Stoke-on-Trent tops list of empty high street shops...Police stop and search powers...City Council budget proposals

Catch up on the day's news and sport, plus great music.

Burslem and Hanley top a list detailing the highest rates of empty shops in the country, with Stoke also making the "top ten". Virtually one-in-three shops in Hanley and Burslem lie empty - hear from the business owners in Burslem who are making the most of it!

Staffordshire's Police and Crime Commissioner, Matthew Ellis joins Tim to discuss the use of 'stop and search' powers by the force, and his plans to make wider use of body cameras to record police interactions with the public.

We'll also reveal the latest on Stoke-on-Trent City Council's proposals for budget cuts in the next financial year - public toilets, crossing patrols, meals-on-wheels and mental health provision for young adults have all been saved from the cuts - for the time being.
