Good evening. tonight on BBC1 at 10.10 | :00:14. | :00:13. | |
There's a warning from Devon and Cornwall's Police and | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
Crime Commissioner that the force could "go bust" unless | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
Tony Hogg says the constabulary must find new ways | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
And he's also calling for more volunteer effort to help | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
Like all local public services, Devon and Cornwall Police are under | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
They are already considering closing some front desk enquiry offices | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
and are investigating sharing resources with neighbouring Dorset. | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
But further savings still need to be found. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
And in an article to mark the halfway | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
point in his term of office, Devon and Cornwall's Police and Crime | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
We have got to find a furthdr ? 4.1 million's worth of efficiencies | :00:48. | :01:11. | |
That is to seek to balance the budget. | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
That is where we need to get to, we need to be spending the same | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
That is a big challenge for us but it is one Tony Hogg is | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
With the number of police officers in Devon expected to fall to just | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
over 3,000 in the next four years, the Commissioner has also called | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
for volunteers to play a grdater role in keeping the streets safe. | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
He says he can envisage local communities clubbing togethdr to pay | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
for items such as speed limit signs and evdn | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
The Home Office has said the police have had | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
a challenging funding settlement but the reform is working. | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
The Environment Agency has told the BBC its dredging operation | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
on the Somerset Levels is p`st the halfway mark. | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
It brings reassurance for flood victims, but many worry how dredging | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
Millions of tonnes of good darth are being excavated from the riverbed. | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
On the Levels, they have bedn digging up rivers for years. | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
But major dredging stopped in the mid`'60s. | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
After two years of serious floods, the dredgers are back. | :02:19. | :02:26. | |
The likes of David Broster, shifting 700 tonnes of silt | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
When they said we were coming here to dredge this, you know, | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
I am proud to be helping the community. | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
The Environment Agency says dredging of an 8km stretch of river | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
80,000 tonnes of silt has bden dug up and spread in nearby fields, | :02:46. | :02:54. | |
a ?6 million operation demanded by flood victims. | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
It is absolutely marvellous to see it. | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
We have had 20 years of neglect and to see this silt coming out | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
of this river, I am enjoying every bucket that is coming out. | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
The dredgers are using comptters to return the river to | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
Maintaining the river will cost ?100,000 a year, according to | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
No`one's sure yet whether the money will come from. | :03:17. | :03:24. | |
