:04:13. > :04:15.will take on a reflective atmosphere as a session of prayers beghn. It
:04:16. > :04:21.has been organised by the ntmber of Christian churches across the town.
:04:22. > :04:25.The park naturally attracts very young people with its cafe `nd
:04:26. > :04:28.parked and adventure course. It is suggested that this is an area that
:04:29. > :04:33.could have been used for grooming and abroad. All sections of the
:04:34. > :04:37.community here have been affected by this report on child sexual
:04:38. > :04:41.exploitation published last week, not least those in the business
:04:42. > :04:47.sector. Our correspondent D`nni Hewson reports.
:04:48. > :04:53.A lot of effort has been made to regenerate the town centre `fter the
:04:54. > :04:58.backing of Maryport in 2007. Revelations of the last few weeks
:04:59. > :05:01.have had football heart. Whhle no one wants to ignore what happened,
:05:02. > :05:12.some fear for the future. `` Maryport. At the moment it hs very
:05:13. > :05:16.negative. If this carries on, it will continue into our Christmas
:05:17. > :05:20.treat and I hate to say it, but many businesses rely upon that Stride and
:05:21. > :05:27.if they do not have it, it will make a major impact. The timing hs
:05:28. > :05:32.particularly damaging. As the economy picks up and investlent
:05:33. > :05:38.opportunities start, perception plays a huge part. We are working
:05:39. > :05:45.hard to find premises and to invest in this town. Obviously, as I said
:05:46. > :05:49.yesterday, I would reinstatd that. This pales into insignificance
:05:50. > :05:55.compared to some of the findings of the report and the victims of this,
:05:56. > :05:58.which is the most important thing. The town has been hurt and
:05:59. > :06:05.rebuilding its brand will bd doubly hard as the story is not finished.
:06:06. > :06:08.Calls for resignations, arrdsts and father demonstrations can only
:06:09. > :06:12.rekindle negative headlines. Business leaders feel it is
:06:13. > :06:20.impossible to gauge how it will help the wider economy. It is too early
:06:21. > :06:26.to assess that. I think certainly the proposed English Defencd League
:06:27. > :06:31.March on the 13th of this month will have an affect on the town centres.
:06:32. > :06:38.At the moment we are not getting any reports of business interruption or
:06:39. > :06:42.people cancelling contracts. It has taken decades to build up a
:06:43. > :06:47.reputation capable of attracting big business. That reputation `` that
:06:48. > :06:54.reputation could be tarnishdd, but not on every front.
:06:55. > :06:57.Well, it is now the chance of the Christian church to respond to this
:06:58. > :07:04.scandal and read prayers thhs evening. Johnny Bean out as the
:07:05. > :07:09.local reverend. You have had a great response to this invitation for
:07:10. > :07:13.prayer. You will be preening `` you will be praying for the victims
:07:14. > :07:21.tonight. `` Johnny May now hs the local minister. How can the church
:07:22. > :07:27.help? We have healing ministry and counselling and people from other
:07:28. > :07:30.agencies. We have some experience of child protection through our own
:07:31. > :07:36.experiences and we have somd knowledge to share with othdr
:07:37. > :07:42.people. Hopefully from a position of humility because we have had to
:07:43. > :07:45.learn from our own mistakes. There is a parallel prayer vigil outside
:07:46. > :07:51.of the police and council officers, why is that taking place? The role
:07:52. > :07:56.of the Council is crucial in addressing this problem and
:07:57. > :07:58.obviously the police have two play their part in bringing the
:07:59. > :08:03.perpetrators of these crimes to justice. But it is something for the
:08:04. > :08:09.whole team unity and we must come together to tackle the crishs
:08:10. > :08:14.together, really. Practically, this is a special service and pr`yer
:08:15. > :08:20.session. Can this help? Do xou need a long`term plan? This is khnd of a
:08:21. > :08:25.first response, the first step on a long journey. We have seriots issues
:08:26. > :08:30.and questions to deal with. That will be tough but we must create a
:08:31. > :08:34.climate of trust and friendship to other team unity groups, showing
:08:35. > :08:46.support to each other across a Rotherham. We believe that prayer is
:08:47. > :08:49.part of that. Thank you for joining us, reverend. Within one hotr's
:08:50. > :08:51.time, prayer groups while attending a special service were membdrs of
:08:52. > :08:55.the public have been invited to pray for peace in this town.

:13:27. > :13:30.are already having an effect on Yorkshire, even before that

:13:34. > :13:46.Queensferry. Well, Peter Box, the leader of
:13:47. > :13:57.Wakefield Council joins us now. Why do we need it? I think lost
:13:58. > :14:05.people believe we can make decisions better at a local level. How would
:14:06. > :14:10.it work? What we want is to build on what we have already achievdd and
:14:11. > :14:15.create a combined authority in the area. We have received one building
:14:16. > :14:21.pounds from the government `nd we hope to create some 63,000 jobs to
:14:22. > :14:25.ensure that we grow the economy in West Yorkshire by ?5 million over
:14:26. > :14:29.the next seven years. We have huge ambition but we could do more if we
:14:30. > :14:34.had more. Would that not just creates more political bure`ucracy,
:14:35. > :14:42.you need someone to govern that cash? We do not want a more
:14:43. > :14:46.politicians, but we do have existing structures. The combined authority
:14:47. > :14:50.that is being created, that body could deal with the cash th`t we are
:14:51. > :14:56.asking from the government. One example would be that the government
:14:57. > :15:01.spends about ?22.5 million dach year on skills and the economy and that
:15:02. > :15:06.is made up of 103 different funding parts. Surely it makes sensd to give
:15:07. > :15:10.it to the combined authoritx and power equipment in South Yorkshire
:15:11. > :15:17.to spend locally. Regional assemblies, are the viable options?
:15:18. > :15:22.It is not about creating regional assemblies. There was a refdrendum
:15:23. > :15:28.many years ago in the north`east and people voted no. There was no
:15:29. > :15:31.appetite back then, but I think the referendum in Scotland has hncreased
:15:32. > :15:35.debate and things have changed. At the assistance of the government we
:15:36. > :15:45.have a combined authority so we have accountable bodies which ard hugely
:15:46. > :15:48.ambitious and giving a real lead across West Yorkshire in trxing to
:15:49. > :15:51.create more jobs, trying to create skills for our younger generation.
:15:52. > :15:55.Thank you for joining us, Pdter I am sure that debate will continue.

:16:26. > :16:28.And he's hoping more of us will get on our bikes too
:16:29. > :16:30.Cycling in general is good for the population,
:16:31. > :16:34.We will all be slimmer, I am three stone slimmer th`n I was
:16:35. > :16:40.And so, generally, I believd it is a good thing to do, just make sure you
:16:41. > :17:03.have a safe route into work and use as many cycle routes as possible.
:17:04. > :17:11.One man swapped his boss for a bicycle last week. Craig Barnes

:17:18. > :17:22.for the last ten months I h`ve been cycling eight months to work using a
:17:23. > :17:30.battery`operated bike. For the last two years I caught the bus.
:17:31. > :17:41.An hour on the bus, 25 minutes on the bike! This is much bettdr. I do
:17:42. > :17:47.not like using bus lanes. You cannot get a seat on the bus and it cost
:17:48. > :17:50.you ?56 each month. I have lost weight over it and I feel good in
:17:51. > :17:55.the morning. I am singing and buzzing about. You look at xour
:17:56. > :18:02.colleagues and they are walking in almost falling asleep. It is a good
:18:03. > :18:10.thing. After three months you have the option to buy yet. This company
:18:11. > :18:14.helped me to get it running. You would ask me how much did I pay for
:18:15. > :18:24.this bike, it did not cost le anything. Council funding is really
:18:25. > :18:28.what makes this scheme accessible. It is an initiative run by the

:24:26. > :24:33.human! Human beings are alw`ys fighting, this is much more
:24:34. > :24:37.peaceful! It is fascinating, really interesting, and it has so luch
:24:38. > :24:43.story behind it. I think it looks beautiful. A Chinese utopia is
:24:44. > :24:49.undoubtedly the star of the show, but there are 22 monumental
