:00:09. > :00:12.The headlines tonight... Health bosses are told
:00:13. > :00:13.the government must look closer at controversial plans
:00:14. > :00:16.to cut back minor injuries units in East Yorkshire.
:00:17. > :00:18.This strategy does not listen to what local people want
:00:19. > :00:25.and is putting vital services too far from where people live.
:00:26. > :00:28.The washed up rubbish that ends up on our beaches being turned
:00:29. > :00:33.And how long can we hang onto this fine, mostly dry weather?
:00:34. > :00:49.Hospital bosses have been told their plans to close
:00:50. > :00:53.or downgrade minor injuries units in East Yorkshire will put
:00:54. > :00:58.The Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt will now have to investigate further
:00:59. > :01:01.after an influential group of councillors said
:01:02. > :01:06.Tonight campaigners say they're delighted.
:01:07. > :01:08.I'll speak to one of them in a moment.
:01:09. > :01:11.But first Matthew Bone has this report.
:01:12. > :01:14.These plans to close or downgrade some Minor Injuries Units have met
:01:15. > :01:16.with fierce opposition from the start.
:01:17. > :01:19.It would mean three new urgent care centres opening at Beverley,
:01:20. > :01:22.Bridlington and Goole for 16 hours a day.
:01:23. > :01:27.But Minor Injury Units at Driffield and Withernsea would become
:01:28. > :01:39.And the MIU at Hornsea would close altogether.
:01:40. > :01:42.Today, councillors said these plans posed a risk to health care
:01:43. > :01:44.provision in East Riding, and referred the matter
:01:45. > :01:49.have agreed with Sir Greg Knight and myself that it should be
:01:50. > :01:54.referred to the Secretary of State and he will pass it
:01:55. > :01:56.on to the independent reconfiguration panel to look
:01:57. > :02:01.Hospital bosses say more people will have better access to a better
:02:02. > :02:04.Campaigners disagree - but the crucial question is,
:02:05. > :02:09.what will Jeremy Hunt and his team of experts think?
:02:10. > :02:11.June Barton is one of those fighting to keep
:02:12. > :02:14.the Minor Injuries Unit at Hornsea open.
:02:15. > :02:16.Tonight, I asked her for her reaction to the news
:02:17. > :02:21.the Health Secretary would be looking at these plans.
:02:22. > :02:26.It's a day we didn't think would come but yes,
:02:27. > :02:33.This gives us light at the end of the tunnel and hope that these
:02:34. > :02:37.decisions will be reversed by the Secretary of State
:02:38. > :02:43.How do you feel that the CCG have acted over all in this?
:02:44. > :02:48.Well, the overwhelming opinion is that they have acted appallingly.
:02:49. > :02:56.Right from the very beginning of this so-called consultation,
:02:57. > :03:00.they had decided well before any of the stakeholder meetings this
:03:01. > :03:03.is what they wanted to do, so quite frankly what's the point
:03:04. > :03:06.of holding the consultation because we haven't been consulted.
:03:07. > :03:08.Any suggestions we put forward were always brushed aside.
:03:09. > :03:11.I believe you think they should resign?
:03:12. > :03:13.Oh, yes, certainly I do think they should resign.
:03:14. > :03:16.They haven't made a very good job of being a clinical
:03:17. > :03:20.But they have got to save money and if, as they say,
:03:21. > :03:22.only ten patients a day use the minor injury units
:03:23. > :03:38.in Hornsea and Withernsea, it's a waste of money to keep
:03:39. > :03:42.Well, do you know, the very first stakeholder meeting we had
:03:43. > :03:44.wasn't about money and yet they were quoting ?14
:03:45. > :03:49.They say only ten people per day use the minor injury unit,
:03:50. > :03:54.However, what these figures do not tell you is how many people
:03:55. > :03:56.presented themselves to the minor injury unit only to find it
:03:57. > :04:04.And it's never been adequately staffed.
:04:05. > :04:07.Do you feel that people in rural areas are getting
:04:08. > :04:10.a second-class service these days for is that the perception?
:04:11. > :04:22.I think if these plans go ahead and these areas don't
:04:23. > :04:25.have minor injuries, well, Withernsea will get
:04:26. > :04:27.demoted service you have to make an appointment for,
:04:28. > :04:29.that is a second-class health service and I think
:04:30. > :04:37.And finally, if you were sitting down tonight with Jeremy Hunt
:04:38. > :04:42.I would say to him these read carefully all the evidence we've put
:04:43. > :04:44.before you and let's have common sense prevailing, please,
:04:45. > :04:47.because the people in this area deserve far better.
:04:48. > :04:49.It's a National Health Service, it is not a collective health service.
:04:50. > :04:52.Very good to talk to you tonight, thank you very much indeed.
:04:53. > :05:05.The trial of a holiday park owner who was accused of mis-selling
:05:06. > :05:09.retirement chalets near Beverley collapsed this afternoon.
:05:10. > :05:11.William Flannigan was accused of selling holiday chalets
:05:12. > :05:14.at Lakeminster Park without planning permission to let people live
:05:15. > :05:18.But a judge at Hull Crown Court ruled today,
:05:19. > :05:26.after a nine week trial, that there was no case to answer.
:05:27. > :05:29.Plastic rubbish that ends up washed up on beaches on the East Coast
:05:30. > :05:31.will soon be collected and converted into new bottles.
:05:32. > :05:33.Environmental campaigners say plastic in our seas
:05:34. > :05:35.is damaging to marine life, but that now it will
:05:36. > :05:46.Our Environment Correspondent Paul Murphy has this report.
:05:47. > :05:48.Here in Cleethorpes, Jez is one of the hundreds
:05:49. > :05:50.of volunteers getting involved in Beach Clean Week.
:05:51. > :05:53.It's never-ending task as each tide brings in more rubbish.
:05:54. > :06:00.First of all we're trying to raise awareness of beach cleans and then
:06:01. > :06:06.We're looking to start to involve design for social change to try
:06:07. > :06:11.and get into people's minds to not have plastic or to recycle.
:06:12. > :06:15.The voluntary effort like this recent clean-up is considerable,
:06:16. > :06:19.but then so is the size of the problem.
:06:20. > :06:21.The scientific estimates are pretty sobering.
:06:22. > :06:25.There are now more than 5 trillion pieces of plastic in our oceans
:06:26. > :06:27.and by 2050, there will be more plastic in the seat than fish.
:06:28. > :06:32.That's why this packaging company in Portugal is trying
:06:33. > :06:38.Instead of using new plastic, they are using plastic waste
:06:39. > :06:45.East Coast litter will soon be recycled in this way.
:06:46. > :06:48.We started to wonder OK, we are making plastic bottles
:06:49. > :06:51.ourselves, so what can we actually do to start to become part
:06:52. > :06:56.of the solution to ocean plastic instead of being part
:06:57. > :07:01.The Ocean Bottle Project is also an awareness raising campaign.
:07:02. > :07:04.The design of the bottle takes its inspiration
:07:05. > :07:07.from the plankton that are being harmed by plastic waste.
:07:08. > :07:12.Due to the pollution of our oceans, the population of this tiny organism
:07:13. > :07:15.is reducing dramatically and the consequence of that is that
:07:16. > :07:19.if they disappeared, the overall marine ecosystem
:07:20. > :07:27.Up and down the coast, dedicated volunteers
:07:28. > :07:31.are doing their bit but longer term solutions aren't as simple.
:07:32. > :07:35.Changing attitudes to using and reusing plastics
:07:36. > :07:40.Paul is with me now - what difference will a few
:07:41. > :07:57.Well, it's part practical solution and part marketing campaign. The
:07:58. > :08:02.bottle project people want consumers to be more aware of what we are
:08:03. > :08:06.doing with our plastic, to recycle plastic bottles more, to ensure it
:08:07. > :08:10.does not go into landfill and out to the eventually but it is quite
:08:11. > :08:13.telling that it is now commercially viable to harvest waste from beaches
:08:14. > :08:18.and make them into bottles there's and make them into bottles there's
:08:19. > :08:21.change that is effected today will change that is effected today will
:08:22. > :08:25.make many years to feed through and have a airing on the amount of
:08:26. > :08:26.plastic in the sea. That is the depressing part about it but the
:08:27. > :08:28.message is that people can do message is that people can do
:08:29. > :08:30.something about it. Teachers are being offered an extra
:08:31. > :08:33.day off if they can't be bothered to work by a South Lincolnshire
:08:34. > :08:35.school that says it's It's called a "duvet day"
:08:36. > :08:39.and it's one of a series of extra incentives given
:08:40. > :08:41.at the Long Sutton Community Primary School to try to get
:08:42. > :08:44.people to work there. Earlier tonight I spoke to head
:08:45. > :08:47.teacher Bill Lord who says very few I don't think anybody can
:08:48. > :08:56.accuse our staff of slacking. It's looking after and making sure
:08:57. > :08:59.that ultimately I've got a full staff very September,
:09:00. > :09:00.which is so hard. Why is it so hard these days to get
:09:01. > :09:04.teachers to come to Lincolnshire? Good salary, good place
:09:05. > :09:08.to live, why is it so hard? Well, I mean, the major issue
:09:09. > :09:13.is that young teachers tend to train in cities and then they want
:09:14. > :09:16.the bright lights, they want to be able to go
:09:17. > :09:19.and the bands at the weekends and so they are moving
:09:20. > :09:27.to Peterborough, Nottingham and to Lincoln and it's hard to get
:09:28. > :09:30.them to come down to But in Long Sutton,
:09:31. > :09:34.a three-bedroom semi, Do you really need to offer more
:09:35. > :09:39.incentives and yet another day Yeah, I mean we have offered
:09:40. > :09:43.some fantastic jobs. We have offered interesting jobs
:09:44. > :09:46.such as research lead, we have offered management positions
:09:47. > :09:49.and we are averaging 0.8 And that included advertising
:09:50. > :09:55.nationally, advertising using innovative ways including
:09:56. > :09:57.using social media. We just can't get people to move
:09:58. > :10:06.to our area very easily. We will have some of your responses
:10:07. > :10:09.on that story tomorrow. Let's take a look at the weather now
:10:10. > :10:14.with Abbie Dewhurst. Well, plenty of fine, dry weather
:10:15. > :10:18.to be enjoyed this evening. Variable amounts of mostly low cloud
:10:19. > :10:21.initially and then we will start to see more cloud building
:10:22. > :10:24.from the north-west as we head Overnight temperatures ranging
:10:25. > :10:27.from about five to seven Celsius, so a fairly chilly start
:10:28. > :10:29.to the day tomorrow. I think we will see some initial
:10:30. > :10:32.brightness, particularly for the far Then a cloud amounts will increase
:10:33. > :10:36.and we could see the odd spot of light drizzle in the far west
:10:37. > :10:39.of the region. Temperatures tomorrow will be up
:10:40. > :10:48.at about 12 or 13 Celsius. That's it from us the night. Thank
:10:49. > :10:53.you for watching. We are back on BBC One at breakfast from 6:25am. I will
:10:54. > :11:01.be back on Wednesday at Look North. Take care, good night.
:11:02. > :11:04.bit from the south, so we could get to 18 or higher on Sunday. Now the
:11:05. > :11:15.national focus. Good evening, things are looking good in the next
:11:16. > :11:18.few days, some pressure drifting in from the Atlantic, bringing some
:11:19. > :11:22.finance settled with it. Just some questions about the amount of cloud
:11:23. > :11:25.we will see under that. The cloud we saw the sea links gave rise to a
:11:26. > :11:29.lovely sunsets are many areas. This is the view from one of our weather
:11:30. > :11:33.watchers in Cornwall. Look at the tones in the sky in Warwickshire
:11:34. > :11:41.this evening. Here is the satellite sequence which
:11:42. > :11:44.shows it was pretty gloomy on the eastern side of England. Not much
:11:45. > :11:47.rain, but a good swathe of sunshine for many early on. In the
:11:48. > :11:48.north-west, showers. Gusty wind as well, northern Scotland seeing
