:00:20. > :00:24.Hello and welcome to the One Show with Alex Jones. And Matt Baker.
:00:24. > :00:34.Tonight's guest is an entertainment all-rounder! She's an actor, writer
:00:34. > :00:36.
:00:36. > :00:41.and comedian and what's more she can do it all standing on her head.
:00:41. > :00:45.It's the remarkably talented, Maureen Lipman! APPLAUSE
:00:45. > :00:51.Obviously a Maureen, a little camera trickery going on, there but
:00:51. > :00:57.can you really do that? No. No. The photographer was standing on his
:00:57. > :01:01.head! Did used to do that in the dressing room under the impression
:01:01. > :01:07.that the blood would run to the head an I would remember everything.
:01:07. > :01:11.Did it work for you at all? Well, Maureen will be telling us
:01:11. > :01:14.about a special awards ceremony for the more experienced in life, let's
:01:14. > :01:22.say. We are also hearing about school reunions.
:01:22. > :01:27.Yes, so guess what, we are going to ask you to send in your reunion
:01:27. > :01:37.school photos and to e-mail them into us, we will look at them in
:01:37. > :01:42.the -- at the end of the show. night we reported on the healthcare
:01:42. > :01:52.system and the bairbg care of ourb patients. In a moment we are
:01:52. > :01:57.
:01:57. > :02:01.talking to Julie Bailey, the woman I am just about it qualify as a
:02:01. > :02:06.nurse, I have been on several placements as a student and come
:02:06. > :02:10.home in tears after seeing some of the way that nursing and health
:02:10. > :02:14.staff have treated patients. I feel ashamed to call myself a nurse. I
:02:14. > :02:19.do believe that the wards don't have enough staff and nurses are
:02:19. > :02:27.run ragged beyond belief, but this is no excuse. This is from a nurse
:02:27. > :02:32.who wishs to remain anonymous. They say that poorlyly paid auxiliaries
:02:32. > :02:37.are the unsung heroes of the NHS and they are understaffed. That
:02:37. > :02:45.they have gone to work on days off to ensure that people have been fed.
:02:45. > :02:49.This one from Irene Harris. There was an elderly gentleman who had a
:02:49. > :02:56.bladder infection. It makes the person confused. They put a
:02:56. > :03:04.catheter on him, he had no pyjama bottoms on, two male nurses laughed
:03:04. > :03:09.at him. I had a go at them, saying if he was in his right mind, would
:03:09. > :03:16.he be doing this? Rose says: After three recent admissions to hospital,
:03:16. > :03:21.I'm ashamed to associate myself as a nurse. On one occasion when she
:03:21. > :03:25.said that she did not want a treatment, the nurse came up to say
:03:25. > :03:29.that I would have to have this. Today, the care of the patient is
:03:29. > :03:35.left with largely undertrained careworkers.
:03:35. > :03:40.They do anything but care. Julie is with us now. We featured
:03:40. > :03:45.your story in 2011. Remind us how you got this amazing campaign off
:03:45. > :03:49.the ground in the first place? got the campaign off the ground
:03:49. > :03:53.after witnessing nearly eight weeks of appalling care. I always said
:03:54. > :03:57.that mum was a lucky one as she had us by her side. Other patients had
:03:57. > :04:03.nok. When I came out of the hospital after I lost my mum I knew
:04:03. > :04:07.that something had to change. I tried the usual Khanles with the
:04:07. > :04:11.hospital management, themselves, they didn't want to know. -- I
:04:11. > :04:17.tried the usual channels, they did not want to know.
:04:17. > :04:21.I was told by a solicitor after I sent a letter that I should not be
:04:21. > :04:27.contacted again. I contacted my MP, he said he was happy with the care
:04:27. > :04:32.there. He met with a wide circle of people. I wrote to the state, they
:04:32. > :04:36.sent a letter back offering condolences and they sent me back
:04:36. > :04:40.to the hospital. All of this time I knew that people were suffering,
:04:40. > :04:46.they were not given fluids and basic care on the wards. Then I
:04:46. > :04:51.wrote a letter to the local paper. I knew if I had seen those things
:04:51. > :04:54.others must have done. I knew there was power in numbers. That is what
:04:54. > :04:59.has happened. We now have a fantastic group around us. We all
:04:59. > :05:02.have the same goal. The patient safety and improving care for
:05:02. > :05:07.people. And lots of those e-mails must ring
:05:07. > :05:11.true to you. You were nodding your head as that film was playing out
:05:11. > :05:17.there. Your team met up with Robert Francis, the author of the report,
:05:17. > :05:20.what has he had to say? What Robert Francis said was that he met the
:05:20. > :05:25.terms of reference. He has produced the report.
:05:25. > :05:29.He has produced the report but nothing in those recommendations
:05:29. > :05:34.will improve those conditions. It is about the behaviours of the
:05:34. > :05:38.people working in the NHS. Right from the top, right down to
:05:38. > :05:42.the front line. In your eye, how can that be fixed?
:05:42. > :05:46.We need leadership. We need leadership at the top of the NHS.
:05:46. > :05:50.That needs to change. We have a bullying culture right from the top
:05:50. > :05:54.and it works its way down right to the bottom. You heard there. There
:05:54. > :05:58.are nurses working in appalling conditions. Going in on the day off
:05:58. > :06:04.to feed a patient?! I mean that is awful for somebody to have to do.
:06:04. > :06:07.This has got to change. We need a person at the top who inspires and
:06:07. > :06:10.guides the workforce. We want somebody that they respect and that
:06:10. > :06:14.they look up to. The person at the top needs to
:06:14. > :06:18.produce that caring environment all the way down on to the wards. We
:06:18. > :06:23.need to give the power back to the front line. Back to the doctors and
:06:23. > :06:28.to the nurses. That's what needs to happen in thes ins.
:06:28. > :06:31.-- in the NHS. What about the training, is there something wrong
:06:31. > :06:35.there? There is. We heard in the inquiry, there is something wrong
:06:35. > :06:40.in every part of the NHS. I spoke to somebody recently with regards
:06:40. > :06:46.to the training, who knew a student nurse who had never been on a
:06:46. > :06:50.hospital ward and had qualified. I knew student nurses who wanted to
:06:50. > :06:53.train as a nurse to go through the graduate scheme as it is an easier
:06:53. > :06:57.option. What we heard at the inquiry is that really the
:06:57. > :07:03.university it is bums on seats. They don't look at the calibre of
:07:03. > :07:08.the person going in. Julie, of all of the 290 recommendations is there
:07:08. > :07:12.not a single one that leads to what you are talking about? They all
:07:12. > :07:16.point to what we are talking about, but we need change at the top. The
:07:16. > :07:21.leader has to change. If there is a bullying culture at the top, we
:07:21. > :07:25.need somebody in the NHS to lead. We have not got that. That is why
:07:25. > :07:29.we are pushing for accountability. Without that, this report will send
:07:29. > :07:34.a big signal to people that they can harm hundreds of people and
:07:34. > :07:39.nothing will be done. That's got to change. We want accountability from
:07:39. > :07:42.this. So you don't feel your work is done
:07:42. > :07:47.yet? Not until we get accountability. You can't allow
:07:47. > :07:50.hundreds of the most vulnerable people of our society to die
:07:50. > :07:58.unnecessarily and for nobody to have action taken against them?
:07:58. > :08:02.What sort of snal signal does that send? Not only to the NHS but to
:08:02. > :08:05.our society? Thank you, Julie. Congratulations on the campaign so
:08:05. > :08:08.far. Well, in my eyes, the Lake District
:08:08. > :08:12.is one of the most beautiful parts of Britain.
:08:12. > :08:16.It is nice. Things may have been different, though, if it had not
:08:16. > :08:22.been for the poet, William Wordsworth as Larry Lamb discovers.
:08:22. > :08:27.The Lake District, one of the most spectacular landscapes in Britain.
:08:27. > :08:32.During the Ice Age, glaciers carved through the region, leaving in
:08:32. > :08:39.their wake some of England's highest mountains, deepest valleys,
:08:39. > :08:44.and longest lakes. Besides being a sight of outstanding natural beauty,
:08:44. > :08:49.the hills here are a rich source of minerals and precious metals, but
:08:49. > :08:54.during the industrial revolution and the mining of the value yuebl
:08:54. > :09:00.resources, they threatened to spoil the picturesquesque landscape.
:09:00. > :09:07.Showing me the impact that the mining industry had on the
:09:07. > :09:12.landscape is Celia weir. It was rich in minerals. Coal,
:09:12. > :09:15.slate and lots more. Mining here goes back to the Roman times, but
:09:15. > :09:20.it was during the industrial revolution that the area really
:09:20. > :09:25.began to be exploited aggressively. These man-made scree slopes are a
:09:25. > :09:28.prime example of the change that mining made on the landscape.
:09:28. > :09:33.It has left what most people would say is a mess. This is the waste
:09:33. > :09:37.that has come from the inside of that mountain. Millions of tonnes,
:09:37. > :09:42.in fact. They were not bothered how they spoiled the landscape it was
:09:42. > :09:46.work and it brought money in. That is all that they were interested in.
:09:46. > :09:53.But during the industrial period in our history the Lake District also
:09:53. > :09:57.had a rich lit -- literary seam running through it. One of the most
:09:57. > :10:02.famous residents was the legendary poet, William Wordsworth.
:10:02. > :10:08.In 1820 he published his Guide through the District of the La
:10:08. > :10:12.kerbgs s. This book sparked off a huge tourism boom. Almost overnight,
:10:12. > :10:17.the Lake District became a popular holiday destination for wealthy
:10:17. > :10:21.families. As well as attracting tourist, the Wordsworth guide had a
:10:21. > :10:29.remarkable effect on the wealthy industrialists. Suddenly they began
:10:29. > :10:38.to see the Lake District for its beauty as well as for its resources.
:10:38. > :10:44.But none more so than the land owners James Garth Marshal.
:10:44. > :10:50.The word Tarn comes from the Norse word for tear drop, describing a
:10:50. > :10:53.natural body of water formed in a glacier. It is this Tarn that many
:10:53. > :10:59.believe represents the picture- perfect view of the Lake District,
:10:59. > :11:05.but the view before me is far from natural. Incredibly it is man-made.
:11:05. > :11:12.But to see just how much Marshal changed the area, we are going to
:11:12. > :11:17.need to take an airline view from The One Show balloon.
:11:17. > :11:22.There were three small towns, then Marshal built the damn to raise the
:11:22. > :11:27.level of the lake. So this was three lakes all linked
:11:27. > :11:33.together. Then he built the damn, flooded it all and they formed one
:11:33. > :11:38.large one? That's it it is gorgeous. Such was the scale of the project,
:11:38. > :11:42.an entire Hamlet was re-located in the process and every tree hand-
:11:42. > :11:45.picked and planted with the sole purpose of creating this incredible
:11:45. > :11:51.landscape. Everybody thought he was mad, but
:11:51. > :11:58.he had a vision that he wanted to make this beautiful place.
:11:58. > :12:04.But what Marshal started. Princess Beatrice preserved. Having fallen -
:12:04. > :12:12.- Beatrix Potter preserved it then became the setting for all of her
:12:12. > :12:17.books. By 1903, the Tale of Peter Rabbit sold many thousands of
:12:18. > :12:22.coppice. It was around a region that inspired her. On her death,
:12:22. > :12:26.Beatrix left all of her land to the National Trust.
:12:26. > :12:29.So this helped to presthearve remarkable region for all of us
:12:29. > :12:37.forever. -- preserve.
:12:37. > :12:46.Well, The One Show balloon doesn't come out for much but when it
:12:46. > :12:54.does... I know. And then, a link to the rabbit,
:12:54. > :12:59.like yours, Warren? Yes. And Larry up in a balloon, he is
:12:59. > :13:06.full of air! We went to the theatre a while ago, he sat there and
:13:06. > :13:12.shouted, "Get me out of here." speaking of friends you have been
:13:12. > :13:18.catching up for some for a brand now BBC documentary? Yes, I've been
:13:18. > :13:22.doing a BBC documentary on memory. Largely as I value mine. I can feel
:13:22. > :13:28.it seeping out. I wanted to find out what is going on in the brain.
:13:28. > :13:32.It is the last great exploration, really. Maybe more head stands?
:13:33. > :13:37.Well, I think not but any way they took me back to Hull. I met up with
:13:37. > :13:41.my school friends in the school hall. We all sang the school song.
:13:41. > :13:46.Everybody remembered it perfectly word for word. We all stood up. It
:13:46. > :13:52.was gorgeous. Now we wonder who the actress is
:13:52. > :13:58.there? It is difficult to tell! There are a lot of boat acts done
:13:58. > :14:03.there! You must have had a super time? It was great. I actually had
:14:03. > :14:08.a brain in my hands # She got the whole brain... # It
:14:08. > :14:13.is really funny, like a waxy cauliflower.
:14:13. > :14:18.It is the same size? Yes, and it is heavy.
:14:18. > :14:22.And from the documentary, what did you discover? That I cannot
:14:22. > :14:26.remember much! No, the whole fact that everything is filed and
:14:26. > :14:32.retained from through a certain part of the brain. It is
:14:32. > :14:36.fascinating. We had all sorts of funny tests. I am not Brian Cox but
:14:36. > :14:42.I found out a lot. I hope that others do.
:14:42. > :14:48.And you are also involved in Run For Your Life? We all need a wife.
:14:48. > :14:53.I would run from her! Run For Your Life. This is a brand new film. I
:14:53. > :15:01.saw pictures, were you at the premiere? I was on Monday. This has
:15:01. > :15:07.been on the West End for ages? ran for about 200 years, I think.
:15:07. > :15:11.Ray Cooney who is making his first film at the age of 80, God bless
:15:11. > :15:15.him. Everyone he has worked with is in that film.
:15:15. > :15:21.Really? Fantastic. Then the stars, the young people.
:15:21. > :15:25.That is Denise Van Outen and Sarah Harding and Danny Dyer and my dog,
:15:25. > :15:35.Diva and myself and June Whitfield, we did a day's work for which I
:15:35. > :15:39.
:15:39. > :15:49.think we got paid very little. You were right, I was hungry.
:15:49. > :15:58.
:15:58. > :16:06.not actually eating a newspaper, is That was diva. Yes, she was ducking
:16:06. > :16:12.out of the site of the camera. have to talk about the 20th annual
:16:12. > :16:22.anniversary of The Oldie awards. I'm not on the board but I am a
:16:22. > :16:26.
:16:26. > :16:29.judge. I think you are on the board. OK. You are, apparently. 2013, the
:16:29. > :16:34.annual award. It's not like any other awards ceremony you've ever
:16:34. > :16:36.been to. One of the things you have on their is the Oldie Pin-up of the
:16:37. > :16:43.Year. I'm sure all of the nominations are in, but we do have
:16:43. > :16:51.a few suggestions. We have the intelligent, broody and
:16:51. > :16:56.occasionally confused, John Sergeant. Number two as the witty,
:16:56. > :17:01.erudite and socially gifted Gyles Brandreth. At last, but definitely
:17:01. > :17:11.not least, is a strong debonair man-about-town, your friend, Larry
:17:11. > :17:15.Lamb. You are a judge as well as on the board. Who would you pick as
:17:15. > :17:24.the oldie Penev of the year? I was going to pick Larry because he is
:17:24. > :17:31.my mate. But Gyles Brandreth gave the most brilliant speech. Good
:17:31. > :17:35.choice. It's a very different kind, there's no red carpet. Sometimes we
:17:35. > :17:41.might have a bit of old shag pile outside. Everybody there looks like
:17:41. > :17:45.a pressed flower. But we have such a good time. And all of the awards
:17:45. > :17:50.are named. First, you pick the person you want to win the award,
:17:50. > :17:57.then you create an award for them. Rent a Garbutt of the year, that
:17:57. > :18:01.was Barry Cryer. Boris was the wannabe Oldie of the year. Carol
:18:01. > :18:05.Thatcher was the ball cruncher of the year, I'm not quite sure why.
:18:05. > :18:10.If there was an award for the best way of the year, it would have to
:18:10. > :18:16.be this guide. Absolutely extraordinary. Shots of the
:18:16. > :18:20.Hawaiian Servet Garrett McNamara, this is off the coast of Portugal.
:18:20. > :18:24.Extraordinary. Marty Jopson explains the science behind waves,
:18:24. > :18:30.which one day could play a part in generating electricity right here
:18:30. > :18:37.in the UK. Britain can be a very stormy place, and big storms can
:18:37. > :18:47.mean big waves. The Cornish coast gets our biggest breakers, Wed 10
:18:47. > :18:51.
:18:51. > :18:56.But not always -- but not all waves are equal. There are different
:18:56. > :19:02.sorts as well as different sizes, all created by a complex interplay
:19:02. > :19:07.of wind and sea. Cornwall gets the biggest waves because with the most
:19:07. > :19:12.miles of Atlantic Ocean between it and America, there's the most space
:19:12. > :19:19.to make big waves. Out there, wind blows across the surface of the sea
:19:19. > :19:22.and it pushes energy into the water, creating lots of little reports.
:19:22. > :19:29.The longer, faster and further the wind blows, the larger the waves
:19:29. > :19:35.that are created. The biggest waves that hit British shores are often
:19:35. > :19:42.only the tail-end of much larger waves that start way out to sea.
:19:42. > :19:47.And to experience those... I need to go indoors. Plymouth University
:19:47. > :19:51.has a brand new, state-of-the-art wave lab, where scientists can
:19:51. > :19:57.simulate sea conditions miles offshore, without getting cold or
:19:57. > :20:02.wet. Or to help them study the awesome power of the ocean. Dave
:20:02. > :20:06.Simmons is a physicist and specialist in the science of waves.
:20:06. > :20:10.We've got 24 paddles. We can control each of them individually,
:20:10. > :20:15.which means we can effectively make any wave climate that we want.
:20:15. > :20:18.What's the biggest wave you can make? Up to about a metre in this
:20:18. > :20:28.tank. The is paddles do what the windows, transferring energy into
:20:28. > :20:32.the water. Bring It On - look at that! Wow! They are beautifully
:20:32. > :20:35.regular, aren't they? Yes, all the paddles are working together and
:20:35. > :20:41.pushing the water in the same direction to produce a nice, clean
:20:41. > :20:46.wave. They are mesmerising, but you never get waves this regular at sea
:20:46. > :20:53.because the combination of winds, tide and is much more haphazard.
:20:53. > :20:57.Like this. Scaled up, these waves would be about 12 metres - the
:20:57. > :21:00.average stormy sea. And ocean-going ships are designed to cope with
:21:00. > :21:06.anything up to 15 metres. That is the height of a four-storey
:21:06. > :21:11.building. But, very occasionally, freak waves are formed. Out at sea,
:21:11. > :21:18.lots of stormy, random waves can join together to make one huge wave
:21:18. > :21:24.that can tower 30 metres and sink the largest of ships. Can we see it,
:21:24. > :21:29.can we sink a boat? Yes, we can. hope you were going to say that.
:21:29. > :21:33.This model tanker is 32 times smaller than the real thing. With a
:21:33. > :21:43.bit of hi-tech precision positioning, it is now in Dave's
:21:43. > :21:45.
:21:45. > :21:55.It is about to be hit by a freak wave equivalent to 32 metres. It's
:21:55. > :22:04.
:22:04. > :22:08.Wow! Well and truly sunk. Clearly, this wonderful machine was not made
:22:08. > :22:14.so The One Show could sink toy boats. What they are going to do
:22:14. > :22:19.here, though, is used these waves to test the next generation of wave
:22:19. > :22:24.power electricity generators, that will hopefully enable us to extract
:22:24. > :22:28.some of the enormous power out of the waves all around our coastline.
:22:28. > :22:36.Marty, you were having a whale of a time. It looked like you were just
:22:36. > :22:42.about to jump in. I wanted to get in. Ahmad point of tidal power, how
:22:42. > :22:47.close are we? By 2020, they reckon 3% of the UK's energy is going to
:22:48. > :22:52.come from wave power. The big problem we've got is getting the
:22:52. > :22:56.energy from these things floating around in the sea on to the dry
:22:56. > :23:01.land and into the national grid. That's quite a challenge. Lots of
:23:01. > :23:10.people are sceptical about wind power. But is this another white
:23:10. > :23:15.elephant? Not at all. There's enormous potential in wind power,
:23:15. > :23:22.so wave power, it's all there. wave power would be better because
:23:22. > :23:27.it's more regular, isn't it? That's one of the benefits. There are lots
:23:27. > :23:34.of ways of using water to generate power. Wave isn't the only way.
:23:34. > :23:37.Another one they are keen on his tidal stream. You take a big fan
:23:37. > :23:42.and you stick it in the water. You wait for the type to go past it and
:23:42. > :23:47.it spins the fan. It's the wind turbines underwater. Rolls-Royce,
:23:47. > :23:52.Siemens are looking at that. The first turbines will happen sometime
:23:52. > :23:57.between 2014 and 2017. Then you've got tidal barrage. This is
:23:57. > :24:01.controversial. The Severn Estuary, the idea was to put a tidal barrage
:24:01. > :24:08.across it and generate energy from the movement of the tide. We could
:24:08. > :24:11.talk about this all night long. haven't got time. Many places in
:24:11. > :24:15.northern England have been scarred by failed regeneration projects
:24:15. > :24:18.that have seen historic terraced homes demolished or left to rot.
:24:18. > :24:22.one Lancashire town things are looking up. If ever there was a
:24:22. > :24:30.reporting job for Accrington Stanley, this was it. Sadly, we had
:24:31. > :24:33.to settle for local boy, Accrington Tony, instead. Once a major hub of
:24:33. > :24:37.England's cotton textile industry, Lancashire was home to bustling
:24:37. > :24:43.communities of factory workers and their families, occupying rows and
:24:43. > :24:47.rows of terraced houses. But over half a century since the last
:24:47. > :24:51.cotton reels ceased spinning, these streets and Accrington have become
:24:51. > :24:57.a ghost town. I was born just a few miles down the road in Burnley in
:24:57. > :25:00.the house exactly like one of these. Two-up, two-down, outdoor lure. But
:25:00. > :25:05.the communities were vibrant. Behind every door a smiling face, a
:25:05. > :25:09.flat cap, it had, is set of prices. And that was just the women! But
:25:09. > :25:16.neighbours were friends, and they were friends for life. Now look at
:25:16. > :25:20.them. Boarded-up, deserted, shocking. Well, that's how I
:25:20. > :25:25.remember my childhood anyway. Now, one in 20 houses in Lancashire
:25:25. > :25:30.stand empty. On this street, every house is boarded up... Except one
:25:30. > :25:36.on the corner. It belongs to the family who run the newsagents next
:25:36. > :25:41.door for over 25 years. This was a booming shop at one time will stop
:25:41. > :25:45.the houses were full. Everything started going downhill. It has
:25:45. > :25:48.become a ghost shop, as your customers have disappeared. Yes,
:25:48. > :25:53.there's nothing in this shop, everything is out of date, stock
:25:53. > :25:56.has been wasted. And the reason it is dead is because, like in many
:25:56. > :26:02.areas across the country, these properties were designated to be
:26:02. > :26:07.demolished and developed under the previous government. But after the
:26:07. > :26:11.coalition came into power in 2010, the funding was scrapped. Around
:26:11. > :26:15.40,000 homes earmarked for regeneration were left vacant. With
:26:15. > :26:18.so many empty homes on these blocks you'd probably expect bulldozers to
:26:19. > :26:23.move in next and knock them to the ground. But that's not what is
:26:23. > :26:27.going to happen. In fact, sooner rather than later they hope people
:26:27. > :26:30.are going to be living here once again. 200 of these boarded up
:26:30. > :26:34.homes are due to be given a modern day makeover, as a result of a
:26:34. > :26:41.partnership between a private developer and housing association,
:26:41. > :26:45.backed by the local council. We are bringing something which has an
:26:45. > :26:50.intrinsic part of this town's heritage back into the 21st century.
:26:50. > :26:55.Within the streets themselves, we will create a mix of two, three and
:26:55. > :27:00.four bedroom properties. We will make it fit for young families and
:27:00. > :27:04.to make it appropriate to the needs and priorities of growing families.
:27:04. > :27:08.They hope to attract families back to the area by creating the tide of
:27:08. > :27:12.houses that people want to rent these days. More light, bigger
:27:12. > :27:17.bedrooms and more energy efficient than your old two-up-two-down. But
:27:17. > :27:21.how do you rebuild a sense of pride in the community that disappeared
:27:21. > :27:25.with the last residents? One of the main things we look for is a mixed
:27:25. > :27:29.community, mixed ownership. Within a private rental scheme, one of the
:27:29. > :27:33.dangers is the short term, transient nature of what those
:27:33. > :27:37.tenancies are. We will be building home-ownership of some type of
:27:37. > :27:41.scheme that will now that scared his into home ownership within the
:27:41. > :27:50.private rental scheme. We find that gives a better community, ten-year
:27:50. > :27:55.and a longer term commitment to the area. Janet Fox lived here for 20
:27:55. > :28:00.years but sold up when the area began to deteriorate. What do you
:28:00. > :28:05.make of it? Trashed. She'd love to move back but thinks it will take
:28:05. > :28:08.more than some new houses to build a community. I think they have to
:28:09. > :28:14.do the whole community. I think they have to do the shops and
:28:14. > :28:22.everything on the bottom as well as putting people into the houses.
:28:22. > :28:27.When they've done them up, it's to rent them out to family people. And
:28:27. > :28:31.get a sense of a community back. The local council say the
:28:31. > :28:34.regeneration will extend to the wider area. And there are plans to
:28:34. > :28:39.create a direct rail link to Manchester, which it hopes will
:28:39. > :28:44.attract tenants from outside the town. We are proud of our heritage
:28:44. > :28:50.and Accrington. Look around you, we are grateful that this is happening
:28:50. > :28:55.and we are really excited about the prospect. But, sadly, any
:28:55. > :28:58.regeneration will come too late for the shop keeper. After a quarter of
:28:58. > :29:01.the century the family home is finally being sold as part of the
:29:02. > :29:08.new development. This shop will soon be closing its doors for the
:29:08. > :29:18.last time, but he hopes to set up a new store nearby, if the community
