Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
?200 million from the Government to boost the economy here. A quarter | :00:09. | :00:16. | |
will go on flood defences. The four`year`old waiting for eczema | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
treatment as doctors debate the price of it. | :00:20. | :00:43. | |
For me to have two say you can't have it, she doesn't understand it. | :00:44. | :01:09. | |
It is not fair. I will be back with the details of the forecast. | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
Millions of pounds is to be spent on flood defences on the banks | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
of the Humber to protect more than 60,000 properties. | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
The announcement is part of a ?200 million spending package | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
for this area to attract investment and create jobs. | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
Tonight one of Hull's biggest private sector employers which | :01:26. | :01:41. | |
suffered millions of pounds worth of damage during the tidal surge says | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
Sarah Corker has been looking at the figures. | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
The Humber is getting ?103 million of government money for 12 projects. | :01:48. | :01:57. | |
And it's estimated that will help to safeguard or | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
Now almost half of that money, ?48 million, | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
December's tidal surge exposed Hull's vulnerability to coastal | :02:04. | :02:16. | |
flooding, inundating businesses and homes along the Humber. | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
Today, the port director told me improved | :02:19. | :02:26. | |
flood defences protecting 68,000 properties will help to attract news | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
It's very important for the multi`million pound businesses, many | :02:29. | :02:38. | |
businesses up and down the estuary, and those who are about to relocate | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
here that they feel confident that the Government understand that we | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
And smaller businesses like this seafood company are now | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
We can look at a new fleet and vehicles. It is very welcome. It has | :02:52. | :03:04. | |
been difficult. Improved defences also means | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
thousands of homes in North There's money too to support | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
the electricifcation of the Hull to Selby line and | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
for an enhanced footbridge over Lincolnshire will share ?111 million | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
between 15 projects focusing It'll be used to build up to 2,000 | :03:17. | :03:27. | |
new homes Lincolnshire has so many transport | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
bottlenecks, such an extensive road network, so we've really focused | :03:33. | :03:46. | |
on some of those key bottlenecks and making sure government | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
understands the need to put money Economic development comes | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
from that. The biggest share of that money, | :03:52. | :04:06. | |
?16 million, will be spent on the long`awaited Grantham relief | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
road to cut congestion in the town. Each local enterprise partnership ` | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
made up of businesses and councils ` has had to bid | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
for the money from the Government. These growth deals are | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
a massive transfer of money, of power from Whitehall to local areas | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
like this so that they can build The idea is that local people know | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
best about how and where investment is needed | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
helping businesses to flourish. There's a real focus on skills | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
and training too. In Lincolnshire they'll be | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
a new science and technology park at University | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
of Lincoln, an agricultural college is to be built at Lincolnshire | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
showground and a business park Three colleges in Grimsby and Goole | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
will get money for specialist training | :04:42. | :04:52. | |
for the renewables industry. All these projects set | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
to start next year. Earlier I spoke with Noel Waters | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
from Smith and Nephew, a leading medical product manufacturer in Hull | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
who were flooded during December's He told me about | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
the impact it had on the business. There was major damage to the site. | :05:02. | :05:24. | |
All our head offices were flooded. It had a major impact on our ability | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
to continue to supply from this site. How much it cost the business | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
in total? We are still going through that, but | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
it is many, many millions. In excess of $20 million. Good grief. Did it | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
make you consider your position at the side of the Humber? Would you | :05:47. | :05:55. | |
move? It was a great concern, particularly when we realised the | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
flood defences were in such a poor state. The levels were considerably | :06:01. | :06:11. | |
below where we had, where it grows to. What about today, with this use | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
of ?3 million going to the Albert Dock? Does that make you feel | :06:16. | :06:23. | |
differently? It is excellent news, for the city of Hull and all the | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
businesses in this area. Quite clearly, it makes us feel more | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
secure that we will be protected from the scene, but we are taking | :06:32. | :06:42. | |
some of our own precautions as well. Can you make a firm commitment that | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
you are staying? Yes, well, we are committed to Hull. We have a | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
long`term commitment Hull. The business started eliminating 56. We | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
have got this business back up and running. `` the business started | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
back in 1856. Thank you very much. In a moment: How this driver turned | :07:07. | :07:15. | |
the tables on the parking warden, using CCTV to prove the authorities | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
wrong. A four`year`old girl with severe | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
eczema is having to wait to get access to medication, even though | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
it's been prescribed by a hospital consultant. The girl's mother | :07:31. | :07:40. | |
believes the drugs are being withheld because of the price, and | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
says if she lived elsewhere they would be available. A national | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
patients' group says cases like this are becoming more common since local | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
doctors were given more power over This, what we're looking at now, | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
is quite good. When she starts scratching, | :07:51. | :08:02. | |
it bleeds, Her feet, her hands, | :08:03. | :08:03. | |
and all over her body. Four`year`old Kacey suffers | :08:04. | :08:12. | |
from severe eczema. It's only her face | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
which is clear from the condition. It's there all the time, | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
it never goes away. For Kacey, I can't begin to | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
imagine what this is like for her. According to Katylee, | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
Kacey was prescribed special bandages and steroid creams | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
on 3rd June by her consultant On 5th June, | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
her GP surgery refused to issue it. Her case was reviewed last week | :08:31. | :08:40. | |
on 3rd July by the local Clinical Commissioning Group, | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
which overseas GP care. But the following day, the GP | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
practice told her they'd have to wait for confirmation in writing, | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
which could take up to ten days and then it would then be another | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
week before her medication arrives. It makes me angry, it makes me | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
upset and it's disheartening. For me to come out | :08:56. | :09:06. | |
of that surgery and say you can't have it, which she can't understand, | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
it's not good enough. Hull Royal Infirmary says it hasn't | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
prescribed anything out of the ordinary, body bandages | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
and topical creams, suitable To make matters worse, Katylee | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
believes it's because she lives here in Hedon in East Yorkshire that her | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
daughter didn't automatically get But if she lived a few miles | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
down the road in Hull, it would have been a more positive | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
outcome from the start. Ruth Marsden from patient group | :09:31. | :09:39. | |
Healthwatch says cases like these aren't unusual now that decisions | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
are made at a very local level. Most people assume that their | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
relationship with their GP, because of the personal nature of that, | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
means that their GP can pull out of his clinical hat whatever they | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
may require for their condition. Now unfortunately | :09:51. | :09:59. | |
a GP is not entirely a free agent, he is governed and, | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
in many ways restricted, both Kacey's mother says she's worried | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
about how much longer she'll have to wait to get the medication her | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
daughter so desperately needs. We want to hear from you on this | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
story. Have you had a similar experience to Kacey? Do you think | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
some drugs and treatments should be A former Humberside police constable | :10:16. | :11:00. | |
has appeared in court and `` and pleaded guilty to a number of sexual | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
assaults. He pleaded guilty to misconduct by engaging in sexual | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
activity while on duty and admitted misconduct by carrying out sexual | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
assault while working as a police officer. He has been bailed to | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
appear at Sheffield Crown Court for sentencing on August 27. | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
A man accused of starting a fire on a North Sea ferry | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
off the coast of Bridlington which led to six people being winched off | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
the ship and airlifted to hospital has pleaded guilty to arson. | :11:33. | :11:34. | |
26`year`old Boden George Hughes from Sunderland admitted committing | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
arson but he still denies arson with intent to endanger life. | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
The prosecution said he was very drunk and under the influence | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
of drugs when he set fire to bedding in the cabin with a lighter. | :11:42. | :11:52. | |
A driver from Lincolnshire has had a parking ticket cancelled after it | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
was wrongly issued. Ron Best received the ticket for leaving his | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
car on a street in Horncastle for more than two hours, in a one`hour | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
bay. But he had his own CCTV footage showing he had actually moved his | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
car in that time. Lincolnshire County Council has now said the | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
member of the staff will go through further training. Jessica Lane | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
Ron Best keeps a CCTV camera in his car in case he's in an accident. | :12:11. | :12:21. | |
But he used it when he was given a parking ticket | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
And accused of staying for over two hours in a one`hour space. | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
According to the officer, my wheels were in the same position. In the | :12:36. | :12:44. | |
meantime, not only was the car parked in a different position, it | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
was part it different way down the road and I had driven several miles. | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
Ron says this video shows that journey. | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
So he appealed. After investigating, the council | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
sent this letter saying he shouldn't have been given the ticket at all | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
Lincolnshire County Council has apologised. In a statement, it said: | :13:01. | :13:26. | |
Without the CCTV footage, I would've been struggling to prove it. They | :13:27. | :13:39. | |
tell a negative effect on the town. That it has a negative effect on the | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
town. The council says if other people | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
think they've been wrongly given a ncolnshire's Red Arrows meet one | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
of their number one fans. Storm cloud over New Ellerby, | :13:48. | :14:04. | |
sent in by Chris Clark. If Paul was here, I think tomorrow | :14:05. | :14:29. | |
night we will do a feature on part`time work. As he cannot get | :14:30. | :14:37. | |
there? I think so. Not sure many people are | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
complaining. It is quieter in the office. | :14:43. | :14:44. | |
I am not complaining. Thank you. Some very heavy showers | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
out there at the moment across northern part of Lincolnshire, | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
heading into part of East Yorkshire. Another batch pushing from the | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
South. Tomorrow, there will be sunshine and heavy showers as well. | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
We have a warning from the Met office for some torrential | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
downpours. We have a friend coming in from the east. I think it will | :15:12. | :15:21. | |
affect those late on Wednesday. We have some very heavy showers out | :15:22. | :15:31. | |
there at the moment. Temperatures dropping back to 14 or 15. By late | :15:32. | :15:51. | |
morning we will begin to see showers bubbling up. Might see some lines of | :15:52. | :15:59. | |
showers. Some could be very heavy. Not everywhere is getting them. It | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
could be a beautiful day along the coast. The bridges in land, up to | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
about 20 degrees. The great Yorkshire show this week. Wednesday | :16:15. | :16:24. | |
looks like most of the day will be dry. Outbreaks of rain on Thursday. | :16:25. | :16:35. | |
That was not meant to be there. I was just going to say, nice and | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
professional, then used by late at the last minute. | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
Don't tell him. See you tomorrow. | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
Yorkshire is celebrating what's been described by the boss of the Tour de | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
France as the best Grand Depart ever. | :16:52. | :16:53. | |
Millions of people turned out at the weekend to get a glimpse of the | :16:54. | :17:04. | |
riders. It cost millions of pounds to stage the event but in return | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
it's hoped it will bring ?100 million into the regional economy. | :17:08. | :17:09. | |
The man who brought the Tour de France to Yorkshire says it's been a | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
I always knew it would be big, I knew it would be good. I never | :17:14. | :17:23. | |
expected in my wildest expectations we would get the millions and | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
millions of people we have had. The skies of Yorkshire were buzzing | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
with helicopters relaying live pictures of the Tour de France | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
on Saturday and Sunday. Among them, the Yorkshire Air | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
Ambulance had its busiest ever weekend, and at one point during | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
the race was given priority when it A bird's`eye view of one of | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
Yorkshire's proudest moments. By mid`morning on Saturday, calls | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
for help were coming in thick and A patient has fallen through a roof, | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
some 20 feet. We are unsure exactly | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
of their injuries at the moment. Around two million spectators | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
watched and there were miles It's difficult to transport | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
patients to hospital. This is the easiest way | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
to save lives this weekend. So much so, the Yorkshire Air | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
Ambulance has brought in a third Just a few miles from the start, | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
as the Tour passes through Skipton, Sally Hartley's effort to get a | :18:18. | :18:27. | |
better view landed her in trouble. She landed on her leg | :18:28. | :19:00. | |
and then twisted and then her head There is a wound at the back | :19:01. | :19:02. | |
of her head. My mum owns a salon at the Corn Mill | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
and we have got a corrugated roof. There was a load of people up there | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
and me and my mum decided to go up She just took one step out, | :19:12. | :19:22. | |
fell 20 foot. The paramedics have been fantastic | :19:23. | :19:30. | |
to get there as soon as they could. Sally was kept | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
in hospital overnight and released. Other patients included | :19:34. | :19:35. | |
a schoolboy who fell off the chair, While the incline, | :19:36. | :19:37. | |
rather than the crowds, proved too As he started up here, | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
which is a pretty big hill. He started to get some chest pain | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
and started to get out of breath. In total 20 patients were airlifted | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
to hospital and in what was a successful weekend for Yorkshire | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
on the ground and in the air. Humberside police say they don't | :19:54. | :20:15. | |
need any more money to police anti`fracking demonstrations in East | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
Yorkshire. And via mental test is accused of fossil been heavy`handed. | :20:23. | :20:30. | |
`` environmentalists force of being heavy`handed. | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
We are not spending much and we're not using much of our resources. I | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
hope we can continue to keep it in the way it is now and manage it at a | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
low level. Hull Arena will close later this | :20:44. | :20:51. | |
month because of changes to EU rules. The venue's refrigeration | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
system needs to be replaced to meet new regulations and it's expected to | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
remain shut until early September. Hull City Council are talking to | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
Hull Stingrays Ice Hockey team to find an alternative venue for their | :21:01. | :21:02. | |
pre`season preparations. "Grimsby", Sacha Baron Cohen won't | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
be coming to the town for any filming. The comedian, who's best | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
known for characters such as Ali G and Borat, did visit the town before | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
filming started. But the action`comedy is instead being shot | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
on a closed set in London, before Hull City have completed the signing | :21:17. | :21:35. | |
of Tom Ince. He signed a two`year deal with the Tigers. Negotiations | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
are continuing between the Tigers and black `` and Blackpool. | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
The chairman of Hull Kingston Rovers says he hopes the newly appointed | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
coach Chris Chester will be in the role for the long term. In his first | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
game in charge, Chester saw Rovers beat Superleague leaders St Helens | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
by 40 points to ten. Speaking after the match Neil Hudgell said it was | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
the right time for a change at the club. | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
We will do what is the best for the team, and we think the best is a | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
change. Chris is very well thought of in the club. We hope we can talk | :22:12. | :22:19. | |
long time. It is a great opportunity. I am looking forward to | :22:20. | :22:27. | |
the next eight games. I reckon we need another four to get in the | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
play`offs. Who knows what happened after that. Lee Radford says he is | :22:32. | :22:41. | |
still hopeful of reaching the play`offs despite losing to | :22:42. | :22:42. | |
Warrington. And you'll be able to see the | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
highlights from both games on the Superleague show tonight. It's on at | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
11.35 on BBC One. One of Lincolnshire's Red Arrows is | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
out of action for the foreseeable future after being hit during a | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
display at Waddington after being badly damaged by a bird | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
strike during the show. with one of their biggest fans. | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
Ten`year`old Tahnee was among the crowds at the Waddington Air Show. | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
She made the news last year when she wrote to the Arrows, but forgot to | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
include her address. They tracked her down and at the weekend her | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
dream of meeting the team came true. Flying in for a VIP meeting with | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
one of their biggest fans. How are you feeling today? Very | :23:29. | :23:43. | |
excited, I can't wait. Because I get to meet Red 1 and | :23:44. | :23:46. | |

brute, isn't it? It was amazing, | :25:02. | :25:08. | |
one minute I was just sitting there and then they all came out. It was | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
just brilliant. It's been a long time | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
since she wrote in. No return address, and we tracked | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
her down, so that's brilliant. She is a lovely, sweet, little | :25:22. | :25:24. | |

hospital put her on the medication, they should prescribe it, and the | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
doctors should give it as a repeat prescription. Somebody else's, it | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
