:00:09. > :00:13.Good evening and welcome to BBC Points West.
:00:13. > :00:15.Our headlines tonight: The bus driver who lost his cool. He's
:00:15. > :00:21.caught deliberately ramming a cyclist in dramatic shots from a
:00:21. > :00:24.roadside camera. Rest in peace. Flowers for the
:00:24. > :00:27.priest killed in his own vicarage as police continue to question a
:00:27. > :00:37.man. Beats College Green - the squatters
:00:37. > :00:37.
:00:37. > :00:42.who've occupied a two million pound mansion. It is more than fair to be
:00:42. > :00:46.here as the place is not being used and we are utilising the space.
:00:46. > :00:49.When they get it back, they will get it back better.
:00:49. > :00:55.And a warning tonight that the wonders of the Severn Estuary face
:00:55. > :01:00.a serious threat over the next century.
:01:00. > :01:03.Good evening. An incident of road rage that almost killed a cyclist
:01:03. > :01:05.in Bristol. Bus driver Gavin Hill has been jailed for using his
:01:05. > :01:10.vehicle as a weapon, when he deliberately swerved into cyclist
:01:10. > :01:14.Philip Mead. It all started after an argument in
:01:14. > :01:23.the morning rush hour, but ended with a devastating result. Sabet
:01:23. > :01:28.Choudhury is near the spot where it happened.
:01:28. > :01:32.It was a momentary act of aggression which has tonight left
:01:32. > :01:37.the 29 year-old starting a jail sentence and a cyclist who is lucky
:01:37. > :01:42.to be alive. It has raised many questions about the safety of
:01:42. > :01:46.people on two wheels here in this cycling city of Bristol.
:01:46. > :01:56.The moment when cyclist Philip Mead almost lost his life. An incident
:01:56. > :02:00.of road rage that left him in hospital for two weeks.
:02:01. > :02:05.The judge said that the driver of the bus use the vehicle as a weapon
:02:06. > :02:11.when he deliberately swerved into the cyclist. Mr Mead it did not
:02:11. > :02:14.want to speak to us on camera, but the court heard that the incident
:02:15. > :02:19.started on the Stokes Croft roundabout behind me when Hill
:02:19. > :02:24.drove too close to the cyclist. Mr Mead then banged on the bus and
:02:24. > :02:29.when it eventually stopped, he lent his bike on the front of it and
:02:29. > :02:32.flicked the windscreen wiper while continuing to argue with the driver.
:02:32. > :02:36.What happened next defies truly defies belief. 29-year-old Hill had
:02:36. > :02:42.been driving buses for 10 years with an excellent character. But
:02:42. > :02:45.tonight that moment of madness has landed him in jail for 17 months.
:02:45. > :02:48.And his family left the court today in tears.
:02:48. > :02:53.The incident last year left Phillip Mead with a broken leg, wrist and
:02:53. > :03:02.thumb. Of course the roads can be a dangerous place on two wheels.
:03:02. > :03:08.This was filmed by a cyclist in Glasgow to highlight the problem.
:03:08. > :03:12.I think cycle rage is caused when people threaten cyclists by the way
:03:13. > :03:17.they drive. They make cyclists feel unsafe. If you have had a car come
:03:17. > :03:22.very close the year, you get very scared. When you get scared, you
:03:22. > :03:28.get angry. I think the way to get over it is for cyclists and drivers
:03:28. > :03:31.to get on better, to be more courteous to each other, perhaps.
:03:31. > :03:40.Bristol prides it's self on being a cycle city. Thousands use their
:03:40. > :03:44.bikes everyday, but could incidents like this make them think again?
:03:44. > :03:48.This was obviously a criminal act that went to court, but many
:03:48. > :03:52.cyclists say they have evidence of near-misses that happen every day.
:03:53. > :03:58.Let speak to Councillor John Rogers who is head of cycling policy in
:03:59. > :04:04.Bristol. This must be shocking. How safe are cyclists in Bristol?
:04:04. > :04:09.Cyclists are very safe. Incidents like this bring the whole thing
:04:09. > :04:13.into disrepute, but that was a criminal act and quite outrageous.
:04:13. > :04:19.The key message is that we have to respect one another. Make sure we
:04:19. > :04:24.give plenty of room. Cyclists must also respect pedestrians. All motor
:04:24. > :04:28.vehicles must be plenty of room. You say that about cyclists, but
:04:28. > :04:34.many motorists would say that cyclists do not behave in the same
:04:34. > :04:39.etiquette. All road users must act with respect. Certainly when you
:04:39. > :04:44.have a cyclist jumping red lights or cycling dangerously. That is
:04:44. > :04:50.equally as dangerous, actually, it is not equally as dangerous. The
:04:50. > :04:54.most dangerous is a ton of metal around year. One of the things that
:04:54. > :04:59.cyclists always say is our council is doing enough to make it a
:04:59. > :05:03.counselling City? A lot of places are just as dangerous. This
:05:03. > :05:13.roundabout certainly it is a dangerous road junction. It is the
:05:13. > :05:18.junction I came to do myself -- cycling less than with. The key is
:05:18. > :05:23.to make sure you have plenty of space both inside due to the kerb
:05:23. > :05:29.and outside to the other cars and vehicles. Thank you very much. A
:05:29. > :05:32.very quickly, Philip Mead is very well and back cycling again. This
:05:33. > :05:36.is an incident that sparked a lot of debate and you can join us on
:05:36. > :05:39.Twitter. The family of Reverend John
:05:39. > :05:44.Suddards, the vicar stabbed to death at his vicarage in Thornbury,
:05:44. > :05:46.say they are devastated at the news of his untimely and shocking death.
:05:46. > :05:50.Meanwhile, detectives are continuing to question a man on
:05:50. > :05:54.suspicion of his murder. Our Home Affairs Correspondent Steve Brodie
:05:54. > :05:57.reports. Today police were stepping up their
:05:57. > :06:02.search for the weapon used in the murder of the Reverend John
:06:02. > :06:04.Suddards. The vicar of St Mary's was found stabbed to death in the
:06:04. > :06:07.hall of his vicarage on Tuesday morning.
:06:07. > :06:09.As police continued to comb the area around the church for evidence,
:06:09. > :06:15.John Suddards family released a statement saying, "We are
:06:15. > :06:18.devastated with the news of John's untimely and shocking death."
:06:18. > :06:22.Police are continuing to question the 43-year-old man arrested on
:06:22. > :06:25.Tuesday evening, on suspicion of murder. Tomorrow morning detectives
:06:25. > :06:28.will have to apply to magistrates for a 24 hour extension if they
:06:28. > :06:31.want to continue their questioning of the man. But by Saturday they
:06:31. > :06:35.will have to either charge him or let him go.
:06:35. > :06:40.As flowers were left near the scene of the killing, the police set up a
:06:40. > :06:42.mobile office in the town to help gather information from the public.
:06:42. > :06:45.The murder of John Suddards has shocked not only the local
:06:45. > :06:50.community here in Thornbury, but also fellow clergy from his
:06:50. > :06:59.previous parish. He'd worked at St Nicholas Church in Essex, since
:06:59. > :07:04.2001, before moving to St Mary's last July.
:07:04. > :07:08.Like many in the parish, we are in shock. We never thought something
:07:08. > :07:12.like this would happen to John. When people live alone, they are
:07:12. > :07:16.very vulnerable, but it is a terrible shock and many people are
:07:16. > :07:19.in distress here. And a district councillor in
:07:19. > :07:22.Braintree spoke of how John Suddards had poured all his energy
:07:22. > :07:25.into his flock and how the vicar had travelled hundreds of miles to
:07:25. > :07:31.marry his daughter after she had decided to hold the service in
:07:31. > :07:35.Cumbria instead of Essex. Out of courtesy they went to see
:07:35. > :07:40.John to explain why they would not be marrying in the parish in which
:07:40. > :07:45.they lived. Without prompting, John got his road map out and said,
:07:45. > :07:50.would you like me to come up and officiate? I think we were
:07:50. > :07:54.surprised that he was so willing to do that in some way. Not surprised
:07:54. > :07:59.because generally he was compassionate and he cared about
:07:59. > :08:03.people, but a volunteer so readily was, I think, a measure of his
:08:03. > :08:07.character. As the flag on Thornbury Castle
:08:07. > :08:10.flew at half mast. A service dedicated to John Suddards was
:08:10. > :08:14.being planned for tomorrow evening. If the cordon around St Mary's
:08:15. > :08:18.isn't lifted it will take place elsewhere.
:08:18. > :08:23.A court's heard today that a young woman was found slumped in a shower
:08:23. > :08:26.room after breathing in toxic fumes from a newly fitted boiler. Zoe
:08:26. > :08:29.Anderson died from carbon monoxide poisoning at a house in Bath, which
:08:29. > :08:34.was owned by her father - the founder of the Future Publishing
:08:34. > :08:41.business. Andrew Hartley, a gas fitter, denies her manslaughter.
:08:41. > :08:44.Imogen Sellers was in court. Zoe Anderson has just been about to
:08:44. > :08:49.start an exciting internship in New York when she was found dead at her
:08:49. > :08:52.father's house in Sion Hill in Bath on December 28th 2010. Her
:08:52. > :08:56.boyfriend Alistair Uleg searched the house before finding her in the
:08:56. > :09:01.shower room. He had tried to resuscitate the 24 year old, but it
:09:01. > :09:04.was too late. She had been poisoned by fumes that had leaked from a
:09:04. > :09:07.newly fitted gas boiler. The court heard that a second tragedy had
:09:07. > :09:11.been narrowly avoided just days before Zoe died. A cleaner, Jackie
:09:11. > :09:15.French, who had gone to the house while Zoe was away, was taken ill
:09:15. > :09:19.and rushed to hospital. She had been cleaning the shower room where
:09:19. > :09:23.Zoe died when she began to feel dizzy and light-headed. She managed
:09:23. > :09:26.to crawl to her phone and rang for an ambulance. But the court heard
:09:26. > :09:32.how at that stage no one realised her symptoms were that of carbon
:09:32. > :09:35.monoxide poisoning. Magazine tycoon Chris Anderson told the court he
:09:35. > :09:40.had spent a pre-Christmas week with Zoe and his two other daughters in
:09:40. > :09:43.New York, where he is now based. That was the last time he'd see his
:09:43. > :09:46.daughter alive. Andrew Hartley, from Radstock, who fitted the
:09:46. > :09:54.boiler at the property on December 16 2010, denies manslaughter and
:09:54. > :10:04.contravening gas safety regulations. Tomorrow the court will hear from
:10:04. > :10:11.

:10:21. > :10:25.communities in the West joined forces to reduce energy costs.
:10:25. > :10:32.And how climate change could alter the shoreline of the Severn estuary
:10:32. > :10:36.over the next 100 years. That is all to come. First, a group
:10:36. > :10:41.of squatters have moved into a million-pound mansion with his very
:10:41. > :10:44.own swimming-pool in the area of Clifton in Bristol. Some were
:10:44. > :10:51.involved in the occupied protest, but say this is not an official
:10:51. > :10:55.occupation. A setback in a leafy Bristol suburb,
:10:55. > :11:00.this 18th century mansion is quite aside. This is the main kitchen
:11:00. > :11:04.that we use. It used to be universities students
:11:04. > :11:10.cooking here. This was a halls of residence. Up until last week it
:11:10. > :11:13.was on the market for just over �2 million. Complete with its own
:11:13. > :11:19.swimming pool. We are not sure if we will fill it
:11:19. > :11:24.More than a dozen squatters have now been here for more than a week.
:11:24. > :11:29.They say they are not part of the occupier movement.
:11:29. > :11:33.What gives you the right to be here? Because it is empty and there
:11:33. > :11:39.are homeless people here so that have been sleeping on the streets.
:11:39. > :11:46.Sleeping in a doorway when it is snowing is not pleasant. Do you
:11:46. > :11:50.want to be here? Do I want to be here? I don't want to be in a
:11:50. > :11:56.mansion, but contrary to that I want to be somewhere that I can
:11:56. > :12:00.call mine. I am not just speaking to me I am speaking for many people.
:12:00. > :12:04.The house is owned by the Bank of Scotland he declined to comment as
:12:04. > :12:09.did the family of the previous owner. So, what did the neighbours
:12:09. > :12:14.think? Sum donated furniture while we were there, others went in for a
:12:14. > :12:20.cup of tea. As long as they keep themselves to themselves, it is not
:12:20. > :12:24.a problem. They have been quiet and there has been no problems. One
:12:24. > :12:29.wonders where they get their money from to live that sort of lifestyle.
:12:29. > :12:33.He are be intrigued to find out how they found out the number of the
:12:33. > :12:41.gate to get in. I notice there was electricity their last night, so
:12:41. > :12:45.where is the power coming from. is a great shame to the area.
:12:45. > :12:50.Well, we don't know who they are or what they planned to do other than
:12:51. > :12:55.to occupy somebody else's home. That criticism was echoed by the
:12:55. > :12:59.estate and letting agents I had been speaking to. None wanted to
:12:59. > :13:03.appear on camera because they were all worried that if they did, their
:13:03. > :13:08.own properties might be spotted. They are all very concerned about
:13:08. > :13:12.what is going on there. No doubt they will have sympathy with the
:13:12. > :13:16.Government's view. It wants to criminalise and find squatters
:13:16. > :13:24.because at the moment it is basically a civil offence to be
:13:24. > :13:34.dealt with through the civil courts. I am joined by the local MP,
:13:34. > :13:35.
:13:35. > :13:40.Stephen Williams. Have you any The eve you are genuinely homeless
:13:40. > :13:43.then people will have sympathy but this �3 million house is not the
:13:43. > :13:48.sort of place people expect homeless people to squat so this
:13:48. > :13:53.looks more like a stunt than anything. The House of Commons has
:13:53. > :13:57.already looked at this issue and I voted along with most MPs to
:13:57. > :14:00.criminalise the occupation of other people's Dougherty and the Lords
:14:00. > :14:07.voted the same way last night so pretty soon landlords will have a
:14:07. > :14:11.legal redress. So you will be able to call the police. The s, at the
:14:11. > :14:16.moment it is a civil offence so you have to go through the rigmarole of
:14:16. > :14:19.getting a court order. As we saw on Cheltenham Road, the sort of place
:14:19. > :14:24.people are more likely to Scott, in April last year, when properties
:14:24. > :14:28.get Scotti, often antisocial behaviour can result. On the other
:14:28. > :14:32.hand, there are something like 5,000 empty properties in Bristol,
:14:32. > :14:38.sitting doing nothing and there are people without homes. Isn't there a
:14:38. > :14:41.moral case where these buildings should be put to use? Yes, there is
:14:41. > :14:45.and the Government and City Council are doing good work on that. The
:14:45. > :14:49.city council has end NT hence team who writes to people who sit on
:14:49. > :14:53.properties that have not been sold or let out for a while, of trying
:14:53. > :14:57.to encourage them to bring them back onto the market. That is the
:14:57. > :15:01.way forward. But deliberately going into someone else's property and
:15:01. > :15:04.using their electricity, occupying the property so they can't sell it
:15:04. > :15:09.to someone else is not really using the programme. A lot of these
:15:09. > :15:12.property owners, it is their assets or their pension or maybe they are
:15:12. > :15:17.just moving house. Gloucestershire Police have
:15:17. > :15:21.revealed that an officer found dead in his house -- car last November
:15:22. > :15:26.had been arrested for alleged child pornography offences. Sergeant John
:15:26. > :15:31.Skilling, seen here in 2009, was head of the schools unit and gave
:15:31. > :15:34.talks on cyber bullying in schools. He was found dead two months after
:15:34. > :15:39.being arrested in September last year. His death is not being
:15:39. > :15:43.treated as suspicious and an inquest will take place next month.
:15:43. > :15:47.This week and Points West, we are examining the rising cost of
:15:47. > :15:52.domestic fuel, the soaring charges affecting all of us but almost half
:15:52. > :15:56.a million people in our region currently living in fuel poverty.
:15:56. > :15:59.Now an increasing number of communities are choosing to start
:15:59. > :16:05.renewable energy co-operatives. They are joining together in an
:16:05. > :16:08.attempt to lower their bills. Over the last few years, the number
:16:08. > :16:13.of people installing solar panels and investing in loft insulation
:16:13. > :16:19.has gone through the roof. Now whole communities are looking to do
:16:19. > :16:23.the same en masse. To help lower everyone's for fuel bills. The
:16:23. > :16:27.community of Backwell in north Somerset is one of those. They want
:16:27. > :16:31.to reduce energy costs and improve sustainability. They were
:16:31. > :16:35.successful in their bid for what is called a local energy action fund,
:16:35. > :16:38.provided to them by the Department for Energy and Climate Change. And
:16:38. > :16:43.at Backwell's Parish Hall, they have been discussing the best ways
:16:43. > :16:46.to spend the money. We know that oil will run out at some point so
:16:46. > :16:51.we need to make plans as individuals but also as communities
:16:51. > :16:55.for the future and for our children. It is really about individual
:16:55. > :16:59.people and groups of people working together to reduce their own energy
:16:59. > :17:04.bills. And not having to accept what the energy providers are
:17:04. > :17:09.charging us. This village is one of dozens of neighbour has across the
:17:09. > :17:13.Best who are setting up community co-operatives. In fact, this whole
:17:13. > :17:18.chunk of north Somerset will benefit. Jon Gething runs Low
:17:18. > :17:22.Carbon Gordano, a group trying to tackle high fuel prices by
:17:22. > :17:29.installing solar panels using renewable biomass and improving
:17:29. > :17:34.insulation. We are not getting any renewables in our energy. There is
:17:34. > :17:38.no one building renewables. If nobody else is then be better to be
:17:38. > :17:45.to our cells. That is happening increasingly. People doing things
:17:45. > :17:49.themselves. Why should we wait? We have got the resources, skills and
:17:49. > :17:53.expertise. So it seems the high price of gas and electricity is
:17:53. > :18:02.driving people to find other Energy Solutions, which Tara both cheaper
:18:02. > :18:05.and greener. The creators of the Bristol based
:18:05. > :18:09.finance company Hargreaves Lansdown have received honorary degrees this
:18:09. > :18:12.afternoon from the University of Bristol. Peter Hargreaves was first
:18:12. > :18:17.up to accept his doctorate. He started the firm in a bedroom 30
:18:17. > :18:21.years ago with his business partner Stephen Lansdown. Last week the
:18:21. > :18:23.company announced record profits. Stephen Lansdown is the majority
:18:23. > :18:30.shareholder of Bristol City Football Club and the new owner of
:18:30. > :18:35.Bristol Rugby Club. He is a great day for us. I cannot tell you how I
:18:35. > :18:39.feel. Sort of chap and pleased and honoured, and a bit nervous. It is
:18:39. > :18:43.a great experience. I am glad someone has noticed that we have
:18:43. > :18:51.created one of Britain's most successful businesses. It is the
:18:51. > :18:57.only FTSE company based in Bristol and it started with the Duke of bus
:18:57. > :19:00.-- with two of us. Almost exactly six months ago, at
:19:00. > :19:04.Gloucester hit the headlines when rioting broke out in the Bolton
:19:04. > :19:09.area of the city. At its height, police officers were brought in to
:19:09. > :19:17.deal with the violence and more than 40 people were arrested. --
:19:17. > :19:19.Barton it. Today, though, people in Barton Street, say things are back
:19:19. > :19:23.to normal and it is a nicer place to live.
:19:23. > :19:26.In August, the rioting that had started in north London and spread
:19:26. > :19:31.across many other large English cities came to Gloucester. Windows
:19:31. > :19:35.were smashed, cars damaged and a local shop looted when rioters,
:19:35. > :19:38.many from outside the area, descended on Barton Street.
:19:38. > :19:43.Today things are very different. There is no sign here of what
:19:43. > :19:47.happened that night in August. The damage has been repaired. It is
:19:47. > :19:51.peaceful. Local people feel they have reclaimed their street. Today
:19:51. > :19:56.police officers are a constant and reassuring presence to people here,
:19:56. > :20:01.who say the community spirit is now stronger than ever. The nice to see
:20:01. > :20:07.you again. A Barton Street itself has changed dramatically over 30

:20:18. > :20:22.goes on as normal. More than 40 people were arrested following the
:20:23. > :20:26.violence. Half of them have been charged, mainly with violent
