:00:00. > :00:11.. The headlines tonight: The woman in charge of
:00:12. > :00:17.Lincolnshire's ambulance service says response times are still not
:00:18. > :00:22.good enough. As surety concerns and I would want to reassure people that
:00:23. > :00:24.every focus is going in to improve those response times. `` I share the
:00:25. > :00:28.concerns. Anger at plans to close the only
:00:29. > :00:33.public toilets in Grimsby. They should ask people what they want,
:00:34. > :00:36.not what they wanted to do themselves. They never ask the
:00:37. > :00:39.people. Also on tonight's programme: Three years since the death of Amy
:00:40. > :00:41.Winehouse, her former mother`in`law offers help to the parents of drug
:00:42. > :00:45.addicts. And the Lincolnshire skier now on
:00:46. > :00:52.the verge of a third medal at the Winter Paralympics.
:00:53. > :00:58.The Internet craze that is sweeping the Christian world. `` the
:00:59. > :00:59.equestrian world. More sunshine to come tomorrow but
:01:00. > :01:10.there will be frost. Good evening.
:01:11. > :01:13.Getting it right on ambulance response times in Lincolnshire
:01:14. > :01:16.remains our top priority, that's the message from the woman who runs the
:01:17. > :01:20.service. Chief executive Sue Noyes insists patients are seeing
:01:21. > :01:23.improvements. The East Midlands Ambulance Service has been fined in
:01:24. > :01:27.each of the past three years for missing its targets and a planned
:01:28. > :01:32.reorganisation has been put on hold until that improves. Our health
:01:33. > :01:36.correspondent, Vicky Johnson, has today met senior managers from the
:01:37. > :01:44.Trust to find out what the future holds for patients.
:01:45. > :01:47.Peter, it's worth remembering the plans to reorganise the East
:01:48. > :01:50.Midlands Ambulance date back to 2012 and were the Trust's response to its
:01:51. > :01:53.consistently poor performance. But the Being the Best project meant
:01:54. > :01:55.plans were approved to close ten ambulance stations across
:01:56. > :01:57.Lincolnshire. Campaigners have been strongly opposed, including Guy
:01:58. > :02:08.Grainger, who's raised concerns about cover in Market Rasen. We
:02:09. > :02:12.should be having two ambulances in the area on stand`by at all times.
:02:13. > :02:15.Rather than bringing those ambulances in over at least 15 miles
:02:16. > :02:20.to have to respond to those incidents. What it means is that we
:02:21. > :02:27.will be looking at a redesign of that strategy. Where appropriate,
:02:28. > :02:29.there will not be station closures. Streamlining the estate strategy in
:02:30. > :02:32.accordance with those comments. Last year, EMAS were fined ?3.5
:02:33. > :02:35.million after failing to meet response times. Of ten ambulance
:02:36. > :02:39.trusts in England, EMAS was one of only two to miss targets. The
:02:40. > :02:41.service is supposed to get an ambulance to 95% of all
:02:42. > :02:53.life`threatening emergencies within 19 minutes, but EMAS missed this
:02:54. > :02:59.target by more than 3%. We are just below on the red one. But we have
:03:00. > :03:06.seen some significant improvement on the A19 on the convenient target to
:03:07. > :03:08.just below the 95%. That is quite some improvement for Lincolnshire.
:03:09. > :03:12.We have not seen that for some time. So after a difficult few years,
:03:13. > :03:19.what's it like for the crews? They are still concerned about staff
:03:20. > :03:23.rotas and also the closure plans. My members have been through a lot in
:03:24. > :03:30.the last 12 months, 18 months, not just the response times but we have
:03:31. > :03:36.had the tobacco of the programme, proposed changes to sick leave, meal
:03:37. > :03:38.breaks and the one thing that really concerns members is the change to
:03:39. > :03:41.rotors and how that will affect the service delivery.
:03:42. > :03:44.The unions will now meet with the new management tomorrow for more
:03:45. > :03:49.discussions. `` the change to the working schedules.
:03:50. > :03:52.In a moment: The Minister for Fisheries visits
:03:53. > :03:56.Grimsby to discuss the industry's future.
:03:57. > :04:00.The only council`run public toilets in Grimsby are facing closure, even
:04:01. > :04:06.though ?1 million was recently spent upgrading them. North East
:04:07. > :04:09.Lincolnshire Council argues it needs to save more than ?70 million from
:04:10. > :04:14.its budget and they won't close until an alternative has been found.
:04:15. > :04:18.But campaigners say there has been no consultation and a petition has
:04:19. > :04:22.been started. Phillip Norton reports.
:04:23. > :04:26.Closed within weeks, the signs at Grimsby's last remaining public
:04:27. > :04:34.toilets put up yesterday. It's a move that's come as a surprise for
:04:35. > :04:39.users... And their cleaner. Two people came and said, "I am putting
:04:40. > :04:43.some signs up because they are closing." I have been told they are
:04:44. > :04:47.closing and I looked at the sign and it said the 24th of March. It is
:04:48. > :04:49.diabolical. They gave me two weeks close is that I have not got a job
:04:50. > :04:54.any more. Those who use the toilets are angry
:04:55. > :04:57.and have started a petition. I don't see why they want to close them. A
:04:58. > :05:02.lot of our customers are wondering why. There are no toilets around
:05:03. > :05:05.you. I used it when I do my shopping. They should ask people
:05:06. > :05:08.what they want, not what they want to do themselves. They never ask the
:05:09. > :05:11.people nowadays. The Government says there should be
:05:12. > :05:15.proper consultation with the public over the closure of toilets. But
:05:16. > :05:20.even the ward councillor says he's been kept in the dark. To close
:05:21. > :05:24.toilets which were only renovated a few years back, I find it bizarre.
:05:25. > :05:29.Now it will have to be signed off by the portfolio. One councillor who
:05:30. > :05:33.will sign it off... That is not right for democracy. It will not
:05:34. > :05:38.come to us councillors until the next full council meeting. That is
:05:39. > :05:43.absolutely appalling. Just four years ago, the council spent ?1
:05:44. > :05:47.million upgrading toilets across the borough. The closure of these
:05:48. > :05:50.facilities and those of the market Hall will leave Grimsby town centre
:05:51. > :05:53.without any public conveniences. Last night, the leader of North East
:05:54. > :05:56.Lincolnshire Council said the closures were due to underuse and
:05:57. > :05:59.budget cuts and that the public should use privately run facilities
:06:00. > :06:04.at Freeman Street market and Freshney Place shopping centre. The
:06:05. > :06:12.thing is that we have got alternative provision in the market.
:06:13. > :06:15.We have spoken to the alternative provider and said, " look, it seems
:06:16. > :06:20.ridiculous having to toilets within 200 yards of each other. " We might
:06:21. > :06:26.as well combine services together and make it work for both parties.
:06:27. > :06:29.Are the nearby? Yes, they are in the market. There are public toilets.
:06:30. > :06:32.But both the market and Freshney Place have told me today there's no
:06:33. > :06:35.agreement for the use of what it says are customer toilets. The
:06:36. > :06:38.shopping centre saying it was unaware of the closure. Earlier, the
:06:39. > :06:41.council did something of a u`turn. It now says Garibaldi Street will
:06:42. > :06:44.stay open until alternatives are found. Campaigners say they'll fight
:06:45. > :06:49.to keep them. Phillip Norton, BBC Look North, Grimsby.
:06:50. > :06:53.Earlier, I asked the council leader Chris Shaw if council tax payers
:06:54. > :06:57.deserve and want public toilets. Well, of course. That's why we're
:06:58. > :07:01.not actually closing them. We are doing three re`provisioned toilets.
:07:02. > :07:05.We've got this idea that the toilet is going to go. It's just going to
:07:06. > :07:09.be supplied by another set of people in a different place. Yesterday, you
:07:10. > :07:14.posted a notice on the toilet saying, " Closed on the 24th of
:07:15. > :07:18.March. " Today, you are saying they will stay open for now. Why the
:07:19. > :07:21.U`turn? It's not a U`turn. The ones on Garibaldi Street, it was the
:07:22. > :07:25.contracter put the wrong sign up on the wrong toilets. Once we get the
:07:26. > :07:29.re`provisions in place on the other side... On Garibaldi Street, it's on
:07:30. > :07:33.the other side of the road, the new toilets, then we will be closing the
:07:34. > :07:36.old ones. So you are blaming the contracters, not the fact that you
:07:37. > :07:39.had a change of mind because you're worried about bad publicity today?
:07:40. > :07:43.No, Peter. They were always supposed to put a toilet on the other side of
:07:44. > :07:47.the road. That's what we're doing. We are working with partners to do
:07:48. > :07:51.that. It's just a case of, you know, the sign was put up at the
:07:52. > :07:55.wrong place so people jumped to conclusions. The left hand does not
:07:56. > :07:58.know what the right hand is doing. I mean, Freshney Place did not even
:07:59. > :08:01.know that the toilets were closing down. You've not even spoken to
:08:02. > :08:04.them. Well, freshly place do know, Peter. That's the thing, they do
:08:05. > :08:08.know. We've had a lot of consultation with them to do what we
:08:09. > :08:11.are doing. It's the Freeman Street market where we're still negotiating
:08:12. > :08:15.with them to get the right facilities but the thing is, at the
:08:16. > :08:19.end of the day, I've got to save this authority 76 million. My choice
:08:20. > :08:23.is to keep all of these toilets open and close the children's home or ask
:08:24. > :08:26.people to walk 100 yards and use an alternative toilet. Bearing in mind,
:08:27. > :08:29.Peter, in Grimsby town centre, in July there is a brand`new set of
:08:30. > :08:33.toilets opening in our brand`new bus station. So you... It is hardly that
:08:34. > :08:37.people will not have a choice. You are trying to save money by getting
:08:38. > :08:41.people to use public toilets in the shopping centre so you can save on
:08:42. > :08:44.your budget. That's the story, the bottom line? Well, the bottom line
:08:45. > :08:48.is us being a more efficient council. That is what we have been
:08:49. > :08:51.told we have to be by the Government. The ratepayers don't
:08:52. > :08:55.want to pay an awful lot more and it is by working in partnership with
:08:56. > :08:58.people that we can get these things done. What you are doing is trying
:08:59. > :09:02.to push the customers into toilets in a public area and save money by
:09:03. > :09:06.closing down public toilets. That is what you are trying to do. Why don't
:09:07. > :09:10.you just admit it? No, Peter, what we are doing is making better use of
:09:11. > :09:14.council tax payers' money by working with... No, what you are doing... To
:09:15. > :09:17.give them toilets. What you're doing is closing public toilets to save
:09:18. > :09:21.money. Why don't you just admit it? Because we are not doing that. What
:09:22. > :09:24.we are actually doing is saving money by working with others to
:09:25. > :09:28.supply better toilets. So if you want public toilets in your area,
:09:29. > :09:31.you're not going to get them. It is tough really, isn't it? We've got
:09:32. > :09:34.ten public toilets in North East Lincolnshire. We are talking about a
:09:35. > :09:37.re`provisioning of three. Hardly doing away with public toilets! And
:09:38. > :09:40.that will save the ratepayers a considerable sum of money that we
:09:41. > :09:44.can put into street cleaning and into things like children's homes.
:09:45. > :09:47.And I think that is better value for money. We'll leave it there. Very
:09:48. > :09:52.good to talk to you tonight. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you,
:09:53. > :10:00.Peter. Let us know what you think of this
:10:01. > :10:03.story. Samantha says, libraries, toilets, what next question marks
:10:04. > :10:12.the council should get their act together. This story is from
:10:13. > :10:16.Grimsby. The council needs to save ?70 million. Is closing the public
:10:17. > :10:22.toilets a good way to save the money? How vital is the service? We
:10:23. > :10:34.will have some boards before we finish. `` thoughts.
:10:35. > :10:40.I look forward to hearing from you. A 33`year`old man has been released
:10:41. > :10:46.on bail following a dog attack in Lincoln. Armed Police were called to
:10:47. > :10:48.a quarry in the east of the city on Sunday night, where a 22`year`old
:10:49. > :10:52.woman suffered what have been described as life changing injuries
:10:53. > :10:54.to her face and head. She is now in stable condition after undergoing
:10:55. > :10:58.surgery. Thanks to everyone who got in touch
:10:59. > :11:01.on this story after last night's programme. Lesley says, "Every dog
:11:02. > :11:31.regardless of breed should be muzzled in public.
:11:32. > :11:41.Thank you very much indeed for all of those.
:11:42. > :11:49.The funeral of a woman who led the campaign to scrap tolls for hospital
:11:50. > :11:51.patients was held today. She had lobbied MPs and lead petitions
:11:52. > :11:59.urging for them to be of dollars `` abolished. It was attended by family
:12:00. > :12:02.and friends. Planes from a Lincolnshire air base
:12:03. > :12:08.are making flights over eastern Europe as concerns about the future
:12:09. > :12:11.of the Ukraine continue. They are monitoring the situation of Poland
:12:12. > :12:16.and Romania. They will be joined by NATO colleagues from Germany.
:12:17. > :12:20.The former mother`in`law of the singer Amy Winehouse has told BBC
:12:21. > :12:23.Look North that parents need to take responsibility if their children use
:12:24. > :12:26.drugs. Georgette Civil lives in Lincolnshire and says she spent
:12:27. > :12:29.years in denial about her son Blake's addiction. She now has
:12:30. > :12:37.little contact with him but has written a book to try and help other
:12:38. > :12:40.parents. Gemma Dawson reports. I look at him and he does not fit that
:12:41. > :12:44.stereotype image people have of addicts. Here, he is my boy.
:12:45. > :12:47.Georgette's son, Blake, was half of one of the most famous couple's in
:12:48. > :12:51.the country. Married to Amy Winehouse, the pair's every move was
:12:52. > :12:59.followed by the press. But despite reports of drug taking, Georgette
:13:00. > :13:03.told me she spent years in denial. That is probably the hardest thing
:13:04. > :13:11.for any mother to come to terms with, to say, "my son is a drug
:13:12. > :13:16.addict. " It is the hardest words a mother will ever have to say. And it
:13:17. > :13:20.is the most destructive denial because as long as you are in
:13:21. > :13:24.denial, what you're doing is you are in enabling your child. You are
:13:25. > :13:25.enabling them to continue having a dependency.
:13:26. > :13:28.At home in Lincolnshire, Georgette's written a book sharing her
:13:29. > :13:31.experiences. After reflecting on the last few years, she now believes
:13:32. > :13:40.parents need to take some responsibility if their children use
:13:41. > :13:45.drugs. I did things, not with an intention to hurt him but I made
:13:46. > :13:50.mistakes. I was young and I made mistakes. We all say, " if I could
:13:51. > :13:54.have my chance again with the knowledge I have got today, I would
:13:55. > :13:59.do things so very differently." But yes, I take full responsibility that
:14:00. > :14:05.I contributed up to three or four runs up the ladder to his rejection
:14:06. > :14:08.`` addiction. Georgette's now estranged from her eldest son but
:14:09. > :14:14.hopes one day, they'll re`build their relationship.
:14:15. > :14:15.Let's hope so. Thank you for your company.
:14:16. > :14:19.Still ahead tonight: We talk to the Lincolnshire skier on
:14:20. > :14:22.the verge of her third medal at the Winter Paralympics in Sochi.
:14:23. > :14:23.And celebrating their horses, the internet craze that's sweeping the
:14:24. > :14:40.equestrian world. Pictures coming in tonight. Thank
:14:41. > :14:44.stunning. stunning.
:14:45. > :14:54.How are you? How are
:14:55. > :14:57.What a lovely day it is. Bethany says she requests peter to be a
:14:58. > :15:01.judge in her lingerie modelling competition. Are you busy that day,
:15:02. > :15:05.Peter? 's you are on your own! If you're going to get yourself into
:15:06. > :15:10.deep water, I am not joining in! Was like you should consider it. Fog and
:15:11. > :15:14.low cloud at first tomorrow. It will gradually turns sunny but some of
:15:15. > :15:18.the low cloud might be a little reluctant to clear but high pressure
:15:19. > :15:21.still in charge. The main thing is that is going to be dry and probably
:15:22. > :15:26.stay dry through the rest of this week and much of the coming weekend.
:15:27. > :15:30.A nice, fairly prolonged spell of settled weather. We are in the
:15:31. > :15:35.middle of it. The low cloud did form overnight. We had a widespread frost
:15:36. > :15:39.but it cleared fairly readily and this afternoon has been beautiful.
:15:40. > :15:42.11 Celsius! It is warm in the sunshine but still quite chilly in
:15:43. > :15:48.the shade and along the coast, with a gentle breeze. Tonight, I think we
:15:49. > :15:56.will have a widespread ground frost, even perhaps frost in the air in
:15:57. > :16:00.some thoughts `` sunspots. There will be mist, fog and low cloud in
:16:01. > :16:04.some places. Here is a look at the temperatures. In the countryside, it
:16:05. > :16:07.will be a fair amount lower than those temperatures are suggesting.
:16:08. > :16:14.The sun will rise in the morning at 6:24am.
:16:15. > :16:19.A lot of low cloud and fog first thing in the morning. As I say, some
:16:20. > :16:23.of it may be quite reluctant to clear. A slow process, some of that
:16:24. > :16:28.lingering into tomorrow afternoon but the general trend will be for it
:16:29. > :16:31.to break up, blue skies to become established and most of us tomorrow
:16:32. > :16:35.afternoon should enjoy plenty of sunshine. Just a hint of a little
:16:36. > :16:38.bit of sea fog not far from that coastline. The coast itself will be
:16:39. > :16:45.quite cool, with a gentle Orange Order breeze. Inland, Tim Celsius in
:16:46. > :16:53.Hull. 12 Celsius in the afternoon sunshine. `` 10 Celsius. `` a gentle
:16:54. > :16:58.onshore breeze. The weekend, that is forecast.
:16:59. > :17:04.And a mild has been sent, seeing the shirt and tie that Paul often wears,
:17:05. > :17:07.I know now why Look North is not what gas in HD! It would be more
:17:08. > :17:16.than the viewer could cope with. I would have to iron them then!
:17:17. > :17:19.When HD starts, I am going! Most of the fish and seafood that we
:17:20. > :17:22.eight is processed in Grimsby, an estimated 70% of the UK total. Today
:17:23. > :17:25.the government's Fisheries Minister visited the town to hear about the
:17:26. > :17:29.challenges that are facing the industry. George Eustiss offered his
:17:30. > :17:38.support to a campaign to encourage more children to eight fish and
:17:39. > :17:41.seafood. `` to eat fish and seafood. Crispin Rolfe reports.
:17:42. > :17:46.Winning ministerial approval. This pack's designed to get primary
:17:47. > :17:49.school pupils eating seafood. George Eustice is the government's latest
:17:50. > :17:52.Fishing Minister and he's now backing the Fish is the Dish, an
:17:53. > :17:59.education pack going nationwide on Monday. The whole thing is... This
:18:00. > :18:03.is his first trip to Grimsby. We want to encourage children to get
:18:04. > :18:06.used to eating is an early age but also preparing and so they are not
:18:07. > :18:09.just buying fish fingers. The Government is also looking at how we
:18:10. > :18:13.can promote careers in the food industry. We have got a government
:18:14. > :18:18.recommendation that you should be eating fish twice a week. One being
:18:19. > :18:22.oily fish and the other whitefish. We do not come anywhere near that in
:18:23. > :18:25.the UK. That is for health, not for pushing up the profits of seafood
:18:26. > :18:28.companies. It is for health. But will primary school pupils, even in
:18:29. > :18:36.Grimsby, be persuaded of seafood's succulence? They might give it a try
:18:37. > :18:40.but I don't think they would like it. I think it is a good idea and
:18:41. > :18:43.good for the children also. It is healthy. She lost this fingers, lost
:18:44. > :18:50.fish and chips and it is the way forward, is it not?
:18:51. > :18:53.Grimsby's industry hope so as earlier at the minister visited its
:18:54. > :18:57.fish market amid hopes that George Eustice can help the town rediscover
:18:58. > :19:00.its best years as the processing industry picks up. Whether it can be
:19:01. > :19:03.done on a huge skill, not to be done on a huge skill, not to the old days
:19:04. > :19:06.of yore when Grimsby was the Premier fishing port... But I certainly
:19:07. > :19:10.think there is scope for improvement, increase in business as
:19:11. > :19:13.well. One of the things we have to be mindful of as the history of the

:19:41. > :19:44.finished second in the Super Combined slalom event this morning,
:19:45. > :19:48.at the Winter Paralympics. It means she is virtually guaranteed another

:20:24. > :20:26.definitely a confidence boost for me and Caroline. We have not been
:20:27. > :20:29.working that long together. It was only a third downhill together. We
:20:30. > :20:34.were both really happy with the performance and we tried to take
:20:35. > :20:39.that into the next couple of races. It was a fantastic achievement. The
:20:40. > :20:43.question that everybody has been asking me is how you do it. What do
:20:44. > :20:51.you need to be told to be able to do what you do? I spend time with
:20:52. > :20:56.Caroline all the time, on and off the hell, 24/7. In the actual cause,
:20:57. > :21:00.she will tell me when to turn, is the main thing, and when the tour
:21:01. > :21:05.bricks are. We do a lot of the communication and what they commands
:21:06. > :21:10.will be in inspection and that is when I will look at the terrain, the
:21:11. > :21:14.steepness, but we're going to land, whether there is going to be some
