That is all from the News at Six. We can now | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines: The local | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
drivers that have been on the roads despite having more than 30 points | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
on their licence. I think it is a disregard for the | :00:14. | :00:21. | |
law. It disregards other users. I did not realise that people would | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
driving with all these points on their licence. They should be taken | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
off the road. An under`fire hospital admits to | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
making another major mistake. Lights could be switched off to help | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
councils save millions of pounds. If they did that, it is dangerous. | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
They need to increase the lighting. The seaside buildings that are | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
proving to be a hit for people looking for winter sun. | :00:45. | :00:53. | |
And we will have a detailed five day forecast later on in the programme. | :00:54. | :01:08. | |
Thousands of drivers who should have lost their licences many times over | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
are still on the roads. Research shows more than 10,000 people have | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
stacked up more than 12 penalty points, which should lead to a ban | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
in most cases. And it's been described as inexplicable that two | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
women ` one from Hull and one from Lincoln ` are still able to drive | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
despite having collected more than 30 points. All the authorities | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
involved deny that they are to blame for drivers slipping through the | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
net. Making sure motorists in Beverley | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
stick to the speed limit today. Those who don't and clock up 12 | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
penalty points face a ban. That's the law. So how are serial speeders, | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
some with 30 points and more, still behind the wheel. | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
Tens of thousands of people asked and play sticking two fingers up to | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
the establishment to all of us who obey the law. | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
Among those with the most penalty points in Great Britain, a woman | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
from Lincoln caught speeding three times, with 34 points. And in Hull, | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
another female driver with 31 points for six offences. And the highest | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
number of motorists caught speeding in our area was around Lincoln. | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
Almost 3,000 driver drivers have points. | :02:22. | :02:32. | |
If you're caught speeding several times in months, it takes a record | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
`` time for records to get updated, and it is that time of sharing the | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
information that motorist groups as is to blame for the problem. | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
Here in Lincoln at this awareness course the dangers of breaking the | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
limit are spelt out to those caught speeding. | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
What we want to do is protect our community and our families and our | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
children. The speed limits are set nationally and are therefore a | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
reason. It was very effective and thought`provoking. There is still | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
room for improvement. It certainly For business where driving is part | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
of the job, penalty points mean higher insurance costs. | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
Makes you think about what you would in. | :03:12. | :03:20. | |
It will be a bitter pill to swallow. When a driver has got a certain | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
amount of points, they are worried about whether they will lose their | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
job. The authorities insist that the vast | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
majority of those with 12 or more points are banned. And the DVLA and | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
the courts are upgrading their computer systems, which should help | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
to speed up the prosecutions of those who ignore the rules of the | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
road. I spoke to Richard Monkhouse, who is | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
the Chairman of the Magistrates' Association, and asked him why | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
drivers with more than 12 points were still on the road. | :03:48. | :03:55. | |
It is difficult to say. Some of it might be because they have pleaded | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
exceptional hardship, that is they have gone to the court and said that | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
it would have an effect on other people, families and businesses. | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
That is a fairly small number. I would suspect that, because most of | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
the drivers who get that level are dealt with by fixed penalties, are | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
we absolutely certain that every time a fixed penalty of three points | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
is given, but that is not simply adding onto somebody's points you | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
what over 12. Somebody watching the TV will be | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
asking how someone with more than 30 points on their licence, who will be | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
in court, why are they still driving? That is the point that | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
people do not understand. You say that they have resumed we | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
been caught. Most offences are not dealt with in court, but by a fixed | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
penalty. It is only when somebody argues the case and wants to plead | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
not guilty that they will normally come into a court, or when we know | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
that somebody is liable to be banned. Is the finger being pointed | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
at the DVLA? It is a simple system, you get to 12 points and what band. | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
That is what should happen. We need to get some analysis so we can | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
understand what it is about those people who are driving with 30 | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
points or more, or even 12 points or more, how they have got their stop | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
the DVLA will have those records. The Institute says that the drivers | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
are sticking two fingers up at the establishment. It looks like that. | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
They are going through the process, and if they go to court, the court | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
is a "ace for justice. It is up to magistrates to understand their | :05:49. | :05:57. | |
plea. In 17 years, I have been involved in it twice. | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
More than 10,000 people still driving with many points. Do the | :06:05. | :06:12. | |
authorities need to tighten up on lawbreaking drivers? Should 12 | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
points always mean a ban? Your thoughts on this one. If you want to | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
contact us, you can e`mail. We will have some comments before we | :06:20. | :06:40. | |
finish at 7pm. Two 11`year`old girls have been | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
airlifted to hospital tonight after being hit by a vehicle in south | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
Lincolnshire. It happened this afternoon on the A15 Main Road at | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
Thurlby near Bourne. Gemma Dawson is live at the scene. What is the | :06:50. | :06:57. | |
latest? As you can see, I am not too far | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
away from the scene, and this is where the road is closed. This | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
incident happened just before 4pm this afternoon on the main road. The | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
girls were walking along the road when they were hit by a vehicle. | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
They have suffered serious head injuries and have been airlifted to | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
Nottingham. The road is expected to remain shut. Time. Drivers are being | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
urged to avoid the area. This is a main route to Peter Brock, so | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
officers want to hear from anyone who saw the incident. `` Peterboro. | :07:35. | :07:45. | |
We will have more later on. Rail services between Sleaford and | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
Lincoln have been suspended until Monday because of a bank slip ` | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
which it says was caused by last month's bad weather. Network Rail | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
says it's detected movement in the railway bank at Ruskington, and are | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
laying over 2000 tonnes of stone to stabilise it. Replacement bus | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
services are in place. Trial dates have been set for June | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
for three people charged with the murder of a father of two from Hull. | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
Steven Herbert was attacked in Trafalgar Street on New Year's Day | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
and later died from his injuries. 22`year`old Samuel Jordan, | :08:17. | :08:17. | |
21`year`old Soul Humphries and 23``year`old Tiffany Clark will next | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
appear at Hull's Crown Court in March. | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
A report into a Hull secondary school has recommended it's closure | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
only a decade after it first opened. The City Council report says the | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
Endeavour High School should shut completely at the end of the next | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
academic year. There are hundreds of spare places and inspectors say the | :08:40. | :08:48. | |
school is under`performing. Lincoln County Hospital has released | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
details today of what the NHS describes as a never event. It's | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
because they should never happen. In this case surgical material was left | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
inside a patient. The hospital was put under special measures six | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
months ago because of 12 such incidents in three years. Lincoln | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
County is also struggling to reduce rates of unexpected deaths. | :09:05. | :09:18. | |
Operations on the wrong part of the body, or Medical equipment left | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
inside patients are called "never events" . | :09:23. | :09:23. | |
During the government's investigation into high death rates, | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
Lincolnshire's poor record was highlighted by the Health | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
Secretary. United Lincolnshire hospitals, where | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
there are a staggering 12 never events. | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
12 months on, there was another failing. Surgical packing left | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
inside a patient who'd just given birth. | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
It was not immediately dangerous, if it had been in there for a long | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
time, it it could have been. Board members were told that | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
action's now been taken to prevent another such incident. Fortunately, | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
it was dealt with quickly. But how well is the Trust performing | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
generally? When the Hospital Trust was put into | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
special measures last summer, 57 recommendations were made to help | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
improve care. Today, board members were told that more than 60% of the | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
most urgent ones had been implemented. Infection control is | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
still a problem area, with the trust unlikely to meet its own targets for | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
the number of C Diff cases for the year. The board was also told that | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
while unexpected death rates remain stubbornly high at Lincoln County | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
Hospital, improvements have been made at both Boston and Grantham | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
Hospitals. Managers know that to improve further they need to | :10:36. | :10:43. | |
introduce seven day working. So that it doesn't matter what day | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
of the week you come into the hospital, you will have access to | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
exactly the same services, whether that be diagnostics, support from a | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
physiotherapist. So we are doing planning work at the moment about | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
how to into juice that. But all this comes at a cost, and | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
local officials have to work out how to improve patient safety at a time | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
when they are facing spiralling debt. | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
Still ahead tonight: The new manager who's taken Scunthorpe United to the | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
top of the league. And looking to the stars, the | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
amateur astronomers hoping for clear skies tonight. | :11:29. | :11:42. | |
Tonight's photograph was taken by Simon Wright. Thank you for taking | :11:43. | :11:50. | |
that picture. Good evening. That asked some | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
e`mails about the naming of Humberside Airport. This man is | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
saying that it will only be open for a few days a week, only five minutes | :12:03. | :12:10. | |
a day. Absolutely genuine. I am dressed for work at an airport. | :12:11. | :12:18. | |
I like it when the colour goes from your face. Here is the weather for | :12:19. | :12:32. | |
tomorrow. The wind should ease, but this low pressure will bring the | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
rain eastwards on Wednesday night. If you have stargazing events, | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
tomorrow does not look bad, but there will be a lot of cloud and | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
rain tomorrow. There is a scattering of cloud on the latest satellite | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
picture. For many places, they have had a good deal of dry weather. | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
There will be one or two fleeting showers, but there will be some good | :12:57. | :13:04. | |
gaps in the clouds. It will be a frost free night. And a windy night, | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
with temperatures at seven Celsius. So the sun will rise in the morning | :13:11. | :13:18. | |
at 817 stop there will be high water in Cleethorpes. And a few showers | :13:19. | :13:26. | |
around for parts of Lincolnshire. But it will quickly push into the | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
North Sea. It looks like not too bad a day. All parts will be dry in the | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
afternoon, with some sunshine. And the wind will ease later. | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
Yesterday, the average is seven, we will be above average, with 10 | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
Celsius in Lincoln. And then the weather system that I showed you | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
will come in. Wednesday night will be wet, Thursday will be showery, | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
then it will get drier and brighter. Friday, fine during the | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
daylight hours, with some rain after dark. And the weekend will be colder | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
with a touch of frost. There is a star in the weather | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
office, but she is only there on Friday. | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
Street lights could be switched off in parts of Lincolnshire, as the | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
County Council looks for new ways to save money. Hundreds of lights have | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
already been dimmed, but now some areas could lose street lighting, | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
causing concerns about crime and road safety. | :14:30. | :14:30. | |
County Council looks for new ways to Three quarters of councils are now | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
dimming lights. Simon Spark reports from North Hykeham near Lincoln. | :14:34. | :14:43. | |
Should we consider our street lights as essential or something we can do | :14:44. | :14:51. | |
without? People here have seen their street lights dimmed. Have they | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
noticed? We did not have a clue. It has been | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
a big difference. It is one of the cost`cutting | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
measures that the council have put in place after seeing their | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
electricity bill rise by ?1 million. Now with the added pressure of | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
having to save a further ?80 million, they are questioning | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
whether they can switch some street lights off altogether. | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
We will look at them and decide, do they need to be on, do they need to | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
be on all the time at night, or can we reduce the cost by having them | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
switched off right in the middle of the night. Did they need to be on | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
between 2am and 5pm? That if the lights were turned off | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
here, what would people think then? I think that would be dangerous. If | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
they did that, that is dangerous. No, if anything, they need to | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
increase the lighting. I would not mind at all. As long as it was | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
alternate. In Nottinghamshire, they have | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
recently reversed their switch off policy. | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
One of the concerns by some residents was that there was an | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
increase in burglaries. We have to take action to ensure that would | :16:09. | :16:09. | |
stop. There has also been concern from the | :16:10. | :16:17. | |
AA and the Royal Society that the prevention of accidents. | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
Some places were completely dark. There were safety concerns. You need | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
to monitor closely the impact on road accidents and crime. | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
But the Lincolnshire Federation say it should not make much difference. | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
I don't think it will be hugely impacted, but it might have an | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
impact on the fear. There is a limit on what councils | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
can do, but now the spotlight will be on what happens next. | :16:46. | :16:53. | |
If you want to send me an e`mail or text about this, do you agree with | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
the dimming of the streetlights? Here is the e`mail address. | :16:58. | :17:10. | |
The size of your telescope doesn't matter and you can even take part | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
without one. Everyone's being encouraged to look to the night sky, | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
as the BBC's Stargazing Live programme returns in just over an | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
hour. And there are plenty of enthusiastic amateurs in this area, | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
as Gemma Dawson found out. This may look like an ordinary | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
garden shed. But, as you can see, Paul's made a few alterations. It | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
took him two days to build and he now spends many evenings here in his | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
home`made observatory in south Lincolnshire. | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
I can come out here and stare at the stars and there are so many of them. | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
Every night, they are in a different position. This thing can see so many | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
objects up there, there are not enough hours in the But you don't | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
need expensive equipment like this. Night to see anything. As part of | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
Stargazing Live we're all being encouraged to look to the skies. | :17:59. | :18:06. | |
You can go out with your eyes, look up and see a meteor shower or | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
shooting stars. For that reason, I think it is uniquely engaging | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
amongst the sciences. I have in my hand a piece of outer | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
space. Michael's love of the night sky | :18:19. | :18:27. | |
began as a boy. This is a meteorite that originated from an asteroid. He | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
is a keen stargazer and has applied to be one of the first residents on | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
Mars and thinks that space exploration will accelerate | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
throughout the next 20 years. Many people will see us take our | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
first steps of this planet. It is a privileged time to live. | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
In the future, what stargazers will be able to see could be even more | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
exciting. Yes, a big night tonight. | :19:00. | :19:07. | |
And if you want to see Stargazing Live, it's on BBC Two at 8pm with | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
Professor Brian Cox and Dara O Briain. They're at the Jodrell Bank | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
Observatory. A large response to our story on the | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
campaign to re`name Humberside Airport, John Harrison Airport ` a | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
clockmaker from North Lincolnshire who changed the way we navigate | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
around the world. 300 years ago, he discovered a way for ships to use | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
his clocks to work out their position at sea. Now the John | :19:29. | :19:30. | |
Harrison Foundation, which promotes his achievements globally, wants his | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
name used by the local airport. Well we had lots of suggestions from | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
you about what the airport should be called ` here are just a couple of | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
them Meg Smith says, I've never heard of John Harrison, but if they | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
want to change it, then my choice is Amy Johnson ` she's better known | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
around here. Mr Gardener says, I think an appropriate name would be | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
William Wilberforce. He's known all over the world. And Joe says | :19:55. | :19:56. | |
Humberside Airport should definitely be renamed. "It's ridiculous how | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
long we've had to put up with this H`word nonsense." | :20:01. | :20:10. | |
Scunthorpe United's new manager could be in line for a top award, | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
just weeks after taking the job. Russ Wilcox has been nominated for | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
the Manager of the Month award after guiding the Iron to six wins from | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
the last eight games, which has put them top of League Two. Phillip | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
Norton has been to find out how he's settling into the role. | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
Another day, another training session for a club that's becoming | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
known for its emergency managers. This side of it is the biggest | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
change. The day`to`day running of the club is very similar. So it is | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
really just the media side. It is enjoyable, because we are winning | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
Most of them, in fact. Football matches. The Iron are now | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
two points clear at the top of League Two. But it's not the first | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
time a new manager has had a wonder touch Back in 2006, after a previous | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
sacking of Brian Laws, a certain physio called Nigel Adkins took the | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
helm. As fans sang "Who needs Mourinho, we've got our physio", he | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
took the club to the Championship. And this season's top scorer, the | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
aptly named Sam Winnall, says Russ brings belief to the team. | :21:10. | :21:18. | |
I think the biggest thing he has brought is positivity. He believes | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
in us and believe that we are good enough to get promoted, and that | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
belief in us has given us confidence. | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
So, we will find out a bit more about him. | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
I like to have a night in with my family. I like to have an adventure | :21:35. | :21:42. | |
break. Fish and chips. Pop music. I will have a bag of sweets. | :21:43. | :21:50. | |
He has got the weather right today. A trip to the dentist. | :21:51. | :21:58. | |
I am quite boring, it is family life. Football is 20 47. My son does | :21:59. | :22:09. | |
rugby and my daughter does netball. So it is a taxi service at home. | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
And the meter's running in the hot seat for this busy family man ` the | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
destination's hopefully a one way trip to League One. | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
In tonight's football, Lincoln City play Alfreton in the Conference. | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
Commentary will be on BBC Radio Lincolnshire. Kick off is at 7.45pm. | :22:27. | :22:33. | |
The first lock of hair that began the | :22:34. | :22:43. | |
# Belonged to Hull city's player has been sold for a lot of money. The | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
money raised will be given to Cancer Research UK. Tom has had a lot of | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
publicity, well done to him. The recent extreme weather has meant | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
that one of the area's seal sanctuary's is now full with rescued | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
seals. Natureland in Skegness say they are caring for 16 seals. They | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
would normally expect three or four at this time of year. They blame the | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
floods and strong winds that have hit the coast in recent weeks. | :23:09. | :23:17. | |
We started off with the high tides and the flooding at the beginning of | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
September, which displaced a lot of the baby seals, and they have found | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
their way into the area and have been washed up on the shoreline. | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
Wheels have seals that were born during summer, and they are being | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
washed up on the sandbanks and the beaches. | :23:37. | :23:37. | |
Final rehearsals are taking place ahead of the BBC pantomime, Mother | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
Goose, featuring staff from Look North and Radio Humberside. Some | :23:42. | :23:43. | |
tickets are still available for the performances, which are next | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
Thursday in Cleethorpes and the following Saturday and Sunday in | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
Hull. All proceeds go to Children in Need. | :23:50. | :23:57. | |
They are shelter from the wind and rain with a kettle and a deck` chair | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
and Bridlington's beach`huts are all fully`let in January. There's even a | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
waiting list of people who want to rent one next winter. Amanda White | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
went to find out why they are in demand, and what people do in them! | :24:08. | :24:16. | |
Surely there is nothing better than a bracing walk on the beach on a | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
winter's day. Or, maybe there is, because you can enjoy all of this | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
from the comfort of a beach hut. It is beautiful. It just goes on for | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
miles. It is just peaceful. Donna decided to rent of this | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
property for the entire winter, so she can get away from it all and | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
teach her to playing new instruments. | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
In the school holidays, I work. I work all the time, so I don't have | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
any time to myself stop I do odd jobs in the winter, painting and | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
decorating. I come down here. It is ideal for me and the children. | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
Donna is not alone in seeing the appeal of a beam `` winter beach | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
hut. I had one last winter. On a sunny | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
day, it is nice to come down. You can have a cup of tea or a hot | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
chocolate after having a walk on the beach. | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
Dick B is a recent joys of a winter beach hut. I often bring a kayak | :25:26. | :25:36. | |
down. So I use this as my base. I call it a seafront apartments. | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
And where better to have one? I love that. If you have a story you | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
think we should know about, send it in to us. | :25:49. | :25:59. | |
It is 6:55pm. The headlines: Storms continued to batter Britain and | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
there is more to come. More than 100 flood warnings are in place tonight. | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
And to 11`year`old girls have been airlifted to hospital with serious | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
head injuries after being hit by a vehicle in South Lincolnshire. | :26:14. | :26:21. | |
Tomorrow, it will be a risk of some showers and wind, but otherwise dry, | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
with temperatures at 10 Celsius. The story of the 211`year`old girls | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
in Lincolnshire, we will have more on that tomorrow. `` on the two | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
girls who are 11 years old. We are talking about the number of | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
drivers who have 12 points or more, but still driving a stop to people | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
in the area are still driving. One man says, what... 12 points on your | :26:53. | :27:03. | |
license and you should be jailed if you continue driving. Another e`mail | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
says, driving licences should have bar codes on them so they can be | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
updated more quickly. Another e`mail says, this is poor management, with | :27:13. | :27:20. | |
people not talking to each other. How can someone with 12 points get | :27:21. | :27:22. | |
more? Another e`mail, not only should | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
someone not be driving with 30 points, they should be in prison. | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
And another person on Twitter, of course they should be banned with 30 | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
points. The people should think before they act. | :27:37. | :27:42. | |
Join me tomorrow, if you can. Have a good evening. Good night. | :27:43. | :27:53. | |
A tenth of a second could be the difference | :27:54. | :28:12. |
