:01:13. > :01:15.to a Royal visit today, just six weeks into its City
:01:16. > :01:17.of Culture celebrations. The Prince of Wales and the Duchess
:01:18. > :01:20.of Cornwall arrived just before lunchtime, to be greeted by hundreds
:01:21. > :01:23.of well-wishers in the City Centre. Among the people they met
:01:24. > :01:33.were charity workers, Their first stop was outside Ferens
:01:34. > :01:41.Art Gallery. Our report Kate Sweeting has been

:02:16. > :02:16.report contains flash photography. My report contains
:02:17. > :02:21.flash photography. It wasn't the best weather
:02:22. > :02:23.for a Royal visit that once the motorcade had arrived no one
:02:24. > :02:25.seemed to mind The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall
:02:26. > :02:29.to the time to thank the I was gobsmacked,
:02:30. > :02:39.she was really lovely. It might be a cold,
:02:40. > :02:44.wet day, but that has not discouraged hundreds
:02:45. > :02:46.of people took coming This is the only engagement
:02:47. > :02:57.they will carry out today together. They will first call
:02:58. > :02:59.in and inspect the ?5.2 million refurbishment of the
:03:00. > :03:01.Ferens Art Gallery before going on Once inside they took
:03:02. > :03:04.a closer look at the exhibits and met potential
:03:05. > :03:06.artists of the future. Next for Prince Charles
:03:07. > :03:08.it was a visit to Holy Trinity Church,
:03:09. > :03:11.soon to be renamed Hull Minster. There he saw some of the ?4
:03:12. > :03:14.million regeneration spot of crocheting
:03:15. > :03:16.without great success. For the Duchess it was a visit
:03:17. > :03:27.to homelessness charity She even bought a teapot for
:03:28. > :03:32.the cause and met those who had been She was asking me what
:03:33. > :03:38.was the reason I came to Emmaus and what did
:03:39. > :03:40.I think of the place? And generally just
:03:41. > :03:45.asked me about myself. The final stop on the Duchess'
:03:46. > :03:47.visit was The Deep. There she presented prizes to five
:03:48. > :03:50.young writers on behalf of the First Story charity, of
:03:51. > :03:52.which she is patron. She told to keep on writing
:03:53. > :03:55.and to never give up. I was nervous about reading
:03:56. > :03:57.it and nervous about I don't do crowds in the first place
:03:58. > :04:03.so just being in front The final billing of the day
:04:04. > :04:13.for Prince Charles was a visit to Hull Truck Theatre where

:04:20. > :04:26.time to thank a few more well-wishers before
:04:27. > :04:29.the visit ended but it will be
:04:30. > :04:41.a memorable day for all those The play is about rebellion against
:04:42. > :04:44.Charles the first and it will be interesting to hear what he thought
:04:45. > :04:50.about that. The organisers hope the visit deal will encourage people
:04:51. > :04:52.from all backgrounds to come and visit Hull.
:04:53. > :04:55.We'd love to hear from you if you were in Hull this
:04:56. > :04:58.If you saw Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall
:04:59. > :05:01.or if you spoke with them, what did you think of them.
:05:02. > :05:07.Are you pleased they've been to your city?
:05:08. > :05:25.We will have some more royal pictures before the programme is
:05:26. > :05:26.finished. In a moment: The chalet owners
:05:27. > :05:28.worried about the future as their council talks
:05:29. > :05:35.behind closed doors. The new Chief Constable
:05:36. > :05:37.of Lincolnshire says he's 'reasonably optimistic'
:05:38. > :05:42.about the future of the force. Bill Skelly, who was previously
:05:43. > :05:46.the Deputy Chief Constable of Devon and Cornwall,
:05:47. > :05:49.took over the role last week following
:05:50. > :05:51.the retirement of Neil Rhodes. Mr Skelly says there
:05:52. > :05:53.are still challenges surrounding finance but says
:05:54. > :05:56.the service is sustainable. He's been speaking to our
:05:57. > :05:58.reporter Jake Zuckerman. Lincolnshire's new chief
:05:59. > :06:00.constable is getting to know Bill Skelly takes over at a time
:06:01. > :06:05.when the force faces challenges on many fronts.
:06:06. > :06:11.Next Friday I will be meeting with some of our farming community
:06:12. > :06:15.to talk about issues such as hare coursing and the things which really
:06:16. > :06:18.affect them in terms of anti-social Will we see more arrests,
:06:19. > :06:23.more convictions for I'm very keen to listen
:06:24. > :06:32.to and understand the problem before I really commit to where we need
:06:33. > :06:35.to put the resources. It may not be necessarily clear
:06:36. > :06:37.at the outset, for me, as to where the best effect of that
:06:38. > :06:40.resource could be. How will you get more money out
:06:41. > :06:43.of central Government? Two big things we want to see
:06:44. > :06:46.in the new arrangements that have not featured too much in the past
:06:47. > :06:51.are rurality, the sparse geography area that we have to cover
:06:52. > :06:55.and seasonal population increases. I'm optimistic this time around
:06:56. > :07:03.those two arguments, of rurality and seasonal increases
:07:04. > :07:05.in population, Whether or not they will actually
:07:06. > :07:09.translate into increased funding, that is my challenge over
:07:10. > :07:11.the next three months. Boston has been described
:07:12. > :07:13.as England's most segregated town. You have been there,
:07:14. > :07:16.you have seen it for yourself. How are you going to deal
:07:17. > :07:18.with the tensions that that I've also heard Boston described
:07:19. > :07:27.as a vibrant and multicultural town. I understand that have been historic
:07:28. > :07:30.tensions and it is my role to work with communities and with local
:07:31. > :07:33.authorities and partner agencies to intervene where we can
:07:34. > :07:35.to reduce those tensions. It may be early days
:07:36. > :07:37.but the Chief Constable says he is optimistic about the outlook
:07:38. > :07:40.for policing in the county. Jake Zuckerman, BBC
:07:41. > :08:03.Look North, Nettleham. We wish all the best with his as
:08:04. > :08:07.Chief Constable. What is the one area you think they should tackle as
:08:08. > :08:08.a matter of urgency? That is a reminder of the e-mail address and

:09:59. > :10:03.it to it. They say in doing so you are a danger to yourself but also
:10:04. > :10:08.other road users. That is very much the warning from police tonight and

:14:01. > :14:04.and environmental benefits of all the offers. We believe the preferred
:14:05. > :14:09.bidder we have chosen represents the best deal for the council and the
:14:10. > :14:13.people of North Lincolnshire. We hope the council recognised that
:14:14. > :14:17.best value for this site is not necessarily the biggest number on a
:14:18. > :14:22.spreadsheet that also includes what is best for the tourism economy of
:14:23. > :14:26.Cleethorpes and for the tourists and the unique environment here. The
:14:27. > :14:37.special meeting of the council begins in the next half hour. There

:15:53. > :15:56.pretty grave for the next 24 hours and there will be a keen easterly

:16:11. > :16:15.covering of snow in places over the next few days it will not amount to
:16:16. > :16:19.much at all. Next week we will be back to the south-westerly 's. It
:16:20. > :16:22.does not look as if it will last that long. You can see what is
:16:23. > :16:26.happening on the satellite picture. A massive extent of cloud. That will
:16:27. > :16:32.be the way of it for the next few days. For this evening and overnight
:16:33. > :16:37.that flowed thick enough at times for a few scattered showers, mainly
:16:38. > :16:42.of rain at first but increasingly perhaps of some sleet and snow. A

:16:57. > :17:03.patches on untreated surfaces. It looks fairly uneventful tomorrow but
:17:04. > :17:08.there will be a scattering of sleet and snow showers in places. A lot of
:17:09. > :17:10.cloud and some brighter spells. It will feel cold as the easterly
:17:11. > :17:17.breeze picks up during the second half of the day. The top afternoon
:17:18. > :17:25.temperatures will average around three which is below the average of
:17:26. > :17:30.seven. Perhaps as sleet and snow showers are more frequent through
:17:31. > :17:33.Friday, the weekend looks cloudy and those showers will return to rain
:17:34. > :17:42.and sleet. Slightly less cold by then. If you carry on being that
:17:43. > :17:47.cheeky you will get a Scandinavian bloc, whatever that is. Have a nice
:17:48. > :17:51.evening. A charity dog training centre
:17:52. > :17:58.in East Yorkshire says it's in desperate need of more

:18:15. > :18:23.a much-loved family pet, but for Jo, who lost her hearing four years ago,
:18:24. > :18:25.he's also given her Joey is a hearing dog,
:18:26. > :18:29.alerting her to sounds like the doorbell and fire alarms,
:18:30. > :18:32.and also helping others From our point of view,
:18:33. > :18:38.with the family, it was not only But it was actually learning how
:18:39. > :18:47.he interacts with me. What does it mean to have a dog
:18:48. > :18:50.like Joey for you and the family? A hearing dog makes a huge
:18:51. > :18:57.difference, no matter what. But when it comes to giving

:19:01. > :19:08.at the Hearing Dogs for the Deaf centre near Bielby
:19:09. > :19:10.in East Yorkshire. But the charity says
:19:11. > :19:13.they're in desperate need of volunteers, like Karen,
:19:14. > :19:16.who's a puppy socialiser. I really enjoy having
:19:17. > :19:19.a dog in my life. And just the joy of
:19:20. > :19:29.watching them learn. What I do just means that the supply
:19:30. > :19:32.of dogs is constant. The charity couldn't function in any
:19:33. > :19:34.way without our volunteers. Deafness is on the rise
:19:35. > :19:39.and there is always more people in need of a hearing dog
:19:40. > :19:41.and so we need more volunteers to help us,
:19:42. > :19:44.to help dogs on their journey, Over the coming months the team
:19:45. > :19:48.here will hold special open days It's hoped it'll mean
:19:49. > :19:51.more people like Jo can benefit from a hearing dog,
