Jessops stores eight months on, Scottish stamp duty scrapped, heatwave winners

Consumer news with Julian Worricker. Six months after Jessops closed, what has happened to the 187 stores? Plus, disabled people turning to credit to fund their care.

Exclusive research by You & Yours reveals what's happened to the 187 Jessops stores that closed earlier this year. We hear from new lease holders who've opened up in their place and look at the stores that are still vacant.

Disabled people are turning in desperation to high-cost loans and sometimes illegal lenders to pay bills and make ends meet. Stamp duty in Scotland is being replaced by a new land tax after the Scottish Parliament take control of more of their state finances.

The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ has confirmed it will stop broadcasting in 3D after a 2 year project with the format flopped - what about those with 3D TV's? We hear from the O'Boyle family after their weekend at the Latitude Festival in Sussex.

Presenter: Julian Worricker
