30/12/2016 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

Now it's time for the news where you are.

Drivers in Lincolnshire are being urged to take greater care

after one of the worst years for road deaths in a decade.

The county's roads are some of the most dangerous in England,

but until 2016 the numbers of those killed on them had been falling.

But, this year, there's been more grief for more families

despite education programmes across the county.

You've all seen the National casualty statistics...

For new and future drivers at St George's Academy in Sleaford,

2016's figures will serve as ample warning that there has been

a significant increase in road traffic deaths.

Early in the year we saw this coming.

Overall, the number of collisions we suffered this year was lower

Unfortunately, that has now plateaued and the fatals

Until now the number of recent road traffic deaths

But figures up to the 20th of December show that this year,

59 people died on Lincolnshire's roads

compared to last year, when 38 lost their lives.

This year's are the worst figures since 2007

when 65 motorists were killed and, of the 59 deaths in 2016,

24 have been older drivers aged 60 or more.

In Louth, many say that's not down to the roads,

Our village, where we live, it's 30 miles an hour,

but if anybody does 30, it's a miracle.

The volume of traffic has increased dramatically

You can be going along a motorway at 70, which is the limit,

2016 has seen an increase in moped deaths

That is why some instructors are calling for riders,

who can have just two hours' experience, to undergo

and possibly a bike test as well for them, a full test.

So on the same path as those who have full licences.

For now, though is that 2017 will see fewer fatalities

A 27 year old Grimsby man has been arrested

on suspicion of raping a women he met through a dating app.

Humberside Police are investigating, and are warning people who use

Officers say people seeing dates they've only being in touch with

online should meet in public and tell a friend where they're going.

People fall into that false sense of security in that,

dealing with people online, you feel more comfortable and more

relaxed, and those relationships progress a lot more quickly

than they would do when people meet face-to-face.

People just need to be aware of that and remember that,

when they have that first face-to-face meeting,

that they do it on their own terms, and terms that they are happy with.

Final rehearsals have taken place for events

which will open Hull's City of Culture year.

Katy Austin has had a closer look at just some of the things

we can look forward to in just the first few days.

This installation is called "Hull-ywood" Icons.

Photos of local people playing famous film characters.

At a pub in west Hull, those who took part were having

My guiding principle was that if someone approached me to do a film,

I would just say yes and then just trust that they were down the

costume and I would have the skill to make their idea a reality. The

most enthusiastic person and it just spills out onto the other

characters. It has drummed up the enthusiasm in myself. I just thought

it was such a laugh. I knew it would be very easy and light-hearted.

That's the border of it, really. It was great. I just really enjoyed it.

To be part of this, it is a piece of history, to be part of that, it is

brilliant. That was the rehearsal. This is where the magic will happen.

The silver screen is coming to Silver Street.

Final preparations have also been underway just up the street

Where Hull's story will be told through videos

The man behind Liverpool's European capital of culture year back in 2008

says the mammoth organisation effort - will be worth it.

At the beginning of 2008, when I went with that phrase that went by

all, it is like organising a big Scouse wedding, it is your year,

enjoy it, it will be fantastic. doesn't officially start

until Sunday but for some, And of course the big opening event

is "Made in Hull", taking place

scene on Humber Street as your selfie could become a giant,

living work of art. A rare species of bird has been

attracting bird watchers Waxwings are normally found in

Scandinavia, but today our cameras

caught them flitting around Hessle, with bird watchers coming from

miles around to see them. Now the weather forecast. It has

been a misty and cloudy day. As we go through the night we keep the

cloud and it is going to be fairly mild. There will be some patches of

Good evening, fog has been a problem in recent days, slow changes over

the next 48 hours or so as this weather front moves south bringing

rain and behind it, much cleaner, cold arctic air which will sweep

that fog out of the way. The fog was dense in places, you could hardly

see across the Thames in Kingston, Greater London this afternoon. It
