Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight. | :00:05. | :00:08. | |
Claims that metal prices have turned parts of North Lincolnshire | :00:08. | :00:15. | |
into one of the worst areas in the country for cable theft. You hear | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
it on the news all the time. People do not see the dangers and just see | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
the money. After the protests against the changes there's fresh | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
criticism of the government's new system of supporting poor | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
students.As the future of two RAF bases was secured businesses | :00:28. | :00:31. | |

showers and thunderstorms. There are more tomorrow. We will have the | :00:48. | :00:58. | |

Villages in North Lincolnshire are being targeted by thieves stealing | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
copper phone cables. Many homes have been without regularly working | :01:02. | :01:12. | |
:01:12. | :01:12. | ||
landlines for weeks. The increase in the theft of cables has | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
coincided with the rise in the price of copper. In 2001 it cost | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
�240 per tonne. By 2006 it had more than trebled to eight hundred | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
pounds. And earlier this year the price peaked at fifteen hundred | :01:24. | :01:34. | |
:01:34. | :01:37. | ||
pounds per tonne. Tarah Welsh has No, it is not on Five days without | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
her phone. And it's not the first time. Copper has been stolen from | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
phone lines here three times this month. For further information. We | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
cannot do that because we do not have a telephone line. Someone | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
comes in and greens the Post Office. They cannot come, because it comes | :02:01. | :02:10. | |
off the BT line. We are without our pension. It is three weeks that | :02:10. | :02:17. | |
this has hit. Hundreds of people have been affected in Alkborough. | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
And in Horsham businesses suffered when the lines were cut twice. | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
card machine stopped working, and this is paramount because many | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
people It's not phone lines that have been affected. Railways cables | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
are often stolen. And church rooves target, even last night �2000 worth | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
of lead was stolen from the Doddington Hall near Lincoln. | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
you can see, scrap metal is a lucrative business. But there's no | :02:44. | :02:54. | |
:02:54. | :02:59. | ||
copper cable is there. Traders like this one now ask for a photo ID. | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
you bring it in burnt, it is twined. That is how all you can recognise | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
burnt Telecom's cable. The police have to step up their patrols, and | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
the public has to be more vigilant. But most of time the theives are | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
long gone leaving residents inconvienced, cables have been | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
stolen from Thorne 17 times - leaving this couple without a phone | :03:21. | :03:31. | |
:03:31. | :03:41. | ||
for 6 weeks. But as metal prices continue to rise, the temptation to | :03:41. | :03:51. | |
:03:51. | :03:53. | ||
steal is still there for a few Tarah Welsh is in Alkborough | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
tonight. Tarah, when repairs are done, what's to stop thieves just | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
taking the copper cables again? you can see, I am in an isolated | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
location. When the thieves come a long, they are quite difficult to | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
spot. This area has been targeted three times already. What they are | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
doing is that they are lifting of these manhole covers and lifting | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
the copper cables underneath. It is costing BT millions of pounds every | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
year. They are trying to secured these. What they are also doing | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
these are rolling out fibre-optic cables to replace copper ones, | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
because they are not as by -- valuable. They are 5 million miles | :04:32. | :04:40. | |
of cable to replace. It is going to cost money. Ian Hetherington | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
represents scrapyards all over the country. How big a problem is | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
people stealing metal to sell? Metal theft is a problem throughout | :04:49. | :04:58. | |
the UK. It tends to majorly inconvenience committees as well as | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
businesses. That is because scrap metal prices are very high at the | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
moment? Scrap-metal prices are high, and has grown over the last five | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
years. Also, I suspect, anecdotally the recession has hit people hard, | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
and inquisitive crime has grown as a consequence. How could you tell | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
us the scrap-metal someone is trying to sell you is there's | :05:22. | :05:30. | |
always stolen? At the point of processing, it is really difficult. | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
In the early stages after a theft, it is easier. They are usually | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
indicate is as to how to determine whether the metal is stolen or not, | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
but once it has been through one set of hands, it becomes incredibly | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
difficult. What are the penalties that your man so far for selling | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
stolen goods? The penalties are rigorous. They can lead to | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
imprisonment or certainly very serious fines. Sir the confiscation | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
of property. It is not something to be taken lightly. What do you think | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
about those people who have committed crimes? They deserve | :06:14. | :06:23. | |
everything that they get. It is a major problem. They provide unfair | :06:23. | :06:30. | |
competition for legitimate trade. Thank you very much. I would like | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
to know what you think about this. What more can be done to stop the | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
theft of cables and metal at the moment? You might have a view on | :06:39. | :06:49. | |
:06:49. | :07:03. | ||
In a moment... Find out what prompted this performance in | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
Mablethorpe. An East Yorkshire MP has criticised the Government for | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
the way it's introduced a new bursary scheme to help the poorest | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
teenagers stay in education. The government says it's come up with | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
an adequate alternative to the former Education maintenance | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
allowance. But Graham Stuart, the MP for Beverley and Holderness, | :07:17. | :07:27. | |
:07:27. | :07:38. | ||
says the changes have been rushed It sparked a wave of protest. The | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
scrapping of the cash given to stop students dropping out has left many | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
worried. It's meant to be replaced by a bursary-but some schools and | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
parents still don't know how much money they're getting. We talk | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
about fuel poverty, but we should have a new term, we should have a | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
school poverty. There will be families out there, perhaps | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
families I know, who are going to have to disappoint their 16-year- | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
olds. They say I have to feed you, I have to close to, we have to have | :08:06. | :08:16. | |
:08:16. | :08:19. | ||
heating and light here. We need to let our children go to school. EMA | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
is for 16-18 year olds. With students from the poorest | :08:21. | :08:29. | |
backgrounds getting �30 a week to help them stay in education. | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
government says its new scheme will still deliver cash where its needed | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
most, but the pot of money available's been cut by 70 per cent. | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
A report today says the reforms were rushed and students have | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
suffered. It wasn't fully thought through. The amount that was going | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
to be allowed in bursary changed. Young people were given too little | :08:45. | :08:52. | |
information too late. In Grimsby, 17-year-old Gareth relied on EMA to | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
pay for books and travel. He thinks the new system is too confusing: | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
EMA is a simple scheme. People knew the rules. But now it is too | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
confusing. And while application numbers at Hull College are up for | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
this this September - they've had to work hard to find news ways to | :09:14. | :09:24. | |
:09:24. | :09:27. | ||
By the end of the academic year, the EMA comes to an end. And while | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
MPs agree change was needed - many are far from happy with its | :09:30. | :09:37. | |
replacement. Graham Stuart is the chair of the Education Select | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
Committee. Mr Stuart, Many colleges still don't know how much money | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
they can give out instead of the Education Maintenance Allowance, | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
why is that? Because the decision has been made by the government to | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
delegate responsibility for the allocations to colleges, and they | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
made the decision made to do that and made the allocation so late | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
that night that colleges nor the students who were going to apply | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
there were able to know in advance what the situation would be. | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
your government had made the mistake so that people no idea | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
whether they could afford to study. Or can be done without? The door | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
has been cast. Now what we are asking is for heads and principles | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
of colleges to be creative and look at the best way to support students. | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
In my constituency, transport is absolutely critical. We need to | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
make sure the support is in place. We are seeing support from colleges | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
to make sure the people get to college. People cannot get there | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
and so they have little tosser don't well with their studies. | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
have mentioned one area, but it is going to affect those families who | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
are not so well off, in such places as Hull and Grimsby. Yes, it is -- | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
they would have been aimed production no matter who had been | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
in power. Labour were going to review it. We decided as a cross- | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
party group of MPs that it should not -- that it was not handled as | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
well as the should have been. your critical of your government. | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
What difference does that make? will make precious little | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
difference to those who have suffered this year. Hopefully, it | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
will mean that changes in future will be more considered, and | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
therefore will have less negative impact on students to be or what | :11:30. | :11:40. | |

Seiden well at college. They grow Customs officers investigating the | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
manufacture and sale of illegal vodka in Lincolnshire say they | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
believe the practice may be widespread. The warning comes as | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
five shops in Boston have had their licences revoked for selling | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
smuggled and counterfeit alcohol. It's nearly a week since five men | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
died in the town following an explosion at an illegal vodka | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
factory. Five out of six licences revoked sends a message, but with | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
trading standards and police, they will try to get a grip of it. | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
are celebrations today after the jobs of Lincolnshire servicemen and | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
women have been safeguarded at 2 military bases. The defence | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
secretary, Liam Fox yesterday announced that RAF Cottesmore near | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
Stamford will become home to the army while RAF Marham in Norfolk | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
has had its future secured. Amanda Thomson reports. The last Harrier | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
jump jet flew from RAF Cottesmore near Stamford last December and | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
with all RAF personnel following suit by next March the future | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
looked bleak. But yesterday the Defence Secretary Liam Fox | :12:31. | :12:41. | |
:12:41. | :12:44. | ||
announced that RAF Cottesmore will become home to the army. At least | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
it will give jobs to somebody, won't it? We have lost a lot of | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
income from the base. Hopefully we will regain some money on it comes | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
back. Better than going to waste! In will help the local a four -- | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
economy somewhat. While the Army's plans have saved Cottesmore, it was | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
the economic argument that has saved RAF Marham near Kings Lynn. | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
More than 5,000 jobs have been saved here. News the Tornado is | :13:11. | :13:15. | |

It is embedded in our Committee, the business we do with them. 10 % | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
of our business is with Marham. do a lot of business with Moran, | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
the different squadrons. It is good news to hear. Young chaps on their | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
own, sometimes two or three of them, joining together from a mental | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
perspective. Absolutely crucial. The familiar Tornados then remain | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
part of North Norfolk life while Stamford looks forward to welcoming | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
military personnel of a different kind. Military jobs in Lincolnshire | :13:46. | :13:54. | |

Did you manage to dodge some showers today or did you get wet? | :14:45. | :14:52. | |
No, I got soaked through. Never mind, you only read it! | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
I only read it? I'm sorry. | :14:58. | :15:05. | |
There have been torrential thunderstorms in places. There is a | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
Met Office severe weather warning. It is valid throughout the evening. | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
Tomorrow the weather will not improve a great deal. Low pressure | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
is never far away and there are further show was developing. There | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
is a risk that some of them will be heavy in places. The satellite | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
picture shows where the cloud is and that is where the heavier | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
showers are. It will fade away to the south through the night. It | :15:34. | :15:44. | |
:15:44. | :15:44. | ||
will turn drier with some clear spells in Lincolnshire. Looking at | :15:44. | :15:54. | |
:15:54. | :15:55. | ||
the sometimes tomorrow... Here are the times of the high water. | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
Tomorrow we will see some brightness developing first thing, | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
particularly in Lincolnshire. Later we will see showers developing and | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
in the afternoon they will start to become heavy and thundery and | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
places. The Met Office morning his valid for tomorrow with a risk of | :16:13. | :16:23. | |
:16:23. | :16:25. | ||
torrential downpours. The temperatures are average for this | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
time of the year. On Thursday we are still looking as Shell was but | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
they should have lost their intensity so there will not be | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
thunderstorms. It will mostly be dry on Friday and Saturday starts | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
bright bubble cloud over. I have never been pounced on so | :16:42. | :16:52. | |
:16:52. | :16:56. | ||
quickly in my life! I am not Tocher, really ex! | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
A butcher from East Yorkshire has taken the radical step of putting | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
huge notices in his shop window, to try to stop malicious rumours about | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
his private life. Brian Fields says when his three children came home | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
asking if he was leaving them and their mother for another man, he | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
says he had to act. Brian Fields runs an award winning | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
family business. So when rumours started circulating he'd left his | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
wife Joanne for a man, he felt he had to retaliate. Together, they've | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
stuck huge notices in the window of the shop in Anlaby near Hull - | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
asking people to stop the malicious gossip. A necessary measure, they | :17:32. | :17:41. | |
say, when their three young children became upset. The rumour | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
had not subsided. It has been going on a fall three months. Once it was | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
affecting my children I felt it was time to correct people and have my | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
say. It is not fair on the children. When one of your daughter's asks | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
for who she will live with if you split up and there is no problem, | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
you feel you are to take a stance. We have to sit them all down and | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
have a tour can tell them mummy and daddy are happy and we are a happy | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
family and so to ignore it if they hear it. Everybody I have spoken to | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
said they have heard it. It is just not nice at all. | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
And today, customers felt the butcher had done the right thing. | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
He has worked all hours God sends to build his business up and now he | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
get somebody like that trying to knock him down. It is very wrong. | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
The you want to make sure people know the fact rather than horrible | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
gossip. I think, as good on him. There is a slur on his character. | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
His reputation is being tented. I think he is doing the right thing. | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
Brian says despite the devastating impact on his family, his business | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
has been unaffected. He suspects jealousy may be the motive for the | :18:49. | :18:57. | |
rumours. Now he's hoping his shop front will put a stop to them. | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
It's a craze that's swept the country and in Lincolnshire today | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
it was used to highlight the dangers of coastal flooding. In the | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
middle of the day and without any warning, 300 school pupils suddenly | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
gathered in Mablethorpe's High Street to perform in front of | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
passers by. The impromptu performance was used to kick start | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
a touring exhibition that aims to raise awareness about the danger | :19:17. | :19:27. | |
:19:27. | :19:29. | ||
and power of the sea. Lincolnshire has a lot to offer, | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
though its coastline has not always been as peaceful as this. Over the | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
years, sea defences have been breached here. In 1953, high tides | :19:39. | :19:46. | |
and stormy weather left 43 people dead. Since then investments and | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
campaigns have reduce the dangers and today, here in Mablethorpe, | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
there has been an unexpected campaign to raise the public | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
awareness further. It came from all directions and gathered momentum | :19:57. | :20:04. | |
and then it if -- quickly disappear. It is all passed -- it is all part | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
of the latest craze, flash mob. A seemingly impromptu performance but | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
one that has been well rehearsed. It was by 300 children whose | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
Mexican wave in Mablethorpe aims to highlight the power was an danger | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
of the save. Her I think we did well at getting the message across. | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
We shop a few people. Are people were asking what we were doing. | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
Most people wondered what was happening but once they saw the | :20:30. | :20:38. | |
demonstration they started getting into it. Flash mob has also been | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
used in good effect in other parts of our area. Esquire recently took | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
shoppers by surprise in Hull. In Mablethorpe today there were plenty | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
of puzzled expressions. wondered what was going on and then | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
realised it was simulating a flood. It has done its job. We have been | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
11 years. It has not happened yet but, like I say, you never know | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
what is going to happen. When the weather is like this you do not | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
think it is something you even have to consider or think about but it | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
needs to be very much part of your life to plan for an event that may | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
or may not happen. The performance was filmed for an exhibition which | :21:20. | :21:26. | |
starts in Lincolnshire on Friday. A modern craze will highlight and alt | :21:26. | :21:33. | |
-- age old problem. A prison garden in East Yorkshire | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
has won a best in show award at Tatton Park. The knife garden was | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
created by inmates at Everthorpe jail near Brough to highlight the | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
dangers of knife crime and won a competition to feature at the | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
Tatton Park RHS show in Cheshire from tomorrow. The designers say | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
it's helping to turn around the lives of some of the inmates who've | :21:49. | :21:57. | |
worked on it. They come on with different agendas but once they get | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
involved in a project like this, you can see the thought process | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
change, the mindset change and they really become involved and proud of | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
their achievements. We've had plenty of reaction to | :22:10. | :22:18. | |
last night's programme about the Humber Bridge and the tolls. Just a | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
few of the responses. Robert in North Ferriby emailed to say... | :22:22. | :22:32. | |
:22:32. | :23:04. | ||
We are celebrating 30 years of the Humber Bridge. For all its | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
controversy and disputes over the years, for many the Humber Bridge | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
has one constant theme. It's a source of inspiration! From | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
poets, painters and photographers, the Bridge is an icon - and even | :23:12. | :23:22. | |
:23:22. | :23:33. | ||
inspires the many pictures sent to He's been painting the Humber | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
Bridge for ten years, from Barton bike night to drinks with friends - | :23:36. | :23:45. | |
you can always see it somewhere. The Humber Bridge has had a great | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
influence on my paintings. Every day away Cup tour wonderful view of | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
the bridge. In that respect it has had an influence on what I tend to | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
paint. Most pictures have the Humber Bridge in the background. | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
And his newest project reflects on the current controversy surrounding | :24:01. | :24:11. | |
:24:11. | :24:12. | ||
the bridge. The latest work is entitled bridged tales explained. | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
Half of the bridge is missing. It is like a bridge going nowhere. The | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
birds represent money floating about. A lot of my paintings do not | :24:23. | :24:31. | |
have meanings but this when it came to me and that is how what evolved. | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
David's exhibition Beyond The Humber Bridge will soon be on | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
display for all to see. But of course it's not just the art world | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
this iconic structure has inspired, there's the spoken word too. | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
Wynne's play on it like a harp. This Poem Bridge For The Living was | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
writen by Phillip Larkin to commemorate it's opening. | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
And more recently it featured in the Symphony For Yorkshire, a song | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
celebrating everything local. But one person in particular has | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
possibly had the longest relationship with the bridge, | :25:04. | :25:14. | |
:25:14. | :25:16. | ||
photographer David Lee. I have been photographing it for 40 years. We | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
were taking progress photograph from the beginning of the bridge. | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
It grew very slowly so a lot of things did not change much but it | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
was fabulous. Getting up on the cables and on the catwalk was | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
amazing. And many stunning photo's have | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
followed since then David says he never gets bored of | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
the Humber Bridge, through summer or winter, day or night it never | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
fails to inspire. One morning they ran from the control room and told | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
me I might be interested in something. It was a fabulous same | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
width fluffy clouds and the cables coming out of them. It made a | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
fantastic picture and we had it printed and we have sold over 2000. | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
David says he never gets bored of the Humber Bridge. It never fails | :25:56. | :26:05. | |
to inspire. I have a copy of that one at home, | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
where the cloud sticks up above the clouds. | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
Let us recap the headlines: Under scrutiny by Parliament, Rupert's | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
and James Murdoch and Rebekah Brooks give evidence to MPs. | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
Claims that metal prices have turned parts of North Lincolnshire | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
into the worst area in the country for cable theft. | :26:26. | :26:36. | |
:26:36. | :26:36. | ||
The weather for tomorrow, sunny spells and heavy showers. | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
There is a response coming in on the subject of Cable and metal | :26:40. | :26:46. | |
theft. Malcolm says tarmac there are no police available at night to | :26:46. | :26:55. | |
stop these thefts. Peter says... We had two tons of lead stripped from | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
our church. The effect has been devastating for those involved in | :26:59. | :27:08. | |
running and fund-raising for the Church.Let's make an example of | :27:08. | :27:14. | |
these thieves. Lock them up and throw away the keys. This could be | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
seen as attempted murder, just to get their hands on some cash. It is | :27:18. | :27:24. | |
disgusting. We should ban scrap-metal dealers | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
buying scrap wire. We should take a photograph of the seller. If they | :27:29. | :27:34. |
