15/03/2014 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

with a full round-up of the news at quarter past ten this evening. Now

it's Good evening. Firefighters `nd

members of the public have taken part in a protest march in Grimsby,

over plans to merge two fird stations in the town as part of

budget cuts. Humberside Fird and Rescue says it will still bd able to

meet response standards ` btt some claim the changes will put lives at

risk. Phillip Norton has more. Setting off from a fire station

facing closure on a march around housing areas it protects, Serving

firefighters, their families, even fire victims were among those

calling for a re`think. It will increase the risk of a catastrophe.

We are passionate about it. That is why we are here today. Therd are two

fire engines covering this Sparta Grimsby. `` this part of. One will

go completely, one will be loved miles away. Every second cotnts in a

fire. There is a delay, the risk to the people involved is greater.

There is of the river, the railway station, the new houses thex are

building, this is bizarre. What on earth is possessing them? I have

dealt with numerous incidents, very seriously, dealt with successfully,

I am proud to say, but with the closure of the station, thex will

wait longer if there arsenal incidents and the outcome m`y not be

as successful. `` if they are similar incidents. Humberside Fire

and Rescue service has to m`ke savings of more than ?5 million It

says it carried out a 12 wedk consultation with staff and the

public in Grimsby, and the option to remove an appliance from thd Grimsby

area was the overall favourdd option. But campaigners herd say

their fight will go on. North Lincolnshire Council has been

accused of "sucking the lifdblood out of Scunthorpe town centre" by

allowing out of town shopping centres to be built. Dorothx Perkins

and Burton closed down todax ` the latest of several big name stores to

shut in the town centre. But the council says it is attracting new

business. This council has done nothing but suck the lifeblood out

of our town centre. Hundreds of jobs have been lost. They say thdy will

create jobs on a new retail Park. Times are difficult but I al really

pleased that we have been able to attract more business. More business

interest. In 18 months we h`ve created 600 new jobs. Hull City s

vice chairman Ehab Allam has told the BBC they'll ballot season ticket

holders about the club's proposed name change in the next couple of

weeks. The club has already applied to the FA to change its namd to Hull

Tigers ` with a decision dud next month. News of the ballot follows a

disappointing afternoon for the Tigers at the KC Stadium. They lost

2`0 to Manchester City after goals from David Silva and Edin Dzeko ` in

spite of opposition captain Vincent Kompany being sent off. Ask

supporters. Have a democrathc vote. I will go with the name change. It

rests with the FA. If they don't want the name change, they weren't.

I sick to death of the questions. You know my forts.

Scunthorpe United have extended their record unbeaten run to 21

games. The Iron beat Plymouth Argyle 2`0. Grimsby Town beat Wrexham `1,

and Lincoln City beat Braintree 2`0. Time for the weather now with

Jennifer Bartram. It is a cloudy end to the d`y. Quite

breezy. The cloud will thicken, that should keep temperatures from

falling too low. Overnight they will get down to about seven Celsius It

will be a mild start on Sunday morning. Sunny spells going through

the Dave. The window picked up. That's all from us. A reminder that

there's a behind the scenes look at York Minster on BBC One tomorrow.

Cameras have spent the last year filming there. A new series ` cold

The Minster ` starts at 4:44pm. We'll be back tomorrow. Goodbye

Good evening. Today's weather perhaps not quite as exciting as the

afternoon's sporting events but nevertheless, there was sparkling

sunshine on offer across England, Wales and also eastern Scotland

Temperatures responded favourably. A disappointing 9C for western

Scotland under that cloud with rain. Some showers will continue through

the night. We could potentially see gusts of winds of 40-50mph here But

with the winds around it will stay fog-free. Not a cold night either.

We start off with this rain up to the extreme north and west with

showery rain perhaps for the north coast of Northern Ireland. Thicker

cloud across western fringes. More cloud around but maybe to the east

of the Pen nines and down to the south corner we start off with some

sunshine and here it may linger through much of the day. More of a

breeze than we have
