03/04/2017 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.

The headlines in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire this Monday night...

Online abuse aimed at travellers and gypsies will not be tolerated,

says Humberside's Police and Crime Commissioner.

It is like they are the last community around in the country

where people feel they can say this kind of thing with immunity. They

are not going to get immunity. A man's sent to prison

after a cash machine was ripped It is quite scary to sink something

like that would happen here. -- think.

Extra money for East Coast resorts to try and attract

The best part of ?4 million will be invested in Hornsea for improving

facilities for road users and bringing more visitors to the south

end of the seafront. Weekend warriors -

Hull City are just a point More than just a bridge -

the new music to soundtrack We have seen some lovely weather

across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire today. We'll seems like

this stay with us? A full forecast shortly. -- will scenarios like

this. The Humberside Police

and Crime Commissioner is warning people they will be prosecuted

for extreme comments they make on social media

about gypsies and travellers. Keith Hunter says many people

are committing hate crimes and the force will target hose

who post threatening comments Our correspondent

Vicky Johnson has more. They are often portrayed in the

media as unwelcome visitors. And when travellers recently pitched up

near Hull the younger of some locals erupted on social media. Many posted

from calling travellers of vermin to from calling travellers of vermin to

threats to harm them. People have been writing things in encouraging

people to burn out these caravans with women and children inside. If

people threatened to burn down churches, synagogues and mosques,

people would rightly crying out that it was not acceptable. But with

Gypsies and travellers it is like they are the last community where

people feel they can say that kind of thing with immunity. They will

not get immunity. This is one of the trailers that I live in with my

family. This woman is a Romany gypsy who tries to build bridges with the

settled community in Lincolnshire but she says online abuse is very

damaging. It makes me feel fearful for my children, my grandchildren.

It makes me feel separate from the rest of the community. Just very

painful in general. It is very debilitating for young people, most

of whom are online, reading comments like that. There have been

complaints right across the area from Grimsby to ghoul about the mess

left by some travellers and gypsies. What the Ross on permanent sides

there are no specific stopover places in Hull, Northern

Lincolnshire or East Yorkshire. The council have failed in their

obligation to make site provision. So families do not have an option

about where they live and where they are camping. Every community has

individuals you might call bad apples. For the harbour-side police

and Crime Commissioner, enough is enough. We must draw a line in the

sand and say it is not acceptable for anybody to use threatening and

abusive language. Police are warning anybody found posting hate filled

comments about gypsies and travellers could now face

prosecution. Helen Jones is from the Leeds Gypsy

and Traveller Exchange. I asked her if it's

depressing that the Police and Crime Commissioner has had

to speak out in this way. Also the fact it has

taken lobbying by gypsy traveller advocates to get him

to the position where he recognises I welcome the commissioner's

response but hope he and others will be more

proactive in future, without relying upon advocates

to bring the matter to Why do you feel some people think

they can make offensive and unacceptable remarks about

travellers where they would not do And unfortunately they are not

pulled up for doing it. If something comes out

of the statement, if that leads to people being brought up short

for their actions we might see

some progress on this issue and might see some

of these tired, painful stereotypes

stop being repeated. Well, as you know,

I'm not from the gypsy traveller community myself

and actually I often feel I am glad I am not and I'm glad I am employed

to be I'm glad I am put forward

and can be there to challenge these things,

because I don't see why it should be that people who are victims of crime

have to be the only people that There is clearly something

of a breakdown somewhere between the traveller community

and some other people. One of the ways is

by interrupting hate crime and being very clear

about what hate crime is. The other side is just having

more situations where people can get to know each other

and get past these tired stereotype. I'm sorry to say it again

but there is good and bad in all walks of life and we have

to get past that. Just briefly, some

of these messages even I don't want to read out, which have

been posted on social media, What do you say to people

who make these comments? Get a life, find

something better to do with yourself, make a positive

contribution to the world Helen Jones, thank you very much,

nice talking to you tonight. A 22-year-old man has been

jailed for four years The ATM was ripped from the wall

of the Spa shop in Thorngumbald Targeted by thieves in February -

the cash point at this shop in Thorngumbold,

stolen in a ram raid. But today, as the gang behind

it is still to be arrested, 22-year-old Lewis Holdstock

from Southcoates Lane in Hull pleaded guilty to stealing a JCB

from a local farm and using it It was very distressing

because a lot of people relied on the ATM,

especially older people. There is nothing in the village

for them to get any money and upset everybody in the village,

as well. In conclusion the judge said the man

was probably not the brains behind the operation but had

nonetheless taken part in a well-planned, audacious

and sophisticated crime. He sentenced him to four

years in prison and said he would spend at least half that

time behind bars and the rest Thieves failed to escape

with the ?38,000 worth of cash in the machine,

but they caused ?68,000 worth I went to the chemist

and they said, have you seen I had seen several similar

sorts of villages, maybe a bit larger than this,

having the same thing happen. Eight cash machines have been taken

in this area in the last In a statement the

police have said... Meanwhile the shop here is waiting

to return to normal, with repairs Shortlisting has started to find

the new Chief Constable The position, which commands

a salary of up to ?160,000, became available after Justine Curran stood

down in February. Interviews will take

place later this month. Nottinghamshire police say more

than 100 officers are continuing to search for a mother and her two

sons, who have been Officers believe Samantha Baldwin

has abducted her two boys nine-year-old Louis and six-year-old

Dylan. These CCTV images were taken just

a few days before they disappeared, police say the 40 year-old may have

since changed appearances. The family have links

to Lincolnshire. Police across the region have seen

a rise in reports of children meeting paedophiles,

according to figures There were 93 reports last

year to police forces across the Yorkshire and Humber

region, more than double In Lincolnshire there were 50

incidents over the last five years. If you have young children there

will be much interest in that story. We will have more on that on Look

North at half past ten. More than ?10 million of money

will be invested in seaside Hornsea and Cleethorpes

are the biggest winners, Our reporter Amanda White is live

in Hornsea for us tonight. It is being shared out from here in

Hornsea writes down to Cleethorpes, mainly on tourism projects. For

example, in the fruit market, ?700,000 to turn it into a 3-storey

state of the art arts venue. And the Yorkshire wildlife trust, focusing

on conservation, education, at the new visitor centre and this coastal

community money is hotly contested and the fact there is so much of it

coming right to our doorstep is being celebrated. The beach might be

the main attraction at the close but today people want more. Almost ?10

million of government money will help provide it. The vision is to

create a new area and new tourism area for people to come and visit.

We can make sure this area is regenerated. People want to come and

visit, have a look and they had the opportunity to enjoy all the things

Cleethorpes has the offer. Great to be in Hornsea today with local

leaders and join in a celebration about what will be more improvement

on an already marvellous town. The money is being shared out along our

coast. Hornsey will get almost ?4 million to renovate the seafront.

Just over 1 million will be spent on projects including creating natural

habitat near the wetlands. Cleethorpes will also get a cash

boost of almost ?4 million to improve public spaces. Businesses in

Cleethorpes are keen to know more. We have lot of things like treasure

Island, recently. This is something the whole community can get involved

with in bringing people to the town. There are certain areas we would

love to smarten up and we hope it will attract people more to

Cleethorpes. Some places have been abandoned for years and had not had

any investment. It is interesting with the investment has come from.

Any more that is put into the front and further along up to the boat

club would be fantastic. In Hornsea a cafe and education centre will be

developed alongside a better boat yard. Although fishermen will come

the improved facilities they are also concerned. It will bring more

public into dangerous areas because we have tractors, boats and trailers

crossing the road and coming from the beach. The idea of fishermen

coming down to the south end was to get them away from the public. But

this is not taking them away. This is increasing the public around the

fishermen. Sooner or later there will be an accident. Increasing

visitor numbers is the main driver behind the projects winning funding

today. Now the money is here it is the finer detail that needs to be

resolved. This is the road the fishermen have

the cross. We can see there are genuine safety concerns yet to be

addressed. And likewise at the other area there is concern at the visitor

centre which still needs to be ironed out. But there is cause for

celebration today. Just one project in Cleethorpes promises a unique

venue, right on the seafront, thanks to one of the projects funded today.

Amanda, thank you very much. We want to hear from

you on this story. What difference do you think this

money will make to the East Coast? What more do we need to do

to improve our seaside towns? The lion's share of the money going

to Hornsey and Cleethorpes. What do they need and what would you spend

the money on? It is a lot of money, as well. What can we do to attract

people to the resorts and keep them alive? What would you like to see it

spent on hand to get visitors all year around? The addresses... The

text number... And follow me on Twitter... ?10 million for the East

Coast resorts. How would you like to see the money spent? What do you

think it should be spent on? We look forward to hearing from you.

Still ahead tonight: Hull City move a step closer

I'm at Sincil Bank - as Lincoln City continue their push

for promotion to the Football League.

The Opera North composition reaching both sides of the Humber.

That is a fascinating story, the sounds of the bridge. Do not miss

that in about ten minutes. Now the weather is better. This was taken by

Danny and it is of Gainsborough. Dani, thank you. Another picture

tomorrow night at around about the same time. Send them to us. Paul and

Keely are both not here. It is an early Easter treat because Owen is

here the weather. I should have maybe dressed up as something a bit

more Easter like, like an Easter bunny. A bit early? With anybody

else we would laugh and think it was a joke but with you it could

possibly be true! I guess so, yes. I think Paul has an Easter bunny

outfit. Maybe I will ask to borrow it! Across East Yorkshire and

Lincolnshire it has been quite lovely house there. Lovely blue sky.

This will change. We are switching gears to night, because this is

coming from the West. This weather front is slowly coming across

eastern parts. I do not want to play it up too much because the rain is

quite light and patchy. It will be quite mild as well have around 10

Celsius. Low temperatures tonight but breezy and time. High waters,

Hull at 12.40. Rising tomorrow morning at 6.20 seven. As the

weather feature is quite lethargic it does not want to leave ours but

it will gradually go, despite being laid-back. A bit of rain continuing

in part of Lincolnshire, for example. Brighter further north with

some sunny spells developing as the clouds are breaking up. Feeling

cooler than today, especially in southern and eastern areas, where we

hang onto that cloud but are still getting to around 12 or 13 Celsius

with a northerly or north-westerly breeze. The week ahead very

quickly... We have this area of high pressure. We like high pressure

because it does keep the weather settled and dry much of the time.

Keeping the weather fronts away and a low pressure. We will take it.

That will stay on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and possibly

beyond. So that means the picture we are painting is mostly settled and

dry, as well. Feeling relatively mild, not as warm as perhaps today,

we are seeing textures into the middle scenes but you can see on the

outlook it is not a bad one. I think we will take it, because we will see

a bit of sunshine in the mix, as well. We like high pressure, do we?

We really do, yes. That is what I get from you, so inaccurate and so

well turned out. The rest of us here looks so scruffy next to you. Bless

you, not at all! We look forward to the bunny outfit!

Lincoln City could take a big step towards promotion back

The Imps play Dagenham and Redbridge at Sincil Bank and if they win

they could move three points clear of second placed Tranmere.

Well, it isn't going to be an easy game for Lincoln,

but the team are still top of the National League

following Saturday's win against Bromley.

Substitute Billy Knott scoring the only goal of the game

But with just a few weeks of the season to go,

it can be a nervy time for some fans...

And manager Danny Cowley has asked supporters to "enjoy it".

He says, "don't wish it away or pray for the end.

"Life is for living. Keep believing".

Well, a short while ago I spoke to John Vickers from the club...

Every game is a tough game at this stage in the season. Maybe more so

because Dagenham are there as well so they are looking for three points

to keep themselves in the mix. They are not out of it at all. Our form

at home is second to none. Confidence is high. We have not been

beaten here. In time. A big night here but also important for some

other local side. Let's look at the highlights of the weekend action.

Hull City claimed a priceless win on Saturday.

But it was West Ham that opened the scoring in the first half.

Before a second-half fightback saw goals from Andrew Robertson

and then this late winner from Italian defender

Andrew Ranocchia, as he headed home in the 85th minute

to secure a 2-1 win at the KCOM Stadium.

The Tigers' hopes of staying up in the Premier League -

From a first half performance we probably would've

took a point if I'm being honest.

Then we can see it changing and the fans getting behind us.

You start believing we have got the three points.

We show again with our fans we are strong.

Very good, because we start to lose and after

I think really we deserve this result.

Not such a good day though for Scunthorpe United.

An early penalty put fellow promotion hopefuls

The Iron tried to get back into the game,

but the hosts extended their lead with two further goals.

Before Scunthorpe's Matt Crooks finally pulled a goal back in added

time, but it wasn't enough - the game ending 3-1.

The Mariners opened the scoring at home in League Two

before Doncaster Rovers equalised - and then goals kept on coming.

5-1 was the final score, putting Doncaster within touching

Our local rugby teams were also in action at the weekend.

You can see highlights of Hull FC's draw with Warrington Wolves

on tonight's Super League Show on BBC One at 11.45pm.

Meanwhile, Hull Kingston Rovers remain unbeaten this season

in Rugby League's Championship, after beating Batley

Well, here at Sincil Bank it's less than an hour to kick off -

and fans are just starting to arrive.

They're expecting around 7,000 here and of course you can listen

to commentary of the game on BBC Radio Lincolnshire,

with build-up starting from 7 o'clock.

STUDIO: Thank you very much. A big game for Lincoln tonight. We wish

them well. The result in the late bulletin and full coverage this

evening on radio Lincolnshire. Something very different started

this weekend on The Humber Bridge. It's a piece of art by the opera

company Opera North, who have recorded music and combined

it with the creaks and hums of the bridge itself to make

a special soundtrack to go Our culture correspondent

Anne-Marie Tasker explains. Many of us will have driven

across the Humber bridge, but Opera North have turned

the crossing into a unique Using digital headphones,

on their speed and the weather. Really honoured, actually,

Looking forward to hearing about. Well done, Anne-Marie, and her

colleagues, going to the top of the bridge, filming that. We talked

about the celebration of the city of culture on Friday night. A lot of

messages over the weekend almost unanimously saying how much they

loved the first three months of the city of culture. Keep those coming.

Plenty more to come this year. It is five to seven. A reminder of the

If you have a story you think we should know about, e-mail us and

give us the details. It might be something where we can send a camera

to and put on the programme. E-mail in, usual address. Talking about the

money, around ?10 million for seaside communities in the region

and how it should be spent, there is a big response about this. Most of

the money is going to Hornsey and Cleethorpes. A big response with

strong views on how the money should be spent.

Julie says: "I don't think a visitor hub

Seating would be nice and disabled friendly access to places.

Get rid of amusement arcades, I hate them!"

Diane Barwell says, "It amazes me that the government can find

millions of pounds for such schemes, but cannot find it for

Colin Ross says, "Great to hear Cleethorpes getting

The council need to consult the community to agree

Every time we talk about what should be done on the seaside resorts on

the east coast we get a big response and tonight is no exception.

Dee Anderson says, "Sutton on Sea needs a new up to date promenade,

with all the safety features and some lovely new beach huts

Sutton on C, D Anderson. If it helps to increase visitors, those coming

need to have excellent bladder control, as there will hardly be any

public toilets for them to use! Referring to the toilets in

Cleethorpes. Patricia, how lovely for Hornsey, but what about Skip C?

The coastline is being eroded and nobody cares. What about some good

old-fashioned wooden breakers? They would help and not cost the earth

but give the community a feeling of safety and encourage tourism.

Carroll, when people come to Hornsey to see these changes they also want

restaurants and sandwich, coffee shops and not greasy cafes and fish

shop. You only need to look at these places like shopping centres to know

that. Thank you for all of these. Always a big response when we talk

about what to do with east coast resorts. Thank you. Join me if you

can for the later programme at 10.30. If not, I will see you

tomorrow evening at 6.30. Good night.
