:00:00. > :00:00.That is all from the BBC's news at six. It's goodbye from me. On BBC

:00:00. > :00:08.One we can now join the Good evening ,and welcome to BBC

:00:09. > :00:11.Look North. The headlines tonight: Calls to

:00:12. > :00:21.review hospital parking as patients start using side streets to avoid

:00:22. > :00:25.charges. I will continue to part here until they tell me that I

:00:26. > :00:27.cannot. We need the hospital, they are doing it just to make money on

:00:28. > :00:30.the parking. Who will lead the force?

:00:31. > :00:34.Lincolnshire Police have only one application for the role of Chief

:00:35. > :00:39.Constable. The situation is described as an embarrassment. You

:00:40. > :00:41.only need to look at what has happened to the officers and

:00:42. > :00:45.Lincolnshire Police to see why there is not a scramble for the job. In

:00:46. > :00:52.from the cold ` the star attractions heading to The Deep.

:00:53. > :00:59.And will it stay fine for this evening's bonfires? Stay with us to

:01:00. > :01:02.find out. There are calls tonight for a review of the hospital

:01:03. > :01:04.car`parking charges which see patients and visitors in Northern

:01:05. > :01:10.Lincolnshire and Goole paying the highest parking fees in our area.

:01:11. > :01:15.If you park in the Hospitals in Lincoln, Boston or Grantham you'll

:01:16. > :01:18.pay ?1.20 for the first hour. At Hull Royal Infirmary it's ?1.50. But

:01:19. > :01:23.in Goole, Grimsby and Scunthorpe it's ?2.50. And they're the only

:01:24. > :01:29.hospitals which now charge for disabled badge holders. Hospital

:01:30. > :01:32.managers say part of the money raised will go towards improving the

:01:33. > :01:39.car parks. Now they're being asked to look again at the charges. Emma

:01:40. > :01:41.Massey reports. Parking charges at Northern

:01:42. > :01:45.Lincolnshire and Goole Hospitals Trust almost doubled at the

:01:46. > :01:54.beginning of September. Now some councillors are demanding a review.

:01:55. > :01:58.It is another tax on health. We pay national insurance contributions for

:01:59. > :02:01.our health service. This is an organisation that is supposed to

:02:02. > :02:05.care about people who are ill and yet they charge them to go and get

:02:06. > :02:08.treatment through their vehicles in the car park. But it's not just

:02:09. > :02:15.those who need to park at the hospitals who're feeling the impact,

:02:16. > :02:18.especially in Goole. Was hospital visitors no parking their cars right

:02:19. > :02:22.outside the hospital on either side of the road to avoid the parking

:02:23. > :02:27.charges it is causing real problems for the residents of Woodland

:02:28. > :02:30.Avenue. Charlie and Amy Appleyard have lived on this street for 52

:02:31. > :02:37.years. Only since the increased charges have they had reason to

:02:38. > :02:43.complain. People will park anywhere rather than pay the fees. There was

:02:44. > :02:50.one particular person and he locked his car up across the drive. I went

:02:51. > :02:55.up to him. He said, I am entitled to park on the road. I said, not there.

:02:56. > :02:59.But those visiting the hospital feel they have no choice but to park on

:03:00. > :03:03.the road. I will continue to part here till we tell me differently. I

:03:04. > :03:10.feel sorry for the residents. They must have trouble trying to park

:03:11. > :03:15.their own cars and there is an empty car park ground there. If you need

:03:16. > :03:18.the hospital, you need the hospital. They have done this to make money on

:03:19. > :03:25.the parking. And the reason behind higher charges is now also under

:03:26. > :03:28.scrutiny. My understanding is that this will go on improvements that

:03:29. > :03:40.people will question why they are having to pay for them.

:03:41. > :03:46.In a statement, Northern Lincolnshire and Goole Hospitals

:03:47. > :03:49.Trust said... East Riding of Yorkshire Council

:03:50. > :03:52.says it plans to introduce parking restrictions immediately outside the

:03:53. > :03:55.hospital, but that may drive people into streets further afield to park

:03:56. > :04:01.their cars. Emma Massey BBC Look North.

:04:02. > :04:05.I'm joined now by Julia Manning, who is part of a group which campaigns

:04:06. > :04:13.for better health care around the UK.

:04:14. > :04:19.Good evening. Good evening. Is this just an easy way of making money? We

:04:20. > :04:22.keep coming back to this issue because no one is actually

:04:23. > :04:28.explaining well why the charges are there in the first place. So the NHS

:04:29. > :04:30.Trusts were local politicians or councillors are not actually

:04:31. > :04:38.explaining to the public why the charges there. Where does this money

:04:39. > :04:40.actually go? Good question. The hospital should be transparent about

:04:41. > :04:45.where the money is going. They should be information for the public

:04:46. > :04:50.to show exactly where the money is going, on security, on car park

:04:51. > :04:53.maintenance. What the public need to realise is that if they are not

:04:54. > :04:57.paying those car parking charges then the money for looking after the

:04:58. > :05:02.car park, maintaining facilities, comes from the NHS budget. Every

:05:03. > :05:10.pound that is spent on car parking and looking after maintenance is ?1

:05:11. > :05:16.not spent on maintenance. Of we did not pay it, that would be nurses

:05:17. > :05:25.salaries that could not be paid? So we should shut up? Most people do

:05:26. > :05:28.not realise this. NHS Trusts should be transparent about what money they

:05:29. > :05:34.raise and what it has been spent on so that they are accountable for

:05:35. > :05:38.that money. But it winds people up, especially when the year that the

:05:39. > :05:41.money will go on car parks. If people want to park their cars at

:05:42. > :05:45.hospitals then the hospitals have to find some way of paying for the

:05:46. > :05:51.facility, and it is either going to come out of the individuals's

:05:52. > :05:56.pockets, or the NHS budget. We have an NHS budget that is under

:05:57. > :06:02.unprecedented pressure over the next eight years. It will cost another

:06:03. > :06:11.?30 billion to deliver services as they are now. There simply is not

:06:12. > :06:16.that money. Everybody is looking for ways to cut money so that money can

:06:17. > :06:19.be spent on patient care. We'd like your thoughts on this

:06:20. > :06:22.story. Thank you very much. Are these hospitals being fair in

:06:23. > :06:25.raising this money to pay for improvements to car parks and

:06:26. > :06:28.patient services, or should they not charge patients and visitors to

:06:29. > :06:53.park? Who should pay for hospital car parks?

:06:54. > :07:03.In a moment: The mother found guilty of stealing more than ?350,000 from

:07:04. > :07:05.her disabled daughter. Workers facing redundancy at Tata

:07:06. > :07:08.Steel in Scunthorpe could benefit from millions of pounds of

:07:09. > :07:14.Government money to bring new jobs to the area. Almost 500 new jobs

:07:15. > :07:19.have already been created in North Lincolnshire using regional growth

:07:20. > :07:22.grants. The Council says the ?6 million it's given out in the past

:07:23. > :07:26.18 months has been "vital" to keeping the economy alive, and that

:07:27. > :07:34.it still has almost ?4 million more to spend on job creation. Anne`Marie

:07:35. > :07:37.Tasker reports. Without the Regional Growth Fund,

:07:38. > :07:44.James Griffiths says he wouldn't have his job. A ?300,000 grant

:07:45. > :07:48.helped him set up his woodwork business. He was made redundant in

:07:49. > :07:55.March. But unlike his old colleagues, he's found work in North

:07:56. > :07:59.Lincolnshire. Having that little bit of extra money has enabled me to

:08:00. > :08:04.still work relatively close to where I live, I do not have a lot of

:08:05. > :08:09.travel expenditure, whereas my former work colleagues are

:08:10. > :08:13.travelling for and wide, to Leeds, York, much further than that as well

:08:14. > :08:17.to find employment. In March, James was among the 400 people who lost

:08:18. > :08:20.their jobs at Kimberley Clark in Barton. And last week, Tata Steel in

:08:21. > :08:34.Scunthorpe announced plans to cut 340 jobs. Difficult times. We have

:08:35. > :08:38.created 500 new jobs. It was a great blow to the area, but we now have a

:08:39. > :08:42.new kit chins company that will create even more jobs. `` kitchen

:08:43. > :08:45.company. And other pots of regeneration cash

:08:46. > :08:50.are helping companies like Saxon Foods. It's taken on 173 extra

:08:51. > :08:59.workers in the last year. And it has done it using a loan from the steel

:09:00. > :09:03.industry's UK Steel Enterprise fund. In this economic climate growing a

:09:04. > :09:08.business is pretty difficult, especially buying a new factory. We

:09:09. > :09:12.called on UK Steel Enterprise to help us fund the growth. Over the

:09:13. > :09:19.last year and a half we have had about half ?1 million worth of money

:09:20. > :09:23.which has helped us refurbish this factory which has allowed us to win

:09:24. > :09:26.a lot of new business. The UK Steel Enterprise fund has helped 30

:09:27. > :09:30.businesses in North Lincolnshire in the past two years. But more than

:09:31. > :09:34.1,500 job losses have been announced at Scunthorpe's steelworks in that

:09:35. > :09:41.time. So more businesses will need to be helped before those figures

:09:42. > :09:44.can be balanced out. A mother from Grimsby has been found

:09:45. > :09:51.guilty of stealing more ?350,000 of compensation money from her own

:09:52. > :09:54.disabled daughter. 44`year`old Cathy Watson broke down in tears as the

:09:55. > :09:59.jury delivered their verdict at the end of a two`week case at Doncaster

:10:00. > :10:02.Crown Court. The Judge warned Watson that she faces a "significant" jail

:10:03. > :10:05.sentence for her distressing and serious crimes. Our reporter Jake

:10:06. > :10:18.Zuckerman was in court to hear the verdict.

:10:19. > :10:23.Cathy Watson was only 13 when she gave birth to her daughter Samantha

:10:24. > :10:28.who had cerebral palsy as a result of medical negligence. She was

:10:29. > :10:35.rewarded money in compensation which was supposed to allow

:10:36. > :10:38.round`the`clock care for her for the rest of her life. But now most of

:10:39. > :10:42.that money is gone, stolen by her own mother and father. The court

:10:43. > :10:48.heard that they were the lavish lifestyle spending money on lavish

:10:49. > :10:51.cars and jewellery and cosmetic surgery. They had requested money

:10:52. > :10:56.from the Court of protection that was supposed to have been invested

:10:57. > :11:01.in rental properties in North East Lincolnshire on Samantha's that

:11:02. > :11:09.have, but they then money themselves. `` but they kept that

:11:10. > :11:12.money. Cathy Watson broke down in tears when she was found guilty but

:11:13. > :11:21.was also acquitted of one charge of theft. The couple will be sentenced

:11:22. > :11:26.at a later date, but the judge warned Cathy Watson that she could

:11:27. > :11:35.expect a custodial sentence of some significance.

:11:36. > :11:41.Still ahead tonight: A call to arms ` the Pacific warriors lighting up

:11:42. > :11:59.Craven Park. Moving North ` the new arrivals

:12:00. > :12:03.heading for the Deep. Keep your pictures coming in.

:12:04. > :12:15.Tonight's was taken by Jordan Maxwell. The weatherman is getting

:12:16. > :12:18.excited about it. And I have an extra picture taken for you tonight

:12:19. > :12:29.by Sarah Hand. She took it on the meteor yesterday. That's not a

:12:30. > :12:39.meteor! That is a twin engined jet aircraft. I think she has been on

:12:40. > :12:46.the sherry a bit early! Can IQ the cheesy graphics.

:12:47. > :12:52.It will turn pretty windy through this evening and overnight as well.

:12:53. > :12:56.Tomorrow this waving weather front will bring at least the risk of some

:12:57. > :13:01.rain from the South West after what should be a fine start. Let's take a

:13:02. > :13:07.look at that satellite picture. That cloud eventually cleared away into

:13:08. > :13:10.the North Sea and we have some good clear spells. One or two showers

:13:11. > :13:14.have made their way into East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. If

:13:15. > :13:19.you're heading to bonfire do not forget your umbrella. A windy night

:13:20. > :13:24.to come, though, with lowest temperatures down to four or five

:13:25. > :13:29.Celsius. Perhaps three on the outskirts of Bridlington. And so the

:13:30. > :13:39.sun will rise in the morning at 7:10am. I think that we are off to a

:13:40. > :13:44.bright start first thing on Wednesday. Some hazy sunshine

:13:45. > :13:48.around, most places drive. It should stay dry during the morning, in the

:13:49. > :13:53.afternoon it clouds over, with the risk of some rain and Lincolnshire.

:13:54. > :13:56.That might make its way into East Yorkshire later in the day. Some

:13:57. > :14:00.uncertainty about the North for its progress of this rain, but it will

:14:01. > :14:05.make its way all the way across our region at least by tomorrow evening.

:14:06. > :14:14.The wind will ease the overnight temperatures, still chilly feel.

:14:15. > :14:19.Thursday looks like a much better day, most places drive and bright

:14:20. > :14:22.with some good spells of sunshine. On Friday and the weekend some

:14:23. > :14:37.bright sunny spells with a scattering of showers. That is the

:14:38. > :14:44.forecast. One viewer has asked if you're tied

:14:45. > :15:00.times are about Regional Growth Fund `` your tide times are in BST? Now,

:15:01. > :15:03.the R.N. GMT. Earlier I spoke to Richard Davies,

:15:04. > :15:06.who ran for the position of Lincolnshire's Police and Crime

:15:07. > :15:09.Commissioner last year, and asked him whether he was surprised that

:15:10. > :15:12.only one candidate had applied for the Chief Constable's job How

:15:13. > :15:16.surprising is it that there's been only one applicant for this job?

:15:17. > :15:23.Would it have been any different if you'd have been in

:15:24. > :15:30.United in front of the cameras, but it has been a trying year for the

:15:31. > :15:35.two men responsible for keeping the streets of Lincolnshire say. Back in

:15:36. > :15:39.February Neil Rhodes was suspended by Police and Crime Commissioner

:15:40. > :15:44.Alan Hardwick because of potential conflict matters.

:15:45. > :15:47.Alan Hardwick because of potential conflict The Chief constable of

:15:48. > :15:57.Greater Manchester police was asked to investigate the allegations. He

:15:58. > :16:03.was then reinstated. Our cameras were there at the first press call.

:16:04. > :16:06.We are firmly committed to improving the quality of policing in this

:16:07. > :16:18.county and I think it is important now that the story moves away and

:16:19. > :16:21.focuses once again on the investigated for his alleged role in

:16:22. > :16:27.a racial discrimination case at West Yorkshire Police. It took four

:16:28. > :16:32.months for him to finally be cleared of any accusations of misconduct.

:16:33. > :16:36.Still Mr Rhodes once the top job here. It is now been confirmed she

:16:37. > :16:39.is the only person to apply to be chief constable on a permanent

:16:40. > :16:50.basis. He will be interviewed later this month.

:16:51. > :16:53.Earlier I spoke to Richard Davies, who ran for the position of

:16:54. > :16:56.Lincolnshire's Police and Crime Commissioner last year, and asked

:16:57. > :16:58.him whether he was surprised that only one candidate had applied for

:16:59. > :17:08.the Chief Constable's job I think it is embarrassing, but

:17:09. > :17:13.senior members of the force have a huge part to play in it. You only

:17:14. > :17:15.have to look at what has happened to the senior officers in Lincolnshire

:17:16. > :17:20.Police to see why there is not perhaps a scramble for the job. Does

:17:21. > :17:25.this reflect badly on the Commissioner and the force that

:17:26. > :17:29.nobody wants the top job? I do not think it reflects badly on the

:17:30. > :17:32.force. I do not think it reflects very well on the Commissioner Ron

:17:33. > :17:40.the Commissioner's team. When you look at the way that they have

:17:41. > :17:44.handled the Chief Constable's office or the other officers, it asks

:17:45. > :17:52.questions about whether we are going forward straight way. At this stage,

:17:53. > :17:56.I would not have waited nine, nearly 12 months before making a decision

:17:57. > :17:59.on the appointment. I would want to act and make people's positions

:18:00. > :18:06.permanent very quickly. They cannot run an organisation when you are

:18:07. > :18:10.relying on most of your senior management to be on temporary posts.

:18:11. > :18:17.It is not effective. Is the Commissioner doing well? Now, he's

:18:18. > :18:23.not. The way that the morale of the police force has been impacted since

:18:24. > :18:25.November, and the way that it is being perceived outside of

:18:26. > :18:30.Lincolnshire, that is triple. The fact that the wheels have not fallen

:18:31. > :18:33.off is a tribute to the men and women of Lincolnshire Police. Do you

:18:34. > :18:43.think that Chief Constable is like working with commissioners at all?

:18:44. > :18:49.It varies around the country. It very much depends on whether the

:18:50. > :18:53.chief constables see themselves in a commissioner role prior to them

:18:54. > :18:58.starting. Neil Rhodes, he will be the only applicant as far as we

:18:59. > :19:04.know, he has had this very public falling out with Alan Hardwick, can

:19:05. > :19:07.he be effective as chief constable? He has been effective now and doing

:19:08. > :19:15.a fantastic job of delivering what the people Lincolnshire want. What

:19:16. > :19:22.you are saying is that you have a great chief constable and not a

:19:23. > :19:29.great Commissioner? Absolutely. We spoke to Alan Hardwick a short while

:19:30. > :19:32.ago and he said it would not be appropriate for him to comment while

:19:33. > :19:39.the recruitment process is still ongoing.

:19:40. > :19:41.A group campaigning for better rail services between Lincoln and

:19:42. > :19:45.Nottingham claims the line that connects the two cities is one of

:19:46. > :19:47.the worst in the UK. Business organisations and Lincolnshire

:19:48. > :19:50.County Council are lobbying the government to reintroduce an extra

:19:51. > :19:55.two trains per hour between the stations over the next five years.

:19:56. > :19:59.I think that if we can get significantly reduced journey times

:20:00. > :20:03.between Nottingham and Lincoln and that better times of day, because at

:20:04. > :20:09.the weekend it is rather a pure service, so getting people to come

:20:10. > :20:17.from Nottingham to visit Lincoln and see all of the lovely sites that we

:20:18. > :20:20.have got. The Beverley and Holderness MP

:20:21. > :20:23.Graham Stuart has asked the Government for more money for rural

:20:24. > :20:27.communities. Last night, Mr Stuart handed in a petition at the House of

:20:28. > :20:30.Commons. It's after claims that people living in rural areas earn

:20:31. > :20:37.less, pay more council tax, and receive fewer Government grants than

:20:38. > :20:41.those in towns and cities. Lots of you have been in touch with

:20:42. > :20:50.your thoughts on this issue. Rob in Hull says, "If you and focuses once

:20:51. > :20:54.again on the quality of policing. But Tracy from Bilton says, "We've

:20:55. > :20:57.been told we can't have a play park because our village is too affluent.

:20:58. > :20:59.The village hall committee and friends have desperately been

:21:00. > :21:03.organising events to raise enough money to put a park in for our

:21:04. > :21:05.children. It is ridiculous and unfair."

:21:06. > :21:08.While Basil in Woodhall Spa says, "If we poor rural folk get more

:21:09. > :21:12.central funding, it'll attract more townies to join us. Put another

:21:13. > :21:20.jumper on, dust down the push bike, stop moaning, and enjoy your

:21:21. > :21:23.countryside idyll." Rugby league fans in Hull are now

:21:24. > :21:28.looking ahead to this weekend's World Cup match at the City's KC

:21:29. > :21:31.stadium when England play Fiji. Last night it was the turn of Craven

:21:32. > :21:35.Park, where nearly 7,000 people saw Samoa progress at the expense of

:21:36. > :21:45.Papua New Guinea. Here's our sports reporter Simon Clark.

:21:46. > :21:49.Perhaps it was the fearsome nature of the Samoa Haka. Maybe it was the

:21:50. > :21:52.chill in the air. Whatever, Papua found themselves behind after only a

:21:53. > :21:56.minute. That Samoan score by Suaia Matagi set the tone for the night.

:21:57. > :22:02.At one stage the South Sea Islanders were scoring at a point a minute.

:22:03. > :22:05.Papua contributed to their own downfall, the skills of Ben Roberts,

:22:06. > :22:12.a cousin of former Everton footballer Tim Cahill, taking him

:22:13. > :22:15.clear. Loudest cheer of the night was reserved for Jessie Joe Nandye's

:22:16. > :22:34.Papua try, but it's Samoa who go marching on. We feel a bit

:22:35. > :22:43.embarrassed. We have to go away and work on it. The confidence is there,

:22:44. > :22:51.we have just got to get secure. I enjoyed it very much. When they were

:22:52. > :22:57.throwing the ball about it was good. I did not think they have been as

:22:58. > :23:00.good as they were in the past. Tension will turn here to the KC

:23:01. > :23:06.Stadium on Saturday for England against Fiji. Provided England do

:23:07. > :23:10.not mess it up they will play the losers of Samoa against France in

:23:11. > :23:18.the quarterfinals. England have been back at their training camp today,

:23:19. > :23:22.they arrive in the city on Friday. Bonfire Night celebrations are under

:23:23. > :23:25.way across our area. These are the pictures from the big bonfire at

:23:26. > :23:31.Heslam Park in Scunthorpe, which is going on right now. That's the home

:23:32. > :23:34.of Scunthorpe Rugby Club. Bonfires and firework displays are due to

:23:35. > :23:46.start shortly in Beverley Westwood, Swanland, and Brantingham Park.

:23:47. > :23:49.There are fairground rides at Sleaford Town Football Club's ground

:23:50. > :23:52.for the children to enjoy before the fireworks start at 7.30pm. And the

:23:53. > :24:03.annual celebrations in Spilsby include a Guy Fawkes competition

:24:04. > :24:07.which is going on right now. It's hoped that penguins at the The

:24:08. > :24:10.Deep in Hull will bring in thousands more visitors and more investment in

:24:11. > :24:13.conservation. A home is being specially prepared for the penguins

:24:14. > :24:16.when they arrive from Texas next year. Here's Crispin Rolfe.

:24:17. > :24:20.An antipodean aquatic attraction in Melbourne, Australia. These are

:24:21. > :24:23.Gentoo penguins, the world's speediest underwater swimming birds,

:24:24. > :24:31.and a species soon to be seen in Hull. But when they arrive in

:24:32. > :24:41.England next year they will have flown from Texas, where Hull's

:24:42. > :24:46.huddle has been captive`bred. We are really excited and keep getting

:24:47. > :24:49.updates on them. We know which ones are penguins already, we know there

:24:50. > :24:52.are traits and habits. It is nice to think that they will be here soon.

:24:53. > :24:55.The Deep is already preparing for the penguins' arrival, with the hope

:24:56. > :24:57.that this at`risk South Atlantic species will inspire youngsters and

:24:58. > :25:01.highlight global environmental issues. But this is also seen as a

:25:02. > :25:07.chance to bring in more visitors. So can penguins do for Hull, what

:25:08. > :25:10.pandas have done for Edinburgh Zoo? Numbers there are up 50% since the

:25:11. > :25:13.Chinese pandas' arrivals. And in Hull, it's hoped the Gentoo penguins

:25:14. > :25:17.will increase footfall by 10% to more than 350,000 visitors a year.

:25:18. > :25:23.First though, The Deep has got to house them. Right now it is a

:25:24. > :25:28.building site, but here is where the Penguins will live when they arrive

:25:29. > :25:32.in 2014. They will have climate control and LED lights to maintain

:25:33. > :25:36.the sort of lighting that they are used to in the South Atlantic, where

:25:37. > :25:41.they are from. And there is a room with a view across the Humber. We

:25:42. > :25:44.will give them a balcony where they can quite see then get some fresh

:25:45. > :25:48.air and ultraviolet light. There is lots of theme work wing on to make

:25:49. > :25:52.their lives interesting and exciting. So this could be their

:25:53. > :25:55.view. A far cry from the Falkland Islands from where these birds

:25:56. > :25:59.originate. But as well as boosting visitors, the hope is that they'll

:26:00. > :26:04.shine some light in Hull about the conservation challenges facing them

:26:05. > :26:08.and their world. Let's get a recap of the national

:26:09. > :26:11.and regional headlines. Police are cold in after Colchester Hospital

:26:12. > :26:14.staff say they were bullied into falsifying data on cancer patients

:26:15. > :26:16.Here, patients are parking in the streets around hospitals as new

:26:17. > :26:22.parking charges at the Northern Lincolnshire and Goole Trust hit

:26:23. > :26:25.them in the pocket. Tomorrow's weather: Mostly dry and bright in

:26:26. > :26:29.the morning. Clouding over in the afternoon with a risk of some patchy

:26:30. > :26:40.rain spreading from the South West. Maximum temperature nine Celsius.

:26:41. > :26:45.A big response on the subject of parking charges at hospitals. One

:26:46. > :26:49.viewer says, I live near Scunthorpe General Hospital, charging patients

:26:50. > :26:54.more is a joke and charging the disabled is disgraceful. Brian in

:26:55. > :27:02.Spalding said, I am sure most people do not mind paying towards charging

:27:03. > :27:07.in `` parking in hospitals, but the charges are disproportionately

:27:08. > :27:10.council charges. One viewer says that they have leukaemia and have to

:27:11. > :27:17.renew their parking tickets every week, the charges are insane. One

:27:18. > :27:25.viewer says, my mother is a nurse and she has 2p. Stop moaning get on

:27:26. > :27:29.with it. And another, if you can afford a

:27:30. > :27:35.car, you can afford a car park. And Carol says that she began working in

:27:36. > :27:38.Scunthorpe Hospital in 1966. For all the years I worked here we were

:27:39. > :27:46.promised better staff and patient parking. We are still waiting, it

:27:47. > :27:49.should be free. Have a nice evening. Be safe. Good

:27:50. > :27:53.night.
