The woman in charge of children s services in Rotherham has rdsigned | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
after a report published last month revealed shocking levels of child | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
Joyce Thacker is leaving Rotherham Borough Council | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
immediately, following widespread calls for her to go. | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
It's the fourth high`profild resignation over the scandal, | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
It's over three weeks now shnce the report was published, rdvealing | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
the abuse and exploitation of at least 1,400 Rotherham chhldren. | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
Joyce Thacker had been in charge of children's services at | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
Rotherham Council since 2008 and the pressure on her was building, MPs on | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
the Home Affairs Select Comlittee, among those calling on her to go. | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
The perpetrators, did they not carry on raping children in Rotherham | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
No, please, answer the question ` they did or they didn?t? | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
She joins the council leader, chief executive and police | :01:05. | :01:27. | |
Four high`profile vacancies as Rotherham looks to rebuild | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
Next tonight, there've been calls for Yorkshire to | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
be given similar spending powers to those now being promised | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
Full independence was rejected by the Referendum Vote in Scotland. | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
The Prime Minister has promhsed greater powers for England, | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
Our political editor, Len Tingle reports. | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
So if Scotland has control over its own economy, what will that mean | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
So it follows that the people of England, Wales and Northern Ireland | :01:54. | :02:09. | |
And the timing could not be better for Yorkshire, with | :02:10. | :02:32. | |
Particularly with pictures of the Tour de France on television | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
And in comparison to Scotland, the population here is about the | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
So what does the public in Xorkshire want? | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
This was the population in Bradford today. | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
If they give the power to the people that are up here, | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
I think they'll be able to do more about it than the people in London. | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
Politicians spend too much loney at the moment anyway, | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
so I think probably it is not a good idea to set up anothdr | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
I think there might be some scope for some kind | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
of local bodies to vary tax`tion and raise taxation locally | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
There was just one Council of the North 350 years ago. | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
Today, at least four different Yorkshire | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
bodies might have chunks of power in any town or city across the county. | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
We have lots and lots of laxers of local government. | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
And how do we get that more streamlined and how do we gdt people | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
working between the different parts of Yorkshire? | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
The government has promised that now that the count is over, | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
they will start negotiating with the Scottish Parliament tod`y. | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
There must be plenty of voices in Yorkshire saying, | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
Speaking earlier on Look North, Stewart Arnold, | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
deputy leader of Yorkshire First, called for a regional parli`ment | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
while Peter Box, leader of Wakefield Council, disagreed. | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
If it was put to the people of Yorkshire now we might gdt | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
It makes no sense to have policy micro`managed from a desk | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
Stuart I don't think understands what people really think, | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
which is they don't want more politicians, they do not want | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
How many people would be in this Yorkshire Parliament? | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
Let's try and work with what we have got and it is working well so far, | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
In other news now, and a man has admitted killhng two | :04:08. | :04:11. | |

Police found their bodies in a house near the city centre | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
Brayford will be sentenced `t Leeds Crown Court in October. | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
South Yorkshire councils ard putting in more money to brhng high | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
Last year, the similar Digital Region project, collapsed h`ving | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
Now a new deal has been signed with BT and the project will be run | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
South Yorkshire will pay another ?7 million to try and achieve hts | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
original aim of getting 98% of homes fibre broadband by the end of 2 17. | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
Well, I think it has put us in a good position. | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
Without that investment, we wouldn't be where we are today. | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
Historically, South Yorkshire has always lagged behind. | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
We are always at the bottom of peoples' lists when it comes to | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
investment and infrastructure and what Digital Region did was drag | :05:00. | :05:01. | |

Gas mains are being replaced in the town centre and people have | :05:10. | :05:13. | |

The National Grid says the work is essential and once it's | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
completed, it won't have to be done again for another 80 years. | :05:20. | :05:30. | |

This is the time of year whdn the kids go back to school, the older | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
generation go on holiday and we can carry on with a good season well up | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
until Christmas to try and lake some money so that if we do have bad | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
weather January, February, we all got a bit of money in the b`nk. | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
The actor who played Boycie in Only Fools and Horses has offici`lly | :05:50. | :05:55. | |

and unveiled improvements to the Pomegranate Theatre and | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
The work was funded by the Arts Council and Chesterfield | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
