:00:00. > :00:09.Hello and welcome to Look E`st. In the programme tonight: Confronted `
:00:10. > :00:19.the woman whose holiday lettings company left hundreds of people out
:00:20. > :00:25.of pocket. I have made a successful business and there was never any
:00:26. > :00:28.intention for this to happen. 2 years after the unsolved murder of
:00:29. > :00:29.this teenager, Norfolk police make a arrest.
:00:30. > :00:33.Our biggest independent ret`iler admits it's feeling the squdeze And
:00:34. > :00:47.the sewing superstar helping to inspire a new generation.
:00:48. > :00:50.First tonight, people who lost thousands of pounds each whdn a
:00:51. > :00:54.holiday company in Suffolk called in the receivers finally got the chance
:00:55. > :00:58.today to confront the owner at a creditor's meeting. But it seems
:00:59. > :01:02.very unlikely they will get their money back. The company concerned is
:01:03. > :01:07.Prime Holiday Lettings which was based in Aldeburgh. It was run by
:01:08. > :01:10.Sheila Moore, who used the `gency to let out a portfolio of propdrties
:01:11. > :01:14.that she owned with her husband Richard, who is a vice preshdent of
:01:15. > :01:18.Ipswich Town football club. But last month, people who'd paid upfront for
:01:19. > :01:22.their holidays learnt the rdceivers had been called in and the `gency
:01:23. > :01:25.was going into liquidation. Today it emerged that Prime Holiday Lettings
:01:26. > :01:34.owes in excess of half a million pounds.
:01:35. > :01:39.Not quite the holiday experhence is creditors hoped for. They h`d paid
:01:40. > :01:42.thousands for luxury breaks in Suffolk instead they compard notes
:01:43. > :01:47.in the car park of the North London hotel. The question to Sheila
:01:48. > :01:52.Moore, will they ever get their money back. In the meeting H thought
:01:53. > :01:56.Sheila Moore looking rather apprehensive. I was asked bx the
:01:57. > :02:01.liquidators to leave the room and they have now drawn the curtains
:02:02. > :02:06.behind me. But I did pick up a list of the creditors, around 200. The
:02:07. > :02:14.name that stands out is Shehla Moore herself who claims she is owed
:02:15. > :02:19.money. Among the dozen or so local Robert is let out by the colpany,
:02:20. > :02:26.this Georgian mansion. It is the repossession of ten of them that has
:02:27. > :02:29.led to the business going under Many are now for sale. After two
:02:30. > :02:38.hours the creditors emerged from the meeting. I pointed out to Sheila
:02:39. > :02:43.Moore that she had a room ftll of frustrated and angry people. There
:02:44. > :02:48.were some obvious questions to be answered but those with outside the
:02:49. > :02:53.remit of the meeting. Did Sheila Moore show genuine remorse? I do not
:02:54. > :03:00.think so. She was going through the process of fact ting professionally
:03:01. > :03:04.as direct. She may regret the fact that this is the first time there
:03:05. > :03:10.has been private people who have lost out. After negotiating the
:03:11. > :03:16.security and solicitor, we caught up with Sheila Moore. I have not misled
:03:17. > :03:24.anyone. I ran a successful business and there was never any intdntion
:03:25. > :03:31.for this to happen. It was ` surprise to me as to everyone else.
:03:32. > :03:38.I apologise to everyone. Yotr husband's company owed a lot of
:03:39. > :03:41.money to the bank. He had the loan that he had no arrears of any kind.
:03:42. > :03:47.There is no police investig`tion or if there is I would be prep`red to
:03:48. > :03:51.answer any question because I have done nothing fraudulently. Suffolk
:03:52. > :03:55.release have told us they still have a long list of enquiries. In the
:03:56. > :03:59.meantime the creditors accept that there is probably little ch`nce that
:04:00. > :04:02.they will see any of their loney back.
:04:03. > :04:08.Detectives investigating thd murder of a teenager in Norfolk more than
:04:09. > :04:11.20 years ago have made an arrest. The body of 14`year`old Joh`nna
:04:12. > :04:15.Young was found in 1992 but the killer was never found. The man
:04:16. > :04:22.being held by the police is in his 40s. It is one of the biggest ever
:04:23. > :04:28.unsolved murder enquiries in Norfolk. This family video shows
:04:29. > :04:36.Johanna Young opening her Christmas presents. These ones remain
:04:37. > :04:37.unopened. Four months ago on the 21st anniversary of her
:04:38. > :04:44.disappearance her parents again appealed for help to find hdr
:04:45. > :04:46.killer. They must be somebody somewhere with a little bit of
:04:47. > :04:56.information that could help the police. It would mean a lot. To have
:04:57. > :05:02.it all sorted. For her to gdt the justice she deserves. On thd 23rd of
:05:03. > :05:07.December in 1992 the 14`year`old left home and was last seen heading
:05:08. > :05:12.into the town centre. The following morning she failed to turn tp for
:05:13. > :05:16.work around. On Boxing Day her body was found face down in a frozen
:05:17. > :05:23.pond. She had suffered a fr`ctured skull and died from drowning. There
:05:24. > :05:27.is someone out there who has done it and I wish they would come forward.
:05:28. > :05:36.Ryan was her boyfriend, thex broke up just days before her murder. Days
:05:37. > :05:47.after, he spoke to this programme. I would do anything to get her back. I
:05:48. > :05:54.wish she was not dead. I do feel angry. I cannot understand how
:05:55. > :05:59.someone can live a normal lhfe knowing what they know. Joanna was
:06:00. > :06:04.buried in Saint Mary 's Church ought. Today Norfolk police say that
:06:05. > :06:13.a local man in his 40s has been arrested in connection with her
:06:14. > :06:17.death. `` churchyard. A woman has been seriously hurt
:06:18. > :06:21.after she was hit by a car `s she stood at her front door in Dssex.
:06:22. > :06:25.The BMW ran into the porch of a house in Washford Gardens in Clacton
:06:26. > :06:29.this morning. The woman, who is in her 70s, is in hospital. A walk`in
:06:30. > :06:31.medical centre in Norfolk which treats thousands of patients is
:06:32. > :06:35.under threat. The NHS clinic is in the Castle Mall
:06:36. > :06:38.Shopping Centre in Norwich. The centre wants to move it to `nother
:06:39. > :06:43.part of the building. But hdalth managers say the move will cost the
:06:44. > :06:48.NHS ?700,000. An online pethtion has been started to keep it where it is.
:06:49. > :06:53.Staff say the walk`in centrd helps ease the pressure on the city's
:06:54. > :06:55.accident and emergency unit. Castle Mall wants to replace the cdntre's
:06:56. > :07:04.present accommodation with restaurants.
:07:05. > :07:08.The problems at the Co`op h`ve been in the news a lot just recently but
:07:09. > :07:12.that Co`op is based in Manchester. Of course we have our own Co`op the
:07:13. > :07:14.East of England Co`op, which is a separate business. But as otr
:07:15. > :07:21.business correspondent Rich`rd Bond has been finding out, it has still
:07:22. > :07:26.got challenges. It has 134 food stores all over
:07:27. > :07:33.Suffolk in Norfolk and ethics at times are tough for the East of
:07:34. > :07:41.England Co`op. If supermarkdts sit in the middle ground of ret`iling.
:07:42. > :07:46.The effect of competition c`n be seen in its Suffolk heartland. In
:07:47. > :07:53.Hadley the Co`op was for decades the only major food retailer. Then last
:07:54. > :07:58.year Morrison's" an overnight, lost 40% of its trade. In Felixstowe the
:07:59. > :08:03.Co`op's hold on the high Street was shaking and the arrival of little.
:08:04. > :08:08.Sales dropped 20%. The group is fighting back by refurbishing if
:08:09. > :08:16.supermarkets such as this one in Colchester. We are reinvesthng in
:08:17. > :08:24.our state of stories and thhs month we are opening three new stores in
:08:25. > :08:32.Suffolk. We invested over ?8 million here to keep the market share. Away
:08:33. > :08:35.from supermarkets, the Co`op's convenience stores have suffered
:08:36. > :08:39.less from competition. Good locations and long opening hours go
:08:40. > :08:45.down well with customers and they have pioneered local sourcing. At
:08:46. > :08:52.this new store it in percent of products are from local suppliers.
:08:53. > :08:57.The suppliers delivered dirdct to store and other people are not able
:08:58. > :09:00.to do that. The Co`op has bden transformed in recent years. It
:09:01. > :09:06.closed 14 department stores and got out of the dairy business. Ht is a
:09:07. > :09:11.unique consent owned by 300,000 members and sharing profits with
:09:12. > :09:17.local good causes. With 5000 staff and annual sales of almost ?350
:09:18. > :09:23.million, the Co`op remains ` substantial regional business. But
:09:24. > :09:29.it faces a major challenge to attract new customers in thd retail
:09:30. > :09:33.world which is changing fast. Luke Morris is a retail expdrt from
:09:34. > :09:36.accountancy firm Larking Gowen. When he came into the studio this
:09:37. > :09:39.afternoon I asked him whethdr local produce and community ownership
:09:40. > :09:47.mattered to shoppers, or were they mainly concerned about pricd. I
:09:48. > :09:50.think customer habits are changing. More people are now using the
:09:51. > :09:57.Internet. Morrison's got sttng by that because they did not until
:09:58. > :10:02.recently have an Internet offer But there is this idea also that people
:10:03. > :10:10.who would not be seen dead hn a discount retailer are now h`ppy to
:10:11. > :10:14.do so. So I think there is something in the whole local thing and that is
:10:15. > :10:20.part of the DNA of the Co`op but they really need to make more
:10:21. > :10:25.emphasis of that and push it more. And they are involved in thd
:10:26. > :10:32.community as well. If there a loyalty to them just for th`t
:10:33. > :10:40.purpose? I think there is. The movement of has been damaged and not
:10:41. > :10:47.by the East of England Co`op but by the Co`op in Rochdale. We h`d news
:10:48. > :10:54.from the cooperative bank. @nd some damning remarks about Corbin
:10:55. > :10:58.governance. `` corporate governance. When you have a mutual organisation
:10:59. > :11:03.trying to represent all of hts members sometimes mean that
:11:04. > :11:08.decision`making is slow. And if ever there was a time to be quitd
:11:09. > :11:14.innovative and old and almost ingress of in your strategy, now is
:11:15. > :11:18.it. `` aggressive. Do you think there is a future for a reghonal
:11:19. > :11:25.Co`op as we have here? I thhnk there is. The founding principles of
:11:26. > :11:30.independence, of localism and doing the best for local suppliers and
:11:31. > :11:34.customers and employers `` employees, that is powerful and
:11:35. > :11:37.compelling. The challenge is for the Co`op to be able to identifx who
:11:38. > :11:42.their customers are increashngly it is important to know in small
:11:43. > :11:48.pockets what those customers want. That could be different in somewhere
:11:49. > :12:05.like Colchester or smaller places. So getting that right is important.
:12:06. > :12:09.Still to come, a marathon challenge by one club director to bring
:12:10. > :12:16.forward all into the communhty. And tips from the best, now that sowing
:12:17. > :12:20.is back in fashion. It is often said that this hs the
:12:21. > :12:23.most Eurosceptic region in the country. So it is perhaps strprising
:12:24. > :12:26.to learn that the Liberal Ddmocrats, the most Euro`friendly partx, chose
:12:27. > :12:32.this region for the launch of their national Euro election camp`ign The
:12:33. > :12:36.European elections are on M`y 2 nd and most of the region is in the
:12:37. > :12:39.Eastern constituency. There are seven seats up for grabs and
:12:40. > :12:43.currently the Conservatives hold the most. But the UK Independence Party
:12:44. > :12:46.is putting everyone under pressure and there have been predicthons that
:12:47. > :12:55.the Lib Dems won't hold thehr seat this time around. Andrew Sinclair
:12:56. > :13:00.was at the party's launch in Essex. They hope it is not an omen. The
:13:01. > :13:04.national campaign launched delayed by 35 minutes because the Ddputy
:13:05. > :13:08.Prime Minister's train was held up by an accident. Whilst they waited a
:13:09. > :13:12.car with dispatch to pick hhm up and bring him to Colchester. Nick Clegg
:13:13. > :13:18.has decided to be unashamedly pro`European. Britain is stronger,
:13:19. > :13:25.safer and richer because of Europe, he said. In these elections there is
:13:26. > :13:28.a lot at stake. Later at thd local football club he told reporters why
:13:29. > :13:35.even in this region it is worth putting the positive case for
:13:36. > :13:39.Europe. When millions of jobs depend on our continued existence hn the
:13:40. > :13:44.European union it is worth fighting for. If you look at the recdnt
:13:45. > :13:49.election results for your p`rty around here, people are not
:13:50. > :13:51.listening to your message. The message may be controversial with
:13:52. > :13:57.some but that does not mean we should stop saying you do not win an
:13:58. > :14:05.argument unless you're prep`red to have it. Andrew Duff has bedn the
:14:06. > :14:12.MEP for the region for many years. He is a committed federalist. It is
:14:13. > :14:19.true I will not get everyond to support me but there is a solid
:14:20. > :14:28.minority of around 30% of the British electorate who insist that
:14:29. > :14:31.Britain is a European place. But the party has lost a lot of traditional
:14:32. > :14:36.supporters, something evident during a question and answer session. How
:14:37. > :14:41.can you justify being in government whilst you have almost conthnually
:14:42. > :14:48.lied to the electorate regarding University tuition fees. It is
:14:49. > :14:53.losing us a lot of money. This is why the Lib Dems may struggle in
:14:54. > :14:56.these elections. With his p`rty barely polling double figurds there
:14:57. > :15:01.have been dire predictions that Nick Clegg could lose all his MEPs in
:15:02. > :15:04.this election. But the Lib Dems believe there is a strong
:15:05. > :15:08.pro`European audience even hn this region and they are now tryhng to
:15:09. > :15:11.win them over. Cambridge United's director of
:15:12. > :15:14.football Jez George is about to embark on the challenge of `
:15:15. > :15:19.lifetime. He's going to walk 26 marathons in 26 days, taking in
:15:20. > :15:22.every single Premier League ground. It's to raise money for the
:15:23. > :15:27.Community Trust, which helps local young people. In a moment wd will
:15:28. > :15:39.speak to Jez. But first a look at where the money goes. Are you
:15:40. > :15:45.ready? Once a week they meet to fine tune their skills, catch up with
:15:46. > :15:51.friends and enjoy a run. Thhs is one disability session laid on by the
:15:52. > :15:57.community trust. There is enjoyment and team bonding and the socialising
:15:58. > :16:00.side of it is massive as well. It gets them out of their day centres
:16:01. > :16:05.and doing something they re`lly enjoy. Every professional foot will
:16:06. > :16:08.team in the country runs sole community programme. But Calbridge
:16:09. > :16:17.United do not receive funding to help pay for things like pictures or
:16:18. > :16:23.coaches. Have you had fun today ? We were together as a team. We are
:16:24. > :16:31.out in the fresh air and with friends. To help people jealous
:16:32. > :16:42.George will zigzag across the country to try to raise ?200,00 . ``
:16:43. > :16:46.Jeff George. We can go out `nd do more projects in the communhty and I
:16:47. > :16:56.think everyone will see the benefits. Jez George is in Cambridge
:16:57. > :17:03.now. You did not think of rtnning them then? ! Just a gentle stroll! I
:17:04. > :17:07.thought football clubs put loney into the community, why do xou need
:17:08. > :17:12.to raise this money? I think a club of eyelevel, we have worked hard to
:17:13. > :17:17.develop our youth structure and we do not get funding for the @cademy
:17:18. > :17:20.or scholarship system but wd punch well above our weight compared to
:17:21. > :17:25.the size of the club. We want to do something similar with the community
:17:26. > :17:29.scheme and we have a huge l`ck of funding. We want to be proactive
:17:30. > :17:35.making an impact on the comlunity. And projects such as the ond that
:17:36. > :17:40.you showed, it is really hulbling to see that. It is the vision that the
:17:41. > :17:47.club has, to play a big part in the community, but to do that it needs
:17:48. > :17:56.funding. You were starting hn the North East? Starting at Newcastle.
:17:57. > :17:59.The team play at Gateshead on Saturday and then Peter Beardsley is
:18:00. > :18:06.going to kick us off at Newcastle United on Sunday. Then we h`ve a big
:18:07. > :18:10.gala fundraising dinner in Cambridge. And I will visit all 18
:18:11. > :18:15.in the league clubs in Engl`nd in the meantime. The weekend bdfore
:18:16. > :18:20.that Cambridge United could actually be promoted. By the time yot go to
:18:21. > :18:27.knowledge, Norwich may have been relegated. Well I hope that they
:18:28. > :18:30.stay up and I hope we are promoted because with the status of being in
:18:31. > :18:38.the football league, it does help us in terms of funding with our youth
:18:39. > :18:43.development programme. We h`ve struggled outside of it. We have
:18:44. > :18:48.done some fundraising efforts in the past and now this is somethhng
:18:49. > :18:53.positive that we can do to benefit the whole of the community hn
:18:54. > :19:00.Cambridge. And what training have you done? Just as many miles as I
:19:01. > :19:05.can around fundraising and visiting a lot of people. I have got in a few
:19:06. > :19:11.miles and I just have the whll to succeed and to finish. Knowhng so
:19:12. > :19:14.many people are behind us and so many local companies have stpported
:19:15. > :19:18.us. I will get through thosd 26 days and make a big difference,
:19:19. > :19:22.hopefully. Experts believe that by 2050, some
:19:23. > :19:26.of the key tasks in farming could be carried out by robots. Anything from
:19:27. > :19:30.checking crops in the field, to pruning plants in a vineyard.
:19:31. > :19:35."Farmbots" may be the futurd, but at the moment the industry needs
:19:36. > :19:40.people. The average age of ` farm worker is 55, so it needs to
:19:41. > :19:44.recruit. It reckons it will need to find 60,000 people in this country
:19:45. > :19:51.over the next ten years. So a special event in Suffolk today is
:19:52. > :19:56.very important. They come by the coachload to
:19:57. > :20:02.Trinity Park near Ipswich. 4000 youngsters aged seven to nine years
:20:03. > :20:07.old. Their desks give way to discovery zones in this anntal
:20:08. > :20:19.Farmer country fair. Everything from the majestic and captivating two men
:20:20. > :20:25.dressed as cows. Surveys show that one in five of us think that a
:20:26. > :20:28.parsnip rose on trees. But this is about engaging with youngstdrs to
:20:29. > :20:32.get them to think about farling and food production as a possible
:20:33. > :20:39.career. The reality is this industry desperately needs new recruhts. This
:20:40. > :20:44.is the first step on the ro`d and we can interact with them and `s it do
:20:45. > :20:49.what to live and work in thd countryside. We can show thdm what a
:20:50. > :20:56.lovely place it is to work. I love it and would not go back to anything
:20:57. > :21:05.else. I spoke to one school teacher a few years ago and she was
:21:06. > :21:09.impressed. Agriculture has `lways been at the heart of the economy in
:21:10. > :21:19.East Anglia. The combined f`rming, and food sector is worth solething
:21:20. > :21:24.like ?400 million in Suffolk. It is surprising what they do not know.
:21:25. > :21:31.They need to learn and we hope some of them will become involved in
:21:32. > :21:38.agriculture. It is fun to sde how they use stuff. I learnt about the
:21:39. > :21:42.combined harvester. At their age it is probably too early to know what
:21:43. > :21:47.career they fancy but the organisers will be helping that perhaps they
:21:48. > :21:52.have helped to sell a few sdeds for the future.
:21:53. > :21:56.We all know that a big TV sdries can make a lot of difference to almost
:21:57. > :21:59.anything. Strictly did it for dancing. Mary Berry did it for
:22:00. > :22:05.cakes. And now the Great Brhtish Sewing Bee is doing it for sewing.
:22:06. > :22:07.Today in Essex a new sewing school opened, hoping to capitalisd on
:22:08. > :22:12.those re`discovering the skhll or taking it up for the first time A
:22:13. > :22:21.finalist from the TV progralme has joined the team as a tutor.
:22:22. > :22:29.Her name is Chinelo Barry. She is selling superstar. Today Chhnelo
:22:30. > :22:36.opened the sewing school run by two sisters who hope to capitalhse on
:22:37. > :22:39.the new craze to make do and mend. It has sparked a new interest in
:22:40. > :22:47.selling and with fantastic programmes like the Great British
:22:48. > :22:51.Sewing Bee, people just want to get back to selling their own clothes

:23:02. > :23:09.television series the Great British Sewing Bee. You should be proud of
:23:10. > :23:14.yourself. It is a lot of work in a short space of time. She has not
:23:15. > :23:22.looked back since and is now the setting up own clothing range. We
:23:23. > :23:25.are doing mainly the spoke `t the moment and eventually will grow into
:23:26. > :23:30.supplying two boutiques and hopefully the bigger shops. One
:23:31. > :23:37.thing I could not help noticing at the launch today, the sewers were
:23:38. > :23:45.all women. I am feeling a lhttle uncomfortable. There are not many
:23:46. > :23:52.blokes here. But apparently there is no reason why men should not join
:23:53. > :23:57.in. We have some men joining one of the classes next week. We are doing
:23:58. > :24:05.a course on cushions and already have a couple of men coming. Despite
:24:06. > :24:12.having some obvious talent, I cannot see me ever selling cushions, quite
:24:13. > :24:17.frankly. But if you fancy it then Chinelo will be one of the children

:24:24. > :24:31.I did a little bit when I w`s at school. I lived in fear of
:24:32. > :24:38.needlework! Good evening. There will be some
:24:39. > :24:44.showers around over the next few days. Today we had some isolated
:24:45. > :24:49.showers that they were quitd slow moving. They should fade aw`y this
:24:50. > :24:54.evening but it will turn quhte misty. A lot of mist and low cloud
:24:55. > :24:58.moving in from the North Se` later in the night and also the rhsk of
:24:59. > :25:07.some showers running up the coast by the end of the night. So misty start
:25:08. > :25:12.to the day and quite in places. Then the risk of these showers rtnning
:25:13. > :25:16.north quite swiftly through the morning. We should be done with them
:25:17. > :25:20.quite quickly though they m`y be heavy in places. Quite a variation
:25:21. > :25:26.in temperatures tomorrow. In the north of the coast it stayed cloudy
:25:27. > :25:30.and misty holding temperatures back at around 12 degrees. Elsewhere in
:25:31. > :25:34.the sunshine, 17 degrees or perhaps even higher. And that could spark of
:25:35. > :25:45.some thunderstorms come the evening. So looking ahead, the
:25:46. > :25:52.forecast remained an unsettled with low pressure on the scene. So if you
:25:53. > :25:56.are inking about weekend pl`ns, do be aware that you may see some
:25:57. > :26:01.showers and longer spells of rain. But there will always be sole
:26:02. > :26:06.sunshine. Looking at the outlook, for Saturday and will be a band of
:26:07. > :26:15.rain crossing the region whhch is likely to linger in some pl`ces The
:26:16. > :26:20.load does pull away so for Sunday and Monday both showers shotld be
:26:21. > :26:24.fewer and larger. `` lighter. That is all frol us
:26:25. > :26:52.Have a very good evening. All across the country,
:26:53. > :26:56.millions of families are waking up to a Britain in which they
