29/04/2014 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

Thank you very much. Goodbye from me. And on BBC One

Good evening, thank you for joining us. The headlines: The family of a

woman killed by a partially sighted driver call for a change in the law.

It is just horrendous that the driver has hardly got any vision at

all. He was allowed on the road. Something has to be done.

Also tonight, opposition to plans to build the country's tallest wind

turbines in Lincolnshire. All flights are suspended at East

Midlands Airport after a plane crashes on the runway.

And, can football anthems inspire Hull City two FA Cup success at

Wembley? And it was a cloudy start to the

day. It brightened up by nicely, how is it looking tomorrow? I will have

all the details. The family of a pensioner who died

after being knocked down and killed on a zebra crossing by a driver who

was, effectively blind in one eye, is calling for a change in the law

to prevent another death. 93`year`old Audrey Noden died six

weeks after being hit to you so ago. The 70 three macro 73`year`old

driver of the car is starting a two`year jail sentence after

admitting causing death by dangerous driving. He had a serious eye

condition and had been lying about being fit to drive.

This CCTV footage shows Audrey and her daughter Margaret approaching

the zebra crossing. We saw this car and it was going really slowly. We

assumed it was going to stop. So we started out on the crossing, and it

didn't stop. A second or two later, the care were hit on this crossing

by eight car driven by 73`year`old Peter Conroy. He suffers from a

degenerative eye disease. He admitted causing death by dangerous

driving and was jailed for two years yesterday. Earlier, Audrey's

daughters told me they believe there needs to be a change in the law to

prevent this happening to anyone else. It is just horrendous that a

driver who has hardly got any vision at all is allowed on the road.

Something has to be done, probably when you are applied to have your

license renewed when you are 70, maybe you have to have an

optician's note to say that you are able to drive. Warranty, all drivers

over 70 has to renew their licence every three years. They are required

to tell the DVLA about any condition that might affect their driving. Mr

Conway should have done this. In his case it was a case of self

certification that will continue his licence. He should have stopped at

that point. He knew it was on the form, he knew it was a criminal

offence to fall further details on that form, but he continued to do

so. And this was the result. Audrey's family wanted this footage

to be released to act as a warning to other drivers to prevent anyone

else experiencing the pain they have suffered. I had to go to my

mother's funeral in a wheelchair, and it was horrible. I just wanted

to walk again. I have not coped with my emotions at all. Audrey's

daughters hope motorists will now think seriously about whether they

are safe to drive. In a moment, there is opposition to

plans to build the country's tallest wind turbines in Lincolnshire.

A two`year`old is recovering in hospital in Hull after being hit by

a car. The incident happened on Sculcoates Lane about a mile from

the city centre, just before 5pm yesterday afternoon.

24 hours later, do we know what happened? All that remains to be

seen that an incident happened here is the yellow police markings here

on the road, but we do note that it was he on Sculcoates Lane that a

two`year`old girl ran out into the road and was hit by a car. I

understand that she did live on the estate behind me, and eyewitnesses

have described to me how she ran out into the road before she was hit.

Her family were here and close by at the time, and luckily, there was a

PC as Owen the neighbourhood he was one of the first at the scene. It

was 852`year`old woman driving a blue Mercedes who hit girl, and she

was understandably shaken `` a 52`year`old woman. There was a lot

of screaming. The parents were around. There was no screeching of

tyres. She apparently run out in the road and got knocked down by a car.

The driver was in shock. She could not say anything. I have been

speaking to many who live nearby. Although they are saddened by this

news, they are not entirely surprised that it has happened on a

road like this. There is a 30 mph speed limit, but as you can see,

this electronic sign behind me, the only thing that is registering

speed, and the only speed control in this area, and many residents are

calling for a reduction in that speed limit to 20 mph. At about 5pm

you have got traffic all the way down here. You have got loads of

kids down here from the estate. It is a bad road. My daughter has had a

near miss on it. The latest from Humberside Police this evening, that

this little girl is in a comfortable condition in hospital, but we do

know that she has been treated for fractures to the body and bad

grazing to her face. Now, more than 24 hours since this incident

happened, and Elise are keen to speak to anyone who might have seen

what happened here. `` police are keen.

More stories now from around our area.

A man from Grimsby who committed a number of sex offences over a 16

year period has been handed a five`year jail term. 53`year`old

Stephen Charlotte, who was first arrested in 2012, was today

convicted by a jury at Grimsby Crown Court.

Humberside Fire and Rescue Service has put forward plans to build a

training centre to recreate flooding. The ?3 million site could

be told in Grimsby. It would be the first of its kind and include a

water tank, enough to submerge vehicles. Last December, more than

1000 homes and businesses along the River Humber were affected by a

tidal surge. It is not a question of if these events will happen in the

future, it is when. We need to be as prepared as we can be. Humberside

suffers from all the different types of flooding, including tidal surges.

We need to make sure we are the best prepared in the country. A decision

is expected this evening on plans for nearly 1500 homes in Sleaford. A

developer and would include a primary school, health centre and

shops. The council is recommending the plans go ahead, despite some

concerns about an increase in traffic to the area.

Still ahead toll on ``: Dozens of flights are suspended from East

Midlands Airport after a plane's landing gear failed.

And, the soundtrack to success. The Hull city fans hoping to send their

side to victory in the FA Cup final. We want all the fans to get involved

more all singing and chanting at Wembley. They can certainly make a

difference. Tonight's picture is a real stunner.

If you have got a picture you are proud of, do send it in.

Electronically is best for us these days because we are high`tech!

Now, the weather. We started the day of on a cloudy

note, but it did brighten up. It will be a repeat performance through

tomorrow. It was a fairly cloudy start, particularly across the hills

and along the coast. But it did brighten up and we got some good

spells of sunshine, and it did feel quite pleasant with the breeze

remaining quite light. This evening it will stay mostly dry, but again,

missed and fog rolling in once again. The breeze will remain light

overnight, temperatures not much lower than seven or eight degrees.

Tomorrow morning, the sun will rise at 5:29am. It will be a pretty

similar start to tomorrow morning. Cloudy, misty and murky with sea fog

and hill fog, and there could be the odd isolated shower as we head

through the morning. It will gradually brighten up, but it will

be a slow process. Good spells of sunshine later in the day. For most

it should remain dry with just the odd shower possible. Coolest on the

A succession of whether France on reach 16 `` temperatures.

A succession of whether France on Thursday, meaning it will be quite

unsettled. `` weather fronts. Friday will be a fairly decent day with

plenty of sunshine, but it will be quite chilly. Unsettled through

Thursday with showers and longer spells of rain. Brightening up with

good spells of sunshine, but getting colder.

An energy company that wants to build a wind farm with some of the

tallest wind turbines in the country has been setting out its plans this

Lincoln Cathedral is 272 foot tall. A wind farm development in North

Yorkshire has national importance, which means it

is Westminster that ultimately decides whether it will go ahead,

rather than the local District Council that normally rules on

planning applications. Developers need a presentation today. They say

they expect to submit a formal planning application by the end of

next year. Join me now is Matt Smith from

renewables UK, the organisation that presents the renewables industry. Up

to 22 turbines, should local people welcome this wind farm? They should

because wind energy is helping us to have an affordable source of power.

What the developers are doing is absolutely right, coming in early,

talking to the community, setting out its plans and listening to what

people say, and the planning process will test that scheme and make sure

it is the right scheme for this location. What do you say to locals

who don't want this wind farm? It is best that they look at the proposals

that are on the table and engage with what is happening at the

moment. Equally, the need to realise that wind is supported, so there is

a poll out today from the government showing that 70% of the population

support wind. Yes, you said today that public support for onshore wind

is that record levels. That is a poll that the government released

today. The government needs to take stock. Last week, the energy

minister said there was a lack of support for onshore wind, yet their

own data says there is. You say that, but the wind farm bubble has

burst, hasn't it? The Prime Minister said last week that financial

incentives should not be in place any longer than necessary. I think

12% of the population say they oppose onshore wind. People see it

as a workable, positive technology. People back onshore wind ahead of

other... At Lincolnshire has already got 22 wind farms. It is one of the

three top areas in the UK for wind farms. Hasn't it done is fair

share? The planning decision has to look at humour at its capacity. But

companies will come in, set out their plans, and they are doing a

lot of work to engage and support the local supply chain. What do you

say to those watching tonight who don't want them? Look at the plans,

engage, but be aware that wind is a big part of our energy for the

future. Thank you for joining us. We would

be keen to hear your views on this one. Do get in touch.

We had a big response to Humberside Police cracking down on begging.

Charities say that 200 people in the area have no permanent address, but

police say most people who are begging are spending the money to

fund drink or drug habits. They say some beggars make as much as ?400 a

week. We heard yesterday that somebody and ?160 in half a day.

Thank you to all your comments. " I struggle to believe that beggars

should not begin from money is quite.

Thank you for all your comments. It is hoped that flights at East

Midlands Airport will resume in the next few hours. They have been

suspended all day after a cargo plane lost part of its undercarriage

and became stranded on the runway in the early hours of this morning.

Dozens of flights have been cancelled, and thousands of

passengers have been affected by the incident.

Mike O'Sullivan reports. Sheared off of this dramatic image posted on

Twitter shows the landing gear that parted from the stricken cargo

plane. The freighter plane lay stranded on the runway at East

Midlands Airport after landing from Paris at around 2:30am. The owners

of the plane say it is understood that part of the landing gear on the

left`hand side failed after it slowed down to exit the runway. It

has meant huge disruption for passengers. Buses laid on to other

airports by operators Thomson and Jet2. Initially we thought we were

leaving earlier than this. We thought we would be leaving at 7am.

But that has been a delay, there is a problem with the coach getting us

there. We will have to wait and see what happens. The staff have been

very informative. We have been told that we have now got to get a gusty

Manchester. We are flying out of there instead. But, for Ryanair

passengers, a different story. No buses for them. They have two book

again, or apply for a refund on mine. We got a text about him it's

before we got here to say it was cancelled. We were nearly here. We

have been in a queue for nearly three hours. They have not told us

anything. We don't know if we are getting a flight today. Late this

afternoon, lifting gear was brought in to move the cargo plane, which

was carrying parcels, and operated by an Irish company. Air accident

investigators have started an inquiry.

Our reporter is at East Midlands Airport. What have officials said?

Tonight, there is hope that the lifting operation is well underway

and that flights could resume here at about 8:30pm. As you say, people

are queueing up behind B. A flight to Alicante these people now

checking in. The owners of the cargo plane has said it is a well

maintained aircraft and have apologised for the inconvenience

caused here today. A team of inspectors from the Care

Quality Commission are checking hospitals in Lincolnshire over the

next three days. It is the first time they have stood side in the

county since the trust that runs hospitals was placed in special

measures last summer. The trust believe they are making progress. I

am anticipating that the team will be able to identify the improvements

we have made since last year. But also, it is important that we get

across to them that we know we have still got further improvements to

make and we understand what those improvements are.

Plans to close 30 libraries in Lincolnshire will be considered by

the High Court in London in July. The County Council says it needs to

save more than ?2 million, so it is looking for volunteers to run the

service. In speed town loan striker Colin

Jennings has been ruled out of bed semifinal matches against Gateshead

due to injury. If they get through to the final at Wembley, they will

be just one match away from a return to the football league. It is a good

mood in the camp, quite relaxed, but we are still a couple of days away

from the game. Each hour that passes by, nerves will start to kick in. As

long as we use that nervous energy well, there is nothing wrong with

that. With less than three weeks to go

until Hull City face Arsenal, an anthem is being recorded to spur on

fans and players. It is being billed as a fun song that all the fans can

sing along to. An FA Cup final anthem for the

Tigers. Sector to the Toy Dolls version of Chamakh Nellie the

Elephant. It is a cheesy song. Nellie the elephant is the perfect

song for what we are doing. It is quite a simple song, simple lyrics,

and in a matter of two or three lessons, hopefully everyone will be

chanting it on the terraces. Supporting the band, a group of

loyal fans. I think it is nice to do it for this occasion. I think the

song is all right, and these people are working hard for it. It has got

a catchy tune. Hopefully it will be a good day and they will be singing

it when they win the FA Cup. # Tigers are roaring, destiny is

calling... # football anthems may lift the spirits in the stands, but

success has not necessarily followed on the pitch.

The England team has quite a back catalogue of hits, from world in

motion in 1990, to Three Lions in 1996.

# Vindaloo... # All did well in the charts, but England did not bring

back a trophy. Do you think this could really make

a difference? Definitely, not only are we going to win the FA Cup, but

I think we have got a number one hit record on our hands. The song is

available to download on Friday, with all proceeds going to charity.

Come May 17, those behind it hoped fans will be in fine voice, sparing

the Tigers on to FA Cup glory. `` sparing.

Every cup of the main headlines: The teacher stabbed to death in Leeds

was due to retire. Police are questioning the 15`year`old boy

accused of killing her. A family call for a change in the

law after their mother was killed by a partially sighted driver.

A big response after we talked about the plans for a wind farm. Chris

says" people in Lincolnshire are against the modern, clean way to

generate electricity. Surely not. If it was a nuclear reactor we would

have something to worry about". Jean says, " people were prepared to

halve the amount of electricity used, then maybe they would have a

case". Tom says he is sick of people complaining about wind farms,

scenery is not in short supply and we need renewable energy.

Thank you for watching. Good night.
