:01:02. > :01:03.dangerous places to cycle ottside of London. What can be done to improve
:01:04. > :01:08.everybody's safety? Portsmouth?s roads can be
:01:09. > :01:14.a battleground. Tempers are frayed
:01:15. > :01:33.between cyclists and motorists. Drivers are very aggressive. There
:01:34. > :01:35.are times when I think I must have an invisible cloak on.
:01:36. > :01:47.Not wearing visible closing. Putting you off. That is what cyclists do.
:01:48. > :01:53.Or is it the road system that?s just not up to it?
:01:54. > :01:58.There are a of people trying to get out the city.
:01:59. > :02:02.New figures suggest Portsmotth?s one of the most dangerous cities
:02:03. > :02:19.You take your life into your hands every time you cycle in Portsmouth.
:02:20. > :02:22.Rob Allen?s been cycling since he was boy, it?s not just his
:02:23. > :02:35.But last year in Cosham, he faced what any cyclist dreadd.
:02:36. > :02:41.I was coming towards the lights at about 18 mph. There was a sheer
:02:42. > :02:45.panic. It was really going to hurt. Rob was thrown
:02:46. > :02:58.from his saddle onto the car bonnet Concussion in for two weeks, damaged
:02:59. > :03:03.shoulder, had video on that. If I was not wearing a helmet I would not
:03:04. > :03:10.be here today. `` had physiotherapy on that. I feel like I have
:03:11. > :03:14.regressed back to going slow and being like a novice on a bicycle.
:03:15. > :03:16.Rob?s one of 7,000 people in Portsmouth who commutes
:03:17. > :03:23.The number's going up, which is great for the environment
:03:24. > :03:28.but it?s putting more presstre on the city?s cycling network.
:03:29. > :03:34.I?ve been invited out for a ride with the Portsmouth Cycle Forum
:03:35. > :03:41.On the way, we find cycle p`ths that don?t seem to make much sense.
:03:42. > :03:46.This is great infrastructurd that ends abruptly. We have a cycle lane
:03:47. > :03:51.where you are confronted with a parked car when you go round the
:03:52. > :03:56.corner. What is the matter with this one? The cycle root causes xou to
:03:57. > :04:01.turn left, which is where the cars are expecting you to go, but you
:04:02. > :04:05.either have to get into the space designated for cars were right
:04:06. > :04:18.across the hatch, neither of which cyclists are going to expect you to
:04:19. > :04:25.do. This is one of the most popular streets here. This glory has pulled
:04:26. > :04:28.up here to go into the shop and have completely blocked the cycld lane as
:04:29. > :04:40.a cyclist have to write out into the traffic. Portsmouth is flat, compact
:04:41. > :04:45.and easy to get around, but in order to make it a safer place for
:04:46. > :04:46.cyclists, a lot of money will have to be spent.
:04:47. > :04:49.Portsmouth City Council?s pledged ?2.5 million to improving things.
:04:50. > :04:51.Some junctions and bike lanes will be made safer
:04:52. > :04:54.and 20 miles per hour speed limits have already been introduced.
:04:55. > :05:00.The council accepts that right now, cycling can be difficult.
:05:01. > :05:06.We are looking to address that. There have been lots of
:05:07. > :05:11.infrastructure, we head eng`ged with cyclists, and they help guide us,
:05:12. > :05:15.and we will cycle these routes with these local pressure groups, and as
:05:16. > :05:19.and when we are able to fachlitate an improvement, we will.
:05:20. > :05:22.Government figures show last year in Portsmouth there were 906 cxcling
:05:23. > :05:24.accidents reported to the police per million of the population.
:05:25. > :05:30.Only London and Hull fared worse in the whole country.
:05:31. > :05:34.Portsmouth City Council says the rate is higher because cyclhng?s so
:05:35. > :05:41.popular here, but there?s concern its becoming more dangerous to ride.
:05:42. > :05:48.She has been knocked off of her bike when she has been riding to school.
:05:49. > :05:53.She has been knocked off her bike by the lollipop lady. No, we wdre by
:05:54. > :06:01.the lollipop lady! A car spdd round the corner to click and she got the
:06:02. > :06:05.truck wrote round the corner to quickly `` a car sped round the
:06:06. > :06:13.corner to quickly and not hdr off her bike. It has got to be lade
:06:14. > :06:18.safer. We have got to get the roads back for pedestrians, cyclists and
:06:19. > :06:23.other road users. I wish thdre were more cycle lanes. It is the perfect
:06:24. > :06:29.city for it because it was so flat `` is so flat. There were lots of
:06:30. > :06:32.cycling lanes, I don't understand why we don't have them here.
:06:33. > :06:36.I?ve come to the transport research laboratory
:06:37. > :06:40.near Reading to try out somd Dutch style roundabouts, which thd lab is
:06:41. > :06:53.I like the fact that no cars can park there in the cycle land. This
:06:54. > :06:58.is good. The behaviour that road users follow is often very luch
:06:59. > :07:03.driven by the lay the art presented with. In the UK, we tend to have
:07:04. > :07:08.layouts that encourage highdr turning speeds, we tend to have
:07:09. > :07:11.layouts that don't give priority to cyclists or pedestrians. Laxouts are
:07:12. > :07:15.more commonly used in the Netherlands by their very gdometry
:07:16. > :07:21.flow of the vehicle down, they position drivers so that thdy can
:07:22. > :07:29.see pedestrians were clearlx, and this makes it safer and givds more
:07:30. > :07:31.space to cyclists. It is just the separation, this safety barrier
:07:32. > :07:37.between motor vehicles and cyclists. The big question is, is there enough
:07:38. > :07:41.space in places like Portsmouth or road layouts like this? Obvhously,
:07:42. > :07:44.it is bigger than a standard roundabout, and if you are dealing
:07:45. > :07:51.with a city which has already been built and has narrow streets, this
:07:52. > :07:57.design may not be suitable. We have to be realistic. Where we c`n and we
:07:58. > :08:03.have the space we will look to put in more engineering measures and
:08:04. > :08:08.create more space for cyclists. The reality is, we cannot knockdd houses
:08:09. > :08:12.down. It is the streets, thd pavement, terraced housing, we have
:08:13. > :08:18.no public land available to encourage into. I would not expect
:08:19. > :08:23.Portsmouth to become a Millhe `` miniature Hollande by next xear but
:08:24. > :08:28.it is a realistic aspiration for ten years time. In the short term,
:08:29. > :08:29.Portsmouth needs to look at how it can make some changes to junctions
:08:30. > :08:33.to make cyclists safer. Of course, the debate about cycling
:08:34. > :08:35.goes way beyond Portsmouth. In Bournemouth
:08:36. > :08:37.the safety record is improvhng, but the decision to lift a ban
:08:38. > :08:40.on cycling in some pedestri`nised areas has been controversial
:08:41. > :08:54.and reignited the argument `bout You always get those idiots that
:08:55. > :08:57.think they can cycle about 80 mph through the centre of town when
:08:58. > :09:01.there are people walking here. They have no respect for pedestrhans I
:09:02. > :09:05.am all for cycling but they should respect us and that more and not
:09:06. > :09:09.nearly knocked you over. Thd problems come from cars and all of
:09:10. > :09:13.the congestion and noise and pollution. There is no room on the
:09:14. > :09:20.roads for the cars and diving cycling is good. It can be
:09:21. > :09:26.dangerous. `` and acting cycling is good. It can be dangerous and it is
:09:27. > :09:29.frightening sometimes. If everybody practiced consideration and care for
:09:30. > :09:34.each other and respect for dach other, cyclists and pedestrhans can
:09:35. > :09:39.get on brilliantly. Nationally, the Department for Transport saxs it has
:09:40. > :09:44.doubled funding for cycling to help deliver safer junctions. For all
:09:45. > :09:53.cyclists on the south roads, those improvements cannot come soon
:09:54. > :10:01.enough. And weather you are on two or four wheels, I would lovd to hear
:10:02. > :10:11.from you. Next, Britain is facing a housing crisis. It is time to find
:10:12. > :10:24.out what this means for an `lready overcrowded cell. `` salve. ``
:10:25. > :10:31.It?s the most expensive place in the country to live.
:10:32. > :10:34.According to a Lloyds bank survey, average houses in Oxford cost
:10:35. > :10:37.And that means people like Debbie Hollingsworth can nehther
:10:38. > :10:42.She?s had to move time after time, chasing a home
:10:43. > :10:45.This is my seventh address since 2008.
:10:46. > :10:54.a roof over your head is ond of your basic needs. This is without the
:10:55. > :10:59.bills? I don't even earn th`t, not even half of that. They are driving
:11:00. > :11:08.out a core of people that you think, who will do that work? Becatse if
:11:09. > :11:11.care workers and nurses and teachers, because they are `ll
:11:12. > :11:16.starting to fall in that br`cket or they are having to move further
:11:17. > :11:22.out. They have been pushed out of the margins. At some point, they
:11:23. > :11:24.will get so pushed, the travel is going to outweigh the cost of coming
:11:25. > :11:29.into the city. The answer says the governmdnt is to
:11:30. > :11:32.build more houses ? lots of them ? and lots of peopld agree,
:11:33. > :11:43.but not about where they should go. We need about a quarter of ` million
:11:44. > :11:50.homes being built in England as a whole, Yere in and year out. We are
:11:51. > :11:54.on the building about 120,000, 150,000 homes at best, and that
:11:55. > :11:56.means that year on year on xear the housing shortage gets worse.
:11:57. > :12:02.It?s a problem Oxford city council more than recognises.
:12:03. > :12:04.They?re signalling there cotld be a need to invade
:12:05. > :12:15.Oxford city itself is one of the most important drivers of growth in
:12:16. > :12:23.the nation. We have the factory on the one hand and Oxford entdred the
:12:24. > :12:26.truck wrote and Oxford Univdrsity on the other `` and Oxford University
:12:27. > :12:33.on the other. Oxford city itself is a very tightly bounded local
:12:34. > :12:39.authority, and the land for growth to meet more housing is acttally
:12:40. > :12:43.outside the boundaries of Oxford city. Oxford city knows it needs
:12:44. > :12:50.more housing. The adjacent authorities, with the exception of
:12:51. > :12:54.Chartwell and Mr, don't really recognise the need for more housing,
:12:55. > :13:00.so they are seriously constrained, and if he tried to move to Oxford
:13:01. > :13:04.city, buy a house in Oxford city, you will find the results of that,
:13:05. > :13:13.this limits on housing growth, they are very severe. The need to build
:13:14. > :13:19.is putting pressure on towns across the South.
:13:20. > :13:39.This land is due for development and this stretch, there also a planning
:13:40. > :13:46.application for it. That brhngs the development land right up to the
:13:47. > :13:55.start of the village. There are going to be a lot more people. We
:13:56. > :14:00.are worried that the single`track road through the village will be
:14:01. > :14:10.used as a wraparound. There are going to be for hundreds, m`ybe 600
:14:11. > :14:15.houses between us and Farringdon. That virtually results in
:14:16. > :14:17.destruction of the village. With an astonishing 93% of Britain
:14:18. > :14:20.not built on, organisations like the Camp`ign for
:14:21. > :14:24.Rural England have been acctsed of ignoring the scale of housing need
:14:25. > :14:40.when fighting plans for devdlopment They view is we should not be using
:14:41. > :14:44.the easy option of building on very valuable greenfield sites bdfore we
:14:45. > :14:49.have properly explored all the other alternatives, including Brownfield
:14:50. > :14:55.sites, empty films and we should really be taking more care of our
:14:56. > :14:59.valuable agricultural land `nd countryside. There is a dem`nd for
:15:00. > :15:03.housing now, people cannot wait any longer. If you take Oxfordshire for
:15:04. > :15:07.example Roma the demand is hnfinite might you could build as many houses
:15:08. > :15:12.as you like and because of our proximity to London, it is very
:15:13. > :15:17.unlikely to bring the crisis down so we are not going to create ` big
:15:18. > :15:19.store of affordable housing which is what is really needed. You're
:15:20. > :15:22.sacrificing the countryside without solving the problem.
:15:23. > :15:24.Villagers too are accused of nimbyism
:15:25. > :15:27.when they try to battle devdlopment, but they say a whole way of life
:15:28. > :15:46.The electricity pit on the other side of the barn. We have a very
:15:47. > :15:56.ancient Village year. It is pre`doomsday. We have a verx strong
:15:57. > :16:04.village identity, largely bdcause we are small enough that everybody
:16:05. > :16:13.knows everybody else, prettx much. This means that if people nded help,
:16:14. > :16:22.they normally get it. So, wd have a very strong sense of communhty. We
:16:23. > :16:28.are blessed with that. It is a pedestrian precinct here because
:16:29. > :16:31.there is no through traffic and that makes a big difference to the
:16:32. > :16:42.quality`of`life on the way that people communicate with each other.
:16:43. > :16:48.I think people are rabid afraid The place that the houses would be is
:16:49. > :16:54.between Farringdon and the village and so it would cease to be a
:16:55. > :16:59.village and we would become, to me, a sad place. You see them a lot

:21:55. > :21:58.friends left behind in France, about to be overwhelmed by the Nazis. I
:21:59. > :22:02.don't think she had a huge game plan. She was doing this by instinct
