is closed between junction two and three to allow major | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
resurfacing work. Health experts say plain packaging | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
for cigarettes would have a huge impact in Hull, | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
which has the highest rate Public Health England says research | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
in Australia shows a signifhcant fall in smoking ` especially | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
among young people ` when the brand The British government is still | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
considering the idea, but in a city where | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
the average smoker spends almost ?2,000 a year on the habit, it's | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
claimed plain packets will hmprove Over | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
the years huge efforts have been made to stop people smoking, from | :06:22. | :06:33. | |
increasing the age it's legal to buy cigarettes to changing the law about | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
where you can and can't do it. And most shops now have to keep | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
their packets hidden away. Here in Hull it's estimated | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
that around 70% of those who In our experience, the people that | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
access the service do want to stop. They're motivated to quit btt they | :06:46. | :06:57. | |
need the services and they need easy access to those services to give | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
them the opportunities to quit. But now public health offichals here | :07:01. | :07:09. | |
say they want to follow Australia's example and introduce non`branded | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
packaging which, it's claimed, has What difference would this | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
make to the city of Hull? Recent figures show more th`n | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
60,000 tpeople smoke in Hull. Spending in total ?111 millhon | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
on cigarettes a year. And if plain packets were | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
introduced, with fewer people smoking it's estimated savings | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
of 4.4 million could be made. Apparently are around 49% of people | :07:28. | :07:47. | |
here still smoke, so what are some of them make of the idea of removing | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
branding from cigarette packaging? It does not make any differdnce | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
branding from cigarette packaging? It does not make any difference. You | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
should remove all cigarettes from shops permanently. It will make no | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
shops permanently. It will lake no difference at all. Plain packaging | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
is not the only solution. We need to reduce the amount of | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
illicit tobacco that is in the city. We need to look at how we can | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
support people that want to stop smoking and we need to provide | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
support for children to become much more resilient and make healthier | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
choices. The Government still hasn't made a | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
decision on standardised packaging. But with 51 children under | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
the age of 15 taking up smoking every day in the Yorkshire | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
and Humber region alone, calpaigners Earlier, I spoke to Simon Clark | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
from the pro`smoking group Forest, who are part`funded | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
by the tobacco industry. I asked him whether a change | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
in packaging would stop young There is no evidence plain packaging | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
would stop children smoking. Children don't start smoking | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
because of the packaging. They start smoking because | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
of peer pressure, because But the director of | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
Public Health England says standardised packaging is a powerful | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
measure that would help savd lives. The Australian Association | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
of Convenience Stores says it has affected 70% of their members, | :09:05. | :09:13. | |
and they are losing business. The other argument | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
in Australia is since December 2012, they have seen the fastest decline | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
in smoking rates for 20 years. Yes, but plain packaging was only | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
brought in in December 2012, so you can't claim it's because | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
of plain packaging. There's huge opposition | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
in this country to plain packaging. We handed | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
in over 50,000 letters to Downing Street from people who are opposed | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
to it, and we're going to give the Department of Health a further | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
petition of over 100,000 nales. If it has the potential to work, | :09:44. | :09:54. | |
like in Australia, First of all, this government said | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
it would only bring There's no evidence to | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
suggest this will work. We have still got the display ban | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
to be fully implemented and that The year after that, | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
the EU will introduce a revised tobacco directive | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
which will see health warnings We've got to do something to | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
reduce the smoking rates. In this city alone, the numbers | :10:21. | :10:30. | |
have not come down at all. The Government is already | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
introducing a display ban. In 2016, | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
health warnings will get larger Surely we have to wait | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
and analyse the impact on those measures before introducing | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
something like plain packaghng. Do we want to see plain packaging | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
on alcohol or fatty foods or sugary This is a slippery slope and we | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
have to say we don't want it. Do you think smokers are | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
being stigmatised with this? You seem to be worrying mord | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
about the newsagents that I made that point because | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
Public Health England today have said it won't have any impact | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
on newsagents, but if newsagents and local convenience | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
stores go bust, it has a huge impact on people in rural areas and small | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
villages, so it is important. I am concerned this is further | :11:18. | :11:26. | |
stigmatisation of smokers. Tobacco is | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
a completely legal product. Everybody is aware of the hdalth | :11:30. | :11:30. | |
risks of smoking, they don't need These packets will be coverdd | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
in disgusting images, Are un`branded packets | :11:34. | :11:41. | |
the answer to reducing stubbornly Should the Government introduce | :11:42. | :11:59. | |
them? The pensioner who landed a plane in | :12:00. | :12:29. | |

In your dreams. People who live in privately rented | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
houses and flats are welcomhng tougher action against rogud | :15:35. | :15:36. | |

prosecuting the worst offenders. It says | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
a minority are taking advantage Rent on a two`bed property there | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
is nearly ?600 a month, and even This was the kitchen | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
in this property Just one example | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
of what's now being described Gerda and her family were | :15:57. | :16:11. | |
in another house. They've now moved, | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
but say these pictures show some of the problems, including the back | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
door, which they couldn't lock. When we used to go out as a family, | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
we couldn't leave anything Zivile and her daughter | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
have also moved house. Mould was everywhere, | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
even in kitchen cupboards. She wasn't happy because shd | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
couldn't ask friends to come because It's because of problems like these | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
that Boston Borough Council has Since February, they've visited | :16:41. | :16:51. | |
hundreds of properties. 89 of those visits led | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
to formal inspections. Three prosecutions are under way | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
and the council says there could be In three cases, | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
they found people were renting Zivile's former landlord told me he | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
had "no comments" to make, while Gerda's ex landlord said he | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
believes a lot of the probldms, including the "broken back door and | :17:13. | :17:21. | |
damp" were "caused by the tenants". He added he thinks the term | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
"rogue landlord" is misleadhng, but said the team is helping | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
"improve properties" in Boston. The reason we describe them | :17:28. | :17:29. | |
as rogue landlords is that these are the people who are basicallx taking | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
advantage of the vulnerability of their tenants to make | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
as much money as they can. This is not by any means | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
the vast majority of landlords. The council says there's a lot of | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
demand for housing in Boston, and in The council says it can run | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
the project until 2017, hoping to make properties | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
like this a thing of the past. I'm joined by Richard Lambert from | :17:53. | :18:00. | |
the National Landlords' Association. Good evening. What is a rogte | :18:01. | :18:11. | |

How many landlords are letting How many landlords are letting | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
properties out that not suitable and they adjusted it for profit? | :18:28. | :18:29. | |
That is difficult to find ott. they adjusted it for profit? | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
That is difficult to find ott. We have done a tenants survey for the | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
past 18 months and we found about 13% of tenants say they havd had | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
some contact with what they described as a rogue landlords. | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
You said 80% of tenants are happy. That means 20% are not. | :18:52. | :18:59. | |
We said 80% of tenants are happy with their current tenancy. | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
Why is a place like Boston so bad? The rents are high compared to | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
earnings. I don't know if Boston is | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
significantly worse than other areas. Boston has a significant | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
increase in population over the last ten years. There are a lot of | :19:19. | :19:27. | |
migrant workers and they tend to be people who have to look at the | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
lowest quality housing. When demand is high, do landlords | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
feel they don't need to bother as much? | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
The majority of landlords are responsible people. Some believe | :19:39. | :19:47. | |
they can exploit people. We need enforcement against those, `s | :19:48. | :19:48. | |
they can exploit people. We need enforcement against those, as the | :19:49. | :19:49. | |
enforcement against those, `s the council is trying to do. | :19:50. | :19:56. | |
Good to talk to you. If you are a tenants or a landlord, you light | :19:57. | :19:57. | |
tenants or a landlord, you might have a view on that. Here is a | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
reminder of the e`mail addrdss and reminder of the e`mail address and | :20:01. | :20:02. | |

Britain's farmers were It meant their workers were | :20:08. | :20:09. | |
sent to fight, but they still For our World War One at Hole | :20:10. | :20:17. | |
series, Jo Makel looks at how life 100 years ago, entire communities in | :20:18. | :20:28. | |
Lincolnshire depended on farming. When World War I broke out, | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
men swapped the harvest fields In the tiny hamlet of Dalderby near | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
Horncastle, nearly three quarters earning it the title of | :20:38. | :20:45. | |
Lincolnshire's bravest vill`ge. Tom Scholey and John Garner's | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
grandfathers had the two farms Five of them went to the | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
First World War and the sixth one stayed at home, helping | :20:56. | :21:04. | |
with the farm. While the families were proudly | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
patriotic, losing their sons, their neighbours | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
and their horses to the war effort Even though | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
the power was provided by horses, in those first few weeks of the war, | :21:15. | :21:26. | |
there was quite a shortage Farmers required a lot of people | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
at harvest and at times like potato picking and other big | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
jobs for the local farmers. When conscription started, | :21:36. | :21:46. | |
the shortage of labour became The role of women became | :21:47. | :21:48. | |
even more important. Women and children had traditionally | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
helped, but in 1917, recruitment We hear about them a lot | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
in the Second World War, but they were there in the First World War, | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
and you've got people who had nothing at all to do with f`rming, | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
who were recruited from the cities and told, "How about a nice job in | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
the countryside and fresh air?" They worked as an organised team | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
and they did a fantastic job. Irish gangs, wounded soldiers and | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
even prisoners of war One change was to have | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
a lasting legacy. The government helped to brhng | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
in more tractors. It not only replaced horses, | :22:21. | :22:22. | |
but also to a large extent, Instead of the 20 men, | :22:23. | :22:24. | |
you might have six. That has been the biggest change | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
and that really started to happen during the First World War | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
and has continued ever sincd. Four out of the five Garner brothers | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
made it safely back to the family f`rm, | :22:35. | :22:36. | |
although the horrors of the trenches | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
had left one badly shell`shocked. Their families' lives | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
and the industry they were returning to had been changed | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
for ever. A grandmother from Lincolnshire will | :22:46. | :23:04. | |
