As they just wouldn't be the same without them let's let's put it that way B.B.C. Radio. Now a year ago this weekend the world town of new ferry was rocked by huge blast destroying a number of buildings and injuring more than 30 people now as the community still tries to get back to some kind of normality businesses in the area a calling for support of more on this in a 2nd and St Helens morning to you you are known the world over for your glass making so there's little surprise that the town has been chosen as a key location for a 50000000 pound project bringing industry and academia together it's called Glass futures even though over the years the industry has has wound down a little if you like it can still be a real important who will tell you more later on and it's national poppy day what a better way to celebrate than to volunteer to be a puppy Walker for the charity for the guide dog charity vital role this not just giving the dog a little bit of exercise but we'll find out more before right and I think the pope is a complete As well I think I've still got some little plastic bags kicking around in the cold so we'll let you know more about that a little later on but it's you this morning we're going to start with new ferry a call is being made to support businesses in new ferry this some day will mark one year since a massive explosion. Well this is literally tore the community apart a minute it really did but tomorrow is a chance for you to support local businesses there as Mark Craig from the local residents' association and Councillor Warren ward the originals to what people from across Missouri saw just a pop in just to go to the old town and just do a little bit of shopping we need people to constantly ferry to spend their pounds and it is only fitting that I can say to residents today is that if you want to genuinely Concha be in the fire if you want sir recognise the situation call in to the town see the town center spend your pound in local business and support a local trader while on the phone now is Sue Evans she's a manager of Baxter's butches in new ferry Montes So the anniversary of this explosion is is there some day as this year what's it been like for you as it just flown over or is it drag What's the past 12 months been like. It's been OK I mean we leave premises. Down the bottom end of the ferry where the actual explosion while the you know I've been hard on the business is down here. For full well quite dramatically in the struggle. Things getting back to some kind of normality old you think it will never ever be the same and know this there's a lot of things in limbo at the moment is not yet there is yet. Another said to me where we're all just waiting to see what happens and hopefully it well it will get back up to how it used to pay. And what about business you say you've you've moved premises What's business been like fear and it's been OK I mean it was really hard to begin with believe me so a big apartment is only a question from where we were able. And we've been able to expand our range and we're on its website Kate you're in a lot now which has helped a lot. There look a bit reliant on the passenger train would be really really hard and this is what council ward was talking about. Trying to encourage people from not just maybe pulled some lights or a Wallasey of whatever but people from from all over messy sides past even if you. You know pine cement or whatever just to try and try and boost it a little bit yeah I mean we've always when people just to come down an awful lot can even just pop in and have a chapel not you know we'd welcome anybody what would you like to see happen in new ferry investment wise of course I will obviously we'd like the government of that and just help. Regenerate the area rarely but that's what we need. I mean I think that down at the bottom where the explosion was this will cause. Damaged buildings and we just need to work it out really just is a case of a little bit and when you speak to the business owners as well what kind of conversations do you have say pretty much to say. I mean we're all live in and how can I hope that something will come and then we can get back home for the normal are fake. Thanks for talking to hopefully you will get yourself some. Some some football and maybe business will not only for you but for some of the other people in your area so good to talk to you thank you very much indeed there's a Sue Evans one of the business owners. Knew Ferrie and of course. We'll have more details for you about the future of the ferry what's going to happen what hasn't happened will be looking back at the past 12 months as well as the the anniversary of the explosion is on Sunday so Monday's program will have a reporter there will be dipping in and out of new very through the morning as well so hopefully we'll be able to we're. Just find some kind of some kind of future really and what's going to happen with the government as well and there's been lots of criticism for the government on the situation with that with the ferry too so we'll leave that till Monday we'll talk some more then merely in the morning B.B.C. Radio interview sound. Now a new advertising campaign is being launched by the government Phil Cooper touched on this briefly in the news there and the idea is to try and tackle the growing problem of knife crime the adverts are going to be on social media younger people who tend to carry blades. With them social media is the thing you know Facebook Twitter snap chat all of that is where they spend a lot of their lives so this is why this campaign is being targeted there and some of the kids ages who have been targeted with this campaign as young as 10 and what it does it features real people who've managed to turn their lives around let's listen to one of the ads. That people and they were carrying I. When I was around them and protect it. With my friends we saw. Stab in. The floor. I was affected very deep. That I couldn't talk to anyone in me me realize I would never. So the very very poignant very stark those those are official figures show police in England and Wales recorded more than 37037000 offenses involving knives or a sharp instruments of some kind this was in the year to September that's a 21 percent rise compared with the previous 12 months now as well as the online adverse lobby posters that are going to be put up in cities where knife crime is a problem there's a website that's also been set up as well to provide advice and suggests a port service is a key Mandela as a teacher he's a community worker from Manchester he says these kind of initiatives they can help particularly when we hear the real life stories of people you saw should be. Should be. Make a difference and could allow them to think differently about their actions now I'm sure many of us will remember back in 2816 year old Ben can sell or was stabbed to death in north London in an unprovoked attack by a group of teenagers now the band can sell a trust that was set up in his memory and the idea was to raise awareness about knife crime among young people Patrick Green is from the charity he says he really welcomes the new campaign but more work needs to be done to reduce knife crime services have been really heavily cut over the last treat for years and young people that we work with every day you know talk about you know there's not a great deal to they drift into negative behaviors and I think that's what we need to start looking at reinvesting to help tackle this problem the government will minister say they hope any young person who's thinking about carrying a knife here. Or see the new ads and and consider what the implications can be and choices that they make because as well so that's going to be in the News of the day across the B.B.C. As well the really powerful those at it's 60 minutes past 7 Good morning. There's news headlines this morning the government is launching an online advertising campaign targeted at children as young as 10 who might consider carrying a knife him as he saw as police and crime commissioner claims officers are leaving the job because of increasing pressures while sickness levels in the force are also on the rise and academic staff at the University of Liverpool are threatening industrial action if compulsory redundancies are imposed the university has revealed it wants to cut 220 jobs in sport Ronald coom and remember him he says Evans Jordan Pickford should be England's number one of the World Cup this summer I think he's playing is me is it like the game it's a friendly probably won't watch anyway bought let's let's hope Jordan picked for those well he's certainly in the running to to go to Russia for the World Cup this year New Zealand have moved 122-2944 in the 1st Test against England Ray Thankfully for England as playing.
