:01:47. > :01:49.already cost the taxpayers two million pounds and now
:01:50. > :01:51.Victoria Mill in Grimsby has been bought by the local authority
:01:52. > :01:54.which admits even more cash North East Lincolnshire Council says
:01:55. > :01:58.it was forced into buying the Mill, which is a listed building after it
:01:59. > :02:00.became unsafe, threatening It's now looking for a private
:02:01. > :02:26.investor to help turn the mill Problems began a year ago when
:02:27. > :02:30.people living nearby were moved out due to safety concerns. The council
:02:31. > :02:33.spent ?1 million repeating the building. They tried to get the
:02:34. > :02:38.orders of the building to pay for the repairs, but to no avail. In
:02:39. > :02:43.August, the council said the repair bill had risen by a further ?1
:02:44. > :02:48.million, an issue raised in the Commons by the Cleethorpes MP, who
:02:49. > :02:53.said the council needed help in recouping the money. This week, it's
:02:54. > :02:59.been announced an agreement has been reached by the council to purchase
:03:00. > :03:06.the building for ?1. Property values have gone down and people are coming
:03:07. > :03:09.up and licking at the building. David lives in the adjacent flats
:03:10. > :03:15.and was one of the residency have to be evacuated while repairs were
:03:16. > :03:19.carried out. If we know who owns it and they are doing something about
:03:20. > :03:26.it, and hopefully it'll start the ball rolling. This saga has left the
:03:27. > :03:33.council was quite a bill. The repairs alone are costing ?2.2
:03:34. > :03:37.million. The scaffolding is costing ?7,000 a week. And then there is the
:03:38. > :03:41.accommodation for those who had to be evacuated from their homes for
:03:42. > :03:48.four months. Quite a bill for a cash strapped local authority. Has this
:03:49. > :03:53.been a wise spender of taxpayers' money? It's been a necessarily spend
:03:54. > :03:58.of taxpayers' money, because of the health and safety risks. We had to
:03:59. > :04:03.do it. It was an eyesore before, because there were pictures coming
:04:04. > :04:06.out of the roof and it really looked dreadful, but I suppose, if it's
:04:07. > :04:15.going to be put to some use, then that's OK. It cost ?2 million for
:04:16. > :04:20.that! That's Grimsby heritage therefore you. I think it's a waste
:04:21. > :04:26.of money. They want to spend more money on the town centre. It came at
:04:27. > :04:27.a price, but Victoria Mills is no longer in limbo. Work can now start
:04:28. > :04:31.to give it a future. Caroline is in Grimsby tonight,
:04:32. > :04:34.how realistic is it to expect something to be done
:04:35. > :04:44.to the Mill soon? The repairs will be finished until
:04:45. > :04:47.May and then all of the scaffolding needs to be brought down. I suppose
:04:48. > :04:50.the important thing is that the council have told me today that no
:04:51. > :04:56.more public money will be ploughed into this. Private investment will
:04:57. > :05:01.now be sought to develop the site. Early days yet, but ideas on the
:05:02. > :05:07.table includes plans to incorporate this into a larger development of
:05:08. > :05:12.this area around a maritime heritage theme. It is just an idea, but for
:05:13. > :05:14.the first time in over 50 years now, that is top of the future for this
:05:15. > :05:20.building. Earlier I spoke to Ben Robinson
:05:21. > :05:22.from Historic England, who campaign to protect historic
:05:23. > :05:25.buildings and have already paid out I asked him how important this Grade
:05:26. > :05:35.II Victoria Mill building is. It's very unusual for us to provide
:05:36. > :05:38.any funding for a Grade II building, so we recognise it as amongst
:05:39. > :05:41.the top Grade II buildings Most of our work is concentrated
:05:42. > :05:46.on Grade I and II*, so it's a really Councils have a duty to look
:05:47. > :06:01.after the buildings in their area, they have legislation that they can
:06:02. > :06:04.apply, they have a duty to think about regeneration and the quality
:06:05. > :06:06.of the built environment So this council is doing
:06:07. > :06:14.exactly the right thing. But 2.2 million
:06:15. > :06:16.on repairs in a year. Councils are cash-strapped,
:06:17. > :06:24.there are other things How can we justify
:06:25. > :06:27.that amount of money? I think it's important
:06:28. > :06:29.to say that the initial investment hopefully
:06:30. > :06:31.will realise long-term benefits. This isn't about preserving heritage
:06:32. > :06:38.for heritage's sake. This is about the role that
:06:39. > :06:41.important buildings like this can There are plenty of these old,
:06:42. > :06:47.derelict buildings. Well, in terms of Grade II
:06:48. > :06:57.buildings, you're talking about buildings of national
:06:58. > :06:58.significance, so this is not just a locally
:06:59. > :07:00.significant building, this is a building of
:07:01. > :07:02.national significance. It's been a landmark
:07:03. > :07:06.for 100 years in Grimsby. But do you think people really care,
:07:07. > :07:10.when there are so many other priorities that the councils need
:07:11. > :07:12.to spend their money on? Do you think they're
:07:13. > :07:14.really bothered? It's one aspect of the sort of work
:07:15. > :07:17.that councils should be doing. They've been decisive in this case,
:07:18. > :07:19.they've shown leadership. And when there are sums of money
:07:20. > :07:21.available for regeneration, for reinvigoration of places,
:07:22. > :07:24.it's those councils that are showing the sort of leadership that
:07:25. > :07:32.should be first in line. Those councils that recognise
:07:33. > :07:39.the importance of their built this sort of leadership that should
:07:40. > :07:42.be first in line. Those councils that recognise
:07:43. > :07:44.the importance of their built environment and what it means
:07:45. > :07:46.for the future. Because as I say, this isn't
:07:47. > :07:49.about the history of the place, What can we get this building doing
:07:50. > :07:53.and contributing to Grimsby? But if you're spending
:07:54. > :07:55.money on a building just to stop the repairs,
:07:56. > :07:57.just to keep it safe, but it's still going to stand empty
:07:58. > :07:59.and derelict, derelict, but it's still going to stand empty
:08:00. > :08:03.and derelict, what's the point? The council had to step
:08:04. > :08:08.in and undertake emergency measures. And our support is
:08:09. > :08:10.for that urgent work. We've been able to provide some
:08:11. > :08:12.money towards that urgent work You have to stop building falling
:08:13. > :08:17.down in order to preserve it, in order for it to work
:08:18. > :08:20.in the long term. And here, of course,
:08:21. > :08:22.it was people's homes that were at risk as well,
:08:23. > :08:24.it wasn't just the building itself. This is a place where people
:08:25. > :08:27.live, and their homes I'm sure people will have strong
:08:28. > :08:33.views on this either way. Mr Robinson, very good
:08:34. > :08:35.to talk to you tonight. Were the council right to step
:08:36. > :08:43.in and pay to fix this building Should we be able to
:08:44. > :08:46.knock down buildings that are dangerous -
:08:47. > :08:48.irrespective of whether Should the council be
:08:49. > :08:51.concentrating on their main work like bins and social care -
:08:52. > :09:09.rather than taking If you want to be in touch, if you
:09:10. > :09:26.think money should be found, your views, get in touch.

:23:51. > :23:53.It came in the post decades overdue with a note of apology.

:24:13. > :24:16.There are also those who return books and those who don't,
:24:17. > :24:25.well, strictly speaking they do, but wait 36 years to do it.
:24:26. > :24:31.We had our book returned to the library, it was just put through the
:24:32. > :24:38.post box and it had a note in to say, I am sorry it is 36 years
:24:39. > :24:43.overdue. We assume there will be no fines, because we were under 18 when
:24:44. > :24:47.it was borrowed. It's a nice book to get back anyway, but when we noticed
:24:48. > :24:52.the date and the note, we were a bit surprised. It is out of print, so we
:24:53. > :24:58.wouldn't be able to get hold of it again. It's a local studies book
:24:59. > :25:01.about York and it has some really beautiful illustrations in it. You
:25:02. > :25:08.can order it if you want to have a look at it. But please don't keep it
:25:09. > :25:11.or 36 years. That is pretend it was me who borrowed that book, which it
:25:12. > :25:19.wasn't. What kind of reaction would I have got? Is coming up at ?1314,
:25:20. > :25:21.please. Maybe that's why they stayed anonymous.
:25:22. > :25:23.That's an estimated figure at the 10p a day charge,
:25:24. > :25:26.but in reality, there's a ?10 cap here for overdue books,
:25:27. > :25:29.and it doesn't cost under 18s, however, would you take it back
:25:30. > :25:40.I think it's amazing, I definitely wouldn't have brought it back, I
:25:41. > :25:43.would probably have deleted it to charity. I think it's very good of
:25:44. > :25:48.them to finally return it, better late than never. But yes, I should
:25:49. > :25:55.imagine that's quite a hefty fine amount. 36 is a long time, years.
:25:56. > :25:56.They probably could have fitted into their schedule.
:25:57. > :25:59.There is an exception to the rule as this old note
:26:00. > :26:01.from the county librarian says, they don't want books back
:26:02. > :26:03.if an infectious disease breaks out in your house,
