Welcome to Look North. news teams where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The main news from around Yorkshire today: A ?50 million factory and 200 | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
jobs for South Yorkshire as supercar manufacturer Mclaren roll into town. | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
De-cluttering York's medieval streets. | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
The council cracks down on advertising boards on the pavements. | :00:16. | :00:30. | |
The luxury supercar manufacturer McLaren has officially announced | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
this lunchtime it's going to build a ?50 million | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
factory in South Yorkshire, creating 200 jobs. | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
The factory will build parts for the supercars at the University | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
Our Business Correspondent Danni Hewson reports. | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
These beauties behind me are exactly the | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
ones that here in South Yorkshire we are going to be helping make to | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
That is because McLaren have announced a ?50 million investment | :01:04. | :01:16. | |
in building chassis and I'm joined now by the Chief Executive, | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
We looked long and hard about where we were going to | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
develop this facility and Sheffield really was the obvious answer to it | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Sheffield University have done a huge amount | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
of work on advanced lightweight structures, that is what our cars | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
The City Council have been amazingly supportive in putting this together. | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
The University, ourselves and the City Council. | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
There is also a great pool of skilled people here that we can | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
We have put the whole thing together. | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
Sheffield actually became the obvious answer for us. | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
We talked a lot in the past about engineering, | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
With these cars it must make a difference in | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
how particularly kids think about it. | :01:54. | :01:54. | |
I don't think there is a young person or a young | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
boy in the world who isn't attracted by cars like this. | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
I have spent 34 years in the automotive and an manufacturing | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
industry and I love it and it is exciting. | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
Particularly exciting when this is the fruit | :02:12. | :02:12. | |
I think it is inspirational for people. | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
They have amazingly already recruited their first apprentice. | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
An advert for more jobs will be running in the paper tomorrow | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
and the first prototype will be coming off the lines | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
The steel giant Tata Steel UK has announced that it's reached | :02:26. | :02:35. | |
an agreement with the Liberty House group to sell its Speciality Steels | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
The sale covers several South Yorkshire-based plants | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
including the electric arc steelworks and bar mill | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
at Rotherham, the steel purifying facility in Stocksbridge and a mill | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
The funeral is taking place this lunchtime of a 16-year | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
old girl who was murdered in South Yorkshire last month. | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
Leonne Weeks' body was found on a path in Dinnington near Rotherham. | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
18-year-old Peter Heeley has been charged with her murder. | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
The funeral service is at St Leonard's church. | :03:05. | :03:15. | |
The service in church I put together with Leona's family. | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
She loved music and that is going to be represented | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
strongly in the service, both by recorded music and by her friend | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
singing, which is I think a lovely thing for him to do. | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
Latest figures show that all the hospital trusts | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
in our region failed to meet the government's A target | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
in December with the exception of Sheffield Children's Hospital. | :03:36. | :03:43. | |
Guidelines say that 95% of patients should be | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
The figures released by NHS England show that the Mid Yorkshire Trust | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
only managed 77% of patients in that time, while Leeds Teaching Hospitals | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
Officers from North Yorkshire Police Road Crime team had a busy night. | :03:54. | :04:05. | |
They spotted a four by four with false number | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
plates towing this generator using a flimsy strap. | :04:09. | :04:21. | |
One wheel fell off, causing these sparks. | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
Police pursued the vehicle along the A19 at Askham when the generator | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
finally slipped its moorings as it went off-road. | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
They haven't yet arrested anyone in connection with the incident, | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
but are appealing for anyone with information to come forward. | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
Officials will discuss more than 80 recommendations made in a report | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
More than 600 homes and businesses were badly affected | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
Councillors say they've already got an action plan | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
and will meet later to talk about what else they | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
York City Council has claimed its ban on pavement | :04:46. | :04:54. | |
It's a year-long trial and the council says the city's | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
streets have seen a marked decrease in just the first week. | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
The ban is an attempt to de-clutter the ancient narrow streets. | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
But some shops owners say it could harm their trade. | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
Here's Ian Reeve our business correspondent. | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
Gillygate, home to some of York's quirkiest shops. | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
He advertises his gaming business with a board on the | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
But the council has banned them from the city. | :05:19. | :05:29. | |
Removing so called A boards will give pedestrians a | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
The first few months I was here, I'd say 90% of the people that | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
came into the shot came in because they saw my A board. | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
This street that we are on, Gillygate, is not | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
In a very narrow, so you wouldn't want to walk down here | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
unless something dragged your attention. | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
You know, A boards are the cheapest way to get people's | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
The council said the ban is a year-long trial to de-clutter | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
I don't think it's anti-business, at all. | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
I think we don't want to prevent businesses, we | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
We are doing lots of things in the city to | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
And I can see why they would say that, but the A boards can be | :06:13. | :06:24. | |
We're working with the planning authority purely and simply to make | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
sure that we help them as much as we possibly can. | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
For Diane, the ban has been long awaited. | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
As it has by York's estimated total of 6,000 | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
When you have got limited vision, it is | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
Particularly in areas where there is not just | :06:40. | :06:53. | |
street cafes, there are binbags, there are benches. | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
Any number of different things that you can bump | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
A boards are something that we can do something about. | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
Thankfully, the council has decided to do that. | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
A week in, and the council says the ban is working. | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
Keep the advertising board ban, says Lee, and there will | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
It's happy birthday today for a very special Yorkshirewoman who's reached | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
Doreen Brigham wrote the words for the BBC's specially commissioned | :07:26. | :07:34. | |
Symphony for Yorkshire when she was only 98. | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
She worked with hundreds of musicians at nearly 50 | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
locations in the county to produce a remarkable legacy of music. | :07:39. | :07:49. | |
Happy birthday. We were promised the beast from the east, look what has | :07:50. | :08:00. | |
rocked in. New suit, love? I saw the man in McLaren. It has been thick | :08:01. | :08:09. | |
enough to produce a few wintry flurries. This little disturbance | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
might make showers more frequent. Covering of snow. Rain and sleet | :08:14. | :08:22. | |
more likely. It is cold out there. A few flurries. Temperatures | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
struggling. 0 Celsius. Maximum temperature we are expecting first | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
short period of time. That is 37 Fahrenheit. Heading through this | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
evening and overnight, cloudy skies continue with a scattering of light | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
snow flows. A bit of sleet with them. Untreated services with | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
temperatures generally speaking at or below freezing point. Friday is a | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
broad day again. A cloudy one with a scattering of mainly like to sleet | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
and snow showers. The emphasis is still on a great deal of dry | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
weather. Those showers become more frequent. Friday night into Saturday | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
morning. Rain, sleet and hill snow coming into Saturday morning. Sunday | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
through early next week, temperatures will gradually will | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
ride and by the middle of next week, it should be some what milder. That | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
is the forecast. Lovely. Right. All is to sell a few more motors and | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
some patio doors. Stop it! That is it from us. Steve later. | :09:30. | :09:44. | |
