The main stories tonight: Poor leadership, not enough staff

and inadequate care - experts step in to help run

hospitals in Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Goole.

We are very disappointed. It is not the level of care we want to

provide. We want to see trust improving and making sure those

walking through the doors of this organisation are receiving high

quality and save care. Traders tell Hull's council

they need compensation for over And the Boston MP defends

Join me for the details of a long weekend later in the programme.

Government experts have been called in to help run hospitals in Goole,

Scunthorpe and Grimsby after inspectors found inadequate

patient care and poor leadership among health bosses there.

An inspection highlighted significant concerns.

The trust responsible has been put into special measures

Our health correspondent Vicky Johnson reports.

Computer hackers, missing patient referrals and forecasts

Until today these were the main issues facing managers at Grimsby,

Now, though, the Northern Lincolnshire and Goole Trust has

been placed into special measures after inspectors highlighted

problems in urgent and emergency care, where patients were not

Outpatients, where too many clinics were being cancelled...

And maternity services, where there are concerns over

What we want to see is trusts improving and making sure that

people walking through the front doors of this organisation

are receiving safe, effective and high quality care.

So when that does not happen, we are always disappointed.

The trust was one of 11 placed in special measures in July 2013

as part of Sir Bruce Keogh's review into high death rates.

Hospital managers admit they are disappointed.

This is not the level of care we would like to provide.

It is a report that is disappointing to the executive and the board

but most importantly it will be disappointing to all of the staff

in our hospitals who have worked so hard to raise standards over

I think what we have got here is a real fatal state

of leadership in the hospital, we now need some certainty

about who is going to run the teams going forward,

we need to know that the hospital has an action plan.

And an action plan is what they have got.

They are being given lots of help, including peer support from another

health trust and direct hands-on advice from NHS experts.

A quality improvement director has also been appointed

to advise on the best way to run the organisation.

And there is also a full check on its finances.

Most of the patients we spoke to were happy with their treatment.

I had my son in hospital for one week and I cannot say bad

They are kind and everything like that.

Hospital managers have said they are getting the urgent help

they need to bring them out of special measures

Problems for one of our hospital trusts there, and tonight there's

problems at another, this time in Lincoln.

Well, they have been so sort of A doctors he had to declare an

internal critical incident. That means they were in danger of not

being able to provide safe services. Managers blame a recent change in

tax rules which means agency work is less attractive. Linkin relies on

agency Doctors. We have had to draft in doctors from other departments

plus rely on support from colleagues in Nottingham and Lester. The advice

is if you're not seriously ill or injured, stay away from A Thank

you very much indeed. Small traders in Hull city centre

want compensation for the disruption that has been caused

during the ongoing One shop owner has told BBC

Look North that it has been an absolute nightmare,

causing damage to their building The Federation of Small Businesses

wants the council to give people Our business correspondent

Leanne Brown reports. It's been two years since work

started to transform Hull city centre, and during that time some

business say takings have been down People have stopped coming

into the town centre because of all the people

and all of the barriers. And also the damage to the front

of the shop and the side of the shop, where the cement has

stuck to the paint, They are taking bits

of wood off and everything. When it is finished and will look

brilliant, I must admit. The footfall will begin

to come back again. The work is almost complete,

but one cafe owner says she won't see any of the benefit,

despite enduring the disruption... They have finished the paving

which is lovely in the square Sadly, it finishes here,

so we have a lovely wrap and then it goes on to this state

which looks absolutely dreadful. As you can see, we've got

a lovely new lamp post, which has been put in front

of my sign. Those that represent

small businesses are now As you can hear, it is fairly

chaotic and it has been like that any city centre

for the last two years. Many of our members have been really

adversely affected by these works and what we want

is to be fairly compensated. There is a mechanism

for the City Council to refund some of the rates

they have paid. The council says it will help

with any damage caused by the contractor and that

businesses have already had at least a 10% reduction

in their business rates. Those businesses in the city

centre have saved over Obviously, I have a little bit

of sympathy, but I think So far this year we have seen over

800,000 visitors to the city, now, that is a phenomenal increase

and compared with two, So, as the city centre

is transformed, it's hoped it An acid spill on a ferry travelling

to Hull caused part of the ship P say the hydrochloric acid leak

was minor and from a freight vehicle Fire engines met the ferry when it

arrived in Hull early this morning. Campaigners in Boston claim

they are going to learn self-defence classes

because Lincolnshire County Council Tonight, a meeting took place

in the town with residents angry The county council says it's

being done to save money and Lincolnshire Police say

there is no evidence of an increase I think the streetlights should be

put back on. It is so dark. I feel scared. I have put solar panel

lights up. You look out and cannot see across the road. It is scary. My

daughter was knocked into the ditch. A car speeding did not see her. The

road is not wide enough two cars. No pavement, Northern Lights

Matt Warman is the MP for Boston and Skegness.

After the meeting, I asked him whether the council is right

well, it is right to try to spend money as efficiently as we can. We

individually and what is the right individually and what is the right

policy for that. If it was a labour council doing this, you wouldn't be

taking this lying, you would be against us. But you are minded to

support the county council? This is not a party political matter.

Tonight, we saw the three main parties agree we should make

sensible decisions right for each area. A blanket approach is not

right. There are some areas where we can be more economical than others.

Those in the meeting were saying this is your government's fault. Do

you access that? We have to live within our means. When it comes to

an issue like streetlights, we have to make sure people feel safe and

asked a. It is right to say we will look at this again. The councillors

said he don't cut streetlights, they would have to cut something else. In

other words, they don't have enough money. They have already looked at

whether they made the right decision in another area. They will make the

right decision based on pop an area needs. It is bespoke and sensible.

There is evidence they should be changing the lights here. What about

the people learning self-defence in Boston. Are they going over the top?

It is not something I have heard. I think should look at crime figures

which are going down. People have the right to feel safe as well as be

safe. We have to take that into consideration as well. Thank you.

I have good news. Lots of fine weather to come over the next couple

of days. It looks warm over the weekend with temperatures more akin

to June or July. It will be chilly once again out there tonight. Fine

and dry. A bit of cloud filtering in other parts of Lincolnshire. Rural

temperatures could be cooler than this. A bit of a chilly start to the

day tomorrow. Dry and fine day with a good deal of through the day.

Staying fine, dry and bright into the afternoon with further spells of

sunshine. Temperature is doing quite well. Getting up to around 14-16 in

places. Dry air from the South. Very warm by day. By Sunday, we could

reach above 20 degrees. We are back at 6:25am.

Goodbye. Hello. There was some warm sunshine

around today, but it's set to get even warmer this weekend. 18 Celsius

in London this afternoon. This was the scene in Chiswick, much quieter

than it was on Sunday for the boat race. Under the cloud for example

here in Cumbria, temperatures struggled to make double figures.

Through the night we're going to hang onto a lot of cloud across

north-west England, North Wales, Northern Ireland and western

Scotland, where there will be a bit of drizzle on
