Bedroom factories, ATOS, ebooks from the library

You and Yours

Available for over a year

14,000 new hotel rooms will be added to the UK hotel industry this year, in addition to 18,000 last year. It's being called a 'bedroom factory'. What is it doing to hoteliers and holiday makers? We're live in Blackpool. A disabled man who experienced weeks of distress, pain and fatigue after being forced to attend an inaccessible assessment centre by the government's "fitness for work" contractor Atos Healthcare, has secured compensation from the company. How are libraries loaning readers Ebooks? The government is desperate for economic growth to avoid a triple dip recession. We look through an accountant's eyes in Hexham to see if growth is possible and how the government could help.
