:00:00. > :00:07.Hello and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight: In Norfolk,
:00:08. > :00:17.how people power beat the politicians. Plans for a waste
:00:18. > :00:21.incinerator have been scrapped. But in Suffolk, a very similar waste
:00:22. > :00:22.plant is almost ready to roll. Why was there so little opposition

:00:32. > :00:41.lovebirds among the chimneypots. Why these storks are so special.
:00:42. > :00:46.First tonight, what will thdy do with the rubbish in Norfolk now the

:00:54. > :00:57.would cost council tax payers ? 0 would cost council tax payers ? 0
:00:58. > :01:03.million but it was still worth it in the long run. So the county is back
:01:04. > :01:09.to square one when it comes to dealing with its waste. In a moment

:02:05. > :02:06.arguments against the incinerator at arguments against the incindrator at
:02:07. > :02:09.King's Lynn first focused on emissions and possible effects on
:02:10. > :02:12.the health of local people. But it was overtaken by concerns over the
:02:13. > :02:15.cost. Critics saying it promised to be the most expensive waste
:02:16. > :02:18.incinerator in the country. Poor value for money. And then of course
:02:19. > :02:24.there was the politics. The incinerator having a big impact on
:02:25. > :02:27.the balance of power at County Hall. At the Borough Council offices in
:02:28. > :02:29.Kings Lynn, council leader Nick Daubney has stood firm against the
:02:30. > :02:33.development, at loggerheads with many Conservative colleagues at
:02:34. > :02:42.County Hall. He says the suls just didn't add up. What we have seen is
:02:43. > :02:44.a masterclass in how not to consult and Gilbert the public. We have to
:02:45. > :02:45.respect the wishes of people and Gilbert the public. We have to
:02:46. > :02:48.respect the wishes of peopld and discuss things properly. We have a

:02:54. > :02:59.and with saving money and wd have to work together to find those
:03:00. > :03:07.solutions. Those opposing the development at concerned th`t the
:03:08. > :03:18.council is likely to be starting at ?830 million for pulling out of the
:03:19. > :03:20.contract. That's the situation in Norfolk But
:03:21. > :03:23.That's the situation in Norfolk. But what about Suffolk? Work st`rted two
:03:24. > :03:26.what about Suffolk? Work started two years ago on a very similar
:03:27. > :03:30.incinerator at Great Blakenham. It will be up and running by the end of
:03:31. > :03:33.the year. Similar solution, similar location. So why was there hardly
:03:34. > :03:37.any opposition? And could the waste from Norfolk end up in Suffolk. This
:03:38. > :03:41.report from Kevin Burch. Wildlife on the water. Waste plant on the
:03:42. > :03:44.horizon. It's hard to miss. The chimney is 260 feet tall. Btt that's
:03:45. > :03:48.hardly novel. This area once housed a cement works. There's also a
:03:49. > :03:52.landfill operation close by. So it ticks many boxes. But there's
:03:53. > :03:59.another key reason say locals why this ?185 million development ended
:04:00. > :04:04.up here. The key fact drop was that the council owned the land and
:04:05. > :04:04.up here. The key fact drop was that the council owned the land `nd work
:04:05. > :04:06.the council owned the land and work digging themselves planning
:04:07. > :04:09.permission to build on their own land. Did it feel like a fahr
:04:10. > :04:14.land. Did it feel like a fair process? No. And they had most of
:04:15. > :04:16.their fight focussed on another planning battle on their doorstep.
:04:17. > :04:19.Against Snoasis, a proposed winter sports complex. A proposal which
:04:20. > :04:21.ultimately went well off piste. The technology used in both incinerators
:04:22. > :04:24.would've been broadly simil`r. The would've been broadly similar. The
:04:25. > :04:28.County Council in Suffolk s`ys the fact it owned the land was a help,
:04:29. > :04:35.but it still had to clear hurdles. And its policy from the start was to
:04:36. > :04:41.be open and honest. Both Suffolk county council and the comp`ny have
:04:42. > :04:46.done a lot of work talking to the local community. We have a community
:04:47. > :04:52.liaison group and I go out to talk to parish councils. And if H think
:04:53. > :04:53.there may be something people could be concerned about I. And t`lk to
:04:54. > :04:59.people. `` I will talk to people. people. `` I will talk to people.
:05:00. > :05:03.Residents still worry about the impact on roads. Especially if the
:05:04. > :05:05.waste comes in from Norfolk too And with council leaders committed
:05:06. > :05:07.through a signed agreement to collaborate more, it's a
:05:08. > :05:13.possibility. It is early daxs and we possibility. It is early days and we
:05:14. > :05:19.need to sit down with Norfolk and find a way in which we can help
:05:20. > :05:23.them. The door is open for that discussion. As for the future,
:05:24. > :05:30.there's still much to ponder. As for the look of the place, well, opinion
:05:31. > :05:34.is divided. It is iconic, a work of art. It is hideous. Like it or
:05:35. > :05:38.loathe it, it's unquestionably here to stay.
:05:39. > :05:43.Our business correspondent Richard Bond is here. First of all where
:05:44. > :05:48.does Norfolk's waste go at the moment? Well there is about 400,000
:05:49. > :05:52.moment? Well there is about 400 000 tonnes of waste per year and Norfolk
:05:53. > :05:56.manages to recycle nearly half of manages to recycle nearly half of
:05:57. > :06:00.that. Of the rest virtually all of it goes to landfill in Norfolk. That
:06:01. > :06:06.is clearly not a green thing to do and is also expensive because of the
:06:07. > :06:07.landfill tax. The remainder of that waste goes to an incinerator in
:06:08. > :06:12.Kent. What are the options `vailable Kent. What are the options `vailable
:06:13. > :06:13.to the council now the incinerator is to be scrapped. There are
:06:14. > :06:16.to the council now the incinerator is to be scrapped. There ard three
:06:17. > :06:21.options, the main one to carry on with landfill. There are three
:06:22. > :06:39.landfill site in Norfolk. Edgefield, black bra and Oldbury. `
:06:40. > :06:41.Blackborough. That has still a lot of capacity and could be used for
:06:42. > :06:45.another 20 odd years. The sdcond another 20 odd years. The second
:06:46. > :06:46.option for the Council is to use waste treatment centres outside the
:06:47. > :06:56.county. There is a cancer centre county. There is a cancer cdntre
:06:57. > :06:57.that is already used and also facilities in Lincolnshire `nd
:06:58. > :07:01.facilities in Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire. The last option the
:07:02. > :07:05.council is looking at is to have another go at building a waste
:07:06. > :07:10.treatment centre in Norfolk. Clearly a hot potato. They're not saying
:07:11. > :07:13.where or what technology might be used.
:07:14. > :07:17.A fingertip search of a park in Colchester is being carried out
:07:18. > :07:20.after a murder there at the weekend. The body of James Attfield was found
:07:21. > :07:24.in the early hours of Saturday morning. He has more than 100 wounds
:07:25. > :07:30.to his body. Detectives have yet to make an arrest and admit thdy don't
:07:31. > :07:35.have a motive. Not far from the school playground, a search for a
:07:36. > :07:42.murder weapon. A knife used to start this man. James Attfield, stabbed
:07:43. > :07:45.100 and two times. He was found fatally injured in Colchestdr

:08:00. > :08:00.We're learning more about James Attfield, described as shy `nd

:08:07. > :08:10.accident which left him with a brain injury that affected his reasoning
:08:11. > :08:14.and speech. He avoided busy pubs and had few friends his own age. His
:08:15. > :08:16.relatively solitary lifestyle makes this investigation even more
:08:17. > :08:21.this investigation even mord difficult for the police. How many
:08:22. > :08:26.officers are involved in thd officers are involved in the
:08:27. > :08:31.search? It varies considerably. To date superintendent O'Meley gave
:08:32. > :08:37.interview after interview, repeated appeals for public help to catch the
:08:38. > :08:39.killer or killers. I do not think there is any clear motive for what
