details throughout the evening. Thank you very much. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good evening. The headlines: Fighting the sea and fighting for | :00:07. | :00:14. | |
compensation ` families on the coast say they've nowhere to go The | :00:15. | :00:15. | |
highest court in the country I got no money to buy a property and | :00:16. | :00:28. | |
no money to demolish my home. The highest court in the country rejects | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
prisoners fight for votes. On the day unemployment figures show a rise | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
in part of our area ` we follow four people in their search for work. I | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
am not lazy. I want a job. I need a job. I cannot get one. Horse riders | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
are told to clean up after their animals ` in a curb on anti`social | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
behaviour. It has been a dreary day but tomorrow is better. | :00:57. | :01:06. | |
She's already lost half her garden to the North Sea, but widow Janet | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
Ellis is refusing to move out of her house until the council give her | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
compensation. For almost thirty years the coast at Skipsea has been | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
her home and Janet believes she's owed the money because East Riding | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
Council chose not to build sea defences. The area has the fastest | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
eroding coastline in Europe. Our rural affairs correspondent Linsey | :01:31. | :01:31. | |
Smith reports. After serving in the Navy, Janet | :01:32. | :01:42. | |
Ellis dreamed of spending her life by the sea. But her garden is now | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
rapidly falling away. East Riding Of Yorkshire Council say she must | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
seriously think about leaving ` without any compensation. I will not | :01:49. | :01:59. | |
go because I have nowhere to go. They've got to help us. The council | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
put has here `` put us here in the first place. Otherwise I would not | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
be having this conversation. They passed all the planning for these | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
bungalows. Somebody has got to be made responsible for it. There are | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
20 homes here classed as high risk because of their proximity to the | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
edge, as the cliff falls in further and further that risk level will be | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
moved to imminent and the people will be asked to move their homes so | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
they can be demolished. Government policy is to build coastal defences | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
where most people live. Bridlington, with over 35,000 residents, | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
Withernsea with over 8,000, and Hornsea with over 6,000 all have | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
defences. But the policy for villages like Skipsea ` where almost | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
700 people live ` is to let nature take its course. | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
I would say to the government, if that is the policy, and we accept it | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
is, then I think there is a responsibility there to actually | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
offer some sort of financial support to the people that have to live with | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
that. Death row say the only money available is a ?6,000 grant for | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
demolition. It is not cash they want, they want to build their own | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
defences but have been told it is not allowed. I would have died | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
fighting for this country, but I feel let down by the government. | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
They are taking no notice of it. Very upset. I cannot do anything | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
about it so we just have to put up with it. Houses are still being | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
bought and sold on Green Lane ` despite one being demolished this | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
week. But residents like Janet say they will not be leaving. Linsey is | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
with me in the studio. What options have these residents got? Is the | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
only hope to move out of their homes? They say that is not an easy | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
option when you are in your eighties. Many of the residents we | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
spoke to firmly believe spending the last of their life savings on sea | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
defences on the beach beneath their homes would hold the sea off for the | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
time they need ` but they are not allowed to do this. What infuriates | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
them ` is that some businesses ` for example a caravan park nearby ` do | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
have defences, and they say this is unfair and the council must apply | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
the policy fairly to everyone. They also fear that these private | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
defences nearby are speeding up their erosion. Thank you. We want to | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
hear from you on this story, do you think people who face losing their | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
homes to erosion should get compensation? Or do you think it's a | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
risk people take with they choose to live by the sea? It is a subject we | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
have spoken about before and I'm sure we will again. Contact us... | :04:46. | :04:55. | |
In a moment: First steps as a Grimsby girl learns to walk after | :04:56. | :05:12. | |
magnets were implanted into her leg. A leading prison campaigner from | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
Hull says he'll continue to fight for inmates to have the right to | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
vote. Convicted axe killer John Hirst has been reacting to a court | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
judgement which rejected a case brought by two prisoners, who | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
claimed they should be allowed to vote under EU law. However, senior | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
East Yorkshire MP David Davis has told BBC Look North that parliament | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
will block any further attempt to enable inmates to take part in | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
elections. More from our Political Editor Tim Iredale. Taking to the | :05:36. | :05:47. | |
airwaves today, John Hirst was arguing his case that prisoners | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
should have the same right to have their say at the ballot box as the | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
rest of the population. His long`running legal battle has | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
received a setback after the Supreme Court rejected an appeal by two | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
serving prisoners who argued they should have a right to vote on the | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
law. But the former prisoner says he is not conceding defeat. You cannot | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
have supreme parliaments and Supreme Court, you can only have one or the | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
other. They will enforce it in Europe and as a result it will cost | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
the taxpayers more millions because of David Cameron's thinking he is | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
applying common sense. Back in 1979 John Hirst was jailed for | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
manslaughter after killing his landlady with an axe. In 2005 after | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
being released he won a landmark legal case in the European Court of | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
Human Rights ` which ruled the UK government should allow prisoners to | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
vote. But two years ago the House of Commons voted overwhelmingly to | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
reject the idea of votes for prisoners. And that's led to a | :06:52. | :07:01. | |
position of stalemate. But East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire MPs are | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
among the most vocal opponents of inmates getting the chance to decide | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
who represents them at Westminster. I think they will decide no votes | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
for any prisoners other than those on remand. You don't think prisoners | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
will ever get the vote? I don't. If the European Court starts to push | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
the point it will lose the faith of the public because they do not want | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
it. I don't think they should be pandering for the votes of | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
prisoners. You could argue they have rights just as much as everybody | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
else but people have committed unforgivable crimes. They shouldn't | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
be able to vote. You have committed a crime and you are in prison, you | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
should lose your human rights. Is by this victory, most politicians seem | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
determined to block any prospect of Allott boxes behind bars. Earlier I | :08:00. | :08:09. | |
spoke to Trisha Bergan who represents victims of crime after | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
her son was murdered and Juliet Lyon from the prison reform trust. I | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
asked Juliet Lyon if she thought the fight had been lost for prisoners to | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
get the vote. What the judgement today said is the EU fast`track | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
route that was being tested is not going to work, but they uphold the | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
principles of the decision`makers back in 2005. The blanket ban is | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
unlawful. That was the European Court decision. They reinforce that | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
decision today. Do you accept these people, they are sent to prison to | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
lose their liberty, not their human rights. Yes. I really don't agree | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
with this. I am so pleased. I was absolutely disgusted when I heard | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
about it this morning and now I am so pleased that it has been refused | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
full up talking about human rights, or yes, these people have done | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
wrong. You have done the crime and you have got to do the time. Isn't | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
that what most people listening and watching will be thinking? There is | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
no question that people will not be serving their sentences, and if it | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
is a serious crime they will serve serious time. There is no question. | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
The decision is about whether while they are in prison they should be in | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
title to vote. I don't agree with what you said about people doing a | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
long sentence, that is not true at all. I belong to a charity and we | :09:41. | :09:50. | |
have over 4000 members, and the majority of those people feel | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
exactly the same as I do. We are slightly off the point with that. I | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
know you have said not giving prisoners the vote is morally | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
unsustainable. Do you really believe that? I do believe that. It is | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
important for people to lose their liberty if they commit a serious | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
crime. If there is to be an additional management, in France and | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
Germany, when they think the crime is particularly serious, the judge | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
adds the punishment of stripping someone of their voting rights. I | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
still don't agree with it. They have got right. What sort of right have | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
they got? What about us? I have lost my son ten years ago. Not a day goes | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
by I do not cry. I am grieving for my son. That is the sharp end of it. | :10:44. | :10:54. | |
Why should somebody believe a prisoner has a right to vote? It is | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
a real`life horror, it is devastating. Bereavement is terrible | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
and I understand that, each day is as bad as the next day, and it takes | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
a long time for any thing to begin to fall into place. This is not | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
about saying victims don't count, it is not about saying people should | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
not serve a serious punishment if they have committed a serious | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
offence, it is simply saying that while people are in prison, they | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
should exercise their civic responsibilities, they should have | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
the right not for their liberty, they have lost that, but to vote. It | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
is a fundamental human rights. You have been through so much. When you | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
hear people like John Hirst and Juliet arguing for prisoners rights, | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
how do you feel? I absolutely don't agree with it. Absolutely not. This | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
is something I have to live with for the rest of my life and I don't | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
think they should have that privilege, never mind about human | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
rights. Never mind about that. They should not have it I absolutely | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
don't agree with it. Thank you very much. The subject of prisoners, you | :12:04. | :12:14. | |
might have a view on this. Is being able to vote part of human rights or | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
should they lose them if they commit a crime? Text us will stop `` text | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
us. I look forward to getting your | :12:25. | :12:38. | |
views. The man at the head of Lincolnshire's troubled hospitals | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
has announced his retirement. Paul Richardson took up the post four and | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
a half years ago. The United Lincolnshire hospitals trust was | :12:45. | :12:46. | |
placed in special measures earlier this year following critical reports | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
into patient care. A new joint workshop for Police and Fire Service | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
vehicles and equipment is planned for Melton in East Yorkshire. | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Grove says it | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
will save money for both organisations. A major clean`up has | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
been taking place after a lorry lost its load of pickled onions in East | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
Yorkshire. The HGV overturned on the road between Goole and Drax, close | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
to Rawcliffe. Emergency services closed the road for short time while | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
the onions were cleared and the lorry was recovered. A teenager from | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
Grimsby is back on her feet for the first time, after becoming the | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
youngest person in the UK to undergo a new treatment. Doctors have used a | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
magnetic implant to add six centimetres to Sophie Lewis' right | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
leg. It should make it easier for her to walk, and ease constant pain. | :13:38. | :13:50. | |
Jake Zuckerman reports. She's stretched her right leg by six | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
centimetres, now Sophie Lewis from Grimsby is standing on it again for | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
the first time. Today has been my first proper day of standing. I | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
stood up and I felt straight automatically before I am allowed to | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
walk. I am hoping it will be even better. A pelvic deformity made it | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
difficult for 17`year`old Sophie to walk and stand. But four months ago | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
she began pioneering treatment to lengthen her leg by 6cm. Her thigh | :14:15. | :14:22. | |
bone was broken and a metal rod, called a nail, was attached inside. | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
A remote control used magnets to extend the rod. And this stretched | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
and grew the bone until it reached the required length. Sophie used | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
this it will make a world of difference. I could never stand | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
normally and this will give me the chance. Sophie used this magnetic | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
control device to lengthen her leg mm by mm. How are you doing? Now | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
that stage of the treatment is over, and she's making good progress. We | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
will see her in six weeks take another x`ray, hopefully then she | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
will be able to walk properly and put weight through it. Long`term, we | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
are looking at once the ball is strong enough she will only see it | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
every few months. `` the bone is strong enough. Then we will take out | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
the nail. Sophie's the youngest person in the UK to have undergone | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
the procedure. In the past it would have required an external metal | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
cage, risking serious infection and scarring. Over the coming weeks and | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
months doctors will be keeping a close eye on her as she takes her | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
first tentative steps. Evaluating how this new procedure can help | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
other young people in a similar situation. We wish Sophie well. | :15:35. | :15:43. | |
Still ahead tonight: Respect our streets ` riders asked to clean up | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
after their horses. It is a nuisance. That is all. We are asking | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
for common courtesy. Tonight's photograph is of a nature | :15:53. | :16:01. | |
reserve. Must have waited ages to get that | :16:02. | :16:12. | |
one. Good evening. A large you? I am all | :16:13. | :16:26. | |
right. Talking about ratings for cafes and restaurants last night, it | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
must have inspired John Moffitt, he says we should rate weather | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
forecasters. I think it is a good idea. Apparently there are no minus | :16:34. | :16:42. | |
points. What about judging you on foreign languages? Last week it was | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
Latin and you said it was French full up `` you said it was French. | :16:49. | :16:57. | |
Full weather forecast, it will be brighter tomorrow, with some | :16:58. | :16:58. | |
sunshine in between systems. brighter tomorrow, with some | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
sunshine in Today's brain system is coming across, not until the end of | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
Friday, so effectively tomorrow will be bright with some sunshine. There | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
is the weather band, the cold front which brought the rain in from the | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
south`west will stop it is going to clear in the next couple of hours. | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
It has already cleared Lincolnshire. Some patches of | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
rainforest Yorkshire which will clear into the North Sea. The wind | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
will pick up and there will be a strong west or south`westerly, that | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
could drag 12 showers into western fringes, but effectively the night | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
will be dry. `` Dragone shower. That averages are just in double figures. | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
The sun will rise in the morning at around 7:32am. The high water | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
times... Much improved. It has been well | :17:47. | :17:54. | |
signalled as the best day of the week and it will be so. Mostly dry | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
with the odd shower. Variable cloud. Increasing amounts of sunshine. | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
Really pleasant. Plenty of blue sky. The wind will use. `` die down. The | :18:04. | :18:13. | |
top amateurs... `` temperatures. We are a bit above average. It could be | :18:14. | :18:22. | |
even 16 degrees. Looking further ahead on Friday, rather cloudy, rain | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
holding off until the end of the day. A mixture of sunny spells and a | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
scattering of showers. That is the forecast. We could score you like | :18:33. | :18:43. | |
they do on the television. Good night. Do call again. The latest | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
unemployment figures released today show an increase in the number of | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
people out of work in the East Midlands, which includes | :18:52. | :18:53. | |
Lincolnshire, with 177,000 people out of work ` that's up by 9,000. In | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
Yorkshire and the Humber, 242,000 people are now claiming jobless | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
benefits ` that's down by 3,000 on previous months. Gemma Dawson has | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
been to meet four people looking for work. Nationally unemployment is | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
falling, but here in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire thousands of people | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
are still looking for work. Like Teri ` she's 46 and lives in | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
Bridlington. She's been out of work for four years since being made | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
redundant. For Teri, the search for work is like a full`time job. First | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
stop ` the Job Centre, to sign`on, then to her local library to apply | :19:32. | :19:32. | |
for more jobs. stop ` the Job Centre, to sign`on, | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
then to her local library Teri's here several times a week. She says | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
she's filled in around 500 applications in the last four years. | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
It is the only way to keep myself going, by doing this and keeping | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
active. Keeping myself wanting to find a job. At the beach, Teri | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
reflects on what's been a tough four years filled with rejection. I feel | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
like nobody is interested in my abilities. I do not sit on offence | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
and do nothing, I am out there all the time looking for something. | :20:09. | :20:10. | |
Stefan too, is keen to find employment. He's 55 and lives in | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
Ruskington. He's been out of work for nearly 17 years due to his | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
epilepsy. Stefan can't drive because of his illness ` so he's getting the | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
train to Lincoln for his weekly computer class. His incapacity | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
benefit has been stopped so he needs new skills to help him find work. | :20:28. | :20:35. | |
This is Stefan's third session. He's hoping to get the European Computer | :20:36. | :20:43. | |
Driving Licence. When it comes to looking for work, as a 55`year`old, | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
if you can see I can work computer, that will increase my prospects. | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
During a coffee break, Stefan admits he's always wanted to go back to | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
work. You need that structure, no matter how much you complain in the | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
morning about getting up and going to work. There is something great | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
about it, you do like it. While teenagers Josh and Jess are just | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
starting out. They're both doing a traineeship in Horncastle. Looking | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
at the ladder, is it used correctly? It's their first week on their | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
course. Here they're learning the skills employers want. One of my | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
mates applied for the job I was going to and there were 30 people | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
onto it. You have two have details on your CV and make it stand out. | :21:31. | :21:37. | |
Josh is hoping for a career in retail, or to get a trade. While | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
Jess wants to work with children. But she's got the added pressure of | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
being a new mum. The past few days have been stressful but she will get | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
used to it. I've got to do this for myself. I don't want to be sat at | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
home I want to have an education. I don't want to have nothing to fall | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
back on. We'll be following these four in the coming months as they | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
continue their search for work. Back to our story on last night's Look | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
North about how Louth could finally get a town`centre supermarket. | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
Sainsbury's, Tesco, Asda and Morrisons are all interested in | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
buying the town's cattle market from the council following years of | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
opposition. Just a few of your responses. Jess says "Louth is stuck | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
in the dark ages, we need to wake up and catch up with the rest of the | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
world. A supermarket would be fantastic." Caroline says "I would | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
love a big supermarket in Louth, I would shop there more. I think there | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
is room for both and it would increase sales all round." | :22:29. | :22:30. | |
would shop there more. I think there is Tom says "Louth will be one of | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
many towns that will lose its unique town centre if a supermarket comes | :22:34. | :22:35. | |
in." is Tom says "Louth will be one of | :22:36. | :22:43. | |
Thank you for those. Scunthorpe's newly crowned World Speedway | :22:44. | :22:45. | |
Champion Tai Woffinden has officially opened the town's new | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
leisure centre. Tai won the title earlier this month at the Speedway | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
Grand Prix in Poland. He is the first British World Champion the | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
sport has seen for 13 years. He was presented with an award by North | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
Lincolnshire Council before officially opening The Pods this | :22:59. | :23:00. | |
afternoon ` despite undergoing surgery for an injury just hours | :23:01. | :23:09. | |
before. Obviously it is great to be recognised for something you have | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
achieved, and to be given the opportunity to open this, and a | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
civic reception from the Maher. It is a great feeling. A proud day and | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
a great day. How marvellous to have somebody born and bred here a world | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
champion. Someone that was really enthusiastic when we asked them to | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
come and open this. Having an operation this morning in Derby and | :23:36. | :23:37. | |
here he is back in Scunthorpe to open this facility. We are | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
delighted. Well done. Well, Lincolnshire could soon have another | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
motorcycling champion. Alex Lowes, who's from Lincoln, is currently in | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
joint first place in the British Superbike Championships. We'll be | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
hearing from Alex and his twin brother Sam, who's already a world | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
champion on tomorrow's programme. A man who planned to travel around the | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
world on a rickshaw has decided to abandon the project after a month. | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
Luke Parry from Eastrington near Howden was going to spend about 18 | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
months travelling 16,000 miles, meeting people and offering them | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
lifts. But he said he wasn't enjoying the trip so has decided to | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
return home. Dog owners are used to having to clear up after their pets | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
or face a penalty. But what about if you own a slightly larger animal, | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
like a horse? Well, the problem of horse manure on the streets of North | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
East Lincolshire has got so bad that the council has decided to take | :24:33. | :24:41. | |
action. Jill Archbold reports. Residents in this village are used | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
to sharing their footpaths with cyclists and walkers. They are | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
growing tired of sharing it with this. If that was on there no | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
problem. We're calling for more courtesy. It is a nuisance. That is | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
all. As you can see, grass verges on either side, I am assured by horse | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
riders that they have indication when the horse wants to go to the | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
toilet, and we ask them, if they could pull onto the verge instead of | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
letting them do it on the footpath. For anyone who owns and what's a | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
dog, it is the moment that nobody looks forward to. But this is a much | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
bigger problem and some disagreement on how best to handle it. They have | :25:26. | :25:32. | |
turned to the British horse Society for advice. | :25:33. | :25:53. | |
At a nearby riding school, defence of riders who are dear to advice | :25:54. | :26:01. | |
that is not always easy to achieve. To be truthful, I would say you are | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
very lucky if you are on a horse that starts doing this and you can | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
get them to move. More often than not once they commit themselves to | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
that need, it is hard to get them to move and do it at the same time. It | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
is not against the law but in the coming weeks, the local council | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
hopes to visit a number of stables to establish an etiquette with | :26:23. | :26:31. | |
riders. Another one you might have a view on, if you are a horse rider or | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
not a horse rider, you might still have a view. Look forward to hearing | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
from you. If you have a story you think we should know about send us | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
an e`mail. The headlines: Unemployment is down again with the | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
biggest drop enjoyment `` employment figures for 16 years. And widow says | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
she will not move out of her home even though it could collapse into | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
the sea. The weather will be bright and breezy with thick cloud and | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
showers in the afternoon. Doctor averages 15 Celsius. 59 Fahrenheit. | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
`` top temperatures. On the subject of coastal erosion, if you choose to | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
live there you know what will happen. The seller needs to make the | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
buyer aware. Coastal communities are what keeps Yorkshire's tourism | :27:19. | :27:21. | |
strong and not compensating these people leaves these areas becoming | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
undesirable. Compensation is for negligence. The decision not to | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
build sea defences was sensible. No compensation, that is just a stupid | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
waste of money. Goodbye. Join me tomorrow, Nicholas Parsons will be | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
on the radio tomorrow. You ask us to get behind you | :27:44. | :28:14. | |
and why should we? You're punching above | :28:15. | :28:16. | |
your weight, aren't you? He wouldn't do that to me because | :28:17. | :28:18. | |
he wasn't that sort of a man. | :28:19. | :28:25. |
