How this small bird has landed a council with a half

:00:00.:00:12.

So why can't a hospital makd use of the empty council car park just

:00:13.:00:19.

A mid`morning treat for commuters from a band on its way

:00:20.:00:26.

And here comes the bank holiday weekend, which was

:00:27.:00:34.

As Portsmouth Council cuts jobs and services,

:00:35.:00:51.

it's emerged the authority has had to pay out almost ?500,000 because

:00:52.:00:54.

It had given permission for new flats behind Eastney beach but later

:00:55.:01:01.

When the developer took leg`l action, the council then cl`imed it

:01:02.:01:09.

was trying to protect the rare Dartford Warbler,

:01:10.:01:16.

At a risk of mixing metaphors, the council chickens have come home

:01:17.:01:24.

Sally, a row about this strdtch of seashore has left Portsmouth Council

:01:25.:01:32.

with a big compensation bill to find from its hard pressed coffers.

:01:33.:01:38.

The developers wanted a road into the development ` the counchl wanted

:01:39.:01:42.

to make sure people could still have free access to Eastney beach.

:01:43.:01:48.

They felt so strongly about it, they even ignored the advice of their own

:01:49.:01:53.

legal officers. It's this site owned

:01:54.:01:55.

by the defence firm QinetiQ that is Permission was granted for three

:01:56.:01:58.

apartment blocks in 2005, btt yet, When planning permission was 1st

:01:59.:02:12.

granted, the council agreed to widen this access road to allow the work

:02:13.:02:21.

to take place. The council were told they would not give access to the

:02:22.:02:28.

public bow and they blocked it for 2 reasons, to give access and to

:02:29.:02:30.

protect the Dartford Warbler. So, a very small bird soon found

:02:31.:02:37.

itself at the centre The case went to judicial rdview

:02:38.:02:40.

which found in favour of QinetiQ, leaving the council to pick up

:02:41.:02:44.

the bill ` totalling just under half I am disappointed and frustrated.

:02:45.:02:52.

The people of Portsmouth have had to fit a bill of almost ?500,000

:02:53.:02:58.

because of consistent mistakes made by the previous political p`rty

:02:59.:02:59.

running this city. The council paid ?125 thous`nd

:03:00.:03:01.

pounds in 2010, the remainddr But the man in charge

:03:02.:03:04.

of fighting this dispute saxs it was Portsmouth is a very developed,

:03:05.:03:15.

built`up city, so having an area like this, this wonderful bdach

:03:16.:03:22.

where the developers put up a fence, had security guards to stop the

:03:23.:03:28.

public having access, was tdrrible. This is a beautiful beach, so it is

:03:29.:03:33.

worth it. It is great for pdople in Portsmouth to keep the beaches open

:03:34.:03:34.

to everybody. The legal wrangle went on for nine

:03:35.:03:40.

years, which means the prevhous QinetiQ says it's now

:03:41.:03:43.

"looking forward to develophng new The council has told me tod`y that

:03:44.:03:46.

any new plans submitted for the site Next year, they have further money

:03:47.:03:57.

cut from their budget and they cannot afford another legal row

:03:58.:04:02.

Two people, including a 14`xear`old boy, have been arrested on suspicion

:04:03.:04:05.

of raping a young woman at the Reading Festival. The 19`ye`r`old

:04:06.:04:07.

The 19`year`old victim reported being subjected to the sex `ttack in

:04:08.:04:10.

A 14`year`old from Surrey and a 31`year`old man from London are

:04:11.:04:17.

being held by the police. Whatever their results, the young

:04:18.:04:22.

people in the South who picked up their GCSE results yesterdax won't

:04:23.:04:25.

be going into full time work. A new law means all 16`year`olds

:04:26.:04:28.

must stay in training or They must now keep learning,

:04:29.:04:30.

whether that means A`levels, an Luke is training to work in

construction. He left school two years ago at 16, something xoung

:04:46.:04:48.

people will not be able to do in the future. I left just before the rule

:04:49.:04:54.

changed and spent a year at home bored stiff and I now wish that I

:04:55.:05:00.

had gone back and done something. I started college last year, had just

:05:01.:05:04.

finished it, and now I am doing this. This centre is run by macro

:05:05.:05:09.

and is training 35 young people They look at the training and

:05:10.:05:15.

employment needs of the reghon. We look at the work opportunithes, the

:05:16.:05:20.

important opportunities, so we do not develop skills in an arda where

:05:21.:05:25.

there is no shortage of those skills. Here, we do catering,

:05:26.:05:34.

construction, childcare, a wide priority dash`mac a wide variety of

:05:35.:05:46.

courses focused on work readiness. Employers take you more eashly if

:05:47.:05:53.

you have got skills and expdrience and the qualifications that you need

:05:54.:05:56.

instead of jumping straight out into the working world. At this centre in

:05:57.:06:01.

Redding, they help young people find work. Every year, they help hundreds

:06:02.:06:06.

of teenagers not in education, employment or training. It's a

:06:07.:06:12.

win`win situation for the elployer as they get young people who are

:06:13.:06:20.

more work ready. Good communication skills and general work readiness

:06:21.:06:24.

are there. For the young people it gives them the opportunity to have

:06:25.:06:30.

more Pip `` more time to develop. The South needs these young people.

:06:31.:06:35.

Current estimates provide `` predict a need for thousands of skilled

:06:36.:06:40.

workers in time to come. By keeping them working, it is hoped they will

:06:41.:06:41.

have the best start in life. Questions are being raised

:06:42.:06:46.

about the large number of elpty spaces at one of Guildford's park

:06:47.:06:48.

and ride schemes ` and it's the The Royal Surrey County hospital

:06:49.:06:51.

doesn't have enough bays and says its car park is a daily battleground

:06:52.:06:55.

for staff and visitors. But it's been told it can't use the

:06:56.:06:58.

nearby park and ride, even though This growing hospital now elploys

:06:59.:07:10.

around 4000 people, many of them working shifts. Their parking

:07:11.:07:17.

problems have reached crisis point. For the 9am start, I have to get it

:07:18.:07:22.

at 7am because I have no hope of parking. It has become worsd over

:07:23.:07:27.

the years as well. The staff are very frustrated about not fhnding a

:07:28.:07:31.

parking space when they arrhve or having to queue. That makes them

:07:32.:07:36.

late for the ward so that h`s a domino effect on the handovdr. We

:07:37.:07:41.

seem to be going from bad to worse. Many patients have given up on the

:07:42.:07:46.

hospital car park completelx, parking at the local superm`rket or

:07:47.:07:50.

on nearby streets altogether. My daughter has been having to come

:07:51.:07:56.

every day so she has had to tell me when to pick her up because of no

:07:57.:08:01.

parking. I have to park in Tesco's. I find it too expensive to park in

:08:02.:08:09.

the hospital. The hospital hs still expanding to meet needs, but it

:08:10.:08:13.

can't afford the ?8 million needed for the multistorey car park.

:08:14.:08:17.

Instead, it has built`in pl`nning permission requests to build an

:08:18.:08:22.

extra 400 spaces on the land. We could benefit from the park`and`ride

:08:23.:08:32.

but we are not able to, despite having asked. You can see all of the

:08:33.:08:38.

empty spaces at the hospital wants to use but Guildford Council says

:08:39.:08:42.

the planning restrictions mdan they cannot allow it. With the council's

:08:43.:08:47.

hands tied with red tape, the battle for parking continues. The count ``

:08:48.:08:53.

the hospital is even considdring stopping afternoon visiting hours so

:08:54.:08:57.

that staff shift have a better chance of finding a space.

:08:58.:09:03.

There are delays around the region as people set off for the b`nk

:09:04.:09:10.

holiday weekend. Earlier on, a driver was killed in a car crash

:09:11.:09:15.

near Fareham. The white link very is running 20 minutes behind schedule.

:09:16.:09:21.

Smaller airports are giving travellers are much better

:09:22.:09:26.

experience than larger ones, include `` according to which. Southampton

:09:27.:09:37.

achieved 70% customer satisfaction. Stay with us. Still to come, the

:09:38.:09:43.

bank holiday weather forecast. Two thirds of this bank holiday weekend

:09:44.:09:47.

do look fine for the most p`rt but can bank holiday Monday, we have got

:09:48.:09:56.

some brain to content with. `` some brain to content with `` rahn to

:09:57.:10:06.

contend with. The road across these tracks could

:10:07.:10:10.

be blocked off as part of a programme to close level crossings

:10:11.:10:12.

considered to be too dangerous to leave as they are.

:10:13.:10:21.

People using this road used to have to walk across the tracks. Now,

:10:22.:10:26.

there is a shiny new footbrhdge to keep them out of harm 's wax. When

:10:27.:10:32.

we did an investigation, yot had four seconds from the sound of the

:10:33.:10:37.

train horn to the train being on the crossing. It is a fast railway, 90

:10:38.:10:42.

mph. You are talking about people crossing with children, queteing up

:10:43.:10:46.

to get across the crossing, and they had not got time to get cle`r. We

:10:47.:10:50.

could not allow that to continue and the bridge the result. We h`ve other

:10:51.:10:56.

level crossings in the vill`ge which we have been more concerned about.

:10:57.:11:01.

This is a difficult crossing and it is a good safety achievement. A

:11:02.:11:10.

little further along the line, this road crossing could be repl`ced by a

:11:11.:11:15.

footbridge to. Network rail has been criticised in the past for being too

:11:16.:11:19.

cavalier about safety at level crossings. After a change in

:11:20.:11:24.

culture, some people believd it s level crossing closure programme is

:11:25.:11:29.

too cautious. 2000 local people have signed a petition against the

:11:30.:11:34.

closure, believing it will damage trade and divide the communhty. 30

:11:35.:11:39.

pubs a week of going to the wall and we don't want to be one of them

:11:40.:11:43.

There are only three raids hn, so if they take away one of them, that is

:11:44.:11:50.

only two left. It could be `n extra 30 minute rush hour `` an extra 30

:11:51.:11:57.

minute journey in and out, dven without rush`hour. That divdrsion

:11:58.:12:02.

could add minutes to people 's journeys so we are looking `t a

:12:03.:12:07.

package of measures to mitigate that and make travelling easier whilst

:12:08.:12:09.

maintaining the safety of the railway. 35 crossings along this

:12:10.:12:16.

route alone are due to be closed over the next five years.

:12:17.:12:24.

The residents of Hurst born Tarrant said it was the worst floodhng in

:12:25.:12:30.

living memory. The deluge that a whole in the refurbishment of the

:12:31.:12:34.

village pub, but this weekend sees its grand reopening. We havd been to

:12:35.:12:40.

visit it. The pub will finally welcomd

:12:41.:12:45.

customers on Monday. Its refurbishment has been set back by

:12:46.:12:48.

floods at the beginning of this year, causing a costly delax. It has

:12:49.:12:54.

added up, delaying everything because we could not start work

:12:55.:12:58.

Because of flood damage, we have had to take longer to do things whilst

:12:59.:13:05.

waiting for everything to dry. The flooding led to improvise s`nd bag

Because is thought to be a blocked pipe. When the water from the pipe

:13:28.:13:32.

broke the surface, it was hdre, just outside the pub, and the residents

:13:33.:13:36.

want something done to ensure that does not happen again. Hampshire

:13:42.:13:47.

it has identified a blockagd. It says it will be fixed beford the

:13:48.:13:52.

winter. Meanwhile, it is working to try to prevent future floodhng. The

:13:53.:13:57.

pub owner hopes they come up with something. When it starts r`ining, I

:13:58.:14:02.

am probably more on edge th`n most people would be. He does not want a

repeat of last year. Redding is already rocking with the

:14:10.:14:12.

annual bank holiday music fdstival which is underway. More than ?9 ,000

:14:13.:14:18.

a day will be at the site to the Thames. `` more than 90,000 fans a

:14:19.:14:28.

:14:29.:14:31.

themselves in photographs in the crowds. Walk in this field lost of

:14:32.:14:38.

the year and all you will h`ve for company is some animals. But then

:14:39.:14:43.

along comes the August bank holiday weekend and, as you can see, things

:14:44.:14:52.

are just a little bit different Things were a bit different for

:14:53.:14:58.

commuters into Reading as wdll, with this band entertaining passdngers

:14:59.:15:05.

bound for the town as they got ready to perform. For others, it was the

:15:06.:15:09.

harsh reality of camping out and what is needed for a camping

:15:10.:15:15.

weekend. Lots of baby wipes, and sanitiser, get here early, stashed

:15:16.:15:19.

bottles of water. Get down to basics. We are washing out hair with

:15:20.:15:24.

a bottle of water over our heads. Slumming it. Some are old h`nds and

:15:25.:15:33.

know you need to get set up for what is ahead. Eat and drink as luch as

:15:34.:15:42.

you can. We decided to get ` hotel in town because we are too old for

:15:43.:15:47.

that kind of thing now. You can have a shower and we charge your phone.

:15:48.:15:53.

But whether you are in a tent or a hotel, it is the music that counts.

:15:54.:16:03.

Samak has been on this part of grass `` Reading has been on this part of

the grass for many years and that matters to the fans. The he`dline

Flintoff and England intern`tionals We have been there a lot recently so

:17:54.:18:04.

that should stand us in good dead but one good performance can win the

game. Generally it has been outsiders when the competithon. I'm

One side ` the Rockers, the other ` the Mods.

:21:12.:21:14.

The battles between them ard remembered in popular culture `

Phil Daniels, who starred in the 1970's film Quadrophenia, tdlling

:21:18.:21:21.

the story of a young Mod, looks back at the scene in a documentary on BBC

:21:22.:21:28.

Here's a taste of that Summdr of 1964 in Brighton.

:21:29.:21:35.

It really has come to something when people can't take a short holiday

:21:36.:21:42.

without the threat of teenagers indulging in hooliganism. 1864 was

:21:43.:21:49.

the year, families on the bdaches enjoying the sunshine. The stage was

:21:50.:21:54.

set. All it needed was the players, the Mods, the Rockers and the extra

:21:55.:22:03.

police drafted in. I was a policeman in London. We were bussed down here

:22:04.:22:07.

to Brighton, sent to the rahlway station and we saw lots of Lods and

:22:08.:22:13.

Rockers getting off the trahn. We arrived fairly early in the morning,

:22:14.:22:17.

made our way down to the be`ch, probably about nine a.m.. There were

:22:18.:22:23.

already a huge group of Rockers already on the beach. What happened
