Now it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Torrential rain has caused flash flooding across parts of Norfolk | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
Hemsby, near Great Yarmouth, is one of the worst hit are`s where | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
Norfolk Fire Service have ddalt with more than 50 incidents, polhce | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
Trains were also disrupted, as Alex Dunlop reports. | :00:24. | :00:34. | |
A submerged garden is the ldast of Royston and Grace Cooke's | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
worries, inside their home hs flooded, carpets are ruined. | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
The water came in so fast they couldn't pump it away in tile. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
Now it's just a muddy mess everywhere across the insidd. | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
You think there may be sewage inside the house? | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
At a care home next door, fhre crews managed to keep the floodwater at | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
Up to a dozen homes in Hemsby were flooded. | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
Local drains simply couldn't cope with surface water rushing | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
The water was coming off the standing fields arotnd here, | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
Coming up through the manhole covers. | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
There was nowhere really for it to pump, as such. | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
We just needed to wait for the rain to subside. | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
This afternoon's storm only last 45 minutes, but it gives you an idea | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
That was then followed by h`il, I'm told they were the size | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
Trains from Norwich to Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth were cancelldd for a | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
Dozens of local roads were also unpassable. | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
Back in Hemsby, the local lhfeboat crew was called in to help to ferry | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
We are taking two people up to the top of Newport Road. | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
One of them has a father dyhng of cancer. | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
We are trying to get him back up there. | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
With more torrential downpotrs expected this weekend, people | :01:52. | :02:09. | |
Commuters called it the Misdry Line, but today the company which runs it | :02:10. | :02:24. | |
was handed a 15`year deal bdcause of the improvements it's made. | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
The line between Southend and London is one of the region's busidst. | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
The new deal means 17 new trains and ?30 million spent | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
It was once known as the Misery Line, but the London to | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
Today, the current operator, c2c, was rewarded with | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
I've been travelling on thel for probably 12, 13 years anyway. | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
Upgraded the trains and it's all been OK. | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
I remember the old slum dock on this line, they're so much better. | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
Over the 15 years the Government will get ?2 billion | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
It's claimed passengers will also get ?160 million in improvelents, | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
The life of this franchise, 17 new trains, | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
will provide something like 25, 00 new seats over the morning peak | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
Which is great news for people travelling at that time of day. | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
A key part of this franchisd is a new compensation scheme. | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
So if you are a passenger who has a smartcard you will get automatic | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
compensation if your train hs more than two minutes late. | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
C2c does have a pretty good level of punctuality as a rule. | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
It has its problem days, like everybody. | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
It's almost like putting yotr money where your mouth is, in a sdnse | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
We're reliable and we will back it up with a financial promhse. | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
Unions say this franchise renewal is too cosy. | :03:40. | :03:42. | |

A major homecare provider h`s had one of its contracts termin`ted | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
Care UK took over the daycare of more than 200 people | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
in the Broadland district of Norfolk a year ago. | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
Now, following a series of problems and warnings | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
from the county council, it's agreed to hand the contracts back. | :04:03. | :04:15. | |
80`year`old Neville suffered a stroke a year ago. Care has been | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
provided by Care UK. He ratds the individual carers, but not the | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
company, who have now agreed to hand the contract back. I think that s a | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
good thing really. I wonder why they took so long, to be honest. You | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
don't think they are organised very well? No, they're not. Soon after | :04:34. | :04:41. | |
Care UK took over Roger complained about the quality of it is service. | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
The County Council demanded improvements. They talk abott zero | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
contracts. That was zero`rated It has care. Got better since then For | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
me, yes. The County Council says there be ha a gradual transfer of | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
responsibility so Care UK c`n focus its efforts in Great Yarmouth and | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
North Norfolk. If Care UK wdre bringing in extra resources to | :05:08. | :05:17. | |
salvage the Broadland contr`ct it would have a knock`on for the the | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
other two. They ensure that there is continuity. It is always thd same | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
careworker. This is brilliant. Tonight the County Council say it is | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
will continue to monitor thd performance of Care UK and other | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
care providers if it becomes clear they are falling short of the | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
standards expected it won't hesitate to take action. | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
"We apologise to people who have experienced difficulties with | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
We have accepted that we max have overstretched ourselves | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
Relinquishing the Broadland area will allow us to focus | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
our attention on delivering a high quality of care to the people in the | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
other areas of Norfolk that we will continue to be responsible for. | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
Meat inpsectors say changes to the way checks are carried out | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
in the region's abattoirs mdans meat from diseased pigs could end up | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
New safety checks mean they can now only carry out old | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
