Food hygiene concerns ` a BBC investigation raises questions about | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
standards at one of our main tourist resorts. It is feared that fewer | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
inspections in Torbay could lead to potential health issues. In food | :00:22. | :00:33. | |
businesses, you stand a good chance of missing standards as they develop | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
and that can lead to potential cases of food poisoning. Also tonight: | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
trouble in Troon as a 20 foot hole opens up in the street. It is | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
thought that long`standing problems with mining channels have caused the | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
collapse. The lollipop mild threatened with suspension for | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
high`fiving children has left his job. There is a warning tonight that | :00:55. | :01:03. | |
people's health could be put at risk by a failure to meet hygiene | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
inspection targets in one of the region's main tourist resorts. | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
Torbay Council says it doesn't have the resources to regularly inspect | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
every food premises but tests carried out by the BBC's Inside Out | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
South West programme have revealed potential food safety issues at more | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
than a third of the businesses sampled in the bay. | :01:19. | :01:31. | |
This builder 's shopping list is a short one. I am not allowed to drink | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
red wine or eat white bread. He has an interval bowel condition caused | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
by Salmonella. He came down with the bug after a hog roast two years ago. | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
I just basically wanted to die at the end of the day because I felt so | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
ill. It is the job of the local authorities to police food hygiene | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
but in July, Torbay abandoned the National targets for inspecting all | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
its food premises. This mild is a specialist and he says that is a | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
risky policy. By not inspecting food businesses, you stand a good chance | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
of missing for standards as they develop and that can lead on to | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
potential cases of food poisoning. We wanted to get a snapshot of | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
hygienic standards in Torbay so Richard collected food samples from | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
14 different outlets and have them tested for a group of organisms, | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
some of which can be harmful. The tests do not reveal whether the | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
dangerous bugs are present but high`level foreign indicator of | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
possible for hygiene practices. The results of five samples came back as | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
unsatisfactory. How concerning our results? Of the five that are | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
unsatisfactory, that is concerning because the local authority have a | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
job to do and keeping an eye on all of its food businesses across the | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
area. Torbay says it will target inspections on the highest risk | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
businesses because it simply cannot afford to visit every premises. We | :03:15. | :03:23. | |
need more resources and we can only do so much with what we have at the | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
moment. The council told us it would be following up the tests with its | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
own checks and pointed out that 80% of food businesses here have | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
achieved the best of hygiene ratings. | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
You can see more on the story on tonight's Inside Out programme here | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
on BBC One at 7:30. As we heard, Torbay Council says it | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
doesn't have the resources to carry out all the inspections. Like all | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
councils, it is having to make cuts and that has reopened the debate | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
about its unitary status and whether it is too small to meet all its | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
obligations. There are even suggestions that there should be | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
just one super council serving the whole of Devon, including Torbay. | :04:00. | :04:11. | |
Binns, beaches and books, three jobs done by unitary councils like | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
Cornwall and Torbay, but is it all too much for a small authority like | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
Torbay? Does it need help from a bigger cancelled? We could | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
amalgamate and get some good ideas and bring everything together. A | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
bigger body coming in and taking charge I'd be the making of Torbay. | :04:31. | :04:40. | |
A few days ago, the leader of Devon County Council, faced with ?100 | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
million of cuts, said this about his neighbouring authority. Torbay has | :04:44. | :04:51. | |
asked to be taken back over. I have reservations on that. Later, he | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
issued a statement saying that was not the best choice of phrase and | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
arguing councils in Devon need to work together to save money. In | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
Torbay 's case, that is ?10 million this year. But the mild in charge, | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
it is difficult but not desperate. We work with our neighbours, we work | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
with Devon, we do not want to be taken over and nor do other local | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
authorities because people want to see local authorities provide the | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
services. Others feel Torbay Council is simply doing too much. Part of | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
the problem now is the fact that we are trying to do everything | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
ourselves when they could be doing things much better in partnership | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
with others. What partnership means is open to debate but given the | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
financial situation facing councils in the south`west, it is a | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
discussion that could start some. Part of a street near Camborne in | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
Cornwall has collapsed into an underground shaft. The huge hole | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
which is around five metres deep opened up at New Street in Troon at | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
the end of last week. A long`term Cornwall Council project is underway | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
in the area to clear out an old mine adit and underpin a number of | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
houses. Spotlight's David George has been given access to the shafts and | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
tunnels which are thought to be more than 300 years old. | :06:13. | :06:21. | |
This is New Street in the village of Troon. Some of the Victorian | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
terraced houses here have unusual and unwanted features. Here, Bill | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
Ingram of number 22. We were taking out loose material from under the | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
property and found a big void underneath which is down here. That | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
goes down onto the ad. How deep is that? About four metres. The new | :06:42. | :06:50. | |
floor level, a drainage tunnel. The blocked tunnel flooded and has | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
caused subsidence and enormous damage to some of the houses. A | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
long`term project, paid for by the government and Cornwall Council is | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
underway to clear the added and make the houses safe. At the end of last | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
week, part of the road collapsed. All that was holding that road up | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
was about 400 millilitres of dirt and then the tarmac holding it | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
together. It is a good thing we found that and are sorting it out | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
before something fell in. Neighbours had campaigned for years for | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
something to be done. A bit alarmed but at the same time, you just | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
think, the house has not moved while I have lived here. One never knows. | :07:35. | :07:43. | |
Engineers took us and Cornish mining historian Alan Buckley into the | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
added to see what had caused the collapse. The area has hundreds of | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
miles of tunnels and adults like this. It is the shafts that the old | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
miners drove up through the rest of this which are causing problems up | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
in New Street above here. It is broadly early 18th`century. It would | :08:08. | :08:19. | |
give them ventilation while they were driving it but it also means | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
they could hoist a broken material out quite easily. It was originally | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
blocked to provide a freshwater supply for residents of the then | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
newly built houses in 1880. Google people used this access path to | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
bring barrels of freshwater out of the tunnel. The council says the | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
project to make the area safe is due to be completed by the end of next | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
month. A Devon firm is in line for a business boost when it takes on work | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
that in recent years has been done in China. | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
The change in fortunes for Devonia Sheepskins and Tannery at | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
Buckfastleigh reflects a rise in Chinese manufacturing gusts. | :08:58. | :09:11. | |
This tannery on the edge of Dartmoor is going to be used by its parent | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
company to produce a range of sheepskins that up to now where | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
being turned out in China. China used to be cheaper for this work but | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
rising gusts there have eroded that advantage. On top of which, there | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
are obvious practical advantages to sourcing products in Britain. We are | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
able to get our customers from London to come down and look at the | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
scheme and say, this is what we are looking for. In a can take what they | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
need. They do not have to go into a container to go back overseas but | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
they can go straight through in a matter of days. Nice to see | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
production coming back to Britain? Very excited about it. A change is | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
now underway with our relationship to China. It is something that | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
always happens sooner or later with developing economies. As their wages | :10:05. | :10:12. | |
get closer to ours, the difference starts to reverse and transport | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
gusts become more important, so we can compete with those companies | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
now. Sheepskin production coming back to the UK from China, an | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
interesting reversal and by no means the only one of its kind, but it is | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
not the overall tide of production going to China has turned. Here in | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
Plymouth, a workplace that is as different from the tannery as you | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
could possibly imagine. They have a technological fix through which has | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
global potential. They knew that they need to be doing at least some | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
of the manufacturing in China. These researchers have come up with a new | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
way of making LEDs for lighting at no cost. The clever bit of the | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
manufacturing is done here in Plymouth and then they ship it out | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
to factories in China for other components to be added. In a new | :11:07. | :11:14. | |
twist, they have been having talks with Chinese industrialists about | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
setting up joint tenure `` joint`venture productions. They want | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
to sell their lighting into Chinese cities but experience suggests China | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
is a very difficult market to import goods into from the West. They will | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
take the product initially but eventually they will form their own | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
technology. They all copy it. The strategy is to go there with | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
joint`venture partner and build the factory for the Chinese market. As | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
China develops further, manufacturers of everything will | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
increasingly see it not so much as one vast factory but one vast | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
market. Coming up: why high`fives landed a | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
lollipop mild in trouble. A setback for Olympic legacy at the Weymouth | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
and Portland National Sailing Academy. Coming up, stay with us to | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
see what the view is like from the top of this chimney stack. | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
A lollipop mild in Plymouth has left his job after being threatened with | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
suspension for high`fiving children as they crossed the road. Pensioner | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
Bob Slade had carried out the role for four years. The City Council | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
says patrols can be friendly but their full attention must be on the | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
road. This is the route near the primary | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
school where lollipop mild Bob Slade would high`5 some pupils as they | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
crossed the road. But a caution from the council saw him walk away from | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
the job last month. You would imagine high`5 being some person | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
putting up their hand and the other person hitting it. In this case, it | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
was God he was holding up his lollipop stick, his other hand would | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
be out and the children would hit his hand. I think it is just madness | :13:20. | :13:27. | |
that we now have a safety issue because somebody was being friendly | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
as part of their job. It is a very sad state that we have two appeal | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
for a mild who we definitely need back. Nobody from the school wanted | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
to comment but the council released a statement. | :13:42. | :14:01. | |
The lollipop mild did not want to be interviewed. Parents and pupils are | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
making their own way across this road without the help of a lollipop | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
mild. The council says they are recruiting for somebody to replace | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
him. We would like to hear what you think | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
about that. We already have comments coming in through our this page. `` | :14:23. | :14:31. | |
our Facebook page. More motorists aged over 50 are | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
drink`driving in Devon and Cornwall than most other parts of the | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
country. A Freedom of information request to all police forces shows | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
Devon and Cornwall in the top worst five. The south`west is also a | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
hotspot for over 75's drink driving. The figures are for 2010 to 2012. | :14:46. | :14:53. | |
The Energy Minister Ed Davey has told the BBC that a deal to build | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
new nuclear power station in Somerset is extremely close. | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
Ministers have been negotiating with EDF, the firm wanting to build | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
Hinkley C, over the price it will receive for the electricity it | :15:05. | :15:12. | |
generates. Managers at Launceston hospital are | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
to reopen ten beds at the unit. The beds had been closed because of | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
staff shortages. New staff are being taken on and all 20 beds should be | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
back in use by November. The Olympic sailing legacy left by | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
the 2012 games at Weymouth and Portland has suffered a setback. The | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
Sale Laser Centre on Portland at the South of the Olympic venue will | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
close from the start of December. It is hoped another company can be | :15:36. | :15:45. | |
found to take its place. The Olympics will be remembered as | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
one of the greatest events ever to happen in Dorset. There was great | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
celebration as it was selected as the sailing venue and then when | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
London was selected itself. One Word that kept occurring was legacy. The | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
legacy the Olympics will lead is really phenomenal. It is absolutely | :16:06. | :16:15. | |
amazing, fantastic news. We are still excited and we cannot contain | :16:16. | :16:23. | |
ourselves. Part of that legacy has been the laser sailing centre here | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
at the National sailing Academy. It has been providing easy access for | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
the sport, encouraging people to try it. But the company is restructuring | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
its business to provide franchises and will leave here in December. | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
They say they will honour all of its commitments and obligations until | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
it's closing date in December. It says it is working closely with the | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
Academy to ensure the trip transition runs smoothly. 5,000 | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
sailors have been through here this year alone. Work is underway to dry | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
and fine a new operator to take it over. | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
The High Court has decided not to look into plans for 1,500 homes on | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
the edge of Truro. The council had wanted judges to examine Cornwall | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
Council was my decision to approve the homes and school and hotel. The | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
project will link to a new stadium for Cornwall. The Exeter Chiefs made | :17:18. | :17:25. | |
light of the big names that came there this weekend. Not such good | :17:26. | :17:35. | |
news in football though. If we can start with the rugby. The result of | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
the weekend? A fantastic result. This Cardiff Blues had lots of great | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
players but the chief just blew them away. This is another guy who has | :17:48. | :17:59. | |
been catching the eye of some selectors at the moment. A mild of | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
the match performance from him. `` mild of the match performance. They | :18:06. | :18:14. | |
will not be happy with this one. He makes them look like schoolboys. It | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
was all over for Cardiff. The award for the easiest try. What a | :18:20. | :18:28. | |
celebration! It is almost like he is running from 50 yards! Here, the | :18:29. | :18:36. | |
referee takes a tumble. In fairness to the referee, he got up quicker | :18:37. | :18:44. | |
than some footballers do! That brings us to the football. Exeter | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
City, not such a great result. Hartlepool made monkeys out of them! | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
Yes, a bad day at the office for Exeter. The mild of the match was | :18:58. | :19:05. | |
Jack Compton. It was just one traffic really. Look James fits in | :19:06. | :19:25. | |
with a bit of help. It went too long, too often. Plymouth Argyle, | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
the only side not to lose. A fair result for them? A fair result. | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
Plymouth probably should have edged it on chances but because they had | :19:40. | :19:50. | |
been sober, a drop was not bad. `` they had been so sure. The momentum | :19:51. | :19:59. | |
was killed and they could not quite get it. Away now to Torquay. They | :20:00. | :20:13. | |
will feel hard done by? Especially being in the lead. They should have | :20:14. | :20:21. | |
been 3`0 up at half`time. The defending was poor on the day. How | :20:22. | :20:30. | |
the referee or a linesman did not see this, it was ridiculous. Very | :20:31. | :20:41. | |
scruffy goal. A very good header. But they could not hold on. This is | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
a manager 's nightmare. There are struggling at the moment. Come on | :20:48. | :20:58. | |
Torquay! We can say that rugby reigns supreme in the south`west | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
this weekend. A clean sweep for the clubs. The Pirates won on Friday | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
night. Three out of three. We need bigger goals. Your old Cardiff! | :21:11. | :21:23. | |
If you have not got a head for heights, you may want to look away | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
for this next item. The chimney which is part of Coldharbour Mill in | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
Uffculme is being restored by steeplejacks so that the working | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
museum can continue to fire up its two steam engines. | :21:35. | :21:46. | |
It might look up at applying `` it might look like a climb up an | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
average that but this mild is 70 feet up a chimney. This is 126 feet | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
high and it is being given a face`lift. We are renewing the | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
mortar of the top 30 feet of this chimp me because it has eroded to | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
such a bad state. It was built in 1799 and ran as a commercial | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
spinning mill until 1981. A year later it became a working museum. | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
The mail is a listed building so we have a duty to look after it and | :22:20. | :22:28. | |
preserve it. We have events throughout the year and when it is | :22:29. | :22:35. | |
in steam, we need the chimney to be working. The stonework is coming | :22:36. | :22:46. | |
away so we will have to repair that. The mill started with the spinning | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
Jenny. Then in Georgian times, the apparatus got bigger. In Victorian | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
times, the machines were more powerful and they could have many | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
more of them, thanks to the power of steam. The mill often steps back in | :23:01. | :23:08. | |
time. School trips is the resource as projects about Victorian times. I | :23:09. | :23:16. | |
had experienced what it is like to be a Victorian child in the mills | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
and doing all the hard work that you had to do. Some children had to come | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
to work because their family had nothing to eat or because their | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
family was sick. Girls were doing the same jobs as boys and they got | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
less payment. Was that fair? No, I don't think that was fair. I wonder | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
if in Victorian times, they had children climbing this chimney to | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
clean it! I would rather look at it that way. | :23:51. | :24:07. | |
Very brave! The weather is next. We have some milder air heading our | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
way. But it is turning more and settled this week. We will see some | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
rain. Higher temperatures by the end of the week but it also becomes a | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
breezy. At the moment, we have an area of low pressure around Central | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
prison. It has produced the rain that we saw this morning. It will | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
move away from us in the next 24 hours. The big change as we move | :24:35. | :24:47. | |
into Wednesday. No pressure and a low band of cloud and rain. It is | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
moving quite fast so it will be ringing in the morning on Wednesday | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
but it will be brighter for the afternoon. This is the centre of the | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
area of low pressure. Our skies had cleared quite nicely. Earlier | :25:03. | :25:10. | |
today, our cameraman was on rich toward Dorset and he caught a | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
glimpse of some of the low cloud first thing this morning but also | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
some of the blue sky later in the day. Some fantastic views of our | :25:17. | :25:26. | |
coastline. The winds had not been overly strong and sees relatively | :25:27. | :25:37. | |
quiet. It was clear skies are still around this evening which means it | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
will turn quite chilly. The showers will fade away tonight and all the | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
clear sky were moving across all of us tonight. Overnight temperatures | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
getting down as low as three degrees. Most of us around six or | :25:54. | :26:08. | |
seven degrees. As for tomorrow, a bit misty with some fog patches | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
first thing. Through the morning and into the afternoon, once they lose | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
the mist and fog, the sunshine will return and it will feel warmer than | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
today. The winds are generally liked and we could see temperatures of 15 | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
degrees. Not a bad day at all. Looking at the forecast for the | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
Isles of Scilly, here, a lot more cloud around and it could produce | :26:35. | :26:36. | |
rain in the morning. Wednesday morning, we see some rain | :26:37. | :27:13. | |
coming in. It will be replaced by brighter conditions as it moves | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
through. Breezy, milder but with sunny spells on Thursday. For which | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
weather again on Friday but even that should move through to allow | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
sunny spells into the afternoon. The temperatures are on their way up. 19 | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
degrees by the end of the week. You are not holding back when it | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
comes to the story of the lollipop mild. Take a look at our Facebook | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
