More than 100 workers are f`cing redundancy after a County Dtrham | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
factory making a famous brand of crisps was earmarked for closure. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
Unions say the proposed loss of the KP plant in Consett ` | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
which makes Phileas Fogg sn`cks ` is devastating. | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
But the company says it plans to expand its Teesside base. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Our correspondent Peter Harris reports. | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
Pay attention, Phileas Fogg authentic snacks made in Consett. | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
It's a factory famous for its advert as well as the crisps it produces. | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
KP's Phileas Fogg plant helped put Consett on the map. | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
Everyone remembers the advert where the plane comes down the ro`d. | :00:47. | :00:55. | |
It's devastating for the whole Consett area. | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
At the moment the company is stating it is just proposals, | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
but as you can appreciate, this is a big employer within the area. | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
People are devastated for themselves, for the famhly | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
The factory employs more than 100 people. | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
It is thought the bad news here could be tempered | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
by expansion at KP's centres at Stanley and Billingham on Tdeside. | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
KP Snacks is now owned by a German company. | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
It's carried out a rationalisation programme. | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
It says this factory is underutilised | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
The closure of the crisp f`ctory will be a poignant blow for Consett | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
though, because this factorx was the firstinvestment in the town after | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
Some of those who work here are couples. | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
The local authority is award of the potential damage of the job losses. | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
Our first thoughts are trying to support those 100 people who will | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
lose their jobs and help thdm to get back into employment or whatever | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
Workers were told to say nothing today. | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
If confirmed, the factory is set to close early next year. | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
A man who died after falling on a B oil platform in the North Sda has | :02:15. | :02:18. | |

The 43`year`old was working on the Unity rig, | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
97 miles off Aberdeen, when the incident happened just after 4: 0am | :02:26. | :02:30. | |

Dominic Loftus, who was 22, died when the car driven by | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
Ryan Glendinning came off the road near Penrith last xear | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
The court heard that Ryan Glendinning had been drinking | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
in the evening on the fateftl night that Dominic Loftus dhed. | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
The court was told he'd drunk five pints of lager and two glasses | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
He said he was determined to drive that night and was driving from | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
the pub to the village of Greystoke when the accident happened. | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
Dominic Loftus had not been drinking, but working in thd pub | :03:15. | :03:17. | |

Cumbria Police said they wotld not tolerate drink`driving. | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
Once you hold a driving licence that is a highly | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
You must remember that at all times drink`driving and drug`drivhng, even | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
when it seems a moment of ftn, can lead to absolute tragic consequences | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
and the message is that drink and drug driving will not be tolerated | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
and it does have devastating effects, as we have seen today. | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
Sentencing Ryan Glendinning to five years in prison, the judge said | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
the sentence would seem wholly inadequate to a grieving falily | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
He told Glendinning that through your actions you have left | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
a close`knit family inconsolable and totally bereft. | :04:08. | :04:16. | |
The North's reservists are helping to fill the gap left by Govdrnment | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
cuts to the regular army ` but there are fears there won't be | :04:20. | :04:23. | |

For the last fortnight, 5th Battalion Royal Regiment | :04:34. | :04:42. | |
of Fusiliers have been training for war in Europe alongside | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
These volunteers are in the main impossible to disthnguish | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
from full`time soldiers, most of whom say they'd be happy to | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
We've both been to Afghan whth reserves, so we've had reserves | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
Once they are up and running they are just as good | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
But while few would question the skill and commitment of the | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
individual Army reserve soldiers, there are not enough of thel. | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
Like most regiments the 5th Fusiliers faced major | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
I've been in the reserve forces and the regular forces and | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
the last time I was in with the TA, we had a fully recruited colpany. | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
I think this time around I'l finding there are far fewer people here | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
and it has been a challenge to try to get the numbers into | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
The Ministry of Defence needs 30,000 trahned | :05:36. | :05:41. | |

In the year to the end of Fdbruary, they took on 24 new recruits, | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
But in the last six months or so they've already taken on more of | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
We have a good number of recruits, more | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
And they are attending and passing the courses that we require. | :06:22. | :06:29. | |
