For years, the land around Brigg's train station has been

:00:08.:00:11.

a magnet for fly tippers and campaigners say it's putting

:00:12.:00:14.

Now the council wants to develop the land but traders at the local

:00:15.:00:21.

Visitors arriving in Brigg by train are greeted by this.

:00:22.:00:28.

The land around the station has been left empty for years.

:00:29.:00:33.

If you go into town, it's a jewel, if you like,

:00:34.:00:38.

Trains only stop here on a Saturday, but campaigners hoping to improve

:00:39.:00:44.

rail services say visitors are being put off by flytipping

:00:45.:00:46.

The council says it's aware of the problems,

:00:47.:00:53.

Plans have been put forward to build apartments for older people here.

:00:54.:00:58.

However, the land is also home to a weekly market which would have

:00:59.:01:01.

Buyers and traders have been coming here for over a decade

:01:02.:01:07.

and while they welcome the upgrade, there's concern there won't be

:01:08.:01:10.

There is a lot of worry, a lot of worry, because nobody knows

:01:11.:01:16.

at the moment just exactly where the market is going to go.

:01:17.:01:20.

To build it and make it look nice for people getting off

:01:21.:01:23.

I think they should do something with it but I think they should

:01:24.:01:27.

The market is what brings people into Brigg on a Thursday.

:01:28.:01:31.

The council says the redeveloment is greatly needed and is hoping

:01:32.:01:34.

We did quite an extensive consultation with residents.

:01:35.:01:37.

They took the view that the market is an incredibly

:01:38.:01:40.

Relocating it to the top end of the site will give buyers

:01:41.:01:46.

the opportunity to build the old people's apartments,

:01:47.:01:48.

which we know we need to, while at the same time acknowledging

:01:49.:01:51.

If approved, it may take several years to complete the work.

:01:52.:01:55.

In the meantine, the council says it will crack down

:01:56.:01:57.

A farm machinery company is to close its site in Sleaford.

:01:58.:02:05.

The American-owned Great Plains Manufacturing

:02:06.:02:07.

blames a downturn in the worldwide agricultural economy.

:02:08.:02:10.

Operations at the Sleaford site will be phased out by early next year.

:02:11.:02:13.

It's not known how many jobs will be affected.

:02:14.:02:19.

Most people, when they were at school, may have made their own key

:02:20.:02:22.

rack or coffee table, but teenagers in Goole have

:02:23.:02:24.

taken it one step further by making their own aeroplane.

:02:25.:02:27.

This weekend, they've been at an airfield near Scunthorpe

:02:28.:02:29.

where they could all fly in it for the first time.

:02:30.:02:32.

It takes design and technology classes to new heights.

:02:33.:02:40.

The Spirit of Goole is getting her preflight checks.

:02:41.:02:42.

It's been built by teenagers, but you shouldn't feel

:02:43.:02:44.

Loads of people telling us it's going to crash but,

:02:45.:02:52.

with it being built by kids, it's been inspected a lot more

:02:53.:02:55.

vigorously, so it's actually in better condition than a lot

:02:56.:02:57.

A beautiful day to gaze down upon the North Lincolnshire countryside.

:02:58.:03:04.

You're going along the runway, pick up speed

:03:05.:03:07.

Today, you'll be able to see for miles.

:03:08.:03:12.

A bit nippy even though it's quite warm today, but it was great.

:03:13.:03:15.

When you're first getting in, you're quite nervous.

:03:16.:03:17.

You do calm down and you really enjoy and relax and you switch off

:03:18.:03:20.

and focus on the plane and as soon as you land, you want to go again.

:03:21.:03:24.

It's also an emotional time for all the pilots,

:03:25.:03:28.

aircraft inspectors and aviation enthusiasts

:03:29.:03:29.

I've known some of them from the age of 12, when they were this big

:03:30.:03:34.

and now they're actually taller than me.

:03:35.:03:35.

They've gone from youngsters with little or no expectations

:03:36.:03:38.

to youngsters that know that they can achieve anything

:03:39.:03:40.

The plan now is for more fundraising so another set of children can help

:03:41.:03:48.

take care of the Spirit of Goole and maybe build a second aircraft

:03:49.:03:51.

The only way onto the site will be via a shuttle bus, which people

:04:09.:04:13.

Well, it has been another beautiful day, but will it last?

:04:14.:04:18.

Things are going to turn much cooler overnight tonight.

:04:19.:04:24.

You can see this cloud bringing the odd bit of drizzle.

:04:25.:04:27.

That's the cold front sinking down towards the south-east.

:04:28.:04:29.

Clear skies to follow so temperatures will take

:04:30.:04:31.

These are our lows in towns and cities.

:04:32.:04:34.

A chilly start to the day tomorrow, a much cooler feeling day but plenty

:04:35.:04:37.

A bit more in the way of cloud in the afternoon, bringing short,

:04:38.:04:43.

Temperatures are up to 12 or 13 Celsius.

:04:44.:04:51.

Good evening. Was it spring or summer today? They crushed and some

:04:52.:05:16.

of you may have been asking. A beautiful day across much of
