:00:00. > :00:11.Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight. A

:00:12. > :00:17.flood expert says some land beside the Humber should be abandoned to

:00:18. > :00:22.the sea. The local council says communities need protected. However

:00:23. > :00:25.small, these communities are important and we will fight to make

:00:26. > :00:31.sure they have the best defence possible. I'm live in the village of

:00:32. > :00:34.built and where woman has been left terrified following a robbery at

:00:35. > :00:37.this post office. Businesses in a Lincolnshire town are told to remove

:00:38. > :00:41.advertising boards from the streets or face legal action.

:00:42. > :00:43.And the centuries`old tradition that's under threat in a

:00:44. > :00:49.Lincolnshire village. Another mild day tomorrow. I'll be

:00:50. > :01:04.back with the rest of the details. A flooding expert says villages

:01:05. > :01:07.beside the Humber ` swamped by recent floods ` are unlikely to get

:01:08. > :01:12.improved flood defences, and some land should even have to be

:01:13. > :01:16.abandoned to the sea and rivers. Last night people in the village of

:01:17. > :01:19.South Ferriby ` where 120 homes were flooded in December ` demanded

:01:20. > :01:21.answers from the Environment Agency about when flood defences and

:01:22. > :01:28.warning systems would be upgraded, but they say they were given few

:01:29. > :01:32.assurances. Nationally, one in six properties is at risk of flooding.

:01:33. > :01:36.5,800 homes have flooded in Britain since December. Despite all the

:01:37. > :01:39.political arguments, research shows spending on flood defences has not

:01:40. > :01:45.fallen or risen significantly in the past decade. I'll be speaking to the

:01:46. > :01:52.expert in coastal flooding who says some land should be abandoned.

:01:53. > :01:55.First, Sarah Corker reports. December's tidal surge was much

:01:56. > :01:58.higher and more powerful than anyone predicted. Communities on the banks

:01:59. > :02:07.of the Humber, like South Ferriby, were flooded in a matter of minutes.

:02:08. > :02:10.We have bank would go up to the top of the village. After the storm come

:02:11. > :02:16.the questions. Will there be any money to improve defences here? For

:02:17. > :02:23.the last decade, the policy has been that they will protect properties.

:02:24. > :02:26.Communities like this one are important, and we are going to do

:02:27. > :02:29.the best we can to fight to make sure they have the best defence. In

:02:30. > :02:32.England, more than five million properties are at risk of flooding

:02:33. > :02:38.Since December 2013, flood schemes have defended more than 1.3 million

:02:39. > :02:43.homes and businesses. But there's not enough money to help everyone.

:02:44. > :02:52.Treasury rules state every pound of investment in defences must produce

:02:53. > :02:57.at least ?8 of economic benefit. The system to calculate the cash looks

:02:58. > :03:01.are a couple of things including the number of properties at risk and

:03:02. > :03:07.also the number of deprived households. Cities like Hull will

:03:08. > :03:10.always do better than smaller communities along the Humber. An

:03:11. > :03:16.issue put to the Environment Agency at a heated public meeting in South

:03:17. > :03:20.Ferriby last night. The government has made some money available

:03:21. > :03:22.straight for repairs and we are already on with those repairs.

:03:23. > :03:26.Beyond that we will have to look into the strategy to try and find

:03:27. > :03:31.out where the funding will come from. At a women's group today,

:03:32. > :03:36.residents told me they want public money shared more equally. There is

:03:37. > :03:40.more people in a tone, but I don't think they should get more

:03:41. > :03:47.protection. We all need protecting. But Silvia lives in Barton and has a

:03:48. > :03:51.different argument. They've built a terrific amount of homes down on the

:03:52. > :03:56.river bank, but there are hundreds of people down there now. You have

:03:57. > :03:59.to have a bit of sense. This has been the saviour of our town. And

:04:00. > :04:11.that's because just three miles down the road... The authorities now face

:04:12. > :04:14.tough decisions. I spoke to Professor Rob Duck who specialises

:04:15. > :04:17.in coastal flooding at Dundee University. I started by asking why

:04:18. > :04:22.he believes that some land should be abandoned? That's quite a difficult

:04:23. > :04:26.question. I think we've got to look at what we've done to land in the

:04:27. > :04:31.past, particularly land we have claimed from the sea, maybe

:04:32. > :04:34.centuries ago, that was once naturally flooded by the sea, we

:04:35. > :04:41.have to look at where it should be returned to the state it was

:04:42. > :04:45.originally in. If you live in a small village, what chance have you

:04:46. > :04:49.got of getting better protection? If you live in a small village, in a

:04:50. > :04:55.vulnerable area, it is really very difficult indeed. We've got to look

:04:56. > :04:59.at the nature of the flood protection, and that does not

:05:00. > :05:09.necessarily mean it is in bank on this. We have to look at moving to

:05:10. > :05:13.areas that were once flooded but no agricultural land is no longer

:05:14. > :05:18.flooded in order to protect small villages in these vulnerable areas.

:05:19. > :05:24.Will people who live in small places like this have to fend for

:05:25. > :05:29.themselves, have their own stack of sandbags? I think it might be that

:05:30. > :05:33.they have to fend for themselves to a certain extent but I think what

:05:34. > :05:40.they should be able to expect is better flood warning systems in

:05:41. > :05:44.place so that they are aware of when tidal surges are going to take

:05:45. > :05:55.place. It seems like Mrs versus country. `` town versus country. I

:05:56. > :05:58.hope it is not like that but clearly with big cities like Hull that need

:05:59. > :06:04.to be protected, we need to look at the nature of the land that we may

:06:05. > :06:07.perhaps return to flooding. If it is largely agricultural land it can

:06:08. > :06:16.hopefully be done with the minimum of disruption to human lives. Thank

:06:17. > :06:20.you for joining us. Should some land be abandoned if it's too expensive

:06:21. > :06:21.to protect or should we protect all homes regardless of the cost? You

:06:22. > :06:39.can e`mail us. In a moment: The Lincolnshire farmer

:06:40. > :06:42.leading the aid effort for farms flooded in the South. The death of a

:06:43. > :06:45.22`month`old girl in Hull is being treated as unexplained. She was

:06:46. > :06:49.taken by ambulance from this house in west Hull to the city's Royal

:06:50. > :06:53.Infirmary but died a short time later. A man and a woman ` both aged

:06:54. > :06:57.20 ` were arrested in connection with her death, and have been

:06:58. > :07:00.released on bail. Police say a postmistress from East Yorkshire has

:07:01. > :07:04.been left terrified after her shop was robbed by two men armed with a

:07:05. > :07:07.sledgehammer. They smashed their way through the reinforced screen that

:07:08. > :07:19.was supposed to protect her at Bilton Post Office. Leanne Brown is

:07:20. > :07:23.in Bilton, how is the postmistress? As you would expect the shutters

:07:24. > :07:30.have been down all day. Although she was not injured it could be some

:07:31. > :07:33.time before she recovers. I'm told it was two men wearing balaclavas

:07:34. > :07:40.and camouflage jacket that went into the shop with a sledgehammer and

:07:41. > :07:43.smashed on the protective glass. She had already cashed up but they left

:07:44. > :07:50.with the contents of the coin dispenser. They came away with a

:07:51. > :07:55.small amount of cash ` and left behind a frightened community. She

:07:56. > :07:59.was terrified when we got here. She is quite shaken this morning. She is

:08:00. > :08:03.not injured but they have used force to smash the glass. Everybody is

:08:04. > :08:06.surprised when something happened like this. It's left the owner of

:08:07. > :08:13.the hairdressers next door worried about the safety of her staff. I

:08:14. > :08:19.feel vulnerable. I've got young girls in here, you never know. We've

:08:20. > :08:24.just thought about it and I said make sure you keep the doors

:08:25. > :08:28.locked. Don't put yourself in that position. And for those who live

:08:29. > :08:31.here ` shock that something like this could happen in their village

:08:32. > :08:35.Police have been conducting an area search today to gather as much

:08:36. > :08:38.evidence as possible. It is scary for some people. You have to think

:08:39. > :08:43.twice about what is going on, look out for each other. It is a quiet

:08:44. > :08:49.little village. They will be devastated.

:08:50. > :08:56.They say the best thing they can do for the victim is to catch the men

:08:57. > :08:58.who did this. This is a very close`knit village and a

:08:59. > :09:02.spokesperson for the Post Office has said today, "Any robbery is not only

:09:03. > :09:05.traumatic for those involved but is also an attack on the local

:09:06. > :09:17.community ` and they're asking anyone who may have seen something

:09:18. > :09:20.to come forward. Thank you. And detectives in North Lincolnshire are

:09:21. > :09:23.trying to trace a man who's thought to be responsible for two armed

:09:24. > :09:27.robberies at the same shop. The man carrying an umbrella and small black

:09:28. > :09:31.gun went into the One Stop Shop on Eton Court in Scunthorpe last night

:09:32. > :09:34.` but left empty`handed. Two weeks ago, it's thought a man robbed cash

:09:35. > :09:38.from the same store. A new tunnel could be dug under the Humber to

:09:39. > :09:41.carry a gas pipeline to supply a large part of Britain. National Grid

:09:42. > :09:45.wants to replace the existing pipeline under the river ` which is

:09:46. > :09:48.in a 30`year`old trench that is being washed away by strong tides.

:09:49. > :09:53.Work on the tunnel between Paull and Goxhill could start in 2017.

:09:54. > :09:55.Shopkeepers are standing firm against threats to confiscate their

:09:56. > :10:00.advertising boards from outside their businesses. The town council

:10:01. > :10:03.in Stamford in Lincolnshire says signs ` which often obstruct

:10:04. > :10:07.pavements ` are dangerous and illegal. But traders say they're a

:10:08. > :10:17.vital way to attract shoppers in tough economic times. Here's our

:10:18. > :10:20.business correspondent, Paul Murphy. High streets are competitive places

:10:21. > :10:23.and for many businesses putting out the board is part of the morning

:10:24. > :10:27.routine. But here in Stamford their proliferation is dividing the town.

:10:28. > :10:34.The council wants rid of them ` businesses are furious. Ridiculous.

:10:35. > :10:39.We put something on the Facebook page and we had so much response

:10:40. > :10:45.saying how ridiculous this is. It just seems very aggressive. We would

:10:46. > :10:48.like to have a conversation about it rather than just a nasty letter.

:10:49. > :10:51.Stamford Town Council's letter says it's had numerous complaints about

:10:52. > :10:54.the increasing number of boards and other advertising clutter. It says

:10:55. > :10:57.the boards are illegally placed items in hazardous locations and

:10:58. > :11:00.warns the owners can face legal action if the boards cause an

:11:01. > :11:03.accident. The council says enforcement action could include

:11:04. > :11:08.collection and removal of the obstruction. Kathleen is partially

:11:09. > :11:12.sighted and among those who've complained ` a trip to town, she

:11:13. > :11:23.says, is like going on an obstacle course. You're frightened of running

:11:24. > :11:27.into them, because sometimes you might go down the high Street and

:11:28. > :11:30.somebody has put one out that you don't know about. Then I would not

:11:31. > :11:35.see it. Retailers now have about two weeks to get rid of their boards.

:11:36. > :11:38.None from Stamford Town Council wanted to be interviewed or give a

:11:39. > :11:41.statement. But their letter to retailers says that boards are in

:11:42. > :11:47.potential breach of the highways act and they intend to clear the

:11:48. > :11:50.streets. Local businesses accept that the law forbids obstructing the

:11:51. > :12:03.highway ` but say it is possible to use boards if everyone is sensible

:12:04. > :12:07.about it. I think the traders will cooperate. If we can agree some sort

:12:08. > :12:15.of code, then everyone would know where we stood. Then we can police

:12:16. > :12:18.ourselves. We will look into the insurance and

:12:19. > :12:21.make sure we're covered but we will stick together and if they want to

:12:22. > :12:30.take them away we're not going to let them. Revolt? Yes. Picturesque

:12:31. > :12:36.market town or not, an ugly battle could be looming. I asked retail

:12:37. > :12:43.expert Kate Hardcastle if shops gained any benefit by putting out

:12:44. > :12:46.signs. Everybody is trying to do everything they can in retail at the

:12:47. > :12:55.moment to boost sales, to attract attention, to scream to the buyer,

:12:56. > :12:59.please you as `` please use us, but one thing I can tell you if there

:13:00. > :13:02.are far better methods used by retailers that are doing wonderful

:13:03. > :13:10.jobs and wonderful results, someone like John Lewis, not relying on

:13:11. > :13:15.promotional boards. You mention there are better ways. What kind of

:13:16. > :13:19.ways? Working as a retailer, the best way to do it is not to shout in

:13:20. > :13:28.a football crowd, if that makes sense. By putting a board out there

:13:29. > :13:31.and hoping for passers`by to be attracted, it is difficult to

:13:32. > :13:35.attract an audience when they are so wait. It is better to work out who

:13:36. > :13:40.your customer is and when you have done, appealed to them in a language

:13:41. > :13:45.and communication that gets to them, via e`mail lists, social

:13:46. > :13:51.media, perhaps by doing events within the store. They work from

:13:52. > :13:56.time to time but the more there are, the more crowded the message. Has

:13:57. > :14:01.the council got this wrong? The council has sent out a very negative

:14:02. > :14:05.letter and it challenges. The retailers think they need to do

:14:06. > :14:10.something and times are hard. They need business. If the council had

:14:11. > :14:13.gone in and said obviously for health and safety reasons for

:14:14. > :14:16.somebody walking down the street, with a wheelchair or a pushchair,

:14:17. > :14:22.they have challenging things to negotiate, this is difficult, but

:14:23. > :14:25.what we can do is offer support in other ways. Then you can list the

:14:26. > :14:30.ways. You can work with the retailers. You will get a far better

:14:31. > :14:38.response than sending out a negative letter. What do you think? Get in

:14:39. > :14:41.touch. Still ahead tonight: Why Steve Bruce is unhappy about Hull

:14:42. > :14:46.City's FA Cup replay against Brighton. And the centuries`old

:14:47. > :14:54.tradition that's under threat in a Lincolnshire village.

:14:55. > :15:05.Stunning picture of the evening sky at Swanland taken by John Wharam.

:15:06. > :15:12.It has been a dry day today. It is quite nice to see after all the rain

:15:13. > :15:15.we have had. I need to get running again. I am behind on my training.

:15:16. > :15:25.You and me both. We need to practice. I have a personal best in

:15:26. > :15:29.eating chocolate. The next couple of days and not look too bad. It is not

:15:30. > :15:33.too cold out there. Moving into Thursday, it gets a bit more

:15:34. > :15:36.unsettled and windy over the course of the weekend, although it would be

:15:37. > :15:40.quite nice if there was a bit of a breeze. Tomorrow is a bit of a grey

:15:41. > :15:46.start. It will brighten up nicely through the afternoon. You can see

:15:47. > :15:50.from the pressure chart, it is not particularly breezy out there. A

:15:51. > :15:55.light breeze. You will have to wait till Thursday for it to pick up.

:15:56. > :16:02.Looking at the satellite picture, we have variable cloud, some of it is

:16:03. > :16:08.thick enough to produce showers. The showers will tend to use a way,

:16:09. > :16:11.becoming largely drive. `` die away. There will be some breaks in the

:16:12. > :16:20.cloud and we will see some patchy rain developing. The sun will rise

:16:21. > :16:28.in the morning at 7:13am, setting at 5:19pm. Tomorrow morning, bit of a

:16:29. > :16:34.grey start to the day, low cloud about but it will tend to left. The

:16:35. > :16:38.greatest risk of catching a shower is first thing this morning but it

:16:39. > :16:45.will be a dry day, brightening up nicely into the afternoon. Some

:16:46. > :16:51.bright or sunny spells. It will go up to about ten or 11 degrees.

:16:52. > :16:57.Similar values tomorrow. It will be up to 50 Fahrenheit. Feeling pretty

:16:58. > :17:01.springlike out there. As we move into Thursday, the breeze will

:17:02. > :17:06.pick`up, it will be breezy with outbreaks of rain spreading in from

:17:07. > :17:10.the west. It will get wetter as the day goes on. Blustery at the weekend

:17:11. > :17:20.with a fair few showers on Saturday. We will do a marathon. We

:17:21. > :17:27.can do it. We need to start training. See you soon. A

:17:28. > :17:31.Lincolnshire farmer has taken on the job of leading the aid effort for

:17:32. > :17:34.farmers whose land is under water in the West Country. Farmers across

:17:35. > :17:37.Britain have been sending animal feed and bedding to parts of

:17:38. > :17:40.Somerset which have been cut off for weeks. Andrew Ward from Leadenham

:17:41. > :17:43.near Grantham was asked by the government to run the relief effort.

:17:44. > :17:52.Here's our rural affairs correspondent, Linsey Smith. Carrots

:17:53. > :17:57.and hey, I welcome meal for the flood hit animals of Somerset. Much

:17:58. > :18:03.of this has been donated by farmers in Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire.

:18:04. > :18:08.Andrew Ward was directing aid to the most needed. It is absolutely tragic

:18:09. > :18:12.when you see the water and what they are having to go through. We all

:18:13. > :18:16.have water and problems in farming, it is one big risk management

:18:17. > :18:23.operation, but you cannot imagine what they are going through with the

:18:24. > :18:28.families and emotionally. Last year, the charity helps farmers affected

:18:29. > :18:38.by heavy snow in England and Wales. He was initially invited to advise

:18:39. > :18:43.government ministers but this week he has got hands`on. Seems like this

:18:44. > :18:47.went on throughout the day. Our animals are literally knee deep in

:18:48. > :18:54.their own mess. It is a godsend. Now they can have tidy bets. There was

:18:55. > :18:59.not this level of flooding years ago because water management was totally

:19:00. > :19:04.different. Do we want to feed the nation? Do we want to look after

:19:05. > :19:08.people? Are we going to forget about human beings and look after

:19:09. > :19:15.wildlife? As pumping continues, Ed Miliband was the latest politician

:19:16. > :19:21.to visit. For Andrew it is not politics but pulling together that

:19:22. > :19:25.is important. Two paintings by Yorkshire`born artist David Hockney

:19:26. > :19:28.are to go on sale. Room With A View is of Bridlington ` where the artist

:19:29. > :19:31.has a house and studio. It's been valued at between ?150,000 `

:19:32. > :19:38.?200,000. The second work called Tyger is expected to reach between

:19:39. > :19:41.?40,000 ` ?60,000. The Red Arrows have revealed a new tail fin design

:19:42. > :19:44.` to celebrate their 50th display season. The engineers ` known as the

:19:45. > :19:47.Blues ` unveiled the new`look aircraft at RAF Scampton near

:19:48. > :19:51.Lincoln. It features the union flag and is the most significant change

:19:52. > :20:01.to the colour scheme in the team's history. I always had this idea for

:20:02. > :20:04.a union Jack on the tail but it was colleague that came up with the

:20:05. > :20:10.final design and I was really impressed with it. If you look at

:20:11. > :20:15.the detail, it has the aircraft. It really captures the spirit of the

:20:16. > :20:18.past 50 years. Hull City manager Steve Bruce says it's ridiculous

:20:19. > :20:21.that UEFA has forced the club's FA Cup replay with Brighton, which is

:20:22. > :20:24.to be held next Monday. Europe's governing body doesn't want a clash

:20:25. > :20:32.with their Champions League competition. They sounded like they

:20:33. > :20:40.had plenty to celebrate but in truth their side had salvaged a replay

:20:41. > :20:46.from this game. The Championship side went ahead with this. Seconds

:20:47. > :20:50.later, Curtis Davies hit the bar, one of two chances off the woodwork.

:20:51. > :20:56.Steve Bruce must've thought the cup run was over, when five minutes from

:20:57. > :21:05.time, they equalised. Now they have a replay on Monday, as UEFA Cup band

:21:06. > :21:09.televised games as the same `` at the same time as the Champions

:21:10. > :21:14.League. I find it ridiculous. I have to tell you. Surely we could play on

:21:15. > :21:21.the same night at the Champions League. You would have thought. I

:21:22. > :21:25.think it is a UEFA rule. UEFA rules that nobody plays on the night of

:21:26. > :21:31.the Champions League. We have to take it as it is and deal with it as

:21:32. > :21:36.it comes. Those who faced the journey back to Yorkshire had

:21:37. > :21:41.something to cling onto. We didn't deserve it but they pay the fans

:21:42. > :21:46.back. The replay is on. We are still in the cup. Replay. Of course, but

:21:47. > :21:52.that is all right. Hopefully we can win at home. What a hectic week for

:21:53. > :21:59.Hull City, who play Cardiff City on Saturday, before that cup replay on

:22:00. > :22:04.Monday. Where the wheel of Fortune will spin for Hull City or writing

:22:05. > :22:07.as they bid for a place in the quarterfinal. Grimsby Town are in

:22:08. > :22:10.action in the Conference Premier tonight The Mariners travel to

:22:11. > :22:15.Barnet. Kick`off is at quarter to eight, with build up on BBC Radio

:22:16. > :22:18.Humberside now. She's one of this area's most successful sportswomen,

:22:19. > :22:21.and today England cricket star Arran Brindle has spoken of her decision

:22:22. > :22:24.to retire. The 32`year`old announced yesterday that she wouldn't join the

:22:25. > :22:27.team's tour of Bangladesh, and would instead focus on family and her

:22:28. > :22:43.teaching career. But, as she told Crispin Rolfe, she's enjoyed her

:22:44. > :22:53.time at the top. It was very special. Not just winning the test

:22:54. > :23:03.but scoring runs was great. Ashes victory this winter is built on the

:23:04. > :23:08.batting of Arran Brindle. For this cricketer, beating Australia home

:23:09. > :23:15.and away was her final hurrah. She has called time. It is the fact that

:23:16. > :23:19.it is 15 years. You go through life with different challenges, things

:23:20. > :23:27.that keeps you inspired. I am at that stage, with my teaching and my

:23:28. > :23:33.family. England's loss is Lincolnshire's game. She is still

:23:34. > :23:38.keen to support local talent. They have put a massive amount of sport

:23:39. > :23:45.money in. To benefit from that shows the standard that can be achieved.

:23:46. > :23:53.Not all of her achievements have been about cricket. In 2012, she

:23:54. > :24:00.carried the Olympic torch. The chances are that her tone will still

:24:01. > :24:03.carry a torch for her. `` town. They're men ` and women `

:24:04. > :24:06.brandishing sticks, bells and handkerchiefs. Morris dancers are an

:24:07. > :24:09.English tradition dating back 600 years. But a group near Grantham in

:24:10. > :24:12.Lincolnshire has started an urgent recruitment drive to find new

:24:13. > :24:24.dancers in time for its summer performances. Simon Spark has been

:24:25. > :24:31.along to a practice section. There is something about Morris dancing

:24:32. > :24:40.that lifts the spirit. Jolly music, jingling bells, waving handkerchiefs

:24:41. > :24:44.and rhythmic stick knocking. No wonder the appeal dates all the way

:24:45. > :24:49.back to the 15th century. When you're dancing, it feels like you've

:24:50. > :24:56.got the world at your feet. You are something else, you are a superior

:24:57. > :25:08.being. Another superior being is Ashley Jones, who talks us through

:25:09. > :25:15.one of the dancers. Then we do this. It is a strange movement. These

:25:16. > :25:19.Morris dancers have troubled minds behind the smiles. They are worried

:25:20. > :25:24.about how long they can keep their group going. As long as we have

:25:25. > :25:27.enough people to dance. To be able to dance fully through the summer we

:25:28. > :25:33.really need more people, we need younger people as well to keep the

:25:34. > :25:38.side going. To compare it with football, you need 11 players for a

:25:39. > :25:44.team, you need six dancers for a dance. They have enough at the

:25:45. > :25:48.moment but there is no new ones coming through. We are worried. It

:25:49. > :25:54.is a tradition, if you have injury or illness we cannot even turn up

:25:55. > :25:59.and do it, because we haven't got enough people. They have had one

:26:00. > :26:07.recruit recently, Jimmy, he is now in his second week. He is learning

:26:08. > :26:12.his robes, and sticks. In six years I might be able to do it. If you

:26:13. > :26:16.fancy a way to keep warm without the heating bills and keep fit, and you

:26:17. > :26:19.don't mind looking the part, this is it. Your new destiny, keeping a

:26:20. > :26:31.tradition alive. Let's get a reach of the national

:26:32. > :26:36.and regional headlines. Inflation falls below the Bank of England

:26:37. > :26:39.target for the first time in four years. Swamped by the recent tidal

:26:40. > :26:43.surge ` now a flood expert says some land beside the Humber should be

:26:44. > :26:47.abandoned to the sea. Tomorrow's weather will be a cloudy start with

:26:48. > :26:52.a risk of a shower. It should brighten up through the day. High

:26:53. > :26:58.temperature of ten. We have had quite a lot of response about the

:26:59. > :27:02.flood defences. It is the south`east against the rest of the country. The

:27:03. > :27:08.vast majority of funding will be used to protect those settlements.

:27:09. > :27:12.Jenny says we live near Stamford and the boards are needed because so

:27:13. > :27:18.many shops are down small alleyways that otherwise would not be known

:27:19. > :27:23.about. David says praise to Stamford Council for cracking down on these

:27:24. > :27:26.signs. Hopefully they are well insured against any claims. Thanks

:27:27. > :27:31.for getting in touch with us tonight. I shall be on the radio

:27:32. > :27:34.tomorrow. Join me then if you can. We will have plenty more news and

:27:35. > :27:39.weather in the late bulletin tonight. That is at 10:25pm. Get in

:27:40. > :27:41.touch with me if you can. Goodbye.
