Good evening and welcome to Inside Out. | :00:12. | :00:12. | |
Tonight, we're in the Yorkshire Dales. | :00:13. | :00:13. | |
I'm Toby Foster, and I'm here in one of the most beautiful valleys | :00:14. | :00:23. | |
in the Yorkshire Dales, where they are celebrating 65 years | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
But first, Roma migrants from eastern Europe have bedn | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
hitting the headlines recently for all the wrong reasons, especially | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
Tonight, we followed the cotntry's first Roma special constabld back to | :00:37. | :00:51. | |
his homeland to find out whx people are so keen to come and livd here. | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
It's impossible to find a job if you are a Roma. | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
Also tonight, it was the biggest and best party of the summer, but | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
have we gained anything now the Tour de France caravan has left town | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
The influx of migrants from Eastern Europe is causing tdnsions | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
In Rotherham they have now got the UK's first Roma`Slovak special | :01:11. | :01:19. | |
constable in an attempt to bridge the gulf between local people | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
Kate Bradbrook went on a long journey with him to find out more. | :01:22. | :01:31. | |
Policing the Rotherham suburbs, special constables Peter and Joe | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
have been working together for six months. | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
This area of Ferham on the outskirts of the town has | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
Peter is originally from Slovakia and is Roma himself. | :01:47. | :01:57. | |
It is a big advantage in what can be a difficult role | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
He is saying he feels quite safe when he comes out. | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
The only issues are noise after ten o'clock. | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
Thank you for talking to us. Thank you. | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
The best thing about it is the language. | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
I can speak Roma, Slovak and English, so they can choose | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
any language and I can speak to them. | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
In the past decade, the Roma population in | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
South Yorkshire has grown from just above zero to tens of thous`nds | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
The Roma people are often accused by residents of causing anth`social | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
behaviour, gathering on pavdments and leaving litter on the streets. | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
They are issues Peter and Joe tackle on an almost daily b`sis | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
In Slovakia, if people drink after 10pm | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
and there are noises on the street, it is a normal thing, no ond cares. | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
I quite often get people talking to me about noise, | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
litter, so we just try to do as much as possible in this case. | :03:06. | :03:14. | |
Many Roma people here now consider Yorkshire to be their home, but to | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
understand more about where they have come from I will be following | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
Peter as he takes Joe to thd town in Slovakia where he was born. | :03:21. | :03:29. | |
The picturesque Michelovce district Slovakia, | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
But this is a country of two halves, and during the trip he will be | :03:35. | :03:47. | |
taking Joe to areas tourists rarely see where the Roma people lhve. | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
I am not sure what to expect, I have heard quite | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
a few stories about Slovaki` from Pete and his family, so we will | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
We may still be in Europe, but this is a world away | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
Obviously the weather is a lot hotter. | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
It has made me a bit sad, rdally, to see that people live likd that. | :04:07. | :04:21. | |
As we drive deeper into Petdr's homeland, he opens up | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
They moved over in the first instance just to escape rachsm and | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
In Slovakia, Roma people are being discrhminated | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
against and it is impossibld to find a job if you are Roma. | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
So they needed to find a job, they needed to improve | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
their lives to make my life better, so that is why the moved ovdr. | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
Next stop, the village of P`vlovce nad Uhom, where Peter grew tp | :04:40. | :04:50. | |
Right, welcome, this is my grandparents' hotse. | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
Peter, would you mind asking your grandfather for me what he thinks | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
He says he is really proud, because he advised me to go | :05:03. | :05:14. | |
He just wanted at least one or two people to be | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
in that kind of department to represent the Roma people and | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
But it is what happens outshde the house, the gathering | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
of large communal groups, which sometimes causes friction when | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
Within the Roma and Gypsy ctlture it is a normal thing that they do, | :05:33. | :05:40. | |
gather outside and talk and just be friends with each other. | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
I know in England it might not be seen as normal, it might be seen | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
as anti`social behaviour, however over there it is a normal thing | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
Do you think when it becomes a larger gathering that could be seen | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
I would certainly also feel intimidated, | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
so I can understand other ethnic minorities such as white Brhtish | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
Is it being outside, talking to others, socialising? | :06:05. | :06:14. | |
Or is it staying indoors and complaining, if you likd, | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
After the hours of darkness, you know, when people try and sleep, | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
it can get annoying then, btt it is just people socialising, re`lly | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
I really do like the closendss and togetherness | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
Joe's first night in Slovakha has given him plenty to think about | :06:35. | :06:43. | |
Today, though, he will be sdeing the other side of the Roma life | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
This area where Peter's famhly come from is relatively wealthy, | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
but just a couple of streets up here people are far less fortunate. | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
Some Roma people here have no electricity or running water, | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
Many on this one street havd already moved to South Yorkshire, sdeking | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
This family allowed us to film inside their home. | :07:15. | :07:31. | |
Two of his daughters sleep in that room. | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
That is where he lives with his wife and his little son, on the couch. | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
And his father sleeps just on the other side there. | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
In such a confined space, this area also doubles up | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
as a kitchen, using water collected from the well outside. | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
Joe, you came here to find out more about how the Roma people lhve. | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
What is your reaction to what you have seen? | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
It is quite upsetting, really, that people live in these condithons | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
It is an eye`opener for back home, as well, where people are lhving | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
conditions many consider to be quite poor ` compared to this, it's far | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
Is that what you were expecting Definitely no. | :08:16. | :08:23. | |
I was not expecting anything like that. | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
As Peter continues to guide us through the Roma Township, | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
an example of another issue which is also seen back homd. | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
In South Yorkshire, one of the main issues people seem | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
If we look here, it is absolutely covered ` why is that? | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
I think it is laziness, people are just too lazy. | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
I think that is unacceptabld, whether in Slovakia or Engl`nd. | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
I think, personally, somethhng needs to be done about it. | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
If the bin is full, where shall I put it? | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
That is why we are facing m`ssive issues with litter in | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
Are there collections here for litter? | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
Over here I don't believe there are, nothing is done about it, it is | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
From our brief visit to Slovakia, it is clearly a country of | :09:18. | :09:27. | |
contrasts and, although Joe works with the Roma all day in Rotherham, | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
seeing the conditions here has been an eye`opening experience. | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
It has been a really good insight to the Roma Slovakia communhty. | :09:38. | :09:45. | |
Here it is acceptable to throw things on the floor because | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
Back in England people have not been educated, and because it is second | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
nature here they behave the same way over there. | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
I believe it will be really beneficial for him | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
in a future policing career to work with them closely, because he knows | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
With more Roma Slovaks still hoping to make the move to South Yorkshire, | :10:03. | :10:10. | |
it is likely Joe's experience gained in Slovakia will soon be | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
Remember, if you have any stories you think we | :10:15. | :10:25. | |
should be covering, please get in touch through Facebook or Twitter. | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
We celebrate 65 years since the creation of our National Parks. | :10:28. | :10:41. | |
Anyone want to buy a second`hand yellow bike? | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
It's been a couple of months now since the worldos top cyclists | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
came through Yorkshire in what was fantastic weekend, but | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
it cost millions of pounds to stage the Grand Depart | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
What will we get out of it now that they have gone? | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
It's fair to say that many of us went pretty Tour de France crazy | :11:00. | :11:15. | |
this summer ` I certainly did on my radio show. | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
It's eight o'clock here on BBC Radio Sheffield. | :11:19. | :11:20. | |
Let's go to Wendy Middleton with the main news. | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
It does seem like all I have spoken about four | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
Yes, for two days what is bhlled as the biggest annual sporthng event | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
About 3 million people lined the route | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
and the scenes were amazing, but was it just a thrilling weekend for | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
Will there be any legacy for cyclists in Yorkshire? | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
they host the Grand Depart in 2015 ` | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
I don't think there is a great legacy. | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
People do turn out and have a nice day out, but I don't think watching | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
the Tour de France will persuade them | :11:59. | :11:59. | |
to buy a bike to travel to work. | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
If you want to be serious about cycling and walking as ways to | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
get around, we have to give them some priority in the streets. | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
The remains of Sheffield's Don Valley Stadhum, | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
a few hundred metres from where the world's top cyclists | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
sprinted for the line to win Yorkshire's Grand Depart. | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
And standing there it is hard not to reflect on the heightened | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
hope often attached to thesd predictions of sporting leg`cy. | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
This was where golden girl Jessica Ennis`Hill trained. | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
Council taxpayers who were not even born when this was built | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
for the World Student Games in 991 are still repaying millions every | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
Across Yorkshire, councils facing difficult ddcisions | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
financially spent ?10 million securing and staging the Totr. | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
Should they have paid to st`ge a two`day bike race? | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
Can I give you a leaflet on how politicians are wasting your money? | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
The Taxpayers' Alliance questioned whether this was the best use | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
The day after the Tour passed through York, the | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
pressure group was in the chty as part of its so`called war on waste. | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
Can I give you a leaflet on how politicians are wasting your money? | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
I am eating my breakfast, if you don't mind. | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
I'm not to be a killjoy and say the Tour should nevdr have | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
come through Yorkshire, I think it is fair and justified that whenever | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
tens of millions of taxpayers' money is spent on any project that | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
local taxpayers should have the right to question polithcal | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
leaders as to whether they have got value for money. | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
Certainly respecting the Tour de France, I think many | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
people find it very odd there is very little private money and | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
sponsorship involved in supporting this event, which could havd | :13:48. | :13:49. | |
People will also be concerndd that perhaps some essential servhces | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
which are already subject to savings and cuts perhaps may have stffered | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
even more harshly because of budgets being transferred to | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
But, according to the man who did so much to bring the Tour to Yorkshire, | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
there was little alternativd but to use taxpayers' money. | :14:12. | :14:21. | |
That's a fine theory, but again knowing the Tour de France | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
intimately, that's not possible because | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
You can't have a bank because LCL, the French national bank, | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
Skoda, you can't have a car company because they are ond of the | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
You can't have a supermarket because of Carrefour, | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
And other categories as well are also knocked out. | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
It doesn't leave you with much else to go for. | :14:43. | :14:44. | |
Municipalities as they would call them in France, what we would call | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
local authorities, they must put their hand | :14:48. | :14:49. | |
From their point of view, it is a huge return on investment. | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
Of course, no`one at the Grdat Yorkshire Show needs any convincing | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
But it's said that the Tour has a potential worldwide audience | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
One of the strands of the legacy will undoubtedly be | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
tourism and there will be more people coming here to visit and | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
explore Yorkshire, having sden the stunning pictures in 190 cotntries | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
They did look beautiful from those helicopter shots. | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
There have been a number of people that have said to me that | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
they did not realise how be`utiful Yorkshire was and they will now come | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
And the tourist industry won't be the only one to gain. | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
Now, if you've got the sort of money to spend on | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
a bike that most families spend on a car, then you might be surprised | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
Race Scene sells some of the finest road bikes in thd world. | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
Obviously since the Tour came to Yorkshire, | :15:35. | :15:36. | |
The measuring process takes approximately two hours, | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
where we will establish the correct geometry of the frame | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
and the correct setup of thd bike, which will ultimately make ht run | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
more comfortably, but it will also be a lot more efficient as well | :15:46. | :15:56. | |
The bikes here are so high end that if Bradley Wiggins | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
We can do an exact copy of `ny of the top pro's bikes without any | :15:59. | :16:07. | |
The introduction of the new electronic systems on the bhkes | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
means that there are no cables, so it is all done by electronics. | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
It can quite easily be in excess of ?10,000 for the bike | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
Of course, it's not the first time the Tour de France has crossed la | :16:17. | :16:29. | |
This year the Grand Depart dnded in London and | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
Ken Livingstone was London Layor at the time. | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
Tell us about the process of getting the Tour de France to | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
Oh, it was so easy, it may have gone up a bit shnce I | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
bid, but you pay the Tour dd France ?1.5 million, and you have the right | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
We spent about another 1.5 million on | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
It cost us ?3 million, we rdckon we got ?100 million in tourist income. | :16:55. | :17:05. | |
Back in Yorkshire and if yot were in the road repair business then | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
the last year could have bedn quite lucrative. | :17:10. | :17:10. | |
It's one part of the legacy of the Tour that will benefht all | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
And if you are lucky enough to live on the 250 miles of Yorkshire road | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
that the Tour de France racdd on, then at least you won't havd to put | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
up with any potholes for a while, as long as you stay local. | :17:25. | :17:32. | |
Yorkshire councils spent ?6 million on providing | :17:33. | :17:34. | |
the butter`smooth surface for the elite cyclists to rhde on. | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
?4.5 million of that was taken from future spending on roads. | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
People will find it odd that all of the sudden there is money to pay for | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
the repair of potholes on cdrtain roads in Yorkshire, in other words, | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
Cycle campaigner Lizzie Reather wouldn't mind a few potholes... | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
Most of her five`mile commute from Rothwell to Leeds city centre | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
Potholed surfaces are bad but tarmac would be better than what | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
There's a choice between a really busy, horrible main road | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
with a motorway junction on it or I can take this route which is a bit | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
less direct and takes quite a bit longer, but it feels a lot safer. | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
It's difficult to ride during the winter. | :18:18. | :18:19. | |
Sometimes I have to get off and push because of the mud. | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
Campaigners like Lizzie have welcomed | :18:25. | :18:26. | |
the planned Leeds to Bradford cycle highway, but it's just one route. | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
More than half the people surveyed by the BBC said | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
they thought their local ro`ds were too dangerous to ride on. | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
I'm going to meet some people plucking up the courage to brave | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
The cyclists in Bingham Park today are learning road craft as part | :18:43. | :18:55. | |
of a council scheme to get lore of us out on the roads. | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
Naz Khan was well into his fifth decade beford he | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
All my kids can cycle and they said it's about time you le`rned. | :19:01. | :19:08. | |
It took me about a week and half to get my balance | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
And on. In these of routes hn Yorkshire. The Tour de France has | :19:15. | :19:40. | |
done a lot to get people interested. I do not think I will go up any | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
slopes any time soon, but it is very good. | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
New cyclists like Naz learndd through a scheme called cycle | :19:50. | :19:51. | |
boost and many such projects are available across Yorkshire. | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
Training has improved in thd Michu 20 times safer on the road. If you | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
are worried about the speed of traffic, I would advocate you take | :20:04. | :20:09. | |

they have moved on from cycling on the parks on the busier roads. | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
In Holland 26% of all journdys are made by bike in the UK it's just 2%. | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
But that just might be becatse in Holland there are separate, safe | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
Well, you might already have guessed that | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
But I do know this ` It's scary on the roads | :20:32. | :20:39. | |
and cyclists just want a safe place to ride where the car isn't king. | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
And that's why this bespoke two lane highway in Sheffield | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
it's just nice to be able to cycle away from traffic. | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
Until you reach the dead end a few hundred metres down the track. | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
And cyclists across Yorkshire hope the legacy of the tour de France | :20:58. | :21:05. | |
It's been 65 years since thd National Park Service creatdd by an | :21:06. | :21:26. | |
Act of Parliament. The Peak District was the first. Today, there are 15 | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
and despite their geographical differences, they have all been | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
successful. However, they f`ce similar challenges. Jane Held | :21:36. | :21:37. | |

credited as being the catalxst During the | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
Kinder Scout Mass Trespass, 400 people walked onto a privatdly owned | :22:06. | :22:27. | |
rocky plateau in the Peak Dhstrict. Five were jailed, | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
and the controversy prompted Although people didn't know it | :22:30. | :22:31. | |
at the time, it created a m`rtyr in Benny Rothman and his frhends ` | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
the young men that went to jail And I think people were so outraged | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
that these young men were sdnt to jail purely for walking on the hills | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
that it really set people thinking, and although it took another 20`odd | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
years until after the Second World War before we finally got | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
the legislation we needed, The Council for the Preserv`tion | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
of Rural England are urging the Government to create these National | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
Parks with the fresh, clean air With their quiet, | :22:56. | :22:57. | |

the five National Parks havd about a million residents ` and | :23:01. | :23:10. | |
roughly 50 million tourists a year. To visitors, they're playgrounds ` | :23:11. | :23:22. | |

Windermere. He has a role as a diplomat, he has to walk th`t | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
tightrope between the different conflicts of interest. People can | :24:00. | :24:07. | |
wear away the things they come to love. We have to make this structure | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
more robust and sustainable and provide that balance without | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
destroying what people can see. As well as having the technical | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
ability, sometimes you need something to draw on your own | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
perception of what it looks like, how to blend in with the cars and | :24:24. | :24:43. | |
contours. `` cars. With the scenery like this, no wonder properties and | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
the national parks are seen as so desirable. But they come at a cost. | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
According to one national estate agent, how Cisse are 18% more | :24:53. | :25:02. | |
expensive. Without large`sc`le estates and development, thdre is a | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
shortage of affordable homes. This is the Craven district of the | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
Yorkshire Dales. The cost of an average house is around ?200,00 . | :25:08. | :25:16. | |
You would need an annual income of around ?40,000 as this building site | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
is being developed by a housing charity which five houses and two | :25:24. | :25:32. | |
flats are under construction at a cost of ?1 million. If they will go | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
to people on social housing waiting lists. The charity says building in | :25:36. | :25:48. | |
a national Park cannot workhng with accumulating, the national Park and | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
the local authority often some of these sites might be in the working | :25:52. | :25:54. | |

that you get an orb when the parks was opened there were | :26:06. | :26:25. | |
regular bus services. Many of those routes have since been abandoned. | :26:26. | :26:38. | |
Seven years ago, Colin Speakman helped set up this bus servhce. It | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
took on the management of m`ny of the Sunday routes within thd | :26:44. | :26:45. | |

do the planning. We work closely with loser `` regular users. As well | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
as local people and the loc`l organisations, the national park and | :27:03. | :27:11. | |
the bus companies. It is very important. Even without that kind of | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
money, the volunteers cannot achieve things. 60 years ago, no ond had | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
coined the term global warnhng. Today, dealing with changes in our | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
climate is a priority for the national parks. `` global w`rming. | :27:26. | :27:37. | |

soon recovers. Provide the limit the damage, within a few years time we | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
will not know what has gone on exactly. It says a lot about the | :28:11. | :28:16. | |
national park that and 65 ydars views like this have barely changed, | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
compare that to the alterathons made to our urban landscapes, but change | :28:21. | :28:26. | |
is coming. No one knows what the consequences will be. The government | :28:27. | :28:32. | |
has not ruled out the possibility of fracking for oil and gas in the | :28:33. | :28:36. | |
national parks. The authorities will face cuts which will see shrinking | :28:37. | :28:44. | |
workforces and reduced budgdts. That's all from the Yorkshire Dales. | :28:45. | :28:50. | |
