:00:25. > :00:28.Burrowbridge to see the dredging of the rivers Tone and Parrdtt.
:00:29. > :00:31.But some people who were badly affected by
:00:32. > :00:34.the floods say they're disappointed not to meet the minister in person
:00:35. > :00:43.Monday morning and day ten in the post and the new
:00:44. > :00:46.Environment Minister Elisabdth Truss is deep in Somerset by the side
:00:47. > :00:48.of the River Tone, seeing for herself the dredging developments.
:00:49. > :00:53.After all, it is costing her government over ?5 million.
:00:54. > :00:57.The reason I am in Somerset within ten days of being appointed
:00:58. > :01:00.is I see it as a real priorhty to make sure the area
:01:01. > :01:03.is properly protected against flooding and to make sure
:01:04. > :01:06.we're putting in place our action plan
:01:07. > :01:11.What I'm delighted to see is the dredging taking placd,
:01:12. > :01:14.the fact the dredging is on schedule.
:01:15. > :01:17.I know that is very important from the point of view
:01:18. > :01:19.of local businesses, local residents.
:01:20. > :01:22.As the Environment Secretarx said, the dredging is on track `
:01:23. > :01:27.They've been doing it now for four months.
:01:28. > :01:30.They have dredged three kilometres of the eight kilometre stretch.
:01:31. > :01:34.But it's not just dredging her predecessor Owen Paterson
:01:35. > :01:37.was talking about, he was also looking at the possibility
:01:38. > :01:42.of a barrage outside Bridgewater that could cost ?30 million.
:01:43. > :01:47.Today the new Secretary said she would not be drawn on this.
:01:48. > :01:50.We will be looking at furthdr proposals as time goes on
:01:51. > :01:53.but the government has shown its commitment
:01:54. > :01:56.by putting the funding into Somerset for this.
:01:57. > :02:00.The Secretary was then whisked off for talks with the
:02:01. > :02:05.But some prominent farmers were disappointed not to meet her.
:02:06. > :02:09.We built up a really good relationship with Owen Paterson
:02:10. > :02:12.He would ask our opinion and actually listen.
:02:13. > :02:16.We are very disappointed and we'll have to work very hard
:02:17. > :02:19.to build that sort of relathonship with the new Secretary.
:02:20. > :02:23.Very pleased that she's comd down to see what's going on `
:02:24. > :02:31.Ten days into the job and she's showing an interest, which hs good.
:02:32. > :02:34.She's taking it really seriously, having a good look around.
:02:35. > :02:38.There's a lot of bits missing like meeting any of the loc`ls
:02:39. > :02:42.or the people who have been heavily involved, as I have been.
:02:43. > :02:47.We haven't seen her today btt hopefully she'll come down.
:02:48. > :02:52.Next time she can come for ` cup of tea in my building site.
:02:53. > :02:56.The message though from Whitehall is there'll be no change in policy
:02:57. > :03:01.the only change lies with the politician.
:03:02. > :03:04.A driver involved in an accident which killed
:03:05. > :03:08.a three`year`old boy in Bristol is to be prosecuted for manslatghter.
:03:09. > :03:11.Freddie Hussey died in a collision in Bedminster back in January.
:03:12. > :03:14.Following a police investig`tion, 37`year`old Tony Davies frol Hallen
:03:15. > :03:18.has been summoned to appear before magistrates when he will be
:03:19. > :03:23.charged with manslaughter and causing death by dangerous driving.
:03:24. > :03:26.Investigations are continuing into the collapse of the Wiltshire
:03:27. > :03:30.The company, which was based in Chippenh`m,
:03:31. > :03:33.went into administration after trading for almost a hundred years.
:03:34. > :03:37.It's thrown many holidaymakdrs' plans into doubt, but as
:03:38. > :03:40.our Wiltshire reporter Will Glennon explains, there was some good news
:03:41. > :03:56.We used to take their children when they were young to the caravan park.
:03:57. > :04:01.Sue Dixon is a full`time carer for her autistic son. Yesterday she had
:04:02. > :04:07.a day trip to Swanage, a rare chance for a break from responsibilities. I
:04:08. > :04:15.think about it all the time. To be able to switch off is just such a
:04:16. > :04:19.relief. The trip was run by Hatts Travel which went out of business on
:04:20. > :04:22.Friday. The company honoured one last booking, even though it had
:04:23. > :04:28.looked like they would lose their holiday. I am used to things
:04:29. > :04:34.happening and not being abld to do certain things but I would have been
:04:35. > :04:37.very disappointed. It was organised by Carer Support Wiltshire. They
:04:38. > :04:42.initially told everyone it was off but then the turnaround in fortunes.
:04:43. > :04:47.Some people were in tears, very upset, and really disappointed that
:04:48. > :04:51.something they had been looking forward to had been pulled but
:04:52. > :04:56.equally, when we were able to get back to them and confirm it was
:04:57. > :05:02.going ahead, they were thrilled Hatts Travel stopped trading on
:05:03. > :05:08.Friday. The coaches came back to the depot and 90 staff were madd
:05:09. > :05:11.redundant. Around 1000 holiday`makers lost trips. Legally
:05:12. > :05:15.their money should have been safe in a travel bond or with the
:05:16. > :05:19.appropriate insurers. It wotld appear that the company does not
:05:20. > :05:23.have any of those things and it did have a trust account for many but
:05:24. > :05:30.there is no many in that account so that is something that as p`rt of
:05:31. > :05:37.our duties, legally responshble duties, we will have to invdstigate.
:05:38. > :05:40.Administrators are still trxing to establish the financial poshtion.
:05:41. > :05:44.Customers are being told to contact their credit and debit card
:05:45. > :05:49.companies in the first inst`nce but some good news today, despite the
:05:50. > :05:51.company collapsed, no one h`s been left stranded either at homd or
:05:52. > :05:54.abroad. It's been another successful night
:05:55. > :05:58.for our athletes in the Comlonwealth Jazz Carlin from Swindon was one
:05:59. > :06:04.of the favourites to win thd women's 800m freestyle final and the
:06:05. > :06:08.world number two didn't dis`ppoint. The 23`year`old also set
:06:09. > :06:11.a new Commonwealth Games record Also competing in swimming finals
:06:12. > :06:15.tonight was James Guy who trains In an extremely close final,
:06:16. > :06:21.he swam into sixth place Out of the pool,
:06:22. > :06:26.Bristol weightlifter Bradley Burrowes failed to get
:06:27. > :06:30.a medal in the 85 kilo category The 34`year`old, who trains
:06:31. > :06:34.at the Empire gym in St Pauls, drove the bar too far forward to hold
:06:35. > :06:57.on to the weight for a medal place. It was a good way to go out, in the
:06:58. > :06:58.Commonwealth Games. I am a little disappointed because I know I can do
:06:59. > :07:02.more. This is how
:07:03. > :07:05.the medal table looks tonight They've
:07:06. > :07:10.so far managed to win six golds six You can find more
:07:11. > :07:16.on the Commonwealth Games and the rest of today's news

:07:45. > :07:50.the club and the fans who h`ve spent many happy days watching gales from
:07:51. > :07:54.the stand. We want to make sure a lot of noise stays in the stadium so
:07:55. > :07:59.filling in the corners and building on the roof will make sure that
:08:00. > :08:01.happens. The objective is to create a fantastic atmosphere for rugby and
