:06:58. > :06:58.
:06:58. > :07:03.at ways of dispersal. It is all like to keep arresting people but
:07:03. > :07:08.we might need the police cell later on. Will be back on the beat
:07:08. > :07:13.shortly. A direction-to-leave simply means simply sending someone
:07:13. > :07:20.home for the night to sleep it off. If they come back into the town,
:07:20. > :07:22.they will be re-arrested. This is one of a number of techniques to
:07:22. > :07:25.deal with problem drinkers more effectively. A more serious device
:07:25. > :07:28.is a drink banning order. After a number of violent drunken incidents,
:07:28. > :07:31.Luke Price was named and shamed when he received the town's first
:07:31. > :07:35.DBO. He was barred from every licensed premise in Mansfield for

:07:49. > :07:57.I live in a pub and I am banned from pubs so that is the worst
:07:57. > :08:02.thing about it. 122 of them? Yeah. And off-licences. Do you think
:08:02. > :08:06.these drink banning orders work? Yes, it is always in the back of
:08:06. > :08:12.your mind. You do not want to be out causing trouble and if you get
:08:12. > :08:16.caught, in my case in Mansfield, I get a �2,500 fine or even a prison
:08:16. > :08:20.sentence. I do not want to go back down there and cause trouble. I
:08:20. > :08:23.want to change, I have learned their lesson.
:08:23. > :08:30.Back in town, it's well after midnight and the police have their
:08:30. > :08:33.hands full. They are dealing with a possible assault on a bus. I need
:08:33. > :08:36.to get a statement from me about the assault.
:08:36. > :08:39.An incident involving a spilt kebab which has turned nasty.

:09:14. > :09:18.dawn. Over the last few years, the crime stats claim to show things
:09:18. > :09:21.have improved, but there's clearly some way to go. I want to find out
:09:21. > :09:24.for myself if this town really does deserve its damaging reputation. So
:09:24. > :09:30.I'm meeting a veteran of the Mansfield club scene and a licensee
:09:30. > :09:35.who's involved in improving night- time safety. You have been running
:09:35. > :09:38.this place for 10 years. How has things change? You have got far
:09:38. > :09:42.more police presence in town. Things have got better. More
:09:42. > :09:47.initiatives put into place. I have worked in the town for over 20
:09:47. > :09:50.years and I can say that the town is no way near as bad as people
:09:50. > :09:55.make out. You have got lots of good people doing good things to make
:09:55. > :09:58.this place better. It really offends me badly when people say
:09:58. > :10:01.that Mansfield has got a reputation because it is not true.
:10:01. > :10:07.Some of these new initiatives include 'street pastors' to calm
:10:08. > :10:10.and care for clubbers. We will be keeping an eye on her.
:10:10. > :10:13.Pubs and clubs going glass-free after midnight to reduce incidents
:10:13. > :10:16.and injuries from broken glass and the removal of slot machine punch
:10:16. > :10:24.bags which the police say added fuel to the flames on Saturday
:10:24. > :10:34.Before we end the night, I'm meeting Councillor Mick Barton who
:10:34. > :10:35.
:10:35. > :10:39.fought hard to close one chaotic This place has a sad history, Paul
:10:39. > :10:43.Stevens lost his life and then it opened again as a different name
:10:43. > :10:48.club. The problems continued. What sort of things were going on?
:10:48. > :10:53.was brought to our attention by the police that there were violent
:10:53. > :10:57.behaviour, assaults, drugs. All sorts of problems. As a licensing
:10:57. > :11:02.authority, they wanted to take action. To withdraw the licence.
:11:02. > :11:05.Does this send a message, do you think was Mike yes, we will not
:11:05. > :11:10.tolerate any misdoings with people's licences. It is safer than
:11:10. > :11:17.it has ever been here. There was a year-on-year reduction regarding
:11:17. > :11:22.the town centre and regarding drugs and alcohol. It is sending out a
:11:22. > :11:24.good message. You can only get this place open if you are running a
:11:24. > :11:26.place like this. Despite the crackdowns, initiatives
:11:26. > :11:36.and goodwill, handling the weekend binge-drinking remains a challenge
:11:36. > :11:39.
:11:39. > :11:42.in Mansfield. You are going to go or get arrested, do you hear me?
:11:42. > :11:48.we enter the early hours, the police are left mopping up the mess.
:11:48. > :11:51.The drunk and disruptive refuse to go home quietly. Stay in the back
:11:51. > :12:01.of the van, because I am getting bored. And the most violent
:12:01. > :12:03.
:12:03. > :12:10.incident of the night happens when You were in shock? I am, really, I
:12:11. > :12:14.So that's Christmas Saturday night in Mansfield. Five arrests and
:12:14. > :12:17.three directions-to-leave. All for alcohol-related behaviour. With no
:12:17. > :12:23.CCTV and no witnesses willing to make a statement, the bus assault
:12:23. > :12:28.claimant drops her charges. The man who randomly hit our cameraman and
:12:28. > :12:31.then ran was caught and cautioned for common assault. And most
:12:31. > :12:34.serious assault of the night led to three men being arrested and bailed
:12:34. > :12:40.pending further investigation. But this town is serious about
:12:40. > :12:42.fighting for its purple flag. An indication of a more family-
:12:42. > :12:45.friendly night out, and somewhere which discourages binge-drinking.
:12:45. > :12:48.The good news, police incidents have halved from the same Christmas
:12:48. > :12:50.Saturday last year, and the man in charge, he's optimistic young
:12:50. > :12:59.drinkers shouldn't be the only people making the most of
:12:59. > :13:05.Mansfield's nightlife. The future for Mansfield is very positive, to
:13:05. > :13:08.be fair. I think it will have its challenges but, with all the
:13:08. > :13:14.agencies and partners working with the police and the council, before
:13:14. > :13:24.too long, people and families will be able to come out into Mansfield.
:13:24. > :13:25.
:13:25. > :13:29.It is exactly a year since four children were killed in a house
:13:29. > :13:32.fire in Derbyshire. Somehow their mother survived and is now having
:13:32. > :13:35.to cope without them. There were smoke alarms in the house, but they
:13:35. > :13:37.weren't working. Derbyshire Fire Service wants people to have them
:13:37. > :13:40.installed and checked. And as Kylie Pentelow's been finding out,
:13:40. > :13:50.they're now pushing for a more extreme safety measure - sprinklers

:14:27. > :14:31.knew anyway. Could this tragedy have been
:14:31. > :14:35.avoided? You could stop almost all fire
:14:35. > :14:40.deaths. Instead of killing 400 people a year, we could be down to
:14:40. > :14:45.zero. You just need to decide how to do it. The we will be finding

:14:58. > :15:08.We can no longer have tragedies happening when there are solutions
:15:08. > :15:14.
:15:14. > :15:20.It was a cold January evening. Four children went home, their mother,
:15:20. > :15:25.Rachel, lit a fire, then the family went to bed.
:15:26. > :15:32.The next thing, the house was full of thick, black smoke. I heard
:15:32. > :15:37.Tommy say, mummy, the house is full of something, and that is when I
:15:37. > :15:44.woke up, because he actually would be. I tried to get the window open,
:15:45. > :15:49.but the smoke was just too thick. I got hold of Tommy and was trying to
:15:49. > :15:53.work out what was going on. I managed to get the window open. I
:15:53. > :15:59.was stood behind Tommy and I picked him up like this, and was trying to
:15:59. > :16:06.push him out the window, but his arms were going like that and he
:16:06. > :16:10.was frightened to go through the window. I was really confused and
:16:10. > :16:14.didn't have enough about me to tell him he had to go out or he would
:16:14. > :16:18.die. Rachel said at the inquest that the
:16:18. > :16:26.next thing she was flying through the air. I do not believe I jumped,
:16:26. > :16:32.she said, maybe I felt. The doctor said how many children
:16:32. > :16:38.were alive? He just shook his head, and I knew anyway.
:16:38. > :16:46.Her hair was burnt off, she had got bruises everywhere. A horrible
:16:46. > :16:51.scratch down one side. It was where Tommy was holding on to her. And
:16:51. > :16:55.she smelled of smoke. That is all you could smell. The it was a
:16:55. > :16:59.horrible thing. Every time you get that smell, that is all I think
:16:59. > :17:04.about. For the blaze was caused by a spark
:17:04. > :17:08.from an open fire. There was no fire guard. There was smoke alarms
:17:08. > :17:12.in the house, but they were not working. Two had not been fitted
:17:12. > :17:19.and the other one had no batteries in it. The fire service said if
:17:19. > :17:23.they were working, the family could have survived.
:17:23. > :17:28.It is one of the worst fires we have had to attend for many years,
:17:28. > :17:33.especially in terms of loss of life. But the general theme throughout
:17:33. > :17:38.fires is the need to have working smoke detectors on every floor.
:17:38. > :17:44.Over the past 18 months, 18 people have died in house fires in
:17:44. > :17:47.Derbyshire. That is the third worst record in the country.
:17:47. > :17:52.Does everybody agree that the smoke alarm is the most important thing
:17:52. > :17:56.in the table? They are trying everything they can
:17:56. > :18:00.to reduce that number, training them young.
:18:00. > :18:09.Wherever you live, you should always have a smoke alarm.
:18:09. > :18:15.Some people get free smoke alarms. I am just going to tested!
:18:15. > :18:20.But now a new, ambitious campaign. The Derbyshire Fire Service wanted
:18:20. > :18:24.to be mandatory for sprinklers to be fitted in every new home. In a
:18:24. > :18:32.dramatic demonstration, they are setting fire to two children's
:18:32. > :18:36.bedrooms. This room has no safety measures. This one has sprinklers.
:18:36. > :18:40.By fitting sprinklers into the home, it is like having a firefighter in
:18:40. > :18:45.every room in your house. Immediately available to respond
:18:45. > :18:50.should there be a fire. The fire start. Then after just a
:18:50. > :18:56.few minutes, the sprinklers activate. In the other room, it is
:18:56. > :19:00.a different story. We are about 12 minutes in a. The
:19:00. > :19:05.fire service has gone in, but there is no chance of survival if a child
:19:05. > :19:09.was inside that room. After the fire, the devastation is
:19:09. > :19:14.clear. But in the room with the sprinklers, there is hardly any
:19:14. > :19:18.difference. The campaign has the backing of former Crimewatch
:19:19. > :19:24.presenter Nick Ross. What a Derbyshire is doing is
:19:24. > :19:28.fantastic. They need to get influence in Whitehall. They do not
:19:28. > :19:34.see a political issue, because deaths have been coming down bit by
:19:34. > :19:41.bit. So they think it is a price worth paying. Derbyshire say it is
:19:41. > :19:45.not. Each one of those is a tragedy. Also watching his Caroline, who was
:19:45. > :19:50.seriously injured in a fire when she was a child.
:19:50. > :19:56.Her sister died. How did it feel watching those fires?
:19:56. > :20:01.It brought it all back, the smell, the sound. It just shows how quick
:20:01. > :20:08.and easy and fast it can happen. One minute everything is normal,
:20:08. > :20:12.the next minute, your house is full of smoke and is on fire. The flames
:20:12. > :20:16.can take over so quickly. What would you say to people who
:20:16. > :20:21.have the power to put sprinklers in new homes?
:20:21. > :20:26.Do it. It will cost some money, but what is more important, money or a
:20:26. > :20:30.human life? It was the deaths of Rachel's four
:20:30. > :20:35.children at that prompted the fire chief into action.
:20:35. > :20:38.As soon as that fire happened, had what a tragedy it was, I took a pen
:20:38. > :20:42.to paper and wrote to the fire minister and said that we can no
:20:42. > :20:46.longer have tragedies like this happening when there is a solution
:20:46. > :20:50.available to prevent it. Smoke detection is required to give it
:20:50. > :20:53.that early-warning, but if you are going to do the job and do it
:20:53. > :20:59.properly, we should have sprinklers installed, because a sprinkler will
:20:59. > :21:02.not only allowed an individual but there is a problem, it actually
:21:02. > :21:07.extinguishes the fire, there for the person has a longer time to
:21:07. > :21:12.escape, and when my fire fighters turn up, they are not putting
:21:12. > :21:16.themselves at so much risk to say somebody else's life.
:21:16. > :21:20.But until there is a change, fire fighters need to be ready for the
:21:20. > :21:30.big blazes. This is where they trained, and I am going inside to
:21:30. > :21:33.
:21:33. > :21:41.see what it is like when your home These might is becoming quite a
:21:41. > :21:47.thick. -- the smoke is becoming quite a thick.
:21:47. > :21:50.We have been in here probably about two minutes. I can see the camera
:21:50. > :21:58.in front of me because of the light, but I cannot see the lens or
:21:58. > :22:02.anything. You really need a plan. If you were Cup in this situation,
:22:02. > :22:10.even if it is your own home, you would not have a clear which way to
:22:10. > :22:15.turn or which way to get out of bed, let alone find a way out a fire. --
:22:15. > :22:21.woke up. Every day is very difficult. I
:22:21. > :22:27.cannot say otherwise, because it is. But it is getting better, at the
:22:27. > :22:31.morning's do not feel quite as harsh now. -- and the mornings.
:22:31. > :22:35.These pictures were taken on Rachel's mobile phone. A
:22:35. > :22:43.firefighter managed to save it from the house. Pictures of their
:22:43. > :22:51.smiling faces, all Rego has left of her four children.
:22:51. > :22:56.When I woke up in the morning, Rocco, he was always on my legs.
:22:56. > :23:02.Alicia, I would always do the girly things with her. I miss Tommy's
:23:02. > :23:05.support. 2012 is, of course, Olympic year.
:23:05. > :23:08.And the Paralympics has been setting personal bests in
:23:08. > :23:12.successive games in terms of profile, especially on these shores.
:23:12. > :23:16.It's why the London Paralympics will be the biggest ever. Richard
:23:16. > :23:26.Whitehead wants to be part of it so much he's switched from marathon
:23:26. > :23:31.
:23:31. > :23:34.running to sprinting. Ross Fletcher's been to see him prepare.
:23:34. > :23:38.He is a world champion and world- record holder. An elite athlete
:23:38. > :23:45.with a training routine to match. And he is the face of TV ad
:23:45. > :23:52.campaigns. Richard Whitehead is Britain's Blade Runner.
:23:52. > :23:55.There's one from the swimming gala. Mum and dad's albums say it all.
:23:55. > :23:58.And that's where he swam his first mile.
:23:58. > :24:01.Right from the start, sport has been a driving force in Richard
:24:01. > :24:06.Whitehead's life. The lad from Lowdham was born without legs and
:24:06. > :24:11.spent a year of his childhood using wooden prosthetics. But despite the
:24:11. > :24:15.obvious challenges, he was always pushing the boundaries. The power
:24:15. > :24:17.of sport pushed a lot of boundaries in the late '70s, early '80s when
:24:17. > :24:20.there wasn't an inclusion spectrum at all.
:24:20. > :24:25.And that really helped me get by and understand what life is all
:24:25. > :24:32.about. I was not given a silver spoon. I was not given everything
:24:32. > :24:35.on a plate. I have had to earn the respect I have now.
:24:35. > :24:41.It was hard at the beginning. But his approach to everything was "I
:24:41. > :24:43.can do it." There were times when I was struggling in certain areas,
:24:43. > :24:47.maybe mobility-wise because of the prosthetics, they're the memories
:24:47. > :24:54.that you bank and put in those boxes, you store for the times that
:24:54. > :25:02.are tough now. It has made me the tough person,
:25:02. > :25:06.the motivated person that I am. Now his daily routine is that of a
:25:06. > :25:10.prospective Paralympic champion. Richard is the current world record
:25:10. > :25:18.holder in the 200 metres in his disability class. But it was
:25:18. > :25:22.marathon running that really got him started. He only took it up in
:25:22. > :25:32.2004. But since he has completed 25 races, running up African mountains
:25:32. > :25:35.and setting a series of landmarks for disabled athletes.
:25:35. > :25:39.My 2004 race was the hardest thing I have ever done in sport. At 26.2
:25:39. > :25:47.miles, it is a long way for an able-bodied person to run, never
:25:47. > :25:50.mind a double leg amputee that has never run a mile before in a race.
:25:50. > :25:52.Richard uses his experience to motivate others, with his talks
:25:52. > :26:01.taking him from schools to big business, and an association with
:26:01. > :26:05.the American army charity Wounded Warriors.
:26:05. > :26:09.Even when he goes to America to talk to the soldiers that have lost
:26:09. > :26:14.arms and legs, not a lot of people could do that. There's got to be
:26:14. > :26:21.that connection with him. Children just follow him like the Pied Piper.
:26:21. > :26:24.Absolutely. "I want to be like Richard." But now his main focus is
:26:24. > :26:29.the Paralympics. Lottery funding allows him access to first-rate
:26:29. > :26:34.facilities. But in just his second season on the track, there is
:26:34. > :26:39.plenty of adjusting to do. The ones with soles are for the
:26:39. > :26:43.road, and these have the base for the track work I do. It is
:26:43. > :26:53.important that I get my running technique right with those. There
:26:53. > :26:57.
:26:57. > :27:01.is less contact with the ground You're on a 1.20 now.
:27:01. > :27:05.This is tough. As an athlete that's used to running 90 miles a week, I
:27:05. > :27:09.am not used to this kind of speed work and the effects it has on my
:27:09. > :27:12.body. The challenge is now to put this
:27:12. > :27:15.world record so far out of everybody's touch that ideally we
:27:15. > :27:19.just want to be waiting at Heathrow for the opposition to land next
:27:19. > :27:29.year, hand them a box of Kleenex, say, "You may as well cry now,
:27:29. > :27:40.
:27:40. > :27:45.because there's not much point in I have to train hard today, so I
:27:45. > :27:47.have to eat well in the morning to set me up for the day. You might be
:27:47. > :27:51.wondering why Richard is not attempting the marathon at London
:27:51. > :27:57.2012. The short answer is he can't. The
:27:57. > :28:00.longest event that caters for his classification is the 200 metres.
:28:00. > :28:04.In New Zealand last year he became world champion and he has since
:28:04. > :28:11.broken the world record. But this summer will be the biggest race of
:28:11. > :28:14.his life. It is not just for me when I race
:28:14. > :28:18.the 200 metres for Great Britain, it is for my family and friends and
:28:18. > :28:24.for everybody that has supported me over the 35 years that I have been
:28:24. > :28:28.here. I will get into that start line in my best shape. If that
:28:28. > :28:38.means I come eighth, that means I have done the best I can. But I
:28:38. > :28:45.
