Scunthorpe : Baths Hall Challenge Groups Challenge ‘Least Romantic Town’ In The Uk
The Baths Hall in Scunthorpe has challenged a report which declared Scunthorpe as the ‘least romantic town’ in the UK. Hotels.com today released a survey which suggested the town was the least romantic in the country. But The Baths Hall – which hosts one of the most romantic love stories Romeo & Juliet by The Moscow City Ballet on Valentine’s Day – has challenged The Daily Mail and Hotels.com to visit the town and see how romantic its residents can be. The Moscow City Ballet make their return to Scunthorpe next week for two performances of Romeo & Juliet and two of The Sleeping Beauty. The performances run for four nights and, ironically, start on Valentine’s Day next Thursday. After reading the Hotels.com survey and The Daily Mail report, staff at The Baths Hall have invited both groups to see Scunthorpe’s romantic residents for themselves. Dan Harris, General Manager of The Baths Hall, said: “What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than by coming to Scunthorpe to see Romeo & Juliet performed by the world renowned Moscow City Ballet? We’re so confident both Hotels.com and The Daily Mail will change their perception of Scunthorpe’s supposedly unromantic residents, we’ve invited them…

Respect Process Continues To Help Reduce Re-Offending Among The Young
The respect process in North Lincolnshire continues to help reduce the number of young people who re offend across the area. The Respect Programme, which was introduced in 2010 provides an alternative to issuing a formal reprimand and avoids the young person having a criminal record and aims to prevent young people under 18 years-old re-offending. Key offences include shop theft, criminal damage, assault and public order. Figures show that re-offending rates have fallen from 27% in 2009 to just 4% in 2012. Sgt James Main from Humberside Police said: “In 2012 we processed the highest number of young peoplethrough the scheme which was 104 and the re offend was the lowest it has been coming in at 4.8%. In total we have seen 255 young people processed since January 2010. “The process has been such a success that in November last year it won national recognition by winning theYouth Justice award at the ‘Shine A Light’ Award ceremony. This indicates just how successful the project has been from both a local and national perspective. “Respect, was also recognised at the Chief Constables Performance Awards in October 2012. “The Respect process is very much a partnership initiative and myself and representatives from North Lincolnshire Council Youth Offending Team, North Lincolnshire Magistrate’s Court,…

Minimum Pricing The Wrong Way Forward
Minimum pricing for alcohol will hurt sensible drinkers and do nothing to curb binge drinking and resultant health problems, said MEP Godfrey Bloom today. “Imposing a minimum 45 p per unit will be a blow for the majority of moderate drinkers in this country who just like a quiet drink at home. But it will not tackle the problem it is designed to solve. “And I find it bizarre that David Cameron, who generally falls over backwards to do as our masters in Brussels demand, is ploughing on with this scheme despite it being illegal under EU laws,” said Mr Bloom, UKIP Euro-MP for Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire. “What they are doing is imposing their will on us in the name of it being in our best interests, which invariably means less freedom and higher costs. “I am all in favour of ending loss-leader discounting in supermarkets and off licences which has played a significant role in the downfall of our pub industry and it would be nice to think it might mean more people going back to them. “But those who just like to have a glass of wine or two with their meal or a couple of cans…
