A war of words breaks out between MPs and councillors in Lincolnshire, | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Very important parts have been missed out and extra powers have | :00:15. | :00:27. | |
been taken away from the local areas to the May, and it's very worrying. | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
-- the mea. Distracted drivers - | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
police catch more and more people using their mobile phones | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
behind the wheel. Another settled week to comd. Join | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
me for the updated forecast. Local councillors and MPs | :00:37. | :00:47. | |
in Lincolnshire are continuhng to fight amongst themselves over | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
the future of a devolution The government wants to hand out | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
new powers and millions of pounds to councillors but ONLY if they will | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
have an elected mayor. Some authorities say | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
that's not acceptable. More from our correspondent, | :01:05. | :01:05. | |
Sarah Corker. Who is best placed to decide | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
how our taxes are spent, or to make big decisions on things | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
like housing and transport? Is it politicians at Westminster | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
or councillors at our town halls? Lincolnshire is divided | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
on a devolution deal Lincoln MP Karl McCartney described | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
county councils who rejected the deal last week as parochial | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
and acting like dogs in a manger. Comments which have | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
irritated councillors. Instead of calling us names, | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
give us your reasons, let's look at the figures | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
and the business background of it. Very important parts have bden | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
missed out and extra powers have been taken away from the local areas | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
to the mayor and it's very worrying. It's a deal that would see | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
the government hand over ?14 million The Greater Lincolnshire deal | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
would bring together north and north-east Lincolnshire | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
and the Lincolnshire Other cities like Manchester, | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
Liverpool and Sheffield have all accepted devolution deals | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
with an elected mayor. Today in the Commons, | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
the Boston and Skegness MP warned that Lincolnshire must not | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
turn its back on devolution. Will the Secretary of State join me | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
in encouraging the eight out of ten councils that have voted for this | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
already to work with the government to make sure we get the best | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
devolution deal for Lincolnshire and Lincolnshire doesn't | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
turn its back on half a billion But today, Southcliffe Kestdven | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
District Council also In replying to Karl, | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
any District Council voting for this would actually be | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
a turkey voting Because it's completely | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
unsustainable with a low population in a largely rural county | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
to have a Police Commissioner, an elected mayor, a County Council, | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
a District Council and Parish So Conservative MPs are divhded | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
councillors are divided and any devolution deal | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
looks increasingly unlikely. Earlier I spoke to the MP | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
for Cleethorpes Martin Vickdrs and I asked him whether the prospect | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
of a devolution deal Unfortunately the County Cotncil | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
seem to, at the very least, But as we've heard in the House | :03:28. | :03:40. | |
of Commons this afternoon, the government are still determined | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
to press ahead with a combined authority for those authorities that | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
have indicated that what they want. I'm certainly very | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
supportive of that. Have Lincolnshire County | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
Council actually damaged of the county and been | :03:58. | :03:58. | |
short-sighted in their decision I think they probably have, | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
to turn down a deal that was bringing with it an extra | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
half a billion pounds worth of funding is surely not | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
in the best interests of the county. Do you agree with the Lincoln MP, | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
Karl McCartney, who says th`t most county councillors tend to take | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
a parochial outlook Well, I think there's some | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
truth in that. To be fair I know of county | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
councillors and indeed district councillors | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
who have a much broader view. That's the one we want to sde | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
in action over this. A lot of these problems are caused | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
by the fact that we've got to have a mayor to get this | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
deal and this is imposed Isn't there a way round this, | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
isn't there a plan B where you can Personally I am very much | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
in favour of having a mayor. Otherwise combined authorities | :04:46. | :04:56. | |
meet, everyone speaks up for their own area, | :04:57. | :04:57. | |
but you need somebody at thd centre to pull things together | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
and prioritise things. Most members of the public don't | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
want another elected politician on a big, | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
fat salary, do they? I can understand that, | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
but in actual fact, this isn't actually another layer of government | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
because its existing It's a paid politician though isn't | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
it, on what will be a big s`lary? There is a paid politician | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
at its head, but the savings could easily be made | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
by making a reduction in the number of county | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
councillors, for example. Final question, your messagd to | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
Lincolnshire County Council is what? Please have a rethink in thd best | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
interest of all of the county. Mr Vickers, very | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
good to talk to you. A ward has been closed | :05:33. | :05:40. | |
at Grimsby's Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital today due | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
to the outbreak of a sickness bug. The local NHS trust says patients | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
who are suffering from diarrhoea and vomiting won't be disch`rged | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
until their illness has cleared. It's urged people with similar | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
symptoms not to come to the hospital until 48 hours after | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
they feel better. Emergency services were called | :05:54. | :06:03. | |
to Lincoln County Hospital this afternoon to deal | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
with an electrical fire. 15 patients had to be moved | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
to safety from the Navenby Ward No one was injured in the incident | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
which is being described It's been illegal for 13 ye`rs | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
but Humberside police says despite that more and more people | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
are using a mobile Officers say it's now so widespread | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
that they can barely scratch There are now calls | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
for stronger penalties. It looks like a normal supermarket | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
delivery entrance. Humberside Police has been | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
using unmarked cars to catch motorists on their phones, sat navs | :06:38. | :06:45. | |
or MP3 players while driving. Officers could spot them easily | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
because of the view from this lorry. An awful lot of people | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
with their mobile phone in their lap or holding it at the bottom | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
of the steering wheel. I think the only reason | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
they are doing that is So we are using this vehicle | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
for its height. Although there are police officers | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
here, this operation hasn't been The money's, from | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
Safer Roads Humber. There's a silver BMW, he's | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
got his mobile phone in right hand. People are still willing | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
to take that risk. Maybe if they saw the devastation it | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
does cause, they wouldn't do it But maybe it's because they think | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
they're never going to get caught. Someone who knows about | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
the heartache it can cause is Her husband Keith was killed | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
when he was knocked down by a driver Because tomorrow it could bd | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
you causing somebody's death. I know what we've been | :07:38. | :07:51. | |
through and it's devastating. At the end of the day, | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
they just walk away, pay their fine, do their prison sentence | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
and then their life goes back to normal and ours will | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
never be normal again. I lost my husband, my two children | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
lost their father. Last time the police did | :08:01. | :08:15. | |
an operation like this That's in addition to almost 90 | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
people who have already been stopped Using a mobile phone is almost as | :08:18. | :08:28. | |
bad as drink-driving. It's not socially unacceptable | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
like drink-driving. It is worrying because I soletimes | :08:33. | :08:33. | |
think that we're not really even scratching the surface of mobile | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
phone use and it's If you're caught using a hand-held | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
device at the wheel, you can be given three | :08:39. | :08:48. | |
points and ?100 fine. But that's set to go up to six | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
points and a ?200 fine next year. The changing peoples' attitudes | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
could much longer. Laura Foster, BBC | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
Look North, Scunthorpe. Philip Norton is by the A63 Neal | :09:02. | :09:21. | |
Hull. Why is this message and not getting through? Mobile phones are | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
not used just for phone calls, they stream music in their cars, many | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
people use them as a sat nav and there is the temptation to tse | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
there is the temptation to use the Internet or is Czech social media. | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
Humberside Police accepted technology has changed, but the old | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
rules still apply. These shouldn't be held or be looked that at the | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
wheel. They also said they would welcome stiffer penalties, stronger | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
penalties to act as more of a deterrent to try to stop using these | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
while driving. A lot of e-m`ils and while driving. A lot of e-mails and | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
text messages on this, we'll have more at p.m. Tomorrow night. It | :09:58. | :10:06. | |
looks set to be another predominantly dry week across all | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
parts of the region with high pressure dominating our weather and | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
the bus stop sunshine will be tomorrow. Big changed | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
meteorologically, high-pressure still dominating. Just a chance of | :10:18. | :10:24. | |

in towns and cities. But Western areas could be down to four Celsius | :10:34. | :10:37. | |

breeze picking up, a westerly, something we have not seen much of | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
this month. But there will not be a great deal of rain around. We did | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
have rain today across the south-west, leaden skies in Bristol, | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
