:00:07. > :00:08.Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.

:00:09. > :00:13.People facing eviction from a caravan park lash out

:00:14. > :00:14.at East Riding council, saying they've been

:00:15. > :00:23.It has caused arguments and divisions between people.

:00:24. > :00:25.I do blame this council, very much so indeed.

:00:26. > :00:27.I don't think they've been compassionate in

:00:28. > :00:33.The local authority making hundreds of thousands of pounds with green

:00:34. > :00:42.The school shifting term dates around, partly to help parents

:00:43. > :00:46.I think we should stick to normal holidays and you can get

:00:47. > :00:49.It is harder with childcare and things.

:00:50. > :00:52.We have managed to book a cheaper week away,

:00:53. > :00:57.Yorkshire whisky - farmers here set up a distillery

:00:58. > :01:02.and claim it can rival the traditional Scottish brands.

:01:03. > :01:04.The million-to-one lambs - the sheep that's given

:01:05. > :01:16.Britain is a fine weather on the way and a lovely weekend in prospect

:01:17. > :01:26.joined me for the detailed forecast. Residents facing eviction

:01:27. > :01:29.from a chalet park in East Yorkshire say the council has treated

:01:30. > :01:31.them without compassion. Yesterday, a judge threw out

:01:32. > :01:34.the case against the owner of Lakeminster Park, near Beverley,

:01:35. > :01:37.who had been accused of mis-selling People living on the site have been

:01:38. > :01:44.served an eviction notice by East Riding of Yorkshire Council,

:01:45. > :01:47.but some say they'll David and and Norma Aldcroft now

:01:48. > :01:57.live with half of their Last year, they and all

:01:58. > :02:01.of their neighbours on Lakeminster Park were served with

:02:02. > :02:18.an eviction notice by East Riding We held ground and no one came to

:02:19. > :02:22.the door to tell is to go so we have been in limbo ever since. We have

:02:23. > :02:26.boxes in limbo ever since. We have boxes and most rooms. We are living

:02:27. > :02:26.in hope that better things will happen in the future.

:02:27. > :02:28.Residents here say they bought their properties

:02:29. > :02:31.believing they could live in them all year round, but the council says

:02:32. > :02:34.they've been in breach of planning rules and has ordered

:02:35. > :02:37.Yesterday, the fraud case against the park's owner

:02:38. > :02:38.Wiliam Flannigan, was thrown out of court.

:02:39. > :02:41.Today residents I spoke to lay the blame firmly with East Riding

:02:42. > :03:00.It is very distressing. It has caused arguments and divisions

:03:01. > :03:06.between people. Very upsetting. From us coming in 2010, we have paid

:03:07. > :03:10.council tax, we have had our bins emptied, we have voted. None of

:03:11. > :03:14.those things you do if you live in a holiday home. Why did they not phone

:03:15. > :03:20.us and tell us not to pay council tax because it was a holiday home.

:03:21. > :03:26.There were once more than 70 properties on this site but now

:03:27. > :03:30.there are only 18 households left. Some have sold their property and

:03:31. > :03:35.leave, others are staying to fight the eviction notice. Some want to

:03:36. > :03:38.leave and simply can't because all of their money is tied up in the

:03:39. > :03:40.house and they cannot afford to go anywhere else.

:03:41. > :03:45.And that's the case for David and Norma.

:03:46. > :03:52.We have lost six years for lice and at this stage of lice we can't

:03:53. > :03:58.afford to do that. We still don't know what's going to happen. I blame

:03:59. > :04:03.the council, I don't think they've been compassionate to people in any

:04:04. > :04:04.way. They have harmed people with stress and health and everything

:04:05. > :04:07.else. It is not a happy situation. The couple are now waiting

:04:08. > :04:10.for the outcome of a High Court appeal against the eviction

:04:11. > :04:11.notice in June. After that, they hope they'll be

:04:12. > :04:26.able to sell their property and move The council did not want to put

:04:27. > :04:29.anyone up for interview, but they did send us a statement saying they

:04:30. > :04:33.will continue to offer support to those living on site, with many

:04:34. > :04:41.already taken up offers of accommodation from the council.

:04:42. > :04:43.The council is urging those who have yet to make alternative

:04:44. > :04:45.housing arrangements to do so and the council's housing

:04:46. > :04:48.service can be contacted to discuss their housing need.

:04:49. > :04:50.But as you heard, residents say the authority has been

:04:51. > :04:52.uncompassionate to a group of what are essentially

:04:53. > :04:55.The council is likely to have more questions to answer

:04:56. > :04:58.in the future about its handling of the situatuion.

:04:59. > :05:02.But almost 60 residents continue to blame the site owner

:05:03. > :05:04.William Flannigan for the situation and they are taking him

:05:05. > :05:12.If there are any developments we will continue to follow the story.

:05:13. > :05:14.A company which makes gluten-free food is making 78 staff

:05:15. > :05:18.Genius Foods employs 151 staff in Hull, but only 73 employees

:05:19. > :05:21.will remain after the firm asked staff to take either voluntary

:05:22. > :05:28.The bakery expanded four years ago after being bought by Genius

:05:29. > :05:33.following a multi-million pound takeover deal.

:05:34. > :05:35.Two of Lincolnshire's libraries have employed security guards to help

:05:36. > :05:39.them cope with disruption caused by groups of young people.

:05:40. > :05:42.The council says groups of between 15 and 20 youths have

:05:43. > :05:45.been causing problems at Grimsby Central library

:05:46. > :05:47.and Immingham Library, and that the security staff

:05:48. > :05:56.A council in Lincolnshire says it can no longer afford to subsidise

:05:57. > :06:00.garden waste collections, and that it shouldn't have to,

:06:01. > :06:03.after increasing the amount it charges residents.

:06:04. > :06:06.From this week, people in East Lindsey have to pay ?40 a year

:06:07. > :06:16.The increase has already raised an extra ?300,000,

:06:17. > :06:19.but not everyone is happy about the price hike.

:06:20. > :06:23.In the village of Welton le Marsh, near Alford, earlier

:06:24. > :06:30.Residents here used to pay ?25 a year for this service.

:06:31. > :06:33.But now - those that want it - are charged ?40

:06:34. > :06:42.The Council used to subsidise this service,

:06:43. > :06:45.but now the cost of around ?1 million is paid for by

:06:46. > :06:49.The authority, though, still thinks its value for money,

:06:50. > :06:52.because ?40 a year works out at less than ?2 per collection.

:06:53. > :07:08.Green waste is a service where we are able to reduce the costs and by

:07:09. > :07:13.looking at a cost recovery model. We are allowed to do that. The

:07:14. > :07:20.politicians made a decision and that is how we can progress. The money

:07:21. > :07:25.has to come from somewhere. I think it is quite a high costs, especially

:07:26. > :07:30.when the council tax has gone up as well. We worked out the costs that

:07:31. > :07:42.it was better than us going down to the dump. I don't pay for it because

:07:43. > :07:44.I put it at the bottom of the garden until a rock stone and then I put it

:07:45. > :07:45.around the flower beds. But East Lindsey isn't the most

:07:46. > :07:48.expensive place in East Yorkshire People who want their garden waste

:07:49. > :07:51.collected in South Holland The council there charges ?49

:07:52. > :07:54.a year for 24 collections. Many of our other local authorities

:07:55. > :07:58.charge either ?30 or ?35 a year. Apart from these four,

:07:59. > :08:00.which still collect garden East Lindsey District Council

:08:01. > :08:08.doesn't think the extra cost will lead to an increase

:08:09. > :08:11.in flytipping and says the ?40 charge is now fixed for four years,

:08:12. > :08:13.with any surplus being Gemma Dawson, BBC Look

:08:14. > :08:23.North, Welton le Marsh. Do you agree with the

:08:24. > :08:25.collection charges? Would you be willing

:08:26. > :08:27.to pay ?40 a year Do you think you already

:08:28. > :08:36.pay enough council tax? We will have some of those before we

:08:37. > :09:10.finish at 7pm. Police say they've received

:09:11. > :09:12."a lot of information" following yesterday's appeal

:09:13. > :09:14.to missing mum Samantha Baldwin. Samantha, who's from Newark,

:09:15. > :09:16.went missing last Monday. It's believed she's with her two

:09:17. > :09:18.boys, six-year-old Louie Police say their inquiry

:09:19. > :09:21.is focussing on Nottinghamshire The Polish Ambassador

:09:22. > :09:26.to the United Kingdom says he is concerned

:09:27. > :09:28.about what will happen to Polish people living in Boston

:09:29. > :09:30.as the Brexit process He made the comments

:09:31. > :09:37.on a visit to the town today. 15% of people living in Boston

:09:38. > :09:41.were born outside the UK. The Prime Minister Theresa May says

:09:42. > :09:43.the free movement of people from the EU to the UK could be

:09:44. > :09:48.extended after Brexit. 75% of people in Boston voted

:09:49. > :09:54.to leave the European Union. I hope that during the negotiations

:09:55. > :09:57.it will be one of the first points because the future of families,

:09:58. > :09:59.the futures of individuals, the future of the companies

:10:00. > :10:01.of businesses is very, very important and this

:10:02. > :10:11.uncertainty is a bad thing. New research at the University

:10:12. > :10:13.of Lincoln could greatly improve our understanding

:10:14. > :10:18.of Parkinson's disease. There's currently no

:10:19. > :10:20.cure for the condition, which affects the brain and can lead

:10:21. > :10:22.to severe muscle But scientists studying eye movement

:10:23. > :10:29.in people with the disease believe their findings could lead

:10:30. > :10:32.to an earlier diagnosis and help Here's our health

:10:33. > :10:39.correspondent, Vicky Johnson. Karen Missenden from Lincoln was

:10:40. > :10:42.only in her 40s when she was first It can be horrendous to the point

:10:43. > :10:50.of how many medications you have got You get out and about in public

:10:51. > :10:55.people assume you're walking a bit funny,

:10:56. > :10:57.because you can go very shufflely, Every hour someone in the UK is told

:10:58. > :11:03.they have Parkinson's. High-profile sufferers

:11:04. > :11:05.include Billy Connolly, Bob Hoskins and, of course,

:11:06. > :11:09.Muhammad Ali. Parkinson's affects people

:11:10. > :11:12.differently but the main symptoms are shaking,

:11:13. > :11:16.slow movement and stiff muscles. It is thought people develop

:11:17. > :11:18.the condition when they do not produce enough of the chemical

:11:19. > :11:21.called dopamine because some nerve As yet, there is no cure

:11:22. > :11:27.but symptoms can be controlled through a combination of drugs,

:11:28. > :11:29.physiotherapy and So start off in the middle, Karen,

:11:30. > :11:36.until the spot jumps. This is why Karen's agreed to take

:11:37. > :11:40.part in research being carried out The special camera has

:11:41. > :11:44.picked up your eyes. They're using computerised eye

:11:45. > :11:46.trackers to analyse how people with Parkinson's

:11:47. > :11:52.control their eye movements. We can actually measure movement

:11:53. > :11:54.very, very precisely. We can actually pick up subtle

:11:55. > :11:57.differences in these movements in people with Parkinson's

:11:58. > :11:59.and without and one of the potential benefits is maybe there might be

:12:00. > :12:02.signs there that can be used Without a doubt I think

:12:03. > :12:24.it will have an impact By the time the symptoms become

:12:25. > :12:30.obviously know that about half the brain cells have been affected. If

:12:31. > :12:32.we can catch it earlier we will be in our condition to treat it and

:12:33. > :12:35.perhaps stop it earlier. The last significant drug discovery

:12:36. > :12:37.for Parkinson's was 50 years ago and while Karen's recently had brain

:12:38. > :12:40.surgery to ease some of her symptoms, what she and other

:12:41. > :12:43.sufferers are looking for now, Vicky Johnson, BBC

:12:44. > :12:49.Look North, Lincoln. The school

:12:50. > :12:52.that's shifting term dates around partly to help parents

:12:53. > :12:56.get cheap holidays. The million-to-one lambs -

:12:57. > :13:15.the sheep that's given Keep the photos coming in,

:13:16. > :13:17.especially as the nice weather is arriving.

:13:18. > :13:25.This photo of Wrawby Mill in North Lincs was taken by Andy Sean.

:13:26. > :13:37.Good evening, young man. I'm just reading an e-mail from a viewer in

:13:38. > :13:48.Ireland he says will we see poll again this week?

:13:49. > :14:00.I'm up for a free trip. Would you missed me? No.

:14:01. > :14:11.It could be barbecues at the weekend. Temperature is approaching

:14:12. > :14:20.20-21 degrees on Sunday afternoon, but cooler next week. Tomorrow there

:14:21. > :14:27.will be some cloud but there will also be some blue sky and sunshine.

:14:28. > :14:34.Here is the chart for a Sunday. We will have warm air that will be very

:14:35. > :14:40.pleasant on Sunday. Saturday will not be too bad either. There is a

:14:41. > :14:45.build-up of cloud this afternoon, but as temperatures drop back we

:14:46. > :14:52.should see more sunshine through this evening and overnight it will

:14:53. > :15:02.be dry with broken cloud. Overnight temperatures of around seven

:15:03. > :15:11.degrees, 4-5 in will areas. Here are the high water times. Tomorrow will

:15:12. > :15:16.be fine and dry. We will see variable amounts of cloud. And

:15:17. > :15:21.confident there will be a reasonable amount of blue sky. In the sun it

:15:22. > :15:31.will feel nice, but when it clouds over it will feel quite cool.

:15:32. > :15:36.Beverley and Hull have the highest temperatures, similar across the

:15:37. > :15:41.rest into Norfolk. Similar on Friday billeted the jumping temperatures.

:15:42. > :15:51.By Sunday you will be on the balcony, Peter.

:15:52. > :15:54.People are excited about the weather. I'm going. See you

:15:55. > :15:59.tomorrow. Yorkshire's first whisky

:16:00. > :16:01.distillery has been built by farmers near Bridlington,

:16:02. > :16:03.who say it's about time they and the area profited

:16:04. > :16:05.from locally-grown ingredients. They've been sending barley to big

:16:06. > :16:08.distilleries in Scotland for years, but have now decided to keep it

:16:09. > :16:11.closer to home in hopes of creating a drink that'll one day

:16:12. > :16:22.be as popular as Scotch. The barley that's just starting

:16:23. > :16:26.to sprout in these fields on the Yorkshire Wolds used to end

:16:27. > :16:29.up in Scotland, used to make a drink The Yorkshire Wolds are the premier

:16:30. > :16:35.malting barley growing area. Probably 80% of it now in the UK

:16:36. > :16:38.is produced in this sort of area. We felt we needed to

:16:39. > :16:42.keep some of that here. Whisky in its simplest

:16:43. > :16:47.form is distilled beer, just like cognac and brandys

:16:48. > :16:48.are distilled wine. These are basically

:16:49. > :16:50.big copper kettles. You are taking malted

:16:51. > :16:53.barley, you mill it When malt barley grist and hot water

:16:54. > :17:00.meet, something magical happens, When yeast meets sugar,

:17:01. > :17:06.you then get alcohol. So the end result is that

:17:07. > :17:10.the alcohol that was in here rises up through these pipes and condenses

:17:11. > :17:12.down and what you're left with is this clear but also

:17:13. > :17:20.milky coloured liquid. I know what you're thinking,

:17:21. > :17:22.that doesn't look like whisky. It is actually from the barrels that

:17:23. > :17:25.whisky gets its colour. In fact, it has to be in these

:17:26. > :17:28.barrels for at least three years It means the team don't

:17:29. > :17:32.actually know how their We have the Yorkshire barley,

:17:33. > :17:38.we have the Yorkshire Water from the farm and we have the people

:17:39. > :17:42.from Yorkshire running Of all the distilleries

:17:43. > :17:44.operating in Scotland, you can count them on one hand

:17:45. > :17:47.the ones that have anything We are doing everything we can

:17:48. > :17:51.to make sure we create something The team also hopes the distillery

:17:52. > :17:55.will become a must see attraction for tourists holidaying

:17:56. > :17:57.on the Yorkshire coast. Laura Foster, BBC

:17:58. > :18:06.Look North, Hunmanby. There was a big response

:18:07. > :18:08.to our story last night, about how a school in Lincolnshire

:18:09. > :18:11.is offering staff "duvet days" Long Sutton Community Primary School

:18:12. > :18:19.hopes that giving staff an extra day's leave means more teachers

:18:20. > :18:22.will apply for jobs there. Like I say, big response on this one

:18:23. > :18:25.and quite a mixed one too. Parents of children at a school

:18:26. > :19:05.in Hull will get the chance to book cheap summer holidays,

:19:06. > :19:08.after an extra week was added to end St Andrews Church of

:19:09. > :19:17.England Primary School is knocking the week off the Easter holidays,

:19:18. > :19:19.which will now be To give teachers and children

:19:20. > :19:26.more lesson time ahead of their May exams, and to give

:19:27. > :19:29.the parents the option of a cheap family getaway

:19:30. > :19:36.at the start of June. This one was first reported

:19:37. > :19:38.in the Hull Daily Mail. We spoke to parents

:19:39. > :19:52.at the school a short time ago, I think it is fabulous, it gives the

:19:53. > :19:58.year sixes are better chance of actually doing although studying up

:19:59. > :20:03.to their exams. It will benefit different people. I work and I have

:20:04. > :20:08.the school holidays off, so I would be happier with the two weeks, but

:20:09. > :20:13.it doesn't make any difference, really. I think we should stick to

:20:14. > :20:18.normal holidays and get the kids off together then. For some months it is

:20:19. > :20:20.hard for childcare. It is better for us and we have managed to book a

:20:21. > :20:23.cheaper week away. Earlier I spoke to Graham Huckstep,

:20:24. > :20:25.who is the head teacher I started by asking him why

:20:26. > :20:42.he thinks this is better We are basically for two or three

:20:43. > :20:47.reasons. We are very close to exams and after the normal Easter holiday

:20:48. > :20:51.there is normally a week, so that we would have a shorter Easter holiday

:20:52. > :20:57.and then give them a longer break in June. That also helps the parents

:20:58. > :21:02.choose cheaper holidays in the summer. We also like to think it is

:21:03. > :21:05.better for work- life balance for the staff, because they're having a

:21:06. > :21:13.longer period of rest in the middle of assessments and exams. We are

:21:14. > :21:20.pitting booking a cheap foreign holiday about Easter? No, we're a

:21:21. > :21:26.Church of England school. We will follow that festival very warmly and

:21:27. > :21:31.lovingly. Good Friday and Easter Monday, we will have arrested a few

:21:32. > :21:36.days afterwards, then back to hard work. As schools start going Rogue

:21:37. > :21:40.and doing their own thing, parents with pupils at more than one school

:21:41. > :21:48.are going to be disrupted and not like this. If people didn't go rogue

:21:49. > :21:54.over many years in many factors where Ruby B? Explorers? Inventors?

:21:55. > :21:58.It is only a trial period, so we are hoping that we will learn a lot over

:21:59. > :22:06.the next few weeks because people are asking us to get in touch if it

:22:07. > :22:13.is successful. We are going to try it and are complemented parents for

:22:14. > :22:18.supporting it. Is the six-week summer holiday also Victorian and

:22:19. > :22:22.out of date and too long? That is open to debate, it depends on

:22:23. > :22:30.parental needs, where your school lives, childminding. Some children

:22:31. > :22:34.and parents think it is too long. Some educators and authority people

:22:35. > :22:39.think it is too long. There are other ways to look at it, it is

:22:40. > :22:49.whether you have the courage and conviction to try those ways. We

:22:50. > :22:50.will see how it goes. Thank you. Looking great in the sunshine this

:22:51. > :22:53.afternoon. Do you think a one week

:22:54. > :22:56.Easter holiday is a good idea, with an extra week

:22:57. > :22:58.at the start of June? It's a big night for Hull City

:22:59. > :23:09.in the Premier League, as they could crawl out

:23:10. > :23:12.of the bottom three for the first They'll play Middlesbrough

:23:13. > :23:18.at the Kcom Stadium shortly. Our sports reporter, Matt Dean,

:23:19. > :23:22.is there for us now. Explain the significance
