:00:08. > :00:12.Tonight. Anger as a cash`strapped council

:00:13. > :00:17.spends almost ?1 million on a crane that's lying idle in this shipyard.

:00:18. > :00:20.Cuts in the number of street wardens and police officers lead to fears of

:00:21. > :00:24.a rise in anti`social behaviour. Are traders in one of the North's

:00:25. > :00:26.most affluent towns facing a crisis of confidence?

:00:27. > :00:29.And celebrating the lives of the unsung heroines of the North's

:00:30. > :00:33.fishing industry. In sport, a high profile departure

:00:34. > :00:36.at one of our Premier League clubs during the transfer window, but it's

:00:37. > :00:39.not a player who's leaving. And we catch up with the veteran

:00:40. > :00:41.goalkeeper trying to guide his third North East club a little closer to

:00:42. > :01:00.promotion. They're a familiar sight on our

:01:01. > :01:03.skyline. But it's emerged that a crane, valued at almost ?1 million,

:01:04. > :01:07.has been bought by a cash`strapped council and has lain idle for almost

:01:08. > :01:11.a year. The crane, which was bought by North Tyneside Council, would

:01:12. > :01:14.normally stand 200 feet high, but is currently lying in pieces on the

:01:15. > :01:17.floor of a former shipyard. Yesterday, the council revealed

:01:18. > :01:18.plans to make savings of ?64 million over the next four years. Andrew

:01:19. > :01:40.Hartley reports. A skyline once famous for its

:01:41. > :01:54.cranes. Monday, it is hoped this will be a live again. This crane is

:01:55. > :01:58.said to be more than 200 feet tall. You should be able to see it for

:01:59. > :02:02.miles around. But it's nowhere to be seen. That's because it is lying on

:02:03. > :02:05.the ground in pieces. And that means North Tyneside Council will have to

:02:06. > :02:14.spend tens of thousands of pounds more on putting it up and making it

:02:15. > :02:18.operational. The crane was originally bought

:02:19. > :02:20.early last year by a firm given a licence to operate here. But the

:02:21. > :02:23.decision by the previous Conservative administration to award

:02:24. > :02:27.the crane licence was subject to a legal challenge and then revoked. So

:02:28. > :02:31.the firm was left with an expensive crane it couldn't use. Today it has

:02:32. > :02:34.emerged that the council, now run by Labour, has itself bought the crane

:02:35. > :02:40.for ?900,000 to compensate the firm and says it will do the work itself.

:02:41. > :02:46.We were not ready to have a crane in advance of the remedial works. The

:02:47. > :02:56.plinth has tunnels underneath, and all of that needs work. I do not

:02:57. > :02:59.know why people struck a deal to get a crane before these works had even

:03:00. > :03:04.started. But former Mayor Linda Arkley absolutely denies

:03:05. > :03:07.this and describes the process of awarding the licence last year as

:03:08. > :03:10.fair and above board. She also questioned the decision by current

:03:11. > :03:12.Labour administration to buy the crane.

:03:13. > :03:15.Using public money to buy a crane is just beyond belief. And then not to

:03:16. > :03:24.have anybody to use it, to operate it. It just does not seem right to

:03:25. > :03:29.me at all. I am sure the residents of North Tyneside should be asking

:03:30. > :03:34.questions. What I be going to do with a crane? If it attracts work,

:03:35. > :03:42.fine, if it does not, it is a waste of time. They should tidy the high

:03:43. > :03:46.Street first. The council says that the crane will one day begin to earn

:03:47. > :03:51.back its investment, but for the time being, this is one tall story

:03:52. > :03:54.that is not over, not by a long way. Andrew's with me now. Andrew, this

:03:55. > :03:59.is not so much the decision to spend the money on a crane, but the timing

:04:00. > :04:02.of it? Yes. North Tyneside Council, in

:04:03. > :04:07.common with all our local authorities, is facing huge and

:04:08. > :04:12.ongoing budget cuts. Yesterday, it announced a further ?64 million in

:04:13. > :04:19.cuts, and that is bound to affect front line services. So the decision

:04:20. > :04:24.to spend almost a million on a crane it will not be able to use for many

:04:25. > :04:27.months, if not years, looks odd to say the least. Even if the council

:04:28. > :04:30.says it had no choice in the matter. And that's why tonight there is so

:04:31. > :04:37.much political mud`slinging. Neither side wants to admit they

:04:38. > :04:39.fault. Many of the region's police forces

:04:40. > :04:43.have been reducing officer numbers in response to cuts to their

:04:44. > :04:47.funding. In the Cleveland force, the total is due to fall by more than 20

:04:48. > :04:50.per cent over a six`year period. The Government says reforms, aimed at

:04:51. > :04:52.making policing more efficient, can maintain public safety. But in

:04:53. > :04:56.Middlesbrough, there has also been concern about cuts to the council's

:04:57. > :04:59.street warden service and fears of a rise in anti`social behaviour. Our

:05:00. > :05:04.reporter Luke Walton has been to North Ormesby to investigate.

:05:05. > :05:10.For Ashley Barratt, his pet shop is both a passion and a livelihood. But

:05:11. > :05:19.his work has been made harder by a series of bin fires outside the

:05:20. > :05:24.business. The floor, the walls, the push the bin right up against the

:05:25. > :05:34.wall. What could be the implications? We have a flat above

:05:35. > :05:37.us. Potentially lethal. Others here have similar stories. And some see

:05:38. > :05:44.cuts to police numbers and council street wardens as part of the story.

:05:45. > :05:52.People are giving on the street, it is really getting bad. How easy is

:05:53. > :06:06.it for you to get help? It is harder. Middlesbrough Council says

:06:07. > :06:10.it has been forced to reduce its team of wardens from 78 to 15 by a

:06:11. > :06:13.sharp drop in Government funding and says help is being focused on

:06:14. > :06:16.greatest need. Cleveland Police has also cut numbers to find savings,

:06:17. > :06:18.but insists the front line remains protected. Our communities may seem

:06:19. > :06:21.less of us, and fewer yellow courts and support officers over the next

:06:22. > :06:24.two years, but our commitment is that we would do everything we can

:06:25. > :06:31.to maintain the safety of our communities.

:06:32. > :06:35.Recent figures show a fall in crime across the North East. But those for

:06:36. > :06:38.Cleveland also point to a small rise in anti`social behaviour. Some here

:06:39. > :06:41.still need to be convinced that things are getting better, not

:06:42. > :06:44.worse. And Sunday Politics will be talking

:06:45. > :06:47.to Cleveland's Police and Crime Commissioner about those problems.

:06:48. > :06:57.That's this Sunday morning at 11 o'clock here on BBC One.

:06:58. > :07:00.The company which runs the Sellafield plant in West Cumbria has

:07:01. > :07:03.lost its appeal against a fine of ?700,000 for illegally dumping

:07:04. > :07:06.nuclear waste. Sellafield Limited last year admitted four charges of

:07:07. > :07:09.sending low`level waste to a landfill site in 2010 but claimed

:07:10. > :07:15.the fine was too high. Judges at the Court of Appeal in London rejected

:07:16. > :07:19.their appeal. It's more than 50 years since most

:07:20. > :07:22.of their rural neighbours were connected to the grid, but 21

:07:23. > :07:24.households in one valley in the Northumberland countryside are still

:07:25. > :07:27.waiting for mains electricity. And now people in Upper Coquetdale,

:07:28. > :07:32.north of Rothbury, have launched a campaign to see themselves

:07:33. > :07:35.connected. Northern Powergrid says new customers usually fund their own

:07:36. > :07:36.connection, but it wants to help find a solution. Hannah Bayman

:07:37. > :07:43.reports. Topping up the generator with oil.

:07:44. > :07:47.Farmer Shona Anderson says she spends up to ?10,000 a year on fuel,

:07:48. > :07:56.a bill that is rising but would be cut if the farm was hooked up to a

:07:57. > :07:58.mains electricity supply. One day, you can wake up and Northern

:07:59. > :08:06.Electric because there is something wrong with the generator. That can

:08:07. > :08:10.be quite costly. The man that comes to service it, he lives in Aberdeen,

:08:11. > :08:16.so you do not always get somebody straightaway. Residents say young

:08:17. > :08:20.families are put off the area because of a lack of electricity,

:08:21. > :08:26.which means farmers can't branch out into tourism like in other areas. We

:08:27. > :08:36.have got a farming business and we would like to diversify into things

:08:37. > :08:45.like camping, but we would need supply of electricity. There is talk

:08:46. > :08:48.of superfast broadband coming up into Google areas. We just feel that

:08:49. > :08:54.we would rather have means electricity first. Most people

:08:55. > :08:57.living here are tenants of the Ministry of Defence, which uses the

:08:58. > :09:01.nearby Otterburn Ranges for training. One estimate puts the cost

:09:02. > :09:05.of connection to the grid at ?40,000 a household. In a statement, the MoD

:09:06. > :09:08.said it was not in a position to fund the cost of connection work. In

:09:09. > :09:15.the rest of the Northumberland National Park, about 80 homes and

:09:16. > :09:19.farms are also without mains power. Residents he will present a petition

:09:20. > :09:21.later this month to the council. Although most people here don't own

:09:22. > :09:25.their homes, many are prepared to pay towards the cost of connecting

:09:26. > :09:35.to the mains. But they would like support from the authorities.

:09:36. > :09:43.It is regarded as a well`heeled spa town, famous for its Turkish baths,

:09:44. > :09:46.spa waters and genteel tea rooms. But is Harrogate in North Yorkshire

:09:47. > :09:50.now facing a crisis of confidence? Look North has been told that, for

:09:51. > :09:53.the first time, eight per cent of the town's shops are unoccupied and

:09:54. > :09:56.that businesses are worried they cannot compete with online sales and

:09:57. > :10:00.other retail centres in Yorkshire. Phil Chapman is live for us in

:10:01. > :10:04.Harrogate now. Phil. Good evening. I give up and down

:10:05. > :10:12.this street in Harrogate quite a lot. Nine times out of ten, you will

:10:13. > :10:19.see a queue forming outside Betty's tearoom. Prove that people are

:10:20. > :10:28.coming to Harrowgate, but I the only spending money on tea and cakes?

:10:29. > :10:30.With proud statements about new developments, it does not look like

:10:31. > :10:43.Harrowgate is having a confidence crisis. But why has been special New

:10:44. > :10:46.Year meeting? For the first time, we have had 8% of our shops

:10:47. > :10:53.unoccupied, absolutely unknown in Harrogate. We know that people

:10:54. > :10:56.online, and are spending less time in the town centre. We need to

:10:57. > :11:04.encourage people to come into our town centre. There are two unique

:11:05. > :11:15.businesses here that Harrowgate is trying to attract more of. We have

:11:16. > :11:24.seen the town centre for many years and I have been radical changes. The

:11:25. > :11:28.success of a town centre like ours is engagement. We are Allstate

:11:29. > :11:35.coders. Whether you are visiting, shopping, working, playing a living

:11:36. > :11:46.in the area, the health of the town centre is quite drastic. We think

:11:47. > :12:00.Harrowgate needs more independent businesses. That is what the public

:12:01. > :12:01.wants these days. With shiny new shopping centres cropping up not

:12:02. > :12:09.far`away, Harrowgate could be fighting for its retail life. Town

:12:10. > :12:14.centres such as this are changing. We have made a conscious decision

:12:15. > :12:18.that we have got to get ahead of it. If we do not have a vibrant town

:12:19. > :12:22.centre, the consequences could be severe. The whole world will be

:12:23. > :12:41.watching when stage one of the Tour de France finishes here.

:12:42. > :12:50.So, Phil, what happens next in Harrogate?

:12:51. > :12:54.The council have vowed to work hand`in`hand with businesses and

:12:55. > :13:01.trade. They will engage consultants to come up with a strategy for

:13:02. > :13:07.improving the town centre. Anything from better floral displays to

:13:08. > :13:14.attracting more quirky and independent businesses. This is not

:13:15. > :13:19.about impressing people coming for the Tour de France. The findings of

:13:20. > :13:25.this report will not be out until October.

:13:26. > :13:28.The Canadian mining company that has been test`drilling in Cumbria and

:13:29. > :13:34.Northumberland says one of Europe's biggest deposits of zinc could lie

:13:35. > :13:37.underground there. Minco has sunk a borehole, 1,600 feet deep, near

:13:38. > :13:42.Nenthead. The test drilling is the company's first in Northumberland.

:13:43. > :13:45.If the numbers add up and planning permission is won, a new mine could

:13:46. > :13:47.employ hundreds of workers. Our Business Correspondent, Ian Reeve,

:13:48. > :13:51.reports. High on a blasted moor, this is a

:13:52. > :14:01.hunt for valuable zinc. Under here could be one of Europe's biggest

:14:02. > :14:12.deposits. We expected real for another two years, try to understand

:14:13. > :14:17.what is going on here. `` to drill. There could be mine here sometime

:14:18. > :14:20.the future. The test drilling is this company's first in

:14:21. > :14:23.Northumberland. Others have been done nearby, but in Cumbria. If the

:14:24. > :14:28.numbers add up and planning permission is won, a new mine could

:14:29. > :14:36.employ hundreds of workers. It could transform the prospects of the

:14:37. > :14:40.nearby village. In the 1800s, thousands of workers were employed

:14:41. > :14:45.in its mines. Nenthead was one of the wealthiest villages in the

:14:46. > :14:49.country. Its prosperity made it the first in England to have electric

:14:50. > :14:52.street lighting. And this was the miners' reading room. Today, it's

:14:53. > :15:02.the village shop, but a mining return is longed for. It's quiet at

:15:03. > :15:06.the moment, but if these minds open, hopefully it will be busy. I

:15:07. > :15:13.think a lot of people would be for it. To bring more people for work

:15:14. > :15:17.into the area. Across the village, Gary's coach business is in the old

:15:18. > :15:23.lead washing building, but the opinion's the same. I think

:15:24. > :15:32.everybody is in favour. The village has struggled since lead mining

:15:33. > :15:46.finished. The school is now down to 30 pupils, the shop does well to

:15:47. > :15:50.keep going. A working mine though is many years hence. There's no

:15:51. > :15:54.favoured site yet. And it might not happen. The company could walk away.

:15:55. > :16:04.But what will remain is an apparent local appetite to rekindle the past.

:16:05. > :16:07.A full scale knitted boat is the centrepiece of a unique celebration

:16:08. > :16:11.of the lives of the unsung heroines of the fishing industry. Follow The

:16:12. > :16:15.Herring is an art and drama project which began life in South Tyneside.

:16:16. > :16:18.It will tour the length of the east coast next year, hitting local

:16:19. > :16:41.coastal communities on the way. Here's our arts reporter, Sharuna

:16:42. > :16:44.Sagar. It's herring time again. Knives are sharp, lips are red, and

:16:45. > :16:47.the fisher girls are ready. They were also known as the herring

:16:48. > :16:51.lasses, following the fleets along the coast and meeting the catch at

:16:52. > :16:54.each port. It was back breaking work from dawn to dusk, but these were

:16:55. > :16:57.strong, resilient and independent women.

:16:58. > :17:03.They lived as a community. Their stories have been mostly untold.

:17:04. > :17:10.Without them, the herring industry... But now their story is

:17:11. > :17:17.being told in a touring arts production which will include this

:17:18. > :17:23.boat with a coat. What is that? It is going to cover the outside of the

:17:24. > :17:41.boat. What are you making? Part of the inside of the boat. The Follow

:17:42. > :17:44.The Herring tour along the east coast will feature a play about the

:17:45. > :17:48.Eyemouth Fishing disaster of 1881, the worst the country has ever seen.

:17:49. > :17:50.189 men died and communities were torn apart. The stories inside

:17:51. > :17:53.display are to do with the lives that those communities lived. They

:17:54. > :18:06.resonate all the way down the coast. We have people knitting, community

:18:07. > :18:14.quires, `` choirs, it is a community project. That will be in May next

:18:15. > :18:18.year. But right now the organisers here in South Shields are making a

:18:19. > :18:21.casting call. The project is about fishing and knitting. And they need

:18:22. > :18:27.your help. Because the thing they are short of is herrings The knitted

:18:28. > :18:46.kind. Chaz the fisherman has made a few. Good work, Chaz. The first time

:18:47. > :18:49.she has done any knitting. Time for sport now and a significant

:18:50. > :18:52.transfer window departure at Sunderland in the last couple of

:18:53. > :18:54.hours, but not one of the players, Dawn?

:18:55. > :18:57.No, that's right. It's the Italian Director of Football Roberto De

:18:58. > :19:01.Fanti who's left the club, or parted company as a two`line official

:19:02. > :19:04.statement puts it. De Fanti was the man in charge of recruiting

:19:05. > :19:06.Sunderland's 14 summer signings in a spending spree that has since been

:19:07. > :19:08.largely discredited, especially after a disastrous start to the

:19:09. > :19:12.season. Well, Gus Poyet will be hoping

:19:13. > :19:15.Newcastle can do his Sunderland side a favour with victory at struggling

:19:16. > :19:18.West Ham, managed of course by ex`Magpies boss Sam Allardyce. The

:19:19. > :19:21.big question for the Black Cats is can they build on the

:19:22. > :19:27.morale`boosting win which took them off the bottom of the Premier League

:19:28. > :19:30.table? There's no question that Poyet

:19:31. > :19:34.inherited a mess when he succeeded the sacked Paolo di Canio as head

:19:35. > :19:37.coach in October. Too many summer signings failing to make their mark

:19:38. > :19:41.and longer`serving players out of form, or out of favour. But is the

:19:42. > :19:46.timing of Di Fanti's departure a surprise? Not at all. When you look

:19:47. > :19:58.back at preseason, all their signings, Paulo di Canio identify

:19:59. > :20:03.the type of player, and the quality of the player was not good enough.

:20:04. > :20:07.Adding he wants to have the last say, shall we say, on the players

:20:08. > :20:10.coming in and going out. Adam Johnson's hat`trick in the

:20:11. > :20:14.surprise 4`1 win at Fulham last weekend has given the club new

:20:15. > :20:18.belief ahead of the visit of Southampton, who have had their own

:20:19. > :20:27.behind the scenes departure this week. Everything we have been doing

:20:28. > :20:35.away from home, we want to bring that... I hope this situation will

:20:36. > :20:39.help us. It is sad to say. They are still having a great season.

:20:40. > :20:41.After his touchline rant during the unlucky defeat home defeat by

:20:42. > :20:44.Manchester City, a contrite Newcastle boss Alan Pardew, who

:20:45. > :20:50.escaped punishment by the FA, is giving himself community service.

:20:51. > :20:59.I'm not proud of the comment I made and I am going to punish myself. I

:21:00. > :21:06.have a couple of ideas that I would do, helping boys clubs in the area

:21:07. > :21:09.and stuff like that. I will make sure I look after my local community

:21:10. > :21:12.here. Four successive defeats in all

:21:13. > :21:15.competitions might be misleading, but a fifth at West Ham, who are

:21:16. > :21:20.getting key players like Andy Carroll back from injury, would be a

:21:21. > :21:24.hard pill to swallow. Middlesbrough are on a bit of a roll

:21:25. > :21:27.at the moment, unbeaten in five games and hoping to add another

:21:28. > :21:29.three points tomorrow when they face Championship strugglers Charlton at

:21:30. > :21:33.the Riverside. Wearing the keeper's jersey once again will be north east

:21:34. > :21:36.shot`stopping legend Shay Given, one of only a handful of players to have

:21:37. > :21:39.respresented all three of the north east's top teams.

:21:40. > :21:42.Manager Aitor Karanka brought in Shay Given on loan from Aston Villa

:21:43. > :21:45.two weeks after he took over from Tony Mowbray. It can be no

:21:46. > :21:47.coincidence that the Irishman's arrival has been matched with a

:21:48. > :21:53.characteristically modest keeper, who's extended his loan until the

:21:54. > :21:56.end of Feb, would rather be playing every week in the Championship than

:21:57. > :22:01.sitting on the bench in the Premier League. It's frustrating when you

:22:02. > :22:08.are not playing, just training for nothing. I was delighted when the

:22:09. > :22:13.manager brought me here. Put me straight in the time. I am delighted

:22:14. > :22:19.to be back out there again. Would you like to stay until the end of

:22:20. > :22:28.this season? It is out of my hands. I would much rather stay then go

:22:29. > :22:32.back and not play at Aston Villa. It's a future that could even herald

:22:36. > :22:38.one for 12 years. And the former Magpies' favourite admits he still

:22:39. > :22:43.keeps an eye on his old team. Newcastle this year are doing really

:22:44. > :22:49.well. Great credit to Alan Pardew and the staff. Sportsmen are

:22:50. > :22:53.notoriously superstitious, of course, and it seems Middlesbrough's

:22:54. > :22:56.recent run of good results may be down to a new dressing room pet as

:22:57. > :23:03.much as anything else. Hollie the hamster. She came around Christmas

:23:04. > :23:10.time and we had been unbeaten since then. Hopefully Hollie stays fit and

:23:11. > :23:12.well because, in theory at least, Boro should keep their winning

:23:13. > :23:15.streak going against strugglers Charlton tomorrow. We have to really

:23:16. > :23:28.focus on playing the top of our game. Anyone can beat anyone.

:23:45. > :23:46.Hartlepool United's new signing, Marlon Harewood, goes straight into

:24:03. > :24:08.reason to panic. Before that, we were unbeaten in the

:24:09. > :24:12.league in December. We had not lost at home going back to September. At

:24:13. > :24:16.the start of the season, people did not have a clue what we were doing,

:24:17. > :24:22.through October, November and December, people thought we were the

:24:23. > :24:29.best thing since sliced bread. I think the reality is somewhere in

:25:03. > :25:04.hit for the decisive boundary. They must be gutted tonight. That is

:25:05. > :25:15.depressing. A little bit of brightness for the

:25:16. > :25:28.weekend. A little bit of everything in fact. Tomorrow, we are expecting

:25:29. > :25:36.outbreaks of rain. Overnight tonight, mist and fog, particularly

:25:37. > :25:44.for the Vale of York and the North Pennines. That fog will be dense by

:25:45. > :25:52.Don. Temperatures lower than three Celsius. But still too mild for a

:27:02. > :27:08.but quite cloudy over the next couple of days. Across the North

:27:15. > :27:19.Possibly a spell of rain on Monday, but most places will avoid it. The
