:00:13. > :00:18.Good evening. A 15`year`old boy from Bradford has gathered almost 2,000
:00:19. > :00:21.signatures on a petition over fears about the future of a local medical
:00:22. > :00:24.centre. James Slater began his campaign after it was announced that
:00:25. > :00:27.the company which offers surgery and diagnostic services at the
:00:28. > :00:39.Eccleshill Treatment Centre hadn't had its contract renewed.
:00:40. > :00:43.I am coming around with a position that petition. I wonder if you would
:00:44. > :00:46.sign it. James is just 15 years old but has taken it upon himself to
:00:47. > :00:51.fight for the treatment centre. In just over a week, his raised over
:00:52. > :00:56.2000 signatures on a petition to try to keep services at the site. My
:00:57. > :01:01.grandma has had a lot of treatment at the centre and she has been happy
:01:02. > :01:05.with the service she is received. Alternatively, if she couldn't have
:01:06. > :01:14.treatment there, should have to go a long way. ` she would have to go a
:01:15. > :01:19.long way. The centre is run by a private company and employs more
:01:20. > :01:24.than 80 staff. It aims to cut NHS waiting times by offering minor
:01:25. > :01:29.surgery and diagnostic services. But the company's contract runs out in
:01:30. > :01:32.July and wasn't renewed in a recent tendering process when none of the
:01:33. > :01:36.bids were successful. The local NHS says it is working on plans to find
:01:37. > :01:40.a new provider for some of the services that are housed on this
:01:41. > :01:43.site. That could mean one company or a range of companies taking over
:01:44. > :01:49.those services but they will be given the option of using this
:01:50. > :01:56.building. I am really sad. The people of Bradford are coming here
:01:57. > :02:02.to be treated and they are happy. I haven't found one who says this is
:02:03. > :02:07.rubbish. On the contrary. They will have nice words for the centre and
:02:08. > :02:14.the people who work there. James will now deliver his petition to the
:02:15. > :02:19.NHS. Thank you. Meanwhile, patients will be seen as that ` as normal at
:02:20. > :02:23.the centre until July. Well, James joined us earlier and I
:02:24. > :02:28.asked him why he was so passionate about saving the centre. My grandma
:02:29. > :02:31.has had treatment there on numerous occasions and she's been happy with
:02:32. > :02:36.the treatment she is received at the centre. It is off the back of that.
:02:37. > :02:40.Why are they wanting to close thing down that is working and people are
:02:41. > :02:44.happy with? And also because of the public response of the outcry
:02:45. > :02:48.wanting to save the centre. We've all been stopped in the street to
:02:49. > :02:55.sign a petition. How have people been reacting to you, young man? A
:02:56. > :03:00.lot of people this morning were shocked that I was going at them in
:03:01. > :03:04.the seat. Mainly, the response has been that they want is saved. I
:03:05. > :03:07.don't think they are bothered about who was collecting signatures, just
:03:08. > :03:10.that somebody is doing something positive. And you want more
:03:11. > :03:16.signatures. Yes, we want more signatures. If people want to sign
:03:17. > :03:23.the position that petition, they can go online and sign the petition.
:03:24. > :03:29.There are other ways, including the local MP. What are you going to do
:03:30. > :03:33.with all these names on signatures? Are you going to use it as a threat
:03:34. > :03:39.or are you going to go to your local MP? We have been calling on David
:03:40. > :03:41.Ward for his support on this. I'm hoping to meet with the
:03:42. > :03:46.commissioning group at some point to hamper signatures in. It is also
:03:47. > :03:50.being used as a threat as well. It shows the sheer amount of people
:03:51. > :03:53.that support this. They might just take you seriously. Well done. Thank
:03:54. > :03:57.you. Police have named a man and woman
:03:58. > :04:00.found dead at a house in Worksop. The bodies of Leszek Dantes and his
:04:01. > :04:04.wife Malgorzata Dantes, both aged 54, were discovered at a house in
:04:05. > :04:06.Hardwick Road East on Monday morning. A postmortem examination
:04:07. > :04:09.concluded that they both died from stab wounds. A 28`year`old man
:04:10. > :04:14.arrested on suspicion of murder remains in hospital.
:04:15. > :04:18.Yorkshire's Wildlife Trust is warning that one our best`loved
:04:19. > :04:21.birds is in desperate decline. The loss of habitat and nest site has
:04:22. > :04:25.been hitting our barn owls for years. But, in 2013, they suffered
:04:26. > :04:35.their worst year on record, in face of the bitterly cold spring.
:04:36. > :04:40.If you can only name a handful of birds, the chances are this is one
:04:41. > :04:45.of them, a barn owl. It's ghostly grace, synonymous with summer
:04:46. > :04:49.meadows, but numbers in Yorkshire have crashed. To severe winters and
:04:50. > :04:54.a wash`out summer took their toll. Last year was better but they were
:04:55. > :04:59.very few birds left to breed. Barn owls are not a long`lived bird list
:05:00. > :05:03.of three or four years old is a good age for a barn owl. You only need
:05:04. > :05:12.two seasons without breeding and those adult birds... You can easily
:05:13. > :05:19.get a drop`off. No one can change the weather but open grasslands can
:05:20. > :05:25.be managed. Man`made boxes can replace last ` natural nest sites.
:05:26. > :05:31.This artist has put up 150 boxes. Last year, they were empty. I saw
:05:32. > :05:35.the aisles here, courting end hunting together as a pair. It was
:05:36. > :05:38.such a disappointment. All I can do is come down here and feed these
:05:39. > :05:46.owls, to see if it works. It has worked on six eggs. She is
:05:47. > :05:51.probably... I think she will double clutch this year. That is only part
:05:52. > :05:56.of the battle. Of the eggs hatch, then the young owls will need
:05:57. > :05:59.somewhere to go, somewhere to hunt, somewhere to nest or we could be
:06:00. > :06:02.just one more bad summer away from disaster.
:06:03. > :06:05.Finally, Todmorden's been getting ready to celebrate the arrival of
:06:06. > :06:08.the Tour de France in Yorkshire. Dozens of bikes, scooters and prams
:06:09. > :06:11.have been transformed for a colourful parade, taking place this
:06:12. > :06:15.Saturday. It's part of the Yorkshire Festival, marking a hundred days of
:06:16. > :06:35.art and culture ahead of the Tour's start in July.
:06:36. > :07:02.Some rain on the way tomorrow. Cloudy and cruel as well. Some of
:07:03. > :07:05.the rain later might turn out to be a bit heavy and thundery. A lot of
:07:06. > :07:07.instability around and on Saturday, this weather front will bring
:07:08. > :07:09.further showery rain upon the south`west. We've already got low
:07:10. > :07:12.cloud and fog towards the coast. That will push all the way inland.
:07:13. > :07:15.One or two showers at the moment will fizzle out. It's a grey end to
:07:16. > :07:17.the night. A bit misty in places. Damp as well with drizzle.
:07:18. > :07:20.Temperatures down to seven or eight Celsius. For tomorrow, grey and damp
:07:21. > :07:23.in places. A bit patchy rain developing as we had to the morning.
:07:24. > :07:24.It is later on that that patchy rain may become heavier and locally
:07:25. > :07:27.thundery, especially across central and western areas. It will turn wet
:07:28. > :07:31.through the course of the day. Temperatures, lying along the coast.
:07:32. > :07:32.11 or 12 inland. Some drier brighter spells as well. That is it from me.
:07:33. > :07:36.11 or 12 inland. Some drier brighter spells as well. That is it from me.
:07:37. > :07:39.on. Sunday might be brighter. Now over to Louise Lear for the national
:07:40. > :07:43.weather. Good evening. Today has been a day
:07:44. > :07:46.of sunny spells and a few scattered showers, but where we see the
:07:47. > :07:52.sunshine, we have also seen some warmth, with temperatures in the
:07:53. > :07:57.high teens. A slightly disappointing story across the far north-east of
:07:58. > :08:02.Scotland. We keep that easterly feed through the night to night, but
:08:03. > :08:05.looking out into the Atlantic, we also start to pick up the
:08:06. > :08:08.south-westerly circulate in, and area of low pressure bringing in
:08:09. > :08:17.some blustery winds for the start of the weekend. Tonight it stays mostly
:08:18. > :08:24.dry, with some fog around. And we pick up the risk of a few showers in
:08:25. > :08:26.the far south-east. Clearer skies at the the South West, and
