The headlines tonight: A cautious welcome for the Chancellor's budget | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
as rate cuts are promised for small businesses and pubs. | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
Whether it will offset the increases we were expecting anyway, many | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
customers say it's a slight drop in the ocean. | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
A "fourth emergency service" - the volunteers taking to their bikes | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
to help find missing people in Lincolnshire. | :00:28. | :00:38. | |
Join me for the detailed updated forecast with more sunshine in store | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
for tomorrow. Businesses in East Yorkshire | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
and Lincolnshire have broadly welcomed the Chancellor's budget | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
today - a budget which the government says "addresses | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
the key issues facing the country". In it, the Chancellor, | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
Phillip Hammond, promised to introduce a cap on business rates | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
for small businesses. People on low incomes | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
will see the living wage increased to ?7.50 an hour, | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
but National Insurance contributions Our Political Editor, Tim Iredale, | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
has been at Westminster today, Well, it depends on who you speak | :01:11. | :01:32. | |
to. I have heard it described as a bumper Brexit budget for our area | :01:33. | :01:33. | |
and a damp squib, too. We will hear and a damp squib, too. We will hear | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
from some of our MPs in the moment but first reaction from the business | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
community in our area. Businesses eagerly awaited | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
the traditional budget day pose and the start | :01:46. | :01:46. | |
of the Chancellor's speech. In the first budget since Brexit, | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
it was revealed the economy is Well, those that represent | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
businesses in the area say We are doing very | :01:52. | :02:50. | |
well at the moment. the Siemens investment, | :02:51. | :02:51. | |
the council talks about billions of investment, I'm sure that's more | :02:52. | :02:51. | |
than we've probably ever had at any single point in the past, | :02:52. | :02:51. | |
so we are on a bit of a role. There are difficulties | :02:52. | :02:51. | |
as we do know about, Here at Safety Clothing, | :02:52. | :02:51. | |
they're expanding rapidly This is our national distribution | :02:52. | :02:51. | |
strategy from the Chancellor. so we are going to have | :02:52. | :02:51. | |
to build another one. When it's all finished and up | :02:52. | :02:52. | |
to speed, there'll be over I was looking for fundamental | :02:53. | :02:52. | |
honesty about the state of the nation's | :02:53. | :02:52. | |
finances which I got. It was a sigh of relief | :02:53. | :02:52. | |
for this cafe whose business rates won't be as high | :02:53. | :03:02. | |
as they thought. Now the budget's come out, | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
it's a really big thing for us. 90% of pubs in the UK | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
will also receive a discount. This small brewery supplies | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
around 100 in our area. I spoke to people to see | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
what their thoughts were. They welcomed the Government's | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
recognition of pubs being a part of the community and, hopefully, | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
it's the first time we have seen that in a budget, | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
hopefully that will continue And we heard there'll be ?90 million | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
of transport spending for the north. So what would people like that | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
money to be spent on? Why don't we have the infrastructure | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
that Amsterdam has? Smoother pavements, | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
things like that. A sign on the main road into Hull | :03:48. | :03:57. | |
reads "What can you do?" It seems with a little | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
help, rather a lot. Tim political reaction has | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
there been to the budget today? Arguably the biggest talking point | :04:09. | :04:21. | |
tonight is the pledge to spend extra money on social care. Councils | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire have been told they can | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
increase ties pack -- council tax bills by 3% this year. | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
Councils said they were facing a ?2.6 billion shortfall by 2020. | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
So, today the Chancellor announced he would set aside ?2 billion | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
for social care over the next three years. | :04:43. | :04:52. | |
Is it enough and I put that question to some of our MPs. | :04:53. | :05:02. | |
At least it's a contribution towards a significant problem. | :05:03. | :05:13. | |
What we have is the Government holding | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
its hands up and saying there is no crisis in our watch on health and | :05:16. | :05:15. | |
social care and throwing some money at it. | :05:16. | :05:16. | |
We need to look at how social care works in the long-term. | :05:17. | :05:25. | |
This will be an extra ?1 billion this coming year and I think | :05:26. | :05:26. | |
that will be good news, I hope, for Lincolnshire County | :05:27. | :05:27. | |
This wasn't a headline, giveaway budget and there won't be many | :05:28. | :05:45. | |
people cracking the bubbly open tonight because they feel better | :05:46. | :05:46. | |
off, Peter. And if you want more reaction | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
and analysis of today's budget, there's plenty of information | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
on the BBC webiste - Northern Rail has announced details | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
of a reduced service next Monday The RMT union balloted | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
for the strike over new arrangements Northern Rail says it will run | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
40% of its timetable The chairman of Hull | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust has announced he is to step | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
down at the end of the month. Mike Ramsden took on the role | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
after widespread bullying was exposed by the Care Quality | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
Commission. It's hoped a new electronic record | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
system for East Midlands Ambulance It will give paramedics quicker | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
access to medical records and allow information to be sent to hospitals | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
before the patient arrives. Around 200 properties | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
are still without water four days after pipe burst under a river | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
in the Lincolnshire Wolds. Anglian Water says bottled water | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
is being made available to people Every year, hundreds of people go | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
missing in Lincolnshire and valuable police time is spent trying | :06:52. | :07:00. | |
to find them. Now, thanks to a lottery grant, | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
a team of volunteers on mountain But there are only four bikes | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
for the whole of Lincolnshire and the Lowland Search and Rescue | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
team admits it needs more Laura Foster joined | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
them as they trained They're like mountain rescue | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
without the hills, the coast guard ready to help Lincolnshire Police | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
find people who've gone missing because of dementia, | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
mental health issues or because they've run | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
away from home. I can see it almost | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
like a fourth emergency service. There are times when | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
the emergency services themselves are pretty | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
stretched on the ground. They need the assistance | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
of volunteers. The mountain bike element | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
is fairly new to us so we are hitting the ground | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
running, so to speak, but yes, the element | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
is to They're given a meeting point that | :07:55. | :08:23. | |
can be anywhere from Grimsby Some will go on foot, but this | :08:24. | :08:24. | |
new bike team rides in a four. The person at the front's | :08:25. | :08:24. | |
in charge of navigating, the second rider looks left, | :08:25. | :08:24. | |
the third looks right, while the fourth is the team leader | :08:25. | :08:24. | |
and watches over the group. At the moment the team are being | :08:25. | :08:24. | |
briefed on their drill to find Pete. He and I were in the | :08:25. | :08:24. | |
middle of the forest. Got to run, hide, play a certain | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
type of persona so it Yes, hopefully they can find me | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
and bring me back safe. It's not just about cycling, | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
the team are specially trained in calming down vulnerably | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
individuals and guiding Lincolnshire Police says their help | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
is incredibly important. We'd struggle to find | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
the number of staff they can. We do rally every | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
available member of staff, but that extra | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
help is invaluable. Currently they've only got four | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
bikes for the second We're just about getting | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
by at the moment. We need more volunteers | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
to be able to join, train up and give a little bit | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
of time to the community. At the moment, there are no | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
mountain bike search teams for Yorkshire, | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
it's hoped that will be Laura Foster, BBC Look | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
North Market Rasen. And, although it was only a drill, | :09:24. | :09:32. | |
the team managed to find Pete Let's get a look at | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
the weather with Paul. What a lovely afternoon it was. | :09:36. | :09:58. | |
Sunshine tomorrow but windy at first. Fairly quiet conditions. | :09:59. | :10:09. | |
Maybe one or two showers into more northern areas later. Tomorrow, | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
variable cloud and the odd spot of rain for East Yorkshire but it looks | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
bright with plenty of sunshine for most and dry. Quite windy at first. | :10:24. | :10:31. | |
Cloudy but mostly dry on Friday and some patchy rain for the weekend. | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
