:00:07. > :00:15.North. The headlines tonight. MPs vote against plans which could have
:00:15. > :00:20.secured massive investment on the banks of the Humber. You make your
:00:20. > :00:22.money back after 15 years and not five minutes. We do need good
:00:22. > :00:25.long-term commitment from the government. The holiday park
:00:25. > :00:28.homeowners fighting to avoid being evicted by their local council. How
:00:28. > :00:33.businesses across East Yorkshire are being told to get on board with the
:00:33. > :00:41.Tour de France. And as the sun comes out, so do the holidaymakers.
:00:41. > :00:45.Lincolnshire basks in the first signs of summer. Much more Clyde
:00:45. > :00:55.tomorrow but the fine weather will last for a few days. All of the

:00:57. > :01:03.gambling with hundreds of jobs in Hull after a decision which puts
:01:03. > :01:06.further doubt over investment in the Humber. MPs have been asked to sign
:01:06. > :01:09.up to a long-term commitment to renewable energy - a commitment
:01:09. > :01:19.which would secure jobs and businesses in the Humber's Green
:01:19. > :01:20.
:01:20. > :01:23.Port. But this afternoon they voted against the plan. One Hull MP says
:01:23. > :01:29.the money and the jobs may now go abroad. More from our Business
:01:29. > :01:38.Correspondent, Paul Murphy. It took less than 15 minutes for MPs to
:01:38. > :01:44.throw out the attempt to change the energy bill. 267... 290. Why does
:01:44. > :01:49.this matter? These are the plans for an offshore wind turbine factory in
:01:49. > :01:53.the hole and the one thing investors behind this want is certainty that
:01:53. > :02:00.the government will commit to renewable energy in the long term.
:02:00. > :02:05.Today, they did not get that. have billions of pounds of why that
:02:05. > :02:09.investment looking at this, you make the money back after 13 years and
:02:10. > :02:14.not five minutes so you need that good, solid commitment from
:02:14. > :02:21.government for carbon reduction because that is the strong
:02:21. > :02:26.argument. A seminar on green jobs, part of business week. The local
:02:26. > :02:32.colleges are gearing up for what it calls a new industrial revolution,
:02:32. > :02:35.but nothing is certain. These are big issues and I can understand the
:02:35. > :02:41.government has to make a decision that all of us have to live with for
:02:41. > :02:45.13 years and that could it have a huge impact. Renewable energy would
:02:46. > :02:52.be good for people like me, school leavers, going for apprenticeships,
:02:52. > :02:57.who can transfer from one industry to another. All of these skills I
:02:57. > :03:02.have learned, if renewable energy is required, I should have a good basis
:03:02. > :03:09.for moving on. But it has been claimed that today's vote could send
:03:09. > :03:12.green jobs abroad. Siemens is very clear and that is a problem because
:03:12. > :03:18.the government has not been consistent in their reproach.
:03:18. > :03:23.Siemens and other companies have been concerned they are not getting
:03:23. > :03:30.a clear message of commitment. those pinning hopes on green energy
:03:30. > :03:34.jobs, this will be a disappointing day. If the industry is to create
:03:34. > :03:37.large-scale opportunities on the Humber, investors will need more
:03:37. > :03:40.positive signals coming from Westminster. I asked the
:03:40. > :03:50.Conservative MP for Brigg and Goole, Andrew Percy, why he's against any
:03:50. > :03:52.
:03:52. > :03:54.commitment to end coal and gas energy by 2030. Because we do not
:03:54. > :04:00.know what decarbonisation targets would mean or if they are
:04:00. > :04:05.deliverable. And in any event, there will be a big expansion of green
:04:05. > :04:11.energy so it is unnecessary. have little belief in green and wind
:04:11. > :04:15.energy? Remember, thousands of people in the region work in the
:04:15. > :04:20.coal and gas industry and they will continue with that and I don't want
:04:20. > :04:23.them put out of work but the bill that is before Parliament sets out
:04:23. > :04:29.the subsidy system for the next few years and it is part of expanding
:04:29. > :04:34.green energy, not one or the other. This is your chance to show public
:04:34. > :04:38.commitment to securing jobs that this area needs. We will get the
:04:38. > :04:44.growth in green energy but I am not prepared to say to the people who
:04:44. > :04:48.put me in Parliament that at any cost and any prize on fuel bill, we
:04:48. > :04:52.should set an arbitrary target for 2030 and ends: Gas generation based
:04:52. > :04:58.on technology we don't know is available and we don't know the
:04:58. > :05:02.cost. This would give a chance to encourage Siemens and others to
:05:02. > :05:07.commit to the Humber region? money is there for the energy
:05:07. > :05:14.subsidies, this is about a fraudulent debate about whether we
:05:14. > :05:19.have green jobs. We will, but what this red herring of an amendment
:05:19. > :05:22.says if we set some arbitrary target that could peppered the area with
:05:22. > :05:28.wind farms, and is based on technology we don't know will work,
:05:28. > :05:32.and... Lord Haskins says it is only a small window of opportunity that
:05:32. > :05:37.the government has too proved its commitment to green energy and you
:05:37. > :05:44.are not doing that. I don't agree with him on this. You only have to
:05:44. > :05:49.listen to business leaders who say that the bill is welcomed anyway.
:05:49. > :05:55.ABP did not sign the recent letter demanding MPs vote for this so there
:05:55. > :06:03.will be an expansion and this is a red herring and most people want
:06:03. > :06:08.their fuel bills kept time. We'll Siemens come? It is there, with or
:06:08. > :06:11.without this and I hope they will. Very much so. Let us know what you
:06:11. > :06:14.think about this story. Would you like to see a more definite
:06:14. > :06:18.commitment from the Government to green energy or are they right to be
:06:18. > :06:28.cautious? Does the future lie in wind turbines or is there still a
:06:28. > :06:41.
:06:41. > :06:51.place for more traditional coal and the former soldiers being helped
:06:51. > :06:54.
:06:54. > :06:57.into a new career. People living at an East Yorkshire holiday park have
:06:57. > :07:00.begun telling a government planning inspector why they should be allowed
:07:00. > :07:03.to stay in their chalets all year round. About 70 owners at
:07:03. > :07:05.Lakeminster Park near Beverley have been told they'll be evicted because
:07:05. > :07:13.the site was only granted permission for holiday homes. Crispin Rolfe
:07:13. > :07:18.reports. Are they expensive static caravans or 78 permanent homes for
:07:18. > :07:21.more than 100 pensioners? That's the decision for a planning inspector at
:07:21. > :07:24.the end of a two-week inquiry into Lakeminster Park. People living at
:07:24. > :07:27.the Woodmansey site south of Beverley say they were sold
:07:27. > :07:37.properties to live in all year round rather than holiday homes in which
:07:37. > :07:40.
:07:40. > :07:43.they can't. All of our money has gone into this for retirement, which
:07:43. > :07:50.has blown up in our faces. But the council maintains they're living
:07:50. > :07:56.there illegally. We granted planning consent for the use of this site for
:07:56. > :08:01.holiday purposes and not for permanent residential occupation and
:08:01. > :08:06.clearly, to allow that to happen, it could set a very dangerous precedent
:08:06. > :08:10.for the many other sites that we have across east riding. It's a
:08:10. > :08:12.wrangle that's been going on for more than two years now and has seen
:08:12. > :08:16.in November 2011 Lakeminster Park Ltd apply for retrospective planning
:08:16. > :08:23.permission. An application rejected by the East Riding Council in May
:08:23. > :08:26.2012, issuing enforcement notices in September. Residents lodged an
:08:26. > :08:36.appeal against that in November and in December 2012 a public inquiry
:08:36. > :08:37.
:08:37. > :08:42.was granted. Millions of pounds worth of money rests upon the
:08:42. > :08:46.outcome of this enquiry. As well as upon a separate legal case being
:08:46. > :08:51.mounted against the developer of Lakeminster Park. Ultimately, it
:08:51. > :08:54.comes down to the decision of a planning inspector as to whether or
:08:54. > :08:57.not these pensioners have to move out of their homes for ever. That's
:08:57. > :09:00.what will happen if the council wins its argument to remove all the
:09:00. > :09:08.properties from this site. Though the High Court could still reverse a
:09:08. > :09:12.decision which is expected a month after this inquiry concludes. This
:09:12. > :09:15.is another story we'd like your views on. Should the people living
:09:15. > :09:25.at Lakeminster be allowed to stay or are the council right to apply the
:09:25. > :09:32.
:09:32. > :09:35.planning laws in this case? A 42-year-old man has been charged
:09:35. > :09:38.with causing death by dangerous driving of a cyclist from
:09:38. > :09:41.Lincolnshire. Timothy Osborn, who was 27, was found by his mother on a
:09:41. > :09:45.roadside in Spalding last September. It is thought he had been struck by
:09:45. > :09:48.a vehicle hours earlier. A man will appear in court later this month. A
:09:48. > :09:51.man has been jailed for life for the murder of a bricklayer from Snaith.
:09:51. > :09:53.Dale Partington's body was found outside a house in the town in
:09:54. > :09:57.December. He'd been stabbed. 38-year-old Leon Rushworth from
:09:57. > :10:01.Snaith was today found guilty of his murder and told he'd have to serve
:10:01. > :10:03.at least 20 years behind bars. Last year, James Story from Hull was
:10:04. > :10:13.medically discharged from the army and since then has struggled to find
:10:13. > :10:16.work. It's a familiar story for hundreds of other ex-forces
:10:16. > :10:20.personnel in our area. But thanks to a Yorkshire-based charity, James has
:10:20. > :10:25.been given the help he needs to start a new life after the army.
:10:25. > :10:29.Sarah Corker has been to meet him. When James Story joined the Army he

:10:48. > :10:55.Settling back in his home town proved difficult. I have been
:10:55. > :11:01.applying for every sector of work, from cleaning, manufacturing, and I

:12:06. > :12:11.For James, there was good news. He has been offered an internship at
:12:11. > :12:16.this IT company. It is hard coming back out of the services and the ink
:12:16. > :12:21.reemployed. It can be a long process and if we can give something back,

:13:20. > :13:26.this kind of allegation. Councillor Pain insists his Facebook account
:13:26. > :13:29.was hacked and denies making racist comments. UKIP won 16 seats in last

:17:18. > :17:22.world's biggest cycling race, as Emma Massey reports. It's the most
:17:22. > :17:27.famous cycle race in the world and the start of the tour de France, the
:17:27. > :17:31.Grande Pass, is coming to Yorkshire in 2014. The first stage on the
:17:31. > :17:36.fifth July will be from Leeds to Harrogate. The second stage will
:17:37. > :17:42.wind its way from York to Sheffield. But it won't be coming any closer to
:17:42. > :17:50.East Yorkshire than that. Many local businesses feel that's close enough
:17:50. > :17:55.for there to be benefits all round. As far as retail or producers are
:17:55. > :17:59.concerned, individuals and schools and communities, everybody can get
:17:59. > :18:05.involved, if they like. It is an opportunity that we should be
:18:05. > :18:07.grabbing. As far as bringing income to the area is concerned, it is
:18:07. > :18:10.important. This afternoon, Welcome to Yorkshire has been hosting an
:18:10. > :18:20.event in South Cave near Hull aimed at convincing other local businesses
:18:20. > :18:26.that they can reap the rewards of the race. The arts festival will be
:18:26. > :18:29.across Yorkshire, the business opportunities will be right across
:18:29. > :18:35.Yorkshire so he will invite businesses from all across the great
:18:35. > :18:39.county to get in touch to say they want to do more business in France,
:18:39. > :18:48.weather in the supply chain whatever capacity. If it all goes to plan,
:18:48. > :18:50.the race could bring in �100 million for Yorkshire's economy. But some
:18:50. > :18:55.businesses in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire have yet to be
:18:55. > :19:01.convinced about what it'll do for them. Work is not really that close.
:19:01. > :19:07.Will they come this way? Will be benefit? There is a big attraction
:19:07. > :19:11.in north Yorkshire, will we be able to draw people to east riding?
:19:11. > :19:17.this restauranteur remains sceptical. I will not see the
:19:17. > :19:21.benefit in the slightest, I think coming around this area, through
:19:21. > :19:24.Beverley and the Humber Bridge, I thought there was a good chance it
:19:24. > :19:30.would have come here as well and that would have brought people to
:19:31. > :19:33.use torture. -- East Yorkshire. Whether it comes past your street or
:19:33. > :19:37.not, the organisers say you'll remember the Tour De France coming
:19:37. > :19:45.to Yorkshire for the rest of your life. I'm joined by Gary Verity from
:19:45. > :19:48.Welcome to Yorkshire, who organised today's event. How can businesses in
:19:48. > :19:58.East Yorkshire be expected to buy into this when it is not coming to
:19:58. > :19:59.
:19:59. > :20:03.the county? It is straightforward, if you are in Yorkshire, it is a
:20:03. > :20:07.Yorkshire section and the average distance spectators travel is 135
:20:07. > :20:11.kilometres everyday so that includes Liverpool, the whole of the North of
:20:11. > :20:18.England. We expect people right across the North of England to watch
:20:18. > :20:25.the tour France so here, South Cave, it is 40 kilometres from where the
:20:25. > :20:28.nearest stage will pass by and when I went to one day in 2011, we were
:20:28. > :20:33.staying at a hotel base with one of the teams, 65 kilometres from the
:20:33. > :20:38.start. But you heard some of those people, some of the traders, there
:20:38. > :20:44.is a good deal of cynicism any structure and we're still feeling
:20:44. > :20:49.pretty sore that we missed out? people are, it is a mixed picture,
:20:49. > :20:53.let's be careful. We have had a lot of cycling clubs getting in touch
:20:53. > :20:57.from his daughter saying they think it is fantastic. Today's event was
:20:57. > :21:03.about inspiring businesses to understand what the two references,
:21:03. > :21:08.it is greater than just the route, the arts festival, the business
:21:08. > :21:13.opportunities, Pan Yorkshire, and all of those providers in that
:21:13. > :21:22.sector, they will host people. All of those opportunities apply to
:21:22. > :21:24.everybody. Very good to talk to you. Good luck. The Health Secretary,
:21:24. > :21:27.Jeremy Hunt, has ordered a review into plans to reorganise ambulance
:21:27. > :21:29.services in Lincolnshire. An independent team will now look at
:21:29. > :21:34.the way East Midlands Ambulance Service carried out its
:21:34. > :21:37.consultations. EMAS wants to close several ambulance stations across
:21:37. > :21:40.the county and create new hubs. But Lincolnshire's Health Scrutiny
:21:40. > :21:46.Committee has raised concerns about the plans and there are demands for
:21:46. > :21:52.Lincolnshire to have its own service. Again, being fined �3.5
:21:52. > :21:56.million for the third year, which is over �11 million in fines, which
:21:56. > :22:02.could have been invested in the service. At the end of the day, the
:22:02. > :22:12.goal has to be, can we have our own and billing service back? To provide
:22:12. > :22:16.
:22:17. > :22:20.a better service for the residents. Three years after it was due to
:22:20. > :22:23.open, a bridge in Hull will finally be brought into use later this
:22:23. > :22:25.month. It is shaped like a pinball flipper but that unique design has

:22:45. > :22:49.finally open this month. I drive my bike around here so I will be using
:22:49. > :22:53.it and there is a cafe in the middle. What about �7 million for a
:22:53. > :22:58.bridge? That does not sound excessive in today's money.
:22:58. > :23:05.bridge to nowhere. Not much on the other side, just the hotel. And it's
:23:05. > :23:10.a bit run down. The bridge was part of a regeneration plan for the East
:23:11. > :23:14.bank and it was meant to lead to apartments and cafes. The bridge
:23:14. > :23:18.went ahead because it was paid for with public money but those other
:23:18. > :23:28.ventures collapsed but the recession, leaving the land here

:23:55. > :23:58.
:23:58. > :24:01.more marketable. So the regeneration can continue - if a little late.
:24:01. > :24:11.Summer has finally arrived and across Lincolnshire, those who can
:24:11. > :24:21.have been having fun in the sun. The sunshine has brought out the
:24:21. > :24:27.
:24:27. > :24:34.visitors. Gemma Dawson spent the afternoon in the county. Summer has
:24:34. > :24:43.arrived. And those who can have been having fun in the sun. In Woodhall
:24:43. > :24:47.Spa, when the sun comes out people strip off and go for a dip. The pool
:24:47. > :24:51.was redone last year and since then we had a record year and this year
:24:51. > :24:54.we are on for the same again if the weather holds. And the did today. In
:24:54. > :25:02.the shade it reached 16 degrees today but the water here is nearer
:25:02. > :25:06.30. It's wonderful, this pool is lovely, warm. It is great to get
:25:06. > :25:10.outside and make the best of the weather. So nice having this
:25:10. > :25:14.facility on our doorstep. The pool is wonderful, so warm. She enjoyed
:25:14. > :25:18.it. Lovely. Lincoln's Brayford Pool looked like a Mediterranean marina
:25:18. > :25:27.this afternoon. Here, too, people were making the most of the
:25:27. > :25:31.sunshine. It has been so miserable and cold and overcast and we have if
:25:31. > :25:34.you days of sunshine and it makes you feel wonderful. It makes you
:25:34. > :25:40.feel better. And businesses here hope the warm weather continues
:25:40. > :25:45.because tourism is worth more than �1 billion to the county's economy.
:25:45. > :25:48.Businesses notice the differences and people want to enjoy the city
:25:48. > :25:53.centre and the attractions and when it is raining, people do more
:25:53. > :25:56.inside. When the sun comes out, this is when it works. It was cooler by
:25:56. > :25:59.the coast but in Skegness people were still making the most of the
:25:59. > :26:04.sunshine. And businesses here are thankful the sun has finally
:26:04. > :26:08.arrived. It is nice and we are trading or cable before, it was
:26:08. > :26:17.terrible. It has totally killed trade for everyone on the coastal
:26:17. > :26:24.area. So many here hope this warm weather continues. Fantastic
:26:24. > :26:27.pictures. We should be so proud. Let's get a recap of the national
