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

:00:00.:00:11.

investigation reveals changes to housing benefit haven't freed up

:00:12.:00:14.

larger homes and have left some in rent arrears.

:00:15.:00:25.

Still in arrears. I go to the kitchen, and I'm struggling and

:00:26.:00:27.

selling stuff. A controversial series about life on

:00:28.:00:30.

benefits ` calls to stop another national network filming in Hull.

:00:31.:00:36.

It's actually not just going to hear people's feelings. It's going to

:00:37.:00:40.

cripple the whole area business`wise, and it's going to

:00:41.:00:42.

make it worse. A call for more arts groups to join

:00:43.:00:46.

in a 100 day cultural festival for Yorkshire.

:00:47.:00:48.

And the obesity epidemic in dogs ` why too many treats are making our

:00:49.:00:57.

pets too fat. And some very promising weather for

:00:58.:01:01.

the weekend. Join me for the forecast in 15 minutes.

:01:02.:01:09.

Good evening. When they were introduced a year

:01:10.:01:14.

ago, changes to housing benefits were supposed to encourage people to

:01:15.:01:18.

move to more suitable homes. But a BBC investigation shows the changes

:01:19.:01:21.

have failed to achieve that in many parts of East Yorkshire and

:01:22.:01:23.

Lincolnshire. Ministers said cutting benefits to families who had a spare

:01:24.:01:27.

room would free up under occupied homes. But in South Kesteven

:01:28.:01:37.

District Council in Lincolnshire, only twenty three households

:01:38.:01:39.

actually relocated. That's just over two percent of those affected by the

:01:40.:01:43.

benefit changes. In Hull, the figure is one hundred and sixty two

:01:44.:01:46.

households, which is just over three per cent. But it has been more

:01:47.:01:53.

successful in the East Riding. 204 households have moved out ` almost

:01:54.:01:56.

seventeen percent. The national average is 6%. Jake Zuckerman has

:01:57.:02:00.

been looking at the impact of the policy critics have dubbed "the

:02:01.:02:02.

bedroom tax". The spare room subsidy, known to its

:02:03.:02:06.

critics as the bedroom tax. A policy, says the government,

:02:07.:02:08.

designed to move benefit claimants with more bedrooms than they need

:02:09.:02:11.

into smaller accommodation more suited to their requirements. But

:02:12.:02:15.

evidence suggests it's failing in that aim, and driving tennants into

:02:16.:02:21.

arrears. Anne Lawton suffers from mental health problems. Changes to

:02:22.:02:25.

the benefits system meant she had to downsize from a two` to a

:02:26.:02:29.

one`bedroom flat. She was lucky enough to find somewhere to move to,

:02:30.:02:32.

but in the meantime, she's been left hundreds of pounds in debt. I'm

:02:33.:02:41.

still in arrears. I go to the soup kitchen, and I'm struggling, and

:02:42.:02:47.

selling stuff. I did have stuff to sell, but I haven't really got stuff

:02:48.:02:52.

to sell now. How am I going to pay back the rent? In North

:02:53.:02:54.

Lincolnshire, 48% of those affected by the so`called bedroom tax are in

:02:55.:02:58.

arrears, the highest rate in our region. In Lincoln, where the City

:02:59.:03:00.

Council is subsidising those affected, that figure is just over

:03:01.:03:04.

7%. In Hull, more than 20% are in arrears. In Hull, they've

:03:05.:03:08.

refurbished more than 70 small flats to try and meet the demand for

:03:09.:03:16.

one`bed accommodation. Been here two months, and it is so great to get a

:03:17.:03:24.

one`bedroom place. It took a lot of stress of me. In North East

:03:25.:03:26.

Lincolnshire, Shoreline Housing Association says its tenants now owe

:03:27.:03:32.

?155,000 in total. We provide as much support with partners as we

:03:33.:03:36.

can, but ultimately, the responsibility does all to be tenant

:03:37.:03:40.

to pay, and regrettably in sick instances where the tenant can't or

:03:41.:03:43.

won't pay, we have little option other than to take some form of

:03:44.:03:46.

action to try to encourage them to pay. But the government rejects

:03:47.:03:49.

accusations that the policy isn't working. If you are the taxpayer,

:03:50.:03:55.

paying for people to be on housing benefits, many of those cannot have

:03:56.:04:00.

spare bedrooms in their house, so how could they be paying for other

:04:01.:04:04.

people do have that? So as I said, you have to look at this from the

:04:05.:04:09.

full 360 degrees. Whatever the government's intentions, in East

:04:10.:04:10.

Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, thousands of people like Anne are

:04:11.:04:14.

now in arrears, many with no idea how they're going to pay.

:04:15.:04:19.

I'm joined by the Conservative MP for Beverley and Holderness Graham

:04:20.:04:21.

Stuart, who's a supporter of the changes to housing benefit. Good

:04:22.:04:31.

evening. Thank you for coming in. Do you accept the changes haven't

:04:32.:04:34.

actually work the macro absolutely not. I found your piece remarkable,

:04:35.:04:39.

and the introduction inaccurate. 6% of people in the first 11 months a

:04:40.:04:43.

fact that have moved out. That is 30,000 homes which were being used

:04:44.:04:46.

by people who didn't need the space. They are now being enjoyed by

:04:47.:04:50.

families previously in overcrowded accommodation. Just in the first 11

:04:51.:04:54.

months. It is triumphant. It is also saving the taxpayer. It doesn't

:04:55.:04:59.

sound it. Not when you listen to your piece, when the BBC lines of

:05:00.:05:03.

this research. You should go and research the people in London, the

:05:04.:05:09.

left`wing orientation of the corporation. It seems ever more

:05:10.:05:13.

present. Go and ask hundreds and thousands of people in overcrowded

:05:14.:05:20.

housing what they think. Ask the thousand families who are living in

:05:21.:05:23.

a house that can meet their needs, rather than picking on and

:05:24.:05:26.

suggesting as you did in your introduction, a falsehood, that it

:05:27.:05:29.

wasn't leaning to people moving out. It is leading to that. It is

:05:30.:05:33.

doing the right thing. It is saving money. I will ask people at home

:05:34.:05:39.

what they think in the moment. Let's read an e`mail from Arthur. He says

:05:40.:05:45.

the bedroom tax is ill thought out, unworkable and divisive policy. That

:05:46.:05:49.

is an e`mail from a viewer. Well, I am not surprised if you keep

:05:50.:05:51.

paddling the entire false those that have happened this evening. The

:05:52.:05:56.

truth is, 30,000 people already are able to move out of overcrowded

:05:57.:06:00.

housing into these homes. You had the ridiculous situation where the

:06:01.:06:05.

taxpayer was subsidising rooms which people didn't need at a time when we

:06:06.:06:08.

had a real shortage of housing. This policy is working. I am 100% behind

:06:09.:06:13.

it, and I am just disappointed that the BBC both nationally and locally

:06:14.:06:16.

should give such a totally biased view of the fact. 30,000 people

:06:17.:06:23.

rehoused in the first ten months. It is a triumph. One more question.

:06:24.:06:27.

Jake reports a lady has made the move but still owes rent and a

:06:28.:06:31.

former home, and is now having to sell family heirlooms to get the

:06:32.:06:35.

money together. What is your message to her? Well, I say again, if you

:06:36.:06:40.

look at the amount of arrears, your viewers, having listened to your

:06:41.:06:43.

introduction, would they think they have gone up or down? Do you know

:06:44.:06:46.

what they did in the last quarter of last year? They went down, an

:06:47.:06:51.

average of 4.1% to 3.9%. The whole picture painted by opponents of

:06:52.:06:55.

this, the left leading media and the Labour Party, is false, and arrears

:06:56.:07:00.

are down, and the number of people in homes who desperately need them

:07:01.:07:05.

is up. It is working. We need to have confidence. I am going to stop

:07:06.:07:10.

you there. Thank you for coming in. Some people have been debating this

:07:11.:07:12.

on our Facebook page. Stephen tells us: "we moved last year because of

:07:13.:07:15.

this bedroom tax after extensive adaptations for my disability. Now

:07:16.:07:19.

all the work has to be done again." Let us know what you think. Have you

:07:20.:07:27.

been affected by the changes? The details are on the screen.

:07:28.:07:37.

In a moment: A bright future ` how the announcements made by Siemens

:07:38.:07:42.

could bring more investment to the area.

:07:43.:07:47.

There's anger in Hull that the city could soon be featured in a

:07:48.:07:50.

television programme about life on benefits. Channel five says it's

:07:51.:07:54.

chosen to feature Hull as one of several locations in the UK. There

:07:55.:07:58.

are fears it could tarnish Hull's reputation so soon after a wave of

:07:59.:08:05.

good news. Caroline Bilton reports. It's been a week where Hull has been

:08:06.:08:09.

basking in good news. The city seems to be riding on a wave of

:08:10.:08:14.

positivity. But for one television programme maker, it's not the

:08:15.:08:18.

positive news they want to focus on. Channel five has chosen to feature

:08:19.:08:22.

Hull as part of programme about life on benefits.

:08:23.:08:30.

Scunthorpe has already been there. It featured in a Channel four

:08:31.:08:33.

programme last year called Skint, which was criticised by some for its

:08:34.:08:42.

negative portrayal of the area. It makes people look like scroungers.

:08:43.:08:45.

At the Goodwin Community College in Hull this morning, where youngsters

:08:46.:08:48.

are given training to help them back into employment, there was real

:08:49.:08:51.

anger that the city could be featured for all the wrong reasons.

:08:52.:08:56.

We just got the City of Culture, which was hard to get, and we won

:08:57.:09:00.

it, and we were grateful. Now, they are going to make whole look like on

:09:01.:09:07.

Benefits Street. Would You Come To Hull? No. It's Not Just Going To

:09:08.:09:11.

Hurt People's Feelings, It Is Going To Cripple The Whole Area

:09:12.:09:15.

Business`wise And Make It Worse. They Aren't Interested In Coming To

:09:16.:09:19.

A City Like All That, Despite Decades Of Economic Woes, Has Pulled

:09:20.:09:24.

Itself Up Eyes Bootstraps. They Are Just Not Interested In That. They

:09:25.:09:27.

Are Not Interested In Hearing About Us As A Community, Because It

:09:28.:09:30.

Doesn't Sell Advertising. That Is Why They Are Making It.

:09:31.:09:33.

It's Touched The Nerve Of Local Politicians Too. Can I Just Express

:09:34.:09:39.

My Dismay That Channel Five seem to be proposing to do a further

:09:40.:09:42.

documentary about people living in benefits in the north, and have

:09:43.:09:46.

chosen Hull? I wonder if we could have a debate on responsible

:09:47.:09:48.

documentary making. Channel five says they are "in the process of

:09:49.:09:53.

filming a show in Hull on the topic of benefits and employment. It will

:09:54.:09:56.

feature as one of several locations in the UK within a series." It's a

:09:57.:10:00.

city that does have high levels of deprivation and unemployment, but at

:10:01.:10:03.

the moment, Hull is in the spotlight for all the right reasons and many

:10:04.:10:07.

people here want to keep it that way.

:10:08.:10:10.

Caroline's in Hull this evening. We've had national TV programmes

:10:11.:10:15.

featuring Scunthorpe and Grimsby recently. Why do Channel five want

:10:16.:10:18.

to come to Hull? Yes, Hull does have a lot to smile

:10:19.:10:22.

about but there is no getting away from the fact that Hull is the fifth

:10:23.:10:27.

most deprived city in the UK and to a television producer in London this

:10:28.:10:30.

would make Hull an ideal place to feature. And let's face it, they're

:10:31.:10:34.

unlikely to come here to the marina, for example, and show Hull's good

:10:35.:10:37.

bits. However, they've chosen the wrong time to do this. There's a

:10:38.:10:41.

real pride in this city now that wasn't perhaps here ten years ago

:10:42.:10:52.

and people want to protect that. For the first time, people in Hull now

:10:53.:10:56.

have something to throw back at the critics. Will a programme of this

:10:57.:10:58.

nature tarnish Hull's current reputation? Will it dent that pride?

:10:59.:11:03.

I don't think so. Well, let's throw that one open. Another story we'd

:11:04.:11:07.

like your thoughts on. Will any good come out of people in Hull taking

:11:08.:11:11.

part or will it hinder the image? Do you think it will harm the city? Or

:11:12.:11:15.

have these programmes been done already and no one will notice? If

:11:16.:11:26.

you want to be in touch, the text number is 81333.

:11:27.:11:28.

Police are trying to find the parents of a little boy who was

:11:29.:11:32.

found wandering on a street in Lincoln. They say the boy is

:11:33.:11:35.

believed to be about two or three and was wearing red slippers.

:11:36.:11:38.

Officers think he may be Eastern European and they want anyone who

:11:39.:11:41.

knows him to come forward. The Environment Agency has met with

:11:42.:11:44.

organisations from East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire to discuss

:11:45.:11:47.

what lessons can be learnt from recent flooding. More than a

:11:48.:11:49.

thousand homes were damaged along the Humber during last December's

:11:50.:11:52.

tidal surge. One resident from Burringham near Scunthorpe, who's

:11:53.:11:55.

still living with her neighbour, hopes action will be taken. The

:11:56.:12:03.

defence needs to be done along the river bank. I think that's the main

:12:04.:12:09.

thing. I hope we have learned our lessons and will do the work that

:12:10.:12:12.

needs to be done. It is a lot of heartbreak.

:12:13.:12:14.

Organisers of a cultural festival marking a hundred days until the

:12:15.:12:18.

start of the Tour De France say they need more groups to come forward to

:12:19.:12:22.

be part of the comes to Yorkshire. Events are being held across the

:12:23.:12:26.

county but just a handful are here in East Yorkshire, and only two were

:12:27.:12:29.

granted any of the funding set aside for the project. Tonight, the

:12:30.:12:34.

organisers have denied that East Yorkshire and Hull have been

:12:35.:12:36.

overlooked, and they want more groups to come forward to be part of

:12:37.:12:42.

the celebrations. A dance display to mark 100 days

:12:43.:12:46.

since the Tour de France will come to the reason. This event last night

:12:47.:12:50.

kicked up a festival running up to the start of the race, involving

:12:51.:12:54.

arts and cultural events across the region. It will involve things like

:12:55.:12:59.

this. This video artwork will be displayed at an art gallery in Hull

:13:00.:13:03.

from me, with help from an ?8,000 grant from the festival organisers

:13:04.:13:09.

Welcome To Yorkshire. I hope the effect of the wider festival will be

:13:10.:13:12.

very beneficial, and that people while they are in this area, will be

:13:13.:13:17.

attracted to come to Hull and see the wonderful museums and other

:13:18.:13:20.

displays that we have here at the gallery. When the tour comes to

:13:21.:13:24.

Yorkshire in July, none of the stages will be in the East of the

:13:25.:13:28.

county. But organisers say the Hull region will benefit from thousands

:13:29.:13:33.

of visitors bringing ?100 million to the local economy. This is the

:13:34.:13:35.

brochure setting out events that will be part of the 100 days of art

:13:36.:13:40.

and culture. In the opening, it says it will span the county, engaging

:13:41.:13:43.

the widest possible audience. Flip through to the map in the middle,

:13:44.:13:48.

and you can see that the 47 events, only three are listed as being in

:13:49.:13:52.

East Yorkshire or in Hull. More are being added, but of those, only to

:13:53.:13:57.

have been successful in getting any funding there were 28 applications,

:13:58.:14:02.

including a performance of A Taste Of Honey, which was rejected. He

:14:03.:14:09.

transforms into a show dog. This play is part of a festival in Hull,

:14:10.:14:13.

also listed as one of the tour's cultural events. But the organisers

:14:14.:14:16.

say they didn't even apply for funding, because they were made to

:14:17.:14:20.

feel it was not worth it. We got the feeling that most of the funding for

:14:21.:14:24.

the big projects would go to those in the leaves and Harrogate area,

:14:25.:14:28.

and that East Yorkshire, while it might be a conduit for people from

:14:29.:14:33.

Europe to that part of the world, it would not necessarily be a stop off

:14:34.:14:37.

point for people going to enjoy the race. Welcome To Yorkshire says it

:14:38.:14:42.

held road shows all across the region, inviting all types of

:14:43.:14:46.

applications. It was always clear that there were different strands to

:14:47.:14:51.

the festival, and that very clearly, it was not just about having events

:14:52.:14:56.

happening where the root of the race is going, although there was one

:14:57.:15:01.

specific strand for that. But everything else was about high

:15:02.:15:09.

quality work, imagination, vision. The organisers are still one groups

:15:10.:15:12.

from East Yorkshire to get involved, and more events will be added to the

:15:13.:15:20.

festival. Still ahead tonight: Hull City say

:15:21.:15:24.

their goalkeeper will miss the rest of the season after this collision

:15:25.:15:26.

at West Ham. And why our unhealthy eating habits

:15:27.:15:28.

could be making our pets too fat. We love to get your photos.

:15:29.:15:42.

Tonight's was taken by Vic Barnes. It is Wootton in North Lincolnshire.

:15:43.:15:46.

Thank you very much for that. We will have another picture on Monday.

:15:47.:15:53.

Good evening. How are you? Very well. I understand your weather show

:15:54.:15:58.

is one`year`old this weekend. Somebody in broadcasting said they

:15:59.:16:02.

didn't think it would last many weeks. Me, actually. Me as well! We

:16:03.:16:08.

have cloud spot is on this weekend, and you are a special guest, Peter.

:16:09.:16:14.

I know, this is a downhill part of my career, appearing on the weather

:16:15.:16:21.

show. Stevie Wonder and Bryan Adams, as well. What else do you want on a

:16:22.:16:26.

weekend? Let's look at the next 24 hours. Very promising. British

:16:27.:16:29.

summer Time starts on Sunday morning, and there will be some very

:16:30.:16:32.

pleasant sunshine developing. Inland, it will become warm, chilly

:16:33.:16:39.

along the coast. Drier air comes from the continent over the next 24

:16:40.:16:42.

hours. That will mean the weekend is looking very promising. It has not

:16:43.:16:48.

been a bad day, actually, better than we thought across parts of

:16:49.:16:54.

Lincolnshire. There has still been a keen easterly breeze. A lot of cloud

:16:55.:16:58.

further north. That will come and go overnight. There might be a bit

:16:59.:17:02.

patchy rain from the south`east for a time later. Clear spells

:17:03.:17:06.

redeveloped, a bit of low cloud further north, misty nurse in places

:17:07.:17:11.

where the lowest temperatures are down to six Celsius or 43

:17:12.:17:16.

Fahrenheit. The sun will rise in the morning at around 5:43am. Whole

:17:17.:17:21.

Victoria Dock at four minutes past five in the morning. A grey starting

:17:22.:17:28.

places. Patchy fog and mist will clear, turning Sunny quite quickly

:17:29.:17:34.

across The Wash. Sunshine pushes northwards. By lunchtime or shortly

:17:35.:17:37.

afterwards, much of our area will be bright, with good deal of sunshine.

:17:38.:17:42.

Let's look at the top afternoon temperatures. A cool breeze along

:17:43.:17:47.

the coast. Highs of just nine Celsius. Inland, 12 or 13. Further

:17:48.:17:54.

west, 16 or possibly 17 inborn. That is 63 Fahrenheit. Sunday looks good

:17:55.:18:01.

too. A grey starting places, the sun comes out, and temperatures in

:18:02.:18:06.

western parts again are 15 or 16 degrees. Get your shorts out. That

:18:07.:18:11.

is a kiss of death, if you mention that. Six o'clock on Monday on radio

:18:12.:18:15.

Lincolnshire and six o'clock on Saturday. You're going head`to`head

:18:16.:18:24.

with the man from the Cloud Appreciation Society. That is not a

:18:25.:18:29.

joke, as well. Have a good weekend. One of the key figures behind

:18:30.:18:32.

bringing the Siemens Green Port to Hull says it's just the beginning of

:18:33.:18:36.

more investment and jobs. The energy company announced this week that it

:18:37.:18:39.

was investing hundreds of millions of pounds in the Humber.

:18:40.:18:40.

more investment and jobs. The energy company announced this week that And

:18:41.:18:42.

there's now a huge sense of optimism for the future. Here's our Business

:18:43.:18:49.

Correspondent Paul Murphy. It has been a momentous week in

Hull. The ?310 million investment by Siemens will mean more than 1000

:18:56.:18:59.

wind turbine jobs are created into factories on the Humber. And it is

:19:00.:19:06.

claimed that is only the beginning. Optimism breeds success, so I think

:19:07.:19:10.

the scale in terms of the offshore wind side of things will be very

:19:11.:19:13.

big, and we haven't seen what will come from that. I am confident the

:19:14.:19:17.

announcements we have had today will be followed by others in the future

:19:18.:19:20.

which will support that, but also putting Hull very truly on the map

:19:21.:19:26.

in respect of being a city where things are happening. This was a

:19:27.:19:30.

last big industry here, employing thousands. It collapsed after

:19:31.:19:34.

political argument over fishing grounds. The trawlers used to come

:19:35.:19:39.

in there. For former trawler men like Ken, news a big investment lift

:19:40.:19:44.

his spirits. It is brilliant news. This town is going to be buzzing

:19:45.:19:49.

again, like it was in the 60s, 70s and 80s, with the fishing industry.

:19:50.:19:53.

This could be as big as that, if not bigger. In the wake of the old

:19:54.:19:59.

maritime industry here, a new one is emerging. Siemens is, according to

:20:00.:20:05.

one local MP, the biggest fish that Hull has ever landed. And the

:20:06.:20:09.

challenge now for communities all around the Humber is to make the

:20:10.:20:14.

most of the hand they have been dealt. We should never lose sight of

:20:15.:20:18.

the importance of the Humber. It has always been very successful. The

:20:19.:20:22.

decline of the fishing fleet and the industry hit Hull very hard, but we

:20:23.:20:26.

have actually always been very successful in maximising our key

:20:27.:20:30.

asset, which is the Humber. The first judge could be advertised

:20:31.:20:34.

soon. Construction work on the new factories will begin within months.

:20:35.:20:41.

The end of a very successful week for the Humber area.

:20:42.:20:44.

And there'll be an in`depth look at Siemens coming to the Humber on this

:20:45.:20:47.

weekend's Sunday Politics. That's from 11:15 on BBC One.

:20:48.:20:55.

The RAF's "Dambuster" squadron, which used to be based in

:20:56.:20:58.

Lincolnshire, has been disbanded as its Tornado aircraft are withdrawn

:20:59.:21:01.

from service. A special ceremony took place today at the famous 617

:21:02.:21:04.

Squadron's most recent base, Lossiemouth in Scotland. It'll be

:21:05.:21:15.

reformed in 2016 at its new location at RAF Marham in Norfolk.

:21:16.:21:24.

A few minutes ago, I told you about a little boy who had been found

:21:25.:21:27.

wandering in the streets of LinkedIn. The police have just told

:21:28.:21:30.

us that his father has contacted them, and they have now been

:21:31.:21:35.

reunited. Now, it is a rare but serious

:21:36.:21:39.

injury, and a collision with an opponent on Wednesday night has left

:21:40.:21:42.

Hull City's goalkeeper in hospital for at least another week. Alan

:21:43.:21:45.

McGregor suffered kidney damage during the game against West Ham

:21:46.:21:49.

United and will probably miss the rest of the season including the FA

:21:50.:21:52.

Cup semifinal at Wembley. More from our sports reporter Simon Clark.

:21:53.:21:54.

This was the incident which robbed Hull City of Allan McGregor for the

:21:55.:21:58.

rest of this campaign. The impact bought West Ham a penalty and

:21:59.:22:02.

McGregor a red card, but it's the impact on his health that most

:22:03.:22:11.

concerns manager Steve Bruce. I went to see him yesterday in the high

:22:12.:22:15.

dependency unit in London in hospital. He is in a lot of pain,

:22:16.:22:22.

and we obviously hope he is going to come through it. We expect him to be

:22:23.:22:27.

in hospital for the best part of the week. The lads send him their best

:22:28.:22:31.

wishes, and hope him a speedy recovery, but it does not sound good

:22:32.:22:38.

for him. But equally, I think if the referee had seen the handball

:22:39.:22:40.

before, I don't big it would have got to that stage. The Tigers could

:22:41.:22:44.

make changes looking for the magic formula that will give them their

:22:45.:22:47.

10th win following win number nine at home to West Bromwich last week.

:22:48.:22:53.

Former player Kevin Kilburn and things despite this setback, the

:22:54.:22:58.

Tigers are separate vintage year. Steve Bruce knows exactly what is

:22:59.:23:02.

needed to stay in the league. He has the live area size of various

:23:03.:23:06.

clubs. I think this will be his defining moment, especially as a

Hull manager. It will be a defining moment when he finally achieves

because of our unhealthy eating habits. More than half of pet owners

:24:22.:24:27.

in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire admit to feeding their dogs high fat

It's weigh`in day for Zed the border collie, who's got a bit of a sweet

Midlands, it's 54%. But Scotland tops the lardy league table, with

72% feeding their dogs unhealthy snacks. The pet charity PDSA says

owners simply don't realise they are causing any harm. A lot of pet

can have. It can cause diabetes, it can cause arthritis, and heart

After all, it is not the tenant's fault there is nowhere to move to.
