:00:00. > :00:00.A reminder of our main story. Thousands of protest to remain in
:00:00. > :00:07.Independence Square tonight, Hello, good evening. The headlines
:00:08. > :00:12.from BBC Look North this Friday night: Councillors in Lincolnshire
:00:13. > :00:27.vote to give themselves a 23% pay rise.
:00:28. > :00:29.It is a scandal. They should not have done it, they should not have
:00:30. > :00:33.had the power to do it. Calls to restrict the size of
:00:34. > :00:36.caravan parks ` claims they put too much strain on services.
:00:37. > :00:39.The bird that anglers want culled ` they say they're taking all the fish
:00:40. > :00:43.from an East Yorkshire river. The FA Trophy ` can Grimsby Town
:00:44. > :00:48.reach Wembley for the second year running?
:00:49. > :00:52.The feel good factor ` sunny weather comes to East Yorkshire and
:00:53. > :00:56.Lincolnshire. But, will it continue over the
:00:57. > :00:58.course of the weekend? I will be back later in the programme with the
:00:59. > :01:08.full forecast. Councillors in Lincolnshire have
:01:09. > :01:12.voted to give themselves a pay rise at a meeting today in Lincoln. The
:01:13. > :01:17.basic allowance for each councillor will rise by more than 20% to just
:01:18. > :01:20.over ?10,000. The ruling Conservative group said the increase
:01:21. > :01:24.had been suggested by an independent panel. Labour says it's unfair when
:01:25. > :01:38.the authority has to save ?40 million in the next financial year.
:01:39. > :01:44.Caroline Bilton reports. Libraries under threat, streetlights
:01:45. > :01:48.dimmed. 1500 staff posts at the Council axed. These proposals will
:01:49. > :01:54.have a devastating impact. All reason for protests in recent years,
:01:55. > :02:00.because of belt tightening by the council. Today, that belt buckle
:02:01. > :02:04.went up a notch. At a full council meeting, it was announced an
:02:05. > :02:09.additional ?40 million needs to be saved this year alone. So, it came
:02:10. > :02:16.as a surprise to some that, in the same meeting, councillors voted to
:02:17. > :02:18.accept a rise in their allowances. The leader of the council currently
:02:19. > :02:26.receives an allowance of just over ?20,000. That will rise to ?32,000.
:02:27. > :02:30.That is an increase of 56%. The basic allowance received by most
:02:31. > :02:37.councillors is around ?8,000, which will rise to just over ?10,000, an
:02:38. > :02:40.increase of 23%. The council says these changes will bring their
:02:41. > :02:44.allowances in line with other organisations. But, when thousands
:02:45. > :02:49.needs to be saved from the council's budget, is it the right
:02:50. > :02:52.time to accept a rise? We have decided to accept the
:02:53. > :02:56.recommendations and it is a matter for the individual counsellor what
:02:57. > :02:59.they do. I do understand why people in these difficult times, with
:03:00. > :03:04.households on tight budgets, staffing reducing here, as leader it
:03:05. > :03:11.is my own personal circumstances, and I think at this time I will not
:03:12. > :03:16.be taking the recommended rise. Each council will now decide whether to
:03:17. > :03:19.take the increase. There are people in Lincolnshire who are struggling
:03:20. > :03:24.to survive, to find money for food and to heat their homes, they will
:03:25. > :03:28.not understand what has happened. I take it you will not be accepting
:03:29. > :03:33.your rise? Everyone has to make their own decisions. It is up to
:03:34. > :03:40.individuals, it is not up to me. Will you be taking yours? I have no
:03:41. > :03:44.ideas but the macro idea. It is extreme, given the current status of
:03:45. > :03:52.the economy and lots of peoples wages have not increased. It is
:03:53. > :04:01.extreme. I think those who are our leaders need to lead. Despite tough
:04:02. > :04:05.times ahead, the council did vote to freeze council tax for a fourth year
:04:06. > :04:08.running. But, it is unlikely this will be the topic of conversation
:04:09. > :04:13.around dinner tables tonight in Lincolnshire.
:04:14. > :04:17.Joining me now from Westminster is Dia Chakravarty from The Taxpayers'
:04:18. > :04:20.Alliance. This is effectively a ?2,000 pay rise. How will the
:04:21. > :04:27.taxpayers of Lincolnshire be feeling tonight.
:04:28. > :04:30.It does sound ridiculous. When was the last time when many of the
:04:31. > :04:38.residents of Lincolnshire managed to get that sort of pay rise West
:04:39. > :04:46.remarked that my? . In the private sector, pay is not that great at the
:04:47. > :04:51.moment. Public sector people will have had their pay frozen or even
:04:52. > :04:54.lost their jobs. How do you think the residents will feel when
:04:55. > :04:59.councillors give themselves an allowance rise of that stature. Some
:05:00. > :05:02.councils are in charge of budgets that are millions of pounds.
:05:03. > :05:08.Shouldn't they pay reflect that? It should reflect that, but it is a
:05:09. > :05:12.question of scale. Do they really need a 56% pay rise? It seems
:05:13. > :05:17.indecent in these times. We have also heard about streetlights being
:05:18. > :05:20.dimmed, libraries being shut down. Can this really be the best way of
:05:21. > :05:26.spending the money? If the council have so much my two spare, why are
:05:27. > :05:31.they shutting down libraries and not fixing lights? The benefit of money
:05:32. > :05:38.should go to the residents, not to the politicians. But wouldn't you
:05:39. > :05:41.attract a higher calibre of candidate if the pay was higher?
:05:42. > :05:46.That is a different sort of question, how you attract people.
:05:47. > :05:51.That is an engagement question when political parties need to reach out
:05:52. > :05:57.to the right people. But throwing out money to people already holding
:05:58. > :06:02.an office in these times cannot seem right at all. What do you think they
:06:03. > :06:07.should get? Some people would say they shouldn't get paid at all.
:06:08. > :06:10.There is a good question there. It clearly works for our magistrates
:06:11. > :06:14.who don't get paid at all. But with that sort of attitude there is or is
:06:15. > :06:19.the worry that only rich people will come forward and it will become a
:06:20. > :06:26.rich people's club. But the pay has to be decent. It has to reflect what
:06:27. > :06:34.everyone else is feeling in Lincolnshire and around the country.
:06:35. > :06:37.I don't think this decision does not reflect this. I congratulate the
:06:38. > :06:41.leader in saying he will not accept this recommendation. Let us know
:06:42. > :06:45.your thoughts on this. Do you think councillors are right
:06:46. > :06:49.to give themselves a pay rise? Or do you think that they should turn it
:06:50. > :06:51.down at a time of cuts and job losses?
:06:52. > :06:55.Perhaps you have been campaigning to save your local library, or other
:06:56. > :07:07.services, and you think the money could be better spent.
:07:08. > :07:13.In a moment on Look North: The one`off concert to ensure free music
:07:14. > :07:22.lessons for children in Hull. Concerns are being raised about the
:07:23. > :07:28.expansion of the static caravan industry on the Lincolnshire coast.
:07:29. > :07:31.The sector is worth millions to the local economy and supports thousands
:07:32. > :07:35.of jobs. But some local residents believe the holiday parks are having
:07:36. > :07:41.too big an impact in the communities where they are based. Here's our
:07:42. > :07:45.Business Correspondent Paul Murphy. Caravans for as far as the eye can
:07:46. > :07:50.see. They are the mainstay of Lincolnshire's coastal economy.
:07:51. > :07:59.Plans for 140 more of them have now approved, and the council is
:08:00. > :08:02.welcoming the continued investment. There are people who don't want
:08:03. > :08:07.change. However, we need to continuously evolve in order that we
:08:08. > :08:10.sustain what we have. It's estimated there are 25,000 caravans on the
:08:11. > :08:13.Lincolnshire coastline. In the winter months, around 42,000 people
:08:14. > :08:18.live on the coastal strip. But this can increase tenfold in the summer.
:08:19. > :08:24.A tourism economy thought to be worth more than ?500 million. Quiet
:08:25. > :08:32.today, but in the coming weeks the population here will start to surge
:08:33. > :08:35.again as the holiday`makers return. They bring with them huge spending
:08:36. > :08:39.power which spreads through shops, hotels and restaurants. But they
:08:40. > :08:50.also place pressure on everything from doctors' surgeries to the
:08:51. > :08:53.sewage system. Has this coastline reached saturation point? In the
:08:54. > :09:03.village of Chapel St Leonards, some believe it has. For the residents,
:09:04. > :09:07.they see it as disruption. It is disruption getting into Skegness on
:09:08. > :09:09.the main road, it is disruption is at the doctors surgery. They don't
:09:10. > :09:15.feel they get anything back from this. Caravans have transformed this
:09:16. > :09:20.coastline, according to this holiday park developer. You are talking
:09:21. > :09:24.about putting caps on the amount of caravans, it will stop growth and
:09:25. > :09:28.things will stagnate. Tourism and its caravans here are the biggest
:09:29. > :09:34.single job creator. Halting the growth of this sector looks like an
:09:35. > :09:37.impossible ambition. It's been confirmed that council tax
:09:38. > :09:43.in North East Lincolnshire will rise by almost 2% this year. It was voted
:09:44. > :09:46.through at a meeting last night. The council says the rise is needed
:09:47. > :09:48.because the government is giving it less money.
:09:49. > :09:52.A 32`year`old man, arrested in connection with a robbery at this
:09:53. > :09:55.post office in Bilton, east of Hull, has been released on bail.
:09:56. > :09:58.Police say the postmistress was terrified by masked men who smashed
:09:59. > :10:04.through her protective glass`screen on Monday.
:10:05. > :10:07.Lincolnshire Police say they'll have more officers in Grantham for a
:10:08. > :10:10.march by the English Defence League tomorrow. The anti`immigration group
:10:11. > :10:21.is protesting against a proposed Islamic Cultural Centre.
:10:22. > :10:25.We live in a free society and if somebody wants to peaceably protest,
:10:26. > :10:30.we have two allow them to do that. But, having allowed them to do that,
:10:31. > :10:34.it needs to be safe for people to go on with their daily business. Speak
:10:35. > :10:37.to us, we will be there, and it is business as usual in Grantham on
:10:38. > :10:41.Saturday. Anglers say they want to see more
:10:42. > :10:44.culling of a wild bird that they say is eating most of the fish that live
:10:45. > :10:47.in an East Yorkshire river. Cormorants are being blamed for
:10:48. > :10:51.taking fish from the Driffield West Beck. The river attracts anglers
:10:52. > :10:54.from around the world and there are fears that they may be put off from
:10:55. > :11:00.visiting the area. Linsey Smith reports.
:11:01. > :11:05.When it comes to catching fish, these are some of nature's most
:11:06. > :11:11.accomplished predators. In China, cormorants are even trained by
:11:12. > :11:15.fishermen. But closer to home, Driffield West Beck is looking
:11:16. > :11:25.sparse and still. It's being worked by growing flocks for decades. In
:11:26. > :11:30.the 60s, the other members of the club would think nothing of catching
:11:31. > :11:34.50 Grayling on a winters afternoon. Now on this bit of water, the
:11:35. > :11:42.preservation water, the 20 members of the club don't catch 50 Grayling
:11:43. > :11:46.in a year. Mulberry Whin, tourists from as far afield as Australia and
:11:47. > :11:48.Norway have visited to fish. They're the lucky ones. Stocking and
:11:49. > :11:51.conservation work ensures a plentiful supply here. But, outside
:11:52. > :12:01.of this exclusive spot, some anglers say a greater cull is the only way
:12:02. > :12:06.to save their hobby. Handling is an incredibly popular hobby. In a
:12:07. > :12:11.recent report, the government acknowledged there has to be a
:12:12. > :12:14.balance, they have two conserve our wild bird populations, but they also
:12:15. > :12:19.have two protect fisheries like this, which is why they give out
:12:20. > :12:23.licences for legal control. Natural England, who give out the licenses
:12:24. > :12:30.say in the last eight years they gave permission for 281 cormorants
:12:31. > :12:37.to be shot in East Yorkshire. Good morning, how are you getting on?
:12:38. > :12:40.Only 149 were. The main problem is, there are a lot of nature reserves
:12:41. > :12:47.around here where the cormorants can roost. They could be a change
:12:48. > :12:50.whereby if they had people with the right legislation who were allowed
:12:51. > :12:52.to shoot comments on nature reserves, it would reduce the
:12:53. > :13:09.numbers. The RSPB are against further culling.
:13:10. > :13:13.On the drive down I noticed a few cormorants circling. But fishermen
:13:14. > :13:16.warn swift action is needed. Or these birds will drive angling
:13:17. > :13:23.tourists to other parts of the country.
:13:24. > :13:26.Another controversial story you might have a view on. Do you think
:13:27. > :13:30.the anglers are right, and the numbers of wild birds need to be
:13:31. > :13:33.controlled to keep up fish stocks? Or should they be left alone,
:13:34. > :13:37.irrespective of the impact on tourism for the area? Do get in
:13:38. > :13:40.touch ` the contact details are on the screen now.
:13:41. > :13:44.Still to come on tonight's programme: Grimsby Town look to

:13:47. > :13:56.And, the first ice creams of the year, as sunny weather comes to East
:13:57. > :14:00.Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. And the weather is looking good in
:14:01. > :14:03.tonight's picture. It was taken by Hugh Marrows. Lovely clear sky over
:14:04. > :14:14.the church at Alvingham near Louth. Beautiful scene with some snowdrops
:14:15. > :14:18.in the foreground. Is it a coincidence that you are
:14:19. > :14:25.wearing black and white tonight? Of course!
:14:26. > :14:28.I am sure it will all become clear later in the programme. But I would
:14:29. > :14:32.like to know, it is going to be a good day for fish and chips in our
:14:33. > :14:36.hometown at the weekend? It is always a good day for fish and
:14:37. > :14:40.chips, as you know. Tomorrow does look pleasant with sunshine once
:14:41. > :14:44.again right across the region. Tomorrow is going to be the better
:14:45. > :14:48.day of the weekend. It will be the driest day and also the brightest
:14:49. > :14:52.day, with some spells of sunshine around. Windier and cloudier for
:14:53. > :14:56.Sunday. But breezy is a theme for across the week, and it will get
:14:57. > :15:02.more blustery as we head to Sunday, but even on Sunday, the isobars are
:15:03. > :15:08.quite tightly packed so a fairly brisk breeze. Today, we have had
:15:09. > :15:16.broken cloud and some sunshine. We might see a future hours later on,
:15:17. > :15:17.perhaps the odd one continuing overnight, but generally a settled
:15:18. > :15:22.night to overnight, but generally a settled
:15:23. > :15:26.night come. It will remain fairly breezy, but that will protect us
:15:27. > :15:31.from any frost. Temperatures perhaps getting back to four or five
:15:32. > :15:42.degrees. The sun will rise at 7:06am. Saturday is the better day
:15:43. > :15:47.of the weekend. There will be decent spells of sunshine. Broken cloud,
:15:48. > :15:52.mainly dry conditions, decent spells of sunshine, and the breeze, albeit
:15:53. > :15:55.fairly fresh, will still be lighter than Sunday. Not a bad day with
:15:56. > :16:06.temperatures just above average for the time of year. Some spots will
:16:07. > :16:09.reach double figures. Into Sunday, a lot more cloud spreading in from the
:16:10. > :16:14.west ahead of a weather system which will linger in the West for most of
:16:15. > :16:18.Sunday, but temperatures will be in double`figure. It will be a windy
:16:19. > :16:23.day on Sunday and eventually that rain will reach us. Turning showery
:16:24. > :16:27.on Monday. Do you think Peter will stick to the

:16:48. > :16:50.tomorrow to raise money for children in the city to get free music
:16:51. > :16:54.lessons. It comes as government funding for Hull's Music Service is
:16:55. > :16:57.cut for the third year running. The service is now looking for more
:16:58. > :16:59.independent funding to provide free tuition and instruments for

:17:15. > :17:17.reports. JAMES BOND THEME. You'll recognise
:17:18. > :17:23.the song, but probably not those playing it. Tomorrow night, the
:17:24. > :17:26.newly formed Blackbolt Orchestra will be playing themes from TV, film
:17:27. > :17:33.and computer games to showcase young musicians' talent. We are trying to
:17:34. > :17:36.get the rock music, along with strings and orchestra in the
:17:37. > :17:40.background. It is not a new thing about it is new for Hull at the end
:17:41. > :17:44.of the day. I don't think it could have ever have happened without the
:17:45. > :17:47.talented musicians who are in Hull who are not getting heard.
:17:48. > :17:50.Tomorrow's concert will be here at the Albemarle Music Centre ` the
:17:51. > :17:54.base for music education in Hull. Since 2012, its government funding
:17:55. > :18:01.has fallen year on year ` from more than ?500,000 to around half of that
:18:02. > :18:04.in the next financial year. And that means less money for free music
:18:05. > :18:08.lessons and instruments for the city's children. So, all the
:18:09. > :18:11.musicians in the Blackbolt Orchestra have volunteered their time so that
:18:12. > :18:20.all the money raised from the show can be used to help get more
:18:21. > :18:23.children into music. When the funding gets cut from places like
:18:24. > :18:28.this, they need to pay their tutors, who then give their buses
:18:29. > :18:32.for free. Something like this point happen again if the next generation
:18:33. > :18:34.are not given the opportunity, if they don't have the funding then
:18:35. > :18:38.that is that. Over the years Hull has grown some
:18:39. > :18:41.great musical talent. The Housemartins, David Bowie's band
:18:42. > :18:48.Spiders from Mars and Everything But the Girl, to name a few. It's hoped
:18:49. > :19:05.tomorrow's show will help the next generation of musicians learn the
:19:06. > :19:08.skills to perform like this too. By this time tomorrow, Grimsby Town
:19:09. > :19:12.fans will know whether they'll be watching their team at Wembley for
:19:13. > :19:15.the second time in 12 months. The Mariners will need to overturn a 2`1
:19:16. > :19:19.deficit from the semifinal first leg against Cambridge if they are to
:19:20. > :19:22.reach a second successive FA Trophy final. But, Cup success comes at a
:19:23. > :19:30.cost as the team faces an already congested fixture list, as Simon
:19:31. > :19:35.Clark reports. They know the way, they were there
:19:36. > :19:43.last year. But, to reach Wembley, Grimsby Town need to overturn a 2`1
:19:44. > :19:48.deficit. Shooting practice was the order of the day. As the Mariners
:19:49. > :19:53.bid for a special day at a special place. That is the message we are
:19:54. > :19:57.trying to get across to the players. We are fortunate that some of us
:19:58. > :20:02.have been once, a couple of us have been more. It is not something you
:20:03. > :20:09.ever tire of. The chance of Wembley, it it is rare, so take the
:20:10. > :20:13.opportunity when it is there. This time tomorrow, Grimsby Town could be
:20:14. > :20:17.celebrating a place back at Wembley Stadium. Yet, it could be at a cost.
:20:18. > :20:23.With this cup run, and the recent bad weather, they are playing
:20:24. > :20:29.fixture catch up in the league. It might prove difficult. The current
:20:30. > :20:34.table explains all. They are victims of their own success with runs in
:20:35. > :20:38.the FA Cup and FA Trophy. Thanks to unexpected match cancellations they
:20:39. > :20:44.played five fewer league games than Salisbury and Nuneaton. Painting two
:20:45. > :20:48.games a week until the end of the season is going to be tough on some
:20:49. > :20:52.fans who frequently travel to away fixtures. The more games they have
:20:53. > :20:57.to go to, they may have to start making choices, about perhaps not
:20:58. > :21:02.affording to go to one but going to another. But buses will be full and
:21:03. > :21:06.there will be a good contingent of fans going to Southport next week.
