That is all from us. There is a first look at the | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
That is all from us. There is a Good evening. A new report claims | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
air pollution is a factor in the deaths of around 500 people in | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire every year. Nationally, Public | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Health England says poor air quality plays a part in one in 20 ddaths. It | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
wants councils to do more to cut pollution in towns and citids ` | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
including creating more gredn spaces. | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
They've been called the invhsible killers. Dangerous gasses lhke | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
nitrogen dioxide pumped frol vehicles. Now the government agency | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
Public Health England says `lmost 6% of deaths in Oxfordshire and | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
Buckinghamshire were caused by air pollution ` that's 490 lives lost. | :00:45. | :00:57. | |
Your pollution is a contribtting factor, it is not a single factor. | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
It will exacerbate respiratory or cardiac conditions. The findings | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
come from analysis carried out in 2010, so what do people makd of it? | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
It's quite staggering, really surprising. You can see the dust, | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
everyday, it's on the windowsill is. | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
Green campaigner Elise Benj`min is also worried by the news and says | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
not enough is being done by the council she sits on to protdct | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
people. Years of monitoring with no action | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
is not going to change anything It is absolutely shameful that 25, 00 | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
deaths a year are being ignored Something needs to be done now. | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
The air in Oxford is getting cleaner partly because there are more | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
eco`friendly busses and cars are on the road and the council saxs it | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
won't stop making improvements to air quality. | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
We've got to take this seriously, we should not be alarmist, but we have | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
two steadily pared down on pollution of all sorts. If we can takd some of | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
the big lorries out of the centre, that'll be a step in the right | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
direction. Air pollution isn't just down to | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
cars, but green campaigners say banning them in large parts of the | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
city will improve air quality. Tom Turrell, BBC South Today. | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
A man from Abingdon has been jailed for 15 years for a series of sexual | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
assaults on two children. 71`year`old Terry Haynes has been | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
convicted of 12 counts of r`pe, 11 indecent assaults and one attempted | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
rape. An operation to crack down on rogue | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
traders in Oxfordshire is under way, targeting builders and other workers | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
charging hugely inflated prhces for completing substandard jobs. Last | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
year nearly a million pounds was paid out to rogue traders, often by | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
elderly people. Stuart Tinworth has the story. | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
Operation spring clean in action. Officers out in West Oxfordshire | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
looking for traders who are seeking to con on the doorstep. It's not | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
long before known rogues ard identified on the team's colputer. | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
With a number being spotted making their way to Witney, en route our | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
team pick up on a suspicious trader in nearby Charlbury. | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
We're just having a look around and having a chat to some peopld. Have | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
you got any paperwork? Although his paper work is in order, he hs in | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
breach of regulations. Any carries any waste, they need a | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
licence. This person is aware of that, so we have given him ` verbal | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
warning. He is aware that if he does not get registered he could be | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
prosecuted. Back on the road, a second team have identified another | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
suspect. He's driven from Bloxham to Witney with a lorry of gravdl. He's | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
been brought to this weigh bridge where he's going to be inspdcted. | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
It one of the vehicles that was of interest to us, so they havd rotted | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
to the weighbridge. I have waited, he will now be prohibited from going | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
back on the road until he h`s reduced that load. | :03:55. | :04:04. | |
Rogue trading is big business. On a day of action like this, officers | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
need to move quickly becausd once one trader has been alerted, they | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
will often tell the others they are being watched. There were ndarly 700 | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
complaints over doorstep crhme last year. It's hoped operations like | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
this will send out a clear lessage to rogues that they will be caught. | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
Sutton Courtney in South Oxfordshire is under threat ` according to | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
villagers campaigning against plans to expand a waste recycling plant | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
and build 200 new homes there. They say without improvements in the | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
infrastructure, building more houses can't be an option. Sinead Carroll | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
reports Something's been dolinating parts of the Sutton Courtnex skyline | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
for years. But now residents say plans to | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
expand this waste recycling plant and build new homes will threaten | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
their village even more. We are seeing the village bding | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
turned from a medieval vill`ge with rural atmosphere into a township, | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
and it is overloading the f`cilities in the village. | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
The company who own the landfill site are building a waste transfer | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
station. They say that will mean fewer journeys across Oxfordshire to | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
the incinerator. They also reject allegations that this landfhll site | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
is closing flooding. They s`id that factoring in the recent floods, they | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
helped out victims by pumping water from their homes. Residents believe | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
floods like these earlier this year will be repeated if the sitd | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
expands, and if plans to buhld 00 new homes in Sutton Courtnex are | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
approved, many of the homes would be on this field. | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
I just foresee this Arben conurbation spreading from dedicated | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
to Abingdon, and green spacds being subsumed under different types of | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
development. We don't have the infrastructure to handle all the | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
development that is here let alone what might be planned. Todax Sutton | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
Courtney residents put their grievances to MP Ed Vaisey. | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
We don't want to change the character of the village. While | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
there are young people here who want to stay in the village with | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
affordable housing, they also want to stay in a village like this, you | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
just have to look around. Whth planned expansions in nearbx Harwell | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
and Milton, plus the destruction of Didcot Power Station, the skyline in | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
Sutton Courtney will change dramatically over the next two | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
decades. Residents say whatdver happens they need assurances the | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
infastructure will change as well. The Bishop of Oxford, the Rhght | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
Reverend John Pritchard, has announced he'll be retiring later | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
this year, The 66`year`old will retire at the end of October after | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
more than seven years in post. He says it was a very difficult | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
decision but he believes it's time for a new chapter. | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
Alexis has the weekend weather forecast in a moment. That's all | :06:46. | :06:46. | |
