Good evening. A 15`year`old boy from Bradford has gathered almost 2,000 | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
signatures on a petition over fears about the future of a local medical | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
centre. James Slater began his campaign after it was announced that | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
the company which offers surgery and diagnostic services at the | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Eccleshill Treatment Centre hadn't had its contract renewed. | :00:28. | :00:39. | |
I am coming around with a position that petition. I wonder if you would | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
sign it. James is just 15 years old but has taken it upon himself to | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
fight for the treatment centre. In just over a week, his raised over | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
2000 signatures on a petition to try to keep services at the site. My | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
grandma has had a lot of treatment at the centre and she has been happy | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
with the service she is received. Alternatively, if she couldn't have | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
treatment there, should have to go a long way. ` she would have to go a | :01:06. | :01:14. | |
long way. The centre is run by a private company and employs more | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
than 80 staff. It aims to cut NHS waiting times by offering minor | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
surgery and diagnostic services. But the company's contract runs out in | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
July and wasn't renewed in a recent tendering process when none of the | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
bids were successful. The local NHS says it is working on plans to find | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
a new provider for some of the services that are housed on this | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
site. That could mean one company or a range of companies taking over | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
those services but they will be given the option of using this | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
building. I am really sad. The people of Bradford are coming here | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
to be treated and they are happy. I haven't found one who says this is | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
rubbish. On the contrary. They will have nice words for the centre and | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
the people who work there. James will now deliver his petition to the | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
NHS. Thank you. Meanwhile, patients will be seen as that ` as normal at | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
the centre until July. Well, James joined us earlier and I | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
asked him why he was so passionate about saving the centre. My grandma | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
has had treatment there on numerous occasions and she's been happy with | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
the treatment she is received at the centre. It is off the back of that. | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
Why are they wanting to close thing down that is working and people are | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
happy with? And also because of the public response of the outcry | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
wanting to save the centre. We've all been stopped in the street to | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
sign a petition. How have people been reacting to you, young man? A | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
lot of people this morning were shocked that I was going at them in | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
the seat. Mainly, the response has been that they want is saved. I | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
don't think they are bothered about who was collecting signatures, just | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
that somebody is doing something positive. And you want more | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
signatures. Yes, we want more signatures. If people want to sign | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
the position that petition, they can go online and sign the petition. | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
There are other ways, including the local MP. What are you going to do | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
with all these names on signatures? Are you going to use it as a threat | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
or are you going to go to your local MP? We have been calling on David | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
Ward for his support on this. I'm hoping to meet with the | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
commissioning group at some point to hamper signatures in. It is also | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
being used as a threat as well. It shows the sheer amount of people | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
that support this. They might just take you seriously. Well done. Thank | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
you. Police have named a man and woman | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
found dead at a house in Worksop. The bodies of Leszek Dantes and his | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
wife Malgorzata Dantes, both aged 54, were discovered at a house in | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
Hardwick Road East on Monday morning. A postmortem examination | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
concluded that they both died from stab wounds. A 28`year`old man | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
arrested on suspicion of murder remains in hospital. | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
Yorkshire's Wildlife Trust is warning that one our best`loved | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
birds is in desperate decline. The loss of habitat and nest site has | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
been hitting our barn owls for years. But, in 2013, they suffered | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
their worst year on record, in face of the bitterly cold spring. | :04:26. | :04:35. | |
If you can only name a handful of birds, the chances are this is one | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
of them, a barn owl. It's ghostly grace, synonymous with summer | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
meadows, but numbers in Yorkshire have crashed. To severe winters and | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
a wash`out summer took their toll. Last year was better but they were | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
very few birds left to breed. Barn owls are not a long`lived bird list | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
of three or four years old is a good age for a barn owl. You only need | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
two seasons without breeding and those adult birds... You can easily | :05:04. | :05:12. | |
get a drop`off. No one can change the weather but open grasslands can | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
be managed. Man`made boxes can replace last ` natural nest sites. | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
This artist has put up 150 boxes. Last year, they were empty. I saw | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
the aisles here, courting end hunting together as a pair. It was | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
such a disappointment. All I can do is come down here and feed these | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
owls, to see if it works. It has worked on six eggs. She is | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
probably... I think she will double clutch this year. That is only part | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
of the battle. Of the eggs hatch, then the young owls will need | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
somewhere to go, somewhere to hunt, somewhere to nest or we could be | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
just one more bad summer away from disaster. | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
Finally, Todmorden's been getting ready to celebrate the arrival of | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
the Tour de France in Yorkshire. Dozens of bikes, scooters and prams | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
have been transformed for a colourful parade, taking place this | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
Saturday. It's part of the Yorkshire Festival, marking a hundred days of | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
art and culture ahead of the Tour's start in July. | :06:16. | :06:35. | |
Some rain on the way tomorrow. Cloudy and cruel as well. Some of | :06:36. | :07:02. | |
the rain later might turn out to be a bit heavy and thundery. A lot of | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
instability around and on Saturday, this weather front will bring | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
further showery rain upon the south`west. We've already got low | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
cloud and fog towards the coast. That will push all the way inland. | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
One or two showers at the moment will fizzle out. It's a grey end to | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
the night. A bit misty in places. Damp as well with drizzle. | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
Temperatures down to seven or eight Celsius. For tomorrow, grey and damp | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
in places. A bit patchy rain developing as we had to the morning. | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
It is later on that that patchy rain may become heavier and locally | :07:24. | :07:24. | |
thundery, especially across central and western areas. It will turn wet | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
through the course of the day. Temperatures, lying along the coast. | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
11 or 12 inland. Some drier brighter spells as well. That is it from me. | :07:32. | :07:32. | |
11 or 12 inland. Some drier brighter spells as well. That is it from me. | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
on. Sunday might be brighter. Now over to Louise Lear for the national | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
weather. Good evening. Today has been a day | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
of sunny spells and a few scattered showers, but where we see the | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
sunshine, we have also seen some warmth, with temperatures in the | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
high teens. A slightly disappointing story across the far north-east of | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
Scotland. We keep that easterly feed through the night to night, but | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
looking out into the Atlantic, we also start to pick up the | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
south-westerly circulate in, and area of low pressure bringing in | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
some blustery winds for the start of the weekend. Tonight it stays mostly | :08:09. | :08:17. | |
dry, with some fog around. And we pick up the risk of a few showers in | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
the far south-east. Clearer skies at the the South West, and | :08:25. | :08:26. |
