Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight.

:00:00.:00:08.

All prisoners on day release will wear tags after a number of

:00:08.:00:17.

walk—outs from North Sea Camp. The open stage is a very important stage

:00:17.:00:21.

of ensuring the book can be released Concerns about response times as a

:00:21.:00:24.

family waits half an hour, despite living two minutes from an ambulance

:00:24.:00:26.

station. Safely back into the community. We

:00:26.:00:33.

have an ambulance station two minutes away. There was an ambulance

:00:33.:00:37.

parked. I do not see why we didn't get an ambulance.

:00:37.:00:40.

The NHS steps in to save a swimming pool from closure.

:00:40.:00:42.

A warning about the dangers of one of the country's best—loved autumn

:00:42.:00:54.

sights. And I will be back with the full

:00:54.:00:57.

forecast for the weekend, and it is a wet one.

:00:57.:01:05.

The Government says it is so horrified by crimes committed by

:01:05.:01:09.

prisoners on day release from open jails, it's going to electronically

:01:10.:01:15.

tag them. In one of the latest cases, a prisoner from North Sea

:01:15.:01:18.

Camp near Boston is alleged to have carried

:01:18.:01:24.

a nearby village. The Ministry of Justice says tags will warn

:01:24.:01:25.

authorities if offenders travel outside restricted areas. Jessica

:01:25.:01:35.

Lane reports. Many of us might associate open

:01:35.:01:38.

prisons with high—profile, low—risk cases. Like Vicky Pryce, jailed for

:01:38.:01:45.

perverting the course of justice. Or Jeffrey Archer, jail for perjury.

:01:46.:01:51.

But what about Lee Cyrus? He absconded from an open prison last

:01:51.:01:56.

year, was caught after a mob and charged with more than a dozen

:01:56.:01:59.

offences. Last month, Alan Wilmot went on the run while serving life

:01:59.:02:05.

for robbery. He was later caught and arrested in connection with a

:02:05.:02:09.

serious sexual assault. What they both have in common is they were

:02:09.:02:14.

being held here, at North Sea Camp near Boston. The mother of a former

:02:14.:02:17.

inmate claims not only do some prisoners abscond, but her son heard

:02:18.:02:22.

dangerous criminals bragging about committing crimes while on day

:02:22.:02:26.

release. They should not be allowed to be let out into the community by

:02:26.:02:30.

themselves, without a prison officer with them. Because they have

:02:30.:02:38.

definitely not been rehabilitated. The Ministry of Justice says as a

:02:38.:02:43.

result of incidents, at three prisons, an investigation has

:02:43.:02:46.

begun. It wants to strengthen the release on temporary licence system.

:02:46.:02:50.

In a statement, the justice minister said...

:02:50.:03:05.

The nearby villages are just a couple of miles from North Sea Camp.

:03:05.:03:10.

Residents in both have told me they are not really concerned about their

:03:10.:03:14.

props —— their proximity, although others have said they are becoming

:03:14.:03:19.

increasingly worried about the thought of prisoners abscond. You

:03:19.:03:23.

always think, I am pleased I did not see them in my garden. Does it

:03:23.:03:27.

concern you? Sue—mac it does, of course. You do not know who you're

:03:27.:03:35.

going to see. You want to be able to feel safe. We do not think they

:03:35.:03:40.

should be on day release. The Ministry of Justice says the tagging

:03:40.:03:45.

technology should be available next summer, so every movement prisoners

:03:45.:03:49.

make well out of dozen can be monitored. That should reduce the

:03:49.:03:52.

risk of prisoners at scolding and breaking the law while on day

:03:52.:03:54.

release. Mark Day is from the Prison Reform

:03:54.:03:57.

Trust, which campaigns for prisoners' rights. I asked him if we

:03:57.:04:01.

should stop using open prisons for serious offenders. Well, open

:04:01.:04:12.

prisons pay a very important role in the prison estate, particularly for

:04:12.:04:15.

people sentenced to long sentences, coming towards the end of that

:04:15.:04:20.

sentence, in terms of preparing them for release into the community. It

:04:20.:04:25.

is a bit like coming out from a deep sea dive, where you have spent a

:04:25.:04:30.

long time in the system, and you need to come up for air, to

:04:30.:04:33.

reintegrate into the community and experience work, time on the

:04:33.:04:39.

outside, before you release. Some people would say these people are

:04:39.:04:42.

not ready for a day out, maybe not even ready for an open prison. The

:04:42.:04:47.

Chief Inspector is currently conducting a review into the

:04:47.:04:50.

circumstances that happened in a few open prisons. Any crime is of course

:04:50.:04:55.

a tragedy for the victim and it is right that person has brought to

:04:55.:04:59.

justice. The circumstances are thoroughly investigated. But on the

:04:59.:05:04.

whole, it does work well. We know that in the vast majority of cases,

:05:04.:05:09.

people released on temporary licence are released safely, and are safely

:05:09.:05:13.

supervised by the prison had by the people in the community who also

:05:13.:05:16.

have a responsibility for oversight of that person on release. What

:05:17.:05:23.

about the tagging? Is it more like a holiday camp? It is not much

:05:23.:05:26.

consolation who live in the nearby villages. A lot of community groups

:05:26.:05:32.

actually openly work with the prisons, in terms of wanting to see

:05:32.:05:39.

people being able to look —— to lead law—abiding lives when they are

:05:39.:05:41.

released, and the open state is a very important stage of ensuring

:05:42.:05:46.

that people can be released safely back into the communities. So, yes

:05:46.:05:52.

or no for the tagging? It is important that the public has

:05:52.:05:57.

confidence in security... So is that a yes? It needs looking into. The

:05:57.:06:04.

Chief Inspector will be doing a review into what

:06:04.:06:09.

will be important to listen to his recommendations.

:06:09.:06:11.

Is tagging prisoners on day release the answer to the crimes that have

:06:11.:06:15.

been committed? Are open prisons working? Maybe you live near North

:06:15.:06:24.

Sea Camp. Your thoughts on the subject and what you have heard, we

:06:24.:06:26.

might have some before we finish. We look forward to hearing from you.

:06:26.:06:45.

Thank you for watching. In a moment...

:06:45.:06:47.

Teenagers in rural areas criticise Government proposals to raise the

:06:47.:06:52.

driving age. Two brothers from Hornsea in East

:06:52.:06:55.

Yorkshire, whose father died on Tuesday night, believe he could have

:06:55.:06:58.

survived if an ambulance had arrived within the target time set by the

:06:58.:07:04.

Government. Ian and Simon Poole say they can't understand why it took 28

:07:04.:07:07.

minutes to arrive, when they live close to an ambulance station. Their

:07:07.:07:13.

MP, Graham Stuart, says response times in rural East Yorkshire are

:07:13.:07:18.

appalling. Here's our health correspondent, Vicky Johnson.

:07:18.:07:23.

Simon and Ian Poole are still struggling to understand why it took

:07:23.:07:26.

so long for an ambulance to arrive when their father suddenly fell ill

:07:26.:07:36.

earlier this week. We have an ambulance station two minutes away.

:07:36.:07:39.

There was an ambulance parked, but the shot is work boarded up. I do

:07:39.:07:45.

not see why we didn't get an ambulance from Hornsea or from

:07:45.:07:50.

somewhere local. Coming from Hull to Hornsea, you will never make it in

:07:50.:07:53.

more than 25 minutes. Simon, who's had first aid training, gave his

:07:53.:07:56.

father cardiac massage while they waited for help to arrive. If they

:07:56.:08:03.

could have been sooner, I think he would still be here. They have the

:08:03.:08:09.

equipment to keep his heart going. They should have been here. This

:08:09.:08:11.

family's experience isn't unusual. The Government demands that in 75%

:08:11.:08:14.

of the most serious cases, ambulances should attend within

:08:14.:08:19.

eight minutes. But in Hornsea, the average so far this year has been

:08:19.:08:23.

just over 61% and in some Holderness villages, it dropped to 45%. I am

:08:23.:08:35.

appalled at the current level of service. I met with the Chief

:08:35.:08:38.

Executive of the Yorkshire Ambulance Service last year and he agreed it

:08:38.:08:41.

was not good enough to stop there was a slight improvement over time

:08:41.:08:43.

but we have now seen a deterioration. People in rural

:08:43.:08:46.

Holderness deserve a high quality service. A paramedic, who wishes to

:08:46.:08:50.

remain anonymous, is warning that proposed rota changes could mean

:08:50.:08:53.

there will be even fewer ambulances on call at night. There will be less

:08:53.:09:01.

ambulance crews at a certain time. After midnight, after 2am and after

:09:01.:09:05.

4am, which will mean ambulances responding to emergencies or have to

:09:05.:09:10.

travel further. It will possibly put at risk the lives of patients. The

:09:11.:09:17.

crews can only do what they are asked to do. I do not know what the

:09:17.:09:20.

answer is, but I am not gone to leave it here. I will move into it

:09:20.:09:25.

further. Something needs to be fixed, if not for our family, for

:09:25.:09:29.

other people's. The Yorkshire Ambulance Service says it will look

:09:29.:09:34.

into the Poole family's case. Their records show that a clinician

:09:34.:09:37.

arrived 15 minutes after the call, with an ambulance following 13

:09:37.:09:40.

minutes later. But Graham Stuart says he'll raise these issues with

:09:40.:09:43.

the head of the Yorkshire Ambulance Service when they meet next month.

:09:43.:09:52.

An update on the 11—year—old boy who's been missing from his home in

:09:52.:09:55.

Grimsby since Monday. Police said this afternoon that he had been

:09:56.:09:59.

found safe and well. The Deputy Police and Crime

:09:59.:10:01.

Commissioner for Humberside Police has been caught speeding. Paul

:10:01.:10:05.

Robinson, seen here on the left, was driving at 90 miles an hour on the

:10:05.:10:09.

M180 last month. He says he will give more attention to his driving

:10:09.:10:13.

in future. A man arrested after an explosion at

:10:13.:10:16.

the office of Nick Boles' Conservative Party office in Bourne

:10:16.:10:19.

has pleaded guilty to possessing an explosive substance. Paul

:10:19.:10:22.

Leversedge, who's 28 and from Bourne, will be sentenced at Lincoln

:10:22.:10:26.

Crown Court at the end of November. Minor damage was caused to the

:10:27.:10:31.

office in June. This road in Scunthorpe will stay

:10:31.:10:34.

closed through the weekend while Anglian Water repairs a main. 14

:10:34.:10:38.

homes were flooded when it burst on Queensway on Wednesday night.

:10:38.:10:43.

A leisure centre in Grimsby, closed when asbestos was found in the

:10:43.:10:47.

building, re—opened this afternoon. Campaigners fighting for the long

:10:47.:10:51.

term future of Scartho Baths say they want to know why it took so

:10:51.:10:54.

long to find the dangerous substance.

:10:54.:11:00.

The NHS is giving more than £2 million to help keep open a swimming

:11:00.:11:04.

pool in Hull for just one more year. —— more than £200,000. There were

:11:04.:11:09.

protests when Hull City Council said it was closing Ennerdale in a move

:11:09.:11:13.

to save money. Health experts said it was a backward step and offered

:11:13.:11:19.

to help. Crispin Rolfe reports. This pool's been saved, but only

:11:19.:11:24.

until April 2015. Hull's Ennerdale Leisure Centre, and the city

:11:24.:11:27.

council, bailed out by the NHS, through a one—off £219,000 payment

:11:27.:11:29.

from the city's Clinical Commissioning Group. What is killing

:11:29.:11:42.

people now are things like obesity, smoking, lack of exercise. This is a

:11:42.:11:48.

CCG saying, we think it is important and we are prepared to put some

:11:48.:11:52.

money in, albeit on a short—term basis, because that is all we can

:11:52.:11:55.

do. The pool had faced closure, with Hull City Council trying to get to

:11:55.:11:59.

grips with £80 million worth of Government cuts. So, for those using

:11:59.:12:05.

the pool today, relief. They have been saving for a year but it should

:12:05.:12:09.

be longer. I think the pool should stay open. Especially as we are in

:12:09.:12:16.

the larger side of the city. I just live across the road, it is so handy

:12:16.:12:21.

for my children. I believe that people actually appreciate more a

:12:21.:12:27.

facility, than the shock of a closure. It aims at home to people

:12:27.:12:31.

that unless people use it, they will lose it. I'd like So, a temporary

:12:31.:12:34.

fix of £219,000. But what happens when the money runs out in 2015?

:12:34.:12:38.

Councillors say they're now working on a long—term plan to build more

:12:38.:12:41.

cost—effective leisure facilities, and pull down those which aren't.

:12:41.:12:44.

Which means the Ennerdale Swimming Pool is likely to face questions

:12:44.:12:48.

over its future all over again in just 18 months time. For now though,

:12:48.:12:54.

Hull's only competition sized pool stays open, though the authorities

:12:54.:12:58.

say it's a case of use it or lose it, as they look for cost

:12:58.:13:05.

efficiencies in 2015. Still ahead tonight...

:13:05.:13:13.

The 80—year—old great—grandfather still working at Hull Fair.

:13:13.:13:18.

The council warning about the dangers of horse chestnut trees.

:13:18.:13:34.

Keep your photos coming in. Tonight's picture was taken at

:13:34.:13:43.

Cleethorpes Pier, a double rainbow. Another picture on Monday night

:13:43.:13:48.

around the same time. Keeley Donovan is here. She wasn't here last week,

:13:48.:13:53.

he had loads of tweet —— tweets asking where you work. —— where you

:13:53.:13:56.

were. You couldn't go clubbing in

:13:57.:16:04.

Cleethorpes now, you would get mobbed! The Keeley Donovan Fanclub.

:16:04.:16:11.

Have a nice weekend. Some councils in Yorkshire and

:16:11.:16:13.

Lincolnshire have been criticised for not being open to social media.

:16:13.:16:16.

Figures suggest many, including East Riding, are denying residents the

:16:16.:16:20.

right to film, blog or tweet during council meetings. This is not the

:16:20.:16:31.

real world, people are not bothered about recording cancel meetings or

:16:31.:16:36.

filming cancel meetings. We are moving towards the election period.

:16:36.:16:43.

It has started a bitterly! —— a bit early.

:16:43.:16:45.

You can see that story in full on the Sunday Politics here on BBC One.

:16:45.:16:49.

Teenagers who live in remote parts of East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire

:16:49.:16:52.

have criticised Government plans to raise the driving age from 17 to 18.

:16:52.:16:56.

It's being considered because younger drivers are more likely to

:16:56.:17:00.

be in accidents than older drivers. But some we've spoken to say raising

:17:01.:17:06.

the age limit would stop them getting to work and college. Tolu

:17:07.:17:12.

Adeoye reports from Boothby Graffoe. Danielle Skayman and Ben Ray, both

:17:12.:17:15.

18, both started learning to dry as soon as they could and passed their

:17:15.:17:21.

tests a year ago at 17. —— learning to drive to stop it means I can get

:17:21.:17:29.

to work easier, I am a lot more independent. My family do not have

:17:29.:17:32.

to run the around. Danielle lives in the village of Ingam and needs her

:17:32.:17:36.

car to get to work in nearby Sturton by Stow. If I had only just been

:17:36.:17:40.

starting, that is like a whole year of experience I have missed out on.

:17:40.:17:44.

Just because I was 17 when I started does not mean I was any less

:17:44.:17:50.

competent. Young people have a disproportionate amount of accidents

:17:50.:17:52.

compared to all the people. How should the Government get that

:17:52.:17:59.

down? Maybe they could get a more experienced out on the road with

:17:59.:18:01.

their parents so they have some are next to them, helping them and

:18:01.:18:04.

advising them on what to do in situations. The Government wants to

:18:05.:18:07.

increase the age when teenagers can learn to drive from 17 to 18, to cut

:18:07.:18:11.

accidents. Under the proposals, new drivers would also face a night time

:18:11.:18:15.

curfew, unless a passenger aged over 30 is in the car. Like Danielle, Ben

:18:15.:18:24.

needed his driving licence straightaway, to be able to work as

:18:24.:18:27.

a farmer in Boothby Graffoe. If I didn't have a car, I would had to ——

:18:27.:18:33.

have to catch the bus service. It is much easier just to jump in your

:18:33.:18:37.

car. It has massively impacted upon me. Both in my work and my college

:18:37.:18:47.

life. The next bus here is not due for another 30 minutes. Danielle and

:18:47.:18:52.

then say that as part of the problem, public transport links are

:18:52.:18:56.

not as good in rural areas as they are in major cities. The

:18:56.:18:58.

Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership runs sessions to teach teenagers

:18:58.:19:01.

about safe driving. They've welcomed the ambition to improve standards,

:19:01.:19:04.

but they say this is the wrong way to go about it. Putting the age will

:19:04.:19:09.

not necessarily make a difference. We need to see structured road

:19:09.:19:14.

safety training in amongst the driver training, so we can include

:19:14.:19:19.

as mandatory items motorway driving, night driving and driving in bad

:19:19.:19:24.

weather. If it is structured, it should work and we can bring these

:19:24.:19:27.

casualties are levels down. Although any changes in future won't affect

:19:27.:19:30.

Danielle and Ben, they say they still feel for young people who

:19:30.:19:33.

could be affected. The proposals will be published later this year.

:19:33.:19:44.

We are keen to get your views on whether the driving age should be

:19:45.:19:49.

changed. There is the e—mail address. You can text us as well.

:19:49.:20:00.

Hull Fair, one of the largest of its kind in the country, has been opened

:20:00.:20:05.

by the Lord Mayor. I would like to declare Hull Fair 2013 officially

:20:05.:20:10.

open. In doing so, I wish everyone...

:20:10.:20:17.

open. In doing so, I wish That was the opening. Phillip Norton

:20:17.:20:23.

is at the fairground. It is very windy at the moment, how is that

:20:23.:20:31.

affecting things? It is well underway, despite the wind and the

:20:31.:20:36.

rain. The star attraction is not open yet, it will reopen at the end

:20:36.:20:42.

of the weekend. It is all down to the hard work have the show men

:20:42.:20:47.

here, the oldest is 80 years old. Gilbert Chadwick. He has been

:20:47.:20:52.

bringing attractions here for 50 years. I will do the hydraulics now.

:20:52.:21:01.

OK. Goodbye. 80 years old, and Showman of the

:21:01.:21:04.

Year. Gilbert Chadwick Senior has seen huge changes at this famous

:21:04.:21:13.

fair. I have been attending the fair for about the last 50 years, before

:21:13.:21:21.

that I was with my mum and dad. The wall of death has gone. Now we have

:21:21.:21:27.

fast, hydraulic white knuckle rides that spin you around. This

:21:27.:21:30.

great—grandad shows no sign of hanging up his spanners — he built

:21:30.:21:34.

his Fun House and still adds to it every year. I want to pull it to

:21:34.:21:46.

pieces. I want to pollute abuses before I throw it away. Ask me how I

:21:46.:21:53.

feel about 55, 60. There is nothing I can't do, everything still works,

:21:53.:21:58.

I am very fortunate. I can still do push—ups, life is good. It is all

:21:58.:22:03.

the fun of the fair, it is great. Yesterday he had a job to do on the

:22:03.:22:07.

hydraulics and it started to blow and I said, don't tell me you're

:22:07.:22:14.

going to go up there. I said, oh, no. I put the brakes on because he

:22:14.:22:18.

would just keep going. I say, that is enough now, you are 80, not 28.

:22:18.:22:23.

Have a rest. The sprawling site will welcome thousands of visitors over

:22:23.:22:27.

the next nine days, after the huge task of setting up. It is one of

:22:27.:22:35.

them is —— them things, it is a highlight for Hull. You have a week

:22:35.:22:41.

to get ready, it is just a big buzz. Back in Gilbert's quarters, time to

:22:41.:22:47.

reflect on his life on the road. I would not change it for anything. In

:22:47.:22:52.

the winter, I have chopped firewood, I went to work in the

:22:52.:23:04.

steelworks. I like the fairground. You go around with a smile on your

:23:04.:23:07.

face because you know it is good to be good. You all say good morning to

:23:07.:23:11.

each other, everyone is happy. But we do not like the wind and we do

:23:11.:23:15.

not like the rain. We like the sunshine! It is a great life and I

:23:15.:23:25.

enjoy it. What more can I say? Such a fantastic man, Gilbert Chadwick's

:23:25.:23:29.

story, he is down there now, manning his fun house with all those great

:23:29.:23:36.

characters, who help to make this fantastic fare. It is slightly windy

:23:36.:23:40.

up here! That is why people keep coming from Hull and the surrounding

:23:40.:23:43.

areas to support this fantastic event, year after year.

:23:43.:23:50.

That fair is officially open, if you're going over the next week or

:23:50.:23:54.

so, enjoy, despite the fact the forecast is not brilliant!

In local football, Grimsby Town and Lincoln City will look to move into

the Conference play off places this weekend. The Mariners visit

:24:00.:24:03.

Salisbury with that game live on BBC Radio Humberside. Coverage starts at

:24:03.:24:07.

2pm tomorrow afternoon. Lincoln host Aldershot with kick off at 3pm on

Saturday. Commentary on BBC Radio Lincolnshire.

:24:13.:24:17.

Conkers are so dangerous that in recent years, children have had to

:24:17.:24:20.

wear safety goggles while playing with them. One council stripped a

:24:20.:24:26.

tree of conkers to prevent children throwing sticks to knock them down.

:24:26.:24:30.

Now, City of Lincoln Council has tweeted to warn pedestrians of the

:24:30.:24:40.

dangers of falling conkers. Simon Spark investigates. Be careful

:24:40.:24:45.

where you what, because danger can luck from above.

:24:45.:24:48.

When conquerors were dangerously hanging from the city of Lincoln

:24:48.:24:53.

cancel coquetry, they tweeted an alert. If you're heading to

:24:53.:24:59.

Hall, be aware that the conquerors are starting to fall from the trees,

:24:59.:25:04.

suggest be careful. This is the offending tree. As you can see,

:25:04.:25:09.

there is evidence of recently fallen conquerors, so I have come prepared

:25:09.:25:13.

so I can stand here and speak to you safely. But if a conqueror was to

:25:13.:25:17.

land on your head, how much damage would it actually do? To find out,

:25:17.:25:24.

we came to this country Park, which is a number of chestnut tree

:25:24.:25:31.

varieties, to assess the danger. I think the horse chestnut wood hurt

:25:31.:25:35.

the most. They seem to be slightly harder. We hear have a red horse

:25:35.:25:40.

chestnut, which is similar. We also have a lot of sweet chestnuts, which

:25:41.:25:47.

have very hard seed cases, they are coming down in the wind. So, there

:25:48.:25:54.

is danger there, but the reaction on Twitter was less sympathetic.

:25:54.:26:10.

Now I know there are conquerors on it, I might give the bitterness. The

:26:10.:26:20.

council told us the treat was light—hearted, as they would not

:26:20.:26:24.

want their visitors to receive a bump on the head. But we advise that

:26:24.:26:34.

you either use your head, or wear a hard hat, like me. Health and

:26:34.:26:35.

safety, that old chestnut! Let's get a recap of the national

:26:35.:26:38.

and regional headlines. The three main political parties

:26:38.:26:41.

reach a deal on press regulation after months of wrangling between

:26:41.:26:43.

politicians and the press. The Government says prisoners on day

:26:44.:26:47.

release will be tagged after a number of them walked out of North

:26:47.:26:50.

Sea Camp near Boston. Tomorrow's weather, cloudy with rain

:26:50.:26:52.

and drizzle continuing in places through the day. Some heavier and

:26:52.:26:55.

more persistent spells expected across Lincolnshire, especially

:26:55.:26:57.

later and through the evening. Maximum temperature of 14 Celsius.

:26:57.:27:04.

On the subject of open prisons, Daniel says, no prisoners should be

:27:04.:27:09.

allowed out. Our penal system is a joke. Judith says, these incidents

:27:09.:27:15.

are worrying but the consequences of visitors transferring overnight from

:27:15.:27:17.

high security to total liberty would be worse.

:27:17.:27:25.

This is, as a former inmate at North Sea Camp, there were a lot more

:27:25.:27:28.

incidents with inmates released on temporary licence than those that

:27:28.:27:30.

are reported. Inmates should be tagged for public

:27:30.:27:36.

safety. Thanks for all the messages this week and all of our subjects,

:27:36.:27:39.

most brutal to you. Have a good weekend, look after

yourself. See you on Monday.
