There are fears that the town centre of Scunthorpe will die after | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
a decision this afternoon which will allow a new out-of-town | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
development to be built. The development, which includes a | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
branch of Marks & Spencer, was given planning permission in | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
December, but following legal advice councillors were told to | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
reconsider. This afternoon, planners gave it the final go-ahead | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
and it'll mean 300 new jobs. But shopkeepers in the town centre now | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
fear the worst. Vicky Johnson has more. | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
Scunthorpe's High Street, like so many towns, has suffered blow after | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
blow, as major retailers have closed down. So the news that Marks | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
& Spencer wanted to return after a number oversteer absence has been | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
warmly welcomed by many. We are only five minutes from the town | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
centre, so it is easy to get to the town centre from there. We are not | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
against the town centre, we want to help it right, but far from being a | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
threat, at this new development is the only way of its survival. | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
the sting in the Marks & Spencer tale is that the retail giant will | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
only return if it can build a flagship store here, two miles out | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
of town. You are in a location where you are not making as much | :02:17. | :02:27. | |
money as she should, the face of There is a good economic argument | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
for what they are doing. But High Street shopkeepers who have already | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
seen a 40% drop in food fall say the move will be disastrous. | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
council appears to be changing with the wind of what it is going to do. | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
One minute, they will have this place built, that was 10 years ago, | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
build a new bus station, then a couple of years later, they will | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
decide they want people to invest out of 10, moving it away from | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
where they have just invested. Planning councillors, he just last | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
year at past new policies aimed at rejuvenating the town centre, | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
visited the site this morning. Hours later, they narrowly voted in | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
favour of the new development. really pleased, I wanted Marks & | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
Spencer to come back. I don't think they made the right decision. Which | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
is why we are very disappointed. think it will portrayed out of 10. | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
The bird is circle round about has been a bone of contention for a | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
number of years -- out of town, but Bartley circle. It could create up | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
to 300 new jobs and it is hoped the new development could be open by | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
the end of the year if a new legal challenge isn't launch. | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
Vicky is that the side, what was the atmosphere like at the meeting? | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
That at the site. It is usually controversial, so the | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
atmosphere was really tense, it was absolutely packed to the rafters in | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
the council chamber and the planning committee chairman had to | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
use his casting vote to get it through. The developers said that | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
this transformation of the garden centre in to a huge new retail park | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
was going to be a huge opportunity for the whole area. They said it | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
would predictably attract an extra �90 million per year to the area as | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
shoppers came back into the area from places like Gainsborough, | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
Doncaster and Meadow Hall. But those against it said it would be | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
catastrophic, not just for the retailers in the area, but also | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
people living locally. This is the bane Doncaster Road in and out of | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
the town, it is already congested at peak times -- main. They said it | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
could be worse. There is now talk of challenging it it legally, so it | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
may not be the end of the story. A little earlier, I spoke to the | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
Scunthorpe MP Nic Dakin and asked him whether this was good news for | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
Scunthorpe. What is certainly good news is that | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
Marks & Spencer and the developers want to invest in Scunthorpe, that | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
is very positive news. As you say, it leaves the question as to | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
whether it is the ideal location for such a development. There are | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
many people who think it would be better placed within the town | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
centre. What do you think? Good news or not? It is good news that | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
Marks & Spencer want to invest in the town, it is good news that that | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
the developers want to invest in the town but it would be better if | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
it was happening in the town centre. But these are commercial decisions | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
and careful consideration has been taken place by the planning | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
committee, which I understand has been voted by the casting vote of | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
the chair to go ahead with the development. Do you think the town | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
centre of Scunthorpe will just to die? This is a planning decision, | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
and there has not been... I know that, I am asking you... It is the | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
job of the people in the can. The retailers in the town centre will | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
be determined to continue to make the town centre work. They, quite | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
properly, have said it makes it a very challenging environment if | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
this planning decision goes ahead of in the end with this development | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
taking place on such a scale, down by Glanford Park. Marks & Spencer | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
said they would not consider another site. They have had the | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
planners over a barrel, they have held all the power. Developers will | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
always say they will not go anywhere else, that is the way they | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
do business. In reality, Marks & Spencer left Scunthorpe over a year | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
ago and they said it wasn't an appropriate business then and they | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
now want to come back into the area. There a change in circumstances and | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
there will be changing decisions in commercial interests, but this is a | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
situation we find ourselves in today and it is positive news that | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
Marks & Spencer want to come back to Scunthorpe. It would be better | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
if it was in the town centre but we bossy what happens as things before | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
would. If he were not an MP and you ran a shop in the centre of | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
Scunthorpe, would you be a worried man? -- if you were not. Certainly | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
shopkeepers and the town centre have made very clear, they have run | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
a brilliant campaign and I suspect they will continue to campaign. | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
They have made it very clear that they see this as a negative | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
development but they are determined entrepreneurs and they will look to | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
continue their business in Scunthorpe into the future. Good to | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
talk to, thank you very much. We would like to know what you | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
think about this one. Will town centres like Scunthorpe die as more | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
and more out-of-town developments and more out-of-town developments | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
appear? Or do you welcome the investment and the jobs and the | :07:43. | :07:53. | |
:07:53. | :07:57. | ||
We look forward to hearing it from here, we will have some before we | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
finish. In a moment: | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
The night-time operation to remove the huge sperm whale from Skegness | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
beach. As you've been hearing in the | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
national news, six soldiers have been killed in the single worst | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
enemy attack on UK troops in Afghanistan since operations began | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
11 years ago. Five of those killed were from the Yorkshire Regiment. | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
They died while on patrol in Kandahar province on Tuesday. | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
Tragic events such as these serve as a reminder of the dangers our | :08:26. | :08:34. | |
armed forces face. Kevin Shoesmith is a reporter with the the Hull | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
Daily Mail and he's just returned from spending a fortnight with the | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
Yorkshire Regiment in Afghanistan. He is with us in the studio. Kevin, | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
good evening. You spent some time in Helmand province, what is life | :08:46. | :08:53. | |
like that? Long period of inactivity, followed by sudden | :08:53. | :09:02. | |
bursts of activity. Conditions out there are very basic. The security | :09:02. | :09:12. | |
situation does seem to be improving slightly. I was last there in 2000 | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
and during Operation Panther's Claw, there has seemed to have been | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
slight progress. What did the troops think of some of the | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
primitive devices, these dangers in century devices? Do they feel as if | :09:22. | :09:30. | |
they are fighting fair? -- incendiary. They do not. They | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
believe that it is a tenacious and skilled NME. These are not guys who | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
won not well-trained, these are insurgency of a spelt years and | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
years fighting that these are sergeants that have spent years and | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
years fighting --. They know the rules of engagement, they know that | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
soldiers do not follow routines and they exploit that, particularly | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
through the use of improvised explosive devices. What goes | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
through your mind when you hear news like today? The first thing is | :10:05. | :10:12. | |
obviously the family back home here in Yorkshire. We don't yet know | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
where the soldiers were from, possibly even East Yorkshire, of we | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
need that information to come out. -- we need. Then obviously, the | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
thought turnout -- 10-the soldiers themselves. -- thoughts turn to the | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
soldiers themselves. I have just returned from Afghanistan and I am | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
wondering whether I knew any of the soldiers, whether I saw any of them | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
out there. What will they be feeling out there tonight? It is a | :10:43. | :10:50. | |
difficult one. It is hard for civilians to fully appreciate. The | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
first thing that the soldiers will be doing is having a talk, the | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
commanders, it will be a time for strong leadership. They will have | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
to rally the guys, but also get them back out on patrol again very | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
quickly. Good to see you, Kevin, thank you for coming in. We will | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
continue to follow that story. Lincolnshire Fire & Rescue's | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
control centre is to be linked to centres in three other areas - | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
Humberside, Hertfordshire and Norfolk. Each area will continue to | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
answer their own 999 calls, but staff in any one of them would be | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
able to handle calls from across all four areas. The government has | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
allocated more than �7 million for the plan. | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
Significant progress has been made to improve patient care at the | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
Pilgrim Hospital in Boston over the past 12 months, according to a new | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
report from the Care Quality Commission. The report highlights | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
improvements to nutrition and hydration as well as extra training | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
that's been put in place for staff. Last year, the watchdog raised a | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
number of concerns. United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
says it's pleased by the findings and it's continuing to work to hard | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
to provide high standards for patients. | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
The 30-tonne body of a sperm whale has finally been taken away from | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
Skegness beach. Contractors removed the whale in an operation which got | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
underway in the early hours of this morning. The body has now been | :12:13. | :12:22. | |
taken to a specialist waste 3am and in the distance light | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
approach, ready to tackle a huge problem on the beach. It began as a | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
race against the tide. We went to get past the end of the | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
peer before the tide comes in. Once we are past their tis not quite so | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
serious. We would sit chain of the whale up and push it with a | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
bulldozer. We went to get it up there with as much dignity as | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
possible. The carcass of the spear it -- the | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
sperm whale beached on Saturday. 0 in now was the paperwork in place | :12:59. | :13:08. | |
and the time right to move it. -- only gnarl.. | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
We wanted to do it when there was as least people here as possible | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
really because it is not a happy occasion. | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
Now comes the real test. They have to get 30 tons Of Whale on the low- | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
loader that waits over there. Thief it was near it and come has put in | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
place. At half-past five it was time For a | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
carefully co-ordinated Minoo there between machine and mammal on to | :13:35. | :13:42. | |
the trailer. Even at this early hour people turned out to watch. | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
I was down to the peer and looked at it being uncovered and stride | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
onto the beach. It is amazing. Really bake. | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
It is only a baby one, I am led to believe. Good job it was not full | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
size. This once graceful giants will now | :13:59. | :14:06. | |
be taken to a landfill site. Thank you for watching this | :14:06. | :14:09. | |

You are telling me! It will be dry with some sunshine every next 24 | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
hours. A lot of dry weather coming up through the weekend and much of | :15:19. | :15:28. | |
next week. That is bad news for drought-stricken Lincolnshire. This | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
high-pressure will push back across as over the next few days. After | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
that wet morning it has been a pleasant afternoon with some | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
sunshine. Still a risk of an isolated shower coming through but | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
basically it is a dry night for most of us with just a pleasing | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
shower in the far west of Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire. | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
You have shelter from a strong wind further south and it could get cool | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
enough for a ground frost around Gainsborough. Thief the sun will | :16:03. | :16:12. | |

the high-tide times. So not a bad day to come. It will be hazy | :16:19. | :16:27. | |
sunshine at times tomorrow but generally very dry. It remains | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
bright. There will be further spells the sunshine and | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
temperatures will be close to normal, around about nine Celsius | :16:34. | :16:44. | |

Farmers in the Lincolnshire could see a big increase in demand when a | :17:16. | :17:22. | |
new buyer plants his belt. Be firmer building yet it says it will | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
protests more than a million tonnes of grain every year. | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
It is one of the largest plants of its type in the UK. In a few months | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
wheat will come in here, be ground down and brewed into alcohol. It | :17:35. | :17:42. | |
will then go here to be purified into 100% bioethanol to run a car's. | :17:42. | :17:49. | |
The stuff left over will come here and be turned into animal feed. | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
We employ 70 or 80 people ourselves and be on that support around 1000 | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
jobs. I think for local farmers it is about being there continuously | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
for them so that they know they have a market place for the | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
products they are producing. This may sound like feel for the | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
future but some of the fuel we use that the future is made from | :18:13. | :18:20. | |
bioethanol. That needs to rise from 5% to 10% by 2020. Firms like | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
Vivergo will be vital in ensuring that supply. | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
Local farmers will be among the main ones to benefit because most | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
of the wheat needed by the site will be grown within a 50 mile | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
radius. Beefeater made there as by product can also be used to feed | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
local cows. The East Riding of Yorkshire | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
produces wheat really well. To have a producer on our doorstep to deal | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
with this amount of wheat is good news for farmers. | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
The weeks may be grown locally but has for some of it poses an ethical | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
issue of growing crops for a fuel rather than food. | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
If you use foods to fuel cars, you are taking food out of the mouths | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
of people. I understand this refinery will use 1 million tonnes | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
of wheat. If you turn that wheat into food, that would be enough to | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
feed everyone in Kenya for one month. | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
The owners say they are balancing the issue by making both food and | :19:24. | :19:32. | |
feet -- fuel and feet. This area and civvy -- this plant adds to the | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
area's renewable fuels. Widening need feels like this? | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
This is all about breaking our reliance on fossil fuels. Oil is | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
very expensive and a reliance on it means we are dependent on surprise | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
from a board for -- from abroad. By a fuel fans say that the more fury | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
make at home, the more we can break away and secure half your security. | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
It cuts down the amount of carbon dioxide being produced by engines. | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
For example, Vivergo say that it is the equivalent of taking 200,000 | :20:11. | :20:17. | |
cars off the road. Sandhu disputes the claims that those by a fuels | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
are greener and many feel that with so many people starving in the | :20:23. | :20:33. | |
:20:33. | :20:37. | ||
world, is it right to grow fuel rather than food? | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
Disabled bike riders from East Yorkshire have been showing off | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
their cycling skills in support of Sport Relief. People who attend the | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
Parishes and Orchard day care centres regularly use the | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
specially-adapted bikes in Hull's East Park. And today they stepped | :20:48. | :20:56. | |
it up a gear to race a mile. I find it really inspirational and | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
it put things into context. And if you're taking part in the | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
Sport Relief Mile we'd like to hear what you're doing. Email us at | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
[email protected]. Onto football and Hull City are now | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
unbeaten in eight games. The 0-0 draw with Yorkshire rivals Leeds | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
United means that they remain ninth in the Championship table. Leanne | :21:12. | :21:20. | |
Brown has more details of that and the rest of last nights football. | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
Unbeaten once again but Hull city have also not want for several | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
games and their outside the play- off places in the championship. | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
They fail to make the pressure tell in the first half. They were denied | :21:35. | :21:41. | |
by good saves from the Leeds United goalkeeper. Off the field, the | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
manager was being his usual less than a calm self- as city pushed | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
forward but they could not make the breakthrough. The second half was | :21:50. | :21:57. | |
more even with Hull city reverting to long-range shots. The manager | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
regretted lost opportunities. I thought we were the better team. | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
I thought some of the football we played in the first half was great | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
and Roche. A couple of good saves kept Leeds in it tonight so I am | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
disappointed we did not get three points. | :22:13. | :22:20. | |
Meanwhile, scum part unite it got a second successive win in League One. | :22:20. | :22:28. | |
Benn now four points clear at the drop zone after winning 2-1 at all | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
done. You'd expect to see plenty of | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
scales at an aquarium but the ones on show at the Deep in Hull today | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
have been of the musical kind. Performers from Hull's Philharmonic | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
Orchestra have been practising a brand new piece of music, specially | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
written to celebrate ten years of the aquarium. Anne-Marie Tasker has | :22:42. | :22:49. | |
been to listen. Practice was going swimmingly today | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
- as two members of Hull's Philharmonic Orchestra rehearsed | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
part of "Sounding The Deep". Their audience - the ocean residents that | :22:56. | :23:06. | |
helped inspire it. We are standing here today in this | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
building, the deep, playing a piece called sounds in the deep. We are | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
using a lot of instruments that are buried deep in pitch. | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
The new composition's been written to celebrate 10 years of this | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
aquarium, the Deep. And it's certainly given the musicians | :23:22. | :23:30. | |
something to get their teeth into. It is different to anything we have | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
ever done be far. It is one of the most complicated face scars I have | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
seen for some time. I am in far a challenge in night but it should be | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
fun. And some will be making waves by | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
swapping traditional instruments for computers. Laptops playing | :23:50. | :23:57. | |
cells from under the seas will help to liven up this building. | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
The deep is a wonderful, iconic building. It is a great piece of | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
architecture. Thought 170 musicians and dancers from | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire will perform this | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
piece, and other shorter compositions, at Hull City Hall | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
next saturday. That time, it'll be in front of scores of people, | :24:13. | :24:23. | |
:24:23. | :24:28. | ||
rather than shoals of fish. Do send us an e-mail if you have a story | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
you think we should report. Let's get a recap of the national | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
and regional headlines. Six soldiers have been killed in | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
Afghanistan - five are from the Yorkshire regiment. It brings the | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
death toll of British soldiers since the war began to more than | :24:40. | :24:41. | |
four hundred. There are fears that Scunthorpe | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
town centre will die after a decision to allow a new out-of-town | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
shopping development. Tomorrow: Dry with sunny spells, | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
although skies will tend to cloud over later. Maximum temperature 9C | :24:50. | :25:00. | |
:25:00. | :25:03. | ||
(48F). Fresh Southwest wind. A big response coming in on the | :25:03. | :25:10. | |
subject of the out-of-town shop plan from Scunthorpe. Lucy said, at | :25:10. | :25:17. | |
"I think it is great news. These new developments are perfect." | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
another correspondent said that people in Scunthorpe should be | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
pleased that this will create extra jobs for the town. Anna has text | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
did and she said that in Grimsby there are two big retail parks away | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
from the town centre but it has not had an adverse effect on the town | :25:34. | :25:41. | |
centre itself. I'm sure you'll have used on those texts. The planners | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
do not have a clue, is what someone said. Martin has e-mail to say that | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
he welcomes the development but why build a new out-of-town shopping | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
area when the steelworks is in decline? When that goes, Scunthorpe | :25:55. | :26:01. |
