18/01/2017 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.

The headlines from us this Wednesday night.

Lincoln City's FA Cup shocker - their historic win over Championship

side Ipswich is watched by an audience of millions.

All the chaos around me. There was 10,000 fans screaming down the back

of my neck. Can I join my honourable friend

in congratulating Lincoln City on their victory last night

and so I think it was a fitting tribute to Graham

Taylor that they won that match. A man is charged with murdering

a fellow patient at this mental The council spending thousands

to clean up after travellers - but STILL unable to provide a site

for them to stay on. There should be a site where they

can go because the police say that they never the manpower to move them

that is the way to move them to. Plagued by vandals -

the owners of Pleasure Island step up security to stop

people breaking in. I'll be live later in the show,

as this block of flats is transformed into a City

of Culture lights display. And how Hull's Bee Lady

crashed a photo and became The fine and settle the weather

looks like continuing into the weekend. Join me later for that

detailed forecast. More than four million more watched

on television in this country. 100 million more watched

across the world. And they saw Lincoln City secure

a famous FA Cup upset. The Imps beat Championship side

Ipswich on one of the biggest After years of despair it

has been a remarkable In a moment I'll be speaking

to the man behind it all - But first Simon Clark

has this report. It's a long, long time since

Sincil Bank was as packed as this. 9,000 fans watching a game being

beamed across Britain and the globe. A game where former Lincoln

manager Graham Taylor was remembered after his untimely

passing last week. Lincoln dominated the game,

belying their non-league status but the dramatic breakthrough didn't

come until moments from the end. There was 10,000 fans screaming down

the back of my neck and, you know, I had to stay composed

in them moments. Them moments come from every day

on the training ground, working hard and, you know,

what an atmosphere it was tonight. A great result for Lincoln. They

just seem to pull it out the baggage really went for it. Really proud.

Every one of those players deserve plaudits of the 9000 who have been

here. They go on to the fourth round and play West Bromwich are being

that beating the side will take some doing. That's like Albion.

The result is further endorsement of the board's decision

to employ two schoolteachers as manager and assistant.

Danny and Nicky Cowley have transformed this club

This cup run has so far earned the Imps ?125,000 in prize money.

They've made ?144,000 from TV rights.

They've sold tickets worth ?70,000 so

with other revenues the club estimate total earnings

The fact that last night we had 9000 people today and we are looking at

6000 for the next game. It even reached the highest house in the

land. Can I join my honourable friend

in congratulating Lincoln City on their victory last night

and so I think it was a fitting tribute to Graham

Taylor that they won that match. 9,000 fans last night

and around 6,000 expected for the next home game -

the league match against Dover. These are good times

indeed at Sincil Bank. Earlier on I spoke with Lincoln City

manager Danny Cowley. I asked him how it felt to put

the Imps in the national spotlight. It was fantastic TV audience and a

great crowd and a night everyone will remember for a long time.

Despite having a big crowd there and be on BBC One they did not seem in

the least bit nervous. Two games we have now played against Ipswich, a

champion team and have gone toe to toe with them and for me we have

deservedly come out on top and I am delighted for the players that they

have got to the levels they have got to in front of such a big audience.

What was going through your mind in the end? That you assume there would

be extra time? We were expecting extra time and you are getting ready

to prepare your team talk for that moment but thankfully we did not

need it. He certainly didn't. You're a schoolteacher who moved to

football manager. Unorthodox in itself. Why did you make the switch

because this is a precarious old profession? Yes. People often said

to me that it's a gamble that Nikki and I both believe in the work ethic

and believe in our skill set and when the opportunity come around it

was one of you love football like we do it was one we turn down. Does

being a schoolteacher help when you're dealing with not a football

players Bismarck football players and naughty schoolchildren have some

luxuries so I think it is transferable skills that definitely.

But we are people's people and enjoy working with people and trying to

get the best out of people and will both jobs, have to say that. Think

carefully before use and to this question. You split the week between

Essex and Lincoln. Which do you like best? I love both. I live in

Chelmsford and love link. I have to say since we have moved to Lincoln

the people of been fantastic with this and it is a lovely place to

live and one that myself and my family we enjoy. Brighton next. Can

you do it? We've got confidence from the tee and switch games and have

also been inspired by those games and vacations. As Matt the two

Ipswich games. And a sureness that in the FA Cup anything is possible.

-- it shows in the FA Cup that anything is possible.

Were you at the game last night - what did you make of it?

How impressed have you been with Lincoln City and

60-year-old Robert McNeil died at the Great Oaks Hospital on Monday.

Our health correspondent Vicky Johnson reports.

In a brief appearance at Grimsby Magistrates' Court

26-year-old Jamie Reed only confirmed his name, date of birth

and address in Crowle, North Lincolnshire.

He is charged with murdering Robert McNeil in the early hours

of Monday morning at Great Oaks, here in Scunthorpe.

A council says it's having to spend thousands of pounds each year

clearing up after travellers but admits it still can't find

Authorities have a legal duty to provide temporary stopping places

but despite looking at more than 1200 sites North East

Lincolnshire Council says it hasn't got anywhere suitable.

It's now been told to hurry up and get on with finding somewhere.

Some of the 300 tonnes of rubbish it was claimed was left by a group of

travellers in three weeks. Then they just dumped their rubbish

mainly in that corner at the finish. For farmer Brian Holden

from Tetney near Grimsby, Based at ?10,000 bill to clean up

this fell the Matfield. I didn't sleep at night,

I was always worried about what was going to happen

and how I was going In 2015 the group spent three weeks

in his field leaving Part of the problem, Brian says,

is there are currently no designated sites for travellers in East Lindsey

or North East Lincolnshire. I think there definitely ought to be

a site where they could go because the police complained

even if they had the manpower to move them, there is

nowhere to move them to. The sooner they get

a site, the better. In the last four years unauthorised

traveller sites have been set up 80 The council says it cost it more

than ?43,000 to clear them up. It's been told a minimum of five

temporary pitches are needed but after looking at more than 1,200

possible locations to build them, The issue will be discussed by

North East Lincolnshire Council this afternoon and while the travelling

community says it hasn't been At a meeting this afternoon North

East Lancashire council said they may have defined smaller fields

rather than a larger one defined designated stopping sites for the

travelling community. If it does not so that's a requirement it rests

going against government strategy. The Traveller group says it has

obligations it is not fulfilling. There are laws in place saying we

must be included when provision for housing is needed. While the

travelling committee says it is to be better consulted landowners like

Brian say they need to be better protected.

Earlier I spoke to Councillor Matthew Patrick from

North East Lincolnshire Council, and I asked him if the council

No, I don't accept that, Peter. What I accept as this is a very important

decision and it is important we make an evidence -based choice and do

what is right for the borough. You have looked at 1200 potential sites

and out of those you said I'd have those not won a suitable. That can't

be right. Those were individual sites. There were a number of sites

which were deemed as being too small and that is what the going back to

this process to look at a number of individual smaller size as opposed

to one bigger site. What about those who say you don't want to find

somewhere fined five places are three places because you know the

local committee nearby will be unhappy. In other words all you're

doing is ducking the issue and kicking it into the long grass. Far

from it. There has been a lot of hard work done this over the last

two years and when we actually do identify a site we want

straightforward as it has to go through the planning process and

will be a public consultation. We have spoken to the Traveller

community have said you have not spoken to them about what they

actually want. That would be the best thing to do, wouldn't it? It

would be once we're fat advice on sites going forward. There are a lot

of sites to look at so we have some prepared sites based on

accessibility and flood risk and also the sensitivities of the local

community and can then come forward and take their input on it. In the

process ?45,000 has been spent cleaning up unauthorised sites. How

long will Traveller site be? I would talk about this year, can you

confirm that? The of the process we would hope to have it ready for this

year but as you know local land will not necessarily be signed off till

December stood as a very long-term process. As far as a traveller

committee is concerned and the ball be watching this and be very

concerned about the outcome, do you accept you have been drugging

inhalers and made a big job out of this? As I said I don't accept that

and I think it is very important we get this decision done correctly. We

did make a snap decision of where we decide on the site in the next few

weeks and then somebody sees a traveller site just across the back

garden but I'm not willing to do that is because Peter Leavey tells

me off camera. Eyes-mac Peter Levy. Do you think the council

are stalling on this one - should they just get

on and sort this out? Where should they put

the sites though? Would you be happy if it

was near your house? On the programme at half past ten

tonight we will be talking to a representative of the Traveller

community. The block of flats that's being

given a City of Culture face-lift. And how Hull's Bee Lady

crashed a photo and became Janet took this picture looking

towards the River Humber from the Bridge across the River

Hull. John says it rained today but we

were promised would be dry today by the Welsh weather Wizard at

lunchtime. I can't be all things to all people, Peter. It is the fog of

the Welsh windbag? Yes. -- fog. It looks calm and settled in all parts

will be dry. Look what is happening. Very little. I pressure to is what

is today and Friday and Saturday into Sunday. Some changes might

introduce just a few breaks in the course of study which means a little

bit of sunshine. All the bad weather not for the first time the last

romances don't over the Mediterranean. You can see the

extent of the cloud. You can the have been. We have had a few breaks

across Lincolnshire today and it was a brightness of brightness over

North West Norfolk. The many other cities are dry and cloudy and quiet

night. There might be the odd spot of light rain and drizzle in places

but essentially it is dry and cloudy. Lowest temperatures ranging

from actually two Celsius across The Wash. Elsewhere it'll be five or six

or seven. For most of us it will be frost free. Sun rises at seven

minutes past eight and high water is at 40 minutes past ten in Hull.

Boring and nondescript day tomorrow. Some drizzle in places basically

drive. You will be lucky to see blue sky because essentially will be

cloudy and fairly benign stuff. A light wind and we will see top

temperatures ranging from 8 degrees across East Yorkshire and the call

of five Celsius around the finance and the Was. Spot the difference.

Friday looks grey and Saturday brightening a little later. Sunday

looks dry and bright with some sunshine. That's the accurate

forecast tonight. I am sure somebody will drop you in

with the Welsh windbag on Twitter tonight. You have not told me,

Peter, what is going on. Just go away.

It was a fixture on the East Coast - entertaining millions

But bit by bit Pleasure Island in Cleethorpes is being taken apart.

The park closed last year, now some of the rides

are being dismantled and sold off overseas.

Others are becoming targets for vandals.

Where once the sound of laughter and families having fun filled the air

that is now an EV silence. Pleasure Island closed at the end of last

year and many of the rights will be sold and taken away. It is sad for

the owner but she says the company was left with no other option. It

would have cost ?2 million and that is the kind of money we did not

have. While we have been small expectations are big and that is the

kind of thing we could not meet. We have been battling with that for

many years and unfortunately we have found ourselves in the position that

we have been today. Pleasure Island opened in 1993 and became a huge to

this attraction for Cleethorpes. Next week work to dismantle the

boomerang, its star attraction will begin. It has been sold to another

theme park in Asia. Some of the workers started and this right has

been partially dismantled and shipped off to the Czech Republic

with it will be refurbished and sold on. It is sad to see the park like

this but the majority of the rights here this time next year will be

someone else giving someone else fun and entertainment. It just goes

round in the cycle. Bonnie is just really friendly. But in one product

the park oblivious to the changes at the resident sea lions are being

cared for as normal by that trainer before moving to a new home. I was

14 when I started and never left so about ten years I have been working

here. It is such a shame but I'm happy as well to be the one with

them up until the last days at Pleasure Island. That is quite a

nice thing to know in the back of my mind. Recently there has been a

daily battle with vandals and managers are appealing for those

responsible to stop. It is not yet known what will happen to the site

when it is clear that Melanie hopes it will have a sustainable future

that will provide more jobs in the result. -- resort.

A Hull council estate has been turned into a light show

for the latest public display as part of City of Culture.

Hundreds of filters have been put on the lights of the Thornton Estate

Katy Austin is there, what's the thinking behind this?

This eight story block of flats is like a riot of colour. They have

been transformed by putting colour filters or the outside lights. The

message is all about communication. The idea is this this estate will

get to weave a big positive hello to the rest of the city. Residents have

had a say over what they wanted and said Air France

doors. As tenants we choose our own colours and actually meet tenants.

When we first got the first City of Culture I that was going to be

answered anything else but with makes you feel part of it. This is

one of 60 community projects being funded by Hull 2017. The idea is

again fan out to people who Dodgers live in city centre but live in

other parts of the city. -- don't just live in the centre.

The story of how 94-year-old Jean dresses up as the Bee Lady to raise

money Jean Bishop has been fundraising

for a very long time. In fact you could have a child,

raise them and sent them through school and university

and Jean Bishop will still be able to say that she's spent more time

dressed as a bee raising The amount of money I raise I put it

in a bank which I've done for all these years. When it got too

?107,000 I thought I will try to get my 200,000.

In the last few days a BBC News video of Jean has gone

Never. I hope live up to it. I don't want to disappoint anybody.

and is now even managing to upstage celebrities such as Aled Jones.

Her friends say what you see with Jean is what you get.

She has a terrific sense of humour. She gives us all an orderly and have

a great time. I think she should be honoured in some way.

Jean says that though she's getting older

she's no plans to give up fundraising and is even

She is just wonderful. Good evening to Jean if she is tuned in.

Lincoln city since I was a toddler. Last night 's match was amazing. It

was great football. Thank you very much for that. That's it for me. The

second Blue North at a past ten. Jonas if you can.

Hello. I hope you're well. I really do.

Because if you're not, then chances are the NHS won't be able to

look after you as well as it should. And that's wrong.

Because the Labour Party created the NHS 70 years ago on

the founding principles of it being comprehensive, universal and free.

The NHS was created to care for us but now the NHS needs our care.
