Good evening. stay with us on BBC1 - | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
A south east visitor attraction had run up debts of nearly ?500,000 | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
including over ?70,000 owed to the local council. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
Dickens World in Chatham had been beset by financial | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
difficulty, as documents filed at Companies House in May rdvealed. | :00:19. | :00:27. | |
Dickens world opened to a blaze of publicity nine years ago, | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
Ten days ago it appeared to have closed, although there had been no | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
The attraction has been hitting the headlines again today | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
as documents show back in M`y, Britannia Entertainment Limhted | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
which traded as a Dickens World owed a total of almost | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
Medway Council were owed more than ?72,000. | :00:47. | :00:54. | |
That ?72,000 can make a real difference to the community | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
The changes to finance for local Government mean that business rates | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
are more important than ever, so I would urge officers to do | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
all they can to ensure they get back what amount they can. | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
Sadly, I suspect it will not be the full amount. | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
Today notices on the doors `ppear to show the property's landlord had | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
taken back posession and forfeited the lease. | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
Although I have never been to the attraction, | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
it has obviously not been publicised enough and peopld | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
It is quite important for the area, something like this, | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
but obviously not enough people have been coming. | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
I think it was good value for money but I do not think they bro`dcast it | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
enough and told people about it enough. | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
The attraction slashed tickdt prices and 2007, with bosses blaming | :01:47. | :01:48. | |

Now a look at the weather - here's Sara Thornton. | :03:28. | :03:36. | |
We have had some lovely sunshine today but still of a nip in the air | :03:37. | :03:45. | |
That persists into the new working week and that brings cloud `s well. | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
It will generally be dry for most of the week, which is good news | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
And a change in wind directhon means from the middle of the week it | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
Through tonight and into tolorrow we have cloud and some rain | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
pushing in from the south, that really amounts to almost | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
nothing, largely, but it keeps temperatures up, | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
8-10C to start tomorrow, but a fairly gloomy start and cloudy | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
As the day wears on the clotd thins a bit and we may see some | :04:15. | :04:22. | |
brightness coming through, but with the north-easterly wind | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
As I say, something milder for the middle of the week | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
because an area of high pressure builds from the south-west `nd that | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
changes the wind direction to a south-westerly | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
Wednesday is perhaps up to 15 Celsius. | :04:35. | :04:43. | |

Join us the Breakfast team from around 6.30 tomorrow morning. | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
So far this month most of the rain has been near Eastern coasts. That's | :04:59. | :05:16. | |
changing quite dramatically. All of this cloud coming in from the south | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
and this rain band moving across the channel into southern parts of | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
England right now. The rain is easing off in the south-east of | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
England. The main focus will be for the south-west of England where | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
there could be heavy bursts of rain in Devon and Cornwall. With the | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
shield of cloud pushing into Wales, the Midlands and the southern half | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
of the UK, but it isn't as cold night. Different story further | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
north, breaks in the cloud allowing for a touch of frost and pockets of | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
mist and fog. Northern areas will see spells of sunshine in the | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
morning. Some showers, but not as many as recently. The Midlands and | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
the south, more cloud, | :05:57. | :05:57. |
