02/01/2017 Look North (North East and Cumbria)

Now on BBC1, its time for the news where you are.

Hello and welcome to your Bank Holiday Monday Look North.

Bypassed - the landowner who's waited a decade to be paid

for the land she gave for the Haydon Bridge bypass.

And how did our football teams get on in the Bank

The farmer who sold land to the Government

for the A69 Haydon Bridge bypass in Northumberland says she's

still awaiting final payment more than a decade

Annabelle Morshead is owed ?100,000 and says she can't

In 2009, Haydon Bridge finally got its bypass.

It was the last village along the A69 to have the busy trunk road

But eight years on, the family which sold the land to make

the bypass possible still hasn't been fully paid.

My father was always keen - he was chairman of the parish

council of Haydon Bridge - that Haydon Bridge needed

a bypass and when it came that we would facilitate it

but I never thought that we would be still waiting,

coming up for ten years, for such a simple scheme.

The family agreed the sale in 2006 but is still waiting for around

They also say they haven't been properly reimbursed for remedial

In a statement, the Highways Agency told us it was working closely

with the claimants' solicitor and was committed to finding

They have said this for the last couple of years.

Those poor people who are going through HS2 and the dualling

of the A66 and all this, I mean, they need to be warned

that it is not as straightforward as you are led to believe.

Investigations are continuing after the body of a man was found

Police were called to Holly Terrace opposite Rowntree Park yesterday.

The man was recovered from the water a short time later.

Officers are trying to find out how he came to be in the river.

A man found murdered in a house in Scarborough last week has been

Shaun Atkinson, who was 49, was found in his home

in St John's Avenue early on December the 27th.

Two men have appeared in court charged with his murder.

A North Yorkshire charity says it needs more volunteers to help

with the increasing number of people living with dementia.

Alzheimer's support group Side By Side wants everybody

with dementia to be able to access their service.

Although Frieda Ward was a lifeguard and swimming instructor

in Scarborough for decades, today it is her first trip

Frieda has vascular dementia but she still loves swimming,

so volunteer Liz Colling is helping to keep Frieda and her

They were introduced by local Alzheimer's charity Side By Side.

They match dementia sufferers with volunteers who enjoy the same

things and can help them participate in the activities they used to.

She really did make me laugh, a real sense of humour,

She's got more sparkle in her eye, and she's clearly

So when she starts to do it and talk about it,

Frieda has spent her life in Scarborough.

She has raised a family here and is a well-known figure locally,

as she has taught hundreds of schoolchildren to swim.

Getting back in the water is a way for her to reconnect with her past

But it is only possible with the help of a volunteer,

By 2025 there could be over 1 million people with dementia

and I would like people to think, if dementia was to affect you,

your family, your friends, how you would really

like the support to be for that person, and perhaps

if you have a few hours a month, or a week, of something you can do

to enhance the journey of the person with dementia.

As our population ages, dementia will touch more lives

than ever before but it can be tackled side-by-side.

In today's football, in the three o'clock matches,

Sunderland hosted Liverpool at the Stadium of Light,

where twice they came from behind, each time with a Jermain Defoe

penalty, to earn an excellent 2-2 draw.

Newcastle, meanwhile, were at Blackburn Rovers where,

despite dominating with chances like this from Mo Diame,

and this from Dwight Gayle, the only goal of the game came

from a second-half Charlie Mulgrew free kick for Blackburn.

Meanwhile in today's lunchtime kick-off, Middlesbrough held

Premier League Champions Leicester to a 0-0 draw at the Riverside.

I think a point against the champions, I think

We had a lot of the ball, pressing quite high but, again,

our delivery in the box let us down as usual.

I thought it was a good game, good atmosphere from the Boro fans,

In League Two, Carlisle led Grimsby, but lost 3-1.

Hartlepool got a point - 2-2 at Accrington.

And Match of the Day's prestigious Goal of the Month competition

for December has been won by five-year-old Sunderland

Sunderland mascot Bradley, who's from Blackhall Colliery

His pre-match penalty goal against Chelsea keeper

Thibault Courtois was awarded joint Goal of the Month alongside

Henrikh Mkhitaryan's goal for Manchester United

Bradley's mum, Gemma, says Bradley is over the moon.

Will the weather warm our hearts, or not?

A lot of fine weather to come across our part of the world

Tomorrow, the brightest weather always in eastern areas.

Newcastle, Sunderland, Berwick and right along that coastal strip.

Further west there'll be a lot of cloud and perhaps a little drizzle.

What's going to happen on Tuesday night is this cold front will bring

a bit of patchy rain, but clearing things up so Wednesday

we're back to blue skies with plenty of sunshine around.

It's pretty cold out there at the moment and certainly

there'll be a widespread slight frost in rural areas.

More cloud further west, perhaps a few spots of rain for Cumbria.

Here's a look at tonight's lowest temperatures.

Take care on the roads - there'll be ice on untreated surfaces.

Always a lot of cloud in western areas, where there could be just

a little light rain, a bit of sleet over

The best of the sunshine, Berwick right down to Middlesbrough

and into eastern parts of North Yorkshire.

Top temperatures tomorrow numerically higher than today

but when you add in a fresh wind it will feel fairly chilly.

Top temperature - 7 Celsius, 45 Fahrenheit.

Then the sunshine returns on Wednesday - beautiful day,

Thursday, we hang on to the fine weather but there is a risk

And that's our round-up so far this Bank Holiday Monday.

There's always more on our online pages, of course, and I'll

Good evening. It has been turning colder and clearer and our weather

watchers have been capturing the sunshine. Here is the scene in

Derbyshire and where we have had the clear skies by day, we are in for a

cold night tonight. Temperatures already plummeting, particularly

towards the south with some icy stretches across parts of central

and southern England, and into Wales. For the north-west, not
