22/11/2013 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

those words, we are unveiling a model right here in the systolic

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

Humberside's Police and Crime Commissioner is caught speeding in

Grimsby. It is disgusting, isn't it? He should be abiding by the law like

everybody else. He should be leading by example so he should be punished

like the rest of us. A woman's in hospital after being

trampled by cows during an organised treasure hunt.

The MP campaigning to get "Humberside" removed from postal

databases ` 17 years after it was abolished.

3D Doctor ` fans gather in Cleethorpes for a sell out screening

celebrating his 50th anniversary. And a chilly weekend on the cards,

we are looking at Frost and fog into tomorrow. I will be back later with

all the details. Good evening. The Police and Crime

Commisioner for the Humberside Force has been caught speeding. Matthew

Grove says he's disappointed that his driving failed to meet the

required standard after a speed camera recorded him breaking the

limit in Grimsby. He's been criticised by one driving

organisation, but says there's no question of him resigning. Crispin

Rolfe reports. I am driven to do everything I can

to make their area as safe as it can be. Matthew Grove's promise to the

people. Turns out he was in a hurry. And at Grimsby's notorious speeding

spot, Peakes Parkway. The Police and Crime Commissioner caught on camera

at 36 miles an hour in a 30 zone. Like others, he's been offered and

accepted a ?95 Speed Awareness Course instead of points. Though

just a week ago he'd been defending his deputy, who's also fallen foul

of traffic law since the pair came into office only a year ago. You

appointed a deputy with no police experience who has been caught

speeding, and also talking on his mobile phone when driving. Is that

the right example for a deputy police commissioner to set? No, and

that is why he has apologised and learned through the experience. And

today this time defending himself in a statement, Matthew Grove said: Of

course publicly elected as Police and Crime Commissioner only a year

ago, he's not the only one who'll be reflecting. It is disgusting,

really. He should be abiding by the law like everybody else. He is in

charge of the police in the city, so totally wrong. He is unlucky for

getting caught. If he is in charge he should be leading by example. He

should be punished like the rest of us. It shows he is human and the

very fact he has been offered a Speed Awareness Course which is only

given to people who are speeding inadvertently or by mistake, that

indicates what the problem is, and the problem is usually the layout or

the speed limit. So embarrassment for the man recently ranked as one

of the best Police and Crime Commissioners in England. But with

no direct influence on operational duties, resignation has been ruled

out by his office. Crispin Rolfe is in Grimsby where

Matthew Grove was caught speeding. Just how embarrassing is this for

the Police and Crime Commisioner? They are for the grace of God go

many, but on the other hand he is supposed to be the Police and Crime

Commissioner and perhaps expected, therefore, to be white. `` whites to

the light. As we have said, no one is calling for Matthew Grove's

resignation. He has gone on record as backing fewer speed cameras and

more traffic cops on the front line. The reaction on Twitter has ranged

between poetic justice to the backing from a former chief police

officer who welcomed his open admission. Thank you. In a moment:

Trains slower than the 1920s ` claims that High Speed Rail

investment will make things worse in Lincolnshire.

A woman has been seriously injured after being charged by a herd of

cows in a field near Lincoln. Sarah Leonard was taking part in a high

tech form of treasure hunting at North Scarle near Lincoln when she

was trampled on and she now is in intensive care after breaking

several bones. Simon Spark reports. Sarah Leonard is still in intensive

care in Lincoln County Hospital after almost a week. She has now had

several operations. It is hard to believe that cows in a field would

mean a day out in the Lincolnshire countryside would go so wrong. This

is the field Sarah Leonard was in with her dog, a public footpath,

there is a warning on the gate of pools, cows and calves. But however

it happened, this is where she was trampled and sustained multiple

injuries. These included both arms broken, a broken collar bone,

several broken ribs and a broken jaw. She managed to get hold of a

phone and dial 999. A community support officer called, did a

wonderful job, because from what limited information she could give,

the police officer found her. This kind of activity is the reason why

she was here. I kind of high`tech treasure hunt where people search

for hidden boxes using satellite navigation. It is a terrible shame.

When you are doing any outdoor activity, you assess the risk, and

you decide whether you want to continue or you want to step back.

When we saw the coast from two fields away, we find out how what we

thought was a safe distance can quickly change. Their

inquisitiveness soon became something much faster, so we moved.

This time we were near the entrance of the field, still fields with the

way, but this code made up her mind to head for the side of the fence.

Even those who are used to the cows had a mixed reaction. I think it is

silly, a woman and a dog on her own going across a field full of cattle.

We walk regularly around the fields, out of those cows and we do not go

through the fields. The family say they are positive and hopeful she

will make a full recovery. We will be asking for your views and

thoughts on this one. Andrew Wilson is from the National Farmers Union,

I asked him what can trigger cows to attack. It can be a number of

things, firstly, dogs can spook the cattle, and we would certainly urge

people that if they do have a dog with, to let go of it, let go of the

lead and allow the dog to run away, but people should be very wary of

cattle that have cards with them, as they are likely to be more

protective. And when riled they can be quite lively? Yes, they will

protect their young and that is why cattle would start a stampede

towards walkers. Does the farmer have an obligation to keep people

safe? The farmer does not. The former will generally put

signposting up if there was a pool in the field, but if the farmer just

have `` just has cattle and calves, it is up to the walker to make sure

there are following the best practice. We urge people to walk

around the edge of fields and to make sure they are wary of what is

around them and that they have an escape route if the cattle decide to

move towards them. This woman has a broken ribs and a jaw, it is going

to frighten people, are they going to think twice about going into a

field, and would you be happy about that? Not at all, the countryside is

open to everybody. The farmers here in Lincolnshire look after tens of

thousands of miles of public footpaths, so we encourage the

public to enjoy the countryside. There was terrible news about Sarah

Leonard, who did get trampled, and the farming community hope she makes

a speedy recovery and a full recovery. But it is best to be on

the side of caution. We do not want people to be not coming into the

countryside. It is best to be aware and to be prepared. Thank you very

much indeed. Subject to this, how difficult you

think it is for farmers to keep people safe when they are walking

across their land? Maybe you are going to be rambling through the

fields where there are cows at the weekend? You might have a view on

this one, if you do e`mail us. And very lively and busy week, thank

you for all of the messages. Friday's Look North, some more news

now. A woman in her 30s has died after

being hit by a bus in Lincoln. It happened this lunchtime on the high

street in the city. Police say she suffered a head injury and they're

appealing for witnesses. The road was shut for much of the day.

Three workers at the TATA steel works in Scunthorpe have been taken

to hospital with burns. They were injured during the night when part

of the site's power station set on fire. The workers were treated at

hospital and later released. TATA has started an investigation.

The future of libraries in Lincolnshire have been debated by

councillors this afternoon. The County Council says it hopes at

least 24 smaller libraries that were under threat of closure will be

taken over by volunteers. The authority says it'll save around ?2

million but that 35 jobs will be lost. That was one of the big issues

coming out of the consultation, how sustainable voluntary run libraries

are. We are putting substantial extra resources, the equivalent to

?250,000 worth of resources from our public health team, who are going in

there, who can provide expert advice around things like constitutions,

business plans. And we will continue to follow that story.

An East Yorkshire MP says he's unhappy that the Chief Executive of

the Royal Mail won't meet him to talk about the use of Humberside on

letters and parcels. The Beverley and Holderness MP Graham Stuart says

many of his constituents object to the term as they're from Yorkshire.

He's now started a sticker campaign to try and highlight concerns. Our

Business Correspondent Paul Murphy reports.

It is quite rare but we ever see that in East Yorkshire. Every day

across East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire, letter still arrived

wrongly addressed to North or South Humberside. For some, it is hugely

annoying. If I come across an address situation which forces me to

use North Humberside, I normally just close it down. The county of

Humberside was created in 1974, composed from East Riding, parts of

the West Riding and Lincolnshire. It HQ was in Beverley. But after years

of unpopularity, it was abolished in 1996 and replaced with four separate

authorities. The name lives on. In all sorts of places. I'm sure it

will be a huge success for Hull and Humberside more generally. This

whole thorny issue boils down to a database held by the Royal mail

which contains the Humberside word. It has been bought by hundreds of

businesses over the years. 17 years on since the abolition of

Humberside, there is still debate over whether or not it can be

deleted. Royal mail says it does not encourage businesses to use the

Humberside address. But the East Yorkshire MP Graham Stuart, who has

produced a special return to sender sticker for letters addressed to

Humberside, says Royal Mail has refused to meeting to discuss the

problem. If people in London were getting Thames side on their

letters, it would have been fixed by now. It doesn't exist. It's

Yorkshire. It hasn't been Humberside for a long time. It's not right, it

is Hull and Yorkshire. The name was never really loved, but for now at

least, it looks like those daily reminders will keep on coming

through the letterbox. Does a letter with the name Humberside on it

bother you? Would you take a sticker and send the letter back? Another

one you might want to comment on. Thank you for watching. Still ahead

tonight: Hull City's manager says he wants fans to concentrate on

football, not the club's name. 50 years since his first appearance,

fans sell out cinemas to celebrate Doctor Who.

Keep photographs coming in. Tonight's is taken of the navigation

light on the banks of the River Humber. A lovely picture, thank you

very much indeed. Another one on Monday. Good evening to you.

Long time no see. I've got an e`mail from Sheila in Bridlington. She

says, surely Peter is the inspiration for the new Jolly

Fisherman. She thinks there is a resemblance. He is a little bit

younger than you. I will get on with the forecast. It will be very nippy

on the Skegness seafront through the course of the weekend, and the cold

weather looks set to continue into next week. By tomorrow morning there

will be frost and fog. A foggy start in places, otherwise it looks cold

and dry. Fine weather on the cards, really the theme for the next few

days. At times, fairly cloudy, as high pressure builds, settled and

dry weather to come, chilly and frosty by night. A few showers

through the course of the day, you can make them out on the satellite

picture being blown in from the north`east. As we had through this

evening and overnight, there are still could be a few showers in

place. More of a further east you are, and the further south as well.

Through the night, there will be a good deal of dry weather, the cloud

will have broken. In those breaks we will see mist and fog patches

developing. Temperatures dropping below freezing out in the

countryside. The sun will rise in the morning, at 7:42am, setting

again at 3:53pm. Your next high water will be at ten minutes past

nine tomorrow morning. Through the course of tomorrow, we are looking

at quite a lot of fog to start the day, some of it will linger in

places. Otherwise it is a decent day, dry and bright with spells of

sunshine, but it will feel quite chilly out there. The breeze will be

light. Temperatures will be average for the time of year, getting up to

around six or seven degrees. Coastal parts will have the best of those

temperatures. Another frost, perhaps not quite as sharp, into Sunday. On

Sunday, the risk of catching the odd shower but generally dry conditions.

At times quite cloudy, chilly but dry with overnight frost on Monday

and Tuesday. Just having a bit of counselling

over the shock of looking like the Jolly Fisherman. Don't make it

worse. Good night. Train services in parts of

Lincolnshire were faster 90 years ago than they are today according to

campaigners. They say passengers could travel from Boston to London

half an hour quicker in the 1920s. Some fear the huge amounts being

spent on HS2 will deprive the county of transport investment. But the

company in charge of the high speed line says the whole rail network

will benefit from the ?42 billion project. Sharon Edwards has the

story. `` ?42 million. Some called the Golden age of rail

travel. This is the East Coast mainline, recreated in its 1940s

glory. Back then, Lincolnshire had a network of lines crisscrossing the

county. It was not to last. Back in the 1920s, there were around six

direct services from Boston to London most days. The whole journey

took two and a half hours. It was one of the fastest pieces of

Railtrack in the country, absolutely straight lines, running across the

Fens as it did. You had a good fast service to London. This is today's

service, passengers will pick up this train and travel to Grantham,

where they will have to change because there are no direct services

to London today. What's more, the entire journey takes just under

three hours. Passengers have mixed views on local services. 90 years

ago, there were six Derek services to London from Boston every day. And

it took half an hour quicker than it does now. That does surprise me.

It's probably because I'm not used to doing it because it is such a bad

journey. The highly expensive and controversial HS2 won't put back

what Beeching to coat. But according to an official report, it will boost

the UK economy by ?15 billion a year. And the Lincolnshire economy

by ?115 million. A fraction of that money spent on the country 's roads,

for example, and key bottlenecks on our rail network, it is scary. Some

of our rail infrastructure is over 100 years old. HS2 was not the only

game in town and for somewhere like Lincolnshire, as HS2 was built,

there will be space released on the East Coast mainline that will make

possibilities of more direct journeys between Lincoln and

London, between Hull and London, but a regional services. HS2 was a long

way down the track, and campaigners say money should be spent now to

keep Lincolnshire moving. And rural rail services will be one

of the big talking points on this weekend's Sunday Politics. Guests

include the Hull North MP Diana Johnson and the Cleethorpes MP

Martin Vickers. That's from 11am on BBC One. Sunday morning.

A big response to the news that Lincoln will appear on a national

television advert. Just a few of the many, Andy Naylor says:

thank you very much indeed for those. Hull City play Crystal Palace

in the Premier League tomorrow, with the row over the club's name is

showing no signs of going away. City's owner has offered supporters

refund if they are unhappy with plans to make them the whole Tigers.

`` Hull Tigers. It is now almost two weeks since

Hull City scored four goals against Southampton. The international break

has allowed the subject of the club's name change to come to the

fore. The owner wants to rename the club as Hull Tigers. Campaigners say

the majority of fans are against the name change. But they do not want to

end their support from the stands. A number of Internet polls have been

against it. One of the largest polls had over 3000 responses, 78% of

people against it, that is a pretty firm result. That kind of level of

opposition to the name change is something that people should pay

attention to. The boss Steve Bruce has tried to put an end to the

controversy, . We are big traditionalists, but the owner has

come in and is of a different culture. For the money he has put

into the club, if he thinks Hull Tigers is the way forward, we have

to respect it, it might not suit everybody. But for the amount of

money he earns, if they asked us to wear pink and white stripes on

Saturday, we have to do it. Without him, the traditionalists, without

him there would not be Hull Tigers or Hull City. After a defeat, the

Tigers are looking to get more points on the board as they face

Premier League strugglers Crystal Palace tomorrow. It is important to

beat the ones who are going to be around us, no disrespect to Crystal

Palace, I think they're going to be around us. We have to make sure that

we win in that respect. It turns into a very big game. It is a

crucial time. There are nine games in the next six weeks. For the

Tigers, it could determine which end of the Table Bay are looking at for

the end of the season. Scunthorpe United will play for the

first time since their manager Brian lows was sacked. The Iron will

travel to Portsmouth and will be managed on a caretaker basis by Russ

Wilcox and youth team coach Tony Daws. `` Brian Laws. It is

disappointing but we have a job to do on Saturday. The lads have had

the meeting with the chairman, and it is a case of rallying around and

making sure we are at Portsmouth on Saturday to try and come away with

three points. We have a duty to do that. Good luck to all of them. BBC

Radio Humberside will have commentary of Scunthorpe's League

One trip to Portsmouth on their AM frequency tomorrow. While on FM it's

Hull City's clash against Premier League strugglers Crystal Palace. In

the Conference Premier Grimsby face Barnet with coverage on digital and

the web. And Lincoln City host Hereford United. BBC Radio

Lincolnshire will have commentary in Saturday Sport. Kick off for all the

games is at 3pm. Tomorrow evening sees the much awaited episode of

Doctor Who celebrating 50 years of the programme, and as part of the

celebrations a special showing of the episode in Cleethorpes, which

sold out in a week. The programme features, tomorrow night, Grimsby's

John hurt. Jessica Lane has been to North East Lincolnshire to see why

Doctor Who has such an appeal. A classic family favourite for many

of us. Paul Berry's been a fan for over 30 years. And has been picking

up memorabilia for almost that long. I had this one, it is not actually

the same one I had when I was a child, but I did have this. At the

time, they weren't so popular. I think now they are one of the most

collectable pieces. It was compulsive in a way, collecting. It

becomes an addiction, I suppose. Videos and DVDs, books. He also runs

a shop selling to other sci`fi fans. And although he and some others

prefer the Doctors of the 70s and 80s, they're still talking about

tomorrow's programme. I am looking forward to it. A bit of escapism. It

will be just good to watch it again. I am scared of the Daleks. They give

you that feared. As well as being shown on BBC One in 2`D and 3`D, the

anniversary episode will be screened at cinemas around the world,

including here in Cleethorpes. Very excited, I am a long`time fan. I

remember going to see a doctor exhibition in Blackpool with my mum

and dad, and Daleks came towards us, I started crying and ran out.

Tomorrow's episode will be a real who's`who of fans' former

favourites. 10th Doctor David Tennant will appear. John Hurt

features as a doctor we've never seen before. And Zygons and Daleks

are back to fill us with fear. I am looking for the Doctor. So it's a

brand new episode, with some old favourites. And it's likely that as

people have been doing for the last five decades many will be hiding

behind the sofa again. And we can see it tomorrow night at 7:50pm on

BBC One. Good luck to Kevin and Susannah on Strictly.

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

reveal more details about the three women believed to have been kept as

slaves for 30 years in London. The couple arrested in connection with

the case had been arrested before. Humberside's Police and Crime

Commissioner is caught speeding in Grimsby ` Matthew Grove will have to

go on a speed awareness course. Tomorrow's weather: A cold but dry

day with variable, at times large amounts of cloud but sunny spells

breaking through at times. Highs of around six Celsius.

A sad story on the attack on Sarah Leonard by cows near Lincoln. A big

response, another Sarah has tweeted, I hardly think farmers

should be held accountable. Alan says dogs and cattle do not mix.

Something all dog owners should be aware of. Alex says, I am a keen

walker, and when walking across fields with cows, I take extra

care. Sarah says, how can it be a public footpath if it is not safe? A

small sign on a lamp post is not warning enough. Thank you for those,

have a peaceful weekend. I will see you on Monday. Good night.
