:00:11. > :00:19.In Look East tonight: Exclusive pictures as the police in Norfolk

:00:19. > :00:21.become the first force in the country to ask clubbers to be

:00:21. > :00:24.breathalysed. The drunk driving limit is

:00:24. > :00:31.35mc/100ml, but actually, in the cases we were seeing on Norwich on

:00:31. > :00:36.Saturday night, we had people who were blowing more than double that.

:00:36. > :00:39.Hello and welcome to the programme. Also tonight: Would a Labour

:00:39. > :00:43.government carry on with plans for an A14 toll road? No guarantees from

:00:43. > :00:51.the Shadow Transport Secretary. What they've come up with isn't all

:00:51. > :00:52.convincing and so I think we would certainly be wanting to have a look

:00:52. > :00:57.at if what they're proposing is the right way forward.

:00:57. > :01:02.Plans for a £1.5 billion gas storage project off the coast of Norfolk

:01:02. > :01:07.have been abandoned. More than a 1000 jobs would have been created.

:01:07. > :01:15.And the return of the Lister motor car, after the glory days of the

:01:15. > :01:22.1950s. First tonight: The latest weapon in

:01:22. > :01:25.the battle against binge drinking — clubbers being breathalysed at the

:01:25. > :01:31.nightclub door. It happened for the first time in

:01:31. > :01:37.this country this weekend in the centre of Norwich. The idea is to

:01:37. > :01:43.stop people who have had too much to drink from getting into clubs. It

:01:43. > :01:52.comes just a week after the Chief Constable of Northamptonshire came

:01:52. > :01:53.up with the idea of "drunk tanks" — private cells where people who are

:01:53. > :01:57.very drunk can be held overnight and then made to pay for their care. Our

:01:57. > :02:03.reporter Nikki Fox was out with the clubbers on Saturday night.

:02:03. > :02:10.On the PM and these people are around 20,000 did go clubbing in

:02:10. > :02:13.Norwich City centre every weekend. Many of them have been drinking

:02:13. > :02:19.before they go out. It is what police called freeloading. These

:02:19. > :02:25.breath tests are new idea. It is hoped they can reduce excess

:02:25. > :02:30.drinking. The drink drive limit is 35 micrograms but we are seeing

:02:30. > :02:38.cases of people who were blowing more than double that. Midnight, and

:02:38. > :02:43.the clubs start to get busy. The 24—hour drinking policy was

:02:43. > :02:49.introduced eight years ago. I find out the culture hasn't changed.

:02:49. > :02:59.People drink just as much. We have had cocktails, vodka, shots. If you

:02:59. > :03:07.drink before you know you're safe. A couple of jobs, probably. We are not

:03:07. > :03:18.very big drinkers. No. I think everyone has shots because they're

:03:18. > :03:23.cheaper. Vodka. It is not just drink that is the problem. This is a drugs

:03:23. > :03:33.dog. She can recognise cocaine, cannabis or pills. The dog has smelt

:03:33. > :03:38.something suspicious and the police are searching this gentleman. This

:03:38. > :03:42.time she doesn't find anything but her presence is our deterrent. A

:03:42. > :03:50.stolen passport also turns up. Someone has used it to get into a

:03:50. > :03:55.club. A mobile CCTV van watches for trouble. There is a man here having

:03:55. > :04:06.trouble with a cashpoint. I thought I saw him strike it. Some weight for

:04:07. > :04:14.a taxi and others get the right form —— a ride from the police. It has

:04:14. > :04:18.just gone to a end and with thousands of people still on the

:04:18. > :04:23.streets police are hoping things like breathalysers could reduce the

:04:23. > :04:27.amount of trouble. This is the early stages of something that potentially

:04:27. > :04:37.may go national which I don't necessarily think is a bad thing. If

:04:37. > :04:43.everyplace had a breathalyser and that people knew they wouldn't get

:04:44. > :04:55.in if they failed a breath test, that could go a long way to address

:04:55. > :05:04.the issues of pride loading. Police said our time with the idea of drunk

:05:04. > :05:10.tanks. What we have to look at with the concept of a drunk tank is the

:05:10. > :05:14.responsibility of looking after an individual being put on somebody

:05:14. > :05:19.other than them. Whether it is the police, hospitals or a private

:05:19. > :05:22.contractor. We are trying to get individuals to take responsibility

:05:22. > :05:30.for their own actions. Police can't change drink culture but they want

:05:30. > :05:32.people to know their limits and understand the consequences of their

:05:32. > :05:39.behaviour. Plans to upgrade the A14 have been

:05:39. > :05:42.thrown into doubt by Labour. The Coalition Government wants to

:05:42. > :05:47.replace a busy stretch of the road through Cambridgeshire with a toll

:05:47. > :05:51.road. But the Shadow Transport Secretary says she's not convinced.

:05:51. > :05:54.Our political correspondent Andrew Sinclair reports from the Labour

:05:54. > :05:56.Party conference in Brighton. Everyone is agreed that this road is

:05:56. > :06:02.in desperate need of improvement. But with a price tag of £1.5

:06:02. > :06:06.billion, how do you afford it? At the Labour conference, the issue

:06:06. > :06:11.keeps coming up during Gates about transport. Respected organisations

:06:11. > :06:15.have expressed their concerns. The effects of this hasn't been thought

:06:15. > :06:24.through. The evidence from elsewhere, from the M6 Toll Rd, is

:06:24. > :06:31.that people go quite a long way not to have to pay. We think this won't

:06:31. > :06:36.solve the problems on the A14 and it will make things worse in the wider

:06:36. > :06:42.area. Labour's transport spokesman came to Cambridge in summer to offer

:06:42. > :06:47.support for the plans. But now there is a different message from the

:06:47. > :06:52.person who could be Transport Secretary in two years more time. I

:06:52. > :06:59.don't forget is convincing. We would want to have a look at what they are

:06:59. > :07:05.proposing to see if it is the right way forward. I don't think they will

:07:05. > :07:09.have got very far with this by the election. If this isn't the way

:07:09. > :07:15.forward, how do you afford improvements? We have to have a

:07:15. > :07:23.close look at the entire situation. She is worried that even if the toll

:07:23. > :07:31.is kept low, drivers will avoid the route. Opposition is growing. The

:07:31. > :07:35.government is proposing a tax on getting to Suffolk and to

:07:35. > :07:41.Felixstowe. We know that Felixstowe will face competition from the

:07:41. > :07:46.London Gateway. This will make things worse. There is a

:07:47. > :07:55.consultation which lasts for another month. The government says it will

:07:55. > :07:59.lessen but that it can't afford to put more money into the A14.

:07:59. > :08:03.Andrew Sinclair is still in Brighton. Earlier this afternoon I

:08:03. > :08:09.asked him where this all leaves the future of the A14.

:08:09. > :08:15.You will note that the Transport Secretary didn't say that Labour

:08:15. > :08:24.would scrap the plans. She just sent Labour would take a close look. She

:08:24. > :08:28.said that the next Labour manifesto would not propose any toll roads.

:08:28. > :08:35.Also, there is a lot of opposition here so there is a big question

:08:35. > :08:44.hanging over this. The government has said they can only afford to pay

:08:44. > :08:48.for the road by tolling it. The Shadow Transport Secretary says that

:08:48. > :08:52.either pay for it with public money or scrap it altogether.

:08:52. > :08:54.Does that mean we could be back to square one?

:08:54. > :09:02.It is possible. It is frustrating for people who work in business

:09:02. > :09:09.because big infrastructure projects take a long time to plan and the

:09:09. > :09:12.last thing builders want is that an —— uncertainty of governments

:09:12. > :09:21.changing their minds every five years. I think the case for the A14

:09:22. > :09:26.has been made firmly at Westminster over the last few years and both

:09:26. > :09:32.parties get it to that the road needs improvements. I think the

:09:32. > :09:36.debate is now whether to call it or pay for it from the public purse.

:09:36. > :09:43.A £1.5 billion gas storage project which was planned for the North Sea

:09:43. > :09:49.off the coast of Norfolk has been abandoned. 1200 jobs would have been

:09:49. > :09:52.created. Centrica, which was hoping to develop the Baird Field, has

:09:53. > :09:54.blamed "weak economics" and a government decision not to subsidise

:09:54. > :10:01.the scheme. Two miles beneath here is a vast

:10:01. > :10:05.reservoir of gas. The sandstone act as a massive sponge. Gas is pumped

:10:06. > :10:14.into it and taken out again depending on demand. When demand and

:10:14. > :10:19.prices are low we take a gas and put it in to the sandstone and in winter

:10:20. > :10:24.we let the gas flow back out into the national transmission system.

:10:24. > :10:37.Today, Centrica torpedoed plans for a similar facility. It says it can't

:10:37. > :10:41.afford the Baird Field facility. The Department for energy says its

:10:41. > :10:53.decision not saved consumers £750 million over a decade. Is this one

:10:53. > :11:01.really needed? I think it is. It is useful for jobs for our region and

:11:01. > :11:10.also having reserves of gas. In March, the country's gas supplies

:11:10. > :11:15.fell dangerously low. We had only 21 days compared with more in Germany

:11:16. > :11:21.and France. The gas would come ashore here at this terminal in

:11:21. > :11:27.Norfolk stopped some fear that less local storage would mean a greater

:11:27. > :11:34.reliance on importing from less stable countries like Russia. It is

:11:34. > :11:38.open to debate but what can't be disputed is that local jobs were

:11:38. > :11:50.lost on a development unlikely to be resurrected.

:11:50. > :11:58.Still to come, we are in Frinton MIDI Champion Sand sculptor.

:11:58. > :12:06.It has been warm and humid but what does the rest of the week have in

:12:06. > :12:11.store? All the details later. Last week we reported on the

:12:11. > :12:18.problems facing our councils becasuse of our ageing population.

:12:18. > :12:24.Tonight, we hear from the man who was asked to come up with the

:12:24. > :12:24.answers in Essex. Among the ideas from Sir Tom

:12:24. > :12:32.Hughes—Hallett: Recruiting volunteers who will offer to help

:12:32. > :12:32.the sick and elderly who live nearby. Encouraging people to use

:12:32. > :12:38.their pharmacists more. We'll hear from Sir Tom in a moment but first

:12:38. > :12:41.Debbie Tubby on a challenge facing every council in this region.

:12:41. > :12:44.Milton Keynes is said to have become Britain's pensioner capital. By

:12:44. > :12:51.2030, the government predicts a 110% rise in over 65 is. In the next

:12:51. > :12:54.decade, the number of people aged 18 or over will double. This will put

:12:54. > :12:59.pressure on services. Norfolk County Council already has 22% of its

:12:59. > :13:03.population 65 or over. We have about 13,000 people diagnosed with

:13:03. > :13:08.dementia. That figure will bubble in the next 15 years. To describe it as

:13:08. > :13:13.an explosion is possibly an understatement. Cambridge is said to

:13:13. > :13:19.be the fastest—growing county in the country in terms of population. The

:13:19. > :13:23.County Council says it is taking that into account in all of its

:13:23. > :13:29.planning. Meanwhile, Suffolk County Council has transferred the running

:13:29. > :13:33.of its care homes into the hands of a private provider in preparation

:13:33. > :13:36.for its ageing population. Others say an ageing population creates

:13:36. > :13:44.economic and social benefits. Many old people choose to work as a

:13:44. > :13:50.matter of choice or out of financial necessity. The idea that old people

:13:50. > :13:55.are burden is not accurate at all. Meanwhile, this report says people

:13:55. > :14:00.should take more responsibility for their own health. They should be

:14:00. > :14:06.prepared to pay for some services and that communities could support

:14:06. > :14:12.some people. Earlier today, I spoke to Sir Tom

:14:13. > :14:17.Hughes—Hallett, the man behind that report, and I started by asking

:14:17. > :14:22.about what he has learned and what he hopes will happen now. My

:14:22. > :14:26.findings were targeted at trying to just come up with a few bold ideals

:14:26. > :14:34.to solve a very big problem. The first key idea was to hand back to

:14:34. > :14:39.the people of Essex the responsibility for their own health

:14:39. > :14:43.care. From the evidence I took, it was quite clear that the ball were

:14:44. > :14:49.up for that and, indeed, almost wanted to do it. People were

:14:49. > :14:56.prepared to look after their car, so they were prepared to look after

:14:56. > :15:00.their body as long as the state is there to fix it when there is a

:15:00. > :15:04.problem. What should happen to those people who don't look after

:15:04. > :15:12.themselves very well? Well, I think there will always be cars that

:15:12. > :15:19.breakdown on motorways at 2am without insurance. There is not a

:15:19. > :15:23.lot you can do about that but the reality is people are changing

:15:23. > :15:28.already. 40% of the people I interviewed in Braintree now regard

:15:28. > :15:36.their first point of call for health care being their pharmacy or Google.

:15:36. > :15:43.A lot of the people were talking about getting into their 60s or 70s

:15:43. > :15:50.or 80s are people who have paid in from cradle to grave health care and

:15:50. > :15:57.now you're saying we can't afford it. That is not the case. What

:15:57. > :16:00.people paid in for, they should get. If you break your head when you're

:16:00. > :16:06.75 then of course you should expect a hospital to be available to you to

:16:06. > :16:12.provide you with urgent care. What I'm saying is that we need to make

:16:12. > :16:18.sure, as communities, that we know who is really vulnerable and take

:16:18. > :16:24.the time to look out for people in our street who are likely to trip or

:16:24. > :16:29.fall or who need support to get drugs from their pharmacy, rather

:16:29. > :16:34.than standing by and letting them crash and burn. If we don't adopt

:16:34. > :16:41.these measures, what will happen to health care? I may be wrong but I

:16:41. > :16:45.don't think I am. I had a fantastic team working with me and we

:16:45. > :16:54.interviewed hundreds of people. What I do know is if we don't take action

:16:54. > :17:01.now, in 15 years' time, our children and people in their 30s and 40s are

:17:01. > :17:05.going to face problems that make the problem is that I will face look

:17:05. > :17:11.like a picnic. What are those problems? There won't be enough

:17:11. > :17:20.people to care. That is why I called this commission who will care?

:17:20. > :17:27.Anyone familiar with the history of motor racing knows names like

:17:27. > :17:33.Maserati and Ferrari. But back in the 1950s and 1960s there was

:17:33. > :17:35.another big name. Lister of Cambridge doesn't have

:17:35. > :17:41.quite the same ring about it, but 60 years ago they were taking on the

:17:41. > :17:45.big boys and beating them. And now Lister is making a comeback.

:17:45. > :17:50.Racing green and its yellow stripe. The Lister Jaguar. In the late 50s,

:17:50. > :17:58.it on pretty much everything. It was built on a shoestring budget in

:17:58. > :18:20.Cambridge. This car was the first of the new generation Lister. ALL the

:18:20. > :18:28.Lister cars were great. He won 11 of his 14 races. On his right, the man

:18:28. > :18:38.who built the first Lister. Not many were made. Now, a new investor has

:18:38. > :18:45.relaunched the Lister, once again to in Cambridge. We will build four and

:18:45. > :18:49.next year we hope to build six. We build them very slowly. It is a

:18:49. > :19:02.craftsmanship product, not mass produced. When we see them on the

:19:02. > :19:08.road? The bodywork is sent in pieces and assembled here. Eventually, when

:19:08. > :19:13.put together it will look like that. Just like the original. They won't

:19:13. > :19:17.be cheap, costing in the hundreds of thousands, but they will produce

:19:17. > :19:21.jobs. It is a fantastic thing for UK manufacturing. We have already

:19:21. > :19:26.employed a number of people to start working at the factory and this is

:19:26. > :19:34.the start of the UK manufacturing recovery. It is a car from Cambridge

:19:34. > :19:40.that led the way in motor sport. 60 years on, the Lister is back.

:19:40. > :19:44.For every second of every day, our brains are working, controlling

:19:44. > :19:49.everything we do and say. But what happens when the brain is damaged

:19:49. > :19:54.because of a serious head injury? James Piercy was involved in a

:19:54. > :19:59.serious road accident. His wife died, his children were injured and

:19:59. > :20:04.he was left battling with damage to his brain. James is with us now.

:20:04. > :20:13.How are you and what has happened to the brain in that time? I'm well,

:20:13. > :20:18.thanks. Over the last two and a half years, my brain has been rewiring

:20:18. > :20:22.itself and learning new ways to do things. I still have some problems

:20:22. > :20:26.and struggle a bit but mostly I am much better. I suffered some other

:20:26. > :20:31.damage in the accident which left one of the muscles which controls my

:20:31. > :20:37.eyeball not functioning some it doesn't move quite right and I get

:20:37. > :20:43.double vision. On the +8, I get to wear a cool patch. What did your

:20:43. > :20:47.brain need to retrain? What is important is the pathways and

:20:47. > :20:52.connections between different cells in your brain. There are something

:20:52. > :20:57.like a million pathways for every second you are alive. If they are

:20:57. > :21:05.disrupted, the connections break and your brain finds it harder to work

:21:06. > :21:11.and has to find new ways to do that. I just want to show a clip of what

:21:11. > :21:15.can happen to you when the brain isn't going as well as you like it.

:21:15. > :21:23.Getting a little bit tired... And sometimes I get a twitch... And my

:21:23. > :21:27.words won't come out quite right. I'll probably need to eat something

:21:27. > :21:39.soon. Food and arrest, is it? After that

:21:39. > :21:47.clip was filmed, I had a meal and rested for an hour and I was fine.

:21:47. > :21:52.You are giving talks to people to educate them about brain injuries.

:21:52. > :21:55.That's right, I am going round the country to talk about brain

:21:55. > :22:03.injuries. I have been enormously lucky. There are millions living

:22:03. > :22:06.with the aftermath of a serious head injury. I hope your recovery

:22:06. > :22:13.continues to go well. You can see David Whiteley's film

:22:13. > :22:20.about James in Inside Out East at 7:30pm on BBC One.

:22:20. > :22:26.Most of us struggle to make a good sand castle, let alone a sand

:22:26. > :22:27.sculpture. But for a talented few, it's an artform, complete with its

:22:27. > :22:32.own world championship. Nicola Wood is a two—time world

:22:32. > :22:37.champion and today she's been busy on the sea front at Frinton in Essex

:22:37. > :22:46.today. Alex Dolan has been watching. Yes, Nicola is still hard at work.

:22:46. > :22:53.It has taken her two days to create this voluptuous lady. She has not

:22:53. > :22:58.finished yet but has come a long way since lunchtime. You have to work

:22:58. > :23:04.from the top down because after a certain stage, I can't walk back a

:23:04. > :23:11.bit. Nicola loves working with sand. Today she is working with tonnes of

:23:11. > :23:18.the stuff. I'm working on her arms at the moment. She will just be

:23:18. > :23:22.relaxing in the sun. Nicholl has created sand sculptures all over the

:23:22. > :23:30.world. Her latest takes inspiration from traditional seaside postcards.

:23:30. > :23:36.When you're carving something of this scale, the kind of SanDisk

:23:36. > :23:43.ritual. The sand here is very old. It has been washed back and forth

:23:43. > :23:55.with the tide and the greens are very round. A young sand is... It is

:23:55. > :24:01.not brilliant to work with but that is the fun of it. It is challenging

:24:01. > :24:05.to work with. What is it like to work for days on something that gets

:24:05. > :24:14.washed away? I like the whole circle of it. Nicholl has just stopped work

:24:14. > :24:21.to join us now. I am in awe of what you have achieved. However you

:24:21. > :24:24.feeling about where you have got to? I think we are on target to finish

:24:24. > :24:32.tomorrow. I'm happy so far. Are getting there. What about whether?

:24:32. > :24:37.What happens if it rains? Not a great deal, hopefully. The sand is

:24:37. > :24:43.very absorbent. Hopefully if it rains, it will just the surface

:24:43. > :24:48.damage that we can repair. You can come and have a look at her tomorrow

:24:48. > :24:54.evening. What did they call her?

:24:54. > :24:59.Strapping. Is it going to rain? No, not as it

:24:59. > :25:11.stands. You can see that the best of the

:25:11. > :25:15.sunshine was in eastern and southern parts, taking the temperatures up to

:25:15. > :25:22.21 Celsius. Even where we had thicker cloud, it didn't feel too

:25:22. > :25:27.bad because we had warm and humid air feeding across the country.

:25:27. > :25:31.Overnight, good news for sand sculptures. It is set to stay dry.

:25:31. > :25:36.The combination of clear spells and light winds means we will see some

:25:36. > :25:43.mist and dense fog patches developments. It is not a cold night

:25:43. > :25:50.anywhere. Tomorrow, this is actually a ridge of high pressure which keeps

:25:50. > :25:56.this system at bay for the time being and keeps this front away,

:25:56. > :26:02.too. Tomorrow, a dry start to the day. It may take a while for the

:26:59. > :27:06.Thursday, again, almost a repeat performance. A subtle change, we are

:27:11. > :27:16.Friday. But, again, the showers fairly well scattered. Those are
