Good evening and welcome to the late Look North. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Why most of us are facing cuts in public services despite a 5% rise | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Battle for the ballroom; the London Ritz tells it's namesake | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
in Brighouse to change its name - 80 years after it opened. | :00:17. | :00:25. | |
the next couple of days. A storm the next couple of days. A storm | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
Norris approaches. I will have the forecast shortly. Thank you for | :00:33. | :00:41. | |
joining me. Health advice, street cleaning | :00:42. | :00:42. | |
and highways maintenance - these are just some of the services | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
that will be cut in Yorkshire in the coming months - | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
even though Council Tax is set This week, four of our authorities | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
are setting their budgets for the year ahead, and it looks | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
like all of us are going to be only Doncaster, North Yorkshire | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
and York have said they want to raise council tax | :01:03. | :01:11. | |
by under 4%. Every other council in our region | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
wants council bills This means if you live in a Band D | :01:14. | :01:21. | |
council tax property - that's a typical family home - | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
you can expect to see your bill The reason why it's | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
increasing so much this year Here's our social affairs | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
correspondent Spencer Stokes. After seven years of council cuts, | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
where did you find yet more savings? In Wakefield, the street | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
cleaning team is being targeted. From April, bins will be | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
emptied less often and The council will save money | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
but local residents will pay more with council | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
tax rising by 4.99%. The council leader says it's | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
the maximum people can stomach. I have heard nobody say | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
they would be prepared to pay higher We have consulted on the budget | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
and people say they now recognise there is no | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
part of the service They also recognise that setting | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
the level of 4.99 something they are 4.99% is at the upper end | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
of council tax rises. 1.9% for basic council | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
services, things like highways maintenance, | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
street cleaning and swimming pools and then 3% for adult social | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
care. It is that adult social care | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
that is making this year's rise feel The 3% will not solve | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
the social care funding issue. It's expected there will still be | :02:35. | :02:50. | |
an overspend in Yorkshire of At this Huddersfield care home, | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
the extra cash is welcome. The vast majority | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
of our residents are The additional funding | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
will allow us to develop our staff, spend money | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
on and development of the staff team It will allow us to | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
add additional beds. Every council is facing the seam | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
issue - deciding what is essential 73% of people are | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
overweight in Rotherham. But the town's insitute | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
of obesity is under review. The Rotherham population would have | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
been 30 tonnes heavier | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
had we not existed. Councils have been cutting | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
for seven years and now taxes are rising to new levels | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
to fund social care. The pressure on adult social | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
care comes because of rising numbers needing social care | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
at a time when funding has been falling in real terms | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
for several years. The Government knows this and this | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
is an attempt by them with the extra money with the extra council tax | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
to try and put is sticking | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
plaster on for this year while they think | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
of a better solution for two, | :04:07. | :04:07. | |
three or four years out. More tough decisions will be | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
necessary in the years ahead. It's been a landmark in the town | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
for 80 years but now the Ritz Ballroom in Brighouse may | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
have to close its doors Lawyers representing | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
the world-famous Ritz in London says the name is theirs and shouldn't be | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
used by anyone else. But changing the name could cost | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
the Yorkshire business Glitter balls and sequinned dresses, | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
this is the Ritz in Brighouse. It's been used as a cinema | :04:35. | :04:54. | |
and bingo hall, but in 1981 The Ritz has been home | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
to northern soul for The Ritz hotel in | :04:58. | :05:06. | |
London says it must The actual losing of the name, | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
which is obviously very saddening for such an iconic | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
building, is maybe not terminal that the ability to market a new name | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
that nobody knows without any Internet connection whatsoever | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
is just a massive task. It is a massive rebrand | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
that is not going to be The sound of Bon Jovi | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
will be here on Saturday. Will this be the final curtain | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
for the Ritz as we know it? I think it's a good local theatre | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
that needs to stay in Brighouse. There is nobody from London | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
who wants to come here. Nobody from here would be | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
going to the Ritz in London. It's part of Brighouse's culture | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
and where people meet. I think we should be | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
able to keep in name. It is not the first time a venue has | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
been challenged about the In 2012, a conference centre | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
was threatened with legal They changed their web address | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
but managed to keep the If it was as simple as that, | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
we would go and buy It is the domain name | :06:14. | :06:24. | |
which is an important factor. Without that, we can't link | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
up to a new website. We are virtually | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
Internet and visible This year, the Ritz in Brickhouse | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
celebrates its 80th It has until next week | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
to remove its signs. Its namesake in London | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
refused to comment. So does the Ritz in | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
London have a case? I'm joined now by Liz Ward | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
from Virtuoso Legal, which specialises in | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
Intellectual Property law. We heard a lady saying anybody who | :06:48. | :06:59. | |
has booked the Ritz in London does not want to come to Brickhouse and | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
vice versa. It is not likely people are going to be confused and there | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
are so many out there. Why are they doing this now quiz?? | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
are so many out there. Why are they doing this now I think it is Billy | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
boy tactics. They have been using the name for 80 years than they have | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
got prior rights to use it and they should carry on using it. As you | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
have identified, there are numerous Ritz is around the country. Nobody | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
is confusing them with the Ritz in London, which has a unique place in | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
the establishment. It is uniquely positioned in terms of its grandeur | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
and everything it stands for. Nobody is confusing Brighouse Ritz with | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
that. Why every doing it now after 80 years? I am baffled by it. I | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
think it is to do with the fact they have recently had a lot of | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
they are just getting more they are just getting more | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
territorial now about their rights. The other thing that you have to | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
bear in mind is that these days the commercial side is all about online | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
visibility. A lot of big brands to not like being knocked off the top | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
spot by somebody in Brickhouse or another company with a similar name. | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
Do the Ritz in London have a case? I do not think they have a case. I've | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
had like to see the facts on which they have based their letter to the | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
Ritz in Brickhouse. It seems to me like they are getting pushed around | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
and. What would your advice be? Seek specialist advice. It is an | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
important area of law and it is something you need a specialist to | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
have a look at. It strikes me that he they have a good case and a good | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
defence. Huddersfield Town left it late | :08:52. | :08:53. | |
to beat Reading 1-0. They move to within four points | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
of second placed Brighton. But Sheffield Wednesday | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
suffered a setback losing In league one, Chesterfield drew | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
1-all with Millwall. Finally tonight - | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
Meerkats are always popular Time to look at the forecast. It is | :09:06. | :09:17. | |
not looking good. And settled over the next couple of days. We have | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
something that is more pleasant tomorrow. Factor tonight, we have | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
this band of rain which will make its way from the west. Heavy spells | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
of rain on high ground. For most of us the rain will be patchy and this | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
is the boundary between the south and north. North Yorkshire, behind | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
that weather front, temperatures down below six Celsius at nearly | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
four or five Celsius. Elsewhere, eight or nine will do us. Those | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
winds will strengthen. It is not a bad start to the morning across | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
Yorkshire. Sunshine after that band of rain clears, which has gone by | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
the time you get the afternoon. We are ramping up those winds from the | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
west. Temperatures up to 10 Celsius. When you add that blustery wind, it | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
will feel colder than that and it will feel chillier than today. The | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
main forecast or focus of the forecast is to storm Doris. This is | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
the next named storm. It is coming to us by Thursday. An area of deep | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
pressure and lots of tightly packed ice bar as they are. We are going to | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
see impacts of strong winds. We are going to see rain and we are going | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
to see some snow. Let me show you be warning areas. This warning for five | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
to ten centimetres of snow dipping into Yorkshire. This area covering | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
most of our patch, winds up to 60 mph. An amber warning. That is a lot | :10:52. | :11:02. | |
to take in. The BBC website has more details and | :11:03. | :11:03. | |
the day, particularly up towards the evening rush hour. It calms down on | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
the Outlook toward the end of the week and then milder again from the | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
wheel them. More on storm Doris now with Matt Taylor. | :11:11. | :11:12. |
