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

the club and the fans who h`ve spent many happy days watching gales from | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
the stand. We want to make sure a lot of noise stays in the stadium so | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
filling in the corners and building on the roof will make sure that | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
happens. The objective is to create a fantastic atmosphere for rugby and | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
football. Marine experts have told thd BBC | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
it's now highly likely a dolphin spotted in the | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
River Severn on Saturday will make The mammal, which made | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
its way up from the estuary, has been seen around Stonebdnch | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
and Elmore over the past wedk. There's been no reported | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
sightings since Saturday. It's hoped it used | :08:17. | :08:17. | |
the high tide to negotiate the notorious mud banks and work | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
its way back into the estuary. There's more news on the BBC | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
