:00:05. > :00:10.Welcome to Look North. In tonight's programme, no repeats - a hostel

:00:10. > :00:15.that housed a brutal rapist will reopen but not to male residents.

:00:15. > :00:18.The fight for survival on the high street. A special report on the

:00:18. > :00:21.changing face of shopping as retailers face their toughest new

:00:21. > :00:25.year. Labour's health team claimed the

:00:25. > :00:29.biggest shake-up in the NHS in decades will take vital money away

:00:29. > :00:33.from patient care. How could she say no? A marriage

:00:33. > :00:39.proposal with a difference in the middle of New York's Central Park.

:00:39. > :00:49.And in sport, the Falcons' head coach pays the price for his team

:00:49. > :00:53.

:00:53. > :00:58.It has emerged that the controversial hostel in Carlisle

:00:58. > :01:07.will not reopen it to male residents after one of the brutally

:01:07. > :01:12.raped a teenage girl. Mark Jackson who had been living in the Denton

:01:12. > :01:17.Holme was jailed for 12 years. Many people living nearby what the

:01:17. > :01:20.owners, Impact Housing, to close it that at a meeting last night they

:01:20. > :01:23.claim it could be used for single homeless women instead.

:01:23. > :01:27.Mark Jackson was a calculating criminal whose full history of

:01:27. > :01:34.violence was not disclosed to Impact Housing who gave him a run

:01:34. > :01:39.to the hostel. It revolted locals and demanded the hostel closed and

:01:39. > :01:49.met last night to see what Impact Housing would do. One person who

:01:49. > :01:54.met was Frank Beattie. People in the key minute to work really wary.

:01:54. > :01:59.Paul Atkinson was a local councillor. He shares concerns and

:01:59. > :02:04.wants more guarantees from Impact Housing. A breakdown of confidence

:02:04. > :02:11.and this was something that was acknowledged by a Impact Housing.

:02:11. > :02:17.We met last night. And if they are to continue with a change of use,

:02:17. > :02:23.then they have an enormous task to build up any confidence and trust.

:02:23. > :02:28.Many local people clearly feel vulnerable but some former

:02:28. > :02:32.residents turned up last night to see how this former hostel in St

:02:32. > :02:35.James' Road turned their lives around. The local community is now

:02:35. > :02:43.suspicious but we have got a wonderful resource. Eight self-

:02:44. > :02:52.contained flats built for the use of single people. We cannot waste

:02:52. > :02:55.that resource. We are looking to use it for single women. We should

:02:55. > :02:57.reassure the university to some degree.

:02:57. > :03:01.Properties on the North Northumberland coast were shaken

:03:01. > :03:06.this afternoon by what some residents feared was an earthquake.

:03:06. > :03:10.Vibrations were felled from Berwick to Alnwick. The British Geological

:03:10. > :03:14.Survey which monitors all seismic activity ruled it out saying a

:03:14. > :03:18.sonic boom was probably responsible. The Ministry of Defence has

:03:18. > :03:23.confirmed that an RAF Tornado was responsible, making pre-planned

:03:23. > :03:26.supersonic runs over the North Sea. The RAF has apologised for any

:03:26. > :03:30.inconvenience. The funeral took place today of the

:03:30. > :03:36.County Durham shotgun killer, Michael Atherton. The 42-year-old

:03:36. > :03:39.shot his partner, Susan McGoldrick along with her sister Alison

:03:39. > :03:44.Turnbull and Nice Tanya Turnbull on New Year's Day. He then turned the

:03:44. > :03:53.gun on himself. Five people have been arrested on

:03:53. > :04:00.suspicion of murder after a teenager was assaulted in North

:04:00. > :04:04.Tyneside. Rikki Todd was attacked outside the Halfway House in

:04:04. > :04:06.Camperdown. He suffered serious head injuries and died in Royal

:04:06. > :04:11.Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle three days later. Police today

:04:11. > :04:15.arrested five teenagers. Earlier this week, we heard the

:04:15. > :04:18.sound of optimism among retailers. Some shopping centres said they had

:04:18. > :04:22.had a good Christmas but on the high street, the picture is not as

:04:22. > :04:28.good. Look at these household names. Latest figures for Next, HMV, Game

:04:28. > :04:32.and even Tesco also sales down. For others like John Lewis and Greggs

:04:32. > :04:35.have done better but now we are into the harsh reality of January

:04:35. > :04:39.and some experts are predicting a much harder time, even suggesting

:04:39. > :04:49.the start of this year could turn out to be the toughest quarter that

:04:49. > :04:56.

:04:56. > :05:06.ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC PLAYS there's a new mood on the high street.

:05:06. > :05:06.

:05:06. > :05:10.Among shoppers, a new caution. A For the retailers, a deepening

:05:10. > :05:14.anxiety and fears over their survival. I think all the retailers

:05:14. > :05:19.will tell you it is quite a hard climate, challenging at the moment.

:05:19. > :05:25.They have all worked hard to pull in the punters and get them to buy

:05:25. > :05:29.things. Some major names have collapsed and the last 12 months

:05:29. > :05:33.but if things were bad last year, the first quarter of this year may

:05:33. > :05:39.prove to be one of the worst of many retailers have seen. I think

:05:39. > :05:44.it will be the toughest quarter they have had for quite some time.

:05:44. > :05:48.Retailers have been in boom up until the last two years for some

:05:48. > :05:55.time. Now they really are struggling. But as shops close up,

:05:55. > :05:59.well we have -- where will that leave our High Street? I don't

:05:59. > :06:05.think the high street will be gone but I think it will change. It has

:06:05. > :06:09.always been changing. But as city centres face tough times, for rural

:06:09. > :06:13.areas, the picture is even worse. There is a limit in terms of the

:06:13. > :06:18.number of people who will go to those locations. Something like 20%

:06:18. > :06:22.of households have seen a reduction of income and that will probably be

:06:22. > :06:27.more affecting people outside the city centres. Places like Ashington

:06:27. > :06:30.could so far more. Part of the problem seems to be that an

:06:30. > :06:35.increasing number of people are choosing to stay at home and do

:06:35. > :06:40.their shopping online. It is a lot cheaper than coming into town on

:06:40. > :06:45.bus fares and things like that. I shop online all the time. I tend to

:06:45. > :06:49.go online and compare prices before I go in and buy the product. I like

:06:49. > :06:53.the experience. Neil Matthews says only around 10%

:06:53. > :06:58.of shopping is done on the internet. So it is only a part of the problem.

:06:58. > :07:05.The forecast that delight have indicated, they say that there will

:07:05. > :07:11.probably be a reduction in physical presence in the shops. Internet

:07:11. > :07:15.shopping will increase by another 5%. Yes, a large about but not a

:07:16. > :07:20.significant about overall. So what can be done to save our High

:07:20. > :07:24.Streets? In Newcastle, they hope night-time shopping experiences

:07:24. > :07:29.will boost trade. Making it more convenient for shoppers so they can

:07:29. > :07:33.shop at their Leisure up until 8 o'clock Monday-Friday. Monument

:07:33. > :07:38.movies, we ran that before Christmas, trying to attract more

:07:38. > :07:43.shoppers in. And for individual retailers who may be in trouble,

:07:43. > :07:46.the advice is to get help quickly. The worst thing is to bury your

:07:46. > :07:52.head in the sand and pretend there is not a problem because it will

:07:52. > :07:58.not go away. You need to resolve issues as soon as possible.

:07:58. > :08:05.picture may look bleak. But the experts we spoke to spoke of the

:08:05. > :08:15.positive as well. Historically low mortgage rates for mortgage holders.

:08:15. > :08:18.

:08:18. > :08:22.-- low interest rates. As one door The Government has accused of

:08:22. > :08:25.wasting money in the health service. Labour say the biggest shake-up in

:08:25. > :08:30.the health service for decades will take vital money away from patient

:08:30. > :08:39.care. Ministers say change is vital but today, Labour's entire health

:08:39. > :08:41.team descended on Newcastle to This year, the North will seek

:08:42. > :08:46.tours from Bruce Springsteen, Coldplay and the Foo Fighters but

:08:46. > :08:51.this group have gone in first with their national tour and not a hit

:08:51. > :08:55.album or single between them. On tour in Newcastle, Labour's shadow

:08:55. > :09:00.health ministers as part of a national campaign against the

:09:00. > :09:06.Government health bill. You could take the end out of NHS because we

:09:06. > :09:09.will see a random decision -- take the National out of National Health

:09:09. > :09:13.Service. Patients may be paying for things that other patients are

:09:13. > :09:18.getting for free. GPs will be responsible for commissioning

:09:18. > :09:22.health care and take over the �80 billion budget to do it. Primary

:09:22. > :09:27.Care Trust and Strategic Health Authority is would be abolished and

:09:27. > :09:31.a new organisation would be set up to reduce health inequalities. But

:09:31. > :09:36.Labour says bureaucracy needed to make those changes will cost

:09:36. > :09:42.Primary Care Trusts in the region of an extra �224 million over two

:09:42. > :09:45.years. That is just criminal. To spend that money on back office

:09:46. > :09:51.reorganisation at a time when every single penny is needed to maintain

:09:51. > :09:56.standards of patient care. But the coalition supporters say the

:09:56. > :10:00.changes will cut red tape. If we reduce bureaucracy, then the money

:10:00. > :10:04.saved from that can be reinvested in health care. We are taking out

:10:04. > :10:11.the bureaucracy. We think we are slim lining that and improving the

:10:11. > :10:17.ability to deliver good quality health care for patients. Labour's

:10:17. > :10:24.to art moves on leaving the voters to decide on who they trust --

:10:24. > :10:28.The new Bishop of Durham has taken his seat in the House of Lords in a

:10:28. > :10:32.ceremony dating back hundreds of years. Right Reverend Justin Welby

:10:32. > :10:37.became a bishop last October and his position gives him an automatic

:10:37. > :10:46.right to sit and vote on the bishop's bench in the House of

:10:46. > :10:50.We wish him well. Still to come, the latest on the big changes at

:10:50. > :10:54.the top as Falcons fight for survival in the Premiership. And as

:10:54. > :10:59.preparations are made to commemorate its 150 up anniversary,

:10:59. > :11:04.a special report on the north's worst coal pit disaster.

:11:04. > :11:13.And high pressure is set to bring in some of fine days but also cold

:11:13. > :11:16.night. Join me for the full If your neighbourhood was on a bus

:11:16. > :11:20.route and is not any more, you are certainly not any more but a group

:11:20. > :11:24.of elderly North Tyneside residents are fighting plans to withdraw

:11:24. > :11:28.service from their estate. They say it will leave many of them

:11:28. > :11:34.completely isolated and the extra detail into the community was less

:11:34. > :11:42.than one-third of a mile. This is West Monkseaton, not really

:11:42. > :11:46.a place for placards and clamouring protest. But for residents here,

:11:46. > :11:53.they were spoiling for it. I will lead Brenda tell you. I am

:11:53. > :11:58.infuriated. Absolutely infuriated. While? The bus that has served this

:11:58. > :12:04.community for 15 years is about to be stopped. Its routes took it off

:12:04. > :12:08.the main A192 and through a route through many other people lived. It

:12:08. > :12:13.takes less than five minutes and the extra distance, just over 500

:12:13. > :12:19.yards. From Sunday, the bus will stay on the main road instead.

:12:19. > :12:29.cannot carry the groceries from the other side of the road which has a

:12:29. > :12:35.very busy road, up to our homes. I wonder went where they go to if

:12:36. > :12:39.they carry their groceries. We had a choice between a bus service

:12:39. > :12:47.along a side road and a bus service along a main road. Unfortunately,

:12:47. > :12:51.we cannot afford to do both. They should be in my position. I have a

:12:51. > :12:55.Walker and I have to use it. It is impossible, we need this bus.

:12:56. > :13:03.Campaigners say this is also about social isolation. In fact, this is

:13:03. > :13:06.one of the rich the local authority subsidises precisely because it is

:13:06. > :13:11.away from the main road. The company running it says it has a

:13:11. > :13:14.lot of sympathy with that point of view. We fear that as bust

:13:14. > :13:20.companies withdraw services and funding is cut, this will happen

:13:20. > :13:23.more cross the North East. What we want to do is look at the whole way

:13:23. > :13:26.bus services are planned and delivered so they run as a public

:13:26. > :13:30.service which is what people expect them to be.

:13:30. > :13:37.Expect to hear more later in the year. Too late for this service

:13:37. > :13:40.It was the worst pit disaster in the region's history. 204 men and

:13:40. > :13:45.boys died when the single shaft to New Hartley Pit near Blyth was

:13:45. > :13:49.blocked, trapping them below ground. In the coming days, the terrible

:13:49. > :13:51.events of January 16th, 1862 will be remembered in a series of events.

:13:51. > :13:54.And, as Chris Storey explains in tonight's Look North Report, the

:13:54. > :14:04.loss of life shocked Victorian Britain, and changed - forever -

:14:04. > :14:11.

:14:11. > :14:17.150 years after the tragedy, Earsdon churchyard is peaceful in

:14:17. > :14:20.the winter sun. Here lie most of the 204 souls lost in a disaster

:14:20. > :14:30.which wiped out most of working male population of the nearby

:14:30. > :14:32.

:14:32. > :14:40.village of New Hartley. For Major pumping been! In two, and went down

:14:40. > :14:43.the shaft, hitting the cages, the men were in the cages, 199 men and

:14:43. > :14:47.boys were trapped underground. rescuers were skilled men, but

:14:47. > :14:51.hopes faded as they were driven back by poisoned gas. Overman James

:14:51. > :15:01.Armour rallied his men in prayer, as the log found on his body

:15:01. > :15:03.

:15:03. > :15:11.records. They did what they could to survive. This was bound, and it

:15:11. > :15:15.appears to be that instead of using the food for the ponies, it may be

:15:15. > :15:20.that they were eating the grain to sustain themselves underground.

:15:20. > :15:23.Both shifts were trapped. No-one was saved. Families of men and boys

:15:23. > :15:27.lay down together to await their end. James Armour was found with

:15:27. > :15:30.his 14 year-old son clutched to his breast. Queen Victoria sent a

:15:30. > :15:40.telegraph expressing her grief. 60,000 people watched the funeral

:15:40. > :15:42.

:15:42. > :15:48.procession. We have got reports in the London Illustrated News of the

:15:48. > :15:51.first hearse arriving here, for the first burial, and the cortege is

:15:51. > :15:55.stretching all the way back to New -- New Hartley, and the last one

:15:55. > :16:00.had not left the village of New Hartley when the first one arrived

:16:00. > :16:09.at. The relief effort was unprecedented. Hartley's 103 widows

:16:09. > :16:16.and 257 fatherless children did not starve. The Queen gave �200, the

:16:16. > :16:21.Duke of Northumberland gave �300. By the April following, there was

:16:21. > :16:25.�75,000 accumulated, which would be many millions nowadays. The inquest

:16:25. > :16:33.recorded that the miners from inhalation of gas. But it was

:16:33. > :16:38.Hartley's single shaft that doomed its men. Action was demanded.

:16:38. > :16:43.did change the whole history of mining. An Act was introduced, the

:16:43. > :16:50.law said that from that point on, there had to be at least a two

:16:50. > :16:57.shafts, separated by 10 ft at strata, at every mind. The disaster

:16:57. > :17:02.will be remembered this weekend, with tributes, music and verse.

:17:02. > :17:12.widows of Hartley, the men and boys are dead. Take away your stumbling

:17:12. > :17:14.

:17:14. > :17:18.Such a powerful story. And the images in that report come from the

:17:18. > :17:21.Northumberland Archives at the Woodhorn Museum.

:17:21. > :17:25.Sport now, and in rugby union, the Newcastle Falcons' head coach, Alan

:17:25. > :17:28.Tait, has been sacked after 18 months in charge. The team is

:17:28. > :17:31.rooted to the foot of the Premiership table, nine points

:17:31. > :17:33.adrift of their nearest rivals. Last weekend's home defeat to

:17:33. > :17:42.Exeter pushed them ever closer to relegation. Keith Akehurst is

:17:42. > :17:49.outside the Kingston Park ground now. Well, we have been lucky we

:17:49. > :17:53.have been allowed in, and it was a bad defeat to Exeter, the 16-10

:17:53. > :17:58.home defeat flattered the Falcons, who didn't get out of their own

:17:58. > :18:01.half in the first 15 minutes. With nine games left to save this season,

:18:01. > :18:05.the owner has brought in a management team that has real

:18:05. > :18:10.pedigree. Gary gold is the former South Africa assistant coach, and

:18:11. > :18:13.he will be supported by Mark Ford, who until last month was the

:18:13. > :18:16.England defence courage. The Falcons were used to the

:18:16. > :18:19.champagne times. Cup winners, celebrity players - the talk of

:18:19. > :18:22.rugby union. But the last few seasons have been a world away.

:18:22. > :18:27.Under Alan Tait there was a final day reprieve from relegation last

:18:27. > :18:35.season. They're now so far adrift at the bottom, some fans feel it's

:18:35. > :18:38.an impossible task to escape the drop. The coach has paid the price.

:18:38. > :18:42.After the game, he was examining his own position as much as

:18:42. > :18:46.criticising the team, he said he would consider his own role, meet

:18:46. > :18:49.with the owners. It turns out that decision was ultimately taken out

:18:49. > :18:52.of his hands, but it is not surprising. The Falcons have turned

:18:52. > :18:55.to South African national team assistant coach Gary Gold. He

:18:55. > :18:58.helped London Irish to their only trophy success, the Powergen Cup

:18:58. > :19:05.ten years ago. He'll be assisted by England's defence coach for the

:19:05. > :19:10.past five seasons, Mike Ford. He lost that job after the recent

:19:10. > :19:14.World Cup disappointment Down Under. You want to send out a message to

:19:14. > :19:19.the supporters that we are not going down with a whimper, he is

:19:19. > :19:23.committed to us, and as always with us, there is never a dull moment.

:19:23. > :19:25.The Falcons don't have a league match for a month. So the new

:19:25. > :19:33.coaches have time to train the players, with cup competitions in

:19:33. > :19:40.the intervening weeks. With me now is Ian Smith, rugby union

:19:40. > :19:44.commentator. What is your reaction to this? I think it was inevitable.

:19:44. > :19:49.I interviewed him after the match against Exeter, he looked really

:19:49. > :19:53.down in the dumps. He is a good man, he wears his heart on his sleeve.

:19:53. > :19:59.It is difficult to motivate the team, it must be difficult for him

:19:59. > :20:03.to try and lift those players again. And this new coaching team, how

:20:03. > :20:08.good are they? They have worked at the top level. At the moment,

:20:08. > :20:11.everybody is buoyed by the fact we have something different. People

:20:11. > :20:15.are going to challenge something, it isn't another internal

:20:15. > :20:19.appointment, somebody brought in from outside with new ideas, and I

:20:19. > :20:23.think that is a positive message from the owner, that he actually

:20:23. > :20:29.wants to invest. The big question all the fans want to know is, can

:20:29. > :20:34.they stay up? Because they are nine points adrift. You get four points

:20:34. > :20:40.for a win, so it sounds like a lot, but there are nine games left.

:20:40. > :20:45.have got two home games, which we will be targeting, and two away

:20:45. > :20:51.games against the other two relegation candidates. The last

:20:51. > :20:56.game could be a decider. Falcons's next match is here at

:20:56. > :20:59.home, a European game. That is on Sunday.

:20:59. > :21:02.On to football, and this month's Wear-Tees FA Cup derby has been put

:21:02. > :21:04.back a day. The fourth round tie between Sunderland and

:21:05. > :21:09.Middlesbrough will now take place on Sunday, January the 29th,

:21:10. > :21:12.kicking off at 1.30 in the afternoon. The Black Cats' Premier

:21:12. > :21:15.League game against Norwich will now take place the following

:21:15. > :21:17.Wednesday. On the transfer front, Carlisle

:21:17. > :21:21.have completed a permanent deal for Sunderland midfielder, Liam Noble.

:21:21. > :21:27.The 21 year-old's been on loan at Brunton Park for most of the past

:21:27. > :21:30.year. It's a free transfer, but there is a sell-on clause.

:21:30. > :21:32.And Middlesbrough are hoping to sign Coventry City's top scorer,

:21:33. > :21:37.Lukas Jukevic, within the next 24 hours. This is Jukevic, scoring

:21:39. > :21:44.the Manchester City striker, Alex Nimely, who recently had a similar

:21:53. > :21:56.could be out of existence by the weekend. But, in an interview with

:21:59. > :22:02.Singh - the chairman who put the Quakers into administration - aimed

:22:02. > :22:07.a parting shot at the local council, for having suggested pop concerts

:22:07. > :22:11.could have been a way to save the club. I listened to the leader of

:22:11. > :22:15.the Council on the radio, and he said to people, they have planning

:22:15. > :22:22.permission for concerts, they can did well by year, and over four

:22:22. > :22:28.years that his 48 concept. No, that really said it all to me, because

:22:28. > :22:32.these are the people I have been trying to do a deal with. When are

:22:32. > :22:37.you going to play football? When is the pitch going to have time to

:22:37. > :22:40.recover? That is where we are. Now, when a young woman from West

:22:40. > :22:44.Cumbria was given the Christmas present of a trip to New York, she

:22:44. > :22:48.had no idea the break could lead to her becoming part of an interent

:22:48. > :22:51.sensation. Siobhan Byrne from Seaton was proposed to in a rather

:22:51. > :22:53.unconventional way in the middle of Central Park - with a bit of help

:22:53. > :22:57.from the locals. Alison Freeman reports.

:22:57. > :23:03.Siobhan Byrne thought she was just going for a walk with her boyfriend

:23:03. > :23:09.to take in the sights of New York. So when Central Park erupted into a

:23:09. > :23:14.performance, the 26 -year-old had no idea what was about to happen.

:23:14. > :23:20.was like, There is a flashbulb. I really like that kind of thing, I

:23:21. > :23:24.wanted to stop and watch. Halfway through, he jumped in. I said, you

:23:24. > :23:30.cannot, you have to know the dance moves. But he had all the moves

:23:30. > :23:35.down. Then towards the end, the crowd parted, and he walked down

:23:35. > :23:40.the middle, and that is when the penny dropped. I was like, oh, he

:23:40. > :23:43.is going to propose! Did you know what your answer was going to be?

:23:43. > :23:48.have always said that I would say no, so it wasn't an easy ride for

:23:48. > :23:54.him. So he had to actually work for it. But as soon as he asked me, I

:23:54. > :23:56.said yes. I had to, I love him, he did such a good job. Despite Peter

:23:56. > :24:03.O'Donnell's very public display of affection, which has been viewed

:24:03. > :24:07.online around the world online - he's too shy to give an interview.

:24:07. > :24:10.This made it even more special for me, him being able to do this, in

:24:10. > :24:12.front of so many people, and did get a reaction that he did really

:24:12. > :24:18.well. And still that wasn't the end.

:24:18. > :24:22.Peter, from Seaton, had designed the engagement ring himself. Do you

:24:22. > :24:31.think you have found the most romantic man in Cumbria? I am

:24:31. > :24:41.pretty sure I have, yes! What is the wedding reception going

:24:41. > :24:43.

:24:43. > :24:47.to be like?! Are we going to be Take a look at this earlier today

:24:47. > :24:51.in South Shields. It was bright and breezy, the grass is blowing in the

:24:51. > :24:59.breeze, and despite that sunshine, even at this time of year, the sun

:24:59. > :25:04.doesn't get that high above the horizon. It might look almost

:25:04. > :25:10.spring-like, the waves lapping on the shore, but it definitely felt

:25:10. > :25:14.like winter. That wind was coming down from the north. We had this

:25:14. > :25:21.cold front sinking down from the north, taking with it a lot of rain,

:25:21. > :25:24.and all the thicker cloud. High pressure building in behind it, but

:25:24. > :25:29.all the thicker cloud was seeking a way to the south, leaving it

:25:29. > :25:38.clearer skies. That is the scene this evening, into the night,

:25:39. > :25:46.essentially dry and clear. Temperatures will drop overnight, a

:25:46. > :25:52.fairly widespread frost. The other thing to watch out for, a few

:25:52. > :25:57.missed and that fog patches, especially in the West. Maybe one

:25:57. > :26:03.or two further east, perhaps along the Tyne valley. But they will be

:26:03. > :26:07.the exception rather than the will, worth bearing in mind. -- rather

:26:07. > :26:14.than the rule. Those mist and fog patches may persist it through the

:26:14. > :26:20.morning, but they are the exception, most places are fine, dry and sunny.

:26:21. > :26:24.The temperatures will struggle after that frosty start. The two

:26:25. > :26:31.saving graces are that there will be plenty of sunshine for most

:26:31. > :26:37.places, and the winds will be very light, as well. The high pressure

:26:37. > :26:41.sets over the top of us over the weekend, we will be well into the

:26:41. > :26:49.next working week before it eventually slides away and let so

:27:01. > :27:06.Nistor bald patch. For Cumbria as well, it is essentially the same,

:27:06. > :27:14.temperatures dipping sub-zero most nights. Thanks to that lovely
