Good evening. tonight on BBC1 at 10.10

:00:14.:00:13.

There's a warning from Devon and Cornwall's Police and

:00:14.:00:16.

Crime Commissioner that the force could "go bust" unless

:00:17.:00:18.

Tony Hogg says the constabulary must find new ways

:00:19.:00:21.

And he's also calling for more volunteer effort to help

:00:22.:00:25.

Like all local public services, Devon and Cornwall Police are under

:00:26.:00:30.

They are already considering closing some front desk enquiry offices

:00:31.:00:33.

and are investigating sharing resources with neighbouring Dorset.

:00:34.:00:39.

But further savings still need to be found.

:00:40.:00:42.

And in an article to mark the halfway

:00:43.:00:44.

point in his term of office, Devon and Cornwall's Police and Crime

:00:45.:00:47.

We have got to find a furthdr ? 4.1 million's worth of efficiencies

:00:48.:01:11.

That is to seek to balance the budget.

:01:12.:01:15.

That is where we need to get to, we need to be spending the same

:01:16.:01:19.

That is a big challenge for us but it is one Tony Hogg is

:01:20.:01:24.

With the number of police officers in Devon expected to fall to just

:01:25.:01:28.

over 3,000 in the next four years, the Commissioner has also called

:01:29.:01:31.

for volunteers to play a grdater role in keeping the streets safe.

:01:32.:01:37.

He says he can envisage local communities clubbing togethdr to pay

:01:38.:01:39.

for items such as speed limit signs and evdn

:01:40.:01:44.

The Home Office has said the police have had

:01:45.:01:47.

a challenging funding settlement but the reform is working.

:01:48.:01:54.

The Environment Agency has told the BBC its dredging operation

:01:55.:01:58.

on the Somerset Levels is p`st the halfway mark.

:01:59.:02:01.

It brings reassurance for flood victims, but many worry how dredging

:02:02.:02:04.

Millions of tonnes of good darth are being excavated from the riverbed.

:02:05.:02:12.

On the Levels, they have bedn digging up rivers for years.

:02:13.:02:16.

But major dredging stopped in the mid`'60s.

:02:17.:02:18.

After two years of serious floods, the dredgers are back.

:02:19.:02:26.

The likes of David Broster, shifting 700 tonnes of silt

:02:27.:02:28.

When they said we were coming here to dredge this, you know,

:02:29.:02:35.

I am proud to be helping the community.

:02:36.:02:42.

The Environment Agency says dredging of an 8km stretch of river

:02:43.:02:45.

80,000 tonnes of silt has bden dug up and spread in nearby fields,

:02:46.:02:54.

a ?6 million operation demanded by flood victims.

:02:55.:02:56.

It is absolutely marvellous to see it.

:02:57.:02:58.

We have had 20 years of neglect and to see this silt coming out

:02:59.:03:01.

of this river, I am enjoying every bucket that is coming out.

:03:02.:03:07.

The dredgers are using comptters to return the river to

:03:08.:03:09.

Maintaining the river will cost ?100,000 a year, according to

:03:10.:03:16.

No`one's sure yet whether the money will come from.

:03:17.:03:24.

Celebrations have been taking place today to mark
