Welcome to Tuesday's Look North. In tonight's headlines: will they miss | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
the winter? An investigation after it's revealed a new fleet of snow | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
gritters won't arrive until January at the earliest. More bad news for | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
troubled Cleveland Police. After a six-year low - crime is up. Some | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
say an internal inquiry's to blame. The mother of a 12-year-old boy | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
killed by a young driver calls for government action to make our roads | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
safer. Still very angry. We kept him safe all that time then someone | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
just wiped his life out. And Gloria's Garden. The broadcaster | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
lends her support to a Durham hospice. Motorsport fans are left | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
reeling as the region's main circuit turns down one of its | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
biggest events. And, fancy seeing you again! Jockey and horse re- | :00:58. | :01:08. | |
united six years after one of their After two years of early snowfalls | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
in the region, our local authorities have been telling us | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
how they're ready for the worst the weather can throw at us. But | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
Northumberland County Council will not be as well-prepared for the | :01:16. | :01:25. | |
start of winter as it had had hoped. An urgent investigation has been | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
launched after news that a fleet of new snow gritters won't arrive | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
until January at the earliest. Officials say it won't affect the | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
winter gritting schedule, but some politicians say the council's | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
winter preparations are in chaos. Here's our Correspondent, Mark | :01:36. | :01:44. | |
Denten. It is almost exactly a year since these scenes. November 24th, | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
2010, and winter came early. Northumberland County Council must | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
It has emerged that an order for five new gritters for the South | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
East of the county was only placed by the council in the summer. The | :01:58. | :02:06. | |
gritters won't get here until January. On the face of it, it | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
looks as though an hour has been made, a major hour, but the reality | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
is, the process may not have been as efficient as it might have been, | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
but we can sort that out. Council says its winter gritting | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
plans are on schedule, but opposition councillors are worried. | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
I am absolutely horrified. These are vehicles that it was agreed we | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
needed last January, in the worst of the winter weather, and almost | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
one year on, we're still not here. And Northumberland Council tax | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
payers we spoke to are looking for an explanation. Are you happy? | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
definite when not. Last winter was bad enough. It is crazy. It is just | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
the same as before - nothing changes. We have a very bad winter | :03:00. | :03:10. | |
:03:10. | :03:12. | ||
last year. In November. It is a disgrace. As you can see it this | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
council depot, there is plenty of grit, but are there enough gritters | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
to get it out on a rose? We have a full complement of gritters that | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
have all been refurbished. We have had a job getting them up to | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
scratch after the severe effect that Winter had upon them. | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
County Council says it won't actually pay the �304,000 for the | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
new gritters until they arrive in the region.But that could be after | :03:38. | :03:46. | |
the winter has already done its worst. A psychiatrist has told the | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
inquest into the death of Ashleigh Ewing how the man who killed her | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
had stopped taking anti-psychotic drugs a little over a fortnight | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
before the tragedy. Ashleigh died at the hands of Ronald Dixon after | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
she'd been sent to visit him alone by the mental health charity she | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
worked for. Dixon was sent to a secure hospital after admitting | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
manslaughter due to diminished responsibility. Chris Stewart | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
reports from the inquest in Newcastle. Ashleigh Ewing was just | :04:10. | :04:20. | |
:04:20. | :04:21. | ||
22 when she died. That was in 2006. But only now has anyone from the | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
NHS given their side of the story. It came here at Newcastle Coroner's | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
Court, where we were told how Ronald Dixon went to Buckingham | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
Palace with his dog, telling a police officer that he was there to | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
kill the Queen, and that led them being detained for 28 days under | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
the Mental Health at, but when he was transferred to Newcastle, a | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
clinical team decided there was no clinical justification for | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
detaining him further, and he was released. Dixon had previously | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
attacked his own parents with a hammer. The inquest heard drugs | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
were used to help keep him stable, and that he had delusions that he | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
was royalty. On May 2nd, 2006, a psychiatrist went to see him at his | :05:04. | :05:13. | |
flat in Newcastle. Ashleigh's family listened as Dr Patrick Keown | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
said Dixon was by now refusing to take anti-psychotic drugs - but the | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
doctor said his mental health was as good as he'd seen it. In the | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
days following, however, mental health workers couldn't contact | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
Dixon. Neither could representatives from Mental Health | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
Matters, a charity based in Sunderland which housed Dixon and | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
which employed Ashleigh. On May 19th, she was sent to visit him and | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
was killed - stabbed as many as 40 times. The coroner, David Mitford, | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
put it to Dr Keown that the lack of contact represented a breakdown in | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
Dixon's care plan. Dr Keown said that if anyone had said during this | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
time that they thought Dixon was mentally ill, he would have visited | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
him, he could not say that, said the coroner, because they couldn't | :05:56. | :06:06. | |
:06:06. | :06:08. | ||
get to see him. Earlier this year - Cleveland Police was voted the | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
country's top police force. Public confidence was at a record high and | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
crime figures an all-time low. But now Cleveland Police is itself | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
embroiled in a high profile corruption investigation. And | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
recorded crime has - for the first time in six years - increased in | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
the area. That's led to some critics accusing the force of | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
taking its eye off the ball. Stuart Whincup reports. It's the headline | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
no police force or politician wants. Recorded crime on the increase. | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
Rises in vehicle crime, burglary, theft and robbery come as the force | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
itself is embroiled in a major criminal investigation into | :06:43. | :06:51. | |
corruption. It is definitely a concern. Other police concentrate | :06:51. | :06:59. | |
more than what is happening with the street comforter -- are the | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
police concentrating more on what is happening with the Chief | :07:02. | :07:12. | |
:07:12. | :07:13. | ||
Constable, Ra than what is happening on the streets? -- rather | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
than. The increase is more significant than dramatic. 335 more | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
crimes have been committed than this time last year. But the force | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
says 84% people were satisfied with the service the received from | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
Cleveland Police. So do people in the Gresham area of Middlesbrough | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
believe the police are doing a good job? I think they do a very good | :07:33. | :07:43. | |
:07:43. | :07:44. | ||
job. We get a lot of police cars up and down the road. It takes them | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
half-an-hour, an hour and a half to come. A I think the police but | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
brilliant job considering the numbers they have banned the area | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
they beat the cover. We see very little crime round here. He | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
increase in crime the force says has more to do with the recession | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
and financial pressures, than Cleveland's corruption | :08:02. | :08:11. | |
investigation. The priorities are in criminal damage. Metal theft is | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
increasing, which has to do with international pressures on the | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
price of metal, and we are targeting shop crime. If we can | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
achieve targets in these areas, the overall levels of crime will fall. | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
Patrols will be increased in areas that are deemed to be crime | :08:26. | :08:36. | |
hotspots. A mother from Sunderland whose 12 year old son was killed by | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
a speeding driver is calling for a change in the way driving licences | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
are issued to young people. Steven Atkinson died in October 2009. His | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
mother, Violet, has been speaking today at the launch of Road Safety | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
Week in the North East. Adele Robinson reports. Steven Atkinson | :08:55. | :09:05. | |
:09:05. | :09:06. | ||
overcame more than most do in a lifetime. Born with health problems | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
and diagnosed with Leukemia at the age of 3, he'd battled to stay | :09:09. | :09:16. | |
alive. But at the age of 12, Steven was knocked off his bike and killed | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
by a speeding driver. I am very angry because be kept in safe for | :09:21. | :09:28. | |
all that time and then someone just white is live out. Last year 21 | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
year old Ross Telfer was convicted of death by careless driving and | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
sentenced to eight months in prison. Today for Road Safety Week Violet's | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
backing calls for a graduated driving license. A way of gaining a | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
license over a longer period of time, in stages. The longer you | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
have learned to Drive, the more aware you are of your car, you know | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
what you're doing. Violet's supporting Road safety charity | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
Brake. They're targeting the region's high number of deaths | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
involving young drivers. The problem is not getting better. | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
Every six weeks, Adam Pearce has killed on roads in the North East, | :09:58. | :10:06. | |
and every two days, a young person suffers a serious injury. Today's | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
car crash scene at Sunderland College hit home. Alex was knocked | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
down by a car last week. It shows the seriousness of what could have | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
happened, if I was a passenger in the car. And also if they had been | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
speeding was up yes, if they had been gone that fast. It is very | :10:24. | :10:31. | |
upsetting. My boyfriend had at the very same thing, to see the re- | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
enactment, it brings back bad memories, when I walk past, when it | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
was happening, so I felt really upset. The demand today is for | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
government action. A drive up and down the country for a new | :10:45. | :10:52. | |
licensing plan - it's said - could save lives. This week, the | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
Government announced help for first time buyers struggling to get on | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
the housing ladder. And the news has been welcomed by some in the | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
Cumbrian town of Keswick. A number of greenfield sites have been | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
proposed for building new homes in the area, which is in the heart of | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
the Lake District National Park. But many existing home-owners are | :11:08. | :11:15. | |
against it. Alison Freeman has more. When Daniel Reed goes home, it's | :11:15. | :11:22. | |
not to his own place. At 27, he still lives with his parents. | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
Studying for a PHD, with the hope of becoming a lecturer. He'll end | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
up with an above average salary of more than �30,000 - but it still | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
won't be enough to buy a house in Keswick. I have grown up you all my | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
life. I have friends and family here. I am into running and cycling | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
and I want to continue to enjoy that. I love the countryside. Just | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
to move away because I cannot afford to live here. A two bedroom | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
flat in Keswick costs more than �200,000 - that's at least ten | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
times the salary of a shop worker, so the national parks authority has | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
come up with a solution - it's suggesting four green field sites | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
which affordable housing could be built on - and that's controversial, | :12:02. | :12:12. | |
:12:12. | :12:14. | ||
to say the very least. Some who live near the proposed sites agree | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
there's a need for affordable homes, but the move would set a dangerous | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
precedent. I have a three-year-old daughter. I was walking down here | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
with a, and they said people had suggested building houses on this | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
site, and she said, well, that is horrid. Sheep and cows belong in | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
feels Foster and they think she got it about right. People come here | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
because it is a beautiful place. If you start expanding the town out | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
was, that detracts from a national park. We will end up killing the | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
goose that lays the golden egg if we do not build houses poor. It is | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
that young people are keep the town alive, in terms of teachers, carers, | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
people working in shops, all that economic activity will disappear, | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
as well. Many argue unused brownfield sites in the town centre | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
should be turned into homes first. But the National Park Athority says | :13:07. | :13:17. | |
:13:17. | :13:21. | ||
business sites where jobs can be If you have been falling and the | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
weather forecasts you will know that temperatures are falling | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
tonight. But that is in nothing compared to what one university | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
student will face. She is trekking to the South Pole, beginning | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
tomorrow. She will see more than 700 miles hoping to become the | :13:40. | :13:50. | |
:13:50. | :13:50. | ||
youngest Briton to do so. -- skiing. The weather in Antarctica is never | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
forgiving. In the summer temperatures still dropped to minus | :13:56. | :14:04. | |
ten. But it could become much colder. The expedition team are | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
seasoned traveller's but a Brioni is confident in her own abilities. | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
I have been mountaineering since the age of 17 and have a good level | :14:15. | :14:21. | |
of experience. I can handle myself in a small group. I am quite | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
confident in my abilities. But if they are 20 years older than me | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
then that is 20 years more life experience. So it can be daunting | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
comparing what they have done but I still think I can hold my own. | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
It is all smiles now and before flying out from Chile, Briony sent | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
us this. If this is the moment you have all | :14:48. | :14:58. | |
:14:58. | :15:01. | ||
been waiting for. The latest piece of kit. I have some sewing to do | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
later on tonight to so on my sponsor's logo was. Obviously they | :15:06. | :15:14. | |
support me. This is what I will be living in, pretty much, whenever I | :15:14. | :15:24. | |
:15:24. | :15:30. | ||
Good luck to her. We will keep you updated on the progress. More to | :15:30. | :15:40. | |
come on tonight's programme. Young at art. The 86-year-old about to | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
become one of a Breton's oldest graduate. And most of us around for | :15:46. | :15:54. | |
frost tonight. Join me shortly for the forecast. | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
The broadcaster, Gloria Hunniford, has been visiting a Durham Hospice | :15:59. | :16:06. | |
today. She to have to the newly created garden at St Cuthbert's. | :16:06. | :16:14. | |
Her daughter, Caron Keating, died of cancer. It was an important | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
journey for Gloria Hunniford. She came to see for the first time a | :16:18. | :16:28. | |
:16:28. | :16:29. | ||
pebble with her daughter's name on It is my way of coping. I lost a | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
child. Losing any body is very painful but losing a child teacher | :16:33. | :16:39. | |

losing a child takes you to a place, a blackness. | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
This pebble as one of 60 each representing the life of a loved | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
one in this garden. It marks a donation from the Caron Keating | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
Foundation. Another grant from the Department of Health has enabled | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
five acres of gardens. Alex's wife died here and he helps look after | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
them. I would rather visit St Cuthbert's | :17:13. | :17:21. | |
than a cemetery, for example. Anybody can visit. My family were | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
happy I was coming somewhere like this. | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
The grant also meant a new green house where they can grow and cook | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
their own food. They have transformed the place. My | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
father was here in September last year. We have seen a transformation | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
with the gardens outside. And there is more to come, with | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
Gloria Hunniford donating a new garden which will be planted next | :17:51. | :17:57. | |

I have been accepted by the students, although I resisted | :18:45. | :18:53. | |
dyeing my hair green or blue! They have made no differentiation | :18:53. | :19:00. | |
between me and themselves. I can say the same of the tutors also. | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
Kenna left school at the age of 14 and believed he had no talent for | :19:04. | :19:11. | |
art but he has proved his point 72 years later. He began painting in | :19:11. | :19:18. | |
1993. He used a pad at originally bought for his honeymoon in the | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
1950s. A formal education as soon followed. He had served in the | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
array effort during the war and that proved useful during a study | :19:29. | :19:37. | |
trip to pride. -- served in the RAF. He helped can down a younger | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
students who was nervous about flying. That was very poetic given | :19:42. | :19:50. | |
his involvement in the Second World War. | :19:50. | :19:57. | |

The television presenter and fund raiser, Helen Skelton, has been | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
given an honorary fellowship by the University of Cumbria. She returned | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
for a special ceremony to celebrate her achievements. She has walked a | :20:24. | :20:28. | |

-- canoe. This place holds a special part in | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
my heart. To graduate here once was a big deal, a second time is a | :20:47. | :20:57. | |
:20:57. | :21:00. | ||
massive honour. That is impressive. | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
Time for the sport. The region's motor sport's -- the region's | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
motorsport fans are reeling from the news that North Yorkshire will | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
not host a round of their 2012 British Superbike championships. | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
The number of days Croft circuit can allow racing on the track is | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
limited by a court injunction and they felt in the current economic | :21:23. | :21:29. | |
climate hosting the superbikes was a commercial risk. | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
To not have it is a massive a blow for local supporters and not only | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
that, the teams, competitors, Marshalls, officials, probably | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
something like the tiny wheeled Derby not taking place. It is that | :21:46. | :21:56. | |
:21:56. | :22:08. | ||
equivalent in the motor sport Let's hope it is just for this year | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
and superbikes will be back here in 2013. | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
One of the top events in the Horseracing calendar was switched | :22:17. | :22:24. | |
last here because of the snow on Tyneside. One Year On and the | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
Fighting Fifth Hurdle should, fingers crossed, have no problems. | :22:27. | :22:33. | |
All eyes will be on one of the superstars of British Horseracing. | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
The 16 time it champion jockey, A P McCoy, winning last year at the | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
Grand National. All being well he will ride one of the favourites, | :22:45. | :22:53. | |
Binocular, at the famous Fighting Fifth Hurdle. | :22:53. | :23:02. | |
He he is a great ambassador. A legend. The way that Nicky | :23:02. | :23:09. | |
Henderson's horses have been running lately, they will be flying. | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
Tony Dobbin, who trains horses in Northumberland, was reunited with | :23:14. | :23:22. | |
the now retired 11-year-old, Arcalis. The early Cold snap last | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
year meant the race went south. With cold wind blowing through the | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
economy it is just as well that a repeat is unlikely this year. | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
We have to find ways of bringing people low on income to the | :23:38. | :23:45. | |
racecourse. Saturday is a huge day and financially a large pay-day for | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
us. The more support we get the more we can improve racing's fall | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
of the future. The Royal regiments -- the Royal | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
Regiment Fusiliers will provide the marching band. | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
The funeral of Middlesbrough football scout Alan Keen to place | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
this afternoon. The Cortes past the Riverside Ground as a mark of | :24:11. | :24:19. | |
respect. He later became an MP and died of cancer at the age of 73. | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
Last night we were unable to bring you the goal of the weekend. It was | :24:24. | :24:31. | |
scored by Paul Robinson of Whitley Bay. What about this effort? 35 | :24:31. | :24:41. | |
:24:41. | :24:42. | ||
yards. And the one that their game 4 - 1. They are attempting to win | :24:42. | :24:50. | |
the FA vies for the 4th time in a As we have heard through the | :24:50. | :24:56. | |
programme temperatures will be called tonight. So we have put our | :24:56. | :25:06. | |
:25:06. | :25:11. | ||
Yes, we have heard mentions of the winter weather. Bailey cloud in | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
this guy heading into this evening however. -- barely a cloud in the | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
sky. But temperatures will continue to drop overnight. Clear spells | :25:23. | :25:31. | |
with Frost for many of us. Temperatures will fall and there | :25:31. | :25:40. | |
will not be much wind around. Cold enough for widespread ground frost. | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
Later in the night the cloud will thicken the from the West. Back | :25:44. | :25:52. | |
thicker cloud will produce the odd spot of rain. It will slowly left | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
temperatures as well. It will be accompanied by a south-westerly | :25:55. | :26:05. | |
:26:05. | :26:07. | ||
breeze. Windscreen Frost for many in the morning. Tomorrow, a fairly | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
cloudy picture. Lots of cloud in the West. Drizzly rain over the | :26:13. | :26:19. | |
Cumbrian fells and the Pennines. Eastern areas have the best chance | :26:19. | :26:25. | |
of seeing breaks in the cloud and brighter intervals. A cold day and | :26:25. | :26:32. | |
temperatures will eventually reached beyond today. But it will | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
be tempered by the fact there is lots of cloud around with outbreaks | :26:35. | :26:42. | |
of rain and a gusty south-westerly wind. Let's take a look at the | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
pressure sequence. As that front moves away it will eventually be | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
followed by a North Western called Front and a band of rain. That will | :26:53. | :27:03. | |
:27:03. | :27:03. | ||
clear away on Friday. -- cold front. Friday, dry and brighter but cool | :27:03. | :27:13. | |
