:01:10. > :01:14.The policing minister has told BBC Look North cuts in officer numbers
:01:15. > :01:20.won't mean a poorer service for the public in the future. Humberside
:01:21. > :01:28.Police is facing the loss of 20 officers in the next four ydars The
:01:29. > :01:32.chief constable says the force will be re`designed so they can do more
:01:33. > :01:35.with less money. But in Lincolnshire they are still fighting for extra
:01:36. > :01:38.funds. We'll have more from there in a moment but in the first of
:01:39. > :01:41.tonight's special reports S`rah Corker asked Humberside's chief
:01:42. > :01:46.constable how she's going to make the force work in the futurd.
:01:47. > :01:54.Justine Curran's arrival was heralded as a new era for the
:01:55. > :02:00.Humberside force. It's been a year where she's received royal
:02:01. > :02:03.recognition for her services. Her officers have faced the challenges
:02:04. > :02:07.of policing EDL matches, and the chaos of December's tidal strge Her
:02:08. > :02:10.biggest test is cutting crile with fewer officers. It's roughlx around
:02:11. > :02:17.the 200 officer mark, and up to 500 police staff, so it is signhficant.
:02:18. > :02:21.I'm not ducking that. What we are doing at the same time is a lot of
:02:22. > :02:26.modernisation, a lot of changing how we work, how we use technology. Can
:02:27. > :02:29.you understandable conerns that this is restricting the force's `bility
:02:30. > :02:44.to fight crime? There is fewer officers and the same amount to do,
:02:45. > :02:47.if not more. Of course I understand the concern. I'm not saying, that's
:02:48. > :02:51.a fantastic thing for us, btt the reason I'm here is to be a bit more
:02:52. > :02:54.sophisticated about it than that. 21st`century policing is not as
:02:55. > :02:57.simple as having a cop on every street. And working with thd
:02:58. > :03:01.community and businesses dohng their bit to help police is seen `s the
:03:02. > :03:05.way forward. If you see a crime you should be able to stop it, not just
:03:06. > :03:08.leave it to the police or the community police. I still don't
:03:09. > :03:12.think you can beat seeing bobbies walking around and doing thdir job.
:03:13. > :03:16.I think it has a good effect. Higher crime rate. We have seen it in the
:03:17. > :03:20.local area already, in regards to break`ins. The force is increasingly
:03:21. > :03:23.sharing expertise. One dive team serves all Yorkshire forces. Mounted
:03:24. > :03:45.officers are hired in. So what's next? I don't think the merger of
:03:46. > :03:48.forces is on the agenda at the moment. What we need to do to make
:03:49. > :03:51.sure we are protecting our front`line officers in commtnities
:03:52. > :03:54.is to share where we can with those specialist functions I've t`lked
:03:55. > :03:58.about that are expensive and that we can do better together. When you
:03:59. > :04:01.first started, you said, I hope the commissioner leaves leaves policing
:04:02. > :04:04.to us. Has he done that or has he been interfering? No, he's not been
:04:05. > :04:08.interfering. The commissiondr's role is to set priorities, which he's
:04:09. > :04:11.done, to give us the budget we need and hold us to account. But it's my
:04:12. > :04:15.job to deliver policing. He respects that. With ?30 million of s`vings to
:04:16. > :04:18.make, top of the to`do list, designing a modern force th`t uses
:04:19. > :04:21.new technology to fight crile. Lincolnshire Police has argted for
:04:22. > :04:24.many years that the force is under`funded and today the county's
:04:25. > :04:27.police and crime commissiondr has welcomed a Government decishon to
:04:28. > :04:30.review the funding formula. This is the system which calculates how much
:04:31. > :04:33.each police force gets and `wards Lincolnshire the lowest amotnt per
:04:34. > :04:41.head in England and Wales. With more, here's Jake Zuckerman.
:04:42. > :04:44.Police and criminal justice minister Damian Green took to an est`te in
:04:45. > :04:54.Lincoln to see for himself the challenges that Lincolnshird Police
:04:55. > :04:57.face. His visit today, an opportunity for those involved in
:04:58. > :05:02.policing in the county to mdet and lobby for a better deal. If I look
:05:03. > :05:05.in my crystal ball, the pot of money for policing is shrinking. Ly
:05:06. > :05:09.mission is to make sure Lincolnshire gets a fair share of that, `nd as a
:05:10. > :05:11.smaller force that's really quite efficient already, we've bedn
:05:12. > :05:15.impressing upon the Minister the need to fund Lincolnshire police
:05:16. > :05:18.properly at the cost of being in business. Lincolnshire Police has to
:05:19. > :05:21.save nearly 20 mini implants by 2015. The force says it has already
:05:22. > :05:24.made considerable progress reducing the number of police officers by
:05:25. > :05:27.106, and outsourcing back`office functions to private companx G4S.
:05:28. > :05:31.But in January, the Governmdnt cut a further ?1 million from the budget,
:05:32. > :05:36.a move which led to this re`ction by police and crime commissiondr Alan
:05:37. > :05:39.Hardwick. We have here the Government performing what H can
:05:40. > :05:42.only describe as a slight of hand, picking the pockets of the people of
:05:43. > :05:46.Lincolnshire and other counties by giving us money with one hand, and
:05:47. > :05:48.taking millions of pounds b`ck with the other hand. Today, the Linister
:05:49. > :05:51.confirmed the Government is reviewing the funding formula that
:05:52. > :05:54.determines how much money Lincolnshire Police receives, a move
:05:55. > :05:56.welcomed by the police and crime commissioner, who says the current
:05:57. > :06:00.arrangement unfairly discrilinates against the county. But in the short
:06:01. > :06:11.term, there was no immediatd promise of extra cash. We'd all likd to see
:06:12. > :06:14.us having more money but I don't think that's on the table. We want
:06:15. > :06:25.to make sure there's no further drastic cuts for the Lincolnshire
:06:26. > :06:28.police force. They have dond the best that they can, and the way they
:06:29. > :06:32.are is making sure Lincolnshire doesn't suffer perhaps as mtch as it
:06:33. > :06:36.might do if it's just a str`ight 5% cut across the nation. The chance to
:06:37. > :06:39.speak directly to the Minister is a rare opportunity, and those in
:06:40. > :06:42.charge of Lincolnshire's force will hope they have managed to influence
:06:43. > :06:51.government thinking. Earlier I spoke to policing minister Damian Green. I
:06:52. > :06:54.started by asking him if thdre was any truth in Alan Hardwick's claim
:06:55. > :06:57.that Government was picking the pockets of people in Lincolnshire.
:06:58. > :07:00.What we did was topside somd money to give to the Inspectorate and the
:07:01. > :07:04.Independent Police Complaints Commission, and I think havhng a
:07:05. > :07:06.strong Inspectorate and a strong complaints commission is re`lly
:07:07. > :07:11.important at a time when we want to restore public confidence in police.
:07:12. > :07:14.We know there have been lots of scandals, and strengthening those
:07:15. > :07:22.bodies in the long run helps the police. Lincolnshire has thd lowest
:07:23. > :07:26.cost of policing in England. It is getting a raw deal, isn't it? I
:07:27. > :07:39.don't think so. One thing I have learned today is how effecthve
:07:40. > :07:42.Lincolnshire has been. It h`s to live within the financial
:07:43. > :07:45.constraints we have. The fact they have this ten`year contract of using
:07:46. > :07:48.the private sector, it not only saves money but it makes thdm more
:07:49. > :07:52.effective. They are answering 9 9 calls quicker than ever. Yot touched
:07:53. > :07:54.on the funding formula todax. Is Mr Hardwick right when he says
:07:55. > :07:58.Lincolnshire is discriminatdd against in the way the fundhng is
:07:59. > :08:08.worked out? Is it something you will look at? We are looking at the
:08:09. > :08:11.funding formula. It is a long job. The current formula was cre`ted
:08:12. > :08:15.eight or nine years ago. It was meant to be temporary. It is so
:08:16. > :08:19.difficult to change. I have set in train a root and branch look at the
:08:20. > :08:23.formula so we can be as fair as possible to all parts of thd
:08:24. > :08:27.country. We have been talking to Justine Curran. She says thdy have
:08:28. > :08:31.got to lose 200 officers by 201 . Don't we have to accept that
:08:32. > :08:35.policing can't or won't be `s good in the future as it has been in the
:08:36. > :08:39.past, when we talk about nulbers like that? No, I don't think so We
:08:40. > :08:42.don't know what the financi`l settlement will be after 2006. More
:08:43. > :08:45.importantly, one of the things forces are doing is much grdater
:08:46. > :08:47.levels of collaboration across force boundaries than ever before. In
:08:48. > :08:56.Lincolnshire, they are part of East Midlands Consortium. That's
:08:57. > :08:59.behind the scenes. I am talking about police officers, 200 by 2 18.
:09:00. > :09:03.They can't sustain that, or if they can, they were overstaffed hn the
:09:04. > :09:05.first place. It is because xou can save money on the back`office
:09:06. > :09:09.functions, or specialist functions such as firearms officers, ht means
:09:10. > :09:12.you can police more effectively and are spending less on the back
:09:13. > :09:15.office, which gives you mondy to spend on front line officers. Have
:09:16. > :09:18.the crime commissioners been a success? Reading e`mails from
:09:19. > :09:24.viewers over the last 18 months or so, they don't seem to think so
:09:25. > :09:28.Have they worked? They are certainly not a waste of money. They cost less
:09:29. > :09:32.than the old police authorities which were invisible and whhch
:09:33. > :09:35.nobody ever noticed. As I go round the country, I see a lot of police
:09:36. > :09:38.and crime commissioners of `ll parties coming up with innovative
:09:39. > :09:41.ideas, working well with thdir chief constables to make sure polhcing
:09:42. > :09:48.moves into the 21st century, using technology better. It is a fresh
:09:49. > :09:52.pair of eyes, which is useftl for an organisation. What about thd
:09:53. > :09:57.carry`on between Mr Rhodes `nd Mr Hardwick over the last few lonths?
:09:58. > :10:07.That has been a bit of a pantomime. Well, it was an unfortunate
:10:08. > :10:11.incident. I am glad it is over. I am glad Neil Rhodes is confirmdd in his
:10:12. > :10:14.post. He's doing a good job in Lincolnshire. Crime is fallhng in
:10:15. > :10:18.Lincolnshire. I think we can put that behind us. Final questhon. If
:10:19. > :10:20.you were starting again, wotld you have crime commissioners ag`in? Yes,
:10:21. > :10:24.I would. Having locally elected people who hold the police force to
:10:25. > :10:27.account is good for democracy, and it is good for the police. Ht has
:10:28. > :10:31.raised consciousness about the police. That is good for thd police
:10:32. > :10:35.themselves. If it is good for the police, it is good for all of us
:10:36. > :10:39.because it makes our streets safer. Good to talk to you tonight. Thank
:10:40. > :10:49.you. We want to hear from you on this story, do you agree with the
:10:50. > :10:52.policing minister? Do you think you can cut officer numbers without
:10:53. > :10:54.reducing the quality of service Maybe you have a view on police and
:10:55. > :11:23.crime commisioners as well? The body of a woman has been found
:11:24. > :11:26.in a house in Hull. Police say they were called to an address in
:11:27. > :11:32.Bransholme last night. The death of the woman, who was in her 40s, is
:11:33. > :11:35.being treated as unexplained. Portland Street in Lincoln was
:11:36. > :11:43.closed today after a lorry got a wheel stuck in a collapsed sewer.
:11:44. > :11:46.Anglian water say the probldm is five metres below ground level and
:11:47. > :11:49.will take several weeks to repair. They have apologised for thd
:11:50. > :11:56.disruption and say the road will remain closed in the meantile.
:11:57. > :12:00.It will be the UK's largest solar energy farm ` and it'll be built at
:12:01. > :12:22.RAF Faldingworth just outside Market Rasen. But despite claims that the
:12:23. > :12:25.farm will produce enough endrgy for 12,000 homes, people living nearby
:12:26. > :12:40.insist it should never have been given planning permission. Crispin
:12:41. > :12:43.Rolfe has been to find out why. Open space, open skies ` making
:12:44. > :12:47.Lincolnshire possibly the pdrfect place for renewable energy solar
:12:48. > :12:55.farms. This latest, potenti`lly the UK's largest so far to be btilt here
:12:56. > :12:58.at RAF Faldingworth by Lunar Energy. The planner's green light ghving the
:12:59. > :13:01.go`ahead to a solar energy farm the size of 210 football pitches, with
:13:02. > :13:21.permission for 196,000 panels, enough to power 12,000 homes. The
:13:22. > :13:25.thrust must be on Brownfield site. That is what the council insists
:13:26. > :13:40.this former airbases. Neighbours say they are wrong. The issue is we are
:13:41. > :13:47.using agricultural land. Thdre are more on the way. Lincolnshire
:13:48. > :13:54.already has six solar farms, and four more are `` and more are
:13:55. > :13:58.proposed. Not the sunniest day for this solar farm outside Skegness.
:13:59. > :14:06.Lincolnshire ordinarily recdives about 1500 hrs of sunshine ` year,
:14:07. > :14:09.rivalling the likes of Devon and Cornwall, which has seen a rise in
:14:10. > :14:15.the amount of solar generathon. It has prompted a campaign for real
:14:16. > :14:18.England to talk about the industrialisation of the
:14:19. > :14:25.countryside, and a battle bdtween agriculture and energy.
:14:26. > :14:31.Lincolnshire's land is worth a huge amount for food security re`sons. We
:14:32. > :14:41.would be crazy if we don't say solar is OK on agricultural land. The
:14:42. > :14:58.issues around food security are here today. Sheep graze alongsidd solar
:14:59. > :15:00.farms. This ?NEWLINE Still `head tonight: The town in Lincolnshire

:15:07. > :15:08.And fans queue through the night for the chance to see Hull City play at
:15:09. > :15:23.Wembley in the FA Cup. There has been a lot of smoke
:15:24. > :15:34.around. Not too bad now part the world. This is a photograph tonight.
:15:35. > :15:41.You can see the flood barridr. It is on the left near my flat. The
:15:42. > :15:45.question is, how we been affected by this high air pollution? New line
:15:46. > :15:51.yes, we have. At the start of the week, it was very high. What we have
:15:52. > :15:54.just seen is missed. That is not pollution. The area that has been
:15:55. > :16:06.affected today is southern part of Lincolnshire and into north`west
:16:07. > :16:15.Norfolk. Further north, not any problems. Tomorrow, we clean the air
:16:16. > :16:24.up. There will be a south`wdsterly which will show the escalathon back
:16:25. > :16:32.into the North Sea. No problems In the short term, there will be
:16:33. > :16:49.further problems. The cloud will be think this evening. A bit of results

:17:04. > :17:08.sun will rise around 630 a.l.. Another slow start. A bit of patchy
:17:09. > :17:12.light rain. Gradually, it whll fizzle out. As looks dry by the end
:17:13. > :17:18.of the morning. The clouds will break up. Practice dive with some

:17:57. > :17:59.Peter, I know Thomas very wdll. You'd be better checking thd
:18:00. > :18:03.seaweed. That will get back to him. H had
:18:04. > :18:06.absolutely nothing to do with that whatsoever.
:18:07. > :18:11.When the people of Holbeach faced losing their local NHS hosphtal
:18:12. > :18:14.they decided to run it themselves. 25 years on and they now not only
:18:15. > :18:18.own the hospital, they've increased the number of beds and servhces they
:18:19. > :18:26.offer. Those behind it say they can't understand why other
:18:27. > :18:30.communities aren't doing thd same. Vicky Johnson has been at the
:18:31. > :18:32.hospital today. It looks like many other NHS hospitals, but as Dorothy
:18:33. > :18:43.here has recently discovered Holbeach is run for the loc`l
:18:44. > :18:46.community by the local commtnity. It has been lovely. I hadn't rdalised
:18:47. > :18:50.until now that it wasn't NHS. 25 years ago, when the local NHS
:18:51. > :18:54.needed to save ?600,000, thd hospital was threatened with
:18:55. > :19:01.closure. But local people wdre having none of that and rallied
:19:02. > :19:05.round. We recognise that with a business plan we put togethdr, we
:19:06. > :19:07.could run it with half the cost We have maintained that efficidncy ever
:19:08. > :19:10.since. So they've cut costs by bringing
:19:11. > :19:13.services like catering and laundry back in house. Many here can't
:19:14. > :19:23.understand why other communhties haven't followed suit. I fedl less
:19:24. > :19:29.is the future. With Wigan h`ve smaller units, community`based, they
:19:30. > :19:32.would be far more cost effective. The hospital is run not for profit
:19:33. > :19:35.and makes money by providing services like outpatient clhnics and
:19:36. > :19:45.nursing care beds on behalf of gps and other hospitals. Local residents
:19:46. > :19:52.take great pride in its success They certainly do, yes. People feel
:19:53. > :19:56.it is theirs. If people don`te money, they can see where it is
:19:57. > :20:00.going to. When we have events, people will come and look around.
:20:01. > :20:05.Here, they are not what abott profit. They are just worridd about
:20:06. > :20:09.the care and looking at people. That is all they are interested hn. You
:20:10. > :20:12.should team has big plans wdre the future, from increasing the number
:20:13. > :20:17.of beds to building a speci`list dementia unit, so far from losing
:20:18. > :20:22.services, this community hospital seem to be going from strength to
:20:23. > :20:26.strength. A referendum to find out whdther the
:20:27. > :20:36.villages surrounding Hull w`nt to become part of the city will take

:22:15. > :22:18.there with our tickets. Get in! Dan Stanyon was first in the qudue.
:22:19. > :22:19.Banter and football tales hdlped him endure the chilly temperatures and
:22:20. > :22:22.Saharan smog. I managed to get the day off work.
:22:23. > :22:26.It's a once`in`a`lifetime opportunity to see Hull Citx in the
:22:27. > :22:29.semifinal of the FA Cup. Three goals in ten minutes against Sunddrland
:22:30. > :22:34.last month sealed the Tigers' first FA Cup semifinal since 1930. It s a
:22:35. > :22:37.result that prompted hundreds to set early alarms and join fellow fans
:22:38. > :22:45.ahead of the ticket office doors opening, 12 hours after thehr long
:22:46. > :22:48.wait began. It's an absolutely fantastic
:22:49. > :22:51.commitment from the supportdrs, and it shows how the supporters are
:22:52. > :22:56.embracing the competition and the fact that we're going to Welbley.
:22:57. > :22:59.That kind of commitment, to stay out all night and wait for your ticket,
:23:00. > :23:02.it's everything you need to know about how the supporters vidw the FA
:23:03. > :23:05.Cup, and hopefully we'll be victorious in it. Tickets in hand,
:23:06. > :23:09.the road to Wembley awaits. Thought it might be touch and go at
:23:10. > :23:14.some points to get it, but pleased I've got it in my hand and now I'm
:23:15. > :23:18.going! Ecstatic, mate. Just going to go home now, chill out, bed. In
:23:19. > :23:23.fact, no, I'm off shopping with the Mrs. She can buy what she w`nts She
:23:24. > :23:26.can buy what she wants now. A potentially expensive day, then for
:23:27. > :23:37.one fan, no doubt keeping fhngers crossed ` and the tent handx ` for a
:23:38. > :23:41.place in the final. In this evening's rugby league, Hull
:23:42. > :23:44.FC host Salford in the fourth round of the Challenge Cup The Bl`ck and
:23:45. > :23:48.Whites were last season's fhnalists when they lost to Wigan Warriors.
:23:49. > :23:56.And you can listen to full latch commentary tonight on BBC R`dio
:23:57. > :23:59.Humberside. Kick off is at 8.00 Lincoln city fans reminisced about
:24:00. > :24:04.the glory days when Graham Taylor's team rewrote the record books, and
:24:05. > :24:08.when Colin Murphy got the chimps promoted. While they were whnning
:24:09. > :24:11.everything in sight, they dhd it with the famous Lincoln Imp on their
:24:12. > :24:20.chests. It is making a return to the team. In the early days, Lincoln
:24:21. > :24:30.city didn't have the same as Imp on their shirts. `` the famous Imp on
:24:31. > :24:34.their shirts. In 1976, when Lester Piggott won a record seventh derby,
:24:35. > :24:40.Patti Freeman was walking on water as the Imps were promoted to the
:24:41. > :24:45.third division. We got a record number of goals. A record ntmber of
:24:46. > :24:58.points. A record number of wins I mean, it was unbelievable. We choose
:24:59. > :25:01.to touch the Imp before we went out. In 1981 as looks fizz won the
:25:02. > :25:06.Eurovision Song contest in the world watched Prince Charles marrhed Lady
:25:07. > :25:12.Diana Spencer, the game was on Tony Cunningham's shared as Lincoln were
:25:13. > :25:16.promoted once again. We nevdr went out expecting to lose. We wdre very
:25:17. > :25:27.confident. We didn't take anything for granted. We worked hard. We
:25:28. > :25:32.played the game very physic`lly I don't think anybody ever gave up.
:25:33. > :25:37.Next season, the impact that enjoyed these scenes is back on the shirts.
:25:38. > :25:41.If you look back at past glories under Graham Taylor and Colhn
:25:42. > :25:47.Murphy, the Imp was on the shirt and it seems right to bring it back this
:25:48. > :25:52.season. The Imps take her nhckname from a cheeky chirpy that lhves here
:25:53. > :25:57.in Lincoln Cathedral. It is actually a little devil. 20p helps you find
:25:58. > :26:03.him and liked him up. It sits below the angels of heaven, as a reminder
:26:04. > :26:07.that good must overcome evil. There is no doubt the fans will bd proud
:26:08. > :26:14.to see the back, but the return they are really after is the Football
:26:15. > :26:20.League. We will get in the headlines.
:26:21. > :26:24.Stranding on cigarette packdts in the UK if effectively banned. An
:26:25. > :26:30.independent review said the move would cut smoking and make
:26:31. > :26:33.cigarettes less appealing to young people. Humberside's chief constable
:26:34. > :26:36.says the loss of 200 police officers won't mean a poorer service.
:26:37. > :26:50.Tomorrow's weather: we have been talking about the
:26:51. > :26:56.policing situation in Lincolnshire and Humberside. This is frol a
:26:57. > :27:03.serving officer, and wants to remain anonymous. The chief constable of
:27:04. > :27:08.Humberside police is talking rubbish. We as a force are totally
:27:09. > :27:15.demoralised, underfunded and our bosses are always telling untruths
:27:16. > :27:19.to the press. Another one hdre, I am a serving officer in Humberside at
:27:20. > :27:24.the moment, losing 200 officers will have an adverse effect on the force.
:27:25. > :27:31.More and more work is being put on everyone in the force, and they
:27:32. > :27:33.expect even better results. Team Humberside is being worn down, we
:27:34. > :27:38.need to recruit more officers, not lose them.
:27:39. > :27:42.Both of those are from servhng officers who are watching the
:27:43. > :27:44.programme. Thanks for watchhng. Good night.
