:04:33. > :04:35.she ordered in November. She was hoping to have it at her home by

:04:41. > :04:45.onto the internet, you see the item, you pay your money, you expect to
:04:46. > :04:52.receive the item. And they just haven't done that.
:04:53. > :04:55.So what has the company had to say? Like the customers, we had
:04:56. > :05:00.difficulty getting through. I went to their postal address, a street in
:05:01. > :05:04.Rochdale. As when ten, there was a customer there are complaining good

:05:15. > :05:20.They said some orders had not been delivered and apologised for the

:05:25. > :05:29.would be delivered by this Friday, December 23 at the latest. This
:05:30. > :05:33.statement goes on to have a go at that Facebook page and says that a

:07:08. > :07:10.being urged to fight a proposal to build 750 new homes
:07:11. > :07:13.on greenbelt land. Opponents say the plan to build
:07:14. > :07:17.on a golf course in Flixton But supporters say it's part
:07:18. > :07:23.of a huge long-term plan to ease Greater Manchester's housing crisis
:07:24. > :07:25.and boost the local economy. Our Political Editor Nina Warhurst
:07:26. > :07:42.is at Trafford Council This plan is really dividing
:07:43. > :07:46.opinion, isn't it? That's right, Annabelle. Tonight's meeting is
:07:47. > :07:53.essentially about the human cost of urban growth. And whether it is
:07:54. > :07:59.worth using green belt land so that development can happen. The council
:08:00. > :08:05.is to acknowledge that thousands of residents do not want the planned to
:08:06. > :08:08.go ahead. As part of Greater Manchester spatial framework plan,
:08:09. > :08:13.they predict the local economy could grow by ?5 billion over two decades
:08:14. > :08:18.but for that to happen we need more than 200,000 new homes and for that
:08:19. > :08:21.to happen, we need to read some of our green belt land. Not just here
:08:22. > :08:27.in Trafford but across greater Manchester.
:08:28. > :08:33.This is a farm near Bolton, Michael is feeding cows here as his father
:08:34. > :08:37.did before him. Laura was hoping to continue this tradition but now the
:08:38. > :08:42.land is honourable to development. It will be a complete change of
:08:43. > :08:48.life. What will we do we go? I a clue to be honest. This is all you
:08:49. > :08:55.know? All I've done since I was a child -- I have not got a clue.
:08:56. > :08:59.Michael's farm is currently part of Greater Manchester's protected green
:09:00. > :09:03.belt land, making up 47% of its land mass. And new developments, these
:09:04. > :09:08.areas of Orange will be freed up to be built on. And if it happens,
:09:09. > :09:15.Greater Manchester's green belt will drop to 43%. This golf courses on
:09:16. > :09:19.the other side of Manchester in Trafford and, like Michael's farm,
:09:20. > :09:23.it's earmarked for development under the plan. The plan says over the
:09:24. > :09:28.next two decades, Greater Manchester's development will go up
:09:29. > :09:33.by almost 300000 and we need to be ready. But to do that, something has
:09:34. > :09:37.to give. In all, 5000 hectares could be lost but council leaders say that
:09:38. > :09:41.by taking control, the remaining green space will be better
:09:42. > :09:46.protected. The consequences of not having a plan is that we will
:09:47. > :09:50.develop in an unconstrained way and I think it is important that we are
:09:51. > :09:56.able to say that we know where development will be, we plan for it
:09:57. > :09:59.so that we can control it. New homes mean new pressures on existing
:10:00. > :10:03.communities. And more than one dozen MPs have got together to say that
:10:04. > :10:08.they are worried that already stretched public services could
:10:09. > :10:12.buckle. If there will be substantial building of new houses, we need
:10:13. > :10:16.infrastructure to improve as well and better roads, provision for
:10:17. > :10:20.schools and hospitals, and doctors. All of it needs to be taken into
:10:21. > :10:24.account. Michael says that he fully understands that the world keeps
:10:25. > :10:28.moving, and he has to move with it all be left behind. But he does hope
:10:29. > :10:35.that his family does not have to give up their way of life. Andrew
:10:36. > :10:37.Weston joins me now, the leader of the Labour group here at Trafford
:10:38. > :10:43.Council who called the meeting tonight. What do you hope to achieve
:10:44. > :10:49.by the meeting tonight? We are looking to secure a cross-party
:10:50. > :10:53.acknowledgement and an acceptance that given that feeling and nature
:10:54. > :11:02.and make-up of the site, that the council should never put this
:11:03. > :11:04.forward for consideration in the framework in the first place. Beyond
:11:05. > :11:07.that, if we can secure agreement, we would be hoping all councillors
:11:08. > :11:12.cross-party will be sending in their objections, citing problems with the
:11:13. > :11:16.Flixton proposal to make clear that those who are pulling together the
:11:17. > :11:21.final documents that Brixton is not an appropriate site. People will be
:11:22. > :11:27.thinking at home, we desperately need new houses, it's a classic case
:11:28. > :11:32.of, not in my backyard? -- Flixton. I am very supportive of the
:11:33. > :11:35.principle of this spatial framework and larger sites across Trafford,
:11:36. > :11:41.they are going to be developed on green belt land. I feel that we have
:11:42. > :11:46.two security homes that we need for the future -- had to secure. I think
:11:47. > :11:51.that anyone should take a look at this site in Flixton, it has been a
:11:52. > :11:55.cherished local facility. Every place that is built on will be
:11:56. > :12:00.cherished by someone? There's a big difference between surety deeply
:12:01. > :12:08.important sites like proposed in Carrington and a small location in a
:12:09. > :12:12.village were with -- that would mean real upheaval for the community.
:12:13. > :12:16.We will see at the meeting tonight whether any pressure is put on the
:12:17. > :12:20.council and if they amend plans. You saw David Nuttall talking about
:12:21. > :12:24.his frustration about the fact that this is pressing ahead from Greater
:12:25. > :12:28.Manchester's combined authorities. Do not forget we are five months
:12:29. > :12:34.away from having two elected mayors in the region and we will see more
:12:35. > :12:40.in powers devolved away from Whitehall.
:12:41. > :13:00.STUDIO: It will be very interesting. Thank you.
:13:01. > :13:03.An appeal is being made tonight - for more people to give
:13:04. > :13:05.consent to donate parts of their eyes for transplant.
:13:06. > :13:06.The campaign's being backed by a visually-impaired
:13:07. > :13:09.swimmer from Preston - who this year won Gold
:13:10. > :13:12.Stephanie Slater - who suffers from a degenerative eye condition -
:13:13. > :13:14.has had her sight saved by a cornea transplant.

:13:18. > :13:21.Stephanie Slater is used to overcoming adversity -
:13:22. > :13:25.But while preparing for this summer's Paralympic Games
:13:26. > :13:27.she was told she needed a sight saving cornea transplant.
:13:28. > :13:32.I cannot thank my donor enough. I am very lucky that there is a shortage
:13:33. > :13:35.of corneas and I am very lucky that I was able to get one when I did.
:13:36. > :13:39.The cornea is a clear, dome shaped window at the front of the eye,
:13:40. > :13:44.It protects the eyes from germs and some of the suns UV Rays.
:13:45. > :13:46.When damaged it can become distorted, causing loss of vision.
:13:47. > :13:53.A lot of people I have spoken to do not realise that you can donate your
:13:54. > :13:56.corneas. People thought it was artificial. And I was like no, it
:13:57. > :13:59.comes from a real donor. But while corneal transplantation
:14:00. > :14:01.is more successful than any other form of organ donation - getting
:14:02. > :14:03.donors, is proving difficult. Consultant Surgeon Mark Batterbury
:14:04. > :14:14.carried out Stephanie's transplant. We hit crisis every now and again,
:14:15. > :14:18.and we cannot transplant as many as we require. Most of them are
:14:19. > :14:22.psychological and cultural issues, donors for example thinking that
:14:23. > :14:26.their whole I may go into a recipient and the recipient is
:14:27. > :14:31.thinking that they might resemble the donor as well. This is not the
:14:32. > :14:35.case at all. At the University of Liverpool, a team of 40 work to
:14:36. > :14:38.tackle vision loss and it is one of the biggest centres of its kind in
:14:39. > :14:42.Britain. Here, that cannot be used for
:14:43. > :14:47.transplant will be used for research with the consent of donor. We are
:14:48. > :14:50.developing new therapies for treating eye diseases used here in
:14:51. > :14:55.the north-west or can be used globally to vision loss. -- treat
:14:56. > :14:57.vision loss. Three months on from her transplant,

:15:06. > :15:07.be able to finish my turns, getting vision back into my eyes will be
:15:08. > :15:09.amazing. Her next big aim is to compete

:15:50. > :15:52.Concern is growing for the future of Morecambe Football Club
:15:53. > :15:54.after the resignation of one of its directors.
:15:55. > :15:56.There's also increasing financial uncertainty after the club
:15:57. > :16:02.was taken over by a Brazilian businessman in September.
:16:03. > :16:04.Diego Lemos has so far been unavailable for comment.
:16:05. > :16:12.Richard Askam is outside The Globe Arena this evening.
:16:13. > :16:22.It is slightly concerning to say the least for fans but how serious this
:16:23. > :16:23.this situation for the club? Very serious, you get different senses of
:16:24. > :16:32.how serious it might be depending on who you speak to. I spoke to a
:16:33. > :16:37.member of staff who said that he expected ways and staff to be paid
:16:38. > :16:41.on time, and another said that he did not believe Diego Lemos has the
:16:42. > :16:45.cash to fund the club. Morecambe fans have however been
:16:46. > :16:48.left in the dark. The sun was out in Morecambe today but the club's
:16:49. > :16:53.future is beginning to look increasingly gloomy. The brand-new
:16:54. > :16:56.era predicted under the new owner has not materialised.
:16:57. > :17:01.Resignations and financial uncertainty have left supporters
:17:02. > :17:05.feeling lost. At the moment, it is frustration more than anything. We
:17:06. > :17:08.do not know what is happening. Not had any indication from the club.
:17:09. > :17:13.Every club has ups and downs but we need to be kept in the know. We
:17:14. > :17:19.could rally together if we were kept in the know. Brazilian businessman
:17:20. > :17:21.Diego Lemos took over in September. This is me speaking to him weeks
:17:22. > :17:27.ago. But players have been sold rather
:17:28. > :17:30.than bought and in October they were paid almost two weeks late.
:17:31. > :17:40.Nigel Adams, one of the directors, today said this as he resigned...
:17:41. > :17:47.The Morecambe supporters trust would like answers from the club's owner.
:17:48. > :17:53.We are very worried that he's not been seen for 45 weeks at the club.
:17:54. > :17:58.People have not been paid. There are rumours that there is financial
:17:59. > :18:04.unrest. And Nigel going makes matters worse. They don't pay higher
:18:05. > :18:09.wages but with a monthly bill estimated at ?150,000, and losses
:18:10. > :18:13.understood to be ?10,000 per week, the club needs significant cash to
:18:14. > :18:20.take over. Are you starting to wonder whether he has the money to
:18:21. > :18:25.fund the club? Yes. Definitely. We are three months into his brain, we
:18:26. > :18:33.have had to sell some of our best to pay wages. And nobody knows what is
:18:34. > :18:38.happening -- reign. The manager says that this is the most important
:18:39. > :18:44.period in club history and at this stage, there is little evidence to
:18:45. > :18:47.suggest that he is wrong. I've had a quick chat today with the former
:18:48. > :18:51.majority shareholder and current chairman still Peter McGuigan, he
:18:52. > :18:55.didn't want to say much but he said he was concerned about the current
:18:56. > :19:01.situation and has tried to contact Diego Lemos. So far, he's been
:19:02. > :19:04.unsuccessful. I understand he's been based in Qatar for several years but
:19:05. > :19:09.supporters here would like to know whether he is the man to take the
:19:10. > :19:10.club forward or not. STUDIO: Richard, thank you. We will continue

:22:31. > :22:33.because of this, the man that they helped has a home of his own. An
:22:34. > :22:38.example to us all really. This group of young people have seen
:22:39. > :22:47.someone in real need, this act of kindness. It has allowed the
:22:48. > :22:55.individual to get the necessary support he requires for his life.
:22:56. > :22:58.Well today - all the children that were there that day in October -

:23:40. > :23:45.Stay warm and go to sleep instead of being cold all night. I think I've
:23:46. > :23:50.done something good. I was telling people that it made me well up
:23:51. > :23:55.inside because of what they had done. He was so happy when he heard
:23:56. > :24:00.he had a house. He was saying mum, he can put a Christmas tree up and
:24:01. > :24:04.can sleep in his bed! He was made up. An act of kindness by a group of
:24:05. > :24:06.young people will make a life changing difference for this
:24:07. > :24:08.individual. It is fabulous. Katie Walderman, BBC
:24:09. > :24:18.North West Tonight, I just think that is fantastic. That
:24:19. > :24:22.picture has changed that man's life. A very special Christmas for him.
:24:23. > :24:28.And your heart goes out to anyone who will find themselves without a
:24:29. > :24:31.home on Christmas Day. It is not going to be good weather this week.
:24:32. > :24:36.Not that cold. But it will be really poor
:24:37. > :24:38.conditions. Good evening. We've been talking about difficult conditions
:24:39. > :24:44.in the run-up to Christmas and that is still our story for the next 24
:24:45. > :24:48.hours, we are looking at storm Barbara coming towards us. Very
:24:49. > :24:51.windy weather, storm Barbara is not the only difficult conditions that
:24:52. > :24:56.we have. On Christmas Day, it will still be
:24:57. > :25:00.tricky. Wet first thing this morning, the sun came out this
:25:01. > :25:05.afternoon. A couple of showers here and there. This evening, this is the
:25:06. > :25:08.latest picture, a fume or moving across north-west England over the
:25:09. > :25:12.next hour. -- a few more. Look at this clear
:25:13. > :25:20.weather. More clear skies than recently. Blue on the map,
:25:21. > :25:24.particularly over high-level routes. Temperatures generally 3-5 in most
:25:25. > :25:30.towns and cities but where you have long clear spells towards the early
:25:31. > :25:32.hour of the morning, 0- -1, even minus two degrees.
:25:33. > :25:37.That's the exception rather than the rule but it could be possible in
:25:38. > :25:40.places. Some showers in the north of the region, in parts of Cumbria,
:25:41. > :25:42.Isle of Man, and in Lancashire first thing tomorrow morning. That's the
:25:43. > :25:53.pattern tomorrow. Anne -- and unsettled picture. Not many
:25:54. > :25:57.showers, evenly spaced across the region. They will be heavy and
:25:58. > :26:03.lively but they are moving through quickly. Look at this, some spells
:26:04. > :26:07.of sunshine. Temperatures drop considerably but in many places,
:26:08. > :26:10.temperatures of seven or 8 degrees in the sunshine. This breeze from

:26:16. > :26:21.Afterwards, conditions begin to get difficult. This yellow warning is
:26:22. > :26:25.for storm Barbara, and on Friday, this warning is in place for
:26:26. > :26:28.anywhere to the north of the Wirral. Places like Cheshire, greater

:26:47. > :26:53.will be difficult as well. Thank you.. As you walk back, it's a
:26:54. > :26:58.momentous walk tonight... For the final time...
