These are your headlines for the North West.
00:02
A Blackpool food bank has closed due to lack of donations.
00:06
Based on Foxhall Road, Blackpool Voice have announced they are closing their food bank
00:12
service to the general public as they are so low on stock. Their service offers a lifeline for some
00:18
of the resort's most vulnerable people. They say they will continue to help those in a current crisis.
00:26
Police have seized four bikes as they investigate claims of damage to protected land.
00:31
The bikes were seized for a range of offences including no insurance and disqualified driving.
00:38
One bike is also suspected to have been stolen. Working in partnership with United Utilities,
00:45
police say the damage at a protected site in Rivington costs millions of pounds and affects
00:50
the ecosystem which will take years to recover. Junior doctors have been on strike this weekend
00:57
across Lancashire and South Cumbria and the industrial action is set to continue.
01:02
Services across the region's hospitals are facing increased waiting times.
01:08
Some appointments are likely to be rescheduled. Members of the BMA began their walkout on
01:15
Saturday morning and will remain on strike until 11.59pm on Wednesday.
01:21
Baseball bat-wielding youths have wreaked havoc in Nelson over the weekend. Police were called to
01:27
a scene of violent disorder on Saturday evening as gangs of youths wielded weapons around Sagar
01:33
Street and Broadway. A Section 60 order was put in place giving officers the power to search people
01:41
for weapons without needing their usual grounds to suspect. Extra officers remained on patrol in
01:47
the Nelson town centre area on Sunday. Police in Wigan have seized another car as they continue
01:54
their efforts to tackle vehicle crime. Last week officers seized a car and a motorbike that they
02:01
suspected had been used in an anti-social way. Now they have seized another car which had an
02:07
uninsured driver at the wheel in Abram. The driver had ignored previous advice and was displayed a
02:14
fraudulent registration plate as well as driving with no insurance. Now the weather, a largely dry
02:22
and sunny day but rather chilly. Tonight will be dry with clear skies and a widespread frost.
02:28
Tomorrow is looking more cloudy with strengthening winds later on.
02:34
on.
