:00:06. > :00:11.Good evening and welcome to this BBC looking at what Jersey's Budget

:00:11. > :00:18.Thousands of low and middle income earners set to be better off as

:00:18. > :00:25.Jersey's Treasury Minister cuts income tax rates. This budget is

:00:25. > :00:29.designed to give something back income tax rates. This budget is

:00:29. > :00:34.the vast majority of taxpaying public. 84% of people who pay tax in

:00:34. > :00:41.Jersey will see their tax cut. £250 million to be borrowed to pay

:00:41. > :00:44.future? Why millions is going to be taken out of the islands rainy day

:00:44. > :01:04.massive spending plans, but Jersey's Treasury Minister says it does all

:01:04. > :01:07.add up. Today, Senator Philip Ozouf presented his budget to the States

:01:07. > :01:15.and, unlike other years, there was plenty for members to cheer. His

:01:15. > :01:16.main proposals include: Income tax cuts for low and middle income

:01:16. > :01:19.earners. Borrowing £250 million cuts for low and middle income

:01:19. > :01:28.pay for new and re—furbished social million from the rainy day fund

:01:28. > :01:30.pay for new and re—furbished social new hospitals in St Helier. In a

:01:30. > :01:34.moment, I'll be asking the Treasury Minister if he's got his sums right,

:01:34. > :01:37.and we'll look more closely at plans for better social housing and new

:01:37. > :01:44.hospitals. But first Clare Burton explains how the tax cuts and tax

:01:44. > :01:47.Last year's budget was dubbed by the "boring." This year's is anything

:01:47. > :01:50.but, especially if you're among "boring." This year's is anything

:01:50. > :01:56.84% of islanders earning under about £60,000 a year. They'll be paying

:01:56. > :02:08.around £800 less income tax next year. And that's pretty interesting.

:02:08. > :02:11.Hurray! That would be most people 's reaction. It's good, get more people

:02:11. > :02:16.voting as well. That's good for reaction. It's good, get more people

:02:16. > :02:23.I think we should be paying less tax. Jersey is the worst attacks. It

:02:23. > :02:27.will be better for us. Great! But they will get it back in another

:02:27. > :02:30.way, won't they? They'll take it back in another way. There's good

:02:30. > :02:33.news for parents paying for children at university. Their tax allowance

:02:33. > :02:35.is going up to £9,000, saving them over £700 per child per year. And in

:02:35. > :02:38.another change for families, by over £700 per child per year. And in

:02:38. > :02:44.married couples won't be taxed together but independently. Now

:02:44. > :02:47.married couples won't be taxed the tax rises. Duty is going up

:02:47. > :02:49.married couples won't be taxed all the usual suspects. By 11% on

:02:49. > :02:57.spirits and strong beer and cider, follows warnings from the health

:02:57. > :03:00.treating alcohol—related illness. Wines are going up, too, by 5%,

:03:00. > :03:03.treating alcohol—related illness. are weaker beers, adding 2p to a

:03:03. > :03:06.pint. Health arguments again behind an increase in tobacco duty, up

:03:07. > :03:10.pint. Health arguments again behind 11%, putting about 47p on a packet

:03:10. > :03:20.of 20 cigarettes. And fuel's going up a bit, too, by 2%, or 1p a litre

:03:20. > :03:26.of unleaded petrol. Why do the drinkers and smokers have to pay for

:03:26. > :03:38.everything? It's nothing to do with them, is it? It's a lot of money and

:03:38. > :03:47.it's going to hit you. Hit the working class man for his pleasure.

:03:47. > :03:50.Fuel is going up, thank you very much for that. You've done us a

:03:50. > :03:55.Well, those duty rises alone won't cover the income tax giveaway. But

:03:55. > :03:59.if Senator Ozouf has got his figures right, there'll be more money in

:03:59. > :04:01.your pocket, and if you spend it within the island, it could boost an

:04:01. > :04:04.economy that's been languishing within the island, it could boost an

:04:04. > :04:09.recession for five years. And that really is the holy political grail.

:04:09. > :04:14.As well as changes to tax, the big improving the treatment of sewage

:04:14. > :04:20.and building a new hospital. The total bill is £625 million. Some of

:04:20. > :04:22.that money will be borrowed, some will come from the rainy day fund,

:04:22. > :04:26.and some from current spending. will come from the rainy day fund,

:04:26. > :04:28.moment, Christina Ghidoni looks will come from the rainy day fund,

:04:28. > :04:30.the idea for a new hospital but first Tim Robinson looks at the

:04:30. > :04:43.Tuning in to Radio Jersey to hear how the budget statement will affect

:04:43. > :04:48.him. Ray's lived in social housing in Le Squez since 2005. And, like so

:04:48. > :04:57.many social tenants, he's seen the buildings decay and decline for

:04:57. > :05:00.years. There has been no work of any importance done on these places

:05:00. > :05:03.years. There has been no work of any quite a long time. I don't know

:05:03. > :05:08.whether they were left to go because the plans were to knock them down

:05:08. > :05:11.and build new, or what. Ray lives in one of the 1,225 social houses in

:05:11. > :05:16.Jersey which don't currently meet the minimum decent homes standard.

:05:16. > :05:22.So one announcement in today's budget definitely caught his ear.

:05:22. > :05:23.£250m for the housing department to renovating every single one of its

:05:23. > :05:29.below par properties. And build renovating every single one of its

:05:29. > :05:32.new social houses. Families on the waiting list for a States' home

:05:32. > :05:32.new social houses. Families on the have listened eagerly to that news,

:05:32. > :05:41.and there are plenty of them. I have listened eagerly to that news,

:05:41. > :05:47.banned what —— on band one and two, people virtually homeless, living

:05:47. > :05:51.significant medical requirements, it is about 800. This is good news

:05:51. > :05:53.significant medical requirements, it them because it enables us to get on

:05:53. > :05:56.and do the job. Some building is already under way, but the States

:05:56. > :06:01.will have to approve the borrowing of the funding, if the plan to help

:06:01. > :06:07.provide a decent home for all is to This is what Jersey's new £300

:06:07. > :06:10.million hospital could look like. Bigger, brighter and based on two

:06:10. > :06:15.sites with patients getting their own single rooms. The existing town

:06:15. > :06:17.hospital would be rebuilt with new operating theatres and better wards

:06:17. > :06:23.for accident and emergency, children and maternity. Overdale on Westmount

:06:23. > :06:30.will be for routine appointments with no overnight stays here. These

:06:30. > :06:33.six—bedded wards are set to become a thing of the past. There's not much

:06:33. > :06:40.privacy, hardly any dignity and hospital now. But in the future

:06:40. > :06:49.patients could have their own single room and bathroom. With a curtain

:06:49. > :06:55.between two patients, there are odours that get passed along, up and

:06:55. > :07:01.wouldn't want to. The lack of sleep, sleep, if someone is very sick and

:07:01. > :07:05.we have to attend to them very much, the other patients aren't

:07:05. > :07:16.going to get much sleep. The current the ageing population means pressure

:07:16. > :07:19.for hospital beds is growing. The number of people on the island that

:07:19. > :07:24.are going to be over 65 is going to double by 2040 which is going to put

:07:24. > :07:29.huge demands on the health service. We are already seeing that in the

:07:29. > :07:34.winter months which will get worse. We will have all people needing

:07:34. > :07:37.acute services so we have to provide more capacity. Building work would

:07:37. > :07:41.be done in phases so the hospital could still keep running. But the

:07:41. > :07:44.vision is that in ten years time all patients will be treated in a modern

:07:44. > :07:51.hospital which is cleaner, quieter Well, of course all of these plans

:07:51. > :07:58.are just proposals tonight. Jersey's government will debate the budget in

:07:58. > :08:01.Commonwealth finance ministers' meeting in Washington and began

:08:01. > :08:03.Commonwealth finance ministers' asking him what he hoped this budget

:08:03. > :08:08.would achieve. For the last five position, budget which has cut

:08:09. > :08:14.spending and increase taxes. We position, budget which has cut

:08:14. > :08:18.beginning to see growth returning in the Major economies of the world and

:08:18. > :08:21.we are beginning to see signs of economic growth in Jersey. This

:08:21. > :08:24.budget is designed to give something back to them fast majority of the

:08:24. > :08:30.taxpaying public in Jersey. 84% back to them fast majority of the

:08:31. > :08:34.people will see a tax cut. We are targeting relief for parents with

:08:34. > :08:39.children at university, we are putting some increases on duties,

:08:39. > :08:47.and we are setting out for the hospital paid for from the strategic

:08:47. > :08:51.reserve and borrowing for housing, securing long—term interest rates

:08:51. > :08:56.for investment in Jersey housing stock. It is a very positive picture

:08:56. > :09:02.of a Jersey's housing future. We have been in recession, we've seen

:09:02. > :09:11.the economy shrink, we have seen unemployment go up. You are now

:09:11. > :09:15.whether it is you trying to be re—elected next year. This is not

:09:15. > :09:22.the election nearing. This is about investing in Jersey's long—term

:09:22. > :09:26.future. Most ministers presenting their budgets or nay year—end starts

:09:26. > :09:31.in January are dealing with a legacy of debt and deficit. We've make

:09:31. > :09:35.tough decisions in Jersey and now with confidence returning in terms

:09:35. > :09:40.of the financial services industry and the economy, that is certainly

:09:40. > :09:45.going to be a picture that we can only use for the benefit of the

:09:45. > :09:48.future. The budgets of the last only use for the benefit of the

:09:48. > :09:51.years haven't been popular and this will be a more popular budget,

:09:51. > :09:57.giving something back. The economy is still shrinking, though, so what

:09:57. > :10:00.has changed this year as opposed to last year? This is not spend but

:10:00. > :10:06.departments to make substantial last year? This is not spend but

:10:06. > :10:11.in their spending and we've taken £60 million out of the recurring

:10:11. > :10:15.costs of Jersey, and there is more spending efficiencies and more cuts

:10:15. > :10:21.is to come in terms of transferring efficiencies in economy, and putting

:10:21. > :10:30.them into front—line services. generation, but we must remember the

:10:30. > :10:31.amount of people in work, not just in the public sector payroll, also

:10:31. > :10:46.in the public —— private sector in the public sector payroll, also

:10:46. > :10:48.at an all—time high. We do have in the public sector payroll, also

:10:48. > :10:51.interest rates. We haven't got a structural problem with the economy.

:10:51. > :10:55.projection which is more positive as interest rates start returning.

:10:55. > :10:59.Drinkers and smokers are being hit this year but taxes for the middle

:10:59. > :11:04.and low income earners are changing. Is it a case of moving the tax

:11:04. > :11:09.burden from one to another? Not really. We are proposing some duty

:11:09. > :11:17.increases, a penny on a litre of fuel, 2p on the so—called working

:11:17. > :11:23.unexplained differential in the commodities in Jersey. The Treasury

:11:23. > :11:29.calculation is indicate that a working man's pint, that is 84p

:11:33. > :11:33.calculation is indicate that a will have a debate with the alcohol

:11:33. > :11:40.and the tobacco lobby on why it will have a debate with the alcohol

:11:40. > :11:45.commodities are so high. These are modest duty increases but they are

:11:45. > :11:58.necessary. Overall, this is an Guernsey's budget for 2014 comes out

:11:58. > :12:02.tomorrow. Last year's contained rises on fuel, alcohol and tobacco,

:12:02. > :12:04.as well as the proposed scrapping of mortgage interest relief that was

:12:04. > :12:07.eventually reversed. Senior figures in the island's business community

:12:07. > :12:10.are calling for a cautious budget. We've got to make sure there is

:12:27. > :12:33.you is with David Earl Good evening. We've got a little bit more time

:12:33. > :12:39.before we need to dig out that extra layer. It is a slow process, very

:12:39. > :12:44.muddy at the moment, but it does tomorrow. There are a few showers

:12:44. > :12:49.dotted around and also becoming breezy, especially by the end of the

:12:49. > :12:53.day. We are losing the area of high pressure, moving back out into the

:12:53. > :12:55.Atlantic. This first or the system doesn't have much on it but it keeps

:13:17. > :13:19.position, we get into northerly tonight, some patchy rain by the end

:13:19. > :13:28.of the night. Overnight temperatures no lower than 11 or 12. Tomorrow, a

:14:21. > :14:25.feeling colder, then turning damp and quite windy and cold as we head

:14:25. > :14:32.into the weekend. That is all from Into autumn we go. Let me know what

:14:32. > :14:34.you think about Jersey 's budget proposals by tweeting me. I am back

:14:34. > :14:50.to be taking part in the Horse of the Year Show.

:14:50. > :14:54.A bitter row has erupted over a planned development on the outskirts

:14:54. > :14:58.of Truro. The City Council is being accused of wasting taxpayers money

:14:58. > :15:01.fighting the plans. But the local authority has hit back, accusing the

:15:01. > :15:10.development company of "emotional blackmail'" Spotlight's Rebecca

:15:10. > :15:15.Wills has the story. This site on the outskirts of Truro

:15:15. > :15:19.has become a battlefield in the war of words which has broken out

:15:19. > :15:24.between the company which wants to develop it and Truro City Council,

:15:24. > :15:28.which is seeking a legal challenge to the outline planning permission

:15:28. > :15:32.granted a few months ago. Back in July, Cornwall Council approved an

:15:32. > :15:38.application from the company for 1,500 new homes, a primary school,

:15:38. > :15:44.care Village, community centre, hotel and 600 space extension to

:15:44. > :15:51.three mile —— park and ride. But the council is now seeking a judicial ——

:15:51. > :15:58.would judicial review of the scheme. I think they are using emotional

:15:58. > :16:02.blackmail, because they are trying to get everybody in tribute to

:16:02. > :16:07.believe we could be missing out on affordable housing. We want to see

:16:07. > :16:15.that, we want to see it in Truro, not in green fields were —— miles

:16:15. > :16:16.away from anything. The company declined to be interviewed, but in a

:16:16. > :16:44.statement the company said: there was a mixed reaction to the

:16:45. > :16:49.plans. Who has got the money in this day and age to go out and pay for

:16:49. > :16:53.them? I don't think it is a bad thing it is being developed, as long

:16:53. > :16:58.as the infrastructure is there. That road is always busy enough as it is.

:16:58. > :17:05.The traffic problem will be the main thing. You put more homes on that,

:17:05. > :17:11.1,500 homes is virtually 3,000 cars. But these opening salvos

:17:11. > :17:15.between developer and council could be just wasted words. The judge has

:17:15. > :17:19.yet to decide whether that are grounds for a judicial review. That

:17:19. > :17:23.decision is pending. As austerity measures start to bite,

:17:23. > :17:26.one area of the South West is set to lose almost half its public toilets

:17:27. > :17:30.and all of the council—run CCTV cameras. Teignbridge Council has

:17:30. > :17:33.decided it can't afford to run these services any more. It's hoping local

:17:33. > :17:42.groups and parish councils will take them on instead. Our South Devon

:17:42. > :17:46.reporter John Ayres reports. We all need to spend a penny from

:17:46. > :17:52.time to time. In Teignbridge it might not be so easy. 17 public

:17:52. > :17:56.toilets could close if no one comes forward to run them. It is more

:17:57. > :18:01.important to keep the toilet rather than save a bit of money. You have

:18:01. > :18:12.the playground over there with lots of small children. It is a right to

:18:12. > :18:16.be able to go to the toilet. It is a matter of hygiene. Today the council

:18:16. > :18:21.scrutinised its own decision to stop the funding. It has decided to press

:18:21. > :18:27.ahead with the cuts. Closing public toilet is an emotive issue. One

:18:27. > :18:36.councillor held up toilet paper and told councillors to bring them ——

:18:36. > :19:03.bring their own. And it was not just toilets. The

:19:03. > :19:04.plug could also be pulled on CCTV, affecting Newton Abbot in

:19:05. > :19:07.particular. Its supporters insisted provides vital evidence for the

:19:07. > :19:10.police. When they turn up, have you got CCTV and there is no CCTV, my

:19:10. > :19:12.answer would be no, and it will be difficult to get a prosecution. I am

:19:12. > :19:15.mystified as to whether this decision was taken, and in my view

:19:15. > :19:18.it is completely the wrong one. The council will not raise council tax.

:19:18. > :19:21.It is forced to make cuts. We have seen our Government grant shrink

:19:21. > :19:26.from 49% to little more than 4%. And we have got to take a look at all

:19:26. > :19:31.our facilities in a measured and sympathetic manner, to see if we can

:19:31. > :19:36.find any cost savings. This toilet might be saved if the

:19:36. > :19:40.parish council takes it over. The other toilets and CCTV services will

:19:40. > :19:44.only survive if other bodies do the same.

:19:44. > :19:48.A new business park in Plymouth, which could create up to 300 jobs,

:19:48. > :19:51.has opened its doors to prospective tenants. The Burrington Business

:19:51. > :19:55.Park is on the former Mother's Pride bakery site which closed last year.

:19:55. > :20:04.Developers hope to turn it into a thriving centre for up to 40 new

:20:04. > :20:09.businesses. Scott Bingham reports. Nick has been running his letting

:20:09. > :20:13.management company for nine years. He currently works from home but is

:20:13. > :20:16.looking to expand. Today as a prospective tenant he got the first

:20:16. > :20:23.chance to look around this new business park. Relocating here, he

:20:23. > :20:27.hopes, will allow him the space to grow and potentially create more

:20:27. > :20:31.jobs. We have been trying to find a suitable alternative to working from

:20:31. > :20:37.home. This was just presented to us as an option. We think it will be

:20:37. > :20:40.good for our clients when they come up here and see us rather than

:20:40. > :20:45.having to beat for a coffee or come round to the house. This is one of

:20:45. > :20:52.the huge spaces here. The developers hope once it is refurbished, this

:20:52. > :20:56.entire site, or 110,000 square feet of it, will be home to around 40

:20:56. > :21:00.businesses employing some 300 people.

:21:00. > :21:06.This neighbouring property is already home to 30 small businesses,

:21:06. > :21:12.and one —— part of the same team snapped up the site next door. It

:21:12. > :21:19.was perfect for our business model, which is to refurbish to a very high

:21:19. > :21:23.standard and attract a mixed use of interesting businesses into the

:21:23. > :21:28.park. Despite the economy, they are confident they can fill the park as

:21:28. > :21:32.well. It is difficult at the moment, but you have to offer something

:21:32. > :21:37.different and keep standards that people expect in the commercial

:21:37. > :21:41.market. This small corner of Plymouth seems to be thriving. A

:21:41. > :21:44.growing call centre already provides a steady stream of customers to the

:21:44. > :21:50.snack bar, and they are looking forward to a few more. Is this the

:21:50. > :21:56.busiest you have seen it? Absolutely, it is growing and

:21:56. > :22:01.growing. My mother has bought a Mercedes. So business is good?

:22:01. > :22:07.Honourable lady yes. The business park will feature a free gym to keep

:22:07. > :22:14.staff in shape, but it might bring, —— competition to. Plans also

:22:14. > :22:17.include an upmarket coffee bar. Exmouth sailors Stevie Morrison and

:22:17. > :22:20.Ben Rhodes have announced an end to their 12—year sailing partnership.

:22:20. > :22:24.The pair, pictured here training in Portland Harbour, race a 49er skiff.

:22:24. > :22:29.They won the world championships in 2007, but never quite managed an

:22:29. > :22:32.Olympic medal. They say they now want to explore new opportunities

:22:32. > :22:44.outside of the Olympic sailing classes.

:22:44. > :22:47.A young rider from Devon has qualified for the Horse of the Year

:22:47. > :22:50.Show in Birmingham. Harry Edwards—Brady is, according to his

:22:50. > :22:53.mum, a natural in the saddle and loves competing. And what's most

:22:53. > :23:01.remarkable is he's only three years old, as Leigh Rundle reports.

:23:01. > :23:06.Horses are in Harry's blood. He has loved them ever since he was a few

:23:06. > :23:12.months old. Now he is off to one of them UK's most big —— prestigious

:23:13. > :23:18.equestrian events. Are you excited? Yes. When you are three, it is easy

:23:18. > :23:21.to get distracted, particularly if there are tractors around.

:23:21. > :23:29.But when it really matters, Harry shines. I was just totally amazed,

:23:30. > :23:33.and just so, so proud of him. To have done so well that such a young

:23:33. > :23:39.age in such good competition as well.

:23:39. > :23:45.Having tasted success at other events around the country, the

:23:45. > :23:49.toddler is ready for the next stage of his riding career. I've ever

:23:49. > :23:55.accusations it is a pushy mother behind his success? He would

:23:55. > :24:04.probably end up going to show every day if he could. He loves competing.

:24:05. > :24:10.Horses are all very well, but it is good to develop other skills and

:24:10. > :24:14.keep your career options open. Isn't she cute? He is a star! ——

:24:14. > :24:30.isn't she cute? Are you putting your heating and

:24:30. > :24:34.yet? Don't even mention it! There is a change. Colder area is coming our

:24:34. > :24:40.way. I might put my heating and to keep

:24:40. > :24:45.the house warm. It turns colder over the next 24 hours. Our risk of

:24:45. > :24:48.showers tomorrow, and it is the combined effect of lower

:24:48. > :24:53.temperatures, a bit more of a breeze, so the wind chill will be

:24:53. > :24:59.more of a feature. Lots of cloud on the satellite picture. This is the

:24:59. > :25:03.colder air coming down. That clearer sky brings the drop in those

:25:03. > :25:08.temperatures. At the moment we have a weather system across us. Drizzle

:25:08. > :25:12.and low cloud a problem this evening, but it will move out of the

:25:12. > :25:15.way and then we are between weather fronts by the middle of the day

:25:15. > :25:19.tomorrow. The second of those comes in through the afternoon, early

:25:19. > :25:25.evening, so by the time we get to tomorrow night it will be much

:25:25. > :25:28.colder, and by Thursday, a chilly northerly breeze. Temperatures much

:25:28. > :25:35.lower than they have been this autumn. Looking at that in detail,

:25:35. > :25:41.it is another drizzly evening with low cloud, mist and fog. It is

:25:41. > :25:45.beginning to clear though. Becoming drier, still a few fog patches here

:25:45. > :25:51.and there, and overnight temperatures probably down as low as

:25:51. > :25:58.ten or 11 degrees. Winds becoming north—westerly, they will freshen up

:25:58. > :26:02.during the day. That is how the day starts tomorrow, but as we move

:26:02. > :26:06.through the day we start to see the colder air come in. There will be

:26:06. > :26:11.sunshine tomorrow around the middle of the day. Showers developing, and

:26:11. > :26:15.towards the end of the afternoon another line of showers coming out

:26:15. > :26:20.of south Wales will drift in. Between the two we will see a brisk

:26:20. > :26:26.north—westerly breeze developing, holding the temperatures down. Last

:26:26. > :26:30.week we had temperatures of 19 and 20 degrees, for tomorrow 15 or 16 I

:26:30. > :26:33.think will be the best we can expect. With that brisk North West

:26:33. > :26:40.wind it will feel quite a bit colder. For the Isles of Scilly, a

:26:40. > :26:50.few showers and quite breezy. Times of high water.

:26:50. > :26:56.The surf conditions on the south coast will be quite clean, two to

:26:56. > :27:01.three feet here, but between four to six feet and quite choppy on the

:27:01. > :27:09.north coast. The forecast for the coastal waters,

:27:09. > :27:18.then. The wins north—westerly. —— the wins. Generally very good

:27:18. > :27:21.visibility out at sea. The forecast for Thursday is bright and drive. A

:27:22. > :27:29.few showers possible across West Cornwall, similar conditions on

:27:29. > :27:33.Friday, and then cold, breezy, with some outbreaks of rain for the start

:27:33. > :27:38.of the weekend. We have been very lucky up until

:27:38. > :27:44.now. It had to turn colder sometime soon. I don't believe David will put

:27:44. > :27:46.his heating and yet, he is meaner than I am! Good night.
