:01:31. > :01:35.brought new powers and more money to the area from London.
:01:36. > :01:37.But the majority of the county's politicians say they don't
:01:38. > :01:40.want an elected mayor, something the Government insists
:01:41. > :01:53.More from our political editor Tim Iredale.
:01:54. > :01:58.It's worth ?450 million over the next few years and will bring extra
:01:59. > :02:03.money for things like housing, transport, training and flight
:02:04. > :02:05.prevention. That did the cotnty s devolution dream be over?
:02:06. > :02:08.It is a disappointment because we are all against the mayor
:02:09. > :02:10.but we are and I am particularly passionate about, first of `ll,
:02:11. > :02:12.more devolution, less powers in central government,
:02:13. > :02:18.more powers to local councils and local government.
:02:19. > :02:24.The greater Lincolnshire de`l would bring together Lincolnshire as a
:02:25. > :02:27.whole, but it's the idea of a directly elected mayor when a new
:02:28. > :02:33.combined authority that is the problem. People were rightlx very
:02:34. > :02:37.concerned about the creation of a new layer of Government, so we are
:02:38. > :02:43.severely short of funds at the moment. What is the point? Dffect of
:02:44. > :02:47.the matter is, the deal that was on offer was not devolution, it was a
:02:48. > :02:54.dog 's breakfast is one of ly colleagues described it. Many big
:02:55. > :02:57.city areas including Manchester Sheffield have accepted deals
:02:58. > :03:01.excess. Some Lincolnshire councillors were reluctantlx
:03:02. > :03:06.appeared to accept the offer. Think it is a massive opportunity for a
:03:07. > :03:09.place that is to move forward, to use a horrible phrase.
:03:10. > :03:14.Unfortunately, we might now be taking a step backwards. Do voters
:03:15. > :03:18.in Lincoln want an elected layor? I don't mean we should, because it's
:03:19. > :03:23.paying someone else. Even though we get money back, we are still paying
:03:24. > :03:27.somebody and what will he do? Add a link we need to pay out extra money
:03:28. > :03:32.for another America. I think we are all right as we are. If it selected,
:03:33. > :03:35.I suppose it's a good thing if people have chosen that person based
:03:36. > :03:41.on their values and what thdy plan to do with the county. Senior
:03:42. > :03:44.Lincolnshire councillors will now go back to the Government asked for
:03:45. > :03:49.more powers without the need for an elected mayor. But Theresa Lay the
:03:50. > :03:55.Acme has also indicated that no merit means there is no deal.
:03:56. > :04:07.Joining me now is the leader of county council. Why as a cotncillors
:04:08. > :04:11.vote down the plans? Everybody was in favour of the devolution concept
:04:12. > :04:14.and the concept of having a greater Lincolnshire partnership. I think
:04:15. > :04:18.the biggest problem was the issue of the directly elected mayor `nd the
:04:19. > :04:23.consultation results were not in favour of the directly elected
:04:24. > :04:27.mayor. I think the majority of the councillors came to the view that it
:04:28. > :04:30.wasn't worth it, particularly as it were still some issues to bd
:04:31. > :04:37.resolved around the actual powers of the mayor and also the devolution
:04:38. > :04:42.needed to be beefed up a bit. Has Lincolnshire missed out aftdr the
:04:43. > :04:46.news and this boat? If councillors choose to walk away from having
:04:47. > :04:50.billions pounds of extra funding and significant powers and more money
:04:51. > :04:54.and power is to come, that hs a decision they will have six when the
:04:55. > :04:59.voters. I have to correct M`rtin, the consultation that was undertaken
:05:00. > :05:01.said very clearly that people across greater Lincolnshire, the
:05:02. > :05:05.overwhelming majority support devolution, so we need to ddliver on
:05:06. > :05:10.what the public want from us, which has power is taken away frol this
:05:11. > :05:14.place year and given to loc`l people. The county council signed up
:05:15. > :05:18.to the deal, which included an elected mayor and it is frustrating
:05:19. > :05:23.just as we were about to get the money and power that they mhght be
:05:24. > :05:29.about a wok away from it. It is very sad for the area. Wires onlx people
:05:30. > :05:33.against the elected mayor? Need to who is a clear result from these
:05:34. > :05:37.consultation and the result was that the people of Lincolnshire `lthough
:05:38. > :05:40.supportive of devolution and the greater Lincolnshire concept, were
:05:41. > :05:49.not in favour of the mayor `nd it was a lot of... That is not true. It
:05:50. > :05:54.is true. Was 48% and 46%, is there was no majority either way. My area
:05:55. > :06:00.was in favour of a mayor. I am talking about the whole are`. Doc
:06:01. > :06:15.interacting me, but only to have a say. -- stop interrupting md. In my
:06:16. > :06:18.mind it was a direct sponsors. There were a lot of comments and frankly I
:06:19. > :06:24.can find anybody in favour of it. Sorry. Let me just as you, wires and
:06:25. > :06:29.people against it? Other ardas are quite happy about it. You jtst heard
:06:30. > :06:34.what was possibly gone down the tubes because of this. The hssue is
:06:35. > :06:38.and we did consult with the public, I think you were in favour of
:06:39. > :06:44.Brexit, one of the issues wd have as politicians at that sometimds we are
:06:45. > :06:48.criticised. We had a thorough, comprehensive consultation to every
:06:49. > :06:53.household in the county and the clear result came back and we did
:06:54. > :06:58.sign the deal, but it was stbject to consultation. Just briefly, why is
:06:59. > :07:02.the Government so insistent on having a mirror? Why can thdy have
:07:03. > :07:07.the deal without the mayor? Just briefly. Is about accountabhlity to
:07:08. > :07:12.the public. These are the shngle politician across the area who was
:07:13. > :07:18.elected on a geography. Nond of us are accountable for that whole
:07:19. > :07:23.geography, so if you're going to deliver of pounds of money to local
:07:24. > :07:26.people than I think that local residents have a right to hold
:07:27. > :07:29.somebody to account for how they make those decisions and thdre is no
:07:30. > :07:32.one who does that at the molent and that is why we insist on it and that
:07:33. > :07:37.is why so many areas are powering ahead with this. It is so s`d. No
:07:38. > :07:58.cutes thank you. Would you like more devolved power?
:07:59. > :08:02.Would you like a mirror frol Lincolnshire? Would this be a missed
:08:03. > :08:09.opportunity or are you pleased that we voted against it? Get in touch.

:20:49. > :20:50.You say that, but the NHS h`s difficulties hiring people
:20:51. > :20:52.as well, so there is a Lincolnshire factor.
:20:53. > :20:55.I'm interested to know why ` a real top job, running the police
:20:56. > :20:58.Well, like I say, it's a national problem.
:20:59. > :21:03.Lincolnshire is a great place to be, but when you've got nearly 80% of
:21:04. > :21:06.all Chief Constable appointlents only getting one applicant then it's
:21:07. > :21:13.something the Government need to address.
:21:14. > :21:15.Well, maybe having crime commissioners has made the job
:21:16. > :21:18.less attractive, because no one really knows who's in chargd.
:21:19. > :21:24.Well, I'd have to say, when only a couple of weeks ago you
:21:25. > :21:26.get national media campaigns talking about how much chiefs get
:21:27. > :21:29.paid and what a luxury package it is, it's not.
:21:30. > :21:32.How much of the salary in Lincolnshire?
:21:33. > :21:37.Well, you're looking at ?133,000 a year, which
:21:38. > :21:39.doesn't sound an insignific`nt amount of money.
:21:40. > :21:42.But when you think you could be a Deputy Chief
:21:43. > :21:44.Constable for not much less, why would you take that extra profile,
:21:45. > :21:49.So, are you saying that they need to pay more?
:21:50. > :21:52.That the discrepancy needs to be bigger between the assistant and
:21:53. > :21:55.Well, I certainly think it needs looking at in the round.
:21:56. > :21:59.constables of other countrids get paid significantly more than we pay
:22:00. > :22:02.it's a very demanding job and it certainly is
:22:03. > :22:04.compatible to jobs that pay a lot more.
:22:05. > :22:07.And just finally, the Home Office has said this afternoon,
:22:08. > :22:17.they've never had to step in in a circumstance that this before
:22:18. > :22:20.Do you think they might have the on
:22:21. > :22:26.Like I say, this has happened in the last
:22:27. > :22:28.eight out of 11 cases where there was only one applicant.
:22:29. > :22:35.I'm just going to make sure that we get
:22:36. > :22:38.Mr Jones, very good to talk to you tonight.
:22:39. > :22:50.If you do have views on that as well, get in touch.
:22:51. > :22:53.More than 8,000 people have turned out at the opening
:22:54. > :22:55.of a massive new shopping cdntre in Leeds this morning.
:22:56. > :22:58.Victoria Gate has been built at a cost of ?165 million,
:22:59. > :23:04.and has dozens of shops - including John Lewis.
:23:05. > :23:06.It's raised more than ?12 million for Children

:23:09. > :23:10.Challenge' will come to East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
:23:11. > :23:13.The event next month will fdature presenter Matt Baker and several
:23:14. > :23:14.children who have been helpdd by the charity.
:23:15. > :23:17.They will set off from Scotland before travelling down
:23:18. > :23:18.to Scarborough, Bridlington, Hull and Skegness before
:23:19. > :23:34.The Humber Bridge is one of the largest and most widdly used
:23:35. > :23:38.But new research suggests that only a tiny number of people arotnd
:23:39. > :23:41.the UK actually recognise it - with many living in the South unable
:23:42. > :23:44.to name it, and often mistaking it for San Francisco's Golden
:23:45. > :23:47.But worse than that, it's claimed only three out of ten
:23:48. > :23:49.people in Yorkshire can identify the structure.
:23:50. > :24:09.It's one of the most recognhsable landmarks in our area, or is it Not
:24:10. > :24:14.necessarily according to visitors in Europe today. Maybe it is in
:24:15. > :24:22.Americana, I am not really sure Seattle? I don't know. It's the San
:24:23. > :24:27.Francisco Bridge. What makes easy that? Simek because it looks like
:24:28. > :24:42.it. I am going to guess at Hull You got it in one. Is it in Scotland?
:24:43. > :24:48.It's the Humber Bridge. Oh, sorry. I'm from Essex. Of the 2000 adults
:24:49. > :24:53.who took part, less than a third were able to correctly identify the
:24:54. > :24:58.Humber Bridge. One in ten pdople but it was the golden gate Bridge in San
:24:59. > :25:03.Francisco. Well recognition rates were lower in the south-east and
:25:04. > :25:06.Scotland, the poll also found that three out of ten people who live
:25:07. > :25:12.close by in the area also f`iled to recognise it. There is a serious
:25:13. > :25:16.side to the research. Saffixah are highlighting the role of engineering
:25:17. > :25:22.in everyday life and trying to encourage future engineers. The
:25:23. > :25:26.Humber Bridge is equally important in terms of getting people
:25:27. > :25:29.interested in the task had to do to achieve that feat is no smaller one
:25:30. > :25:33.in getting across the Thames. We just need to go out and showed that
:25:34. > :25:37.these things more and one of the reasons for doing the poll was to
:25:38. > :25:41.enable us to do that. Peopld looking at the view of the bridge today
:25:42. > :25:46.agreed that it needs to be celebrated more. If people could see
:25:47. > :25:51.how it was built in the first place, people might have more interest in
:25:52. > :25:54.it. I have noticed it, I like it, the people of Hull like it. What
:25:55. > :26:01.does it matter whether others like it? It might not be as famots as the
:26:02. > :26:04.Forth railway bridge or the Clifton suspension Bridge, but therd is a
:26:05. > :26:09.lot of love in these parts `t least for our Humber Bridge. I wotld have
:26:10. > :26:13.but it was more famous, but still. You might like to comment on that as
:26:14. > :26:14.well. Let's have a recap of the headlines.
:26:15. > :26:16.Theresa May faces pressure from European Leaders
