Good evening. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:12 | |
Hundreds of people representing groups from across | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
Greater Manchester have united this afternoon to fight plans | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
to build houses on Greenbelt land. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
They oppose plans by ten councils | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
who claim there's not enough brownfield land available. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
Yunus Mulla reports. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
Add up the numbers and you would eventually arrive | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
at more than 220,000 new houses. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
The communities affected say it makes sense to join forces - | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
this rally was to show they're united. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
We all use the green space, the green belt for the same reason. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
You know, it's that green lung, it's so important to everybody's | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
quality-of-life that we are singing from the same hymn sheet. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
The Greater Manchester Spatial Framework involves | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
ten local planning authorites - | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
green belt land left would fall from 47% to 43%. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
I think it needs to be more ambitious on brownfield sites. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
In the past, Greater Manchester achieved 80% or 90% development | 0:01:00 | 0:01:05 | |
on brownfield land. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:06 | |
There is no reason why it shouldn't continue to do it in the future. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:10 | |
Housing needs, it's being claimed, | 0:01:10 | 0:01:11 | |
are based on flawed population projections | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
and a desire to increase Council Tax receipts. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
We now need to look at whether or not | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
we've got the right plan and whether or not, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
on the basis of the responses that people have given | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
and the evidence people have submitted, | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
we need to think again on those specific sites. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
That is what we'll do. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:29 | |
Earlier this year, the Government announced what it called | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
"ambitious plans" to fix the housing market. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
And it referred to building the right homes in the right places. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:38 | |
More weight will be given to brownfield sites | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
and national planning policy amended. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
I think it's biased in favour of developers | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
versus the communities. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
We are very upset about it, because we want... | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
It wouldn't matter whether it was local politicians | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
or national politicians, we want them to listen to the voices | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
of the communities they serve. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
The newly-elected mayor will have a say, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:10 | |
and then consultation follows in the autumn - | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
time yet for some to get the changes they demand. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
New Ferry Town Team has launched a fund raising campaign to support | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
those affected by last weekend's suspected gas explosion. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:25 | |
The group, which is made up of residents, businesses | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
and local authorities wants to raise ?10,000 | 0:02:28 | 0:02:29 | |
to help rebuild after the explosion | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
which ripped through the area last Saturday night, | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
leaving two people seriously injured, 31 others hurt | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
and many people displaced. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:36 | |
Forensic science lab company Randox, which provides drug and alcohol | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
testing for police forces, says accreditation | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
for its Manchester laboratory has been suspended. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
Earlier this year, two people who had worked | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
for the company were arrested amid allegations | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
of perverting the course of justice | 0:02:49 | 0:02:50 | |
in relation to manipulation of data. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
They are now on bail. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:54 | |
Randox says accreditation for the Blackley lab | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
will be suspended until investigations are complete. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
You may remember, in March last year, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
fire crews battled a huge blaze at Wythenshawe Hall. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
Greater Manchester Fire Services officers worked through the night | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
to save the historic building. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
Well, a year on, they've returned to see progress on the restoration | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
of the timber-framed medieval hall. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
A temporary roof was built to allow the hall to dry out. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
Archaeologists have sifted through huge amounts of debris | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
to save important items | 0:03:24 | 0:03:25 | |
and engineers have assesed the property. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
Now the bulk of the reconstruction can begin. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
Sport, and in the Premier League, | 0:03:32 | 0:03:33 | |
the Merseyside derby saw Liverpool beat Everton 3-0. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
Burnley lost 2-0 to Tottenham at Turf Moor. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
Manchester United dropped more points in their effort | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
to get into the top four with a goalless draw against West Brom | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
at Old Trafford. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:49 | |
Jose Mourinho's side have now drawn 11 games in the top flight | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
and are in fifth place. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
Superleague, and Matty Russell's hat-trick helped Warrington | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
end their six-game Super League losing streak | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
after a draw with Hull FC. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
Widnes Vikings beat Leigh Centurions 37-24. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:06 | |
Here's a look ahead to the forecast with Rebecca Wood. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
Good evening. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:10 | |
Well, it has been a day of sunshine and showers. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
But the first day of April, so what do we expect? | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
As we had through tonight, | 0:04:16 | 0:04:17 | |
we will see a ridge of high pressure building, | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
and that will settle things down a little bit, | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
and kill off those showers. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:22 | |
So through tonight, | 0:04:22 | 0:04:23 | |
clearing skies mean our temperatures will fall away. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
It will be chilly, we could get some mist patches developing | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
here or there, and we're looking at how temperatures | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
falling down to possibly five Celsius in some spots. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
So a chilly start to the day tomorrow. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
But it is going to be a fine and dry day, with lots of lovely sunshine. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
There will be some fairweather cloud through the afternoon - | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
it could squeeze out the odd spot of drizzle. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
Temperatures pushing back up into the mid-teens in some spots. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
So not a bad day at all. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
Staying settled into the new working week as well. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:55 | |
That's all from us this evening. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:56 | |
We're back tomorrow at around 6:40pm. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
Until then, goodbye. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
Good | 0:05:13 | 0:05:13 |
