That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me,

:00:00.:00:00.

Welcome to North West Tonight with Roger Johnson and Annabel Thffin.

Barrow is officially the least happy place in thd UK

:00:46.:00:47.

Paige Chivers went missing after a family row.

:00:48.:01:19.

A second man's been charged with an offence related to sexual

:01:20.:01:21.

Both men appeared before magistrates in Blackpool today.

:01:22.:01:24.

With a few belongings packed in a suitcase, Paige Chivers left

:01:25.:01:28.

home after a row in 2007 and was never seen by her family ag`in.

:01:29.:01:31.

Lancashire Police began one of its biggest ever investigations.

:01:32.:01:49.

Nearly 3,000 people have bedn spoken to as part of the inpuiry.

:01:50.:01:51.

More than 1,200 statements were taken.

:01:52.:01:53.

In April this year, the investigation gained new

:01:54.:01:55.

momentum with the offer of a reward for information.

:01:56.:01:57.

A week later the police searched a property in the town.

:01:58.:02:01.

She went missing seven years ago and deadly enquiry we have made has led

:02:02.:02:11.

us to conclude that she had been murdered.

:02:12.:02:13.

In May, officers began looking for Paige's

:02:14.:02:15.

More searches followed, and two men were arrested.

:02:16.:02:18.

Today, they appeared before magistrates in Blackpool

:02:19.:02:24.

The first man is charged with murder and perverting the course of

:02:25.:02:37.

justice. Second faces a third charge of assisting the first in the

:02:38.:02:42.

disposal of the remains. Both men will appear before Preston Crown

:02:43.:02:46.

Court next week. A third man, 2 years old and from Blackpool, who

:02:47.:02:50.

has been questioned on susphcion of attempting to sit `` pervert the

:02:51.:02:55.

course of justice has now bden released on police bail, pending

:02:56.:02:57.

further enquiries. Paige's background has been

:02:58.:03:01.

described as troubled. Her mother had died six months

:03:02.:03:02.

before her disappearance. Her father, here making an `ppeal

:03:03.:03:07.

for help in catching his datghter's killer, was himself murdered last

:03:08.:03:10.

year in a row over a ?20 note. A former Merseyside police officer

:03:11.:03:20.

has admitted improperly tryhng to obtain CCTV images of the Lhverpool

:03:21.:03:31.

captain Steven Gerrard. Helen Jones has been accused

:03:32.:03:33.

of attempting to seize the footage so that others could

:03:34.:03:35.

commit criminal activity. This afternoon she pleaded guilty

:03:36.:03:38.

to misconduct in a public office. Our reporter Lindsey Prosser is

:03:39.:03:40.

at Preston Crown Court. Helen Jones changed her ple` to

:03:41.:03:52.

guilty of misconduct in a ptblic office. The Crown Prosecution

:03:53.:03:56.

Service say that last year, she tried to obtain CCTV footagd of the

:03:57.:04:00.

Liverpool captain involved hn an argument with another man knew to

:04:01.:04:04.

his home in Formby. The prosecution say that she tried to do th`t by

:04:05.:04:08.

going into a bank and claimhng that she was actually on duty with today

:04:09.:04:14.

the prosecution said they dhd not accept her entrance for her guilty

:04:15.:04:18.

plea. This is that throughott the investigation that she was deceitful

:04:19.:04:22.

and the belief that she was trying to obtain the CCTV footage so that

:04:23.:04:25.

other people could engage in criminal activity. This is something

:04:26.:04:30.

that the defence denied. Thhs is something that the defence denied.

:04:31.:04:36.

They activity to come from our obtaining that CCTV footage. The

:04:37.:04:41.

case has been adjourned unthl next week when witnesses could bd called.

:04:42.:04:45.

A Merseyside drugs baron who modelled himself

:04:46.:04:48.

on the infamous Colombian cocaine dealer Pablo Escobar has bedn

:04:49.:04:51.

ordered to pay more than ?240,0 0 or face more time in jail.

:04:52.:04:55.

Christopher Welsh Junior from Wirral had enjoyed lavish holidays, before

:04:56.:04:59.

he was convicted together whth his father, of supplying cocaine

:05:00.:05:02.

Hundreds of mourners have attended the funeral of a man who didd after

:05:03.:05:09.

being attacked at Manchester's Parklife music festival this summer.

:05:10.:05:12.

26`year`old Robert Hart from Macclesfield died in Jtne,

:05:13.:05:15.

five days after he was punched to the ground in Heaton Park.

:05:16.:05:18.

Police are still searching for his killer.

:05:19.:05:35.

Cumbria's police and crime commissioner says he'll

:05:36.:05:36.

look at claims of historic child abuse at a South Lakeland school

:05:37.:05:39.

Two men want the police to open an investigation into sexual

:05:40.:05:43.

and physical abuse at Underley Hall in Kirkby Lonsdale which closed

:05:44.:05:46.

Richard Rhodes will reply to the men next week and wants anyone

:05:47.:05:49.

else who suffered abuse at the school to come forward.

:05:50.:06:13.

They started with prayers, but they were soon onto porn.

:06:14.:06:16.

These walls have rarely heard the kind of subject matter

:06:17.:06:19.

And this was the response to calls for Councillor Bleakley to puit

:06:20.:06:34.

It was all about Councillor Bleakley.

:06:35.:06:40.

His text messages had previously elicited this response

:06:41.:06:43.

His bullying and his phone bill had meant he had broken

:06:44.:07:00.

And that is driving the council crazy.

:07:01.:07:04.

If a council officer or any other employee for that matter had

:07:05.:07:07.

undertaken those acts they would have been fund guilty

:07:08.:07:10.

So there were calls for a change in the law.

:07:11.:07:35.

In the here's an idea. One do have a certain stand`rd of

:07:36.:07:39.

morals. I'm joined now by

:07:40.:07:48.

Wigan MP Lisa Nandy. He has apologised and paid back the

:07:49.:08:00.

money that he spent on the chaplains. Is that not enough? ``

:08:01.:08:26.

chatlines. This man thinks that six falous

:08:27.:08:32.

funny, and I think that there is an absolute insult to the people he

:08:33.:08:36.

represents but to every single person across the Wigan Borough ``

:08:37.:08:45.

sex crime. At the end of the day we live in a

:08:46.:08:57.

democracy. It is up to the people to vote him out.

:08:58.:09:04.

Yes, but David Cameron said that when politicians break that bond of

:09:05.:09:10.

trust with the public, we whll bring forward legislation to remove them.

:09:11.:09:14.

This will do absolutely nothing to give the public the ability to kick

:09:15.:09:20.

out this independent councillor in Wigan. That is not good enotgh. We

:09:21.:09:24.

have two more years to go and every woman in the bottle as up in arms.

:09:25.:09:30.

What do you want to see dond? Do you want to see the standards board

:09:31.:09:39.

brought back? There is a calpaigning group called 38 degrees that has

:09:40.:09:43.

brought forward an alternathve will from the government that wotld cover

:09:44.:09:46.

councillors and would also give power to the public. Providdd that

:09:47.:09:52.

safeguards can be built in so that safeguards can be built frol

:09:53.:09:56.

speaking out on issues that they cared about, I think that's seems

:09:57.:10:00.

like a much more sensible w`y forward and what we need now is for

:10:01.:10:04.

the government to get involved and help push for a bad bill so that the

:10:05.:10:08.

people in Wigan do not have to have another two years with a man who is

:10:09.:10:12.

frankly an insult to every woman in the borough. The petition only has

:10:13.:10:22.

120,000 signatures on it. There have been a number of people. A lot of

:10:23.:10:26.

reaction in the media and the press. The trouble is that when

:10:27.:10:31.

people get in touch, or of reaction in the media and the press. The

:10:32.:10:35.

trouble is that when people get in touch, or be done. At the moment,

:10:36.:10:39.

people are signing petitions asking to get rid of this man, but nobody,

:10:40.:10:44.

including me, has the power to do anything about it. That is `

:10:45.:10:46.

situation that cannot go on. Why trading mug shots

:10:47.:10:49.

for muffins has helped Louise bake And as life such a drag this year,

:10:50.:10:54.

or does this man disagree? Two of the rarest birds of prey

:10:55.:11:16.

in England have vanished without The young female hen harriers called

:11:17.:11:19.

sky and hope had only recently left their nest sites in the fordst

:11:20.:11:24.

of bowland, after being born to one of just four

:11:25.:11:26.

breeding pairs in the country. Hen Harriers have been part

:11:27.:11:31.

of a long running conflict with the grouse shooting industrx,

:11:32.:11:36.

but the two birds disappear`nces June 2014 and the forest becomes

:11:37.:11:52.

home to the first hen Harridr checks to fledge in England for many years.

:11:53.:12:03.

It is devastating news that they have gone missing. We fitted them

:12:04.:12:08.

with satellite technology, `nd since then the RSPB has been monitoring

:12:09.:12:14.

with these birds have been calling. Sky disappeared on the 10th of

:12:15.:12:18.

September and the other dead on the 13th of September. The technology is

:12:19.:12:23.

designed to last for three xears and are said to really feel. Ond theory

:12:24.:12:29.

is that the birds have been shot. We expect something catastrophhc.

:12:30.:12:35.

Schumann intervention is thd main reason why they are in such a

:12:36.:12:41.

fragile bleeding state. Tonhght illegal persecution of birds has

:12:42.:12:45.

been condemned and speculathon has been deemed unproductive. Ndws of

:12:46.:12:53.

the disappearances has, as ` cause `` a shock to pupils at a ndarby

:12:54.:12:59.

primary school which had adopted five birds including sky. It is a

:13:00.:13:04.

huge tragedy. The job reallx related to the hen Harriers. Becausd they

:13:05.:13:07.

were so close to boot children, they became part of the skill falily

:13:08.:13:13.

They are Blu`ray and they are endangered, so I'm really worried. I

:13:14.:13:17.

thought that he might have fallen away and his tank had fallen. Yes,

:13:18.:13:21.

it is a bit of a heartbreakhng discovery, really. For now, all the

:13:22.:13:29.

school can do is wait for ndws. The RSPB has said that they havd

:13:30.:13:32.

reported the disobedience of the birds to the police and is offering

:13:33.:13:34.

a reward for information. Two weeks today voters in Hdywood

:13:35.:13:38.

and Middleton will go to the polls to choose

:13:39.:13:41.

a replacement for Labour MP Jim Last week we reported on thd UKIP

:13:42.:13:43.

campaign, today Stuart Pollhtt has been in the constituency

:13:44.:13:48.

following the Green Party These streets used to be

:13:49.:13:51.

something of a stronghold. The party controlled

:13:52.:14:04.

the local council until 2010 and for years had the biggest political

:14:05.:14:07.

figure in these parts. Cyril Smith was once an assdt,

:14:08.:14:11.

not anymore. Despite all the scandal,

:14:12.:14:16.

that's not something that's going to Other people, in the Rochdale

:14:17.:14:18.

constituency, where it was `n issue, I did last time

:14:19.:14:24.

so I'll probably stick with that. On the doorstep, Anthony Smhth,

:14:25.:14:33.

is pushing his local credentials and s`ys he's

:14:34.:14:35.

in it to win it despite suggestions We have some challenges to overcome,

:14:36.:14:38.

but we're plodding along with our campaign,

:14:39.:14:49.

trying to portray the posithve aspect of the differences the

:14:50.:14:51.

Lib Dems have made in government. Above the streets of Heywood

:14:52.:14:54.

sits Scout Moor Wind Farm. The biggest onshore developlent

:14:55.:15:02.

in Britain. The party hoping to pick up some of

:15:03.:15:14.

the Lib Dems disaffected voters is debating the issue of this wind

:15:15.:15:21.

farm. Is it potentially award winner or not? And there is a diffhcult one

:15:22.:15:27.

with some of the ball `` locals It is worth listening to them `nd

:15:28.:15:30.

finding a solution that fits everyone.

:15:31.:15:31.

Greens didn't even field a candidate here in 2010.

:15:32.:15:33.

Now they think they can make inroads.

:15:34.:15:42.

We are going to get the decor and we hope we will get more supporters and

:15:43.:15:51.

members. With neither party likely to cause a political shock hn this

:15:52.:15:55.

by`election, they are at le`st pressing the flesh for everx

:15:56.:15:57.

And this is the full list of candidates in the Heywood

:15:58.:16:01.

Residents living in Stockport and High Peak say their lives could be

:16:02.:16:13.

put at risk if Stepping Hill isn't chosen as a specialist hosphtal

:16:14.:16:16.

Proposals drawn up by the Healthier Together scheme stggest up

:16:17.:16:20.

to five hospitals in Greater Manchester will tre`t the

:16:21.:16:23.

All the others will carry ott routine and planned procedures.

:16:24.:16:27.

Our health correspondent Elaine Dunkley reports.

:16:28.:16:31.

Stepping Hill is a hospital fighting for specialist status.

:16:32.:16:36.

Here at Stepping Hill we ard currently building

:16:37.:16:38.

It's a big surgical centre which looks after a populathon

:16:39.:16:42.

Stepping Hill already delivdrs amongst the very best outcoles

:16:43.:16:49.

for the whole of the North West of England consistently,

:16:50.:16:52.

either in planned surgery or emergency surgery.

:16:53.:17:01.

We think that puts us in a perfect place to be ond of

:17:02.:17:04.

Healthier Together says resources and expertise are spread too thinly

:17:05.:17:09.

in emergency surgery in Greater Manchester.

:17:10.:17:15.

By concentrating services on fewer sites, more lives will be s`ved

:17:16.:17:18.

Many residents who use Stepping Hill live in rural areas.

:17:19.:17:30.

Anne Parkinson recently had emergency surgery at Stepping Hill.

:17:31.:17:34.

She lives in Buxton and belheves if she had to go further

:17:35.:17:38.

for treatment, she would have died in the ambulance.

:17:39.:17:40.

Peritonitis had already set in, so that would have got worse and worse.

:17:41.:17:47.

It might have just been the turning point in me surviving or not.

:17:48.:17:54.

So far, over 10,000 people have filled out the Healthier Together

:17:55.:17:57.

consultation, but some residents outside of Greater Manchestdr feel

:17:58.:18:00.

Stepping Hill is the hospital that everybody

:18:01.:18:05.

in the High Peak goes to for most of their significant treatmdnt.

:18:06.:18:09.

To actually ignore what is a very natural catchment area for a

:18:10.:18:16.

major hospital in this area, and the one which serves our communhty, it

:18:17.:18:19.

The Healthier Together constltation ends on 30th September.

:18:20.:18:43.

Many people decide to have ` change of career but few can be as drastic

:18:44.:18:46.

In the space of a couple of years she's gone

:18:47.:18:50.

And it turns out that she's pretty good, even being nominated

:18:51.:18:56.

Our reporter Eno Eruotor can join us live from Louise's cake shop

:18:57.:19:05.

Huge hand away from those c`kes `` keep your hands away from those

:19:06.:19:19.

cakes! I have seen what a lot of c`kes and

:19:20.:19:24.

they have not had any yet! The shop has been here for four years, but as

:19:25.:19:29.

you say, the owner of the shop has been in business for five ydars and

:19:30.:19:32.

her main ambition in life initially was to trace `` chase criminals

:19:33.:19:38.

Somehow she has ended up on the cake baking business. That is a real

:19:39.:19:44.

change. How did that happen to Mac I studied in Manchester and dhd a

:19:45.:19:47.

degree in criminology then loved to London to get another degred in

:19:48.:19:53.

forensics. I love the natur`l wail. I wanted to move back to Manchester

:19:54.:19:59.

to pursue the police but it was just bad timing. Thousands of jobs had

:20:00.:20:03.

been cut and I spend a lot of time moving up and in the countrx trying

:20:04.:20:08.

to get into any police forcd. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be and I

:20:09.:20:11.

had taken inspiration and come up with something else. That is a real

:20:12.:20:16.

change calling from criminology to baking cakes. I know that you seem

to 2000 `` use salt 2000 of these every week, but you learned how to

bake online? I did. It was `ll Internet videos, read `` recipe

books. I watched other people do it online. As you learned to b`ke

:20:37.:20:43.

online, who were your main inspirations? It was that once in

:20:44.:20:50.

London. Hummingbird, Primrose. They make real American cupcakes, not

:20:51.:20:54.

your average free kick that you see in the supermarket, but truly big

:20:55.:20:58.

American cupcakes. You have been in business five years, the shop has

:20:59.:21:02.

been here for four years, and businesses: Well, but in th`t time,

:21:03.:21:05.

we have seen a lot of busindsses come and go to to the recession

:21:06.:21:11.

What is the secret to your success? Definitely, hard work. I work seven

:21:12.:21:17.

days a week. I had just abott to get something from itself, but ht has a

:21:18.:21:22.

other end. I have lots of things: `` coming in the pipeline. Going from

lot going for us. Battle is officially the least happy place in

:23:47.:23:51.

the country. Not everybody `grees. I think we are a friendly sort. Even

before I was on the televishon, I could go to local supermarkdts, and

quickly. Everything seems to be closing, more and more shops, but I

don't know, I like it up ye`r, I think it is lovely. I am not
