:00:00. > :00:00.It's almost 6:30pm. and on BBC One we now join
:00:00. > :00:00.You're watching East Midlands Today.
:00:00. > :00:00.Tonight, calls for the full force of the law to be used
:00:07. > :00:23.Land owners say it costs 50 million a year to clear up the mess and the
:00:24. > :00:26.culprits are getting away with it. Local authorities are not
:00:27. > :00:31.undertaking enough prosecutions. Fine levels are not high enough to
:00:32. > :00:35.make it not worth their while to fly-tip. The city that is suffering
:00:36. > :00:41.a drop in shops. We will find out why more shops are closing in Derby
:00:42. > :00:46.than the rest of the East Midlands. Plus the inner-city project that
:00:47. > :00:52.keeps drawing Prince Harry back to Nottingham. 162 years on, memories
:00:53. > :00:53.of a cavalryman from Leicester who survived the infamous charge of the
:00:54. > :01:00.light Brigade. Welcome to Tuesday's programme
:01:01. > :01:03.with Dominic Heale and me, First tonight, stiffer penalties
:01:04. > :01:09.for flytippers, including prison. That's what the Country Land
:01:10. > :01:11.and Business Association And it says local councils should be
:01:12. > :01:17.doing more to stop the scourge Well, one district council
:01:18. > :01:21.determined to get to grips with the problem
:01:22. > :01:25.is Harborough in Leicestershire. There, cases of flytipping
:01:26. > :01:28.have more than doubled Our reporter, Victoria Hicks,
:01:29. > :01:46.has spent the day with Three days of illegally dumped
:01:47. > :01:49.rubbish collected in Harborough. Today it was temporarily tipped onto
:01:50. > :01:54.Welland Park in the town to show how big a problem fly-tipping has
:01:55. > :02:00.become. We are getting reports that fly-tipping in the last two or three
:02:01. > :02:04.years has increased and we want to tackle it and raise awareness about
:02:05. > :02:10.what local residents can do. We also want to send a message to those who
:02:11. > :02:15.do fly-tip that it is a crime, it is illegal, and we will prosecute you.
:02:16. > :02:18.Already the issue there have been 300 cases of fly-tipping in
:02:19. > :02:24.Harborough. The District Council does not believe the introduction of
:02:25. > :02:28.tip charges are to blame. And no, I don't. We've discovered the vast
:02:29. > :02:38.majority is household waste. There is no charge for people have
:02:39. > :02:41.mattresses or 30s, bring them into the tip. There will be no charge for
:02:42. > :02:46.that. Do not dump it on the roadside. People are dumping their
:02:47. > :02:52.rubbish. A mile and a half down this country lane we found this eyesore.
:02:53. > :02:57.This is a typical fly-tip. Most of this is household... All of this is
:02:58. > :03:00.household waste wood or this can be disposed at a local household waste
:03:01. > :03:07.site. We deal with this day in and day out. It costs of time and money
:03:08. > :03:11.and is an eyesore. We look at it and think, why would you dump it here
:03:12. > :03:16.when it tip is less than two miles away? It is not hard-core where you
:03:17. > :03:21.have to pay for it at the local tip. You can easily put it in recycling
:03:22. > :03:25.bins. That makes it more irritating. At the far end of this lane, this
:03:26. > :03:28.load was dumped last night for that is the owner is traced, they could
:03:29. > :03:31.face prosecution and a hefty fine. Well, the Country Land
:03:32. > :03:34.and Business Association have told us the full force of the law needs
:03:35. > :03:37.to be used against fly tippers. The CLA believes too
:03:38. > :03:40.little is being done. Our concern really is local
:03:41. > :03:43.authorities aren't undertaking prosecutions and the fine levels
:03:44. > :03:50.aren't high enough not to make it Surely people are not going to pay
:03:51. > :03:58.that kind of money. The thing is, what's happening,
:03:59. > :04:00.they are actually putting That's the maximum but when they
:04:01. > :04:04.actually do the fly-tipping fines, It is costing our members
:04:05. > :04:07.and people who own land more money to actually
:04:08. > :04:09.clear up the fly-tipping In terms of enforcing this,
:04:10. > :04:16.you look at councils. Surely they don't have the money
:04:17. > :04:20.currently with the budget cuts they're facing to pursue it
:04:21. > :04:23.in the way that you want. The problem is they also
:04:24. > :04:27.have the same issues we have in that they spend over ?50,000
:04:28. > :04:31.across the country clearing up The issue is, if we can get
:04:32. > :04:35.to a point where people are being fined at a high level and it
:04:36. > :04:38.puts people off, hopefully their problems will be reduced and they
:04:39. > :04:41.will have to fine less people because they will realise it costs
:04:42. > :04:44.money rather than fining lots of Obviously people who own
:04:45. > :04:49.land in the country We need people to get access
:04:50. > :04:55.and dispose of their rubbish We need people to learn
:04:56. > :04:59.about what their duties Next tonight, shops in Derby
:05:00. > :05:07.are closing at a faster rate than anywhere else in the East
:05:08. > :05:09.Midlands. Research by Price Waterhouse Cooper
:05:10. > :05:12.shows that while some new retail businesses are opening in the city -
:05:13. > :05:15.that's outweighed by Lucy Vladev is in
:05:16. > :05:33.Derby this evening. Good evening. That our shops closing
:05:34. > :05:39.up for the evening now. The concerns of some will be whether they can
:05:40. > :05:41.keep reopening in the morning. Research by PricewaterhouseCoopers
:05:42. > :05:44.shows that for the first half of this year the number of shops
:05:45. > :05:46.closing in Derby was higher than anywhere else in the East Midlands.
:05:47. > :05:56.That is causing concern for some. Shop fronts in a city with nothing
:05:57. > :06:00.to sell inside. This is a growing picture of Derby's High Street.
:06:01. > :06:05.Research shows shops are closing at a faster rate here than anywhere
:06:06. > :06:08.rows in the East Midlands. I don't think Derby has a huge range of
:06:09. > :06:12.shops will stop if people want to spend a little bit more on clothes
:06:13. > :06:19.and want a designer item, there isn't really anywhere in Derby. It
:06:20. > :06:22.is tough for. What we tried to do is to provide fresh food and good
:06:23. > :06:28.quality and decent prices for customers. It is difficult. In the
:06:29. > :06:32.first half of this year, Derby saw in 11 shops open but 19 clothes.
:06:33. > :06:38.That is the highest net reduction in the whole of the East Midlands. The
:06:39. > :06:42.type of shops is also changing. Gone are the pubs and expensive clothing
:06:43. > :06:46.stores as they are replaced by estate agents and fast food
:06:47. > :06:54.restaurants. Not everywhere is suffering. Towns like Belper and
:06:55. > :06:57.Leicester and Melton Mowbray have been doing well. Some are feeling
:06:58. > :07:00.the pinch. We should remember that Derby has done very well in these
:07:01. > :07:05.surveys in the past. It is competition. Leicester has performed
:07:06. > :07:10.particularly well probably on the halo effect from the football team
:07:11. > :07:13.and Richard III. It seems shop owners in Derby have an uphill
:07:14. > :07:15.battle on their hands as they fight to stay afloat on their local high
:07:16. > :07:23.street. As you can imagine, this afternoon
:07:24. > :07:28.we received a statement from marketing Derby as well. They said
:07:29. > :07:32.the study is useful as a baseline for measuring the comings and goings
:07:33. > :07:34.on the high Street, several of the bonuses that is whether the
:07:35. > :07:41.businesses that have closed have been affected by shops like BHS.
:07:42. > :07:44.They say there are still some challenges to be addressed but the
:07:45. > :07:48.retail sector in Derby should not be viewed in a negative light. As you
:07:49. > :07:51.can imagine, shop owners here will make up their own minds in the
:07:52. > :07:53.coming months. Thank you very much. If you like misty, mellow autumns,
:07:54. > :08:04.there's some good news from Kaye. You mean a bit like this? It is
:08:05. > :08:10.certainly looking more autumnal. And we are going to add the word mild to
:08:11. > :08:15.Misty and mellow. Join me for the details later in the programme.
:08:16. > :08:18.Police in Derby have released CCTV footage of the moment a pedestrian
:08:19. > :08:21.was struck by a car in an apparent hit and run incident.
:08:22. > :08:23.They say the 47-year-old man was crossing Boyer Street
:08:24. > :08:26.in the city on the evening of the 23rd of September
:08:27. > :08:30.when a black car knocked him to the ground.
:08:31. > :08:32.He suffered a fractured shoulder and facial injuries.
:08:33. > :08:39.Officers are appealing for witnesses.
:08:40. > :08:42.Talks have been taking place today to try to resolve a long-running
:08:43. > :08:46.dispute between school support staff in Derby and the city council.
:08:47. > :08:48.Unison members have walked out several times since their contracts
:08:49. > :08:55.Some teaching assistants claim they've lost up
:08:56. > :09:01.Unison says it's called off next week's strikes.
:09:02. > :09:03.Police in Nottinghamshire says they're concerned for the safety
:09:04. > :09:07.Paige Summers was last seen in the Gamston area
:09:08. > :09:12.She's described as slim around 5ft 1 inches tall and was wearing a black
:09:13. > :09:17.coat with fur around the hood, grey leggings and white trainers.
:09:18. > :09:25.Officers are appealing for witnesses.
:09:26. > :09:33.Now, why should... It's been a big decision at Westminster for
:09:34. > :09:37.Nottingham. Dan at Westminster, the city has been made in a big effort
:09:38. > :09:42.to encourage investment and attention. It is called Nottingham
:09:43. > :09:44.in Parliament a foot of business leaders, sportspeople and
:09:45. > :09:47.schoolchildren have travelled to make the case for that area. Our
:09:48. > :09:54.political editor is at Westminster now. Do tell us
:09:55. > :09:58.more. The news at Westminster J was dominated by the expansion of
:09:59. > :10:02.Heathrow Airport but also creating a buzz was the city of Nottingham and
:10:03. > :10:05.Nottinghamshire as the county. It is all down to the University of
:10:06. > :10:09.Nottingham staging this day to try to bring courage investment, to talk
:10:10. > :10:14.to the politicians. They had 45 different events will stop into
:10:15. > :10:18.context, normally about one event each time a constituency stage
:10:19. > :10:23.something and they normally last two hours. This is 45 events over nine
:10:24. > :10:25.hours. Simon Ward has been getting a feeling as to what has been going
:10:26. > :10:27.on. He is trying to persuade the rich
:10:28. > :10:29.to invest in Nottinghamshire. The University of Nottingham led
:10:30. > :10:32.many events in and around Robin Hood helped remind people
:10:33. > :10:35.about his city and county. Robin Hood always stood up
:10:36. > :10:39.for the people of Nottingham. But today, we've got an entire
:10:40. > :10:43.of people who are here We've got past,
:10:44. > :10:54.we've a great future. Children from Bluebell Hill School
:10:55. > :10:56.in Nottingham helped Conservative and Labour to battle
:10:57. > :10:59.each other but with common cause. 45 different events from Nottingham
:11:00. > :11:02.down to Parliament, plus some fresh ideas to make sure that nobody
:11:03. > :11:04.in the whole of Westminster and the Government can be an aware
:11:05. > :11:07.of how great Nottingham and We need to sell ourselves
:11:08. > :11:18.to the country make sure people are aware
:11:19. > :11:20.of our sporting heritage, our great It's a good place to do business
:11:21. > :11:25.and a great place to The new man taking
:11:26. > :11:29.the job of marketing says they are not worried about
:11:30. > :11:31.the sporting success and historical In bringing the story of Nottingham
:11:32. > :11:35.to Parliament, to the corridors of power, it's quite
:11:36. > :11:36.a momentous occasion. The reaction we've had today
:11:37. > :11:39.from various invitees and attendees has been
:11:40. > :11:43.incredibly positive. I think this is the beginning of an
:11:44. > :11:46.exciting, new period for the city. John McGovern knows how
:11:47. > :11:48.to be a winner. Enough people come here
:11:49. > :11:54.and enquire about Nottingham itself and obviously again
:11:55. > :11:57.on the sporting side that's why I'm There is a lot of interest
:11:58. > :12:09.and that's great to see. In the formal surroundings of
:12:10. > :12:11.the Palace of Westminster, you don't normally see football and table
:12:12. > :12:13.tennis taking place. We'll have to see if it
:12:14. > :12:25.improves the fortunes of Simon Ward with some of the sporting
:12:26. > :12:30.events. We even had Dennis Skinner playing football. With me now is the
:12:31. > :12:34.man behind this from the University of Nottingham, the Vice Chancellor,
:12:35. > :12:38.said David Greenaway. Can you tell me some of the serious discussions
:12:39. > :12:43.that have gone on today? Will they make a difference? I think they
:12:44. > :12:48.well. First thing this morning we had a forum on the Midlands engine.
:12:49. > :12:53.That is an initiative to try to drive economic growth in the
:12:54. > :12:56.Midlands. The Midlands is the second largest region outside London.
:12:57. > :13:01.Bigger than the northern powerhouse and twice the side of Scotland. We
:13:02. > :13:06.are the second biggest city in the Midlands engine and we need to help
:13:07. > :13:09.to power about. How will you take this forward from today question out
:13:10. > :13:14.there have been a lot of events and discussions. How do you make
:13:15. > :13:20.success? We persuade parliamentarians that our city and
:13:21. > :13:24.region are worth investing in. Investing in infrastructure to
:13:25. > :13:30.improve collectivity East - West as well as North- South. All the
:13:31. > :13:33.businesses we have here, we are sending the message to them for that
:13:34. > :13:38.this is a great place to live and a great place to work. Come and do
:13:39. > :13:42.business in Nottingham. The Speaker said it was a one off. We have been
:13:43. > :13:51.the first university in city to do it. It has had enormous impact
:13:52. > :13:56.within Parliament. Will we do it again? Let's take a look and make
:13:57. > :14:00.sure it has had the impact we want. Why not? Thank you very much was
:14:01. > :14:04.that you have another event to go to in about 20 minutes. They go on
:14:05. > :14:07.until nine p.m.. Thank you very much.

:20:31. > :20:35.In terms of numbers, the junior numbers that are
:20:36. > :20:36.coming into the club, it's been fantastic.
:20:37. > :20:39.Also getting lots of parents coming back to the game.
:20:40. > :20:44.It has raised the profile brilliantly.
:20:45. > :20:47.The trophy cabinet speaks for itself.
:20:48. > :20:50.Last season, the men finished mid-table in
:20:51. > :20:54.After six games this season, they find themselves top.
:20:55. > :20:59.They are even attracting a bit of a crowd.
:21:00. > :21:01.People who do come and watch hockey are always pleasantly
:21:02. > :21:04.surprised at the speed and skill level of it.
:21:05. > :21:06.And so, as playing well, attacking hockey, is always
:21:07. > :21:16.The women's first team has started strongly.
:21:17. > :21:19.Flying high in the Second Division, they are pushing for promotion.
:21:20. > :21:21.They've even signed an Argentinian player to help.
:21:22. > :21:27.We come to every practice, thinking our
:21:28. > :21:31.goal is to win this league and go to the Premier League and do our best
:21:32. > :21:36.It always wanted to compete in Europe.
:21:37. > :21:39.We got to the quarterfinal of the Euro Hockey League
:21:40. > :21:42.twice and it will be nice in the next five years to actually
:21:43. > :21:45.take a step further and compete in a final four and maybe
:21:46. > :21:51.I think we're moving in the right direction.
:21:52. > :21:58.Let's hope they can keep it up for the rest of the season.
:21:59. > :22:02.It's 162 years to the day, since one of the most famous actions
:22:03. > :22:05.in British military history - the ill-fated charge
:22:06. > :22:11.More than 300 cavalrymen were killed, wounded,
:22:12. > :22:13.or captured when they rode against the Russian guns.
:22:14. > :22:16.But some of the soldiers DID survive - including John
:22:17. > :22:18.Burton from Leicester - it's thought the only man
:22:19. > :22:24.Now his descendent is determined his grave
:22:25. > :22:26.should at last be marked, to commemorate him.
:22:27. > :22:34.It is famous as the last resting place of Thomas Cook and the mother
:22:35. > :22:39.But Leicester's cemetery should also be better known for another grave.
:22:40. > :22:43.Jason Robinson has come 140 miles from his Aldershot home to search,
:22:44. > :22:48.with help from Leicestershire experts, for that grave of
:22:49. > :23:02.Born in 1810, John Burton joined the British Army in 1830.
:23:03. > :23:04.24 years later, he found herself fighting in the Crimean War.
:23:05. > :23:06.He survived and came back to Leicester.
:23:07. > :23:09.Now Jason is about to see his great, great-grandfather's unmarked burial
:23:10. > :23:13.This the first time I've actually ever visited his grave.
:23:14. > :23:18.You wouldn't think there was a grave here, just flat grass.
:23:19. > :23:21.What Jason wants more than anything is to celebrate his ancestor's part
:23:22. > :23:25.On 25th of October 1854, according to Tennyson, about 600 light
:23:26. > :23:27.cavalry, the Light Brigade, got a confused order
:23:28. > :23:40.This bugle now at the Lancers and Yeomanry Museum in
:23:41. > :23:46.But the troops were heading down the wrong valley
:23:47. > :23:56.Heroic though they were, the Light Brigade were decimated.
:23:57. > :23:58.Over 300 British were killed, wounded or captured
:23:59. > :24:05.Incredibly though, John Burton was one of about 200 survivors.
:24:06. > :24:12.This is the actual case of my ancestor's Crimean War medal.
:24:13. > :24:15.The actual box itself is that it comes from the actual jeweller
:24:16. > :24:20.It has been passed down the family over the generations.
:24:21. > :24:23.When I was a child, we always knew it as the Light Brigade medal.
:24:24. > :24:26.Later discharged from the Army, John Burton returned to
:24:27. > :24:32.It was here in Russell Square in Leicester in 1879 John Burton died,
:24:33. > :24:37.It was then known as the Leicester pension district.
:24:38. > :24:39.Cleared in the 1950s, there is now virtually
:24:40. > :24:42.nothing left that he would recognise.
:24:43. > :24:44.His grave for 130 years has remained unmarked.
:24:45. > :24:48.It is really nice that family members, even this far
:24:49. > :24:51.after the last burial, are willing to come along
:24:52. > :24:55.and put the memorial up to their family members.
:24:56. > :24:58.To walk past it and not even know there is a grave here.
:24:59. > :25:01.It is moving to be here and to think there is no headstone but hopefully
:25:02. > :25:08.Jason hopes to have a headstone in place in time for next year's
:25:09. > :25:24.We are surrounded by history, aren't we? Particularly in the East
:25:25. > :25:30.Midlands for them a beautiful family history. What a thing to be a part
:25:31. > :25:36.of! Now it is time for the weather. Wasn't there some gorgeous sunshine
:25:37. > :25:42.today? Yes, there was. Blink and you'll miss it. It has been a very
:25:43. > :25:47.autumnal day. We had an eerie, Misty sunrise this morning but there was
:25:48. > :25:51.dense fog with stubborn fog patches. It was chilly this morning. I am
:25:52. > :25:56.sure a few of you were scraping the car. As you say we did get some
:25:57. > :25:59.sunshine. The best of that was across northern parts of Derbyshire
:26:00. > :26:03.into the afternoon. Despite sunshine today, it has still been quite
:26:04. > :26:07.chilly for the temperatures are still struggling with that we have
:26:08. > :26:12.had cold easterly winds for the past few weeks. Things are changing now.
:26:13. > :26:17.We have high-pressure slinking southwards. The winds will shift
:26:18. > :26:21.around to a south-westerly direction. Thankfully, at last went
:26:22. > :26:24.thing. To warm up a little bit. It will be a warmer in the next couple
:26:25. > :26:29.of days. In terms of the weather not a lot in a way of change was that we
:26:30. > :26:33.are pretty quiet to take us into November. Largely dry with riders
:26:34. > :26:37.coming through the mist and fog to content within the morning. We have
:26:38. > :26:42.seen cloud increasing. Most of that will stay with us through tonight
:26:43. > :26:46.with a bit of mist and fog forming again particularly in the would be
:26:47. > :26:50.quite dense in the South. Then should not be as much of it further
:26:51. > :26:54.north through the early hours. Tonight will be a lot milder
:26:55. > :26:59.temperatures will stay into double figures in towns and city centres.
:27:00. > :27:03.Perhaps seven, 8 degrees in rural spots. Tomorrow will be a mild
:27:04. > :27:07.start. A bit of mist and fog first thing. The breeze is picking up
:27:08. > :27:12.tomorrow to shift the mist and fog and help to break up the cloud. The
:27:13. > :27:23.chance of a light, drizzly shower. Otherwise it is dry, bright into the
:27:24. > :27:25.afternoon and the winds in the south-westerly direction. Feeling
:27:26. > :27:27.warmer, 14, 15 degrees. Little changing into Thursday and Friday.
:27:28. > :27:29.Staying largely dry and cloudy but on the mild side. That sounds
:27:30. > :27:36.lovely. Brilliant. Good to see the beast and bees doing
:27:37. > :27:43.so well. That is a direct knock-on from Rio. There is a good feeling at
:27:44. > :27:55.that place. I will be back for the late news. Bye-bye.
:27:56. > :27:59.It took us once to get through the novel Anna Karenina.
