Coming up in the next 30 minutes, they died in a nightclub stampede

nearly two years ago. Tonight, questions as to why the

investigation has taken so long. That and the rest of your top

stories tonight. Out of action, mobile blood donor

units are being taken off the road to save money.

Remember this? One of the biggest collections of classic computers and

games finds a new home in Cambridge. Attributes to the creative genius

behind only. Horses. -- and tributes. -- Only Fools And

Horses. Good evening. It is nearly two years since two girls died as a

result of the nightclub stampede in Northampton. Tonight, questions are

being asked as to why it has taken so long to find out what went wrong.

Reports by the police and the council have finally been

completed. It is now up to the Crown Prosecution Service to decide if

they can press any charges. Two women with bright futures,

killed nearly two years ago. 22-year-old Nabila Nanfuka, studying

at Northampton University, and 19-year-old, Laurene-Danielle

Jackson, a student from London. They both died as a result of a crush of

people on this nightclub stairwell. CCTV cameras captured the aftermath.

It is thought that 1500 people were in the club within the capacity.

Many were left in shock and looked for someone to blame. There were so

many policemen outside and they did not coming until they heard screams.

It is disgraceful. They could have avoided this. At the time, officers

said the first they heard of the event was a report from a patrol car

of a large group of students. One partygoer inside remembers being

stamped on and then woke up in hospital. People were tramping on

me. I was shouting them, telling them to get off me. And remember

being forcefully pushed down, and my head went towards the exit. They

stepped on my body, but I cannot remember the pain. All along, and

major challenge has been tracing students who had travelled from

across the country. In the report, the police have been investigating

when it was announced to the crowd that buses to take them home had

arrived. And whether that led everyone to surge forward. And at

what time the fire alarm went off. This week, the borough council will

submit their evidence. They admit gathering the best information has

taken longer than they would have liked.

criminal charges should be brought. The blood transfusion service in

will be less people surviving surgery. Unless there is some

breakthrough where they can make synthetic blood, everybody is going

to have to do give mandatorily. There are seven vans in the East but

five of them are being taken off the road. Managers say they want to

concentrate resources and permanent centres in Cambridge and Essex, as

well as using temporary sites. you look at how we currently collect

blood, we collect 75 units with four staff, but we could collect 45 units

with two more staff. The cost savings are significant. It allows

us to collect more blood more effectively. Managers say saved

money will go back into front-line services. This will bring cost per

unit -- the cost per unit of blood down. Keith has donated over 150

pints of blood. He is so annoyed he has written to his MP. People who

use them feel it is a more personal service. At the big sessions, you're

just being processed as if you were in the queue at Tesco's. Blood will

still be collected, but it could make some people think twice before

making donations in the future. Finding affordable housing is a

problem facing thousands of families across this region. Latest figures

show that we have our own North-South divide. Areas like

Cambridge, Harlow and Milton Keynes are off-limits. Buying and renting

is just too expensive for low income families. Just about affordable

Arlington, Bedford and Northampton. For lower rent, families need to go

to Fenland, Corby and Kettering. It means that many people are being

placed out of the area they grew up. -- priced out of the area.

Stress in Cambridgeshire, where finding affordable housing is never

easy. -- Streatham. But now our special project is open to change

that. Here, they plan to build 50 new homes with full priced ones

paying for affordable housing. It is described as ground-breaking.

Normally, we work for developers and their motivation is profit. What

we're doing here is entirely different. My client is the village,

so rather than looking for as many houses as possible on the site,

we're thinking more about how the development integrates with the

village. The homes in Streatham are being created by locally formed

community land trust, the first in Cambridgeshire to allow people to

work where they live. We have carers who work in the health service and

cannot afford to compete with the property prices. So they are

travelling 20 or 30 miles a day to look after people in our community.

We do not think that is right. This is what we're to address. A visit to

a local estate agent highlights what a problem it is to find affordable

housing in the ten or 12 miles around here. There are only seven

properties and if you want a two bedroom property, it will cost you

up to �800,000 a month in Streatham. It is quite expensive. Both rental

and purchased properties. But that is a choice you have to make if you

want to live in these areas. It is a popular village because it is close

to Cambridge. There is no luck finding a house. If there was more

affordable housing, it would be great. Houses could be built here by

this time next year when more community land projects are expected

to start across the region. Two years after the murder of a

pensioner in Wellingborough, police are appealing again for help to find

his killer. Karoly Wagner was attacked in his home but his body

was not found for three days. His attacker you today -- used a hatchet

type weapon which has never been found. The back door keys and the

murder weapon are still outstanding. There is still a pair of training

shoes that we are keen to find. The family have put up a �10,000 award

and no one has come forward to claim it will provide information. The

family cannot find closure until they manage your -- matter is

resolved. Management at a privately run hospital in Huntington have

applied for a �3.5 million government loan. When the company

took over Hinchingbrooke Hospital, it already had a debt of nearly �40

million. The firm says the new loan, if approved, will be used to

renovate the hospital buildings. Train services have started running

on a new multi-million pound rail flyover at Hitchin. The new link

will constantly for trains from London to Cambridge, Peterborough

and Kings Lynn. Until now, trains have had to cross three other lines

to switch onto the right track. Commuters travelling between King's

Cross and Cambridge. The majority of trains run on time but at peak

periods, there are problems at Hitchin where trains on the East

Coast Main line had to cross three other tracks, causing other services

to queue. There has been an increase of 35% in the last few years. More

and more trains are standing. And you are looking at around 30,000

minutes a year in delay. solution is a new �47 million

flyover. It passes over the other tracks below. The track is two

kilometres in length and took 18 months to build. Now the first rains

have started to use it. It is fantastic. You are on the mainline

and then you go off on to the equivalent of a bypass, a flyover,

and then it joins further up on the mainline, and off to Cambridge and

Kings Lynn. I've experienced delays the time so I find the train is

either incredibly fast or you can lose an hour quite easily. -- I

they going to save journey time supposed to cost? -- save injury had
