:01:07. > :01:11.have paid their last respects to Chloe Fowler - one of two teenagers
:01:11. > :01:15.who died in a drowning tragedy in the River Wear last week. Chloe's

:01:19. > :01:25.Sunderland Crematorium today. The 14-year-old leaves a mother, father
:01:25. > :01:29.and seven brothers and sisters. Andrew Hartley has this report.
:01:29. > :01:33.They came in their hundreds to mourn a teenage girl who had only just set
:01:33. > :01:37.out on life. Friends from school and members of the community of Shiney
:01:37. > :01:41.Row where she lived. There to express their grief and to share
:01:41. > :01:43.their memories. They were lead into the service at Sunderland
:01:43. > :01:48.Crematorium by Chloe's mother, father and seven brothers and
:01:48. > :01:52.sisters. Chloe, who was 14, died after getting into difficulty in the
:01:52. > :01:57.River Wear at Fatfield in Washington last week. The mourners heard Chloe
:01:57. > :02:06.described as popular and bubbly kind warm and generous. A mother figure,
:02:06. > :02:15.who "would do anything" for her family. She would curl up on her
:02:15. > :02:17.dads knee, even though she was too big to do it. This was a non
:02:17. > :02:21.religious service - led by an independent funeral celebrant He
:02:21. > :02:29.told the congregation that grieving for the loss of a child is hardest
:02:29. > :02:33.to bear. Inevitably you will find the world a poorer place without
:02:33. > :02:37.Chloe but it will always be a rich place because she was once in it.
:02:37. > :02:40.Many of the mourners there today had yesterday taken part in a walk which
:02:40. > :02:44.raised around ?1300 to help pay for the funeral. The funeral of Tonibeth

:03:03. > :03:05.revenue for our councils. A survey by the RAC says car parks are a
:03:05. > :03:08.money spinner for many local authorities. Newcastle City Council
:03:08. > :03:12.alone made nearly �7 million in 2011/12 according to the nationwide
:03:12. > :03:16.survey. And that puts it near the top of a league table of councils
:03:16. > :03:26.across the country. Adrian Pitches is live for us now at one of those
:03:26. > :03:33.
:03:33. > :03:39.Yes, the RAC Foundation did the survey of the councils in England
:03:39. > :03:44.and they generated revenue surplus of �565 million. Clearly the money
:03:44. > :03:49.is ploughed back into council services but with councils like
:03:49. > :03:52.Westminster generating �40 million as Newcastle �7 million, straight in
:03:52. > :03:55.at number 12, it is not the headlines that hard-pressed
:03:55. > :04:03.motorists wants to hear. Parking on the street - or parking
:04:03. > :04:09.off-street - can be an expensive undertaking. They are very high. I
:04:09. > :04:17.have been here for two hours unpaid over a fiver. I didn't know how long
:04:17. > :04:22.I will be here so I put extra in. They've got an extra hour out of us.
:04:22. > :04:24.I would say we are dearer in Cumbria. We live in Penrith. We are
:04:25. > :04:27.constantly getting tickets. Newcastle tops the Northern League
:04:27. > :04:32.of revenue earners, netting nearly seven million pounds in 2011/12.
:04:32. > :04:41.York made four and three quarter million pounds. But Cumbria lost
:04:41. > :04:45.�200,000. And Sunderland lost almost twice that amount. Besides the huge
:04:45. > :04:53.discrepancies in what they earn, there is a discrepancy in what they
:04:53. > :05:00.charge. At this multistorey it costs �1 84 and our but if I use the car
:05:00. > :05:07.park in Newcastle across the town it costs �5 and 90 42 hours. So, in
:05:07. > :05:11.relatively the council cannot be accused of highway robbery. Over
:05:11. > :05:18.10,000 parking spaces are operated so it will generate more income and
:05:18. > :05:25.allows us to invest that into the city and allows us to deal with
:05:25. > :05:31.areas and we use the money is to repair roads. In Sunderland, we try
:05:31. > :05:35.to administrate a fair and measured response to the parking needs custom
:05:35. > :05:41.since 2009 we have not increased parking charges, has been a downturn
:05:41. > :05:46.and we felt we can help the economic regeneration of the city by keeping
:05:46. > :05:49.the parking charges down to help the local economy. But in an economic
:05:49. > :05:59.downturn council funding is cut so parking is one way to regenerate
:05:59. > :05:59.
:05:59. > :06:05.some lost revenue. Well, the Sunderland City Council say parking
:06:05. > :06:10.tickets are not an income generation activity and if you want to park at
:06:10. > :06:17.the Civic Centre it is 80p an hour, �1 80 in Newcastle. If you park in
:06:17. > :06:22.Middlesbrough, the first two hours free and then it is �1 an hour. In
:06:22. > :06:26.Carlisle, it is �1 an hour there. So, take your choice or maybe use
:06:26. > :06:30.public transport and let's not get started about hospital parking
:06:30. > :06:33.charges. And if you'd like to have your say
:06:34. > :06:43.on parking charges, log onto the Look North facebook page, and leave

:07:10. > :07:13.was there to honour hundreds of former soldiers. But for the King's
:07:13. > :07:19.Own Scottish Borderers' Association, the day was also tinged with
:07:19. > :07:23.sadness, as Gerry Jackson reports. By the right, and still ramrod
:07:23. > :07:27.straight. Every year, the Kings Own Scottish Borderers observe a
:07:27. > :07:33.precious tradition - their forebears picked red roses for their caps as
:07:33. > :07:37.they marched to the battle of Minden in Germany more than 250 years ago.
:07:38. > :07:40.They've worn the rose ever since. Today, Princess Anne, the new patron
:07:40. > :07:50.of the regimental veteran's Association, was here to hand them
:07:50. > :07:51.
:07:51. > :07:54.out for the first time. You see many who are elderly and inform and they
:07:54. > :07:56.are marching, soldiers back in step and arms swinging and you would
:07:57. > :07:59.think they were 50 years younger. But with the camaraderie, the
:08:00. > :08:03.closing of an age. The Borderers were amalgamated into the Royal
:08:03. > :08:11.Regiment of Scotland in 2006. Today, their flags, the colours, go into
:08:11. > :08:15.the Berwick museum. It is a celebration, it is the party but I
:08:15. > :08:18.will not be the only person with a lump in my throat or tear in the
:08:18. > :08:27.eye. From the old barrack square, the colours paraded for the last
:08:27. > :08:37.time for a royal admirer and many others. I was in tears. I don't know
:08:37. > :08:40.
:08:40. > :08:42.why! Once a borderer always a boardroom. This week, the government
:08:42. > :08:45.announced where it'll spend a further �37 million on electric
:08:46. > :08:49.vehicle charging points in the UK. The North-East is among the regions
:08:49. > :08:52.to benefit. But tonight we can exclusively reveal that in the last
:08:52. > :08:55.year, many of our existing charge points haven't been used at all. So
:08:55. > :09:05.are we throwing good money after bad? Damian O'Neil investigates for
:09:05. > :09:10.In the North-East, we have a network of over 730 electric vehicle
:09:10. > :09:13.charging points - the largest in Europe. But figures obtained by
:09:14. > :09:19.Radio 4's You and Yours programme show many charge points are simply
:09:19. > :09:27.not being used. A recent study in the West Midlands suggests owners
:09:27. > :09:32.have little use for the public network. When people have electric
:09:32. > :09:34.charges -- cars they charge them at home and they are not using these
:09:34. > :09:37.wider infrastructure so some of these will not ever be used. Among
:09:37. > :09:41.the eight local authorities that responded, almost �680,000 of public
:09:41. > :09:44.money has been spent on charging points. Two of the biggest councils
:09:44. > :09:53.- Durham and Gateshead - have six charging points that have not been
:09:53. > :10:01.used at all in the last year. of them are well used, others are
:10:01. > :10:05.there to promote regeneration. Even those with no deuce? No, these cost
:10:05. > :10:09.relatively little to install and when they are there you can operate
:10:09. > :10:17.them with technology so I do not accept it as a waste of public
:10:17. > :10:27.money. I plugged one into this .18 months ago and I wonder how many
:10:27. > :10:29.
:10:29. > :10:33.people have used it since. I wonder charging point to see if anyone
:10:33. > :10:43.would come along and plug their car in, then we went further afield,
:10:43. > :11:08.
:11:09. > :11:15.looking at a random selection of website provides a live map of the
:11:15. > :11:21.points in use at any given time. It is 11:15am, let's see how many are
:11:21. > :11:26.in use in the north-east. The green icons show the points which are in
:11:26. > :11:30.use and there appeared to be one two, three, four. In total there
:11:30. > :11:33.appeared to be four in use out of hundreds across the North East. But
:11:33. > :11:37.proponents say we are still in the early stages of a new technology,
:11:37. > :11:45.and that as more vehicles appear on the roads, the investment in the
:11:45. > :11:48.North-East's charging network will be vindicated. It showed the world
:11:48. > :11:54.we are serious about electric vehicles and it shows the world and
:11:54. > :11:58.Nissan is a place worth investing in and we get people from around the
:11:58. > :12:03.world coming and learning from us because we have a large number of
:12:03. > :12:07.electric vehicles in the region and the charging network. Mass
:12:07. > :12:11.installation has ended and I think people will be charging at home or
:12:11. > :12:15.using the quick chargers. This that leaves the slow chargers
:12:15. > :12:21.redundant? No, they were still be used.
:12:21. > :12:25.By Hugh? There was a Park club in Newcastle and there are three cars
:12:25. > :12:28.on charge. They are using them. But three is a
:12:28. > :12:30.drop in the ocean against the number of points that have been installed.
:12:30. > :12:33.The battery plant and leaf production in Sunderland are

:14:05. > :14:10.normally get Estee Lauder make-up and go to the high street. Together
:14:10. > :14:15.they form a community and dream of a better life. Among them
:14:15. > :14:23.doughnut-loving Jon who appears to have his ideal job. Working here is
:14:23. > :14:28.in heaven. My waistline has expanded ASH expanded. It is like being a kid
:14:28. > :14:38.in a candy store. But there is a bitter aftertaste. He's on a zero
:14:38. > :14:46.hours contract. So good. With the lack of hours it means there are
:14:46. > :14:54.money worries at home. Ready or not, here I come. A girls night out might
:14:54. > :15:00.take his mind off it. Do you like it? Wow! Filmed day and night for
:15:00. > :15:06.three months, today it was time to reflect. You forgot the cameras were
:15:06. > :15:11.there. You do say stupid things. I do not think before I speak.
:15:11. > :15:15.worst of it is in the trailers, me stuffing my face with doughnuts.
:15:15. > :15:23.did this because I want to progress in my job. This could be a stepping
:15:23. > :15:30.stone. That is what I am hoping for. I hope this launches mike cupcake

:15:42. > :15:46.yet, but hopefully after tomorrow, Yes, it will be colourful. And you

:15:50. > :15:53.for colour, entertainment and the wow factor. The annual Stockton
:15:53. > :15:57.International Riverside Festival starts this evening. The event,
:15:57. > :16:00.which runs until Sunday, is now in its 26th year and has grown into a
:16:00. > :16:02.major festival in the cultural calendar. It also provides an
:16:02. > :16:12.economic windfall for Stockton. Our Business Correspondent Ian Reeve
:16:12. > :16:15.
:16:15. > :16:19.The opening act from this year's Stockton Riverside Festival. It's
:16:19. > :16:24.the German open air troupe Theatre Titanick. The work is, we're
:16:24. > :16:31.promised, a fire-filled spectacular called Furnace Symphony. And it's
:16:31. > :16:36.supposed to evoke the area's links to the steel industry. We knew
:16:36. > :16:42.Stockton is linked with the story and we like to perform in these
:16:42. > :16:48.areas where steel has gone in the past and it is different from
:16:48. > :16:52.watching a piece of art like this where steel was important. Alongside
:16:52. > :16:55.this particular performance will be 100 others during the festival. 188
:16:55. > :16:59.performers will be here, and, possibly the most important stat of
:16:59. > :17:09.all in a town that is economically challenged, over a million pounds is
:17:09. > :17:09.
:17:09. > :17:13.expected to be spent by visitors. Stockton Council invests because we
:17:13. > :17:18.know it brings people into the town and it alters perceptions about the
:17:18. > :17:20.town in ways which might influence inward investment decisions and
:17:20. > :17:24.decisions people make about where to stay and spend their lives. So a
:17:25. > :17:28.double win in the widest high street in the country. A bit of culture and
:17:28. > :17:31.a welcome boost for the local economy. About 25 pounds was spent
:17:31. > :17:35.by each visitor last year over just the Saturday and Sunday, double the
:17:35. > :17:37.amount that they spent the year before. That's mainly thanks to food
:17:37. > :17:45.businesses and other entrepreneurs starting to use the festival to
:17:45. > :17:47.promote themselves and make sales. But this is the core stuff.
:17:47. > :17:57.Providing performances that can be challenging, sometimes baffling, but
:17:57. > :18:04.
:18:04. > :18:08.surely, over the last 26 years, have seen the last of summer, you'll
:18:08. > :18:11.have been pleased to see the return of the sun today. It's been the
:18:11. > :18:14.hottest day of the school summer holidays so far. So Heather Clancy
:18:14. > :18:20.ventured out onto the beach and discovered that lots of other people
:18:20. > :18:26.had had the same idea. 10:30am and looks like a good day at
:18:26. > :18:32.the beach is in sight. Come rain or shine, Catherine and her husband are
:18:32. > :18:37.here from everyday from 6:30am getting their ice cream van ready.
:18:37. > :18:43.We have lived here all our lives, we loved the seaside. I have three sons
:18:43. > :18:47.and they are surfers and love it. It is a real family affair. An hour
:18:47. > :18:52.later and there are some clouds but the sun is out and so are the bucket
:18:52. > :18:56.and that chess. After the heatwave it looked like we might have seen
:18:56. > :19:04.the last of summer but with temperatures set to hit 27 in the
:19:04. > :19:09.north-east, a perfect day for the beach. I like making sand castles.
:19:09. > :19:17.We have come here for three years for our holidays and this beach is
:19:17. > :19:21.wonderful. I had forgotten how nice it is. We have had a game of
:19:21. > :19:29.football, some sunbathing and the lovely weather. A few of us had a
:19:29. > :19:35.dip in the sea. Lots of people are enjoying the beach. On the sunny
:19:35. > :19:40.days a long spell of a lot of litter being generated. We have a
:19:40. > :19:46.responsibility to keep beach safe so people can dig in the sand without
:19:46. > :19:51.digging amongst rubbish. With the forecast looking sunny, it looks
:19:51. > :19:55.like there may be more busy days at the beach. These people today are
:19:55. > :20:03.taking no chances with the unpredictable summer. They are
:20:03. > :20:10.soaking up the sun before it's time to go home.
:20:10. > :20:14.How could they forget how lovely it is. I cannot wait to go down there.
:20:14. > :20:19.You have football to look forward to. You are booked up! Hartlepool
:20:19. > :20:23.United begin life in League Two away at Rochdale this weekend. For new
:20:23. > :20:26.manager Colin Cooper it's a chance to prove himself in his first full
:20:26. > :20:30.managerial role. And while promotion back to League One will always be
:20:31. > :20:33.the aim, the first job will be to put the fun back into football for a
:20:33. > :20:37.squad that failed to fulfil it's potential last season.
:20:37. > :20:41.It looks like job done on the fun front - plenty of smiles as they
:20:41. > :20:44.prepared for Saturday's opener. The management team of former Boro
:20:44. > :20:47.favourites Colin Cooper and Craig Hignett have already started to turn
:20:47. > :20:53.things around after a season which saw Pools drop into the football
:20:53. > :20:58.leagues lowest division. We have to try to get rid of negativity around
:20:58. > :21:03.the club which is hard after relegation. And then you have to put
:21:03. > :21:07.your own structures thoughts and processes and feelings into how you
:21:07. > :21:13.want them to go about the next stage of their careers and if you get used
:21:13. > :21:17.to losing it is a habit to break. We have to reverse it and get into the
:21:17. > :21:21.winning habit. It has been excellent. He has brought freshness
:21:21. > :21:29.to the club, good training sessions as well. We are looking forward to
:21:29. > :21:34.the season and Craig has brought unique things to the place as well.
:21:34. > :21:39.A good match and hopefully we will be successful. It has been a
:21:39. > :21:44.struggle and quite tough but they are wanted to come in and totally
:21:44. > :21:48.put everything to bed. This is a new start, a new management side and the
:21:48. > :21:52.past is the past. This will be the start of the change. After 12 years
:21:52. > :21:56.at the club Antony Sweeney is the new captain but with money tight
:21:56. > :21:59.Cooper and Co have been able to add only a handful of players to the
:21:59. > :22:02.squad. They might have scaled Kilmanjaro this summer - winning
:22:02. > :22:08.promotion may be a tougher mountain to climb restoring belief is key.
:22:08. > :22:12.We have two give them the confidence where they feel as if they cannot be
:22:12. > :22:15.beaten. I cannot stand here and say we will get promoted but we will
:22:15. > :22:20.give it everything we have got and hopefully give the fans something to
:22:20. > :22:24.enjoy watching. Coming into it as a new manager I am more excited than

:22:37. > :22:41.this afternoon that he hopes to make one, perhaps even two signings in
:22:41. > :22:45.the next 24 hours. Rugby league play-off hopefuls Workington Town

:22:48. > :22:56.having a man sent off, Town lost 36-0 to Sheffield, who replaced
:22:56. > :22:59.Sunday's opponents Featherstone at the top of the Championship. We ran
:22:59. > :23:05.out of numbers. The players had to do more work than what we
:23:05. > :23:10.anticipated. That was through the sending off. The effort was there,

:23:23. > :23:26.matches tomorrow night at Franklin's Gardens - against hosts Northampton,
:23:26. > :23:29.Leicester and Sale. The Falcons, who'll rest some of their 15-a-side

:23:32. > :23:39.7's rugby having included all-action paintballing in their fitness

:23:48. > :23:56.ultimately it is a different group of players for the most part. And

:24:57. > :25:02.very warm, humid at night. Let's look at the picture. A few showers
:25:02. > :25:06.in the north, clear skies elsewhere, beautifully clear in North Yorkshire
:25:06. > :25:12.but the astounding thing overnight will be quite how warm it stays. A
:25:12. > :25:18.spell of rain to the West, look at the low temperatures. 20 Celsius,
:25:18. > :25:24.the very lowest but temperatures will fall in the dead of night to
:25:24. > :25:28.night. That is the average daytime temperature for this time. A warm
:25:28. > :25:34.night, sticky, humid and first thing the raid were clear West, more
:25:34. > :25:40.sunshine for the East but a short spell of rain. Late morning, this

:26:13. > :26:18.winds. So, another warm day to come. Over the next couple of days, things
:26:18. > :26:22.become fresher, a fine forecast for most places for the weekend but the
:26:22. > :26:25.temperatures across Cumbria are falling to the high teens or low 20s
:26:25. > :26:35.through Saturday and Sunday, the risk of some showers. Temperatures
:26:35. > :26:38.nearing the average. The coast is looking good, lots of sunshine and
:26:38. > :26:42.temperatures at 21 Celsius. Feeling pleasant on the beaches and further
:26:42. > :26:48.inland it looks good as well. A little bit fresher and more
:26:48. > :26:52.comfortable overnight than tonight but still looking very good as the
