Police 'growing increasingly concerned' for missing man who left home in Grimsby after a disagreement

Police are growing increasingly concerned for a man missing from his home address in Grimsby after fears he may harm himself.

Jamie Paddison, 32, of South Wold Crescent in Scartho, was last seen by his family at 10.30am today (Friday).

Police said he left following a disagreement and has not been seen since. 

The police helicopter has been involved in the search.

A spokesperson said: "He has inferred he intends to harm himself and there is concern for his wellbeing as he is known to be in a depressed state of mind."

Jamie is described as white, 6ft tall, with a broad build, and mousey brown hair cut in a short back and sides style. He has tattoos on his arm.

When last seen he was wearing blue jogging bottoms, a black coat and white Lacoste trainers.

Police inquiries have been ongoing throughout the day in an effort to find Jamie but he remains missing and police are concerned for his welfare, particularly given the cold weather.

Jamie, or anyone who knows where he is, or who thinks they may have seen him since this morning, is asked to contact Humberside Police on the non emergency number 101 referring to log 195 of January 30.

Retailers already interested in revamped Dolphin Hotel site in Cleethorpes

THE consortium of private investors behind the Dolphin Hotel regeneration plan, given a boost by this week's successful Central Cleethorpes Regeneration Programme grant funding, already have interest from new retailers to the resort.

Saxondale Properties is the development group behind the proposal, and the confidence it has brought is clear.

Andrew Butcher, of Saxondale, said: "We're delighted with the announcement. These funds will help to bring about a transformational development in the heart of Cleethorpes and we are proud to be part of it.

"Over recent weeks we have made significant progress in bringing forward our proposed scheme and the statement from Lord Newby helps us even further."

Lawrence Brown, managing partner at Scotts, is the professional adviser to the group, and has fronted the previous attempts to initiate the development, subsequently thwarted by the economic downturn. He has welcomed the gap funding that will be provided to accelerate a mixed-use proposal, as well as the near neighbour site of the former bingo hall in Grant Street, described as pivotal locations in the resort's "golden loop".


Some traders have expressed concerns over the planned new housing and retail outlets in Cleethorpes - see what they had to say on our new website cleethorpespeople.co.uk

Complementary investment proposals by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the council to promote the restoration and reuse of historic buildings and improve the quality of public spaces could also be forthcoming, opening up the proposal to pedestrianise Sea View Street, a thriving hive of independent retail.

"We are now talking about the best way to move forward so it meets the requirements of Cleethorpes, in terms of aesthetic and social presence, and the regulatory framework with North East Lincolnshire Council, in terms of the type of development, and indeed what the developer requires, too," said Mr Brown.

"We are already in discussion with some new occupiers, retailers who would be new to Cleethorpes, seeking new buildings."

The Dolphin Hotel is a locally listed building, and part of a conservation area, something the team is acutely aware of.

The hotel itself could lend itself to a sympathetic conversion into flats, with much of the single-storey curved shops not thought fit for purpose in the long term.

While the big picture seems positive, existing traders on short-term leases have expressed concern, despite the apparent clarity. In July 2010 Business Telegraph reported how ten vacant units had been let on the proviso that the developers were awaiting a better climate to regenerate, initially to September 2012 and subsequently extended.

The site, excluding the licensed establishments to the front, was bought from Mitchells And Butlers by an element of the consortium as the economy boomed.

Best known as The Dolphin and The Carousel, and later Flares, then Reflex and Vibe, the last drinks were supped over Christmas before those premises, too, hit the market.

Addressing concerns voiced by traders, Mr Brown said: "The Dolphin Hotel site has always been identified as a redevelopment project and there has been extensive publicity around it, both before the recession and since.

"All the occupants of all the current shops are aware of the longer-term plan to redevelop the site, and that includes the shops themselves, and the car park area, and even looking at how the Dolphin Hotel fits in to any development as well."

Harry Scott faces prison sentence after being found guilty of manslaughter of Richard Woods in Louth

HARRY Scott has been warned he faces jail after he was found guilty of the manslaughter of former Grimsby man Richard Woods.

Scott stood with his head down and wept in the dock as the jury foreman delivered the verdict at the end of a three-week trial.

The jury of five women and seven men took just under four hours to reach their verdict at Lincoln Crown Court yesterday.

Scott, 23, of Ramsgate, Louth, had denied the manslaughter of 32-year-old Mr Woods on January 12 last year.

Judge Stuart Rafferty QC adjourned sentence to allow for the preparation of probation and psychiatric reports on Scott.

The Judge granted bail to Scott telling him: "Loss of liberty I think is inevitable."

He added: "I don't know what the sentence on you will be. The court requires as much assistance as it can to pass the proper sentence.

"As a matter of common sense there is no sentence that the court can pass that can bring Richard Woods back to life or can for a moment begin to assuage the grief the family feels."

Nicholas Woods, Richard's brother, speaking on behalf of the family, said: "We are pleased with the verdict of the jury.

"This has been a very difficult experience for us all but we would like to say a big thank you to Lincolnshire Police for their help and support throughout the investigation and trial."

During the trial Adrienne Lucking QC, prosecuting, told the jury that Scott unlawfully imprisoned Richard Woods in the loft of Mr Woods' home in Spring Terrace, Louth, by raising the connecting ladder and securing it so that it could not be lowered.

Richard Woods, described as a shy and vulnerable man, attempted to climb between two of the ladder steps and became trapped. Scott then repeatedly struck him with a length of wood rather than attempt to free him and he subsequently died as a result of asphyxiation.

Mrs Lucking said "Richard Woods was in his loft. He had a computer up there.

"The loft is accessed by means of a wooden ladder. The defendant trapped him in that loft. Using the loft ladder he pulled it up by the pulley system and secured it to the stair post. There was no way for Richard Woods to release himself.

"This was no schoolboy prank. It was bullying by the defendant at the end of a course of bullying.

"Richard Woods tried to escape by climbing down between the steps of the ladder and he was left hanging in a position which ultimately proved to be fatal.

"The defendant didn't help him whilst he was hanging there in the process of asphyxiation. What he did was pick up a piece of wood and strike Richard Woods to the side of his body repeatedly."

"If you carry out an unlawful act and someone dies as a result you are responsible for their death in law. That is manslaughter. That is what happened in this case."

The men had spent much of the evening drinking together in pubs and a night club in Louth before Richard Woods returned alone to his terraced home. Scott turned up in the early hours looking for a bed for the night and the incident that led to Richard's death followed soon afterwards.

Scott did not give evidence from the witness box but the jury heard interviews in which he claimed to have simply found the body.

He denied trapping Richard Woods in the loft and tying up the ladder to prevent his escape and said he cut down a rope securing the ladder when he found his body and raised the alarm.

Senior Investigating Officer, DCI Martin Holvey, said: "Scott had the opportunity to help him but he failed to do so until it was too late.

"Indeed, not only did he leave Richard in extreme danger but the prosecution case was that he inflicted one final act of abuse by beating him repeatedly in those last few moments.

"Richard's family have had to face the anguish of losing him in such dreadful circumstances as well as a lengthy court trial and I hope the verdict will help as they come to terms with their loss."

Ollie Palmer confident of Grimsby Town title tilt

OLLIE Palmer says there is no reason why Grimsby Town can't win the Conference title this season.

The frontman now knows that he will be with the Mariners until the end of the campaign, after extending his loan deal from Mansfield Town.

And his belief is unwavering that Town can catch leaders Barnet and challengers Bristol Rovers and be the ones lifting the title come April.

Ahead of this afternoon's visit of Telford (3pm), he said: "I'm very pleased to get it all sorted. It's a great football club to be at and we're looking up at the minute, so I wanted to be a part of that.

"I said all along that if it was working out, I'd never see a reason why I'd want to walk away from that.

"Everything that has happened to me since arriving here has been amazing and it's a feeling that I've missed to be honest.

"The fans have been incredible to me and it means an awful lot to have that support behind me. I'm smiling in training and smiling in the games – I've got a buzz back for the game and I'm really grateful for the opportunity that the gaffer has given me here."

He added: "There's no recall clause and that's important to me.

"I wanted to give 110 per cent to Grimsby and I didn't want it taken away from me overnight and be called back.

"I'm here until the end of the season now and I want promotion – it's going to be an exciting few months!

"I fully believe we can get promoted and that top spot is in reach. We've got to play Barnet and Bristol with a game in hand, so it's there to be done. We can put the pressure on the teams above us so I'll be doing everything for us to do that.

"It's one game at a time though, and we've got Telford this afternoon and we've got to focus on that."

'Mindless' vandals smash windscreen of vital emergency First Responder vehicle in Grimsby

VANDALS who smashed the windscreen of a First Responder vehicle could have cost lives.

That was the warning from Dave Rudderham, 36, whose emergency vehicle was badly damaged after vandals put a brick through his windscreen in Cromwell Road, Grimsby.

It meant that Dave, who works as a community first responder for East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS), was unable to respond to call-outs for three days while the windowscreen was being replaced.

Dave, who lives in Louth, said in a job where time is vital, an attack like this could have cost lives.

He said: "My opinion of these people is they are waste of space and the oxygen they steal could be put to better use.

"A brick was put through my windscreen in what can only be described as an act of blatant and pointless vandalism.

"Winter is our busiest time and this attack has put myself and my vehicle out of action.

"This could have cost lives because if someone was to have a heart attack around the corner from me, they would have to wait for the ambulance, and with something like a heart attack, every second counts."


POLL: Is enough done to tackle the vandals?

The timing of the vandalism – between 1am and 8.50am on Sunday – couldn't have been any worse for the First Responder team, whose vehicles are all-weather and will likely be called out to more and more incidents in the current cold and snowy weather.

Dave, who is a bus driver by day, is a volunteer responder for the Lincolnshire Community Assistance Team (LCAT)

He added: "LCAT formed a Community First Response team to respond in all weathers at the request of EMAS.

"It meant a 4x4 designed to handle snow, deep water and remote locations was unable to respond to a call-out."

Steve Pratten, operational support manager at EMAS, could not hide his disappointment after hearing the news.

"I am very disappointed with this mindless act of vandalism," he said.

"It is a vehicle that responds to life-threatening scenarios as a community responder, but it was forced off the road which could have put lives at risk.

"It is very disappointing to see acts like this. First Responders perform a vital role within the community and, in many cases, they are often the first at the scene before an ambulance arrives."

A spokesperson for Humberside Police said: "We had a report of criminal damage to a vehicle parked close to a property in Cromwell Road, Grimsby. The vehicle, a black Cherokee Jeep, had the front windscreen shattered – it is thought by an object being thrown at it between 1am and 8.50am on Sunday.

"Anyone with information is requested to call police on 101 quoting crime reference number AA/2093563/2015."

Hurst: No change with the situations of Grimsby Town's Aswad Thomas and Scott Neilson

$

GRIMSBY Town boss Paul Hurst insists that there has been no fall out with Scott Neilson – but admitted the winger is unlikely to be involved today.

Neilson was once again absent from the matchday squad as Town recorded a 1-0 win at Eastleigh in midweek.

And the boss admits he is unlikely to make too many changes to the 16 – meaning the former Crawley man is unlikely to be involved against Telford this afternoon (3pm).

However, he was quick to quash rumours that there had been any fall-out between the pair, saying the 27-year-old simply needs to train more in order to force his way back into the side.

"We've only trained for a couple of days and the other lads are ahead of him at this moment in time," he said.

"We're getting results and I'll need to see more of Scott on the training ground before he can force himself back into contention.

"We did well at Eastleigh and we haven't picked up any injuries so I don't expect there to be too many changes to the squad."

Asked if there were any doubts over Neilson's future at Town, Hurst replied: "No. He's the same as a few lads in the squad at the minute. Paul Walker's not involved, neither is Caine Winfarrah – there's been various players over the course of the season that haven't been involved.

"He's only really trained for three days having had an illness and then an injury.

"As I've said before, Scott is one of those that needs to be training to get the best out of him and he hasn't done that all that much of late.

But there's certainly been no falling out between us."

Meanwhile, Hurst confirmed that there has been no change in the situation surrounding Aswad Thomas, who was signed off for a month due to stress.

The boss continued: "Nothing's changed with Aswad's situation – he's still off for that month and there's a bit to run on that yet.

"Aswad knows the situation but for the minute, he's off at the minute with an illness and that's where we're at.

"I don't know if there are any clubs interested in him.

"Mutually cancelling his contract is something we've spoken about and it's with him.

"But the problem at the minute is that he's not able to come to work so it's difficult to have that dialogue."

Man 'snapped' and threw cat from window of third floor flat in Immingham

A MAN laughed after throwing his cat out of a third-floor window in a fit of rage after it urinated on him.

Sean Wilkinson, 20, opened the window of his top-floor flat in Immingham and flung the one-year-old cat nearly 24ft to the ground below.

A neighbour saw him walk out of the block of flats laughing and later pick up the pet, called Luna and suggest the neighbour let his dog out to have a go at it.

Wilkinson, formerly of Aylesby House, Immingham, admitted causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal on October 22 last year.

At Grimsby Magistrates' Court, the accused, who turns 21 tomorrow, was banned from keeping cats for ten years and ordered to do 300 hours of unpaid work. The RSPCA had requested magistrates ban him from keeping any pets.

But the court heard Wilkinson's mum, who is a veterinary nurse, keeps a dog and a cat at home, where her son now lives.

She wept in the back of the court as magistrates imposed the ban on keeping cats which means she will have to find a new home for her kitten.

Wilkinson was also ordered to pay vets' fees and costs totalling around £2,500, which he will pay off at £20 per week.

In court, prosecutor, Rachel Taylor, told how witness, Jack Gardener, saw an object being thrown from the top-floor flat.

He later saw Wilkinson emerge from the block of flats laughing and pick up the cat by the scruff of its neck.

The pet owner dumped the cat at Mr Gardener's feet and said: "Let your dog out."

The witness raised the alarm and RSPCA inspectors took Luna to a vets' practice where it was diagnosed with five broken ribs and double fracture of the pelvis as a result of the 7.3-metre plunge.

Luna survived the ordeal and has since been rehomed, magistrates were told.

When Wilkinson was interviewed by RSPCA officials he said the cat had urinated on him as he sat watching TV.

The prosecutor said the owner picked up the cat, slapped it on its backside, opened the window and threw it out.

She said it had been an "impulsive and unpredictable act".

She presented photographs of Luna and the location of the incident to magistrates.

The prosecutor urged magistrates to impose a ban on keeping animals because of the risk of a repeat of the incident.

For Wilkinson, Steve Freestone said his client was "thoroughly ashamed" and realised "how unpleasant a thing it was to do".

He said: "He had snapped on the day in question."

The defence solicitor said his client had suffered difficulties having lost his job recently.

He explained the mother, who he said worked as a veterinary nurse, faced the problem of wanting to keep her son at the family home in Silver Street, Barrow but also care for the family's pet cat and 11-year-old dog.

Mr Freestone highlighted the impact a ban on animals would have on the family.

Magistrates ordered Wilkinson to undergo 12 months supervision by the probation service.

After the hearing, RSPCA Inspector Stuart Wainwright said: "We are very pleased with the court judgement. It reflects how seriously the magistrates took the matter and the severity of the case. The ban is a good deterrent and shows that causing suffering at this level will not be tolerated.

"It is completely unacceptable for someone to throw a defenceless cat from a window."

PAUL Hurst hailed Ollie Palmer as the final piece in Grimsby Town's jigsaw after extending his loan deal until the end of the season.

As revealed on our website – grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/sport – the 23-year-old will now remain with the Mariners for the entire run-in and, crucially, cannot be recalled by parent club Mansfield.

That means the frontman – who looks set to feature in this afternoon's clash with Telford (3pm) – will also be involved in the play-offs, should Town qualify, and Hurst couldn't be happier.

"I'm delighted to have him," he said. "It's taken a bit of negotiation and a bit of hard work, but we've finally got his signature.

"There can't be a recall because of it running through until the end of the season so we know what we've got now for the run-in and that's a big factor for me.

"Ollie's stay here includes the play-offs as well – that won't be a problem, so it's a big boost to have him on board."


VIDEO: Watch an interview with Ollie Palmer


Hurst confirmed that Palmer's extension completes his business in the transfer window, having brought in Christian Jolley and Gregor Robertson last week.

"I look at it now and you just think 'yeah, we're strong'," he added.

"Last season I thought we had a strong squad, but man-for-man in certain positions, we are now that bit further along.

"I wanted to try and get a settled squad that I'm happy with and know that I'm going to be working with until the end of the season, come what may.

"We hope that Ollie continues in the vein of form that he's been in and ideally get even better still.

"He is a young player and there is still more to come from him in some aspects – hopefully he can keep scoring goals for us.

"That's another piece of the jigsaw in place for us now.

"At the minute, we're on a nice little run and the belief is growing so I wanted to keep that group together – and Ollie is a part of that."

Have your say: Should every police officer be armed with a Taser in battle against terrorism?

Should every frontline police officer be armed with a Taser to battle the threat of terrorism?

Steve White, who chairs the Police Federation, said evidence of plans to murder officers made the move to offer Tasers to every officer necessary.

They would not necessarily be forced to carry one.

"The terrorist ideal to get attention no longer relies on an attack being in a place of note," he said.

"It could be in Cheam high street, in any town, in any part of the UK. We know there are more dangerous people out there, preparing to attack police officers and we need to be able to respond to that threat."

The terrorist threat level for police was raised to severe two weeks ago in the wake of the Paris atrocity and a foiled assault on officers in Belgium.

Since then, police chiefs and junior officers have been considering how to counter the extra dangers.

Leaders of the Police Federation, which represents rank-and-file officers, will vote next month on a proposal that every uniformed frontline officer should be offered training in the use of Tasers, though some may choose not to carry them.

Some Humberside Police officers already carry Tasers.

The force said they are often a safer option than a baton or a firearm and that the mere sight of them can often force a suspect to back down.

The IPCC said more officers are now equipped with Tasers, and the number of complaints are rising in-line with increased use.

Lincolnshire's Assistant Chief Constable Lee Freeman told media following the report that the apparent high use of the Taser in Lincolnshire is because 23 per cent of the county's officers are trained to use them, compared to eight per cent regionally.

He said: "Given the large rural area policed by the force, and the times and distances required for Lincolnshire officers to travel to the scenes of violent incidents, sometimes involving the threat of the use of conventional firearms, knives or other weapons, we took the decision to train local area response teams.

"This enables us to get to violent incidents far quicker and be better equipped to deal with a wider range of potential problems when we arrive.

"This decision was taken with the safety of the public and our officers and staff as our first priority."

Mr Freeman also told media that the use of Tasers has seen a 46 per cent fall in incidents where firearms officers are deployed.

Anglia Water were called to fix a burst water main in Humberston which caused flooding in North Sea Lane and Brooklyn Drive.

16 homes had their water turned off after the pipe had been isolated at 1pm, but it had been turned back on at 1.20pm.

A spokesperson for Anglian Water confirmed the incident was reported to them this morning, and that several members of their team were sent to the site.

She also suggested the four inch cast iron main could have burst due to the adverse weather, but this could not be confirmed.

The water had risen to such a level it was almost above the tyres of a car in one property on North Sea Lane, near to Brooklyn Drive.

Police are becoming increasingly concerned for the welfare of a man missing from Barton-upon-Humber due to an existing medical condition for which he may need treatment.
