Hello, my name is Sharon Jones and these are the latest headlines from our newsrooms across
00:04
the North West.

The body of a 25-year-old man was sadly discovered at a home off Preston's Winkley Square.
00:12
Ambulance crews were called to the home in Birstow Street, next to the city's historic
00:15
square and close to Avonlea Park on Tuesday morning.
00:19
The man was pronounced dead at the scene and paramedics reported his death to the police.

A cocktail bar in Wigan is being turned into a new micro-pub.
00:29
Lady Mabel on Wigan Lane will be rebranded into The Swill House which is opening in November.
00:35
The micro-pub will offer a full and diverse range of real ales, draughts and spirits but
00:39
on a smaller and more intimate scale and it will also undergo an £80,000 refurbishment.
00:47
In other news, a mystery man known only as Mr B from Lancashire has scooped an incredible
00:52
£1 million cash prize in the EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker.
00:57
The lucky winner bagged the enormous prize after the draw was made on Friday July 5th.

The Lancashire local has become one of over 8 million players who win each week on the
01:06
National Lottery's range of games.
01:09
McDonald's has banned groups of under-18s from its Morecambe restaurant after a spate
01:13
of anti-social behaviour.
01:16
The branch in Morecambe Road says no more than two youths will be allowed inside after
01:20
5pm unless they are accompanied by a suitable adult.
01:24
A notice on the entrance says the new rule was put in place due to recent circumstances
01:29
alluding to the problems with unruly teenagers in recent weeks.
01:34
And finally, Ribble Valley Borough Council has started proceedings in the High Court
01:38
against the owners of the Punchbowl Inn in Hurst Green.
