a similar one yesterday in St Albans, and whether illegal | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
Cordoned off and on virtual lockdown. | :00:32. | :00:36. | |

police officers after they found First and Second World War lunitions | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
in a house near the end of this cul de sac. | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
Neighbours told me that at six o'clock this morning police started | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
As the day progressed more and more of them followed. | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
Now we've got a bomb dispos`l unit at the end of the road and `t 1 30 | :00:58. | :01:01. | |

My mum rang me to say that she had a police escort | :01:04. | :01:14. | |

me that we had the bomb squad outside. | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
It is an unusual view when xou are making your morning cup of tea, | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
I opened my curtains and thdre they were, so a bit of a surprise. | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
Officers suspect the items found at the house were stolen | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
from protected and heritage sites with the help of a metal detector. | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
It follows yesterday's raid in Hertfordshire where, | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
in a normal`looking garage on a suburban street, | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
an arsenal of historic weapons and munitions were discoverdd. | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
English Heritage are working with police on the case, | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
but they insist most within the metal detecting community act | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
They are as horrified as we are by the actions of the tiny criminal | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
minority who do not take account of the law, remove property without | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
permission and of course, in this case, not only removing property | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
that may have a financial v`lue but property that may have | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
Police say they don't yet h`ve an exact list of all the items found at | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
the house, but a 35`year`old man has been arrested on suspicion of theft. | :02:13. | :02:19. | |

?8 million has been spent rdvamping Didcot Parkway railway stathon. | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
It's taken more than two ye`rs to finish ` longer than first thought ` | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
and it's over budget by a million pounds. | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
Overdue and overspent ` the ?8 million upgrading | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
of Didcot Parkway has finally been completed. | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
But is it an improvement for those who use it? | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
It is looking a lot neater and tidier, there are road signs and | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
everything, clear, people c`n see where they are going. | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
Before all the cars and busds and taxis were trying to get | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
The station's new look incltdes more than 100 new parking spaces, | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
improved bus stops with dightal timetables | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
When asbestos was found earlier this year it pushed the cost up by more | :03:15. | :03:23. | |
than ?1 million and forced plans for a covered walkway to be scr`pped. | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
The whole thing is a sort of compromise because we are lhmited | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
with space and the amount of facilities we want to provide so | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
we have had to do a bit of cutting here and there to make | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
sure that everything we want to be here is here. | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
But some people who use the station say more needs to be done. | :03:44. | :03:55. | |
The roads could be a bit larger than what it is, | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
We have not seen the improvement because there has | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
With the improvements now fhnished, it's hoped the three million | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
passengers who use this station will benefit from the effects. | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
Motorists have been promised that the cause of major delays on the A34 | :04:11. | :04:13. | |

Gas contractors began coning off a lane at the Milton Interchange | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
near Didcot ahead of work to redesign the roundabout. | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
It caused delays of more an hour during. | :04:22. | :04:25. | |

More than 10,000 people havd been to the Thame Show todax. | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
It's one of the biggest agricultural shows in England. | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
While the event was celebrating life in the countryside, the challenges | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
facing rural communuties were being debated by councils and charities | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
It's a celebration of agrictlture, a chance to get up close | :04:40. | :04:47. | |
Every year the Thame Show highlights the best | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
But how well are Oxfordshird's rural businesses faring | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
and what are the issues facdd by those living in the countryside? | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
They have suffered this year because prices for corn, | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
From the farming side, the harvest has been quite good | :05:09. | :05:22. | |
but the income will not be puite as good as in the past. | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
Nearly 20 miles across Oxfordshire, in Yarnton, the rural econoly was | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
just one area tackled in a flagship debate by somd of | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
Its aim, to highlight some of the key social and economic concerns | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
facing rural communities and ask what charities and volunteers can do | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
to ease the pressure on squeezed council budgets. | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
There will not be an immedi`te difference but I hope this debate | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
will contribute to thinking across the county about how to support | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
the elderly, how to make sure that housing growth is managed in a | :05:50. | :06:00. | |
Back at the Thame Show, we asked people here what they | :06:01. | :06:08. | |
If you are brought up in a village unless you havd | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
a very good job you are not going to be able to live there. | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
My issues are with public transport being taken away from villages | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
so that the older population will not have means to get into lajor | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
I have a problem with the towns swallowing up the villages | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
Today's meeting hopes to sthmulate debate about what steps need to be | :06:26. | :06:34. | |
taken to support the elderlx, make villages more affordable places | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
to live in and keep rural businesses competitive. | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
