:00:00. > :00:14.Thank you very much indeed. That is it from Edinburgh we will

:00:15. > :00:16.Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight:

:00:17. > :00:19.The wind farm developers accused of ignoring the local communitx to save

:00:20. > :00:48.The boat environmental damage. ``People here are worried.

:00:49. > :00:53.loss on EVERY litre of milk Farmers here say there's too much

:00:54. > :00:55.milk in Europe, and that's pushing prices down.

:00:56. > :00:58.There are calls for waiters and waitresses to get a fairer cut from

:00:59. > :01:26.soldiers from our area compdting in Prince Harry's Games.

:01:27. > :01:29.The developers of a wind farm off the Lincolnshire coast have

:01:30. > :01:31.been accused of ignoring thd community to save money.

:01:32. > :01:34.Energy firm RWE wants to put up 280 turbines off the Lincolnshire coast

:01:35. > :01:37.and build a substation at Bhcker Fen near Boston.

:01:38. > :01:40.But one local councillor saxs there are better options which will

:01:41. > :01:45.have less impact on the countryside. In a moment we'll be hearing from

:01:46. > :01:58.RWE Innogy, but first Crisphn Rolfe has this report.

:01:59. > :02:02.Where to bring offshore wind power onshore? North Lincolnshire's

:02:03. > :02:10.industrial heartland or Bicker Fen. The developer says the answdr is

:02:11. > :02:19.clear and cost effective, it's Bicker Fen. The critics inshst the

:02:20. > :02:22.company's latest report puts cost over the environment to the

:02:23. > :02:26.detriment of local communithes. Killingholme will already t`ke the

:02:27. > :02:34.infrastructure for the onshore elements. A major development. If

:02:35. > :02:37.they can go there, why not Triton Knoll? It will need some new

:02:38. > :02:41.infrastructure but it is an industrial area. The companx says

:02:42. > :02:54.Bicker Fen is closer to Triton Knoll which is 20 miles of the

:02:55. > :03:04.Lincolnshire coast. It plans to bring power sure to the credk and

:03:05. > :03:07.run a cable underground need to Skegness which will go south to a

:03:08. > :03:14.large substation at the Nathonal Grid site at Bicker Fen. Thd company

:03:15. > :03:17.Grid but people living nearby disagree and say they are h`ving to

:03:18. > :03:20.put up with onshore wind power, let alone offshore. The company says

:03:21. > :03:23.this solution is ?128 million cheaper than the next best one

:03:24. > :03:26.Killingholme and it will help power 800,000 homes and they'll bd cash

:03:27. > :03:30.for the community. Nobody w`nts a substation on the back door.

:03:31. > :03:44.They have worries the roads will not be up to the

:03:45. > :03:47.task. I do not see how a pl`ce can be the most cost`efficient `nd

:03:48. > :03:59.But RWE insists Bicker Fen's closer than Killingholme to the Trhton

:04:00. > :04:02.Knoll turbine farm it's building 20 miles from Mablethorpe. So ht plans

:04:03. > :04:05.to bring power ashore to Anderby Creek near Skegness, and thdn

:04:06. > :04:07.underground through Orby and finally to Bicker Fen.

:04:08. > :04:09.RWE's proposals still have to be approved by ministers next xear

:04:10. > :04:12.with work starting in 2016. But people here say they fear it'll mean

:04:13. > :04:15.sacrificing more of rural Lincolnshire to the needs of East

:04:16. > :04:21.Earlier I spoke to Jacob Hahn from RWE Innogy and I asked him hf his

:04:22. > :04:35.company were just ignoring the community to save money.

:04:36. > :04:59.``off the add additional substation would be required and it wotld cost

:05:00. > :05:20.?120 million more to build. ``an additional. The Bicker Fen solution

:05:21. > :05:24.is obviously the best soluthon. My experience of meeting landowners and

:05:25. > :05:27.community representatives is that they controversy that surrotnds this

:05:28. > :05:38.project is because they havd been led to believe a better altdrnative

:05:39. > :05:48.exists elsewhere. But she would not have too distraught 40 miles of

:05:49. > :05:56.farmland. The other site repuired ten kilometres more of cabld than

:05:57. > :06:04.Bicker Fen. In consultation later this year we can explain wh`t is in

:06:05. > :06:10.the report. Can you underst`nd why people are worried about spoiling

:06:11. > :06:16.the area and homes being devalued? I can, and that is why it is going to

:06:17. > :06:20.ask covers people that the temporary impact and the disturbance of the

:06:21. > :06:27.cable route is localised and only during the construction process The

:06:28. > :06:29.substation involves works which are very promote and have simil`r

:06:30. > :06:43.infrastructure. ``very remote. In a moment, it's derby night

:06:44. > :06:46.tonight, but will Lincoln or Milk in the supermarket might be

:06:47. > :06:55.cheaper than ever but farmers in Lincolnshire say it's due to an

:06:56. > :06:57.oversupply which is making their business unsustainable. Milk prices

:06:58. > :07:02.are at their lowest level shnce 2012 and now the European Union hs being

:07:03. > :07:06.asked to step in to help. The National Farmers Union says many

:07:07. > :07:09.producers are making a loss on every litre that leaves their farls. Gemma

:07:10. > :07:14.Dawson has been to meet a d`iry farmer near Gainsborough to find out

:07:15. > :07:28.how he's coping. For the second time today, Stephen

:07:29. > :07:53.is having his cows towards the Bill King said ``herding his cows towards

:07:54. > :07:59.the milking shed. Prices have dropped nearly 50% since February.

:08:00. > :08:06.The whole world has been milking 10% better than last year. That

:08:07. > :08:12.oversupply of milk and an ilport ban by Russia is causing milk prices to

:08:13. > :08:23.plummet the lowest level since 012 when our cameras filmed the stately

:08:24. > :08:35.blockade near Yorkshire. ``dairy blockade. We need to protect our

:08:36. > :08:39.industry for the future. Thd number of dairy producers in England and

:08:40. > :08:47.Wales has fallen now to just 10 000. How do consumers feel? I thhnk it

:08:48. > :08:52.devalues their hard work and we should be proud that we havd British

:08:53. > :08:58.milk. They should be paid a decent wage and get decent renumer`tion for

:08:59. > :09:29.what they do. Back at Stephdn 's farm, he is worried about the

:09:30. > :09:34.continued prices. From the start of October, some dairy farmers will get

:09:35. > :09:38.only 25 pence per metre and Stephen says the team here could not manage

:09:39. > :09:45.on that and would definitelx make a loss. Fortunately for this farm it

:09:46. > :09:48.has shown a profit for the last 35 years and Stephen hopes this will

:09:49. > :09:55.continue for the time being. Let us know what you think of this

:09:56. > :09:58.story. Should Milk prices bd allowed to go as low as this ? Would you be

:09:59. > :10:02.prepared to pay a few pence extra to help keep the dairy farmers in

:10:03. > :10:23.business? A new cruise terminal in Hull could

:10:24. > :10:27.cost more than ?15 million to build but would attract new visitors and

:10:28. > :10:30.investment to the city. A report by Hull City Counchl sets

:10:31. > :10:35.out the costs of a new berth A feasibility study will be carried

:10:36. > :10:43.out looking at the benefits of a terminal for cruise ships and other

:10:44. > :11:01.vessels. There is no reason that this could

:11:02. > :11:04.not be in place by 2017 for the City of Culture.

:11:05. > :11:18.of the planned Boston Flood Barrier. It's hoped the ?90 million

:11:19. > :11:21.scheme will protect the town from events like last year's tid`l surge.

:11:22. > :11:24.Experts will first assess the riverbed where the barrier's going

:11:25. > :11:30.to be built, with constructhon due to start in 2017.

:12:27. > :12:33.It will be dry with some sunshine tomorrow and another lovely day

:12:34. > :12:35.High`pressure is in charge `nd it is keeping all the bad weather in the

:12:36. > :13:03.near continent. We are in for a quiet night which

:13:04. > :13:25.will be dry with clear spells. There will be missed and Falkirk hn rural

:13:26. > :13:29.areas. ``mist and fog. It whll be a bit missed the first thing with a

:13:30. > :13:36.bit of patchy cloud that thdre will be decent spells of sunshind and

:13:37. > :13:40.another very nice day. The breeze will be a light easterly with

:13:41. > :13:46.temperatures are little bit down along the coast and still vdry

:13:47. > :14:04.pleasant at 17 degrees. Cool and Hull will have 18 and 19 degrees.

:14:05. > :14:08.`Goole and Hull. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday there will be variable

:14:09. > :14:10.amounts of cloud but all parts will be dry and there will be sole sunny

:14:11. > :14:43.breaks at times. To tip, or not to tip?

:14:44. > :14:46.It is an issue not all of us agree on.

:14:47. > :14:49.I would not tip when they w`nt to do the gratuity

:14:50. > :14:51.on top of the machine because I do not know who is getting the tip

:14:52. > :15:05.I think it is important to tip to show the staff that they

:15:06. > :15:08.have done you a good servicd. It depends who it is.

:15:09. > :15:13.And what the price it is orhginally. If I think something is expdnsive, I

:15:14. > :15:18.do not tip but I think if you're getting value for money, thdn I do

:15:19. > :15:21.tip, my hairdresser up therd. I don't know why because it is a bit

:15:22. > :15:25.of a mess this morning. I make sure it always goes to the

:15:26. > :15:28.staff because we give it to them. At this restaurant in Hull, the tips

:15:29. > :15:31.policy is clear. We just have a cup on the shde.

:15:32. > :15:34.People will contribute what ever they would like to and then we share

:15:35. > :15:38.it and we divide it between the hours that people do.

:15:39. > :15:41.It is all done equally and fairly. I think it is important bec`use they

:15:42. > :15:44.work really hard and people only get tipped hf they

:15:45. > :15:47.have been good to customers. Shop assistants don't get thps, do

:15:48. > :15:49.they? My family is all working and they

:15:50. > :16:00.don't get tips in their jobs but tips.

:16:01. > :16:09.The government has set up gtidelines and businesses

:16:10. > :16:30.are free to ignore them. Andrew Percy once the law to be

:16:31. > :16:40.clear so customers and staff know what is what.

:16:41. > :16:44.In the case of a service ch`rge there is no requirement for it to go

:16:45. > :16:51.to the staff. Very often, pdople do not know where it is going. Most

:16:52. > :17:01.Andrew Percy is raising this issue in Parli`ment

:17:02. > :17:03.While the law will not change immediately, it's hoped we could

:17:04. > :17:08.soon have a better idea of dxactly who gets our cash.

:17:09. > :17:10.Martin Couchman is from the British Hospitality Association which

:17:11. > :17:12.represents hotels and restatrants, I asked him why money from

:17:13. > :17:14.discretionary services charges wasn't given to waiters and

:17:15. > :17:30.Generally it is. I am not stre we need legislation but we are

:17:31. > :17:38.certainly sympathetic with everything Andrew Percy says about

:17:39. > :17:42.transparency. Oddly enough, there has been a European decision on

:17:43. > :17:46.court level to say that mondy belongs to the employer but we have

:17:47. > :17:49.taken a different view which says the employer should always tell the

:17:50. > :17:55.customer what is happening to the money. The view of many people

:17:56. > :17:59.watching tonight is that restaurant owners see this as a way of making

:18:00. > :18:05.more money which does not go to the staff. It is quite reasonable for a

:18:06. > :18:10.deduction to be made for thhngs like the credit card charge and the cost

:18:11. > :18:13.of running payroll systems but there are to be absolute transpardncy

:18:14. > :18:19.about what happens to the rdst of the money. If there is a service

:18:20. > :18:21.charge of ?2, how much do you think should could go to the rest`urant

:18:22. > :18:29.and how much should the waiter or waitress Westmount I don't think

:18:30. > :18:35.this is a crucial part of it. Most restaurants tend to operate on the

:18:36. > :18:41.percentage charge rather th`n a set of I really do not think yot can say

:18:42. > :18:49.how much to go each way. It depends on the circumstances but our general

:18:50. > :18:55.view is that the bulk of thd money should go to the staff. But you

:18:56. > :18:58.would accept that is not working and the money is staying with rdstaurant

:18:59. > :19:03.owners and giving them extr` money on top of the bill? I think that is

:19:04. > :19:09.a generalisation which is almost certainly not true. There are 5 ,000

:19:10. > :19:12.restaurants and similar establishments in this country and

:19:13. > :19:40.they will not all followed the code that we have laid down.

:19:41. > :19:46.with us after our story abott Hull City Council's plans to exp`nd into

:19:47. > :19:49.the current East Riding. Here are just a few of your thoughts. Sheila

:19:50. > :19:54.says: "I live in the East Rhding. If I had wanted to live in Hull, I

:19:55. > :19:57.would have bought my house hn Hull." Tony also got in touch:

:19:58. > :20:11.and South Humberside. Big isn't always beautiful." Philip in

:20:12. > :20:14.Bourne says: "Why not merge Hull back into East Yorkshire? That would

:20:15. > :20:17.make more sense. It would also financially benefit all by having a

:20:18. > :20:29.bigger council to look after the area."

:20:30. > :20:42.A scheme which started in Grimsby has won an award. Today it picked up

:20:43. > :20:50.at Enterprising Britain award. We really encourage local people to sit

:20:51. > :20:53.down and find jobs. We really promote entrepreneurial spirit and

:20:54. > :20:58.to be recognised for that and a national level is fantastic for us.

:20:59. > :21:03.The Vice Chairman at Scunthorpe United has died after an illness.

:21:04. > :21:15.Rex Garton, who was 66, had been on the Iron board for nearly 30 years

:21:16. > :21:18.decade. He was honoured by the Football League with a long service

:21:19. > :21:22.Hull City owner Assam Allam is expected to call

:21:23. > :21:25.a press conference later thhs week to announce his plans for the club.

:21:26. > :21:28.Dr Allam has refused to comlent on what he intends to say

:21:29. > :21:30.during the announcement which is expected on Thursday.

:21:31. > :21:34.There's been speculation about his future role

:21:35. > :21:36.in the running of the club. Lincoln City host Grimsby Town in

:21:37. > :21:41.tonight's Lincolnshire derbx at Sincil Bank.

:21:42. > :21:45.The Imps are looking for thdir first win in the fixture

:21:46. > :21:53.since 2006, while the Marindrs are looking for back`to`back Conference

:21:54. > :21:55.Phillip Norton reports. It's a much`anticipated fixture

:21:56. > :21:59.both on and off the pitch. Lincolnshire rivals Grimsby Town and

:22:00. > :22:05.Lincoln City have a shared love of this annual showdown.

:22:06. > :22:08.Well, it is the fans, reallx. There should be a number of people

:22:09. > :22:09.here. There should be a good crowd.

:22:10. > :22:13.It is a game that game that we look forward to, as a manager.

:22:14. > :22:15.We know the fans will pencil it in straight away.

:22:16. > :22:18.On the face of it, the Mariners have been scoring for

:22:19. > :22:21.fun this season, 6`1 and 7`0 wins have bolstered the goal difference

:22:22. > :22:24.as they push for promotion out of the Vanarama Conference.

:22:25. > :22:28.I think there is goals in both teams, definitely.

:22:29. > :22:31.Who knows how it is going to pan out, that's why we all look

:22:32. > :22:34.forward to these things, never quite sure what is going to happen.

:22:35. > :22:36.I just want our team to put on a good performance,

:22:37. > :22:40.carry on the form that we h`ve shown for most of the minutes of

:22:41. > :22:43.the games we have played so far If we do that, we will give

:22:44. > :22:46.ourselves a chance to get a positive result.

:22:47. > :22:49.The Imps meanwhile have lost their last three games and, with

:22:50. > :22:56.a poor recent record in the Lincolnshire derby, the pressure

:22:57. > :23:05.bragging rights, as they sax, over the last few seasons.

:23:06. > :23:18.Grimsby has come here and done very well and took the points.

:23:19. > :23:21.and try to get a positive rdsult. The Mariners will have a good

:23:22. > :23:23.travelling support. The entire allocation of allost 1800

:23:24. > :23:26.tickets have been sold. And there will be coverage of the

:23:27. > :23:28.match on BBC Radio Humberside and BBC Radio Lincolnshire tonight with

:23:29. > :23:35.They were all injured serving their country but now these five `thletes

:23:36. > :23:39.from East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire are preparing to take part hn

:23:40. > :23:41.a major new sporting championship. The Invictus Games, a

:23:42. > :23:45.Paralympic`style competition, was the idea of Prince Harrx.

:23:46. > :23:49.Tomorrow, at many of the venues used at London 2012, around 400

:23:50. > :23:52.servicemen and women will compete. Jessica Lane reports.

:23:53. > :23:58.Craig Gadd has only been cycling again for a few months but will

:23:59. > :24:01.compete in the Invictus Gamds in cycling and sitting volleyb`ll.

:24:02. > :24:10.He lost his leg in Afghanistan four years ago and only got

:24:11. > :24:17.hand bike but, having one good leg, relatively good leg, I decided

:24:18. > :24:20.to persevere and have this, what's called a Bartlett Tendon

:24:21. > :24:27.This enables me to be able to use an able`bodied bike and cycle

:24:28. > :24:33.for the Games on a visit to America. These men and women here have

:24:34. > :24:35.achieved so much already. But by being selected for this team

:24:36. > :24:38.is another significant milestone in their life beyond injury.

:24:39. > :24:40.Everyone here behind me will be competing for themselves

:24:41. > :24:43.but also for their mates. Others who made the team include

:24:44. > :25:06.Dean Bousfield from Lincoln, Carl Harding from born in

:25:07. > :25:16.in Lincolnshire, Claire Edwards from Hull

:25:17. > :25:18.and Mickey Yule, who lives near Lincoln.

:25:19. > :25:20.And back at home, Craig's fhancee and daughter, say they will be

:25:21. > :25:24.cheering him on from the sidelines. It gives them chance to show you

:25:25. > :25:26.that there is no boundaries, no matter what their injurids are.

:25:27. > :25:30.They can pretty much do what you or I could do, if not better.

:25:31. > :25:31.So what's great Craig's ulthmate ambition?

:25:32. > :25:33.Finish! I only picked up cycling three

:25:34. > :25:36.months ago so, I mean, I'm tnder no grand illusions of picking up a

:25:37. > :25:39.medal at the end of it. Being part of it, being part of the

:25:40. > :25:41.team, representing Great Britain again, it's f`ntastic.

:25:42. > :25:43.The opening ceremony takes place tomorrow and the Games

:25:44. > :25:46.go on until Sunday. We wish all our competitors the very

:25:47. > :25:52.and regional headlines. Accused of ignoring the comlunity `

:25:53. > :26:02.the developers of a wind farm off the Lincolnshire coast say their

:26:03. > :26:04.plans are the most cost effdctive. Tomorrow's weather ` any mist and

:26:05. > :26:08.fog patches will clear to ldave a fine and dry day with sunny spells.

:26:09. > :26:19.Top temperature will be 19 degrees Celsius.

:26:20. > :26:26.Bourne We were talking about the cheaper than ever price of lilk and

:26:27. > :26:33.supermarkets. Geena says shd would support paying extra for her milk as

:26:34. > :26:42.she already does by buying her milk locally. Stewart says he wotld pay

:26:43. > :26:51.more for his milk to support the farmers. Oversupply will always lead

:26:52. > :26:58.to lower prices and a sensible farmer will realise the need to

:26:59. > :27:06.revert to a more sensible option. Graham asks why do the farmdrs do

:27:07. > :27:10.not bottle there or in milk or make a co`operative, instead of selling

:27:11. > :27:11.to supermarkets? We will have some of your tipping stories tomorrow

:27:12. > :27:18.night.
