On Look East tonight: At first it appeared to be a tragic accident | :00:06. | :00:09. | |
but now detectives are treating the death of this driver as | :00:09. | :00:17. | |
manslaughter. This is a very serious crime that has caused the | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
loss of life of this woman. She started her journey up unaware she | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
had damaged a tired. Because her her life. | :00:28. | :00:32. | |

celebrations for the region's Hello, good evening. Services for | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
the elderly and vulnerable in Northampton are putting increasing | :08:29. | :08:37. | |
pressure on budgets at a time when extra savings are needed. An | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
independent audit report commissioned by the council has | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
concluded that the savings are unsustainable. So far the council | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
has already taken �150 million out of its budget by finding savings | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
and expects to have to find another �27 million of savings from next | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
year's budget. In total, another �120 million needs to be found over | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
the next four years. However, the chief executive of the council | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
insists services for the vulnerable remain a top priority. | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
What you have to do is look for initiative solutions. We have been | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
making sure we have people who need help. We are asking for people who | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
can help themselves, how can they play a greater role in society? How | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
can they help the council provide services in a different way? | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
One of the agencies used by the council to provide services is Age | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
UK Northamptonshire. Last year, their funding from the council was | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
nearly �700,000, but this year that funding was cut to just under | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
�440,000. That compares to more than �1 million five years ago. | :09:42. | :09:51. | |
They say they are having to help more people with less funding. | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
If we remove the services that we provide to older people, we will | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
find those people landing up in hospital beds and in nursing homes, | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
which will be financial madness. The details of the auditors' report | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
will be discussed by county councillors tomorrow, but it is not | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
until the Autumn Spending Review that the council will know just how | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
much of a saving it needs to make. A planning inspector has today | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
heard the arguments for and against a free school which opened without | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
planning approval. 200 pupils began at Bedford Free School two weeks | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
ago, despite the site being rejected on traffic grounds. The | :10:26. | :10:34. | |
inspector will decide what happens next. | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
A school at under scrutiny. The children do not put a step wrong | :10:40. | :10:48. | |
but, at least not when they come into school. I walk or cycle. | :10:48. | :10:57. | |
it difficult to get to the school? No. We all know that parents will | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
be parking beside it soon. Do you think it will cause trouble? More | :11:03. | :11:10. | |
than likely, yes. What school doesn't? A in June, the council | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
first rejected their plans, saying it would cause too much disruption. | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
In August, are a fresh application was made but that was rejected. The | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
school said it would appeal. Two weeks ago, Bedford Free School | :11:24. | :11:31. | |
opened with nearly 200 pupils. Taking the wider community, the | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
borough, this will only cause great congestion and further the time and | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
the delays to get through town and in to town in the mornings and at | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
the end of the afternoon. Now it is out of the hands of politicians and | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
with inspectors, we are confident when they announced the decision, | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
it will go minor quake. Accounts will have threatened to take | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
enforcement action next week which will close -- forced the school at | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
into temporary accommodation on the other side of the road. They have | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
worked hard to get us in the school. Now there is a big argument. | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
planning inspector says the decision will be made of one issue | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
of how one issue alone, the impact on traffic. He watched the road | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
outside this morning and will make an official visit later today. His | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
decision is not expected for a few weeks. | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
Police divers have been searching a river in Cambridge in connection | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
with the death of 76-year-old Llwelyn Thomas. Divers have been in | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
the river at Grassy Corner in Fen Ditton today. Mr Thomas was found | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
dead at his home in Chittering in December. Two men who were arrested | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
are on bail. Bedfordshire Police say they | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
believe a medieval jug stolen from a Luton museum in May has been | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
recovered. Two people have been arrested. The Wenlok jug was taken | :12:49. | :12:57. | |
from a high-security cabinet at the Stockwood Discovery Centre in Luton. | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
A bus route in Milton Keynes will be the first in the country to use | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
a state-of-the-art self-charging electric bus. It's a five year | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
trial which aims to reduce emissions and noise.$$NEWLINE | :13:05. | :13:15. | |

It looks like a regular bus but the technology is cutting edge. It is | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
possible to charge this bus on its route. Milton Keynes has been | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
chosen as the place to trial it. Eight of these buses will be | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
driving on the street and today many factors, designers, the bus | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
company and the council met to seal the five year deal. We were one of | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
the first places in the country to start installing electric charging | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
posts for ordinary cars, electric cars. This particular project moves | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
that forward. The standard customer who uses the route will not know, | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
apart from a quite a journey to work. They will see a new work bus | :13:55. | :14:05. | |
:14:05. | :14:07. | ||
and a quieter bars. Each bus will save around 500 tons of Co2 being | :14:07. | :14:15. | |
pumped into the atmosphere each year. It will also save on fuel. In | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
just one year, the buses will be on the road so keep your eyes peeled | :14:20. | :14:28. | |
because you will not be able to hear them. Football, it is a big | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
night for MK Dons in the capital one cup. Karl Robinson's side | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
entertain Premier League side Sunderland in the third-round tie. | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
Dons, who will be looking to reach the last 16 of the competition, | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
knocked out Championship side Blackpool in the last round. Full | :14:40. | :14:43. | |

A giant statue of Olympic medal winner Louis Smith beside the East | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
Coast railway line could soon become a reality. A farmer has | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
offered a piece of land beside the line in Cambridgeshireto allow an | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
artist to put up the larger-than- life sculpture of the gymnast. He | :14:55. | :15:04. | |
wants it to be the region's answer to the Angel of the North. | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
Three years ago, Look East saw this artist set out plans for a giant | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
legacy to two Olympic medallist Louis Smith. He needed to win a | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
major competition to secure half a million pounds to realise his | :15:18. | :15:25. | |
ambition. But he lost. He almost gave up hope. Until now. It was an | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
Olympian task to get it done. I was beginning to think we will never | :15:29. | :15:36. | |
see this. Now, through Stephen's intervention, I am now in a | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
position to say it is a possibility we can make this. If he has been | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
busy redesigning the images of the sculpture, taking inspiration from | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
Louis Smith's silver medal winner at the Olympics. Instead of using | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
steel for part of the construction, it will all be made from timber. | :15:54. | :16:04. | |
