The headlines tonight: It's claimed a new bridge over this | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
level crossing in Lincoln will discriminate against | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
A former police detective warns little can be done to prevent future | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
Council bosses in Hull say work is on track, | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
but don't expect the orange barriers to be gone by the start | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
Some rather stormy weather in the run-up to Christmas. I will be back | :00:31. | :00:44. | |
with all the details. Railway chiefs are being accused | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
of appalling discrimination for ignoring the needs of people | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
with disabilities in Lincoln. Network Rail is building | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
a new bridge at the Brayford Wharf level crossing - | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
and says installing lifts for people with mobility problems | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
would be too expensive. The Brayford Wharf East level | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
crossing in Lincoln is busy. It's the second-highest risk | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
on the East Midlands train route. So Network Rail wants | :01:15. | :01:28. | |
to put in a footbridge. would have a difference, though - | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
there'd be no lift. We asked some pedestrians | :01:33. | :01:42. | |
what they thought of that. If they're going to build is it | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
really to have lifts. I thought it was the law | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
that you had to provide access for disabled people | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
for providing public service. I can see why it would be helpful | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
because they can't have one, I think it be better to have | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
than not. It's been a couple of minutes now | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
since the barriers went down and the train is in full flow | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
going across the crossing you can With a bridge, they'd have been able | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
to cross by now, but anyone who struggles with stairs | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
would still be waiting. Network Rail told us it tried | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
to consult a Lincoln disabilities group about the bridge - | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
but didn't hear back. I don't know when they would've done | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
that because I have been retired for nearly five years now and when I | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
left the organisation closed It is appalling that in this day | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
and age they can actually put plants and to build something | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
without any disabled access. The thing is they have discriminated | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
against disabled people, whether it put plants and to build something | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
without any disabled access. The thing is they have discriminated | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
against disabled people, whether it Network Rail points out it's not | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
going to close the crossing, so everyone could still use it | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
when the barriers are up. And says the reason for the lift | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
being taken out is lack of funding. But campaigners want a bridge that's | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
accessible to all, all the time. More cash machines will be ripped | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
from the walls of stores and banks in this area by gangs | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
of roving thieves. A former senior detective says it's | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
"inevitable" because little can It's a crime that takes just minutes | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
to carry out but can leave communities picking up | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
the pieces for months. This year has seen a rash | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
of ATM thefts across East Yorkshire Former Detective Chief | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
Inspector Stuart Gibbon says the responsible | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
organised are highly organised. From a police perspective | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
of the investigation These people are forensically | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
aware and they will do anything to disguise their identity | :03:45. | :03:55. | |
for CCTV purposes and will also take steps to avoid leaving | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
fingerprints and DNA. I hate to say we have | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
to accept it, but there is an inevitability | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
about this type of Donington in Lincolnshire was one | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
of the towns that were hit. Months later the shop | :04:05. | :04:14. | |
was still closed, even though thieves failed | :04:15. | :04:23. | |
to steal a single penny | :04:24. | :04:36. | |
here, the cost has been estimated at several | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
hundred thousand pounds. It's going to look very similar | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
to what it did prior to We're still working on ways | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
of preventing any of this happening ever again so that could | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
be re-siting of ATM so it is an This type of crime has | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
become all too familiar. In January thieves | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
stole cash from a cash A month later the Co-op | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
in Skrllingthorpe In April a shop in Home | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
on Spalding Moor and a bank In May the ATM in a shop in | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
Sutton Bridge was ripped out. In September came | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
the failed ram-raid And in December thieves | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
struck yet again at I think that just need | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
to review the security. If they are doing | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
as much as they can that very little they can do | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
actually to prevent this from It could be February before | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
the fall work here to repair the shop is complete | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
and after such a long period of disruption people | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
living here want to ensure measures are put in place that will stop | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
anything like this happening again. The Government is being urged | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
to intervene immediately to tackle The Conservative MP for Gainsborough | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
- Sir Edward Leigh - told the Commons that not enough | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
doctors were being trained. A shortage of 80 GPs against | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
a target of 900 in Lincolnshire. And only six out of 30 | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
training places were Will the Secretary of | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
State now grip the GP services in Lincolnshire | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
for the sake of our people? The reality is that | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
in the last parliament we increased number | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
of GPs by 5% and this parliament we are planning | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
to increase them by another 5000 which | :05:53. | :05:53. | |
will be the biggest increase in GPs A ban on some species of birds | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
at public gatherings has been put in place - | :05:58. | :06:05. | |
following an outbreak of bird Thousands of turkeys either | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
died or had to be culled after the disease was found | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
at Austen Fen Farm, near Louth. The ban applies to chickens, | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
turkeys, ducks and geese - and means they can't be taken | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
to livestock fairs, Just 12 days till Hull becomes | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
the UK City of Culture - for a whole year - | :06:24. | :06:35. | |
the city's council has been giving reassurances that large scale work | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
to repave the main streets BUT they warn people not to not | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
to expect it all to be done Sarah Walton is live | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
in Hull, will people Well you could notice a difference | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
in just 12 days' time because the new year is when phase | :06:48. | :07:05. | |
one of the works is due to finish and these infamous orange barriers | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
will start to disappear. Areas of here and the food market at | :07:10. | :07:24. | |
the crudest examples -- at the clearest examples | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
of what's been done - many of these businesses | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
here are new and were attracted here by the revamp. | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
This is what the council is trying to replicate | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
The first phase of an ambitious plan to transform the city centre | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
is almost complete - contractors are working hard to meet | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
the end of year deadline on what's been huge project. | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
it is grown and grown and grown and we decided to do as much as we can | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
do before the year of culture. It's all part of a ten-year city | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
plan started three years ago. Winning City of Culture | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
led to a decision to So now Whitefriargate | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
is looking different - and who hasn't noticed the change | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
at the fruit market - although in some places | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
there's still a way to go. Queen Victoria Square will be | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
finished which is why it is the centrepiece of the opening event. | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
The Galilee at opening time in the new Theatre is planned for later in | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
the year and our own contemporary art gallery and Humber Street will | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
open as planned in February. Everything is happening as it has | :08:25. | :08:25. | |
been planned. But after phase one comes phase | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
two - work to rennovate King Edward Square which won't be | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
completed till Easter. And that's a concern for local | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
businesses who say customers I'm worried for January and | :08:35. | :08:46. | |
February. We have plodded on and have kept our heads above water so | :08:47. | :08:54. | |
the staff still have their hours. It is really only. | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
are being put off by the maze of orange barriers. | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
Hull has been messy and noisy for longer than many | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
had expected but the vision for a city centre that people | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
want to visit and businesses want to be is final | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
So the message from the council today was really the bulk of this | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
work will be done for City of Culture - but the | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
There'll be some finishing off to do and work on side roads, | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
as well as the King Edwards Square development. | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
But you should start noticing a change soon - | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
and that will be welcome news, because I think most people | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
here are pretty keen to see the back of these things now. | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
The player of Grimsby town met some of their younger fans who live in | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
the hospital this Christmas. There were visitors to Diana Princess of | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
Wales children's unit and they give the children guess from the club | :09:49. | :09:49. | |
shop. Well done to the players. A fine book cold out out there at | :09:50. | :10:07. | |
the moment with frost in places but more pliable spreading for the North | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
West bringing patchy rain and drizzle and then of the night | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
temperatures will be around four or 5 degrees. Tomorrow there will be | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
sunshine for time during the middle part the day and afternoon some | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
showery rain will track south-eastwards and quite blustery | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
with that writing again later with a high of around eight or 9 degrees. | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
-- brightening again. Across parts of Yorkshire on Friday there will be | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
very windy conditions and will be affected by storm Barbara was wet | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
and windy weather to come. That could be some disruption to travel | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
and through Christmas weekend it does remain unsettled and quite | :10:44. | :10:44. | |
windy at times. Thank you for watching we're back in | :10:45. | :10:52. | |
the morning with summary starting at 25 most past six and every have an | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
hour. -- half hour. country it's worth knowing the | :10:55. | :11:05. | |
national forecast. Over now to Tomasz. | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
So, the weather's going to blow a few cobwebs away in the coming days | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
and maybe a few other things, as well. How stormy is it going to get? | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
For most of us probably not too terrible. It is, however, going to | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
be very nasty across parts of Scotland on Friday. The clouds are | :11:26. | :11:33. | |
racing across the Atlantic and we will see a storm by the time we get | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
to around about Friday and then Friday night. | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
At the moment we have a weather front crossing the country, we have | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
had dreadful weather in the north-west, it was cold and raining | :11:44. | :11:45. | |
in Northern Ireland and western Scotland. This band of rain will be | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
somewhere here by the end of the night. Behind it a shot of cooler | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
air, colder air and frequent showers. This is what Wednesday | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
looks like. | :11:58. | :11:59. |
