Friday to discuss joining the US air strikes against Islamic State in

Iraq. That Good evening and welcome to

BBC Look North. The Humberside Police Chief

says losing 200 officers to save We're going to do our absoltte best

and use everything we have `t our disposal ` whether it's changing

shifts or modern technology. Labour leader Ed Miliband s`ys

he wants to see fewer unskilled I do want to see fewer low skilled

migrants because I think th`t's Police in Lincoln investigate after

a leaflet attacking homosextality is Can Barton's star baker takd

the heat as the pressure tells The players and the cheerle`ders are

already warming up for this one .. The veteran footballers takhng

to the field once again. Humberside Police's Chief Constable

has confirmed 700 jobs will go at the force in the next five xears,

including 200 police officers. More than ?30 million has to be

saved but Justine Curran saxs by changing shift patterns lore

officers will be available to The Police Federation who rdpresent

officers say they're worried about fatigue and sickness caused

by rising work loads. In a moment I will be talking to

the Chief Constable who is with me in the studio but first Jo Lakel

has this report. Austerity is still biting ptblic

Celsius. A Humberside Policd has already had received ?30 million

earned more cuts are on the way 200 officers must go. 500 other

possessions, also. But by changing the shift patterns, Justine Curran

believes she can have more officers available. We will do everything

that we can, everything at our disposal. The new shift patterns

will give us 100 officers over each 24 was. `` hours. But the Police

Federation is worried. They are going to have to work this new shift

pattern, they are going to have less quality time with families. Fatigue

is going to play a big part. What of the communities? Officers whll no

longer be organised according to geography but by demand. Thdre's

sense in this... According to the Home Office, St Andrews had 561

reported crimes. Holderness, 35 . But what do people want frol the

police? I want them to look out for us. What's the streets. I w`nt a few

safe where I work. `` feel safe where I live. This reorganisation

altar requires cultural changes for the force and the public. `` also.

Good evening Justine Curran. People watching tonight will wonder how

it's possible to lose 200 officers and 500 other staff including PCSOs

without affecting the quality of policing. How is that possible? We

are taking away bureaucracy, Barrios, things that do not deliver

benefit. So has it been over staff? No, but we have processes and

practices that do not delivdr. I am interested to listen to the

communities. We are committdd. It does sound like wool over the

eyes... I can understand. Btt we are revisiting the demand. It is not the

same as it used to be. By changing, we get more people out when needed.

The Police Federation have told us they worry about fatigue and the

'sickness will go through the roof'. How will you cope if officers don't

turn up to work because thex are exhausted? We have not done this on

the back of a fag packet. Wd have looked at the shift patterns, the

impact, but we have to put the public cost. `` first. 500 PCSOs

going as well? Approximatelx 40 It was just recently that they were

being hailed the next big thing They do a fantastic job but we have

shown that in terms of the demand, we can do with the issues. 200

police officers and 40 PCSOs? It is going to be a challenge. I have to

deliver 24th century policing. I am convinced that we can do th`t. The

Police Fed have also told us "centralisation of resources means

officers will have to travel further to incidents". Isn't it better to

have officers spread out across the force area? If you stay another

watch, they could be maybe Zoe? `` stay in a village, they could be 25

miles away? We will get the coverage. But the start far away?

Start the day at one point. It will be layered on. The chances `re, much

better coverage. They will be coming on at different times. Matthew

Grove, the Police and Crime Commissioner has said beford nobody

will lose their neighbourhood police station. Can you promise none of the

police stations currently open to the public will close? We h`ve no

plans to change their estatd. No plans. But we have to think about

how we can best provide the services. It is too simple to see

what bricks and mortar rehab, but we have to give them the axis that

people want. That could be `t a doctor's surgery. So not a police

station? People come to spe`k to us to get advice. They do not, for the

building. `` do not come for the building. Thank you. We want to hear

your views on this story, do you think it's possible to maintain or

even improve policing with cuts to officer numbers? What's your

experience of policing? The Labour leader Ed Miliband has

told BBC Look North he wants to see fewer unskilled migrants coling to

work in our area ` Mr Miliband has been answerhng

questions from voters in Grhmsby He's been speaking to our Political

Editor Tim Iredale at the L`bour Grimsby is a town where Labour

can't afford to lose many voters. The party will defend one

of its smallest majorities here in next year's general election

when the town's long time So,

the people of Grimsby have plenty to What can you do about emploxment

in the Grimsby area? What we're going to do immediately

for Ryan is raise the minimum wage so that thd job he

does get will be better paid. We're also going to create lore

apprenticeships, because I think too many of our young peopld

don't have opportunities. I'm Pat, retired,

and I want to know if Mr Miliband will cut the number of immigrants

allowed to come to the country. We want to get low

skill migration down. The way we'll do that, we'll clamp

down on employers who fail to pay the minimum wage ` migrants come

here, get paid below the minimum And I say to employers bringing

in workers from outside the EU. They must provide apprenticdships

for the next generation. Are you saying you want to see fewer

migrants coming to places My question is,

following the Scottish referendum, We need greater powers to bd

given to local areas in England We've had devolution in Scotland

after a leaflet attacking homosexuality was distributdd to

hundreds of homes in the city. Officers say the leaflet has

caused offence, and may It comes ahead

of this weekend's Lincoln Pride event, which organisers hopd will be

the biggest the city has sedn. This is the leaflet that has caused

so much offence. It disclails homosexuality as unnatural. When the

leaflet was put through this man's letterbox, she was upset and

annoyed. It made me feel angry. Opposite. `` Upset. That solebody

would post this. Police say they have received two formal colplaints.

They do not know who has bedn distributing it. It is a between

taming of the leaflet has c`used concern. The city, the annu`l prayed

struggle at the moment and even if it's not a struggle now, they

that there is going to be a future that is better than

the past, that their kids are going I think that now there's sense
