28/10/2013 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

power cuts to thousands of homes. Now we can join the news teams where

you are. Good evening and welcome to BBC Look

North. The headlines tonight. Passengers are stranded as rail

services are disrupted by the storm that's surged across Britain. They

have set that buses will be laid on but I will believe that when I see

it. Hopefully we will get to King's Cross. There's revolt against

cameras as motorists say new speed restrictions make this road more

dangerous. It was billed as a through road to keep the traffic

flowing. Fans from halfway across the world come to Hull for the Rugby

League World Cup. Is the Strictly bug doing strange things to people

in Grimsby? I will be back later in the programme with your full

forecast for the week ahead. Rail services to and from London

cancelled. Surface water on the roads made driving hazardous and

heavy rain brought the threat of flooding to homes. The storm

disruption wasn't as severe as further South but it was certainly

one Monday morning that many will want to forget. Tonight there's

still no indication of when train services on the East Coast mainline

will be back to normal. But East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire DID

escape the worst of the damage as Simon Spark reports. The storm

battered the South has predicted that the most significant disruption

from the storm here was the knock`on effects to travel. Commuters from

Grantham saw cancellation after cancellation for anyone trying to

head south. Might train has been cancelled. I will be late for work.

I have been told it would be hours before trains get down to London. My

husband is going to give me a lift. In whole, there was expected delay.

They have half said that there will be buses laid on but I will believe

it when I see it. It affected mainline stations including Hull,

Grantham and Peterborough. We have had trains that have failed as they

have travelled down. Many coming from London were stranded. A limited

service did begin again late in the afternoon. In Skegness, those came

as close as it gets to being flooded. It was raining hard and I

kept watching and looking. Then it was coming over there and it was

coming out here and flooding all of this up. I started panicking because

it has been in before. For emergency services staff in Lincoln were they

had a relatively quiet night. We have been prepared for anything.

Fortunately the storm has tracked elsewhere. We may have got off

lightly but it has little been a day of delay and disruption for many

rail travellers. What is the latest picture on the trains? Well Peter we

mentioned there that a limited service has resumed between

Peterborough and Kings Cross but the advise remains not to travel by

train tonight if you can. Long delays are still expected throughout

the evening. They've obviously had a huge amount of work to do to clear

the tracks and repair power lines and while that work was ongoing

scenes like this at York Station, where no trains were arriving or

departing, were typical across the country today The advise again is to

travel tomorrow where tickets from today will still be valid.

The start of a new direct air link to Denmark from Humberside Airport

has tonight become another victim of the storm. The first flight has been

cancelled due to bad weather in Copenhagen. The flights operated by

SAS airlines are being seen as another sign of the growing business

links between Scandinavia and the Humber. Anne Marie Tasker is at the

airport for us tonight, so Anne Marie how significant is this new

service? You can tell from the volume of people here tonight, there

is 100 people on here for the launch. The guest of honour hasn't

arrived. The first plane from Scandinavia, the bad weather has

moved across to Denmark. There are hundreds of flights in the coming

months and the businesses here hope it will build strong links between

the two regions. Danbrit have been operating out of Goole for almost 30

years transporting cargo across the UK and Europe. They know plenty

about Denmark. It's where the company's founder Peter Aarosin is

from. He says these new flights will make it easier to get customers

there. That is where the real difference will be made. We can talk

to our Scandinavian customers and bring them across to the area, we

can show them exactly what we have to offer, with them able to get the

`` get here very easily. And it's hoped it could encourage future

business too. Denmark is a hub for green energy. It's the home of Dong

Energy who are building a huge wind farm off the East Yorkshire coast.

And it's where Siemens build turbines. It's hoped these new

flights will allow stronger links with that industry. It shows that

other organisations are recognising the activity that is going off in

this area for the renewables sector. The Scandinavians are taking us

seriously and what a direct link. SAS will fly in and out of

Humberside Airport five times a week. It gives us great job security

and provides a lot of service industries within the area, another

reason to do business with us and it will drive extra traffic through the

airport and they will look to spend money in the local area. SAS fly

into just six UK airports. Humberside will be the seventh. The

airport hopes it will help business with Scandinavia take off.

It looks like that may be the case. Earlier I spoke to a representative

from Scandinavia Airways and he said they had spent a year researching

this route because companies in Denmark were asking to come to this

region. The people in this room here tonight are certainly hoping they

will come. Hundreds of motorists in Grimsby

have signed a petition calling for average speed cameras only switched

on this month to be scrapped. North East Lincolnshire Council says the

cameras, on the 30 miles per hour Peaks Parkway, increase safety. But

some drivers claim they've made surrounding roads more dangerous,

and say the speed limit should be higher.

Average speed cameras work using automatic number plate recognition.

Some drivers have been inundated with tickets. Jason Davis got three

in as many days and said the road was designed for faster travel. It

is not a high risk road. There is not pedestrians and kids running

around, balls flying across the road. It was built as a through road

to keep the traffic flowing. I don't think that happens now. They work

using recognition. A computer works out if the cars that passed between

`` if the cars passed between the two cameras too quickly. It is a

direct route in and out of Grimsby. There are no footpaths and there are

crash barriers behind the wall. These cameras and force a 30 mile an

hour speed limit. In contrast, this is a residential street. There are

houses, driveways and footpaths. There's even a school in the, the ``

yet this is a 40 mile an hour road. Hundreds of names have now been

added to a petition calling for the cameras to be scrapped and the speed

limit increased as was proposed by North East Lincolnshire Council in a

2009 study. A local Councillor agrees. Today the council says the

cameras have been installed in partnership with Safer Roads Humber

after a number of casualties. If there is an accident and somebody

gets killed, it will be their responsibility. Why because there is

cameras there, is it an issue? It has always been 30 mph. The cameras

are there for a reason to make sure people stick to the speed limits and

to make Peaks Parkway a safe stretch of road. They hope to present the

councillors with their petition by the end of the year.

First, Sean Corker from the Association of British Drivers and

asked him if the drivers in Grimsby had a point? They have a very good

point. It is not right that the everyday actions of people should be

criminalised. Clearly the road limit has been set at an inappropriate

level and now the council are intent in enforcing that. You say you don't

have a problem with enforcement of the speed limit and this is all it

is. I have a problem with the enforcement of the wrong speed limit

which clearly drivers have been saying that this is. It is a main

thoroughfare into Grimsby with very little chance of coming into contact

with other types of road users. A 40 mile an hour limit is probably more

appropriate. The council says they are needed because of a high number

of accidents. This will stop when people can't speed. The council

hasn't said what has caused this will stop when people can't speed.

The council hasn't said what has caused these accidents. This will

stop when people can't speed. The council hasn't said what has caused

this accident is. Normally we find less than 7% of accidents are caused

by exceeding the speed limit. These are exasperated by artificially low

speed limits. So you think this big emitters wrong and should be

higher? If people are breaking this speed limit, the chances are that

the speed limit is wrong. Labelling them as speeders is inappropriate.

They are ordinary people wanting to get to work. They are not `` they

are ordinary people. There are accidents and people are getting

injured. It depends on what is causing those accidents. A lot of

the time, it is not speed that is causing accidents. It has to be

analysed and it is something the council have not been forthcoming

with. His argument is radical. Do you welcome the introduction of the

average speed cameras to keep the roads safe? Do you think they are

right. Should they be increased from 30 to 40. Do you use the Peaks

Parkway? More than ?1 million will be spent

on new street lighting in Hull City Centre to cut council energy costs.

The move from sodium to cheaper, longer`lasting, white LEDs like

these is against a national trend for turning street lights off. The

council says adopting the new technology will also help guard

against crime. Saving money by reducing the electricity by having

more efficient lamps is a more efficient way forward. There is the

added benefit that the lights will produce much better lighting for

CCTV images and the like. The quality of light will be better and

there will be a cheaper cost. Money from the government will be

used to expand a Lincolnshire power station. The company Siemens has won

the contract to extend the site at West Marsh Road in Spalding. It's

hoped it will be up and running by 2018.

A silent movie is to be projected onto the side of the Deep in Hull

this week telling the story of a sculpture made in the city that is

to greet passengers at Heathrow's new terminal. Slipstream will be the

longest permanent structure in Europe when it takes up residence at

the airport. It's been created using precision engineering by a Hull

company. The film telling the story of how it was made will be projected

onto the Deep from Thursday evening for three nights. It's part of

Hull's bid to become a city of culture.

Still ahead tonight: Hull plays host to a bruising Rugby League World Cup

encounter. How the Strictly Bug is doing

strange things to the people of Grimsby.

Keep your photos coming in. This is a photo of Bridlington beach. His

Lordship is on holiday. Every night last week, I heard from the Keeley

Donovan fan club. Every night, you always looked radiant. What are you

after? Look at this. How did you get that?

A journalist doesn't ruin `` reveal his sources.

I will be finding a better picture of you, Peter. We have a mixed bag

of sunny spells and there will be a few blustery showers being blown

through. Many places will avoid them and stay dry. It is Wednesday that

we will see the next area of low pressure sweeping in from the

Atlantique bringing a spell of wet and windy weather. You can see that

storm that tracked across as during the day bringing disruption to parts

of the south`east. We now have winds of up to 80 miles an hour over parts

of Denmark. It will be dry with clear spells tonight and

temperatures will drop back to single fingers `` single figures.

The sun will rise in the morning. Tomorrow morning, we start the day

with one or two showers. As we go through the course of the day, there

will be the risk of showers. It is very hit and miss and many places

will stay dry. There will be some decent spells of sunshine. Tomorrow,

it will be cooler than today. They will be around 10 Celsius. Looking

further ahead, a frosty start of the day on Wednesday and fine for a good

deal of the day. It will cloud over from the West with outbreaks of rain

spreading eastwards. We have wet and windy weather into Thursday. There

could be more cloud around. There was no make`up up a

photograph. That was worrying me. I will be watching my back.

We have seen today how the weather has been making the headlines. Well

although Paul is off this week, he's been investigating how the weather

in the future could really change. On tonight's Inside Out Paul speaks

to scientists about recent research which shows that North Western

Europe, including the UK, could be heading towards a mini Ice Age. I

asked him about the research. What have you found in this

investigation? Solar activity is increasing. The sun is in its

weakest state for over 100 years. It is thought that in the past, during

a period through the 1600s, in the early 1800s, very low solar activity

went hand`in`hand with harsh winters and poor summers. Professor Lockwood

actually told me that the decline in solar activity, the activity on the

sun that is so crucial is falling at a rate not seen in 10,000 years of

records. What would that mean to our winters? It doesn't mean every

winter will be harsh and every summer will be poor, in general,

harsh winters will become more frequent. We will see pictures of

the wind of 62. It was the coldest winter of the last century and it

went on for three months. The implications are quite profound. Are

we talking about soon or is it a long way off? The last seven years,

winters have been getting colder and he thinks we are on a slippery slope

that over the coming decades, we are reverting back to a climate we saw

in the 1600s. Wind turbines are built based on milder and wetter

winters, winters will be lest `` less windy and the transport

infrastructure would become under enormous strain.

And you can read more about Paul's findings in his blog which you can

find at bbc.co.uk/blogs/paulhudson and Paul's full report will be on

Inside Out on BBC One at 7.30 this evening. 7,500 rugby league fans

from Hull and beyond descended on Craven Park for the city's debut as

a host city for the Rugby League World Cup. They were entertained by

a close fought match between Papua New Guinea and France. Our sports

reporter Simon Clark was there. They like their rugby in these parts

and they showed up in great numbers. Some from near and far. We

really excited. That is why we have the trip from London. We are

supporting the team. Great to see a decent sports match bonus time. They

were treated by the French. Later on, by the team most in the ground

were back. Papua New Guinea. Two dynamic tries put them ahead. This

outstanding cake from the French put them back in front. Papua New Guinea

dreams were blown away by this missed penalty. We knew it was going

to be a tough game but that will make us even hungrier for next week.

It is like playing against trees. You get one and then another one

comes at you. I think we deserved the game. It is a great opportunity

to see a World Cup match here. It is a good facility and very well

organised. It is a pity they missed that last one. It was really good

and I am coming to the other game as well. Officials from Rugby league

World Cup 2013 should be delighted with the crowd of 17000 and will be

hoping from similar numbers when Papa New Guinea back to play Samoa.

It will be well worth watching. Fans groups from Hull City will meet

owner Assem Allam on Friday to express their dissatisfaction with a

potential name change to Hull Tigers. On the pitch the side went

down to a disputed penalty in the Premier League against Tottenham

Hotspur. Roberto Solado scored it and game finished 1`0. A second half

goal from Sam Winnall against Hartlepool United kept up Scunthorpe

United's chances of fighting for promotion this season. Tomorrow the

Iron face the short trip to York City.

Football fans in Lincolnshire have got a dream tie in the first round

of the FA Cup. Non`league Grimsby Town have a chance to be giant

killers against their League Two neighbours Scunthorpe United. And

Lincoln City will play Plymouth Argyle if they can beat Worcester in

a replay tomorrow at Sincil Bank. Every Saturday night on BBC One,

Grimsby has been on the Mac national spotlight on strictly come dancing.

9 million viewers have been following the progress of Kevin

Clifton and his celebrity partner, Susannah Reid. Has Grimsby caught

the Strictly Come Dancing bug? Now for our next couple. Susannah Reid

and Kevin, from Grimsby. Doing Grimsby proud again. Doing the

American smooth saw them into the next round. One words, gorgeous. It

is different from Kevin's hometown. Sometimes it can feel like Grimsby

is a long way from the ballroom but I am here to find out if any of

that's showbiz magic is rubbing off on the town. `` that showbiz magic.

I do try to bust some moves. Grimsby and Cleethorpes, it doesn't get

mentioned that often. It has always been related to fish and the

football. It makes a change for somebody flying the flag for

Grimsby. Even the players picked up some tips with this tango on the

touchline. 's John Pearson scored and they got into the spirit of

Strictly Come Dancing. How would they rate their parents on Strictly

Come Dancing so far? Kevin had time to pop home last week. I am going to

take you to my dance studio where I started training. Let's go. That

dancing mood has spread. He is brilliant. He is a credit to

Grimsby. We don't get much credit at Grimsby. I have seen one or two

people who have been following it. I know it has been quite good for 12

of the dance academies in the area. What about the ladies? While there

are no season `` signs of sequin and lycra here, there is plenty of

pride. Grimsby celebrating the success of Kevin and Strictly Come

Dancing that will continue. Their next dance is on Saturday night.

Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines.

90 mile an hour winds felled trees and cause chaos in southern

England. Four people have known to have died. Commuters from east

Yorkshire and Lincolnshire struggle to get in and out of the capital as

trains cancelled across the network. The forecast for tomorrow, sunny

with blustery showers. Feeling cooler with temperatures around 11

Celsius. We were talking about motorists

views on the speed cameras. The average speed cameras on the Peaks

Parkway. Kevin says if drivers can't stride at the speed limits, they

deserve to be fined. Alan has known this road, I conclude the new speed

cameras are about revenue raising. Stewart says it is nothing more than

a moneymaking exercise. There is a seven foot wall all along that road

and moved footpath. Which `` people should not be walking down there.

Neil says, I welcome the average speed cameras. While 30 maybe too

slow and 40 may be more appropriate. The obvious benefits is stopping

idiots speeding from one set of lights to the other. A big response

on this story. Thank you for watching. Have a nice evening.

Goodbye. This is Malcolm, who owns Iceland.

He's the one that's going to present us with

the ten grand. When we win it. You've just got to make it

as bearable Here we are in the PR nerve centre

of Iceland at the end of 96 hours

of total hell. But we haven't tested

for dog or cat either. Is this the warmest supermarket

around?
