Good evening. First tonight ` Look the papers on | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
Good evening. First tonight ` Look North has learned that the | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
controversial traffic ban on Lendal Bridge in York will be liftdd on | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
Saturday. Fines of over ?1 lillion have been issued since the ban on | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
general traffic was introduced. But York City Council Leader Jales | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
Alexander says he's listened to the concerns of business and thd public. | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
We'll hear from him in a molent but first Spencer Stokes looks `t the | :00:32. | :00:38. | |
background to the story. The restrictions were introduced in | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
August last year. For bus journeys journeys were speeded up th`t cars | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
have faced long diversions. Last week the Independent adjudicator | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
said the council may have acted I'm loftily so finds are not behng | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
issued. But the penalties could be issued at a later date. Motorists | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
say they are confused. Now the cameras are on and you may or not | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
receive a fine. It is not jtst York residents having to content with the | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
rules. Visitors to the city also have to work out if he can or cannot | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
drive across Lendal Bridge. In total, ?1.3 million has been raised | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
by the council 's `` by the cameras but the net gain to the council is | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
only ?700,000. The council has received independent legal `dvice | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
saying they have not acted hllegally will stop at meetings with lawyers | :01:43. | :01:51. | |
have been taking place will stop IM joined now by council leader James | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
Alexander. This is embarrassing at the | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
council. Why are you scrapphng it? We always said this was a trial The | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
results we have looked that she there has been an increase hn bus | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
patronage. Air quality has hmproved. Hotel accommodation has acttally | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
increased during the period. We have to act knowledge this has bden a | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
polarising issue and a lot of people feel they are unhappy with their | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
restriction so we do need to build consensus. The challenges are not | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
going to go away and therefore we think it is right that from Saturday | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
we reopen the bridge and be set up a cross`party commission to look at | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
the challenges. Is this anything to do with the advice from an | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
independent adjudicator? No, the signage was approved by the | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
Department of Transport `` this is about the public feedback and | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
feedback from businesses and residents. We have listened and we | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
have taken that into account and we do need to build that consensus | :03:01. | :03:08. | |
Thousands of people have bedn fined, will they get a refund? No, we're | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
going to the adjudicator. The money goes into road repairs and so on. | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
This has not been about gendrating income. If you go on Lendal Bridge | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
tomorrow you may get a fine but from Saturday you want? My devicd would | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
be not to go across to moral but on Saturday. My advice would bd that | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
the fines should be waived because there has been some confusion. | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
The Government says it will announce within 48 hours whether it can help | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
to delay the closure of two pits in our region. 1400 jobs will go with | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
the closure of Kellingley colliery in North Yorkshire and Thordsby in | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
Nottinghamshire. It's feared the pits could close within weeks but an | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
injection of around ?10 million could mean a managed rundown over 18 | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
months. It's claimed rural businessds in | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
some parts of Yorkshire are struggling to survive because of the | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
slow roll`out of superfast broadband. The Conservative MP for | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
Harrogate and Knaresborough, Andrew Jones, led a debate in Parlhament on | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
the issue today. He says many rural businesses still don't have fast | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
connections and they're being left behind. | :04:20. | :04:28. | |
The Italian businessman, Massimo Cellino, has completed his takeover | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
of Leeds United. His companx, Eleonora Sport, has bought 75% of | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
the shares. It follows his succesful appeal against the Football League's | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
ban on the deal. They said he wasn't fit to run a league club. Mr Cellino | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
arrived at Watford's Vicarage Road ground tonight for the game against | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
Leeds. He's been telling us what he thinks of Leeds fans and thd fans | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
have been saying what they think of him. I hope finally to get two Leeds | :04:54. | :05:05. | |
safe after a difficult trip. We have the match tonight. To drive to my | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
new town. The fans are something you can not organise. They have it finds | :05:13. | :05:23. | |
and the beautiful stadium. H think it is a great step forward for the | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
club. The years of uncertainty, I think this hopefully will bd the | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
stability we are looking for. Let's hope it is on an upward scale now. | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
Within a couple of years we will be back in the Premiership, whdre they | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
should be. If he can put sole money into the club and if we havd a | :05:44. | :05:53. | |
manager, if he can have the summer to build a team then we can look | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
forward to next season. Well, there's certainly not much to | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
shout about this season for Leeds. They were well beaten tonight, going | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
down 3`0 nil at Watford. It was an important night for Barnslex in | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
their battle against relegation Things are looking desperatd for the | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
Tykes, they went down 1`0 at home to Burnley, leaving them second from | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
bottom. Doncaster went down 2`1 at home to Bolton and there was another | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
defeat for Huddersfield, thhs time at the hands of Ipswich. Shdffield | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
Wednesday were 3`1 up at Nottingham Forest but had to settle for a | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
point. And in the South Yorkshire derby in League One it finished | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
Sheffield United one Rotherham zero. Rotherham stay in third. | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
Here's the weather. It is not looking too bad for | :06:29. | :06:43. | |
tomorrow. It should stage I. High pressure in charge. Cloud whll | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
increase later tonight and there could be some patchy rain. Lowest | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
temperatures coming in at shx Celsius. Much more cloud around to | :06:56. | :07:05. | |
moral and some patchy rain. The cloud should break up from time to | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
time, particularly in the afternoon. Temperatures a degree or so higher, | :07:12. | :07:19. | |
13 or 14 Celsius. There looks set to be bright but it will cloud over. A | :07:20. | :07:27. | |
bit damp on Thursday night but Friday and Saturday look mostly fine | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
with some sunshine. I will leave you with a | :07:32. | :07:32. | |
with some sunshine. I will leave you with a summary. | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
on the other side of the world. As you have been hearing, there is not | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
a great deal happening in the you have been hearing, there is not | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
weather over the UK over the next couple of days. | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
Meanwhile, we have been attacked thing -- tracking an active spring | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
storm in the US. There have been reports of flash flooding and | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
tornadoes. You can see a narrowband which is weakening and heading out | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
to the Atlantic. It is the Atlantic tonight that will pick up whether | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
funds to the north of the UK, bringing with them or cloud and | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
outbreaks of rain. Meanwhile, pressure remains relatively high to | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
the south. There is a small chance of patchy mist and fog and low cloud | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
by the end of the night. But temperatures | :08:19. | :08:19. |
