Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.

Britain is a fine weather on the way and a lovely weekend in prospect

joined me for the detailed forecast. Residents facing eviction

from a chalet park in East Yorkshire say the council has treated

them without compassion. Yesterday, a judge threw out

the case against the owner of Lakeminster Park, near Beverley,

who had been accused of mis-selling People living on the site have been

served an eviction notice by East Riding of Yorkshire Council,

but some say they'll David and and Norma Aldcroft now

live with half of their Last year, they and all

of their neighbours on Lakeminster Park were served with

an eviction notice by East Riding We held ground and no one came to

the door to tell is to go so we have been in limbo ever since. We have

boxes in limbo ever since. We have boxes and most rooms. We are living

in hope that better things will happen in the future.

Residents here say they bought their properties

believing they could live in them all year round, but the council says

they've been in breach of planning rules and has ordered

Yesterday, the fraud case against the park's owner

Wiliam Flannigan, was thrown out of court.

Today residents I spoke to lay the blame firmly with East Riding

It is very distressing. It has caused arguments and divisions

between people. Very upsetting. From us coming in 2010, we have paid

council tax, we have had our bins emptied, we have voted. None of

those things you do if you live in a holiday home. Why did they not phone

us and tell us not to pay council tax because it was a holiday home.

There were once more than 70 properties on this site but now

there are only 18 households left. Some have sold their property and

leave, others are staying to fight the eviction notice. Some want to

leave and simply can't because all of their money is tied up in the

house and they cannot afford to go anywhere else.

And that's the case for David and Norma.

We have lost six years for lice and at this stage of lice we can't

afford to do that. We still don't know what's going to happen. I blame

the council, I don't think they've been compassionate to people in any

way. They have harmed people with stress and health and everything

else. It is not a happy situation. The couple are now waiting

for the outcome of a High Court appeal against the eviction

notice in June. After that, they hope they'll be

able to sell their property and move The council did not want to put

anyone up for interview, but they did send us a statement saying they

will continue to offer support to those living on site, with many

already taken up offers of accommodation from the council.

The council is urging those who have yet to make alternative

housing arrangements to do so and the council's housing

service can be contacted to discuss their housing need.

But as you heard, residents say the authority has been

uncompassionate to a group of what are essentially

The council is likely to have more questions to answer

in the future about its handling of the situatuion.

But almost 60 residents continue to blame the site owner

William Flannigan for the situation and they are taking him

A council in Lincolnshire says it can no longer afford to subsidise

garden waste collections, and that it shouldn't have to,

after increasing the amount it charges residents.

From this week, people in East Lindsey have to pay ?40 a year

The increase has already raised an extra ?300,000,

but not everyone is happy about the price hike.

In the village of Welton le Marsh, near Alford, earlier

Residents here used to pay ?25 a year for this service.

But now - those that want it - are charged ?40

The Council used to subsidise this service,

but now the cost of around ?1 million is paid for by

The authority, though, still thinks its value for money,

because ?40 a year works out at less than ?2 per collection.

Green waste is a service where we are able to reduce the costs and by

looking at a cost recovery model. We are allowed to do that. The

politicians made a decision and that is how we can progress. The money

has to come from somewhere. I think it is quite a high costs, especially

when the council tax has gone up as well. We worked out the costs that

it was better than us going down to the dump. I don't pay for it because

I put it at the bottom of the garden until a rock stone and then I put it

around the flower beds. But East Lindsey isn't the most

expensive place in East Yorkshire People who want their garden waste

collected in South Holland The council there charges ?49

a year for 24 collections. Many of our other local authorities

charge either ?30 or ?35 a year. Apart from these four,

which still collect garden East Lindsey District Council

doesn't think the extra cost will lead to an increase

in flytipping and says the ?40 charge is now fixed for four years,

with any surplus being Gemma Dawson, BBC Look

North, Welton le Marsh. Do you agree with the

collection charges? Would you be willing

to pay ?40 a year Do you think you already

pay enough council tax? We will have some of those before we

finish at 7pm. Police say they've received

"a lot of information" following yesterday's appeal

to missing mum Samantha Baldwin. Samantha, who's from Newark,

went missing last Monday. It's believed she's with her two

boys, six-year-old Louie Police say their inquiry

is focussing on Nottinghamshire The Polish Ambassador

to the United Kingdom says he is concerned

about what will happen to Polish people living in Boston

as the Brexit process He made the comments

on a visit to the town today. 15% of people living in Boston

were born outside the UK. The Prime Minister Theresa May says

the free movement of people from the EU to the UK could be

extended after Brexit. 75% of people in Boston voted

to leave the European Union. I hope that during the negotiations

it will be one of the first points because the future of families,

the futures of individuals, the future of the companies

of businesses is very, very important and this

uncertainty is a bad thing. New research at the University

of Lincoln could greatly improve our understanding

of Parkinson's disease. There's currently no

cure for the condition, which affects the brain and can lead

to severe muscle But scientists studying eye movement

in people with the disease believe their findings could lead

to an earlier diagnosis and help Here's our health

correspondent, Vicky Johnson. Karen Missenden from Lincoln was

of how many medications you have got You get out and about in public

people assume you're walking a bit funny,

because you can go very shufflely, Every hour someone in the UK is told

they have Parkinson's. High-profile sufferers

include Billy Connolly, Bob Hoskins and, of course,

Muhammad Ali. Parkinson's affects people

differently but the main symptoms are shaking,

slow movement and stiff muscles. It is thought people develop

the condition when they do not produce enough of the chemical

called dopamine because some nerve As yet, there is no cure

but symptoms can be controlled through a combination of drugs,

physiotherapy and So start off in the middle, Karen,

until the spot jumps. This is why Karen's agreed to take

part in research being carried out The special camera has

picked up your eyes. They're using computerised eye

trackers to analyse how people with Parkinson's

control their eye movements. We can actually measure movement

very, very precisely. We can actually pick up subtle

differences in these movements in people with Parkinson's

and without and one of the potential benefits is maybe there might be

signs there that can be used Without a doubt I think

it will have an impact By the time the symptoms become

we can catch it earlier we will be in our condition to treat it and

perhaps stop it earlier. The last significant drug discovery

for Parkinson's was 50 years ago and while Karen's recently had brain

surgery to ease some of her symptoms, what she and other

Good evening, young man. I'm just reading an e-mail from a viewer in

Ireland he says will we see poll again this week?

I'm up for a free trip. Would you missed me? No.

It could be barbecues at the weekend. Temperature is approaching

20-21 degrees on Sunday afternoon, but cooler next week. Tomorrow there

will be some cloud but there will also be some blue sky and sunshine.

Here is the chart for a Sunday. We will have warm air that will be very

pleasant on Sunday. Saturday will not be too bad either. There is a

build-up of cloud this afternoon, but as temperatures drop back we

should see more sunshine through this evening and overnight it will

be dry with broken cloud. Overnight temperatures of around seven

degrees, 4-5 in will areas. Here are the high water times. Tomorrow will

be fine and dry. We will see variable amounts of cloud. And

confident there will be a reasonable amount of blue sky. In the sun it

will feel nice, but when it clouds over it will feel quite cool.

Beverley and Hull have the highest temperatures, similar across the

rest into Norfolk. Similar on Friday billeted the jumping temperatures.

By Sunday you will be on the balcony, Peter.

People are excited about the weather. I'm going. See you

tomorrow. Yorkshire's first whisky

distillery has been built by farmers near Bridlington,

who say it's about time they and the area profited

from locally-grown ingredients. They've been sending barley to big

distilleries in Scotland for years, but have now decided to keep it

closer to home in hopes of creating a drink that'll one day

be as popular as Scotch. The barley that's just starting

to sprout in these fields on the Yorkshire Wolds used to end

up in Scotland, used to make a drink The Yorkshire Wolds are the premier

malting barley growing area. Probably 80% of it now in the UK

is produced in this sort of area. We felt we needed to

keep some of that here. Whisky in its simplest

form is distilled beer, just like cognac and brandys

are distilled wine. These are basically

big copper kettles. You are taking malted

barley, you mill it When malt barley grist and hot water

meet, something magical happens, When yeast meets sugar,

you then get alcohol. So the end result is that

the alcohol that was in here rises up through these pipes and condenses

down and what you're left with is this clear but also

milky coloured liquid. I know what you're thinking,

that doesn't look like whisky. It is actually from the barrels that

whisky gets its colour. In fact, it has to be in these

barrels for at least three years It means the team don't

actually know how their We have the Yorkshire barley,

we have the Yorkshire Water from the farm and we have the people

from Yorkshire running Of all the distilleries

operating in Scotland, you can count them on one hand

the ones that have anything We are doing everything we can

to make sure we create something The team also hopes the distillery

will become a must see attraction for tourists holidaying

on the Yorkshire coast. Laura Foster, BBC

Look North, Hunmanby. There was a big response

to our story last night, about how a school in Lincolnshire

is offering staff "duvet days" Long Sutton Community Primary School

hopes that giving staff an extra day's leave means more teachers

will apply for jobs there. Like I say, big response on this one

and quite a mixed one too. Parents of children at a school

in Hull will get the chance to book cheap summer holidays,

after an extra week was added to end St Andrews Church of

England Primary School is knocking the week off the Easter holidays,

which will now be To give teachers and children

more lesson time ahead of their May exams, and to give

the parents the option of a cheap family getaway

at the start of June. This one was first reported

in the Hull Daily Mail. We spoke to parents

at the school a short time ago, I think it is fabulous, it gives the

year sixes are better chance of actually doing although studying up

to their exams. It will benefit different people. I work and I have

the school holidays off, so I would be happier with the two weeks, but

it doesn't make any difference, really. I think we should stick to

normal holidays and get the kids off together then. For some months it is

hard for childcare. It is better for us and we have managed to book a

cheaper week away. Earlier I spoke to Graham Huckstep,

who is the head teacher I started by asking him why

he thinks this is better We are basically for two or three

reasons. We are very close to exams and after the normal Easter holiday

there is normally a week, so that we would have a shorter Easter holiday

and then give them a longer break in June. That also helps the parents

choose cheaper holidays in the summer. We also like to think it is

better for work- life balance for the staff, because they're having a

longer period of rest in the middle of assessments and exams. We are

pitting booking a cheap foreign holiday about Easter? No, we're a

Church of England school. We will follow that festival very warmly and

lovingly. Good Friday and Easter Monday, we will have arrested a few

days afterwards, then back to hard work. As schools start going Rogue

and doing their own thing, parents with pupils at more than one school

are going to be disrupted and not like this. If people didn't go rogue

over many years in many factors where Ruby B? Explorers? Inventors?

It is only a trial period, so we are hoping that we will learn a lot over

the next few weeks because people are asking us to get in touch if it

is successful. We are going to try it and are complemented parents for

supporting it. Is the six-week summer holiday also Victorian and

out of date and too long? That is open to debate, it depends on

parental needs, where your school lives, childminding. Some children

and parents think it is too long. Some educators and authority people

think it is too long. There are other ways to look at it, it is

whether you have the courage and conviction to try those ways. We

will see how it goes. Thank you. Looking great in the sunshine this

afternoon. Do you think a one week

Easter holiday is a good idea, with an extra week

at the start of June? It's a big night for Hull City

in the Premier League, as they could crawl out

of the bottom three for the first They'll play Middlesbrough

at the Kcom Stadium shortly. Our sports reporter, Matt Dean,

is there for us now. Explain the significance

of this game? It is highly significant for Hull

City and Middlesbrough because they are both in the relegation places at

the moment. But for Hull City to remove themselves from the bottom

three they will need to win here and rely on Swansea failing to beat

Tottenham Hotspur. Hillsborough need to when, if they lose their season

will be over. Everyone is upbeat and Hull City at the moment and improved

form under the head coach means everyone has a greater belief they

could avoid relegation. Of course, it is normal. 13 points in the first

games of the season, but in the last ten we have done 40. That leads to

confidence. Hull City's chances are hands tonight because of two

factors. Firstly, they have not lost on the best headquarters in seven

league and cup games, and Middlesbrough have not won a great

in 2017. -- have not won a game. This will be watched by the biggest

crowd of the season. There is live commentary of the game on BBC Radio.

There will be highlights on match of the Day tonight at 10:45pm.

Talking about paying for garden waste collection, thank you for

e-mails and texts. Irene says that is very little to pay for the

collection. Mike says it will be the thin end of the wedge, allowing the

council is to charge separately for waste collection. Another theory

says that when wealthy councils realise that they are contributing

to the fly-tipping problem. Many people will go along with that. Jill
