the evening on the BBC News Channel. We are back at | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Good evening. A horse drive which was banned by the courts has gone | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
ahead in Hull. Around 25 horses and carts took part. Hull City Council | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
had secured an injunction banning the event from obstructing the | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
highway. Police say although it went ahead, it caused minimal disruption | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
as Tolu Adeoye reports. Galloping along the streets of Hull | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
in spite of an injunction trying to ban the drive from the city's roads. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
It's a long`standing tradition. And, apart from causing some traffic | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
delays, today's drive passed through without major disruption. Compared | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
to previous years, where we have had significantly more numbers, there | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
has been far less of a turnout this year. In terms of the event passing, | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
it's gone smoothly with that event so far. And this is what the city | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
council was trying to avoid ` scenes of chaos back in 2012 which lead to | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
disruption for local residents and businesses. Even though Hull City | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
Council had an injunction against today's drive, police had | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
intelligence that would still go ahead, so 35 officers have been on | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
hand to make sure it passes through safely. It's been a good day. A | :01:12. | :01:20. | |
really good day. Apart from the rain! Everyone is enjoying it and | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
getting on with it and that, so it's all right. It's part of tradition | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
around here come I think. They train the horses and it's nice to see it. | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
Crucially, the police say no public highways were blocked during today's | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
drive, with horses and carts congregating at public houses | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
between stops. So they say no action was taken against those involved on | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
this occasion. A service of remembrance has been | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
held to mark the 29th anniversary of the Bradford Stadium fire, in which | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
two football fans from Lincolnshire were among the 56 supporters who | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
died. Fire engulfed the main stand at Bradford City's Valley Parade as | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
the home team played Lincoln City in 1985. This morning, players, fans | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
and civic dignitaries held a minute's silence to remember the | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
events. Part of Grimsby town centre has been | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
closed again today as the council rips up newly`laid paving to carry | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
out repair work. The so`called "shared space" was finished in | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
December but paving on Bethlehem Street has been damaged by bad | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
weather and so it's having to be re`laid. | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
Listen carefully and you can hear as well as see the problem on one of | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
Grimsby's newest roads. This paving on Bethlehem Street was only | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
completed in December, but already it's failing and, in places, has had | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
to be patched. Today, work has started to dig it all up again. They | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
have been out here every single day since they supposedly finished it. | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
They were repairing it, changing it. They were out here yesterday, | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
digging up and replacing it. It is just continual. The whole thing is | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
rubbish. So I don't think it will last. When they do it again, I don't | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
think it will last again. They should have tarmacked it, really. | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
This is a shared space ` it encourages bikes, pedestrians and | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
cars to negotiate the area together. The council denies the fault with it | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
is in its construction. The work has been done right, it has been closely | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
supervised. The problem has been with the weather conditions. I don't | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
think we could have reasonably expected the huge amount of rain | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
that we had literally at the back end of last year and that is what | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
being the largest contributory factor to this. So the work has | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
started to put it right, with more disruption. It'll need to be fully | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
investigated, re`laid and the road closed off. And that's been worrying | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
businesses like this hairdressers. We have a lot of elderly people | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
coming in taxis, they won't be able to be dropped off. There are no | :03:48. | :03:56. | |
buses. So I think next week, yes, it will really affect business. But | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
there won't be any change to the layout despite continued concern | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
over its overall safety. The work is hoped to be completed by Thursday. | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
Firefighters are still working a recycling centre Scunthorpe after a | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
fire at the site last week. At one stage, 40 firefighters were needed | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
to control the fire which took hold in thousands of tonnes of waste | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
plastic on Wednesday. Officers say there will be a presence at the site | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
until they are confident there is no further risk. | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
It was a disappointing result for Tigers fans, beaten 2`0 at home by | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
Everton in their last Premier League game of the season. But there were | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
applause and cheers after the final whistle as Steve Bruce and his squad | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
came back onto the pitch to say thank you to the fans for their | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
support this season. The Tigers finished 16th overall and now have | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
to prepare for next weekend's FA Cup final. If we're being honest, we | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
have been safe for weeks, we've never been in any relegation | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
trouble. It's been very difficult the last month or so because | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
everyone has been talking about or thinking about the FA Cup final, so | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
thankfully this season has finished. We have finished where we finished | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
and we have got an FA Cup final to look forward to, thankfully. | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
Let's get a look at the weather now. Here's Jennifer Bartram with the | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
forecast. Good evening. Some further days of | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
unsettled weather to come. Through tonight, we continue to see the | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
showers moving in but they will become lighter and less frequent. | :05:20. | :05:36. | |
Any shots you have become more slow`moving. Some hail and funding | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
places. Some spells of sunshine between the showers. Temperatures | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
tomorrow up to around 12 or 13 degrees. As we go to the next few | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
days, keep the unsettled theme but then high pressure starts to build | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
so by Wednesday and Thursday, it is find with highs of 16. | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
That's all from Look North. We're back at 10:15pm tonight, straight | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
after the national news. Bye for now. | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
Good evening. We have still got some very heavy showers out there. For | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
ors we are finishing the day on a more positive note. Clearer skies to | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
the south indicating sunshine but the cloud still streaming in further | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
north. Tomorrow's forecast brings a similar mixture, sunshine and | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
showers although the winds will start to be lighter. That process | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
begins through the night tonight. A shattering of showers still | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
possible. Clearer skies across northern Scotland probably our | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
lowest temperatures here. For many temperatures will begin Monday | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
morning at around 8 or 9 degrees already with a few showers | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
morning at around 8 or 9 degrees think be drier spells in between, as | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
morning at around 8 or 9 degrees with the nature of showers, | :06:47. | :06:47. | |
morning at around 8 or 9 degrees not everywhere all of the time. | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
Cloudy with brighter spells mixed in across parts of northern England and | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
southern Scotland already with the potential of one or two to be heavy. | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
On northern Scotland on balance through the day on Monday while | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
there could be a few showers, a slight improvement here. But they | :07:03. | :07:03. | |
will start | :07:04. | :07:05. |
