10/06/2014 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.

Two weeks of rain in 20 minttes ` exceptional downfalls are blamed

Dummies not allowed ` the fhght against tooth decay in toddlers

As I was watching last night, basically the drains were not

capable of taking it. They were not man enough.

Near Gainsborough, 22 milliletres of rain fell in less than half an hour.

Also tonight: Dummies not allowed ` the fhght

against tooth decay in toddlers Hull prepares for the arriv`l

of the Queen's Commonwealth Baton. And the strange knitted objdcts

appearing on one city's strdets And that the recent thunderstorms,

settled weather is on the w`y. The latest coming up shortly.

People living in parts of Lincolnshire affected

by flash flooding have been told that drains were overwhelmed

Two weeks' worth of rain fell in just twenty minutes.

Gainsborough, Horncastle and Blyton were `mong the

areas hit following the torrential downpour yesterday afternoon.

Lincolnshire County Council say they will investigate what happened.

We will hear from them in a moment, but first, Crispin Rolfe is live

Is the clean`up operation still going on now? Peter, in

Gainsborough, there is still an effort going on at this yard and

that some people's homes. L`rgely, it is over. But the problem is

people cannot relax. The latest studies suggest we will see more and

more some flash flooding, and that in itself could be a problel for

people in terms of knowing when the clean`up operation is compldte.

There is a drain and there that is not working. It is just not taking

the quantity of water. Flash floods in Gainsborough, which left John's

ground floor sopping wet. Today he and others are looking to the

authorities to improve drainage on the estate. Was devastating. There

was water running literally in the front door, in the back door. It was

seeping under the side of the house from a layman's view. While I was

watching it last night, bashcally, the drains were not capable of

taking it. Further down the road, Lorraine claims it is not jtst freak

weather at fault, but outdated drains. That was full right to the

top of the drain, where we couldn't use it once we had washed up last

night. It all flooded back. Yesterday, this train simplx did not

do its job, as you can see from the grass around. The water company say

this is because of the extr`ordinary amount of rain, meaning its sewers

could not cope, but insist that it is treating sewage as a priority.

Last night, I had to clean ` lot of sludge and human faeces awax from

the car so my kids could get in this morning. Today, it has also been a

clean`up for some shops at Marshall's Yard, but despitd the

council describing the rainfall is exceptional, latest research from

The Met Office and Newcastld University says we should all expect

more some flash flooding. Ydsterday, the air had its origins frol all the

way over North Africa, a lot of instability, and you can sed the

result on yesterday afternoon's radar sequence. Look at these vivid

greens that went through Lincoln and Gainsborough, and then throtgh

eastern part of the county `nd out into the North Sea. With totals like

two weeks' worth of rainfall in half an hour, flash flooding in these

situations is almost inevit`ble For Gainsborough, which

situations is almost inevit`ble For proper to develop in areas that

might already face a signifhcant flash flooding problems.

Mark Welsh is from Lincolnshire County Council,

an event that beats the drahnage system. I think systems in

Gainsborough will be similar to those elsewhere in the areas.

Gainsborough is growing raphdly The number of homes is expected to

double in the next 20 years. One councillor has said the drahnage and

infrastructure needs to be `ddressed before any more homes are btilt

there. Do you agree with th`t Councillor? I think that is true of

anywhere in the country. Thd way we have built hitherto is changing and

we will develop in very different ways in the future in terms of

sustainable drainage. A verx different way of building, very much

more green and open way than we do at the moment. What is the council

going to do, simply, in a sdntence, so that people watching tonhght who

are screaming at the television can have their fears allayed? Whenever

flooding takes place, we will always investigate, and we will investigate

what happened in terms of the particular event in Gainsborough,

and publish the recommendathons of what we find, and if there `re

actions to be taken, we will carry them out. Good to talk to you. Thank

you. We want to hear from you

on this story. should be able to cope with summer

storms like we saw yesterdax? A great loss ` the debate over

the proposed demolition of one Parents know that using

a dummy or bottle can somethmes to decay is caused by sugarx

drinks, while dummies can affect speech. Now, help teams are advising

parents to stop using them once their child reaches 12 months old.

Mums and dads with little ones will Mums and dads with little ones will

know they love putting things into their mouths. But at this

parents are being encouraged to parents are being encouraged to

think carefully about what they give think carefully about what they give

to their children. We do sed children drinking juice frol a

bottle, which is really bad from their teeth. Also, the use of a

dummy as well, the dummy should really be gone by the age of one.

Jennifer has four children, and has had trouble getting hurt oldest to

giving up the dummies. We g`ve him a dummy when he was first born,

because it could not sleep. He only has it now when he goes to bed, not

during the day. But my other children, we struggled to gdt the

dummies at them. But while parents and carers know that bottles and

dummies can soothe their chhldren, they may not realise about the

bigger health issues, like delaying speech and causing dental problems.

The latest figures show that more than a quarter of five`year`olds

across England have experienced to decay. In the East Midlands,

including Lincolnshire, the figure is slightly higher, with more than

29%. In Yorkshire and the Htmber, it is higher still. One third of

five`year`olds here have experienced DK. There are suites available, and

they all jumped for them, don't they, nowadays? I don't agrde with

my granddaughter having a bottle with Jews in, but it is the only

thing she will have. It is the frequency which they have these

drinks. Some organisations would now like to impose a tax on fizzy

drinks, using the money raised to improve children's health. The staff

here at the centre is safe parents are listening to their advice and

dumping the dummies and bottles This is a debate you have bden

having on our Facebook page. Don't forget to go online

and 'like' our page. Sarah says, "Just limit

the amount of sugar children have! "If they're thirsty, give them water

or sugar`free juice, not fizzy pop!" Diane says, "It's up to pardnts to

stop buying sugary drinks "and encourage healthier options,

not the government taxing the "product. Both of my girls will

happily drink water rather than Thank you very much for those.

A man has been found dead in a ditch in Lincolnshire. The 55`year`old was

discovered close to a golf club near Spalding and last night. Police have

described the death as unexplained, and are now trying to piece together

the man's final hours. A teenager from Lincolnshird who

suffered brain damage when he was knocked off his bike has bedn told

he can continue to stay at ` rehab centre in Surrey for now. Rxan Smith

from Skegness had been living at the centre run by the children's trust,

but his funding ran out. His father said transferring Ryan before his

family home was modified wotld have been unsettling.

Direct trains from Cleethorpes, Grimsby and Scunthorpe to

Manchester could end, according to the Cleethorpes MP Martin Vhckers.

Mr Vickers says he's seen documents suggesting

the journeys would stop at Sheffield or Doncaster if changes go `head.

The president of the Hull`b`sed business Arco will chair

an independent panel that whll look at plans to expand

the city's boundaries into other parts of East Yorkshire.

Hull City Council says the city needs to expand

into areas like Hedon to improve the area's economic prospects.

People in the East Riding who live near Hull will get a vote on

whether they want to join the city or stay in a separate area.

The leader of East Riding of Yorkshire Council wants things

Actually, this is a completd waste of time and effort on behalf of the

City Council. The public and welcome it, and we need to prove th`t beyond

doubt. It has proven to be the case with Siemens investment. If you look

at statistics, it is no different to many other cities throughout the

country. It is frankly a non`argument. Joining me in the

studio is the Deputy Leader of Hull City Council, Darren Hale. Good

evening. And much will this enquiry costs? At ?235,000, which p`id from

by the Council's kilowatts L dividend, its own in`house company,

so there is no taxpayer mondy involved. Is whole macro behng held

back by the current boundarhes, which don't take in the leafy,

wealthier suburbs? This is the reason for the enquiry. We share the

view that that might be the case. The centre for cities nationally has

published some evidence in the future the city 's world nedd to be

bigger to compete with areas like London, which are becoming like

monsters. Don't you know thd answer before you can start? You c`n't wait

to get your hands on places like Willoughby and Kirk Ella. Your Mac

are the reason for the independent commission, with what most people

recognise our independent pdople, is to look at this issue and sde

whether there is a case. Thdy will consider the evidence. If there is

no case, they will tell us that What about my comment about you not

being able to wait to keep the hands of these areas? And not surd that's

the case. That is why we have an independent commission to look at

the facts. You know the answer, don't you? This is what the body

will do, to see whether there is the case to take that the next level.

You can have all the and thhnk tanks in the world, but east riding a not

interested. You heard what the council leader said that, and we

have had messages from people. I heard what the leader said, yes But

people were writing in about this. I think the council leader possibly

has a vested interest. But H am talking about real people who wrote

in. They are not interested will stop as I say, there are a lot of

people in the East Riding, one e`mail to night said that there was

a strong case for extended boundaries. I think if we h`ve an

independent enquiry to look at the Kays and see if that is proven, and

to give us the evidence, cldarly, the sense of the cities are saying

that cities are being held back If you go to York, eight miles outside,

that is the city boundary. What you say to these riding person watching

now he doesn't want to be p`rt of Hull, a snob if you like, what is in

it for this person to be part of Hull? If you're in a band D

property, you would be paying hundreds of pounds less livhng in

Hull than in the East Riding. White so the answer is more counchl tax? I

think it would potentially tnleash economic development in this area.

We have had a good year with Siemens and City of Culture, but we could

unleash extra business and profit for this area. Lets see what the

people think. Thank you for coming in. If you have a view on this,

particularly if you live in the East riding or whole, the screen. `` the

contact details are on the screen. Thank you for watching. Still I

tonight: The Queen's Commonwealth Baton is

on its way to East Yorkshird and Northern Lincolnshire

as it heads to Scotland. And following the herring `

the unusual celebration Here is tonight's picture. Ht is

Bigby. Then he very much for that, Jimmy. Another picture to lhke at

about the same time. How yot? No schema less clout, there. A

correspondent says, why did Peter Leavey not do the ten K? Shd said,

he does not look fit enough to do ten feet, which just about sums it

up! I can't breathe, can I? A lot of people would prefer I didn't! Let's

look at the next 24 hours. Good news, settled weather on thd way.

Tomorrow will be one with some sunshine, is still some instability

out there, and a big thunderstorm currently in the Beverley area which

will move out towards the E`st Yorkshire coast, but this is what we

like to see. High pressure on Wednesday, and it should re`lly be

with us for the next few daxs, perhaps a few showers late on

Friday, but as we head into next week, high`pressure should lore or

less be with us, so I think a spell of settled weather is on thd way.

You can see thunderstorm is pushing up from the south`west, much more

scattered than they were yesterday. One across the south bank of the

Humber, however, goes through Beverley. They will continud to go

north`eastward, and all parts become dry, with clear spells overnight.

Lowest temperatures coming hn at about 11 or 12 Celsius. The sun will

rise in the morning at 4:31 a.m . The next high water time is in

Bridlington at 3:41am in thdir word. Wednesday looks set to be a lovely

day. Plenty of sunshine first thing, the chance of an isolate it light

shower in the West, but verx much the exception to the rule. @bout all

parts of the region will be dry and bright, partly cloudy skies and

spells of sunshine. A moder`te south`west Brazil first, falling

like later, and we are lookhng at a very pleasant temperature, 20 or 21

degrees in Hull and Lincoln. That is 68 Fahrenheit. Beautiful on

Thursday, fine and one, lots of sunshine around. Cloudy latdr, but

mostly it should stay dry into the weekend. A little bit cooler by

then, with a bit more in thd way of cloud.

A lady of impeccable taste. That has gone to your head! See you tomorrow.

The demolition of a Victori`n building in Hull has been ddscribed

as a great loss to the city if it goes ahead.

Wellington House is due to be knocked down amid fears it could

collapse because of structural damage, but that will mean one of

the few remaining buildings designed by the city's most celebratdd

Behind this scaffolding, thd broken windows, the warnings and the

general state of disrepair. The Wellington Hotel Normal, Told Is

Believed To Be one of the chty's most important buildings, bdcause of

the architect who designed ht. Hull born Cuthbert Broderick found his

fame in his designs of the Leeds Town Hall and the grand Hotdl in

Scarborough. His origins were in Hull, and it is where he st`yed

throughout his architectural career. Is too great buildings, Leeds Town

Hall and the grand hotel, stand as the most well`known among Vhctorian

architect. What his two findst in Hull gone. The Royal institttion was

destroyed in the war, and the Town Hall was replaced by the Guhldhall.

Some of the remains of the old town Hall can be found here need to the

children's playground in Pe`rson Park. This almost oriental looking

down would have formed part of the roof, but other than this, there is

very little that remains of Brodrick's more grand work within

Hull itself. Because of concern over structural safety, the Wellhngton is

next in line to go. We did want to keep the whole facade, and take the

rear out. The facade will effectively come down and crumble,

however. It is not in a gre`t condition, and we can't takd it down

slowly. Has real structural issues that won't allow that, so instead,

we have done the full digit`l copy and we will be building new

duplicate of the existing btilding. If somebody in the council said

stop, let's think about agahn, that would be the ideal, and it hs

something that is never too late, while the building is still

standing. English Heritage say they h`ve had

to reluctantly agree with the council's stance on this, so it

looks like another piece of Brodrick history will be lost, beaten by

time. Tomorrow morning,

the Queen's Baton Relay will arrive in East Yorkshire and

North East Lincolnshire on hts way to the opening of the Commonwealth

Games next month in Glasgow. Five people have been chosen

as "baton bearers" in Hull. They were nominated for

their involvement in communhty and work in sport throughout thd city.

Tolu Adeoye reports. The Queen's Baton has been

on the move since October last year, containing

a sealed message from Her M`jesty. Tomorrow,

it reaches Hull on its journey to People get so much enjoyment

out of it. Patrick Revel will be the fhrst to

carry it in the city. He was chosen for his voluntary work getthng

people, involved in sport. It was lhke,

"What? Me? No! It can't be." I was really, really, reallx

impressed that I had been chosen. Worried about doing something silly,

falling over with it! But I'll get through it,

I'm sure I will. 14`year`old Siobhan Eyre is

the youngest to be picked. It was a shock for her

and her family. When we saw it on the website,

we were like, "Oh!" We were very happy.

I've helped around my youth club. They're redecorating it, so I'm just

helping them paint the walls and I kind of look after the kids

a couple of years younger than me. The baton arrives in Hull

tomorrow morning at The Deep. From there, it will visit shx

schools from across East Yorkshire and North East Lincolnshire before

returning to Hull, where from 4 45, it will be shown off at

a public event in the city centre. Julie Williams will carry

the baton to the top of The Deep. Her fans aren't just the babies

in this group. She's been chosen for her work

developing trampolining in Hull I'm taking it up to the pinnacle

of The Deep. It's quite exciting,

because I've been to The Dedp a number of times, but I've don t

think I've ever been up there. I can't remember being up there

anyway. Andy Train will be the baton

bearer at the evening event. He's been picked for his work

for the lesbian, gay, bisextal I was always one of those khds

at school that never got picked for the team, and I think this is

what it's about, and it's jtst so wonderful to be actually selected

to be part of the team, to be given Organisers hope

the relay will replicate sole of the success of the Olympic torch, which

travelled through our area hn 2 12. The journey ends in Glasgow

on the 23rd of July, when the Queen will read the message that's being

carried by community and sporting heroes from across the world,

including those from here in Hull. Planes from RAF Waddington have

been rehearsing ahead of thdir Spectators waited to catch

a glimpse of the practise sdssion near the A15 between Sleaford

and Lincoln at lunch time. The procession of aircrafts and jets

will take part in the festivities you have got to be proud of them,

haven't you? The fact that they can do that with

such precision, yes. Unbelidvable, yes. It takes a lot of skill to fly

like that! The century hang`r will be like Buckingham Palace. @ good

day for it as well. A full scale knitted boat

and hundreds of fish, many made by people in Hull, are at

the centre of a unique celebration Follow The Herring is a touring

exhibition visiting coastal communities, which started hn

Scotland, and is currently hn Hull. 600 people and school

children have knitted items. Jill Archbold has been to sde

the exhibition before it opdns. In each to East Coast area time

history, knitted together. @nd it is all a bit more elaborate th`n a

fisherman's Tanzeem. Inspirdd by the work of the Herring Girls, this

exhibition is the hard work of millions of knitters, many of them

from Hull. People normally knit clothes, baby clothes, that sort of

thing, but to actually be p`rt of something that is unique, they won't

ever have done anything likd that before. I love the enthusiasm.

Follow The Herring was trained at two years ago, but it is not just

about knitting. Hull Truck will host performances of the fishing inspired

play Get Up And Tie Your Fingers. It means people can get involvdd in

something which is part of the unique national tour, bringhng

together the theatre, knitthng, crafts and community singing and

storytelling, and bringing them all together in a way that celebrates

our fishing heritage. Just like the Herring Girls, this exhibithon

started in Scotland and madd its way down the East Coast. In Hull, 6 0

people lent their handiwork knitting these herring who will join the

shoulder tour the rest of the country. The free exhibition on the

set of their cityopens tomorrow and just in case you forget, thdre have

been young bombing of the chty's landmarks.

Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines.

The energy regulator asks the big six energy firms while a he`ven drop

their prices. Lincolnshire County Council say they

will investigate the flash floods into the drains were overwhdlmed by

exceptional rainfall. Tomorrow, the weather: Dry `nd fine.

Some spells in the afternoon. Feeling very warm, temperattres

getting up to 2140 is in thd afternoon.

Your response on the flooding: Tiff says if you have ridiculously large

amount of rainfall short tile, this means devastating effect of the

drains were properly it shotld clear up the straight time. I think the

council needs to clear out the drains more often.

Dave says, early our solar system can no longer cope with the changes

to our rainfall. Audrey has e`mailed, saying the problel is the

increasing building and hard standing roads. Planners insisting

that the drains are increasdd to take up the extra run`off. We were

also to be about boundary changes. Kristin Cottingham said no, no, no.

We want to stay in the East Riding. Get these jokers in Hull City

Council away from our area. And the e`mail says, I live in Kirk

Ella, and I would not wish that the boundaries the change. I wotld have

concerns about my house price coming down. I think that the Hull City

Council are wanting us becatse they know we pay our council tax.

We have had a few people in favour, saying what is an inane? If it means

saving money, put me down for some. Have a nice evening. Thank xou for

watching. I will be back later. Goodbye.
