:00:52. > :00:57.The retiring GP from North Lincolnshire who's signing off with
:00:58. > :01:08.a magic show. Don't forget the detailed forecast follows in 15
:01:09. > :01:11.minutes. When his son Lewis started taking
:01:12. > :01:20.drugs, David Dale was drawn into a world he never knew existed. At the
:01:21. > :01:22.age of 17 while high on M`Cat, world he never knew existed. At the

:01:32. > :01:35.shows us how easy it is to buy drugs in Hull, according to him as easy as
:01:36. > :01:37.buying a packet of crisps. David Dale wants other parents to
:01:38. > :01:46.understand the risks posed to teenagers. In a moment I'll speak to
:01:47. > :01:49.the officer responsible for city centre policing, but first Vicky
:01:50. > :01:53.Johnson has this report. Four years ago, mephedrone ` known
:01:54. > :01:56.as M`Cat ` was a legal high and easy to buy from specialist shops or the
:01:57. > :01:59.internet. Then in 2010, the Government banned it. This will stop
:02:00. > :02:06.unscrupulous manufacturers `nd others peddling similar, harmful
:02:07. > :02:10.drugs. But it's still readily available on the streets, and cheap
:02:11. > :02:13.according to this 15`year`old. His words have been revoiced to protect
:02:14. > :02:18.his identity. Very easy. It was harder to get
:02:19. > :02:21.someone to go into a shop and get a pack of fags for me. ?10 a gram or
:02:22. > :02:24.pack of fags for me. ?10 a gram, or clothes exchange, electrical items,
:02:25. > :02:27.anything of value. Lewis Dale killed his grandmother and attacked his
:02:28. > :02:31.grandfather while high on drugs last year. He'd started taking mdphedrone
:02:32. > :02:39.year. He'd started taking mephedrone when he was just 14. His father,
:02:40. > :02:44.David, who's never taken drtgs, has recently done his own enquiries. It
:02:45. > :02:48.is literally a plague. Kids can get it. It's not a problem for them.
:02:49. > :02:50.Like buying a bag of crisps. 3. 0 now. Soon as I get it, I shall ring
:02:51. > :02:53.now. Soon as I get it, I sh`ll ring you back.
:02:54. > :02:57.David went off on his own, talking to people he came across in Hull
:02:58. > :03:01.City centre. Before the hour was up, we got a call to meet him.
:03:02. > :03:07.Got what I intended to get. There you go. Crystal M`Cat. But we
:03:08. > :03:08.couldn't be sure whether thhs substance was indeed mephedrone,
:03:09. > :03:08.couldn't be sure whether this substance was indeed mephedrone so
:03:09. > :03:10.substance was indeed mephedrone, so we took it to the Universitx
:03:11. > :03:12.substance was indeed mephedrone so we took it to the University of
:03:13. > :03:18.Lincoln for analysis. It matches mephodrone hydrochloride.
:03:19. > :03:20.That's one of the main ingrddients. A second test was carried out to

:03:21. > :03:25.A second test was carried out to see if there were any other substances
:03:26. > :03:31.in the sample. We are fairly certain, as certain as can be at
:03:32. > :03:39.this point, that it is mephodrone. We will need further testing to
:03:40. > :03:47.unequivocally be certain. It's not been bulked up. It is pure, or near
:03:48. > :03:52.enough, mephodrone. So our sample is now being destroyed by being mixed
:03:53. > :03:58.in this bottle with a solvent. After that, it'll be incinerated. While
:03:59. > :04:00.mephedrone use is rife in Htll, according to this teenager, he's
:04:01. > :04:01.given up the drug because he according to this teenager, he's

:04:11. > :04:14.you not care about the ones you love. You can hallucinate off it, it
:04:15. > :04:18.can do all sorts of things to you. You don't realise you're destroying

:04:20. > :04:23.police agree more research hs needed. The concern we have around
:04:24. > :04:26.mephedrone is people don't understand what they're taking, they
:04:27. > :04:30.don't necessarily understand the risks and dangers. We are jtst
:04:31. > :04:41.starting to see some of the longer`term effects coming through.
:04:42. > :04:44.The police say for many mephedrone has become the drug of choice. And
:04:45. > :04:46.they aare urging the public to get in touch if they suspect drug

:05:06. > :05:11.it will shock a lot of parents watching. We know illicit drugs are
:05:12. > :05:16.available on the streets of Britain nationally. I do not think Hull is
:05:17. > :05:20.worse than anywhere else. Wd are concerned about the prevalence of

:05:37. > :05:40.those who deal illicit drugs. If he wants to pass me information of who
:05:41. > :05:45.he bought the M`Cat from, we will take action. It is worrying that
:05:46. > :05:47.somebody who does not know `bout drugs can go and get some within an

:19:22. > :19:24.Earlier I spoke to the Leaddr of East Riding of Yorkshire Council `
:19:25. > :19:27.Councillor Stephen Parnaby ` and I asked him if the current system was
:19:28. > :19:31.holding Hull back. No, not at all. Events of this last
:19:32. > :19:32.week have proved that both authorities can work togethdr and
:19:33. > :19:36.authorities can work together and administration boundaries don't mean
:19:37. > :19:40.a thing when it comes to investment. Do you think asking people in places
:19:41. > :19:47.like Kirkella if they want to be part of Hull is like asking turkeys
:19:48. > :19:50.if they want a vote for Christmas? Well, I think it is, actually, and
:19:51. > :19:54.that is the ridiculous situ`tion we find ourselves in. Ask the people
:19:55. > :20:00.first, then if you get the support or you don't, you leave well alone.
:20:01. > :20:03.What it somewhere like Cottingham voted to be part of Hull? What
:20:04. > :20:08.happens then? Well, if it does, we'll abide by the results of the
:20:09. > :20:16.referendum. I'm not a betting man, but if I was, I would be betting
:20:17. > :20:21.that way. Isn't this just snobbery? Well, what I would say is, I didn't
:20:22. > :20:24.start this, but we've got a duty to represent the residents of the East
:20:25. > :20:29.Riding wherever they are, and we will do that and ask them their
:20:30. > :20:46.views. That's my duty. What about my question? Is it snobbery? Do I think
:20:47. > :20:51.it's snobbery? Yes. No, not at. `` not at all. Yeah, but you want
:20:52. > :20:54.people to be able to come into Hull, use the museums, use the thdatres,
:20:55. > :20:58.without those people of the East Riding contributing. Well, the best
:20:59. > :21:01.thing to do is run them likd we run our theatres, like the Spa, so they
:21:02. > :21:04.don't cost the council taxpayer anything ` our leisure centres don't
:21:05. > :21:08.cost the council tax payers anything. The trick is, run them so
:21:09. > :21:11.they don't cost anything, then you can welcome people in, they can use
:21:12. > :21:14.your facilities and do things like eat at restaurants, going to bars
:21:15. > :21:18.and spending their money elsewhere. Can I ask you finally, do you think
:21:19. > :21:21.that Hull is disadvantaged by not having the leafy wealthy suburbs?
:21:22. > :21:24.No, not at all. There's plenty of examples across the country where
:21:25. > :21:33.similar situation happens in many other cities. Councillor Parnaby,
:21:34. > :21:40.good to talk to you. Thank xou very much indeed. All right, Peter. If
:21:41. > :21:43.you live in places on the edge of Hull like Hedon, Hessle and
:21:44. > :21:45.Cottingham what do you think of this referendum? Would you welcome being
:21:46. > :21:49.referendum? Would you welcole being absorbed into Hull? What if you live
:21:50. > :21:51.in Hull ` should the city expand to take in some existing East Riding
:21:52. > :22:17.communities? A Hull school has ben rated as
:22:18. > :22:21.outstanding in all categories by Ofsted. Sirius Academy, which opened
:22:22. > :22:24.five years ago, is one of fdwer than 50 academies across the country to
:22:25. > :22:26.be marked so highly. It was praised for "creating a positive clhmate for
:22:27. > :22:33.learning." We're absolutely delighted with the
:22:34. > :22:36.news. It's a real testament to the work of the staff, governors and the
