08/02/2014 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

Much more throughout the evening on the BBC News channel. We are back

Good evening from Look North. Two men have been charged with the

murder of a man in Gainsborough. 24`year`old Ivans Zdanovics, who was

originally from Latvia, was found dead at his home in Etherington

Street after a fire last month. The men, aged 25 and 29, have also been

charged with perverting the course of justice. A 28`year`old woman also

faces a perverting the course of justice charge.

Plans to create a visitor attraction at the Humber Bridge are being

delayed because of a row over a patch of disused land. The bridge

owners need to sell the land to raise money needed to build the

Humber Bridge Experience visitor centre. But some residents in Hessle

say protecting green spaces has to come first. Anne`Marie Tasker

reports. It's already a tourist attraction in

its own right. But the owners of the Humber Bridge want to create a state

of the art visitor centre to draw in even bigger crowds. But this is

standing in the way. The Bridge Board needs to sell this former golf

course in Hessle to raise the money needed for the project. But this

land is used by the community. And at least 100 residents want it

protected as a village green, so it can never be built on. I can see the

possible advantage of the Humber Bridge Experience. But if we are

talking about local people, local people don't require very much. They

just need space. That might be a difficult one to give them. But

that's all they require. Planning permission's already been granted

for the land to be turned into a business park. A development already

underway on the other half of the site. It's predicted that will

create 3000 jobs, as well as give the Humber Bridge the chance to draw

in more tourists. As a representative of the whole

community, I have to think of everybody. And for the 100 or so

people who use it, for me, the potential of 3000 jobs for our young

people, good jobs, it is more important. And the development of

the Humber Bridge Experience too. I mean, that's going to be a lasting

legacy for all of us. Campaigners say there's already unused

industrial sites in Hessle. And that pristine green land like this could

never be replaced. Both East Riding Council and the Humber Bridge Board

say they won't comment until an independent planning inspector gives

their opinion. This month, the planning inspector

will decide what the future of this patch of land should be. But it

won't be until April that East Riding Council votes on whether it

should be developed or protected. Humberside Fire and Rescue officers

are visiting every property on the East Marsh estate in Grimsby to do

safety checks. In just nine months, crews have been called to 46 fires

in the area. The Fire Service wants to reduce the number of incidents by

helping householders identify potential risks. There are two main

issues coming out responsible for the fires, relating to cooking

incidents and smoking in the home. They are the two main causes we are

looking at and we are looking at talking to people in their home

about their behaviour around these issues and see if we can educate

people and make them safer. Football now, and Steve Bruce

returned to Sunderland today for the first time since being sacked by the

club. The home team had a man sent off early in the first half. Hull

City capitalised on their advantage. Goals from new signings Shane Long

and Nikicia Jelavic made the score 2`0 and gave the Tigers their first

league win of the year. In League Two, Scunthorpe United

took the lead through Sam Winnall against Chesterfield. But the away

side equalised on the stroke of half time. Neither side could break the

deadlock in the second half. In the Conference, Grimsby Town were

held to a goal`less draw by Southport. It was a different story

for Lincoln City. They scored in the last minute to beat Hyde. The lead

swapped hands three times before Tom Miller's winner.

In athletics, Hull sprinter Annabelle Lewis has just missed out

on a medal at the British Indoor championships in Sheffield. Lewis

ran her season's best time in the semifinal of the 60 metres before

coming fifth in the final. Grimsby's Richard Buck has qualified for the

final of the 400 metres, coming second in his semifinal. Let's get

the weather with Kay Crewdson. Hello there, good evening. Very

windy through this evening. And we are looking at showers blowing over

from the West. With us on and off as we head overnight tonight. Some

clearer skies. But where we have those showers, they could be on the

heavy side. Temperatures remain frost free and around about four or

five degrees. The breeze really quite moderate to fresh from the

south`west. As we head through tomorrow, it's a breezy start to the

day. Showers from the word go. Some of those are likely to be heavy.

Stays windy throughout the day tomorrow. The best of the sunny

spells through the afternoon. Highs of eight degrees.

That is it, we are back tomorrow evening, enjoy the rest of the

weekend, goodbye. Good evening. Unfortunately I don't

have much good news in this forecast. There may be a brief

respite later tomorrow with the wind and the rain but it will not be long

enough and we have today's storm withers, pounding
