Northern Retail, Custom Built Homes, Dementia Adventure

You and Yours

Available for over a year

A new shopping mall opens in Leeds today but is retail offer in northern cities hitting the economies of northern towns? Do we really go to pie shops to buy healthy food? Can a care programme that encourages new adventures help people with dementia? The government is hoping a billion pound loan fund will help attack housing shortages by kick starting custom built homes in the UK. The Property Ombudsman warns estate and letting agents they could face bigger fines if they're caught misbehaving. Class Actions- where one person sues on behalf of a much larger group - didn't used to happen here in the UK but they do now as a group of pensioners takes a mobility scooter business to court.
