points and their mood is considerably

:00:00.:00:13.

For the first time in five years, Norfolk County Council is

:00:14.:00:21.

considering raising council taxes to meet a massive shortfall

:00:22.:00:23.

The deficit has more than trebled to ?17.5 million,

:00:24.:00:27.

Today the leader of the Conservative group voiced

:00:28.:00:30.

The lights must have days as they wrestled with the deficit at County

:00:31.:01:00.

Hall. Tories had the most councillors but Labour lead the

:01:01.:01:04.

council with a so`called rainbow coalition. So, why the current

:01:05.:01:09.

financial mess? Labour blame a 24% cut in government funding. The

:01:10.:01:12.

government has yet again imposed more duties on local government

:01:13.:01:14.

without giving us the funding. Every county council of a similar sizes

:01:15.:01:18.

making this sort of provision in their estimates for next year. The

:01:19.:01:20.

county council faces increasing pressure, not least on children's

:01:21.:01:23.

and adult social services, which account for four fifths of its

:01:24.:01:27.

spending. To cut back services like libraries or road maintenance

:01:28.:01:31.

wouldn't have much impact. It means council tax rises are a very real

:01:32.:01:35.

option. One makes assumptions that you are paying the money so you will

:01:36.:01:39.

get your garbage collected and they will amend the roads. The council

:01:40.:01:44.

has a huge amount of wastage and rather than keeping piling it on to

:01:45.:01:49.

the general public, they could do it inside themselves. It will be quite

:01:50.:01:53.

difficult for me to afford a rise in council tax. Norfolk is by no means

:01:54.:01:59.

alone. County councils across the region faces similar predicament.

:02:00.:02:02.

The question is how to solve it. As the leader has acknowledged here,

:02:03.:02:07.

the rise in council taxes they be the only option.

:02:08.:02:10.

Police investigating the death of a 61`year`old man following a fight

:02:11.:02:12.

in Northampton have issued a photo of a man they want to talk to.

:02:13.:02:16.

Detectives believe this man may have tried to act as a peacemaker.

:02:17.:02:19.

George Wedderburn also intervened in the fight last Sunday

:02:20.:02:21.

An elderly woman's in a critical condition after being run over by a

:02:22.:02:28.

It happened on Sutton Road yesterday afternoon.

:02:29.:02:32.

The 77`year`old pedestrian was airlifted to the

:02:33.:02:35.

In the past hour, a 43`year`old man from Romania has been charged with

:02:36.:02:49.

careless driving. In the football today:

:02:50.:03:05.

Peterborough are top of league one tonight. They beat Colchester.

:03:06.:03:26.

The result of the day in league two for Cambridge United:

:03:27.:03:46.

Good evening. We continue with a dry outlook for the rest of today and

:03:47.:03:52.

into tonight. There are one or two showers around that most of us

:03:53.:03:56.

should not see those. Tonight, some clear spells with temperatures down

:03:57.:04:01.

to 11 or 12 Celsius. Tomorrow is not looking too bad. It might be a

:04:02.:04:04.

little cloudy and we will not see the much in the way of sunshine but

:04:05.:04:09.

still quite bright. Medium to high level cloud which keeps the sun from

:04:10.:04:13.

poking through. Temperatures will reach 19 or 20 degrees along the

:04:14.:04:19.

coast. Certainly, feeling more pleasant with lighter winds for

:04:20.:04:23.

tomorrow. As we head into the beginning of next week, Monday and

:04:24.:04:26.

Tuesday are a little bit as appointing. We have the remnants of

:04:27.:04:30.

a front giving a small cloud but also perhaps some drizzly rain on

:04:31.:04:33.

higher ground. But from Wednesday onwards, it should become more

:04:34.:04:35.

settled and warmer.
