23/01/2017 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

Good evening, and welcome to BBC Look North.

Jessica Danby died when she was hit by a car trying to overtake

Today her mother tells us the driver's jail

two years is nothing. At the end of the day he is spending one year in

prison one year on licence for killing somebody. That's disgusting.

Also on the programme tonight. Radio 1's Big Weekend

is going to be in... It's official - Radio 1's

Big Weekend will come to the area, as part of City

of Culture celebrations. 50,000 music fans are

expected to attend. It's really exciting. It'll be good

for Hull. Music connects people and it will be awesome that people are

there enjoying the music. "They saved his life" -

forecast with a warning of fog. The latest coming up shortly.

Teenager Jessica Danby was on her way to work at a coffee

shop in Lincolnshire, when she was involved

The 19-year-old was driving her moped on the A52 wearing

high-visibility clothing, when she was hit by a car coming

The driver - who was trying to overtake a lorry in thick fog -

But today Jessica's mother told Look North that the two-year jail

term he was given just isn't long enough.

Our correspondent Vicky Johnson has more.

She was a very bubbly character. Very determined. She had an

infectious laugh. You always knew where she was. Her mother and

stepfather try to remember the good times but it is hard. It's

devastating. There is a big hole missing. It's never going to get

replaced. Remember when I was in reception we had show and tell. She

was in a sub wiring actress and had just completed her first show real.

She would have done it. It might have taken her awhile but I know for

a fact you would have done it. If she watched you anything she did it.

It was a foggy morning much like today when Jess was making her way

to her job along the A50 two. She had done all the right things, she

was wearing a high viz jacket and her mobile lights were on. But then

a driver crashed head on into her in dense fog after overtaking a lorry

tractor unit. He had admitted causing date death by dangerous

driving and was jailed for two years. At the end the day he has

killed somebody. It is as bad as manslaughter in my eyes. He has gone

out and made decision to overtake, he knew he couldn't see, and is

dangerous. And he should be punished properly for that. At present in the

UK, death by dangerous driving has a maximum sentence of 14 years. The

Government is currently looking to increase this to life. In 2015 the

average length of sentence given was just under four years. A judge has

had to take into account the background of the driver, has he got

a previous record, what he does for a living, his own family, is he

remorseful, and then he has to look at the victim's statement, what are

the consequences of the death on the deceased's family. He has to put all

that into a balance. The family say everyone should take more

responsibility and drive with more care. People go to jail regularly

and then still commit the same offences. It is just a lack of

concentration for a single second that can be avoided. Who's you think

I am? It's 15 months since Jess was killed. Her family say a two-year

sentence is simply not enough for a life cut so tragically short.

This is one we'd like to hear your thoughts on.

Do you think careless and dangerous driving sentences are long enough?

Do you think they do enough to reflect the impact it

It's one of the biggest free music festivals in Europe,

attracting 50,000 fans every year to see the world's biggest

And today, it was announced that Radio One's Big Weekend would be

coming to this area as part of City Of Culture celebrations.

The first major headline acts are confirmed - Kings

Of Leon and Little Mix - with more to be announced

And this is where they'll be coming to at the end of May.

Burton Constable, a normally sleepy rural village just ten

Our correspondent Leanne Brown is at Burton Constable Hall now,

chosen as the venue for the two day festival.

This grade one listed Elizabethan country house is surrounded by 300

acres of parkland, so size played a huge part. The city of culture team

and Radio 1 did look at other venues in Hull but in terms of logistics,

transport and safety, this was seen as the best option. And of course

those a list music stars might need somewhere to land their helicopters,

and they might want a BIP area. Our whole 2017 reporter has been looking

at the line-up. It's the biggest free

ticketed event in Europe. BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend attracts

headline acts and music lovers from around the world and just

before eight o'clock this morning And this is where it is going to be

whole held. Burton Constable Hall. Right now I am still in the exact

location where Kings of Leon and little mix will be performing on the

main stage. In the background you concede Burton Constable Hall

standing tall and proud. Organisers say this was the only location that

was big enough locally to cater for the 50,000 people that will be

descending on the area in May. We are going to be using roughly 50

acres of this and then we have got the main grounds,

the riding school block and then What are the logistics for the

preparation? It's already started, planning where the fencing will be,

whether roadway will be. That will take about eight days to put into

place. The two-day music event is coming as part of the city of

culture celebrations and for those who hope to get tickets it will be

their first experience of on this scale. It's really exciting. I think

it'll be good for hole. He's convenient for in hell because we

won't have to travel. Music definitely connects people. How good

you think this is the city of culture? I think it will be really

influential because a lot of artists are coming and a lot of people who

see them in the media will want to be a part of that. There is four

months to get Burton Constable ready for what will be another top event

coming to Yorkshire in 2017. So how will the area cope with

thousands of music fans? Around 100 people live in Burton Constable and

I've been getting reactions from the local community.

Surrounded by meadows and lakes, Burton Constable is the place

to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of rural East Yorkshire.

Is a real jewel in the crown of East Riding. Probably hidden away to a

lot of people in the world. This is opportunity to really showcase what

we have in East Riding. But is it ready for

an influx of people? It's going to bring a lot of trade

to the village. City of culture in Hull is brilliant. A lot of new

people coming to see what Yorkshire is all about. It will bring

everybody together and it is massive. One local is hoping for

some extra trade. There's going to be a lot of mess left afterwards

which is good for us. Basically that is what we do.

And the stately home isn't new to large events -

for the last few years it's hosted the Cornucopia Music

They do well they get a good crowd. It's time to go to the next level.

In the 60s there were rock festivals. In the main grounds.

They've had some big famous brands. They've had big crowds therefore

stop It's not unusual for a music

The annual Leeds Festival is at Bramham Park is held 12

it's no more than an extension of the city. We are as one really. And

I don't understand how people sometimes see barriers by S sign on

the road saying East Riding or hole. Wirral one big family.

As work continues on the logistics, it's hoped that this huge musical

event will bring a boost to Hull and the east.

More details will be released in coming weeks as to how to get

tickets. They are highly sought-after so people are looking

forward to aim mention of Burton Constable. It was described as the

area's best kept secret. Not any more.

One of the organisers of the Big Weekend was asked why they chose to

bring it to hole. We've been looking at it for about five or six years.

Burton Constable is a fantastic site. There's a huge population of

young people in Harlem. We felt they needed access to events such as

this. It's not often you see major events such as this in the area. The

site and also that factor as well as the fact that there is the city of

culture was an obvious reason to look at it. Some people are saying

in social media why not actually in Hull? Maybe at the football stadium?

We looked at the various sites around the city itself and actually

there's a kind of templated if you like of the site that we take to

whichever city we go to. And we simply could not fit it into some of

the parks that were on offer. The infrastructure at Burton Constable

is really spot on. It's a bit out of town but we need to make sure we can

replicate the model we take year-on-year. So when will the

tickets be available and how do people get them? Were not ready to

announce those dates just yet but if they listen to radio one they will

find that information. It will be basically going online and

purchasing tickets on a first-come first-served basis. And the local

people will get the lion's share of the tickets? That is correct. The

proportion of the tickets available to the local area is higher than

ever you. We always like to give the lion's share to the local community.

Exciting times. I am a man of a certain age. Would I enjoy this

music? You would love it. You would love it. But we have three artists

already announced today, but the other artists on the line-up after

nominal. We have some really big... But you won't have me tonight? No.

We wish you well with it. We would like your thoughts on this.

Is it good news for the area? Are you hoping to get tickets? What you

think it will mean the businesses and people in the area? Here's a

reminder of the e-mail address and text number.

Lincolnshire County Council say they could save ?150 million

over five years if they were to become

They intend to put the option to a public referendum

The County Council leader says it would be more

We have confusion over the roads - the county council maintains

the road, the council sweeps it -sSo there's all this confusion.

Now, frankly, the public don't really care.

And we work as best we can together, the county and district

wouldn't need eight management teams, you wouldn't need eight of

The Government's announced it's going to spend just under

?160 million across Yorkshire and the Humber,

Flood defences around the Humber will be strengthened, meaning more

sites can be used to build houses, offices and factories.

Parts of Bridlington, Goole and Grimsby will

so that's going to bring the sea, the river, the

canal, the rail and the road network together, to make it

Praise the Hull city medical staff after one of the team's players

fractured his skull during a game. And calls for dog owners

to keep their pets on leads, after a fiendly deer is killed

at a nature reserve. Here was tonight's photograph. It's

very atmospheric, isn't it? Will you be going to watch the

bands? I've never even heard of them. Have you managed to blag any

free tickets? Let's look at the next 24 hours. We have a warning of fog

and that could be particularly dense later in the night. Extra time will

be needed for the commute at the weekend. The weekend looks dry and

cold with frost and fog. The fog is largely a problem during the first

half of the week. High pressure is dominating yet again. Just noticed

the isobars veering round to the South East and that will drag in

some very cold air. Temperatures on Thursday might not be higher than

one or 2 degrees by the day. Some fog is slow to clear. Just in the

last couple of hours thicker cloud has brought the odd spot of rain.

That has tended to lift the fog that had not cleared through the course

of this afternoon. That band of cloud and the odd spot of rain will

clear and we will see Mr and fog becoming widespread later. Because

we've had some rain ice could be an issue as well. Watch out on the

roads. Lowest rural temperatures down to minus three Celsius. 27

Fahrenheit. Here are the sunrises. Some dense freezing fog patches to

contenders in the morning. It could be really slow to clear. Eventually

most of the fog will clear and we will cease hazy sunshine just like

today. That fog will thicken up against tomorrow evening's commute.

There will be a warning in place I'm sure by tomorrow evening.

Temperatures will come in at 4 degrees where Falkirk persists.

Brightening later, very cold wind on Thursday. That is the forecast.

The sunrises or sets? You only had one job! Whatever.

Prompt action from Hull City's medical team

That's the opinion of one leading surgeon, after the Tigers midfielder

was stretchered off with a fractured skull during yesterday's game

Here's our Sports Reporter, Simon Clark.

This is the moment in the first half when Ryan Mason suffered

The referee, Neil Swarbrick, recognised the seriousness instantly

It was eight minutes before Mason was stretchered

from the field and taken to St Mary's Hospital in Paddington.

Today a leading neurosurgeon said this saved Ryan Mason from serious

injury. We are seen changes in recognising when this serious injury

has occurred. If he had been allowed to carry on possibly a worse outcome

might have followed. In their latest bulletin, the club's say:

The severity of the injury is not common in football and this

was the reaction of one former professional on Match Of The Day.

I think they realised straightaway how bad this was and our thoughts

It's a terrible thing to see on a football pitch.

Of course Gary Cahill was just innocently going for the ball.

It was a sickening challenge and let's hope he gets back

Since Mason was carried from the field, the football world

has taken to social media to express concern.

Former team-mate Gareth Bale said get well soon, mate, our thoughts

We would like to send our best wishes to Ryan Mason

And Tigers team-mate Curtis Davies added,

thinking of you Ryan Mason, get well soon, mate.

Last night Gary Cahill, the Chelsea player involved

Mason can expect to make a full recovery from his injury but that

could take weeks, even months. Simon is with me now -

what's the latest on Ryan Now we know he's talking that is a

welcome relief. He's also been able to see her visitors, one of which

was the man he crashed into. His family say they've been overwhelmed

by the support that they've had in these difficult 24 hours. And now of

course everybody hopes he makes a speedy recovery. The long road to

recovery starts now and we'll keep you posted all

the way through. Hull city have added to their squad

with signing of Liverpool midfielder on loan to the end of the season.

The Serbian midfielder cost and ?20 million in 2014. He's been on loan

to a Portuguese side the first half of the season.

People working at a nature reserve in North Lincolnshire say they've

been left heartbroken, after a much loved deer had to be

Daphne the Deer, as she was nicknamed, had become a popular

attraction at the Water's Edge centre in Barton, and was one

of the few wild deer there tame enough to interact with people.

Daphne was a wild roe deer, but chose to stay close

to the visitors' centre at Water's Edge after people

Rob is one of the volunteers at the country park who got to

It's not very often you can get that close to a deer that is

She was our best kept secret round here, because we didn't like

is filled with tributes from young and old.

It's an unusual sight but a measure of this animal's

She used to pop her head over the fence and watch us warm up

She was unique - I called her "our little lady",

I think it's disgraceful and I think people with dogs should be

Today vets confirmed that Daphne died

This country park prides itself on its open

access to dog walkers, but they are being reminded

to keep their pets on a lead or under tight control.

Most visitors do understand that and appreciate that.

But, you know, you get the occasional visitor with

their dog who thinks, "my dog's not going to hurt anyone".

You never know - when the dog comes face-to-face with an animal out

As tributes to Daphne continue tocome in, a ?200 reward is

being offered for information that leads to the successful prosecution

We'll let you know if there are any developments.

It's one of East Yorkshire's best known landmarks,

but the materials which make up Beverley Minster require

And as Jill Archbold reports, one man has just been given the task

of preserving the building for generations to come.

We we have one of the main wing doze during the whole of Beverley and on

the pains you can see where people over history have decided to leave

their mark. The plumber in 1878, some of the past vergers that way

here till 1982. This man is just starting to learn about some of

Beverley Minster's hidden secrets. We have everything from original

tree trunks that they used... The materials which make up this

building, ancient stone, timber, glass and led, have now become his

responsible at it. The immensity of it was scary. But I live in

Beverley, I have done for a while and it is the biggest, most

prominent building. I couldn't say no. This working tread wheel is the

oldest in the country. Preservation of such medieval features started

nearly 800 years ago. The responsibility falls not with the

church but with an ancient charity called the Old Fund. Most clergy

would tell you they didn't become ordained to become the curator of an

ancient building, but in the Church of England that is what we have. Ask

anyone about their local church and then tell you how much they love it,

even if they don't feel like part of the worshipping community. Looking

after a building like this is part of our mission. Hundreds of years

ago when it was first built, the only way to get materials up to them

roof was left them using the tread wheel. Modern methods may make

fixing roofs easier but the challenge of the 21st century is

finding the money to do it. More than ?5 million is needed to replace

the high roofs. The nearly three decades one man has been doing his

best to patch them up. Some of this lead where I'm stood now is over 200

years old. It's a full-time job, keeping on top of the leaks on the

roof. Obviously, if we get a very heavy rainfall, will go around and

inspect on the inside, monitor the leaks. It may be high maintenance,

but those who call it their place of work say they are proud to help

preserve it for the future. Let's get a recap of the national

and regional headlines. The Government refuses to say

whether the last test of the Trident missile system went wrong. Labour

says it is a cover-up. The teenager killed

by a dangerous driver - tonight there are calls for tougher

sentences after the driver Tomorrow's weather -

Mist and fog patches Most places brightening up

later with sunny spells. Cold again with highs

around 4C (39F). The subject of tougher sentences the

dangerous driving. Nigel says there is no need for the offence of

causing death by dangerous driving. It is manslaughter and defendants

should be judged as such. Helen says a driver over taking in thick fog

should be banned for life. Stephen says I've moved to Lincoln 80s ago

and your roads are not the best but the best is driving -- the driving

is reckless. And, just briefly, Mary says, it doesn't matter what

lifestyle that driver has, nobody in their right mind should overtake in

the fog. Thank you for your responses.

And thank you for watching all our stories. Have a nice evening. - out.

To break someone physically... Agh! ..is not a problem.
