Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme: | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Tying a yellow ribbon, the campaigners against plans to build | :00:10. | :00:17. | |
10,000 new houses. They clearly haven't research what | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
they are doing. This area regularly floods. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
Back on their feet, the patients in their 80s and 90s undergoing hip | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
replacements. If they are up and working on the day of surgery, it is | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
a boost for them. Pull it down ` the tented family | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
facing a cramped future after falling foul of the planners. | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
And what's in a name? The residents facing a housing headache. We were | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
just poleaxed by it. We were panicking. | :00:49. | :00:59. | |
People campaigning against a new town that could be built in the | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
Sussex countryside have wrapped a seven`mile long yellow ribbon around | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
what would be its town centre. Developers want to build up to | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
10,000 new homes between Hurstpierpoint and Henfield. There | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
are three potential options for sites for the development. The first | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
would be in this area, as one main block. The second contains a smaller | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
main portion, with another development to the east. And there's | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
a third proposal with smaller developments scattered around this | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
area. If planning permission is granted, construction would start in | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
2017 and take around 20 years to complete. Protestors say the scheme | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
is completely unsustainable. Steve Humphrey reports. | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
They were out early putting up the seven`mile long yellow ribbon that | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
symbolises local opposition to proposals to build an entire new | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
town around ancient villages like Wineham and Twineham. There are | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
strong emotions over the issue and a steely determination to try to | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
protect this part of Sussex. I love this proper rural England. It is not | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
a national park. It is what England is all about. To lose that is just | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
dreadful. All the land you can see in the distance would be covered. It | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
would be concreted over. They haven't researched what they are | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
doing. This area regularly floods. The new town proposal comes from | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
Mayfield Market Towns Limited, which argues new homes are desperately | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
needed. But opponents have questioned the way the developer is | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
trying to change district plans which govern where new homes are | :02:33. | :02:41. | |
built and how many are constructed. The council have a plan, but the | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
plan only deals with a certain amount of housing need. What you | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
have got now is many more sons and daughters seeking a house in the | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
area. They now have the affordability to get a mortgage | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
under the new government arrangements, and they are seeking, | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
pursuing a new house and moving out from mum and dad. The local councils | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
are preparing for housing with their own plans. They should be the ones | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
who decide. Nobody wants this new town slapped on them in the middle | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
of open countryside. This is an unsustainable, unnecessary proposal. | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
Today, the district council issued a statement saying it opposes a big | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
new development in this area. It says it would destroy the character | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
or local villages. The council says its own district plan, prepared in | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
consultation, would turn the parish councils... And would give the most | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
appropriate locations for development. | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
Dorset Police have released more details about the murder of a | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
42`year`old man in Bournemouth which is being linked with a fatal road | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
collision in Wiltshire. The body of Ibrahim Youseuf was found at his | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
flat in Boscombe on Friday. Police say a man who died in a road | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
collision near Trowbridge on Friday morning had argued with the murder | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
victim and they believe he had stolen a car from him. Briony | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
Leyland reports. Last Friday morning, police were | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
called to a collision on the A315 near Trowbridge full stop the silver | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
car had been on the wrong side of the road and went headlong into the | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
lorry. The driver was killed. Wilshere police asked their | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
colleagues in Dorset to trace the next of kin as the car was | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
registered in Bournemouth. When police went to the home of the | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
registered keeper of the car, they found it to the macro him to be | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
alive and well but discovered the car had recently been used by the | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
owner of this car wash, Ibrahim Youseuf. They said the boss had not | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
turn up for work, and when police went to his flat, they found his | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
body inside. He had been stabbed. Detectives said Rentokil Evans links | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
the man who died in the collision with the murder. `` detective said | :04:54. | :05:05. | |
evidence links the man. We are aware that there was an argument in the | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
flat. Also, anybody who can give us information about Ibrahim Youseuf | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
himself and his interaction with people come his friends, his | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
employees and how he runs his business, we would like to hear from | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
them. Ibrahim Youseuf had built up his business from scratch off the | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
coming from Iraq five years ago. He had earned respect from the | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
community. Cheerful, charming industrious, what else can you say? | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
A good friend. So you must be said about his loss? Yes. I am. We all | :05:38. | :05:49. | |
are. S6 `` he seemed a good, honest person. He worked extremely hard. | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
This is a shock. Police say the motive is not clear. There may have | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
been financial motives. The circumstances of the collision are | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
being investigated. There were claims of a erratic driving | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
beforehand. Ibrahim Youseuf's family in Iraq are being kept informed by | :06:07. | :06:16. | |
detectives. A Sussex MP in voting anti`fracking | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
protests has been appearing court. Caroline Lucas appeared `` pleaded | :06:22. | :06:33. | |
not guilty. Caroline Lucas in what protesters called a day of direct | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
action. The MP had joined hundreds of protesters who were concerned | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
that activity by Cuadrilla could lead to fracking. On that day, 30 | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
people were arrested, including her son, and, moments later, the MP | :06:49. | :06:58. | |
herself. She admits taking part in the protests next to the entrance to | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
the Cuadrilla site but denies breaking any laws. In court today, | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
Caroline Lucas spoke only to confirm her name, address and date of that | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
and to plead guilty to the charges. She was released on unconditional | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
bail. Afterwards, she spoke to the media. By joining the protest, I | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
wanted to join others in opposing the exportation of yet more fossil | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
fuels. The trial will take place early next year. My constituents | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
will be able to contact me as usual and I will concede you, weekly | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
surgeries, attend local meetings and represent Brighton in Parliament | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
debates. In an open letter to her constituents, she said that by | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
joining the protest she wanted to send a clear message to the | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
government. She will now be tried with four other defendants in a | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
trial that will take place next federal or March. | :07:55. | :08:07. | |
The couple put up a tense like those used by Central Asian nomads on land | :08:08. | :08:18. | |
their family owns. `` a tent. It is every child's dream, a tent in | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
the woods where you can while away a wet afternoon. It is big and we have | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
wood burners and it is nice. I can fit toys in here, too. But this yurt | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
is more practical. When the family were in need of a new home, the | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
grandparents offered to put a roof over their heads. But the bungalow | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
was not big enough. There is not stories for the toys and for them to | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
have room to enjoy it. In this weather, it is a perfect example of | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
where the additional indoor space is so valuable. The family will squeeze | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
into the bungalow juice `` to wash. But after being told that the yurt | :09:04. | :09:12. | |
breaks planning laws, it has to be taken down. It is ridiculous. It is | :09:13. | :09:23. | |
on our land, nodded `` not in anybody else's view. The council | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
says it is determined to protect Greenland. `` green land in this | :09:31. | :09:41. | |
area. Even if the council can provide housing they can afford, it | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
will be a wrench. Family life is important, and having the family | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
together is difficult because of the way we live. As a result, I think | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
this works wonderfully. Now it seems the yurt's days may be numbered. The | :10:00. | :10:09. | |
family may have to move on. Still to come in this evening's | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
South Today: What's in a name? Quite a lot for these residents. | :10:13. | :10:22. | |
Find out why a little later. Surgeons in Southampton say they're | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
performing a record number of hip replacement operations on patients | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
in their 90s and even into their hundreds. One patient who received a | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
new hip was 105 years old. Advances in anaesthesia and recovery methods | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
have made the treatment more available to older, frailer | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
patients. Our health correspondent, David Fenton, reports. | :10:37. | :10:46. | |
Betty has had a nasty fall and is about to get a new hip under local | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
anaesthetic. They are awake immediately after the operation. | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
They can have a drink and something to eat straightaway after the | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
operation. It helps them, we are able to mobilise patients much more | :11:02. | :11:09. | |
quickly afterwards. Betty's operation has started. Hip fractures | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
often need to be built with very quickly. For elderly patients, they | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
can be particularly dangerous. They know that they have had a hip | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
fracture, which is a life`threatening event. If they are | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
up and walking on the day of the event, they have a boost. Betty is | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
doing well. She is still awake but can't feel anything. In the past, | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
people could spin two weeks in hospital after a hip replacement. | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
These days, some are up and walking within hours and many go home after | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
just a week. Eve on is 92. She broke her hip walking home after a game of | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
Scrabble. Her priority now is getting well, getting home as soon | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
as possible. When I fell, I thought, oh, dear, this is the beginning of | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
the end. I didn't want to end my life like that! When old people | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
fall, at my age, they usually break something. Some patients find it | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
easier than others. This woman was walking just two hours after a fall | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
and a hip replacement, and laughing about it. Betty is just beginning | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
her exercises. But, 24 hours after her up or Asian, she will be up and | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
out of bed and walking around. `` her operation. | :12:35. | :12:42. | |
A health care assistant accused of sexual activity with a female | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
patient who had a mental disorder at a West Sussex hospital has been | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
found not guilty by a jury at Brighton Crown Court. Sajin | :12:50. | :12:51. | |
Panikkassery, who's 29 and from Chichester, was working as a health | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
care assistant at St Richard's Hospital in the city. The court had | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
heard that the patient in question had made similar allegations about | :12:59. | :13:06. | |
other men in the past. All this week we're looking at the | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
South's connections with China. Tonight we're looking at science and | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
technology, and we're looking to the stars. Government Minister David | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
Willetts has just announced ?7 million of funding for collaboration | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
between the two countries. That adds to the ?47 million already spent on | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
joint projects. Even those figures are dwarfed by the business | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
generated for firms in the South already working with China. Among | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
them is Surrey Satellites Technology Limited, which currently has a | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
contract worth ?120 millionto work with the Chinese. Sarah Cruddas | :13:30. | :13:41. | |
reports. They might not look like much but | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
these tiny circuits made in Guildford helped to play a big part | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
in all of this. China's space programme, rapidly becoming more | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
advanced. The company is one of 50 UK companies elaborating with China | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
on science projects. It goes back to about 1993. They said they plan over | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
the next 15 years to develop it. And goodness, how they have succeeded. | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
This is what we call a structure model. Here, they make satellites to | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
be used by the Chinese. We hope that when the satellites are laws, that | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
they will be as successful as the previous ones. You might not think | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
Britain has a space programme, but actually it is worth more than ?9 | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
billion to the economy. The hope is that by 2030 that number will sit at | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
around 40 billion. It will be hugged by companies such as this, who are | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
collaborating with China and creating more jobs in science and | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
technology. For the world's fastest`growing economy, innovation | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
plays a huge part. For the UK, working together could bring big | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
benefits. There is no proper in the world that can be solved by one | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
group of scientists are working in one culture. China has a large space | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
programme. We are growing our space programme. We're looking at ways to | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
participate, perhaps with British experiments on Chinese missions. | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
Across the south, there are several companies linking up with China on | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
different science projects. We have been involved with the Chinese for | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
40 years. We have been aiding the ability of Chinese scientists and | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
British scientists to get together and share their knowledge of | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
astronomy and to do the same for companies. It is too soon to tell | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
what the overall economic benefits will leave. But for Martin, his eyes | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
are set on some big targets. They will go to the moon before long. | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
They will launch their first probe to Mars. We will hopefully have some | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
science collaborations on the instruments, perhaps, when the time | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
comes. All this gives potential for new technology and jobs in the | :16:03. | :16:04. | |
South. And tomorrow night we're in the | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
Thames Valley, finding out why Berkshire's silicon valley is slowly | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
becoming recognised in China as a place to do business. | :16:11. | :16:23. | |
Next year marks the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War, and | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
the BBC is planning the biggest project ever commissioned to | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
commemorate it. To tell that story, we need your help. Here's Bob | :16:30. | :16:31. | |
Everett with more. Millions of people died in what was | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
known as the war to end all wars. The four`year conflict from 1914 | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
until 1918 changed life in this country forever. The BBC plans to | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
mark the anniversary with a series of programmes and features, dramas | :16:44. | :16:45. | |
and documentaries, across television, radio and online. And as | :16:46. | :16:55. | |
part of that, we'll be telling the stories which affected us here in | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
the South. The people and the places whose stories may never have been | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
told before, giving them a voice, and ensuring their stories are left | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
for generations to come. Film footage from the time gives us | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
an insight. Here are Indian soldiers going through a physical drill in | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
the New Forest. British and Australian troops leaving Weymouth. | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
The Expeditionary force leaving Southampton. And here's Queen Mary | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
reviewing troops in Winchester. We'd like to hear your family | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
stories, from those in local regiments who saw the horror of | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
battle at the front, those who were involved in the war at sea, and | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
those who were part of the newest weapon on the battlefield ` the war | :17:38. | :17:45. | |
in the air. Of course, it wasn't just those on | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
the front line. Millions of people were part of the war effort at home, | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
some from a military perspective, others who ensured daily life could | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
carry on. Do you have stories from the First | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
World War which have shaped the lives of your family? Have you got | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
letters or diaries or photos which bring those stories to life? If so, | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
we'd love to hear from you. You can email the programme. Or you can post | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
comments on our Facebook page. email the programme. Or you can post | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
comments on And you can find out more about the BBC's plans on the | :18:19. | :18:20. | |
website. Don't forget, we need your help to | :18:21. | :18:39. | |
tell us the story. Please get in touch. On to sport. Chris is here. | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
Some breaking news about ready football club? | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
The chairman is going to be staying on for another Schumacher years. `` | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
another two years. There are takeover talks involving himself. | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
Two years is a long time to commit. Why do you think he is staying on? | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
There is uncertainty at the moment. He owns 49% of the Royals. Talks are | :19:09. | :19:23. | |
still ongoing. More to come! That is the breaking news tonight. | :19:24. | :19:36. | |
Reading Football Club have announced plans to build a new training ground | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
after completing the purchase of a plot of land from the Royal Merchant | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
Navy School. Reading have only been at their current Hogwood Park base | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
since 2004. They've now signed a deal to buy 120 acres of land three | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
miles north of Hogwood Park. The new site at Bearwood Estate will house | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
15 pitches and will be home to the first team and the academy. | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
There was a notable moment for a Southampton footballer in an | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
international last night. No, not in the England`Poland game at Wembley, | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
where neither of the Saints pair Rickie Lambert nor Artur Boruc | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
featured. Instead it was in the less grand surroundings of Ipswich. | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
18`year`old Saints midfielder James Ward`Prowse curled in this cracking | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
free kick for his first goal at England Under`21 level. That was in | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
their 5`0 win over Lithuania. Meanwhile, Saints' in`form | :20:19. | :20:20. | |
goalkeeper Artur Boruc is a doubt for Saints' trip to Manchester | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
United on Saturday. He missed Poland's game against England last | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
night with a hamstring strain. Poole Pirates can once again proudly | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
call themselves the British Speedway champions. They won the Elite League | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
title after completing victory over the Birmingham Brummies across the | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
two`legged Grand Final. The Pirates led by 21 points after the first | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
leg, and extended that advantage further on a memorable night at | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
Perry Barr. Rob Powell's report does contain some flash photography. | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
Against the odds, a fifth Elite League title for Poole Pirates. Back | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
in May, the Pirates were bottom of the table and plagued by injuries. | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
Now, with star rider Darcy Ward fully recovered, they're champions | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
again. We have got the best fans in the country. | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
Poole were 21 points up going into the second leg against Birmingham | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
Brummies. Victory was effectively sealed in Heat 11 by Australian | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
Ward. And by the end of the night at Perry Bar the Pirates had brought it | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
home. Final aggragate score: 104`79. Absolutely brilliant! It all came | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
together at the end. I don't think we could have done it without him. | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
Well done, Darcy. We squeaked into the play`offs and now we have won | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
it. The guys have all pulled together. It is a brilliant | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
achievement. New signing Greg Hancock was at the | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
centre of the celebrations. He was brought in after captain Chris | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
Holder suffered an injury in July. It was a long shot. We just like to | :21:41. | :21:49. | |
have a good run at it. To cover for Chris was one of the greatest things | :21:50. | :21:51. | |
I could have done. This team couldn't have been better. Because | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
of the way we have won this, it is incredible. That guy, Darcy Ward, | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
when you work with talent like that you have always got a chance. | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
A victory and comeback that Speedway fans in the South won't forget in a | :22:07. | :22:20. | |
hurry. Congratulations to them. This moody sunrise in Bordon in | :22:21. | :22:23. | |

streaming through the trees Overnight we will see 12`macro | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
showers. No mist patches to talk of, but the showers could be on the | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
heavy side. Elsewhere, it should stage a rye with a few clear spells. | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
Very mild. We are having this breathes. `` it should stage a riot. | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
Lows between 11 and 14. A mild start to tomorrow. The shells could be on | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
the heavy side. More likely along the M4 corridor. Elsewhere, sunny | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
spells will start to develop. In the sunshine, temperatures will rise | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
nicely. Tomorrow, 16, 17, maybe 18 Celsius with a light to moderate | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
south`westerly winds. The odd shower to end the day but it should become | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
drier tomorrow night into the early hours. If you clear spells, maybe | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
some mist patches. Temperatures once a claim `` again mild. A dry start | :23:31. | :23:39. | |
to Friday but it is all change on mid`morning. The winds will be | :23:40. | :23:47. | |
dragged up from the south. A mild day did `` despite the wind and | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
rain. It will be quite a sunny day all in all. `` soggy day. Looking | :23:53. | :24:00. | |
ahead to the weekend, the rain will clear first thing, and following | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
that, showers. At times staying breezy but it will be mild. | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
Temperatures are two or three degrees above average. Rain on | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
Friday, arriving around mid`morning. With it, the strong south`westerly | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
winds. For Saturday, I love of cloud around initially with the rain first | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
thing. That will clear to leave us with sunshine and showers. `` a lot | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
of cloud. Now, what's in a name? We're talking | :24:32. | :24:42. | |
about addresses which play an important part in life. Think back | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
to when you last moved house. All the paperwork and seemingly endless | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
phone calls which go into changing your address. Or what about when you | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
open a new bank account, when you're usually asked to produce ID with | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
your name and address on? Well, now imagine the dismay of the residents | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
of a street in Worthing when they received letters informing them | :25:01. | :25:02. | |
their address and postcode been changed with immediate effect. | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
That's what happened over the weekend. Jo Kent has been | :25:06. | :25:06. | |
investigating. We're here to meet Paul and Judy, | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
who, until Saturday, thought they at number 70. `` they lived. Now they | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
are not sure what their address is. I received a letter with my name on, | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
saying that within 24 hours our house number will change from 70 to | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
three. It would be called Henty close. They had changed our postcode | :25:26. | :25:32. | |
as well. If, like me, you have recently moved house, you will know | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
that changing your details can be a real headache. Imagine how much more | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
of a headache it is if the postcode you have just been given doesn't | :25:43. | :25:51. | |
seem to exist. If the house burns down tonight, are we ensured? `` | :25:52. | :26:02. | |
insured? We are in limbo. This is the road on the even side. Number 54 | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
is behind me. We are into the close now. To all intents and purposes, | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
its address has been Henty Road. The first house we come to, number 56. | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
It becomes number ten. And so it continues. Christmas, if it stays | :26:23. | :26:30. | |
like this, is going to be chaotic. We are going to be running around | :26:31. | :26:33. | |
wondering where to get our cards from. It is a horrible letter. It | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
is, this is what is going to happen, tough, get on with it. What | :26:40. | :26:51. | |
has the council had to say? Actually, the Cabinet member with | :26:52. | :26:53. | |
responsibility in this area didn't know about it and says officers have | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
really messed up. I am appalled by it. I am really sorry to the | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
residents. If they have any financial consequences, they can | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
send us the accounts. We told Judy and pour the good news. Fantastic. | :27:08. | :27:23. | |
Now I am confused. What are they? ! Imagine what the postman must think. | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
Poor people. That is all our time for tonight. Tomorrow, you are going | :27:30. | :27:36. | |
to look ahead to the rally sun`seeker? Be with us tomorrow if | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
you can. Good night. | :27:41. | :27:44. |
