:00:04. > :00:11.Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight with Roger Johnson and
:00:11. > :00:14.Annabel Tiffin. Our top story... Go back to the drawing board.
:00:14. > :00:17.Liverpool is warned it may lose its World Heritage Status if this
:00:18. > :00:25.development goes ahead. We will ask where this leaves the city's
:00:25. > :00:28.ambitious waterfront development plans. Also tonight...
:00:28. > :00:33.The deepening debt crisis. The firms flourishing as many of us pay
:00:33. > :00:40.to try to dig ourselves out. them all up, I was shocked.
:00:40. > :00:42.Absolute shock, horror. A sixth victim is named. Police
:00:42. > :00:44.believe Jack Beeley may have died naturally, although he was a
:00:44. > :00:48.poisoning victim at Stepping Hill Hospital
:00:48. > :00:58.And join me in Buxton to see why the council is in a lather over
:00:58. > :01:03.
:01:03. > :01:07.Also tonight, with just 185 days to go to London 2012, you can't help
:01:07. > :01:12.noticing the publicity surrounding the games. The modern games are
:01:12. > :01:16.much more than sport. They promises millions to the host city and
:01:17. > :01:22.hopefully the host country. Later tonight, we are asking what is in
:01:22. > :01:26.it for us? That is our question for you tonight. Do you think we will
:01:26. > :01:34.benefit? Do you work for a company who is doing work for the games? Or
:01:34. > :01:37.just tell us your Olympic memories. Contact us in the usual ways.
:01:37. > :01:43.Liverpool's world famous waterfront found itself at the centre of a
:01:43. > :01:47.worldwide row today. UNESCO, the body which bestow World Heritage
:01:47. > :01:50.Status, said the city was in danger of losing theirs because of a �5.5
:01:50. > :01:55.billion planning application. It urged the council and developers to
:01:55. > :01:58.rethink plans that could bring the city tens of thousands of jobs. At
:01:59. > :02:08.stake is that much-cherished World Heritage Status. Arif Ansari is in
:02:09. > :02:10.
:02:10. > :02:15.Liverpool tonight and joins us live. This is the most famous part of the
:02:15. > :02:21.Liverpool waterfront. The World Heritage site stretches all the way
:02:21. > :02:27.down the river to North Liverpool. It is that entire stretch which is
:02:27. > :02:34.also the subject of his planned regeneration, which UNESCO does not
:02:34. > :02:39.like, it has reservations about how it will change the river front.
:02:40. > :02:44.What comes fast, economy or history?
:02:44. > :02:51.It is mind-boggling, the plan to redevelop the waterfront. Peel
:02:51. > :02:57.Holdings wants to build offices, apartments and hotels, offering
:02:57. > :03:05.perhaps 40,000 jobs, but it too costly for some. I suppose this is
:03:05. > :03:12.about jobs, development, something Liverpool needs? White would you
:03:12. > :03:18.want to build Milton Keynes on this one will Heritage site? We have to
:03:18. > :03:25.get away from the notion that we need to create jobs. We need
:03:25. > :03:30.sustainable jobs by respecting the past. The United Nations grants the
:03:30. > :03:35.waterfront World Heritage Status, but warmth that could be damaged
:03:35. > :03:41.with deterioration or architectural coherence and loss of historical
:03:41. > :03:49.and cultural significance. That is the hotel, the buildings
:03:49. > :03:54.occupying... The leader of the council does not want to lose their
:03:54. > :04:01.status or the prospect of regeneration. You can compromise
:04:01. > :04:04.too far. This has to be a balance and I believe that UNESCO and Peel
:04:04. > :04:10.Holdings and the council and planning authorities can work
:04:10. > :04:17.together to reach a compromise. city council will soon judge this
:04:17. > :04:22.planning application. Liverpool City Council will have to
:04:22. > :04:27.decide that planning application pretty soon, in February, but these
:04:27. > :04:31.buildings behind me were built to reflect Liverpool's International
:04:31. > :04:40.economic power. Now perhaps some fear of those may have to give
:04:40. > :04:43.weight as Liverpool plans its next stage of expansion. Thank you.
:04:43. > :04:48.This is the week when most of us rue the shopping we did over
:04:48. > :04:51.Christmas. It is the week the credit card bills come in. And for
:04:51. > :04:58.an increasing amount of people here in the North West, they are the
:04:58. > :05:02.final straw. Here are some sobering One person is declared insolvent or
:05:02. > :05:05.bankrupt every 60 seconds, every working day in the UK. We have the
:05:06. > :05:08.second-highest level of household debt in the world. The Consumer
:05:08. > :05:11.Credit Counselling Service reckons households in Crewe have the
:05:11. > :05:14.highest level of personal debt outside of London. Across the
:05:14. > :05:18.country, 10 million people struggled to manage their debts
:05:18. > :05:22.last year. Despite that, only 1.54 million people sought help. So what
:05:22. > :05:32.help is out there? And, when it comes to someone managing your
:05:32. > :05:34.
:05:34. > :05:44.Debt might be rising. The business of debt is booming too. And argue

:05:45. > :05:48.worried about debts? But she due p to manage your debt? For Steve,
:05:48. > :05:54.realising he had a debt problem was the hardest part. Getting into debt
:05:54. > :06:01.had been easy. It was very easy, before you know what. Then you are
:06:01. > :06:04.in too much debt, been shocked when you add it all up. A �47,000 debt

:06:09. > :06:18.Within weeks, he was on top of his problem. The responsibility came at
:06:18. > :06:22.a price, which was up to �90 per month. This company in Stockport is
:06:22. > :06:29.one of many charging for debt. -- debt advice. Business is booming.
:06:29. > :06:33.They took on 50 staff this month. They will take on 100 next month.
:06:33. > :06:39.There was a 21% increase of calls in December and this week will be
:06:39. > :06:43.their busiest. They believe the sector is doing so well because the
:06:43. > :06:49.free sector cannot cope with demand. Why should people in financial
:06:49. > :06:52.problems pay for debt advice when plenty out there is free? Some of
:06:52. > :06:55.the clients that I've spoken to who've been to the free sector say
:06:55. > :06:58.that they've had to wait some period of time before they can seek
:06:58. > :07:02.advice. And when they did, they didn't get the help they were
:07:02. > :07:05.hoping for. They had to write to creditors themselves. Eileen Devany
:07:05. > :07:10.has offered free debt relief worth half a million pounds in the last
:07:10. > :07:15.six months. Citizens' Advice do not have the big marketing budgets of
:07:15. > :07:19.big companies. They do offer the same advice. And they say more.
:07:19. > :07:22.can apply for a remedy to have the debt wiped off. The private sector
:07:22. > :07:28.won't do that, because they base their charges on how much debt
:07:28. > :07:32.you're in in the first place. where to turn? Steve eventually
:07:32. > :07:39.called a free provider for advice. With their help, he set up a plan
:07:39. > :07:45.of his own. The �90 fees now went straight towards clearing the debt.
:07:45. > :07:51.You don't think you should pay for it? Absolutely not. You can do it.
:07:52. > :07:55.How is life now? Brilliant. We are in control of our money. Tomorrow,
:07:55. > :08:01.we will hear from borrowers hit by high cost loans. The high cost
:08:01. > :08:06.lenders hit by loan sharks. And the councils trying to fight back.
:08:06. > :08:10.We were asking for your comments about the Olympics, but we have
:08:10. > :08:17.some e-mails coming in on that about whether there will be a
:08:17. > :08:22.legacy, but also a number of people commenting about debt. You can get
:08:22. > :08:29.in touch if you believe we should cover a story in relation to that.
:08:29. > :08:32.Yes, using the normal ways. Now for other news across the region. New
:08:32. > :08:35.figures show that more than 700 hospital patients in Wirral have
:08:35. > :08:39.waited a year or more for operations and treatment. That is
:08:39. > :08:41.the second longest wait in the country. The trust which runs
:08:41. > :08:49.Arrowe Park and Clatterbridge hospitals submitted the figures to
:08:49. > :08:56.the Department of Health. But it now says they are incorrect.
:08:56. > :09:02.Following a review, it is believed that number is far fewer. We have
:09:02. > :09:06.got that down to 50 patients, so the key message will be that the
:09:06. > :09:11.figures submitted repressed -- misrepresented this situation for
:09:11. > :09:16.our Hospital. It is how we have used the computer system to record
:09:16. > :09:21.a complicated pathway. The funeral took place today of
:09:21. > :09:24.Harry Tomlinson. He was one of the last surviving crew members of the
:09:24. > :09:27.famous wartime ship HMS Kelly. The 91-year-old from Bispham was
:09:27. > :09:31.onboard the ship, captained by Lord Mountbatten, when it was sunk in
:09:31. > :09:34.1941. The crews' exploits, including an incident when she
:09:34. > :09:40.survived being torpedoed in 1940, inspired the Noel Coward film In
:09:40. > :09:46.Which We Serve. We were frightened for our lives and for freedom. --
:09:46. > :09:51.we were fighting. Some dark times, but also wonderful things done,
:09:51. > :09:59.great courage, and we must not forget that and remember that we
:09:59. > :10:02.have this freedom because of what people had done it then. -- done
:10:02. > :10:05.then. A man from Wirral, who forced young
:10:05. > :10:09.teenage girls in America to send him images of themselves via the
:10:09. > :10:11.internet, has been jailed for six years. Jonathan Murphy, who's 35
:10:11. > :10:18.and from Rock Ferry, admitted blackmail and downloading and
:10:18. > :10:22.distributing indecent images. Liverpool Crown Court heard that
:10:22. > :10:24.police found more than 2,000 images on his computer.
:10:25. > :10:28.A couple from Lancashire have been fined for letting their house fall
:10:28. > :10:31.into a state of filth and disrepair. Neighbours had repeatedly
:10:31. > :10:33.complained about the state of Francis Roland Walsh and Catherine
:10:34. > :10:36.Pammanter's home in Thornton Cleveleys. Public health officers
:10:36. > :10:39.from Wyre Council who inspected the house described the smell as
:10:39. > :10:42.unbearable. Stepping Hill Hospital moved to
:10:42. > :10:44.reassure patients and their families today after a sixth death
:10:44. > :10:47.was announced in connection with the investigation into contaminated
:10:47. > :10:54.saline. 73-year-old Jack Beeley died on Friday from what police
:10:54. > :10:57.believe were natural causes. However, they say he remains part
:10:57. > :11:01.of their investigation, because it is believed he had been poisoned
:11:01. > :11:04.last summer by contaminated saline. He is now among three patients who
:11:04. > :11:11.have died recently, but who it is believed survived poisoning through

:11:14. > :11:18.focus of public and media attention ever since news of the saline
:11:18. > :11:23.contamination broke last summer. Police believe 21 people were given
:11:23. > :11:27.the contaminated saline between June and July last year. To date,
:11:27. > :11:31.six of those people have died. The latest of those is 73-year-old Jack
:11:31. > :11:41.Beeley from Heaton Norris. He died on Friday. Today, his family paid
:11:41. > :11:45.
:11:45. > :11:47.this tribute to him. They said... But police and the hospital are now
:11:47. > :11:56.making a distinction between the deaths of Tracy Arden, Arnold
:11:56. > :11:58.Lancaster and Derek Weaver. They all died last summer. And those of
:11:58. > :12:05.Bill Dickson, Linda McDonagh and now Jack Beeley, who all died
:12:05. > :12:13.within the past few weeks. It is highly likely that these later
:12:14. > :12:18.It is important to differentiate between the three patients who died
:12:18. > :12:28.shortly after being poisoned with contaminated saline last summer.

:13:06. > :13:16.And getting in a bit of a lather. Why Buxton's town councillors want
:13:16. > :13:19.a new soap scrubbed out. It was years in the making. But
:13:19. > :13:22.when civil servants finally drew up the details of a speed limit for
:13:22. > :13:27.Windermere, they made one crucial mistake. They decided it should be
:13:27. > :13:30.measured in miles per hour. The Lakeland authorities presumed it
:13:30. > :13:37.was to be in knots, or nautical miles per hour, which are slightly
:13:37. > :13:42.faster. One attempt to sort it out failed. Now they are trying again.
:13:42. > :13:46.The speed limit on Windermere was set following a long and
:13:46. > :13:54.controversial public inquiry, meaning vessels cannot trouble off
:13:54. > :13:58.10, but tend what? It was agreed it should be ten miles per Alloa, 10
:13:59. > :14:08.statute miles pub hour. But what was being enforced his 10 nautical
:14:08. > :14:16.miles per hour. It was a mix up and no one spotted it. What is the
:14:16. > :14:24.difference? 10 statute miles is how you would major a car on the road.
:14:24. > :14:29.10 nautical miles is for boats. There is a difference. 10 knots is
:14:29. > :14:33.1.5 miles an hour faster than 10 statute miles per hour. At
:14:33. > :14:38.difference of 1.5 miles per hour may not seem much, but it means a
:14:38. > :14:47.lot for those using Windermere. This water scare is travelling at
:14:47. > :14:53.10 knots, -- this water scare is troubling. You can find it
:14:53. > :14:56.difficult to learn how to water-ski at the wrong speed. This woman is
:14:56. > :15:04.travelling at ten miles per hour, her sister vessel is travelling at
:15:04. > :15:11.10 knots, which puts her ahead. miles per hour is slower than 10
:15:11. > :15:15.knots. We would have to adapt if the change went ahead. The park
:15:15. > :15:21.authority tried to clear things up asking for the 10 knots to be

:16:10. > :16:14.Olympics begin, 185 days, many of us are looking forward to it but
:16:14. > :16:18.most of the events take place in London. The organisers say there is
:16:18. > :16:22.something for all of us outside the capital and they call it the
:16:22. > :16:26.Olympic legacy. It is a term that has been used a lot since London
:16:26. > :16:35.won the bid to stage the game. Stuart fenders has been finding out

:17:15. > :17:20.across the country have benefited from contracts to help build
:17:20. > :17:25.facilities. The Government says a raise profile for London could be

:21:13. > :21:18.he has run into trouble with the local council who say they have the

:23:21. > :23:26.Good evening. What a rotten day we have had. So much cloud and damp,
:23:26. > :23:31.miserable weather. Tomorrow is not that much better. It looks like
:23:31. > :23:36.being cloudy, damp, it will be very mild, which is the saving grace.
:23:36. > :23:42.But fairly windy today. In terms of mild weather, tonight, eight
:23:42. > :23:46.Celsius. Normally you would expect that during daylight hours. There
:23:46. > :23:52.is a change ahead, by the time we get through to Friday night, at
:23:52. > :23:59.temperatures into minus figures. Today today, you know what we had.
:23:59. > :24:05.The Rayner was so fine, the radar picture cannot always pick it up. -
:24:05. > :24:10.- the rain was so fine. More to come tonight. There is more waiting
:24:10. > :24:18.out to the Irish Sea. It drags in more rain through the Night tonight.
:24:18. > :24:22.It is cloudy, it is overcast and dull. Visibility is so poor out and

:24:36. > :24:40.temperatures were really good, seven or eight everywhere. On
:24:40. > :24:44.Wednesday morning, all of the cloud cover will be around. If there is
:24:44. > :24:48.any room at all for a break, it will be over parts of Merseyside
:24:48. > :24:53.and Cheshire. There will be just a glimpse of sunshine there. That
:24:53. > :25:01.will be very short-lived. A lot of cloud cover there. It looks like
:25:01. > :25:05.being largely dry, but the computer cannot really pick up a fine rain.
:25:05. > :25:10.Particularly over the tops of the Pennines, visibility will be poor.
:25:10. > :25:14.Tomorrow night, another area of rain working its way wants the sun
:25:14. > :25:18.has gone down. It will be slightly better than it was through the day
:25:18. > :25:23.today. But what you will notice is the wind is picking up. Picking up
:25:23. > :25:28.in the early hours of the morning and it will be fairly gusty. Around
:25:28. > :25:32.coasts and hills, it could be touching gale-force for awhile.
:25:32. > :25:36.Temperatures, look at that, between nine and 11 Celsius. Things will
:25:36. > :25:41.start to change as we head through the next couple of days. At the
:25:41. > :25:45.moment, we are at the mercy of these weather fronts. Friday and
:25:45. > :25:49.Saturday, an area of high pressure working its way in. It may push the
:25:49. > :25:53.by the funds out of the way but it changes the wind direction.
:25:53. > :25:58.Temperatures start falling away. There could therefore be some snow

:26:03. > :26:06.Exciting times! Way asked you at the start of the
:26:06. > :26:12.programme whether you thought there would be a legacy from the Olympics.
:26:12. > :26:15.Lots of people getting in touch. Thanks to everyone who has e-mailed.
:26:15. > :26:20.Simon Hale runs a local football club and says the simple answer is
:26:20. > :26:23.No, London will keep all the profits. Why should I get excited
:26:23. > :26:30.or help them? Colin also thinks there will be no North West legacy,
:26:30. > :26:33.he says what London wants, London gets and it will be the same again.
:26:33. > :26:36.Mandy Richardson in Buxton is looking forward to the Olympics
:26:36. > :26:41.because she has tickets for the archery. She says it will be an
:26:41. > :26:44.amazing experience, creating much needed income not just a London bus
:26:44. > :26:48.for the rest of the UK. Justine Kennedy in Liverpool says
:26:48. > :26:52.people from this region perhaps cannot afford to go and cannot
:26:52. > :26:56.appreciate the millions that have been spent on the games. A Ryan
:26:56. > :27:00.says, it is not every day you get to be involved in such a huge event
:27:00. > :27:04.in your home country. It is definitely something to be proud of.
:27:04. > :27:07.Last Ellis cannot see how the North West will benefit and wonders where
:27:07. > :27:13.the profits, if there are any, will actually go.
:27:13. > :27:17.A couple of others. John says, in the North West, we already suffer
:27:17. > :27:21.from the Olympics, although large infrastructure projects have been
:27:21. > :27:25.cancelled so money can does it. Thank you for all of those. I am
:27:25. > :27:30.looking forward to it. I wish we had got tickets.
