There simply isn't enough money to fix all the potholes in Oxfordshire, | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
It says it is ?160 million short of the amount needed for repairs, | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
and that it's now in the position of having to manage | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
As soon as you fix one, another appears. | :00:20. | :00:28. | |
Nearly 18,000 Oxfordshire potholes have been repaired since April, | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
They are ready dangerous, and for a famous city like Oxford, it is | :00:31. | :00:48. | |
terrible. We ride bicycles in our family, so we had to avoid them. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
Sooner or later somebody is going to come off. The damage to the car is | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
very poor indeed. The council's road repair budget is | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
the biggest in a decade, plus Government added ?4 million, | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
so Oxfordshire has a bumper budget Oxon's Road are better than the | :01:01. | :01:17. | |
national average. They are graded by colour. Currently, half the road | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
budget goes on fixes red routes. The rest goes on high amber ones. What | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
we can only afford at the moment is to patch and meant as best we can. | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
And there is not going to be any danger of those red roads getting | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
much worse? No, it is our job to make sure that the red Road don't | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
get to the stage where you can't drive on them. We have two | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
prioritise to make sure some get repaired, and we want to make sure | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
that the amber roadstead become red roads. | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
Whatever the council decides next Tuesday, reductions in Government | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
budgets, plus colder weather, means Oxfordshire's pothole problems | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
A 63`year`old man is being questioned on suspicion of attempted | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
murder after another man was stabbed in the neck in a shop in Aylesbury. | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
The 25`year`old was attacked yesterday in the Babs Food and | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
His injuries are said to be in life threatening. | :02:09. | :02:17. | |
A further two men have been charged as part of an ongoing operation | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
into sexual offences against children in Buckinghamshire. | :02:21. | :02:21. | |
Ten men, picked up in raids across the county last week, | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
have now been charged with sexual offences against young girls. | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
Police have also arrested a 31`year`old man from Aylesbury and | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
An aircraft company in Oxfordshire has won a ?35 million contract to | :02:30. | :02:38. | |
maintain the entire fleet of police helicopters across England | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
Airbus Helicopters, based at London`Oxford Airport will now be in | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
It's been an anxious wait for staff here at the Airbus site in | :02:46. | :02:56. | |
Kidlington, but now the deal's been signed off, the Business Minister | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
I am impressed by the work you do and wish you all the best for the | :03:00. | :03:11. | |
future. The company will now do | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
the maintenance work for all police helicopters, like | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
this one, over the next five years. It's a lucrative contract, | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
worth ?35 million. But the knock | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
on effects go much further. I have been here today in | :03:21. | :03:29. | |
Oxfordshire to learn about these business success stories. Over the | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
last four years, there have been more than 2500 new businesses | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
started, and some of the big existing businesses like airpass | :03:38. | :03:38. | |
have expanded. Airbus fought off stiff competition | :03:39. | :03:39. | |
from firms in other parts of the UK The new contract is a big deal | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
for Oxford and surrounding areas. Airbus is the world's biggest | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
helicopter manufacturer and makes 70% of police, | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
air ambulance and fire and rescue Airbus has given people | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
like Josh a key job opportunity. He started his apprenticeship | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
when he was 17. We get to stick to an aircraft from | :04:02. | :04:16. | |
maintenance right way through to the end, progressing onto modifications. | :04:17. | :04:17. | |
As well as providing job security for staff, this new deal | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
Ministers say business investments in Oxfordshire | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
Apprenticeships have become an increasingly popular route | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
But people with learning disabilities can be hampered | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
by needing qualifications in English and maths. | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
Now a college in Oxfordshire has teamed up with | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
Stuart Tinworth has been finding out more. | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
this place, I don't know what I would do. I do a bit on the tail, | :04:46. | :05:28. | |
and I got my first pay cheque last week. I am feeling happy and proud | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
of myself. The apprenticeship route is | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
proving more and more popular. But last year | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
a government`commissioned report found those taken | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
on with autism or learning | :05:38. | :05:40. |
