:01:10. > :01:12.Trade at Leeds Market has f`llen by 40% in just two months with nine out
:01:13. > :01:15.of ten traders saying it is because of the closure of the car p`rk to
:01:16. > :01:18.make way for the new Victorha Gate development. That's the finding of
:01:19. > :01:26.an exclusive BBC survey which spoke to 160 stall holders.
:01:27. > :01:38.Mid day and this man is waiting for customers. He waits dot`macro and

:01:46. > :01:49.downs. Until a few months b`ck when trade dropped off a cliff. Trade at
:01:50. > :01:56.the moment is rock bottom. Last Saturday we were 50% down across the

:02:37. > :02:44.The closing of the market c`r pass. The car park. It is the car park.
:02:45. > :02:48.The car park closed and trade halved overnight. The car park closed down
:02:49. > :02:55.and the business started to go down and down. We are offering an online

:03:00. > :03:05.wants to walk half a mile whth six carrier bags full of meat. The car
:03:06. > :03:08.park closed because of the new multi`million pound Victori` gate
:03:09. > :03:14.development. It will bring John Lewis and more trade sits on the
:03:15. > :03:19.former market car park and ht won't be ready for two more years. Nobody
:03:20. > :03:21.from the council would come on camera to do an interview btt they
:03:22. > :03:25.sent a statement saying thex are working with the developer to make
:03:26. > :03:30.parking available for the m`rket and promote other places to park and

:03:43. > :03:48.strawberries. Many traders say they have seen little sign of th`t help
:03:49. > :03:53.and this man fears for his future. Very, very bleak. I will not be able
:03:54. > :03:58.to continue after Christmas if trade stays like this and I know ` lot of
:03:59. > :04:02.other traders will be the s`me. Either they will have to drop the
:04:03. > :04:09.wrens, helpers with the ratds or expect a house of cards scenario

:04:12. > :04:16.the next few years should bd a new dawn for Leeds market will stop the
:04:17. > :04:20.question is, how many old traders will be here to see it?

:04:38. > :04:42.Having a new development, Vhctoria Gate with a new John Lewis hs a
:04:43. > :04:47.It is meant to be the goose that lays the golden egg.
:04:48. > :04:50.We don't want to make sure the market ends up eight de`d duck
:04:51. > :04:56.So we need to make sure that our traders are able to trade whilst
:04:57. > :05:00.The problems seems to be th`t the council are saying this is
:05:01. > :05:06.It isn't because this is gohng to take a couple of years to btild
:05:07. > :05:10.Is that two years of torment for the traders, who might not even
:05:11. > :05:15.Our job as a council was to make sure that isn't to years
:05:16. > :05:20.I understand the council ard looking at seeing whether they can get
:05:21. > :05:22.reduced parking fees in negotiation with some private operators.
:05:23. > :05:26.That needs to happen sooner rather than later.
:05:27. > :05:33.It is a very well loved institution, the market and we need to m`ke sure
:05:34. > :05:38.The second thing is making sure we promote the market as much
:05:39. > :05:43.Especially those that work within the centre of Leeds, that they
:05:44. > :05:48.Just using it once a week and spending ?5,
:05:49. > :05:51.maybe just buying your lunch there would make a huge differencd to
:05:52. > :05:56.I know you are singing the songs on behalf of the traders re`lly
:05:57. > :06:00.but shouldn't the ruling Labour group on the council realisdd this
:06:01. > :06:03.was going to happen before the Victoria Gate development started?
:06:04. > :06:06.It was obvious part parking closing down would cause problems?
:06:07. > :06:09.They were given assurances there were alternatives in place.
:06:10. > :06:13.Your investigation has obviously highlighted that is not the case.
:06:14. > :06:18.I don't think it is a party political issue,
:06:19. > :06:23.it is a working partnership with the council, all the party groupings
:06:24. > :06:25.and the traders to get this stabilised as soon as possible.
:06:26. > :06:30.And in the long`term will mhllions on this new retail sector?
:06:31. > :06:34.Hopefully the new retail operation at the
:06:35. > :06:36.shopping centre will bring hn even more people to this end of town
:06:37. > :06:39.But when they come down to this end of town
:06:40. > :06:43.and are attracted by John Ldwis they need to have some traddrs
:06:44. > :06:46.offering them something to bite at the market and obviously we need
:06:47. > :06:50.to make sure they stay in btsiness throughout this sensitive pdriod.
:06:51. > :07:03.If you would like to get in touch with those on this or any other
:07:04. > :07:12.story, we are on Facebook. Next tonight,

:07:58. > :08:02.cruelty in Sudan and fled the violence to study for a degree in
:08:03. > :08:06.these studies at Bradford University. It is a terribld irony
:08:07. > :08:12.that our night out in Sheffheld should end in his murder. E been at
:08:13. > :08:14.a family wedding on May the 25th when he encountered a large crowd

:08:20. > :08:26.and died nine days later. Hhs cousins are devastated, describing
:08:27. > :08:29.him as kind and peace`loving. They cannot believe he survived the war
:08:30. > :08:33.zone to end up dying in what they still regard as one of the safest
:08:34. > :08:41.countries in the world. It hs tragic. This experience is `wful
:08:42. > :08:53.when your cousin dies in a circumstance. The family cannot
:08:54. > :09:01.express our sorrow. The reaction of his mother in the refugee c`mp was
:09:02. > :09:09.tremendous. It was very sad. This is very tragic for the family. Those
:09:10. > :09:21.people who are responsible for the crime we need to be caught. The
:09:22. > :09:25.police investigation is continuing. One man was arrested over the

:09:48. > :10:03.like what they've heard? What they have been told if they can
:10:04. > :10:06.come up with a plan that represents value for money for the UK taxpayer,
:10:07. > :10:14.then the government will look at it. I must stress state aid, although it
:10:15. > :10:20.is signed off by Europe it does come out of UK taxpayers money. So the
:10:21. > :10:26.government have a fine line to walk between saving jobs and not wasting
:10:27. > :10:31.cash. I am joined by the NUL and Nigel Adams, the MP for the area.
:10:32. > :10:36.Chris, value for money, can this represent value for money? We can
:10:37. > :10:40.demonstrate it is value for money for the taxpayer to keep 1300 men
:10:41. > :10:48.and people in the supply industries in work, as up poster giving them a
:10:49. > :10:56.ten thousand download to put them out of work. You have been trying to
:10:57. > :11:07.attract private investor. You would think a private investor wotld have

:11:16. > :11:17.lots of uncertainties and hhgh capital expenditure at the start.
:11:18. > :11:25.You have to wait until it is developed to produce the cold. There
:11:26. > :11:28.is uncertainty the moment as to where the electricity will be
:11:29. > :11:32.generated from and the environmental issues. Nigel, we know this has been
:11:33. > :11:36.done elsewhere, Germany and Spain. Why wouldn't the UK do it? The
:11:37. > :11:45.government can only look at what has been the government for help. They
:11:46. > :11:53.have offered cash to do that, ? 0 million and that is still on the
:11:54. > :11:55.table despite one of the parties walking away last week. But that
:11:56. > :11:57.money is still there. I would like to see this plan. We all want to CB
:11:58. > :11:59.'s minds stay open, we need this coal and these are highly skilled
:12:00. > :12:05.jobs in our region which we must keep. The government can only deal
:12:06. > :12:09.with what is put to them for hope. The money is still on the t`ble If
:12:10. > :12:13.this plan comes forward, I `m pleased the Minister has sahd they
:12:14. > :12:21.will look at it. But it does have two represent value for mondy by the
:12:22. > :12:29.taxpayer. The mountain needdd could be up to around ?80 million. Unions
:12:30. > :12:32.will go away, talks with thd company over the next couple of days and
