.-- indeed. We would like your thoughts on the story.

:08:23. > :08:27.If it is claimed, as in Lancashire, billions of pounds could be saved

:08:27. > :08:37.and frontline policing maintained. and frontline policing maintained.

:08:37. > :08:44.

:08:44. > :08:49.If you want to get in touch with us, The first tweet of the evening is

:08:49. > :08:55.in from the Chief Constable of Lincolnshire police. He says, the

:08:55. > :09:00.alternative was more jobs lost, less to invest in improving the

:09:00. > :09:03.service. We look forward to hearing from you.

:09:03. > :09:05.In a moment All for a good cause - Hull's

:09:05. > :09:08.wheelchair basketball team show their support for sport relief.

:09:08. > :09:13.In the last hour, police have confirmed the body exhumed from a

:09:13. > :09:18.grave in Hull last night is that of Grace Kamara. It had been in the

:09:18. > :09:21.city's Northern Cemetery for more than a decade. Mrs Kamara, who was

:09:21. > :09:27.77, had been buried by mistake in place of Christopher Alder, a 37-

:09:27. > :09:30.year-old former paratrooper from Hull who died in police custody.

:09:30. > :09:35.His body was found in a mortuary last November, prompting a major

:09:35. > :09:43.police investigation and an outcry from his family. Vicky Johnson's

:09:43. > :09:49.report contains flash photography from the start.

:09:49. > :09:52.It was just before 6am this morning when a Hirst left the cemetery.

:09:52. > :09:56.Flowers and a new coffin were arranged by the council to ensure

:09:56. > :10:01.the body thought to be Grace Kamara's was transported with

:10:01. > :10:06.dignity and respect. The exhibition over, dental records were the key

:10:06. > :10:09.to confirming the identity of the remains. It is a recognised

:10:09. > :10:14.international standard of identification we will be using in

:10:14. > :10:18.this case. At five the TPN, the police confirmed Grace Kamara had

:10:18. > :10:24.been buried by mistake in the grave of Christopher Alder. The 37-year-

:10:24. > :10:32.old former paratrooper died in police custody in 1998, and his

:10:32. > :10:36.funeral was held two years later. The next up was only discovered

:10:36. > :10:39.last November, when Grace Kamara's family and friends carried --

:10:40. > :10:48.gathered for her funeral and a body could not be found. The mistake has

:10:48. > :10:52.proved devastating for the family. It has come hard to resolve.

:10:52. > :11:01.We thought we had done what we could for her, and what has

:11:01. > :11:06.happened, she is not with her uncle. We last night, or La's ashes were

:11:06. > :11:10.put on Christopher's grave in a private ceremony. His body was

:11:10. > :11:14.finally laid to rest two weeks ago. The tent over the grave will remain

:11:14. > :11:19.in place until it is confirmed whether the remains of Grace Kamara

:11:19. > :11:24.can be returned to what has been her final resting place of the last

:11:24. > :11:28.12 years. Plans for two large power stations

:11:28. > :11:32.in Yorkshire powered by straw and wood have been scrapped. Drax Power

:11:32. > :11:36.station wanted to build new plants at Selby and possibly near Hull. A

:11:36. > :11:40.third site at Immingham is still being discussed. Drax has blamed

:11:40. > :11:50.low government subsidies. You can get more detail on this story in

:11:50. > :11:51.

:11:51. > :11:53.Workers at four fashion shops in Hull and Scunthorpe are facing

:11:53. > :11:57.redundancy after high-street chain Peacocks was only partially bought

:11:57. > :12:01.out of administration. A deal was struck today to save more than 300

:12:01. > :12:08.shops across the country. But the Scunthorpe store and three of the

:12:08. > :12:10.four Hull sites will now close. A Conservative politician, who

:12:10. > :12:18.became embroiled in a row over comments made on Twitter, claims

:12:18. > :12:23.he's being censored by council bosses. John Fareham was suspended

:12:23. > :12:25.by Hull City Council after he branded protesters as retards. In

:12:25. > :12:28.his first interview since the controversy, Councillor Fareham has

:12:28. > :12:34.told BBC Look North he believes his letters to constituents are being

:12:34. > :12:38.vetted by officials. The city council denies the accusations. Our

:12:38. > :12:43.Political Editor, Tim Iredale, has the story.

:12:43. > :12:45.John Fareham has returned to political duties after being

:12:45. > :12:51.suspended as a councillor following controversial comments he made on

:12:51. > :12:55.the Internet. Now he is fighting a new battle, claiming that his post

:12:55. > :13:00.is being vetted and censored by unelected officials at Hull City

:13:00. > :13:08.Council. There has always been that option,

:13:08. > :13:15.if someone finds a letter is being dodgy, they can ticket to a manager

:13:15. > :13:18.and say ETA slanderous or something. At have a problem with every single

:13:18. > :13:23.ETA being referred as a matter of course.

:13:23. > :13:27.Don Ferrand is a former lord Mayor of Hull. Tensions were running high

:13:27. > :13:31.last year as councillors said the last year as councillors said the

:13:31. > :13:35.annual budget. Later he wrote on Twitter of...

:13:35. > :13:37.We have a number of stewards to work with people with learning

:13:37. > :13:41.work with people with learning Dyfed but -- learning difficult

:13:41. > :13:43.days in the community and another of those were in the gallery that

:13:43. > :13:47.day. They do not expect to hear that

:13:47. > :13:51.type of language from a counsellor. Your critics may argue that because

:13:51. > :13:55.of the controversy you have caused you are fair game for scrutiny. How

:13:55. > :13:59.do you respond to that? I think some of my critics may say that. I

:13:59. > :14:03.can't talk about the actual issues I am untroubled for because the law

:14:03. > :14:07.does not allow me to until the appeal, although there is an

:14:07. > :14:13.argument about whether I was acting as a counsellor at that time or not.

:14:13. > :14:17.In a statement, Hull City Council denies accusations that members'

:14:17. > :14:22.letters are being vetted. It says there are strict rules to prevent

:14:22. > :14:25.resources being used for political purposes, added that it is down to

:14:25. > :14:30.the council's monitoring officer to ensure all rules are being adhered

:14:30. > :14:40.But John Fareham is sticking to his guns and insists other councillors,

:14:40. > :14:43.

:14:44. > :14:46.too, are monitored for being off- The time is 17 minutes to seven.

:14:46. > :14:49.Still ahead tonight: Making Lincolnshire's markets the home of

:14:49. > :14:59.start-up businesses. And the debate over dog leads - we ask whether

:14:59. > :15:04.

:15:05. > :15:07.Keep your pictures coming in. Tonight's was taken by Keith Batty.

:15:08. > :15:13.Keith Batty was amazed at the coastal erosion over the last year

:15:13. > :15:20.at Tunstall near Withernsea. Thank you very much for that picture.

:15:20. > :15:24.Another one tomorrow night. Is it going to be a heat wave in Skegness

:15:24. > :15:30.tomorrow? You can get those little white legs

:15:30. > :15:35.out! Let's have a look at the headline - I am fairly confident

:15:35. > :15:40.that we will see temperatures in the exceptionally mild category,

:15:41. > :15:47.and that means around 15 or 16 Celsius, but one or two spots,

:15:47. > :15:52.perhaps Skegness, could be up to 17. Considering we had a minus 16 at

:15:52. > :16:02.Holbeach on Saturday the 11th, that is a 33 Celsius different, which is

:16:02. > :16:05.

:16:05. > :16:10.The air is coming in a warm track from the south of the Azores. Some

:16:10. > :16:14.sunny breaks in the cloud are expected. There is a lot of cloud

:16:14. > :16:19.on the satellite picture right now, and it has produced some patchy

:16:19. > :16:25.rain at times. All parts should become dry apart from the odd spot

:16:25. > :16:35.of drizzle. It is certainly going to be a mild night, with the that

:16:35. > :16:41.

:16:41. > :16:50.sub-tropical air. The sun will rise in the morning, around about 7.04.

:16:50. > :16:55.A lot of cloud around through Thursday. There will be some sunny

:16:55. > :17:01.breaks, especially towards the coast of East Yorkshire. Eastern

:17:01. > :17:05.parts of Lincolnshire will get the best temperatures. The average for

:17:05. > :17:10.this time of year is around eight Celsius, so it is well up on the

:17:10. > :17:15.average, with good old Skegness seeing 17 Celsius just about

:17:15. > :17:25.possible. The Further Outlook, patchy rain on Friday, but the

:17:25. > :17:29.

:17:29. > :17:36.Having had a few idle minutes this afternoon, I went to an Wikipedia,

:17:36. > :17:39.and someone was asking if you still have a weather Centre built for you

:17:39. > :17:42.as a child. The Government has recently been

:17:42. > :17:46.discussing making it easier for anyone to set up a market stall,

:17:46. > :17:48.and even the idea of a national market day every week. Now, in East

:17:48. > :17:52.Lindsey it's hoped entrepreneurs can be persuaded that setting up a

:17:52. > :17:54.stall is a good way of starting a business. A new plan is being

:17:54. > :17:57.announced this evening designed to improve markets in Mablethorpe,

:17:57. > :18:00.Horncastle, Spilsby and Louth - from where Simon Spark reports.

:18:00. > :18:04.Despite the wet weather, market day in Louth stayed fairly busy this

:18:04. > :18:08.morning, but with plenty of spaces for traders to fill. But for people

:18:08. > :18:12.like Alan, who runs his stall as his main income, there was a sense

:18:12. > :18:15.of unease. He knows East Lindsey Council plan to make changes to the

:18:15. > :18:24.market, but he'll will have to wait until a meeting this evening before

:18:24. > :18:29.he finds out what those changes are. There is a lot of uncertainty,

:18:29. > :18:33.because this is our future. We are quite prepared to work with the

:18:33. > :18:37.council to make things better for the market and encourage people,

:18:37. > :18:41.but I personally myself feel that the council had decided what they

:18:41. > :18:49.are going to do, and it is going to be a case of this is what will

:18:49. > :18:51.happen, without any real consultation. New plans will affect

:18:51. > :18:54.all four markets in the East Lindsey area which include

:18:54. > :18:57.Horncastle, Louth, Mablethorpe and Spilsby. The council wants to make

:18:57. > :18:59.them more popular and give new traders the chance to start up

:18:59. > :19:07.businesses. But although some disagree with the way the council's

:19:07. > :19:11.handled this, they do think change is needed. I think what we have got

:19:11. > :19:17.to see is more traders and more people, more people coming shopping.

:19:17. > :19:21.It will be interesting to see if they have taken on the findings of

:19:21. > :19:24.the Mary Portas high-street report. The Portas review, completed in

:19:24. > :19:27.December, suggested it should be made easier for anyone to set up a

:19:27. > :19:32.market stall and even suggested a national market day. But there's no

:19:32. > :19:34.indication these council changes are linked. But the council insists

:19:34. > :19:42.these are positive steps, and hope it'll improve the experience for

:19:42. > :19:46.Leanne Brown is in Louth where the council has unveiled its new vision

:19:46. > :19:56.for the four markets in East Lindsey. Leanne, what are they

:19:56. > :19:56.

:19:56. > :20:01.planning? Well, they basically want to change the way the markets are

:20:01. > :20:05.run. At the moment, you can only have one are to traders selling the

:20:05. > :20:12.same thing, so if you wanted to come on and sell handbags, if that

:20:12. > :20:18.item is already on sale, you can't. So they mostly want to relax this

:20:18. > :20:22.rule to encourage more be able to set up distils -- stalls. They hope

:20:22. > :20:27.to encourage entrepreneurs who cannot afford to set up a shop like

:20:27. > :20:31.the one behind me. They also want to change the way the stalls look

:20:31. > :20:33.so they have a more uniform feel, and they want to put some money and

:20:33. > :20:37.investment into advertising the market, and try different things

:20:37. > :20:42.like bringing in live street entertainment as well. Leanne,

:20:42. > :20:45.thank you. Back to our story last night about men not hugging their

:20:45. > :20:49.sons. The debate started when Lord Prescott said he regretted that he

:20:49. > :20:54.had never been able to hug his boys. Tat in Boston says "I have never

:20:54. > :21:04.been hugged by my parents. I can't wait to have kids so I can give

:21:04. > :21:15.

:21:29. > :21:32.A dress rehearsal for the Olympic Torch Relay will pass through a

:21:32. > :21:34.Lincolnshire town. The trial run will arrive in Stamford in April.

:21:34. > :21:37.It'll allow organisers to check everything is ready for the

:21:37. > :21:40.official relay in June. Sport Relief is just a month away,

:21:40. > :21:43.and organisers say East Yorkshire is proving a popular place to take

:21:43. > :21:45.part in the Sport Relief Mile. One team already hard in training are

:21:45. > :21:48.the Hull Stingers wheelchair basketball team. Here's Linsey

:21:48. > :21:50.Smith. What's in a race? Well, for Hull's

:21:50. > :21:55.wheelchair basketball team, the Stingers, it's a chance to put

:21:55. > :21:57.something back. By crossing the line on 25th March for Sport Relief,

:21:57. > :22:07.they'll be earning much-needed funds for vulnerable people around

:22:07. > :22:08.

:22:08. > :22:12.the UK. And the world. The money raised goes up to a lot of

:22:12. > :22:18.charities, which is brilliant. I have been involved in this for many

:22:18. > :22:23.years now, and it has changed my life. The Sport Relief will do

:22:23. > :22:25.brilliant things as far as raising funds. Five years on and the

:22:25. > :22:28.Stingers have gone from strength to strength. But spokes, sparks and

:22:28. > :22:31.basketballs cost money, and the team knows the difference Sport

:22:31. > :22:34.Relief can make. So come the Sport Relief mile, they'll be showing off

:22:34. > :22:41.their tricks to the rest of the runners, when the competition won't

:22:41. > :22:46.be about shooting hoops, but The Sport Relief Mile takes place

:22:46. > :22:56.on Sunday 25th March. If you want to take part, go to

:22:56. > :22:59.Scunthorpe United are back in the League One relegation zone. They

:22:59. > :23:06.lost to Walsall last night when they went down 1-0 after this goal

:23:06. > :23:15.Hull City bid to climb back into the play-off places when they meet

:23:15. > :23:24.Brighton tonight. You'll be able to hear the match live on BBC Radio

:23:24. > :23:28.Humberside as usual. Now, here's a question. Should dog owners be able

:23:28. > :23:30.to let their pets off the lead so they can run freely through public

:23:30. > :23:33.spaces? After complaints from some people, East Park in Hull is

:23:33. > :23:36.considering banning loose dogs, and one expert told us dogs should

:23:36. > :23:39.definitely be on a lead. Crispin Rolfe has the story.

:23:39. > :23:42.Born free, but should they be allowed to run free? Kay and

:23:42. > :23:46.Linda's dogs are well behaved, and come to Hull's East Park for a

:23:46. > :23:49.daily dose of fun. Sometimes off the lead, and sometimes on it, like

:23:49. > :23:52.when they come to the park's cafe for a sausage. But with complaints

:23:52. > :24:01.about loose dogs growing, the council's considering a park ban of

:24:01. > :24:06.leashless animals. It is the irresponsible few spore into for

:24:06. > :24:10.the rest of the people. Dogs on leads? We don't wanted to come to

:24:10. > :24:14.that. It is time that the council took responsibility and targeted

:24:14. > :24:17.the people causing the problems it's not penalise the people that

:24:17. > :24:20.are responsible. At the cafe, Margot allows as many as 35 dogs in

:24:20. > :24:26.on a weekend - with their owners, of course. But she'd like to see

:24:26. > :24:29.more control outside in the park. Obviously if we get dogs coming in

:24:29. > :24:33.off Leeds, it can lead to them wandering into the kitchen, and

:24:34. > :24:36.that could be a big problem for Oras. I actually think it is a good

:24:37. > :24:41.idea, because they will chase something that runs and could

:24:41. > :24:44.easily get themselves into difficulty, so we do need to have

:24:44. > :24:47.everybody safe, including dogs on leads. Dogs, though, are already

:24:47. > :24:53.excluded from children's play areas and some of our summertime beaches.

:24:53. > :24:56.So the question is, is this going too far? If you look on the

:24:56. > :25:01.internet nowadays, everything should be unleashed - children,

:25:01. > :25:08.parents, politicians, even journalists. But our dogs having

:25:08. > :25:14.too many restrictions put upon them. A code of conduct here reads,

:25:14. > :25:18.wooden sticks can lead to serious injury. Choose a throw Toyah wisely.

:25:18. > :25:21.Like dogs, codes of conduct abound. But the problem is not every owner

:25:21. > :25:26.reads them. So although there are calls to legislate, dog owners

:25:26. > :25:30.would prefer the council to let sleeping dogs lie.

:25:30. > :25:33.Another one you might have a comment on. The text and e-mail

:25:33. > :25:35.addresses are there: Let's get a recap of the national and regional

:25:35. > :25:39.headlines, A Sunday Times journalist is among dozens of

:25:39. > :25:41.civilians killed and wounded in the Syrian city of Homs. A deal is
