06/03/2017 Inside Out South West

Hello, and welcome to the programme, which today comes to you from Dover.

Welcome to Inside Out,. You have to put up with that every day. All day,

seven days a week. But the car is the answer?

It has gone right up to the top. I got a telling off there. She is

revving the engine, she has got a warning. The fishermen out at sea

and on drugs. The job is dangerous enough as it

is. Why make it far worse? I tell you what, you do not know what you

have lost. And we discover the literary ghost of a hidden Dorset

village. It is such fun to meet all the people and to learn the history

and you really feel like you are back in time. Hello, I yam gemma and

welcome to Inside Out south west. -- I am Gemma.

The main cause - coal dust from power stations and car exhaust.

As a lung cancer doctor I've seen an increase in cases.

Public concern has forced the Chinese government to begin

investing heavily in renewable energy.

I do not know how it would work. The whole point of the town centre is it

is for the centre. I don't see why people would want to do my Laois

have a tonne to make it less pollution friendly. I can't imagine

anyone along this road wanting to move. Not everyone thinks it is

ludicrous. They might really caters to sit somewhere a bit more proper

spreads and busy, it might not be a bad thing.

However surprising it might be - evacuation was put

Compulsory purchase to move people out or possibly to even demolish a

property which is actually causing to open the road up. In reality, we

think we can solve the problem without taking that ultimate step

that we do not intend to demolish anybody's house.

Camelford is one of seven areas in Cornwall where air

Do you have to put up with that everyday? Seven days a week.

And Andy Shaw has lived here for 40 years.

Has the pollution got worse over the years? The volume of traffic is

terrible. I wonder what your lungs look like. Pretty rubbish. It is

difficult to have a conversation here, even on your front door step.

You can not. But Camelford seems

an unlikely pollution hotspot. Well in no particular

order you've got, a main road, traffic

lights, narrow streets HGVs and in the summer,

it's even busier. That's lots of vehicles

doing lots of revving. When you put your foot on the

accelerator, you are sending a message to the engine, you are

saying I want more power. And to generate tour, it needs fuel and it

needs are. The more feel that it means, the more admissions that it

creates. It is as simple as that. Mark Roberts' company has

designed a device that monitors your engine and helps

you drive in what's known as the sweet spot to

keep emissions down. It uses Formula 1 data analytics to

listen to the engine and get information straight out of the

engine and communicated with you. It has be green, amber and red lights

to show you where in the sweet spot you are. It gives you that audible

nudge when you go towards the edge. It helps you drive in the most

efficient and low emission way possible.

We are coming into town now and my device is telling me that my driving

is perfect. I would not expect anything less. Seems to be driving

to have to read to get up the hill. to have to read to get up the hill.

It has gone right up to the top. She has got a warning because she has

pushed the engine further than perhaps was necessary. I have just

got a telling off there. That told me. She managed to improve their

driving and that is great. Whereas the majority of drivers would have

just kept gunning it up the hill, holding beginner, kicking out more

pollution. I have gone into the orange again.

Lots of pollution as you drive the through town.

Every time we have to pull away at the lights, it is not ideal. 86% in

green but there is a big chunk of Gam Gale amber, 13% in amber, that

is where she would have to give it a lot of gas to get up the hill. That

is where the pollution is caused. People breathing in the fumes are

expect to nitrous dioxide. It is starting to increase now,. This

doctor as an air pollution expert at Plymouth University. Nitrous dioxide

irritates the linings of the airways in the lungs. There are very clear

associations with things like bronchitis in children, increased

rates of asthma in both children and adults. The other one we are really

worried about is ridiculous. They going to the deepest part of the

lungs, they are so small, they can also pass into the blotchy man be

carried all around the body. using these little tubes -

and in Camelford the The council's putting

together a plan to reduce pollution

but all options cost and How much would it cost to buy all

the properties in the street? We asked an estate agent and told us a

cool ?15 million. So if that is not going to happen, what else is on the

table? Everything from better public transport to encouraging cycling is

being considered. Meanwhile, the locals know what they want. Build a

bypass. They should've done it years and years ago. Bypasses can be

costly and controversial also. Remember him? I wrote a letter to my

MP, would I have achieved all this? Would you be here now. Probably not.

The kind of money needed to do this sort of thing is harder than ever to

come by. Certainly a bypass would be vastly more expensive than knocking

down a house. That is going to cost tens of millions of pounds,

something that the government would need to fund and the reality is it

is not going to be happening. The town was exceeding air pollution

limits so the council coughed up, spending nearly

?8 million on a link road Do you think there are less cars

coming down here because of the link rate? A little bit, but no. The

majority comes from Exeter Road. Joan Farley lives in the heart

of Crediton's pollution zone. You can see how filthy this is. That

is black. That is disgusting. You have to do that everyday? Yes.

The latest data from Crediton shows a mixed picture.

In most places pollution has fallen to safe levels.

opposite Joan's house is still recording high amounts

of nitrogen dioxide - although the council says these

I get the blood from my window, when I am walking up the road, I get it

in my throat. -- black. It is not good enough, is it?

So a new road doesn't always work out well for everyone.

Joan gave me two little parting guests. Some whites from her

bathroom window and front door showing there is pollution here. But

frankly my lungs could tell you that. However, the council does the

blood pollution levels have dropped and it is going to take a little

while for the links Road to bed in. And remember that gadget helping me

to drive more smoothly? It reduced my fuel

usage by 8%, saving both people's lungs and my

wallet, although I probably haven't got enough to buy

a whole street just yet. Next night, the Southwest fishermen

often make then living in treacherous conditions. Some of them

are dying at sea and it is not because of bad weather. Occasionally

rain. Occasionally good. This is a picturesque fishing port in Devon.

Offshore, a marine accident recovery operation is underway. Breaking the

water, the deck of the scallop dredger JMP. She capsized on July

the night 2015 just after 3pm in the afternoon. When JMP sang, she took

with a 34-year-old Shane Cooper and 22-year-old skipper Mike Hill. I

went to see his dad, Mickey. At a very young age, used to come to see

with me, loved everything about this scene. He was a good fishermen, I

think he was probably going to be one tops is out there. The Hills are

fishing family. Mickey was at sea, Mike followed in his the steps,

Shane worked for the family business also. Two brothers, very much so.

They talked about things and talked about girlfriends and talked about

everything. And I looked at Shane as being one of my sons as he would

think I was properly his dad. It was only after Shane's body was found,

investigators discovered he had large quantity of amphetamine in his

system. When he was recovered, he did not survive, the postmortem

revealed that he also had traces of amphetamine in his body. The levels

of which indicated that he probably was either using amphetamines when

he was on board the vessel or shortly before the vessel left to go

to sea. Again evidence that to sea. Again evidence that

amphetamine have been used. Michael was a lot younger pinching,

he was the skipper. Would he have allowed Shane on the boat if he knew

he was on amphetamine? He would have chucked him over the side. Michael

has always said amphetamine is cast as a poor man's drug. He would not

have allowed Shane on that boat. He would not have allowed him on that

boat, no. There is evidence to suggest that

the use of drugs at sea is perhaps a larger problem than we had thought a

few years ago. I'm convinced that there is an issue out there and

that issue needs to be addressed. that issue needs to be addressed.

200 miles of the English Channel from Teignmouth, is the fishing boat

of New Haven in Sussex. This is Our Sarah Jane

which is an Under ten In 2009, I filmed out

in the English Channel with her crew for a story

about cod fishing quotas. They were a nice bunch of lads,

a close team used to working long fishing off the Kent and Sussex

coast BUT today she is The drugs amphetamine and cannabis

were found by the Marine Accident Investigations Branch hidden

in his bunk. It is an occupation where

you need to be in control if you take drugs that affects

the way that you behave it's like driving a car if you take drugs

and drive a car there lies madness and disaster it's

no different at sea. Well it was June 9th last year 30

miles off Eastbourne. A rope got tangled

round the propeller. Darren decided he was going

to untangle the rope by jumping He had no life vest on and no

safety rope attached. It was a calm day, it was not cold.

It was a bit choppy but you don't expect it to happen like that. He

said he would go in and we try to talk him out of doing it. The fact

that he thought he could jump into this very cold water against a tide

was Tarzan like, indicating the property with under the influence of

amphetamine at the time. Mark Brown didn't have a clue his

older brother Darren was using drugs whilst at sea. The thirsty head of

it went accident investigators told him what they had found in his bunk.

-- the first he had heard of it. What did they find in his bunk? We

have not found his body. He has lost in the sea. Amphetamine and cannabis

as well. It is not something I was aware he was doing, not something

his daughter was aware he was doing, talking to people he was working

with, they were not aware he was doing it. And that is what we got to

live with, a hero fishermen, a strong, great man to a druggie.

The death of Darren Brown and the discovery

of his drugs on Our Sarah Jane is not an isolated case.

Our research indicates drug use at sea by young fishermen

The Marine Accident Investigation Branch in Portsmouth were first

In the last two years 15% of fishing vessel accidents have

stimulants. They are drugs that will increase alertness, a sense of

wakefulness. But some people a increase their sense of confidence

most jobs, people wouldn't be at most jobs, people wouldn't be at

risk to be using those kinds of drugs. There is a sense that

drug-taking has become a routine rather than an exception so there's

a lot of indicators coming through that showed that perhaps the use of

drugs is a much larger problem than we had ever thought it was. What can

the government agency that polices are fishing fleets do?

We have as a regulator of real responsibility here, professional

seafaring and drug abuse do not mix. Just like driving cars and drug

abuse don't mix. We have got to try and get this sort of consciousness

that is an unsafe practices across the fishing communities through

families, through the seafarers, do the industry as a whole. I think we

can make a difference but we are going to have to do this any

proportionate, measured and sensible way.

The fisher man's mission issues one charity that is gearing up to try

and help educate and support the families of fishermen where drug

abuse may be a problem. We are putting extra Resorts is integrated

training for poor start on drug and alcohol awareness so they can spot

some of the issues. We are also beginning to roll out a programme of

drug awareness for fishermen of all ages but particularly aimed at the

younger fishermen to try to make them aware of the real dangers of

fishing whilst taking substances because, as we said, it is beginning

to show to be a cause of accidents and deaths at sea.

When a fisherman is out at sea, it is a family who is left behind. The

children, the partners and be wise. It is then the government hopes to

education and the help of particular the loved ones and the families, the

mothers, the girlfriends of the fishermen to convince fishermen they

are taking a huge risk by taking drugs when they go to see.

thinking of them. I look at the stars at night and think the

brightest one is my son and that is the way you try to get through

things. I tell you what, you do not know what you have lost until you

have lost it. You have properly never heard of

each children before but every year people travel thousands of miles to

visit one of daughter's most hidden villages. Our reporter tagged along

to find out why. -- Britain. God once drove to East Chaldon

in a delivery van like this one. Although his was a Ford,

and possibly more comfortable. It took place in a novel called

Mr Weston's Good Wine which was one of 70 books written

in the village by Throughout the 1920s

and '30s Chaldon became a magnet for famous authors,

poets, sculptors and artists. It began with the arrival

of an impoverished hermit. Theodore Francis Powys moved

here for a quieter life. At least that's what his

brother Llewelyn tells us. He took his stick from his

chimney-corner and set out to find some unpretentious village,

where he would be altogether Eventually he arrived

at East Chaldon, which very possibly is the most hidden

village in Dorset. Theodore lived here and used

to hide behind bushes when he was out walking,

hoping not to bump into the locals. He also planted onions in his garden

to give the weeping ash Despite his odd manner,

he still proved quite popular. I managed to meet some people

who actually remembered what it was like in the 1920s and

'30s and they remembered Theodore very fondly, being rather hermit

like, he was more or less fully accepted although I think

they thought he was probably a little odd as he was so withdrawn

and given to solitary walks. He did observe the villagers

and he did use them in his writing but fortunately since most of them

didn't read his books he got away with it because not

all the descriptions were very kind. Although Theodore was a private man,

celebrities from New York, London and the South Coast wanted

to meet him, some enjoying Chaldon It was a hive of creative activity,

which also attracted visits from the famous adventurer

and author Lawrence of Arabia. It was surprising how well

they took it really. TE Lawrence, when he visited,

he visited on his motorbike which was called Boanerges and it

made a terrific racket and they didn't like the racket it

made through the lanes. They pretty well accepted it

but they did know it was a little strange I think that it wasn't

happening elsewhere. It wasn't long before

Theodore's younger brother Llewelyn followed to East Chaldon,

dragging his wife Alyse Gregory He'd been diagnosed with TB

and spent much of his time writing essays about Dorset,

outdoors in shelters like this one. Well, I think he slept

in here although It's not exactly hotel

standards is it? and when he was up at the White Nose

he used to sleep in what would have What's it like living

in a place with such a strong link to the past in as much

as you must get people coming up Yes, I have people knocking

on the door and asking, you know,

whether he lived here and yeah... Do you sit here and admire

the view or you're probably I sit here occasionally

but my cat sits Now he's remembered

in the village not just for his writing or odd sleeping

habits, but also for a rather Upon my death ?100 shall be used

to establish a trust and the interest paid

to the nearest public house for free drinks after 7pm

on the 13th August each year. That actually could have

produced 50 or 60 pints of beer which in a small place like Chaldon

would actually have been Every year a society

named the Friends of Llewelyn Powys It's just so much fun to meet

all the people and learn the history and you really feel like you're back

in time to a certain extent and it's You only see these

people once a year so the relationship,

the association becomes I always say at this

point that we're here to remember Llewelyn Powys

and toast his health, but his health is rather

beside the point these days and that it's his memory we

should be toasting. So if everybody could raise

their glasses and remember Llewelyn Powys and thank him

for all the many years of pleasure he's given us

here in the Sailor's Return. Llewelyn loved the Dorset

landscape, which heavily influenced his essays

and other religious writings. Back in the 20s, the landscape was

dangerous. He wrote about his friend who fell to his death near the

close. This place was well selected -

better that it should happen here in one single moment

of desperate consciousness, where the herring gulls

never cease from crying, better in such a place than in

the gambling dens of New York. Nowadays the walk across the cliffs

is a little less perilous, and after a few swift pints

at the pub, the friends of Llewelyn Powys make their way

to his grave on the coast from which he himself is derived,

and you can't be in this area without hearing the echo

of his words all round. The most famous Powys

brother was John Cowper, nominated three times

for a Nobel prize. He spent much of his life

in the States, where some But it's Dorset where

the Powys legacy lives on, and where Llewellyn's wife Alyse

buried him on the cliffs. I feel I'm walking in the footsteps

of my great aunt, she just did things that other

people didn't do... She worked

with trade unions, you know, she was an inspiration

to me because well I'm a feminist too, and maybe behind every great

woman is a great man. Katie had brought a sunflower to lie

on it. Llewelyn's grave sits

on his beloved Dorset coastline, Llewelyn himself, now a permanent

part of the landscape. It's very humbling,

really and it's always, and yet any great artist really just

enriches the world and to know that I'm part of that tradition

is a very humbling thing. And that is all from Inside Out

tonight. We are taking a break for a week because of the football. We

will be back in a fortnight when we meet the community helping a young

man get back her self-confidence. I'll cry... Join me for that and

more in two weeks' time. I will see you then.
