Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.

:00:00.:00:00.

The MP for Lincoln slams the Electoral Commission and insists

:00:00.:00:11.

he's done nothing wrong over expenses.

:00:12.:00:18.

I am alive in Lincoln, where MP Karl McCartney has hit back over the

:00:19.:00:30.

so-called Battle cars controversy. -- battle bus controversy.

:00:31.:00:32.

Health bosses say they definitely want to close Hornsea's

:00:33.:00:35.

minor injuries unit, despite local opposition.

:00:36.:00:38.

I am devastated. This is a ridiculous situation we find

:00:39.:00:44.

ourselves in, no minor injuries unit in Hornsey.

:00:45.:00:45.

15,000 new homes needed for East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire -

:00:46.:00:48.

We are way below target currently. The figures are growing but the

:00:49.:00:57.

market is taking a long, long time to recover.

:00:58.:01:00.

Fears that new flood defences will destroy the view

:01:01.:01:03.

And settled and windy for the next few days to come. -- unsettled. Join

:01:04.:01:15.

me later for the forecast. Lincoln's MP, Karl McCartney,

:01:16.:01:20.

has said he acted "honestly and properly" when it came

:01:21.:01:22.

to his expenses during Mr McCartney issued a statement

the Conservative Party 12 police forces -

:01:31.:01:32.

including Lincolnshire - have asked the Crown Prosecution

battle-bus tour in 2015. More from our political

:01:44.:01:45.

editor, Tim Iredale. The 2015 general election

:01:46.:01:54.

was the closest for many years. The Tories and Labour

:01:55.:01:57.

sent their big hitters to Lincoln, The Conservatives also

:01:58.:01:59.

had a battle-bus tour, where party activists travelled

:02:00.:02:09.

the country to support Today, the organisation

:02:10.:02:11.

which regulates party finances, the Electoral Commission,

:02:12.:02:18.

ruled the Conservatives had failed to declare thousands of pounds

:02:19.:02:22.

they'd spend on the battle-bus tour. At the heart of the controversy

:02:23.:02:25.

is whether expenses for the road trip were declared as part

:02:26.:02:28.

of the national campaign, when they should have been

:02:29.:02:31.

declared by the local party. ?70,000 is the highest fine

:02:32.:02:35.

we have ever issued and that represents offences and

:02:36.:02:39.

contraventions across five different areas, so we have never issued

:02:40.:02:46.

findings to that extent before. In a statement today,

:02:47.:02:48.

Lincoln MP Karl McCartney said... 12 police forces -

:02:49.:03:02.

including Lincolnshire Police - have sent files to the Crown

:03:03.:03:09.

Prosecution Service, which must decide whether charges

:03:10.:03:12.

are to be brought against MPs If prosecutions do go ahead,

:03:13.:03:14.

then it could lead to elections Tim is live in Mr McCartney's

:03:15.:03:19.

Lincoln constituency for us tonight. So what happens next

:03:20.:03:25.

in this investigation? The CPS has until June to decide

:03:26.:03:37.

whether charges are to be brought in connection with this matter.

:03:38.:03:41.

Lincolnshire Police has not formally confirmed who if anyone has been

:03:42.:03:47.

investigated as part of the file it has sent to the CPS but Karl

:03:48.:03:52.

McCartney has said he has cooperated with the police. He was not

:03:53.:03:56.

available for interview today but I did speak to him on the phone just

:03:57.:04:01.

before we came on air and he said that neither he nor his election

:04:02.:04:06.

agent have done anything wrong and he hopes this matter will be

:04:07.:04:11.

resolved as soon as possible. Is there a real possibility of some

:04:12.:04:13.

by-elections in some areas, including Lincoln? If you look at

:04:14.:04:21.

today's papers, some of them, you get the impression we will see

:04:22.:04:26.

dozens of MPs in the dock and a load of by-elections. That is probably

:04:27.:04:31.

the worst case scenario for the Conservative Party. I think most

:04:32.:04:36.

legal experts admit that in most cases the most of the Tories will

:04:37.:04:43.

get is a heavy fine. It is very unusual for by-elections or

:04:44.:04:46.

elections to be rerun in this country. Normally it only happens

:04:47.:04:51.

when MPs have been found guilty of a serious criminal offence and they

:04:52.:04:55.

sent to jail. The matter is in the hands of the CPS and we await

:04:56.:04:57.

further news from them. Health bosses have revealed

:04:58.:05:04.

they definitely want to close Hornsea's minor-injuries unit,

:05:05.:05:06.

despite strong opposition The final decision on the future

:05:07.:05:07.

of urgent-care services in the East Riding will be taken

:05:08.:05:13.

next week, but a report out this afternoon recommends there should be

:05:14.:05:17.

three centres based at Beverley, Protesters from Hornsea say

:05:18.:05:19.

they're going to fight on. Our health correspondent,

:05:20.:05:24.

Vicky Johnson, reports. Protesters trying to keep Hornsea's

:05:25.:05:28.

minor-injuries unit alive. It is really important

:05:29.:05:32.

that we retain the MIU. But it now seems certain that the

:05:33.:05:39.

MIU is in its final death throes. Campaigners are furious. That none

:05:40.:05:56.

of these people live in rural areas. They live close to urgent care

:05:57.:06:06.

centres. The new urgent-care centres

:06:07.:06:09.

at Beverley, Bridlington and Goole would all be open for 16 hours

:06:10.:06:11.

a day, 365 days a year, and would offer a consistent range

:06:12.:06:14.

of advice and treatment, If approved, the three centres

:06:15.:06:17.

would also be supported by low-level minor-injury units at Driffield

:06:18.:06:20.

and Withernsea hospitals, but you According to the plans,

:06:21.:06:23.

Hornsea will have no MIU. We looked at numbers and after

:06:24.:06:34.

breaking them down or we saw that many of them could the treated at

:06:35.:06:46.

home, many of them have wound injuries, so there wasn't the need

:06:47.:06:51.

for an urgent care centre at Hornsey.

:06:52.:07:03.

I complained but it is clear that 90% of local people oppose the

:07:04.:07:08.

plans. Today's report also spells out that

:07:09.:07:10.

community and rehabilitation beds would be based only in Beverley,

:07:11.:07:13.

meaning that current community beds at Bridlington

:07:14.:07:15.

and Withernsea would close. Hospital bosses say extra

:07:16.:07:17.

accommodation will be made available in private residential homes

:07:18.:07:19.

for those who need more They will still get the range of

:07:20.:07:29.

support from most -- nursing teams and therapy support. We want to

:07:30.:07:34.

focus on putting more capacity into therapy teams and rehabilitation so

:07:35.:07:37.

that when people are discharged they could be supported back to their own

:07:38.:07:45.

home. Campaigners promise more protests

:07:46.:07:54.

like this. They say they are prepared to take the fight to Jeremy

:07:55.:07:57.

Hunt if necessary. We want to hear from you on this

:07:58.:08:06.

story, some big changes to where you can use the NHS in East

:08:07.:08:08.

Yorkshire. What do you think

:08:09.:08:11.

about the recommendation that the minor-injury

:08:12.:08:15.

unit closes in Hornsea? We look forward to hearing from you

:08:16.:08:41.

as always. Hull City Council has revealed more

:08:42.:08:46.

details about the two proposed In a report the council say it

:08:47.:08:49.

could invest in a new city-centre ice rink in either Bond Street

:08:50.:08:54.

or Colonial Street The council says the current ice

:08:55.:08:56.

arena, which is 30 years old, is coming to the end

:08:57.:09:00.

of its useful life. The lack of transparency shown

:09:01.:09:06.

by the NHS bosses who run Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Goole hospitals

:09:07.:09:11.

has been criticised by It's emerged that the Trust knew

:09:12.:09:13.

for months about missing patient referrals, but only

:09:14.:09:17.

finally admitted it when they were forced

:09:18.:09:19.

to by a local council. The mistake meant more

:09:20.:09:23.

than a hundred people waiting to see a consultant were never

:09:24.:09:25.

put on waiting lists. I would always expect that

:09:26.:09:31.

if an error has been made that people accept the responsibility

:09:32.:09:35.

of the mistake, own up to it It shouldn't take the trusts

:09:36.:09:39.

being dragged in front of a scrutiny panel with legislation being used

:09:40.:09:49.

to get them there to admit The trust continues to urge people

:09:50.:09:51.

who think they may be There's been lots of interest

:09:52.:09:56.

in this story since we first Thank you for all of your comments

:09:57.:11:01.

and of course we will continue to follow that story.

:11:02.:11:03.

New flood defences along Hull's waterfront need to be more

:11:04.:11:06.

That's the message from residents on one of the city's housing

:11:07.:11:09.

estates, who say the area could be permanently damaged.

:11:10.:11:12.

They're worried that the Environment Agency will only offer the most

:11:13.:11:15.

cost-effective design, which could be a basic wall.

:11:16.:11:18.

Our environment correspondent, Paul Murphy, is on the banks

:11:19.:11:20.

The bottom line is that posh flood defences cost money. These are the

:11:21.:11:44.

defences at Paull, at the luxury end. They are glass so you can see

:11:45.:11:49.

through them, and the theory is that Hull will get miles of concrete

:11:50.:11:54.

defences, which aren't aesthetically pleasing, in a city that is trying

:11:55.:11:59.

to improve its image. Not everybody is happy. Most of the frontages will

:12:00.:12:08.

be bog-standard Environment Agency protection but there are clearly

:12:09.:12:12.

places where there will have to be a bit more money put in and a better

:12:13.:12:18.

provision. I would rather have something that looks nice, without a

:12:19.:12:23.

doubt, but I am pragmatic as well. I know the government keep telling us

:12:24.:12:28.

they have no money so we have to curb. It is like everything in your

:12:29.:12:32.

own life, you have to buy things that you can afford. The Environment

:12:33.:12:37.

Agency have told us tonight that their plans for the Humber defences

:12:38.:12:46.

that came in after the floods in 2013 are still open to consultation,

:12:47.:12:50.

people will be able to view them in a few weeks in Hull. Most people I

:12:51.:12:55.

spoke to have a pragmatic view, they would like is ethically pleasing

:12:56.:12:59.

flood defences but the most important thing obviously for them

:13:00.:13:01.

is to have protection against the sea. -- they would like

:13:02.:13:07.

aesthetically pleasing. The councils missing housing targets

:13:08.:13:15.

- 15,000 extra new homes are needed. The BBC News School Reporters show

:13:16.:13:19.

Kofi how it's done for this week's Keep your pictures coming in. Good

:13:20.:13:43.

evening, young man. I know you have won an award, let me read the

:13:44.:13:50.

citation. Excellence in increasing the understanding of whether among

:13:51.:13:56.

members of the general public. That is your job, isn't it?!

:13:57.:14:07.

It is an award named after the weather presenter on Look East.

:14:08.:14:13.

Shall I increase understanding of meteorology with an accurate

:14:14.:14:18.

forecast? The headline for the next 24 hours is cloudy, a bright start

:14:19.:14:24.

but by the end of the day there may well be outbreaks of rain from the

:14:25.:14:32.

West. Although there will be a number of whether France pushing in

:14:33.:14:44.

-- weather fronts, most of the rain will be to the west of us. We are

:14:45.:14:50.

watching a cold front pushing down from the north-west at the moment.

:14:51.:14:54.

There will be patchy album rakes very shortly. That particular

:14:55.:14:59.

weather front will be fairly weak. -- patchy outbreaks. The lowest

:15:00.:15:09.

temperatures will be, well, if you have shelter from the wind we could

:15:10.:15:21.

have a touch of ground frost. Sun rises at 6:21am. The cloud will

:15:22.:15:30.

streaming through the day, it should stay dry, just a spot of rain. The

:15:31.:15:37.

rain will then jump across the Pennines and give us some patchy

:15:38.:15:41.

rain by the end of the afternoon tomorrow. There will be a gusty,

:15:42.:15:47.

chilly wind, highest temperatures around 9 degrees. That is 48

:15:48.:15:54.

Fahrenheit. Cloudy on Saturday, the risk of rain later on the day.

:15:55.:15:58.

Somewhat brighter on Sunday, still some patchy rain, with mundane

:15:59.:16:05.

looking mostly dry. After taking the Mickey out of

:16:06.:16:10.

Swindon on Monday, we have had e-mails from people all over the

:16:11.:16:12.

country. "I Have lived in Ireland for years

:16:13.:16:19.

and I always watch your programme. Paul should be a scratch golfer with

:16:20.:16:30.

the amount of time he has off." He says there is a lovely course in

:16:31.:16:36.

Delgany. You would be welcome to play. See you tomorrow or whenever.

:16:37.:16:46.

Figures released to BBC Look North show that no councils

:16:47.:16:48.

in East Yorkshire or Lincolnshire have met their targets for building

:16:49.:16:51.

Each local authority sets annual and long-term targets,

:16:52.:16:54.

but figures show that this area is currently short of

:16:55.:16:57.

The UK is facing what some describe as a housing crisis,

:16:58.:17:05.

Samantha and Archie are preparing for a big move, but it's not been

:17:06.:17:12.

easy to find a new home for their growing family.

:17:13.:17:16.

Samantha's husband works away in the Navy, and while they wait

:17:17.:17:19.

for their brand-new house to be finished on the Kingswood Estate

:17:20.:17:22.

in Hull, the family will have to move back in with Samantha's

:17:23.:17:26.

parents, and she says it's not uncommon.

:17:27.:17:28.

Quite a lot of friends are still renting, even my brothers

:17:29.:17:32.

are saving up and living back with the parents so that

:17:33.:17:34.

They have jumped from, like, a two to a three,

:17:35.:17:38.

And people are buying quite a lot on here and they're selling really

:17:39.:17:44.

quickly so it's getting in and finding that property

:17:45.:17:47.

and making sure you get in there first, really.

:17:48.:17:50.

Figures released to BBC Look North show that over the last five years

:17:51.:17:53.

all of our local councils have missed their targets

:17:54.:17:55.

Combined, that figure should be more than 36,000 between 2011 and 2016.

:17:56.:18:02.

But only 21,000 homes were built during that time.

:18:03.:18:06.

The figures are growing and are improving but the market

:18:07.:18:17.

is taking a long, long time to recover.

:18:18.:18:23.

The main challenges there are capacity of the industry

:18:24.:18:25.

to actually brick-lay and create houses.

:18:26.:18:33.

Over the past few decades we haven't been building enough homes

:18:34.:18:35.

because we have been so reliant upon this one particular

:18:36.:18:38.

way of building homes, which actually means that

:18:39.:18:41.

you have a very small number of very big developers who are able

:18:42.:18:44.

to dribble out the number of homes they build at a very small rate.

:18:45.:18:48.

But some planning applications aren't always welcomed

:18:49.:18:50.

In North Ferriby, some residents say the area's being overdeveloped,

:18:51.:18:58.

and plans for 300 to 500 new houses at this site on the edge

:18:59.:19:02.

of the village have met with resistance.

:19:03.:19:04.

It would increase North Ferriby by something like another third.

:19:05.:19:07.

We are doing our bit, all the other villages

:19:08.:19:09.

are doing their bit, but an extra 500 on top of that

:19:10.:19:12.

Samantha and Archie will move into her parents' house next month,

:19:13.:19:19.

and the family will hopefully move into their new home later this year.

:19:20.:19:22.

But like many other people across East Yorkshire

:19:23.:19:30.

and Lincolnshire, buying when not enough are being built

:19:31.:19:32.

Joining me now is Julian Taylor, who's campaigned against

:19:33.:19:39.

a development of 119 houses in South Cave near Hull,

:19:40.:19:41.

which has recently had planning permission turned down

:19:42.:19:43.

In South Cave the developers wanted to build only 119 houses, a quarter

:19:44.:19:57.

affordable. It wouldn't really increase the village by very much.

:19:58.:20:04.

We are not against development and there has already been planning

:20:05.:20:08.

permission given for over 200 houses in South Cave but there are

:20:09.:20:13.

pragmatic reasons for not holding on that land, the most important being

:20:14.:20:19.

that there is a massive flood risk. South Cave has flooded seven times

:20:20.:20:26.

in three years and if you know that area... Do you think it is better

:20:27.:20:34.

that Brownfield sites in Hull and developed, so that you can live in a

:20:35.:20:40.

nice place and other people don't. There are enough Brownfield sites

:20:41.:20:48.

for... What about people who would like to live in a nice place like

:20:49.:20:52.

South Cave? There is planning permission for over 200 houses. The

:20:53.:20:56.

application we talked about in the local plan has already been given

:20:57.:21:02.

permission within South Cave. This was an additional allocation above

:21:03.:21:06.

those numbers. Is this typical NIMBY is? That that word is almost like a

:21:07.:21:16.

bullying tactic. I am wondering if he pull at home art -- people at

:21:17.:21:23.

home thinking, he doesn't want more homes his nice area. I say again,

:21:24.:21:32.

there will be 200 new houses. You don't want 119? There are over 200

:21:33.:21:39.

given permission but it has to be in an area that wouldn't affect the

:21:40.:21:44.

village itself... East Riding Council have set a target of

:21:45.:21:53.

thousands and if people keep knocking bees back they won't meet

:21:54.:21:59.

the target. There has been the allocation for the numbers required

:22:00.:22:02.

in South Cave so we are not against building but it should be

:22:03.:22:05.

inappropriate places that don't affect the village in... There are

:22:06.:22:15.

fields and areas that have already been identified that we are quite

:22:16.:22:18.

comfortable with. You might also want to be

:22:19.:22:21.

in touch on this story. Should we build more

:22:22.:22:23.

on greenfield sites? Hull City's Harry Maguire has been

:22:24.:22:32.

overlooked by England for their forthcoming matches

:22:33.:22:35.

with Germany and Lithuania. The defender had been tipped by head

:22:36.:22:38.

coach Marco Silva to become the club's first-ever player

:22:39.:22:41.

to receive a senior England However, despite his omission,

:22:42.:22:43.

Silva still wants him to maintain his high

:22:44.:22:48.

standards this season. Harry is a young player,

:22:49.:22:58.

need to work hard all the days to improve like he improved the last

:22:59.:23:00.

months, and after we will see, but I'm sure I don't need to say

:23:01.:23:05.

nothing for him because he knows like we work and I know him

and he need to The first poppies have

:23:12.:23:13.

been installed at the The sculpture, called

poppies and commemorate those It will go on display for seven

weeks when completed. There has been a big announcement

:23:22.:23:27.

today about a top name to play at Radio 1's Big Weekend

:23:28.:23:31.

in Hull in May. The next artist who is going to be

:23:32.:23:49.

performing at Radio One's Big Weekend in Hull. Good morning, Katy

:23:50.:23:54.

Perry! This is exciting, you are coming to the Big Weekend. There is

:23:55.:24:07.

a picture of New York on this, but not to be confused with Hull.

:24:08.:24:09.

Katy Perry will join Little Mix and Kings of Leon

:24:10.:24:12.

for the weekend festival, to be held at Burton Constable Hall.

:24:13.:24:14.

More details on how you can win free tickets for the event will be

:24:15.:24:18.

And we will let you know when the tickets are available to grab.

:24:19.:24:27.

On a Thursday we always look at the week ahead

:24:28.:24:29.

This week Kofi doesnt get very far before junior reporters

as part of today's BBC News School Report day.

:24:36.:24:37.

There's just a few weeks left of season one...

:24:38.:24:39.

We can take it from here, mate, you can take a break.

:24:40.:24:43.
