Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.

A family's anger as their father, who has dementia is moved to four

While we can never prove it, we honestly believe that the moves

that he had to undergo affected him and made his condition worse.

Sinking the road and building new bridges -

plans for major work on one of Hull's busiest

The idea is to speed the road from terrorists. Many believe they will

the road up for more terrorists. -- for motorists.

Temperatures are recovering but it is still cold. I'll be back later in

the programme with more details. A family from East Yorkshire

are calling for major changes in the way care for the elderly

is funded after their father who had dementia had to move care homes four

times in the last year of his life. Pat Maguire from Beverley

says his father in law's condition worsened significantly

because of the moves. A number of privately run

residential homes in the area have closed in the last year and now

Mr Maguire says adult social care should be nationalised and funded

directly from Government. More from our political

reporter Sarah Sanderson. Pat Maguire has spoken out

after he and his family chose to find residential care in Beverley

in East Yorkshire for his But because of issues surrounding

closures and suitability, his father-in-law had to be moved

four times after initially settling While we can never prove it,

we honestly believe that the moves that he had to undergo affected him

and made his condition worse. Yes, they give money

to local authorities but it's the Government,

through taxation, that ought to be caring, just as we expect them

to do for small children, the young, we ought to be providing

the same level of care Funding issues have been blamed

for a number of care homes And earlier this month,

Jeremy Corbyn said a Labour Government would take failing

private care homes into public ownership in order to maintain

social care protection. But the Conservative MP

for Beverley and Holderness says The Government's absolutely

committed to getting this right. If you look on the ground

in Beverley, despite the current problems, in the next few weeks

we're going to see new places coming forward and over the next years

I expect to see a much improved situation and the Government

is playing its part in doing that. In a statement, the Department

of Health says... that it recognises

the pressures of an ageing population, which is why it

announced nearly ?900 million of additional funding for adult

social care over the next two years. It adds that the Prime Minister has

made clear that this is not just about money and that they're working

to find a long-term solution which helps councils learn from each

other to raise standards. Meanwhile, for those who are dealing

with and adult social care problems, that long-term solution can't

come soon enough. -- current adult

social care problems. I'll be asking for your views and

comments in just a moment. Earlier I spoke to the Conservative

MP for Beverley and Holderness, Graham Stuart and I asked him

if it was acceptable for this gentleman to live in five

care homes in a year. Well, I don't think anyone

would like to see an elderly relative go through that and it's

not good and it wouldn't Some councils are having to increase

council tax by almost 5%. Is it fair to make the taxpayer foot

the bill to deal with this adult social care crisis,

which the Government must have Well, the taxpayer

does pick up the bill. I'm talking about increasing council

tax, some people paying up to 5%. Some taxpayers have

got to pay for it. The Government is putting in another

900 million over the next two years. There's the change, as you rightly

say, to the social care That will bring in 200 million extra

this year, 400 million next year. We've lost five care homes

in just the last year Something needs to be done now

to stop the water leaving the dam. Well, I think some care homes,

if they're no longer fit for purpose, if they're too

expensive to run, We've seen Westwood Park

close, and Keldgate Manor In the next few weeks,

we are going to have 70 places opening at Claremont

House in Beverley. Parklands is going to be coming

forward, another 79 places, and Keldgate Manor will be opening

on a larger scale. So actually, if you just take

the town of Beverley, we are losing places

which were rather older and we're going to get

state-of-the-art, modern care homes. The Local Government Association say

reductions in funding for social care have increased the pressure

and the financial burden on the NHS. That's the Local

Government Association. They represent local government and,

as we know, the LGA will always bang the drum for additional funding

and support for local authorities. We have an ageing population,

we have a vast deficit, as you know. And just briefly, Labour have

suggested that adult social care Well, that's Jeremy

Corbyn, isn't it? Just as they did in the 70s,

nationalising failing industries instead of allowing them to be

closed and reformed, instead of having what we have

today, a transformed Failing care homes being

nationalised, kept in aspic, we wouldn't get the investment,

we wouldn't have the highest standards, we wouldn't

have the innovation and improvements I think, as ever with Jeremy Corbyn,

it's not just unpopular, We could talk about

this for a long time. Is very emotive subject. I know you

will have a view on this. What is your experience of adult social care

locally? What do you think about Jeremy Corbyn's idea to nationalise

it? Here's how to get in touch... And there will be coverage

about care on this Guests include the Hull North MP

Diana Johnson and Cleethorpes Plans to improve one of Hull's

busiest roads will mean less traffic and new bridges -

but it will be between five and seven years

before the road is ready. The designs for the A63 which went

on display to the public today, could also lead to more flooding

on the road - but those behind them say they're putting measures

in place to deal with that. Laura Foster has been

looking at the plans What exactly do they

want to do there? Well, they want to change the layout

to speed it up for motorists. It might not look like there is a big

problem at the moment but you ring rush over, it can be busy. It is

because of the traffic lights that lines as part of the writ. Today,

they have unveiled at these plans and released this video. It starts

at the flyover and what they are looking at doing is widening the

road, getting rid of the traffic lights and pedestrian crossings.

They will change the junction. The roundabout will disappear and

traffic will pass over the top. A63 traffic will pass underneath. They

are also looking to build a bridge over the key. People at the

exhibition today wanted to tell us what they thought of the plans.

At the end of the day, there's going to be a long-term benefit.

I think people would prefer that things were happening a lot more

quickly than what they are going to be.

I don't think it's the right solution.

It's all alluvial ground that's been built up with peat

and soil and river debris, so it will probably float.

What have lorry drivers and other people who use the road regularly

We have spoken to several lorry drivers and taxi drivers and

hollowed funds # Firms. They say that they are in

favour of what is being done today but that not enough is being done.

They don't just stop when they are in a robbery that go beyond towards

the docks. The fear is that they don't... It will create more

traffic. There are also concerns about the gate junction. The plans

to change that. That is just likely. The roundabout will do is appear and

they will sink the A63. Doing that so close to the Humber worries

people. Because the design is sinking

the road seven metres, ground conditions, we have spent

an awful lot of time with the contracters, carrying out very

detailed ground investigations and The consultation on these plans runs

for another two weeks But it'll be about two years before

you'll see any work being done here. It will be at least five before

anything is finished. Investigators are examining

whether a fire at a semi-demolished Firefighters were sent

to the Grand Central building on the seafront during the early

hours of this morning. Crews were here from around

about half three, four They have managed to extinguish most

the fire but that but the problem The plan of action at the moment

is to cordon off, keep the public away from the building,

safe, and we can carry on the damping down process

which we'll probably continue Culling of almost 20,000 turkeys has

begun on a farm in Lincolnshire after bird flu was confirmed

by Government officials. The farm close to Frithville

near Boston has had a 3km exclusion It's the third farm in the county

to deal with a bird flu outbreak Defra are investigating

the cause of the latest case. A dog rescued from a designer puppy

farm has given birth to four puppies Ruby, who's a Chihuahua cross,

was kept in squalid conditions with no health check-ups,

with 48 other dogs for breeding. RSPCA officers think

she may have given birth Designer cross-breeds can earn

criminals up to ?300 a time. Healthy and friendly, these puppies

were saved from a poor start in life. Their mum was rescued from a

puppy factory. If they had been born there, they would have had no

objects and the bridges would have seen them as breeding machines.

People get them to make money. They come here and say they've got a

various different kinds of drugs. They are marketed as being something

fabulous. -- they've got various kinds of dogs. Most of the time, you

are getting a dog that has never been health checked, worms, seen a

vet. When you do see it with a vet, the vet says that there are all

sorts of problems. Some of these puppies can fetch around ?300. That

is the problem with puppy farms. The kennel club estimates that 1.5

million copies were sold in 2040. Nearly half the people that bought a

puppy that you do not see it with its mother. Those but on the

intranet or pet shops are four times more likely to suffer from the

potentially fatal disease parvovirus. Puppy farming is enabled

by the third party that is seeing the puppy. The majority of the

people are a little and licensed. As long as the chain continues, puppy

farming is enabled and it can only get worse. These dogs now on all

have homes to go to and have been fully health checks. Those that buy

puppies off a seller on the Internet to take the risk that it has come

from a puppy farm like these ones. A good message for us. Thank you for

I wonder if he will be sure on Monday!

Doubtful, I think he has a training course. The good news is that it

will not be as cold. That is the weekend as well as next week. The

payoff is that there is a lot more cloud around producing rain.

some. The crew of the new Skegness

lifeboat say its like swapping The Shannon-class lifeboat

will arrive at her new home But before they began

the journey to Lincolnshire, Phillip Norton joined the crew

on the south coast as they trained on their new vessel

for this special report. It is nine o'clock in the morning

at the RNLI headquarters in Poole. Amid thick fog, the Skegness

lifeboat crew are heading out We're going to come out,

outside the harbour area and we will do some routine

exercises, some drills. While visibility is down to a few

metres, Will has a new piece of kit Anyone of us can link

into the radar page. Rather than having one set

of eyes on, we can have as many as what is needed

on the raider itself. This Shannon-class lifeboat

will replace the Mersey-class lifeboat which has been based

in Skegness since 1990. This is the survivor's cabin. It

takes six people. It is much more comfortable and secure than the

previous one. It has been paid for thanks

to a ?1.5 million donation from former crewman,

the late Joel Grunnill It can achieve 25 knots out

on the sea as opposed to 15 knots. It has an increased range,

an extra 70 miles on rescues and is much quicker and easier

to launch from the station. We're lucky to have her. She is

driven by two jets, whereas the previous was driven by two

propellers. She behaved differently. As you would expect.

As we head further out, there is a problem.

It is a training scenario but time to put well

We are using the equipment, training on here as much

With faster jet-propulsioned engines rather than propellers,

even the crew seats have suspension, it is a far cry from the hours

of rowing many Grunnills and other lifeboatmen

It is like going from a Ford Escort to a Ferrari.

Joel was always proud that he had a photograph when he was three,

stood with a collecting box collecting money for the lifeboats

and he has been doing it even now he's passed on.

Today the Joel and April Grunnill is continuing her journey up

She will arrive at her new home in Skegness tomorrow.

This is a remarkable show. Not only was it on the front line of the

Great War for four years. It tells you very much the story of fishermen

and people from Hull. For the men from Hull and families.

One was George William Tharratt, skipper of the Viola from 1912.

His son Eric and granddaughter Pat have only recently found out

about George's connection with the ship.

But have become the first to donate to the campaign to bring her home.

That trial of being born in Beverly and sailing from Hull, it's a great

care, one viewer says that it should be out of the hands of private

profit. Margaret says that she is disgusted at the constant claim on

the elderly population. The Government required to take the tax

from ours during our working life. Obviously no preparation for the

elderly care. Another viewer says that it is absolutely right to

nationalise the care of the elderly, take out the profit element. Have a
