:00:00. > :00:00.Here on BBC One it's time for the news where you are.
:00:07. > :00:08.Good evening. Welcome to the late Look North.
:00:09. > :00:14.The council spending thousands to clean up after travellers,
:00:15. > :00:19.but still can't provide a site for them to stay on.
:00:20. > :00:22.I think there definitely ought to be site where they could go.
:00:23. > :00:24.Because the police complained even if they had the manpower
:00:25. > :00:26.to move them, there's nowhere to move them to.
:00:27. > :00:29.I think the sooner they get a site the better.
:00:30. > :00:31.The Council Estate in Hull that's become a piece of art
:00:32. > :00:36.And the quiet conditions look set to continue.
:00:37. > :00:38.Some fog in south Lincolnshire at the moment.
:00:39. > :00:50.A council says it's having to spend thousands of pounds each year
:00:51. > :00:53.clearing up after travellers, but admits it still can't find
:00:54. > :01:01.Authorities have a legal duty to provide temporary stopping places
:01:02. > :01:04.but despite looking at more than 1200 sites North East
:01:05. > :01:07.Lincolnshire Council says it hasn't got anywhere suitable.
:01:08. > :01:15.Some of the 300 tonnes of rubbish it's claimed was left by a group
:01:16. > :01:22.Then they just dumped their rubbish mainly in that corner at the finish.
:01:23. > :01:25.In 2015, farmer Brian Holden from Tetney near Grimsby,
:01:26. > :01:29.was facing a ?10,000 bill to clean up this field after 30 caravans
:01:30. > :01:36.I didn't sleep at night, I was always worried
:01:37. > :01:39.about what was going to happen and how I was going
:01:40. > :01:43.Part of the problem, Brian says, is there are currently no designated
:01:44. > :01:46.sites for travellers in East Lindsey or North East Lincolnshire.
:01:47. > :01:49.I think there definitely ought to be a site where they could go
:01:50. > :01:52.because the police complained even if they had the manpower
:01:53. > :01:54.to move them, there is nowhere to move them to.
:01:55. > :01:57.The sooner they get a site, the better.
:01:58. > :01:58.In the last four years, unauthorised traveller
:01:59. > :02:03.sites have been set up 80 times in North East Lincolnshire.
:02:04. > :02:06.The council says it cost it more than ?43,000 to clear them up.
:02:07. > :02:11.The council is now looking to find designated temporary pitches,
:02:12. > :02:15.but after looking at more than 1200 possible locations to build them,
:02:16. > :02:20.At a meeting this afternoon North East Lancashire
:02:21. > :02:23.council agreed that it may have defined smaller fields
:02:24. > :02:26.rather than a large one to satisfy its legal requirement
:02:27. > :02:29.of providing designated stopover sites for the travelling community.
:02:30. > :02:33.If it does not fulfill that legal requirement,
:02:34. > :02:39.The travelling community also says it has a moral obligation,
:02:40. > :02:41.which at the moment it's not fulfilling.
:02:42. > :02:45.All local councils need to address the fact that gypsies and travellers
:02:46. > :02:49.There are laws in place saying we must be
:02:50. > :02:53.included when provision for housing is made.
:02:54. > :02:58.There's been a lot of hard work done on this over the last few years
:02:59. > :03:02.and of course when we actually do identify a site that we want to take
:03:03. > :03:04.forwards, it has to go through the planning
:03:05. > :03:06.process and there will be a full public consultation.
:03:07. > :03:09.The council will now resume its search for suitable sites,
:03:10. > :03:11.and while the travelling community says it needs to
:03:12. > :03:14.be better consulted, landowners like Brian say they need
:03:15. > :03:25.Ben Chastney is from a Travellers organisation.
:03:26. > :03:28.I asked for his response to the failure to set up a permanent
:03:29. > :03:32.site for travellers in North East Lincolnshire.
:03:33. > :03:35.I think we would put a question back to the council of how this
:03:36. > :03:38.I think most of your viewers, listeners, settler community,
:03:39. > :03:41.would really question when looking at so many sites,
:03:42. > :03:46.how they could possibly have come back with an answer of zero.
:03:47. > :03:49.That not one of them is possibly appropropriate.
:03:50. > :03:54.And I think we could put a question back of how that
:03:55. > :03:58.But can you see why the council are in a difficult position?
:03:59. > :04:00.Because, like it or not, many people will be unhappy
:04:01. > :04:04.Now, that might be unpalatable to say, but do
:04:05. > :04:10.In some cases, but that's precisely why we need to have more sensible
:04:11. > :04:13.approaches that is more open and honest with everyone involved
:04:14. > :04:17.in the conversation and it doesn't seem the council have involved
:04:18. > :04:19.either the settler community and certainly not the gypsy
:04:20. > :04:22.and traveller community in this process.
:04:23. > :04:25.So it's not suprising that the misinformation
:04:26. > :04:30.But when you see the damage which is done to land,
:04:31. > :04:33.like that in Tetney, can you see why some people don't
:04:34. > :04:39.That for us is exactly the reason why we need to change policy.
:04:40. > :04:42.The current process that goes on of cycle of eviction,
:04:43. > :04:45.cycle of eviction, it isn't working for anyone.
:04:46. > :04:47.Are you saying to me, given your own land,
:04:48. > :04:50.you would look after it better than you will otherwise?
:04:51. > :04:56.I'm not actually a member of the traveller community myself,
:04:57. > :04:59.and I don't want to speak for everyone, but it's fair to say
:05:00. > :05:00.virtually all members of the travelling community,
:05:01. > :05:03.if it's their land or someone else's land, most want to look
:05:04. > :05:07.It's those instances where it doesn't happen,
:05:08. > :05:12.it's because there is no negotiation, no formal process.
:05:13. > :05:15.Is the answer to my question, yes, I am right, that
:05:16. > :05:18.you would look after your own land or they would look after their own
:05:19. > :05:21.land designated for them better than they would of somewhere
:05:22. > :05:27.Even if it's not always about ownership.
:05:28. > :05:30.Even if there's a form of negotiation, say it's owned
:05:31. > :05:33.by the council for example, if there is an incentive
:05:34. > :05:35.and an agreement between for good behaviour in exchange for services,
:05:36. > :05:39.then of course people are going to treat that with respect
:05:40. > :05:41.and it's going to avoid some of the problems that both
:05:42. > :05:44.the community and those living in houses, settled community,
:05:45. > :05:48.You put your message across very strongly.
:05:49. > :06:01.A man has appeared in court accused of murdering a fellow
:06:02. > :06:04.patient at a mental health unit in Scunthorpe.
:06:05. > :06:06.60-year-old Robert McNeil died at the Great Oaks
:06:07. > :06:11.26-year-old Jamie Reed was remanded in custody until Friday when he'll
:06:12. > :06:16.The trust that runs the site says it'll hold an inquiry
:06:17. > :06:22.into what happened and cooperate fully with the police.

:06:42. > :06:44.Two men have been told to spend 16 years each in prison for their role
:06:45. > :06:47.in smuggling millions of pounds worth of drugs into the UK
:06:48. > :06:53.Edward Tron from Gateshead and Mark Quilliam from Liverpool
:06:54. > :06:57.Tron's wife Susan was also jailed for nine months
:06:58. > :07:05.Been involved in a crime which has demanded trust from them
:07:06. > :07:08.in their job and they've abused that trust, and they've exposed that
:07:09. > :07:10.vulnerability at the border, which we've clamped down
:07:11. > :07:12.on and that's been backed by the court today.
:07:13. > :07:15.16 years for the two main people involved, I think,
:07:16. > :07:18.is a serios custodial sentence and it should send
:07:19. > :07:23.a message out to other people who are maybe like minded.
:07:24. > :07:26.Yorkshire Bank Branches in Hull and Goole are to close.
:07:27. > :07:28.They are among 39 branches which are shutting
:07:29. > :07:32.The company says it's taken the decision to reflect the way

:07:44. > :07:48.A protection zone has been placed around the farm and investigations

:07:54. > :07:57.A Council Estate in Hull has been turned into a piece of art as part
:07:58. > :08:02.Flats on Great Thornton Street in the city have used filters to put
:08:03. > :08:05.on a light show which can be seen for miles around.
:08:06. > :08:12.Blocks of flats transformed into a riot of colour.
:08:13. > :08:15.It's been done by putting coloured filters over the outside lights
:08:16. > :08:20.and it's created an art installation that's all about communication.
:08:21. > :08:24.This project is really to connect the people living on the blocks
:08:25. > :08:28.with the rest of the city, but also between themselves.
:08:29. > :08:32.Not only did residents get to choose their own colours,
:08:33. > :08:35.but some have got to know each other in the process.
:08:36. > :08:38.We've worked as tenants to choose our own colours
:08:39. > :08:42.to actually meet tenants who are in the blocks,
:08:43. > :08:47.At first I was quite surprised cos I didn't
:08:48. > :08:48.think we'd be involved, it's just a block
:08:49. > :08:52.But it was really nice, yeah, I was quite pleased.
:08:53. > :08:54.There's a little bit of stigma about this area,
:08:55. > :08:58.but I think it helps to clear it all up and say that it's a good
:08:59. > :09:01.place to be in and it's a good place to live.
:09:02. > :09:04.Katy Austin with that report and she is out close

:09:09. > :09:13.Well, residents here are glad to be showing
:09:14. > :09:17.Some people here say they didn't think the city of culture
:09:18. > :09:20.would be aimed at them, but the whole idea of this
:09:21. > :09:24.The project, which is called I Want To Communicate With You
:09:25. > :09:27.was officially launched today, and its colours will remain up
:09:28. > :09:31.It's one of dozens of community projects

:09:59. > :10:01.There will be some mist and fog first thing in South Lincolnshire.
:10:02. > :10:03.Elsewhere, apart from a bit of drizzle, should be
:10:04. > :10:06.Hopefully over the weekend, high pressure in charge,
:10:07. > :10:08.a subtle change of wind direction may well start
:10:09. > :10:10.to introduce some breaks, especially as we head
:10:11. > :10:13.If you're travelling across South Lincolnshire,
:10:14. > :10:18.And, once again, the lowest temperatures with perhaps
:10:19. > :10:21.a touch of ground frost, will be down over South Lincolnshire
:10:22. > :10:25.Tomorrow, the fog in South Lincolnshire will lift
:10:26. > :10:28.Looks as though, apart from a bit of drizzle first thing,
:10:29. > :10:31.it's dry but quite cloudy, with top temperatures,
:10:32. > :10:34.highest in East Yorkshire, around eight degrees Celsius.
:10:35. > :10:40.That's all from us. We'll back tomorrow at 6.25.
:10:41. > :11:06.next few days, no great changes over the next few days, more sunshine on
:11:07. > :11:18.the way. Despite high-pressure sitting across

:11:23. > :11:28.of different weathers, for example this beautiful sunset in Southampton
:11:29. > :11:32.which was shared by a Weather Watcher, but grey and misty in Derby
:11:33. > :11:36.thanks to an awful lot of cloud around and very little deviation by
:11:37. > :11:38.day or night from the rather grey routine.
:11:39. > :11:40.That is because we have
