Councils seek to restrict Moors Murderer's remains disposal
Two councils are seeking to restrict where Moors Murderer Ian Brady's remains are disposed of, the BBC understands.
It is understood this will be the basis of a High Court application on Friday by Oldham and Tameside councils.
Brady, 79, who tortured and killed five children with lover Myra Hindley, buried four of his victims on the moor.
A reporting restriction order was made on Monday in the Chancery Division of the High Court, banning the publishing or broadcasting of the location of Brady's remains or any information related to their disposal.
This lasts until seven days after the final disposal of Brady's remains.
Hospital 'bed-blocking' rates 'unacceptable'
Trafford, Tameside and Stockport are amongst the worst area in England for the delayed discharge of hospital patients , BBC research shows.
Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council has the second worst rate for delays behind Cumbria County Council with Tameside and Stockport fourth and fifth in England according to the figures.
Delayed transfers occur when a patient is deemed medically well enough to be released from hospital, but something else holds up their discharge.
