19/09/2014 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

But for Scotland, the campaign continues. The dream shall never

die. Good evening and welcome to

BBC Look North. A major Grimsby road gets

an increase to its speed lilit But local politicians warn

the government not to forget Days after helicopter crash killed

two men, wreckage is recovered. Hull City face

a Newcastle side whose fans want I will tell you which chart`topping

band will be coming to this music venue. And that important wdather

forecast that follows later in the programme.

Hundreds of drivers who werd fined for speeding have won

their campaign for a higher speed limit on a road in Grimsby.

North East Lincolnshire Council has voted to raise the limit on

But it's led to questions about who should set speed limits,

After all, three emergency services opposed the rise to 40

It is almost one year since new average speed cameras began

enforcing a 30 mph speed lilit. But now, thanks to people power, it is

going up to 40 mph. The road was designed as an express routd into

Grimsby, but hundreds of motorists caught by the cameras claim the

limit was too slow for that type of road. Last night, their outcry

pondered councillors to increase it. The public are concerned thd speed

limit is too slow. We have to give a little bit of a board for the people

who've been caught out, who've gained points. They are out of

pocket and some will have lost their licence. It has been seen as a

victory for common sense and the council say they have listened. If

people aren't happy with solething put a petition to counsel. We have

to listen to what people sax. We have listened, and we have had to

listen to some common sense. The cameras will stay. At the elergency

services are against the rise. Police say there has been a

reduction in people injured since the enforcement began. Prior to the

implementation of the camer`s of the average speed cameras, therd was a

large number of crashes at those junctions. My only concern hs that

if the speeds is increased, then potentially injuries may increase if

we have further collisions. We feel speed is of actor in a lot of

crashes. It is one of the bhggest killers on Britain's roads. Slow is

invariably say that. With speed limit of falling nationally, there

is here welcomed the decision. It is an improvement because 30 mph is

rather too slow for such a beautiful piece of road. It is about time

Being that low, I am only in third gear. You can't work walk down

there. It is better. It does need to go up. It is too slow. Whild the

decision has been made, there is warning to motorists who usd this

road. The new speed limit whll not come into 40 mph until the new ones

have changed. I asked him if he fought thd limit

was too slow? We live in an era in the wake of the

speed kills mantra, where things are becoming incredibly two`dimdnsional

on the subject of speed. Speed kills, therefore go slower,

but it won't be long, if you follow that intellectual

route, before we will be back to a man walking in front with

a red flag, and I don't think Motorists have been pestering

for an increase, even though the The great shame is that up

until only ten years ago, and for 30 years or so before that, thdre was

a great tradition of British roads, engineering, and the concept was,

the 85th percentile it was called, the concept was that people drive

down roads on average, most people, at a speed that is safe,

because people don't want to crash. If you have emergency services

against a speed increase and then it still happens,

you think that is wrong? Yes, that is an interesting factor

because in our experience the emergency services, don't

forget that the police know a lot about driving and advanced driving,

the police do not tend to stpport Draconian decreases in speed limits,

so I don't know what has happened here and whether there is good

reason for emergency servicds opposition, or whether, and I don't

know so it is supposition, or whether there is some polithcs going

on in terms of the idea that, oh, well, speed kills so we shotld have

limits all the time and everything And do you think

a driver who is not frustrated at having to go so slow agahnst

their will, and now is going to be Well, I think that is a bit of a

simplification, but I think what is also a simplification is saxing as

long as people drive slowly, forget observation, forget state of the

car, forget driver training and all those other things,

as long as they drive slowlx, Research data

and statistics don't back that up. A lot of people

in power seem to believe th`t. Very interesting to have yot

on the show, Rupert, Who should be listened to

when it comes to speed limits? Do get in touch weathers. `` with

us. That is our e`mail addrdss. Or you can text us.

I look forward to hearing from you on the issue of speed limits.

With Scottish Independence now off the cards, politicians here are

talking about getting more powers for English regions, meaning we

could be seeing more flags flying for Yorkshire and Lincolnshhre.

There are growing claims th`t places in the North are ` in the words

of one councillor ` getting " crumbs from the table" comp`red with

I'll be talking to former Ddputy Prime Minister John Prescott, who's

First, here's our Political Editor Tim Iredald.

Amid the scenes of celebrathon and commiseration in Scotland,

an important question needs to be answered.

How will England be governed in future?

It is a big talking point at the Highland Laddie pub in East Hull.

The majority of the English people should get exactly what

A lot more control over their own situations.

London gets so much arts funding and all kinds of funding

because all the MPs live thdre and get the benefit of that.

In Hull and in the North and Yorkshire, we have been forgotten

Political leaders past and present assured the Scots they

would still get more power dven if they voted no to independence.

But every person living in Xorkshire and the Humber, they have ptblic

spending on services that is 18 below that in Scotland.

That is why our MPs are not going to vote for anything

When it comes to public spending, per head of the population,

people in Yorkshire and Humber received just over ?8,500.

The East Midlands, which covers Lincolnshire,

gets just over ?8,000, but people in Scotland received more than

Council leaders in east Yorkshire and Lincolnshire said that funding

formula that favours Scotland can't be allowed to continue at

It is absolutely disgraceful that we have not got more control over

the spending, that we have to rely on civil servants and ministers to

actually give us the crumbs of what is left after giving all

If you're going to devolve Scotland, England needs to start banghng

the drum that more power should be passed down to the cities

In this part of Lincolnshird we get less funding than London and

That is not fair and does need to be addressdd.

Politicians from all sides `wait details of what the Prime Mhnister

today described as a fair and balanced settlement for England

I'm joined by Lord Prescott, who as a minister in the Labour

government, offered more powers to the North East of England.

Good evening. Are you happy that Scotland has been offered so much?

You have been up there camp`igning. There have been unhappy English MPs.

Ever since I produce this rdport, saying you have to have devolution

in the states. We needed in England. Nobody listened 32 years ago. I gave

the opportunity in the north`east and lost it. 48% took part. It has

changed and I am happy Scotland has opened the doors. We can re`lly do

something the English regions. Scotland has ?1500 per person. That

is more than here. We are gdtting the crumbs, according to ond MP

Getting more per head is wh`t they're used to. I have a pose that

constantly. The Scottish people used to say we can't take it off at the

moment because there is an dlection. We need a redistribution of those

sources, is everyone gets a fair share. Again, your party is not

happy about that. If you actually make it an English Parliament, you

loaded up a Tory MPs. We cotld win the election and have no power. We

need to take those same valtes of education, of housing, all those

things they have, give them to the English regions and then yot don't

have to have a problem. Could you have education and roads looked

after in the regions? Why not? We are almost there with education It

would mean that regional ardas would make the decisions. They cotld have

the taxation. Talk about tilescale. It won't happen, will it? What'll

happen is that you have to observe what the leaders have committed

themselves do. There must bd a White Paper which lays out that the

regions are going to get a fair proportion of the powers and

resources, and then the timdtable which were of an election round the

corner, we are committed with devolution, that'll be the course of

action. It is a fundamental change. Who is in charge of it locally? We

did bring in assemblies. Nobody wanted them. Hang on. Let's give it

a bit of history. The first referendum was rejected in Scotland

and Wales and the north`east. The reason why we didn't get it, we did

not give them enough powers. You can't say second`hand powers for the

regions. Hypothetically, if you have the same thing in Yorkshire that you

have had in Scotland, with ` bold I believe so. Things have changed. I

could not get the Cabinet to give powers like Scotland, but you can't

get away with that now. People have seen what has happened in Scotland.

Even the Welsh aren't happy. So devolution is in now that you were

ahead of the times you were a trendsetter. Very good to sde you.

And the devolution of powers to Yorkshire

and Lincolnshire will be discussed on this weekend's Sunday Politics.

Guests include the Brigg and Goole MP Andrew Percy and the

Friday, isn't it? I was mord surprised to see you when I looked

up. No glamour for you tonight. Just read the forecast. The next 24 hours

will be cloudy and quite dalp. There has been some heavy downpours

around, especially in Lincoln. Those continue to drift northwards, so it

is a dull and other night. Dull and done tomorrow but this front is

interesting. Behind it therd is brighter conditions for Sunday.

Sunday is easily the best of the weekend. What a mess. Look `t that

satellite picture. Lots of cloud here. Some thundery downpours in the

far south. There was drifting northwards, fizzling as thex do so

was even if you don't get them, there will be drizzle in pl`ces

Some mist and coastal fog. Dven by the end of the night, a risk of a

few thundery downpours, but elsewhere, good temperatures. 1 or

14 Celsius. So, the sun risds in the morning at 6:43am. The next high

water time is there at 4:22`m. It is a bit of a dreary start of the day.

Any showers in the far south pulling away. A bit of drizzle. Watch out

for that cold front. It brings drizzle through east Yorkshhre and

northern part of Lincolnshire. He's Yorkshire might brighten up by the

end of the afternoon, but whichever way you look at it hit is cloudy and

damp. Temperatures are still not bad for this time of year, around

average. 16 or 17 Celsius. @ll that cloud clears away on Saturd`y. One

or two showers perhaps scraping along the coast for a time, but

Sunday is much better. Dry with a good deal of sunshine and whth high

pressure in charge, it looks like Monday will be a beautiful day. A

touch of ground frost on Sunday I mentioned your old Michael Fish

image last week. I will talk over you. Paul wears an extra tight to

hide his old age. That is a six`pack. Have a good weekend.

Hull City face struggling Newcastle United tomorrow,

whose fans are calling for the sacking of manager Alan Pardew.

The Hull City manager, Stevd Bruce, is tipped by some to step

But Steve Bruce says that talk is disrespectful.

Here's our sports reporter Simon Clark.

There will be two teams in `ction in Newcastle tomorrow,

but you'll be forgiven for thinking it's a one teal show.

That's because of calls frol many in the North East

for the removal of Newcastld United manager Alan Pardew.

Mass hysteria, he says, but going into the game with Hull Citx, the

Alan Pardew had to defend hhs assistant. Do you think he wants to

see the manager and banners going up? Of course not. He tried to

defend that, albeit in the way John Carver does.

By contrast Steve Bruce, Northumberland born and bred,

He was delighted with his team's performance against

West Ham on Monday, even if it ended in a draw, but knows all

Difficult place to manage. We have to try and take advantage of it We

have to be mercenary enough to do that, but the other stuff is not

enjoyable to watch, because at the end of the day he has done ` decent

job. Steve Bruce was quick to distance himself from the job.

Newcastle, let's not forget, won last time the two sides met

but in the corresponding gale last season Hull City led Newcastle

I hope I am dancing but I nded to improve. Although Hull provhde the

opposition, don't be surprised if the media concentrates on Ndwcastle

United, because Alan Pardew is under intense pressure, not just from his

own fans. It is a situation that Hull know they could exploit.

And Scunthorpe have a chance to break free of the

League One relegation places in that game tomorrow.

Both teams start the game with seven points `fter

Remember that we have just come up from League Two.

There is always talk about the Championship at this

football club, and rightly so, because we have been there before.

We have to make sure we adapt to League One.

Hopefully we're just about finding our feet
