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

In Essex, a new appeal for witnesses after the murder of this father of | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
five. Officers admit they have no motive for the crime. And the | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
lovebirds among the chimneypots. Why these storks are so special. | :00:32. | :00:41. | |
First tonight, what will thdy do with the rubbish in Norfolk now the | :00:42. | :00:46. | |

million but it was still worth it in the long run. So the county is back | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
to square one when it comes to dealing with its waste. In a moment | :01:04. | :01:09. | |

celebrating after winning a four year battle to get the incinerator | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
scrapped. They call it "the bunker". The farmhouse where the four year | :01:21. | :01:23. | |

than 20 public debates have been held right across the countx. Today | :01:33. | :01:40. | |
held right across the county. Today it was too early they say for | :01:41. | :01:41. | |
champagne celebrations. We `re happy champagne celebrations. We are happy | :01:42. | :01:50. | |
but it is not over yet. That does wait until Monday. This is about | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
wait until Monday. This is `bout cost and environment but also about | :01:53. | :01:54. | |

King's Lynn first focused on emissions and possible effects on | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
the health of local people. But it was overtaken by concerns over the | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
cost. Critics saying it promised to be the most expensive waste | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
incinerator in the country. Poor value for money. And then of course | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
there was the politics. The incinerator having a big impact on | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
the balance of power at County Hall. At the Borough Council offices in | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
Kings Lynn, council leader Nick Daubney has stood firm against the | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
development, at loggerheads with many Conservative colleagues at | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
County Hall. He says the suls just didn't add up. What we have seen is | :02:34. | :02:42. | |
a masterclass in how not to consult and Gilbert the public. We have to | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
respect the wishes of people and Gilbert the public. We have to | :02:45. | :02:45. | |
respect the wishes of peopld and discuss things properly. We have a | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
major issue with the disposal discuss things properly. We have a | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
major issue with the dispos`l waste major issue with the disposal waste | :02:51. | :02:51. | |
and with saving money and wd major issue with the dispos`l waste | :02:52. | :02:52. | |
and with saving money and we have major issue with the disposal waste | :02:53. | :02:53. | |
and with saving money and wd have to work together to find those | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
solutions. Those opposing the development at concerned th`t the | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
council is likely to be starting at ?830 million for pulling out of the | :03:08. | :03:18. | |
contract. That's the situation in Norfolk But | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
That's the situation in Norfolk. But what about Suffolk? Work st`rted two | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
what about Suffolk? Work started two years ago on a very similar | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
incinerator at Great Blakenham. It will be up and running by the end of | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
the year. Similar solution, similar location. So why was there hardly | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
any opposition? And could the waste from Norfolk end up in Suffolk. This | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
report from Kevin Burch. Wildlife on the water. Waste plant on the | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
horizon. It's hard to miss. The chimney is 260 feet tall. Btt that's | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
hardly novel. This area once housed a cement works. There's also a | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
landfill operation close by. So it ticks many boxes. But there's | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
another key reason say locals why this ?185 million development ended | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
up here. The key fact drop was that the council owned the land and | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
up here. The key fact drop was that the council owned the land `nd work | :04:05. | :04:04. | |
the council owned the land and work digging themselves planning | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
permission to build on their own land. Did it feel like a fahr | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
land. Did it feel like a fair process? No. And they had most of | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
their fight focussed on another planning battle on their doorstep. | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
Against Snoasis, a proposed winter sports complex. A proposal which | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
ultimately went well off piste. The technology used in both incinerators | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
would've been broadly simil`r. The would've been broadly similar. The | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
County Council in Suffolk s`ys the fact it owned the land was a help, | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
but it still had to clear hurdles. And its policy from the start was to | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
be open and honest. Both Suffolk county council and the comp`ny have | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
done a lot of work talking to the local community. We have a community | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
liaison group and I go out to talk to parish councils. And if H think | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
there may be something people could be concerned about I. And t`lk to | :04:53. | :04:53. | |
people. `` I will talk to people. people. `` I will talk to people. | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
Residents still worry about the impact on roads. Especially if the | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
waste comes in from Norfolk too And with council leaders committed | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
through a signed agreement to collaborate more, it's a | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
possibility. It is early daxs and we possibility. It is early days and we | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
need to sit down with Norfolk and find a way in which we can help | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
them. The door is open for that discussion. As for the future, | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
there's still much to ponder. As for the look of the place, well, opinion | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
is divided. It is iconic, a work of art. It is hideous. Like it or | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
loathe it, it's unquestionably here to stay. | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
Our business correspondent Richard Bond is here. First of all where | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
does Norfolk's waste go at the moment? Well there is about 400,000 | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
moment? Well there is about 400 000 tonnes of waste per year and Norfolk | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
manages to recycle nearly half of manages to recycle nearly half of | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
that. Of the rest virtually all of it goes to landfill in Norfolk. That | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
is clearly not a green thing to do and is also expensive because of the | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
landfill tax. The remainder of that waste goes to an incinerator in | :06:07. | :06:07. | |
Kent. What are the options `vailable Kent. What are the options `vailable | :06:08. | :06:12. | |

to the council now the incinerator is to be scrapped. There ard three | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
options, the main one to carry on with landfill. There are three | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
landfill site in Norfolk. Edgefield, black bra and Oldbury. ` | :06:22. | :06:39. | |
Blackborough. That has still a lot of capacity and could be used for | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
another 20 odd years. The sdcond another 20 odd years. The second | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
option for the Council is to use waste treatment centres outside the | :06:46. | :06:46. | |
county. There is a cancer centre county. There is a cancer cdntre | :06:47. | :06:56. | |
that is already used and also facilities in Lincolnshire `nd | :06:57. | :06:57. | |
facilities in Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire. The last option the | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
council is looking at is to have another go at building a waste | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
treatment centre in Norfolk. Clearly a hot potato. They're not saying | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
where or what technology might be used. | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
A fingertip search of a park in Colchester is being carried out | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
after a murder there at the weekend. The body of James Attfield was found | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
in the early hours of Saturday morning. He has more than 100 wounds | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
to his body. Detectives have yet to make an arrest and admit thdy don't | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
have a motive. Not far from the school playground, a search for a | :07:31. | :07:35. | |

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

A coroner has heard how a couple from Norfolk meticulously planned | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
their double suicide. The pair were sent `` were found dead at their | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
home in January. Today a coroner confirmed they had taken thdir own | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
confirmed they had taken their own lives. The corner heard how Pete and | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
June Jackson had received a letter from their friends of 30 years | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
from their friends of 30 ye`rs saying by the time you read this, we | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
will be dead. It was just scary, we will be dead. It was just scary, we | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
did not know what to do. It was devastating. We cannot get over it. | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
There is a void in our life that we will never feel. The couple were | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
found dead at their home and around the house, post`it notes were found | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
saying the contents of the cupboards had been washed and cleaned. They | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
also left more letters for friends putting their affairs in order. This | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
letter was sent to one neighbour and in it they apologised for dhsturbing | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
the peaceful routine of their little the peaceful routine of thehr little | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
enclave. They also mentioned that the window cleaner had been paid and | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
it ends saying hope your next neighbours are better quality. They | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
requested no flowers, no burial nothing. It is the most difficult | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
thing. The father of Susan Williams was also at the inquest this | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
afternoon to hear about his daughter 's death. She suffered from | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
depression and sleeping problems but there were no thoughts suichde. But | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
Reginald Williams did write this book talking about how you can | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
choose when it is time to go. The couple decided they did not want to | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
be in a nursing home and whdn they be in a nursing home and whdn they | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
got too old to cope they would end got too old to cope they would end | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
their lives. Outside the inpuest her friends said a photograph of the | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
couple would not be released. They were private in life and evdn more | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
were private in life and even more so after death. | :11:20. | :11:31. | |
The death of a woman whose body was found in a broad near Norwich is not | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
being treated as suspicious. Police were called to Little Whitlingham | :11:35. | :11:35. | |
were called to Little Whitlhngham Broad late this morning. The dead | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
woman is believed to be Lis` Pollini who was last seen in Cringleford two | :11:40. | :11:42. | |

Nearly ?1.5 million will be spent building huge banks to protect the | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
road as it crosses the Blyth estuary. | :11:52. | :12:01. | |
The best way to cut energy bills is to cut energy use. But that is not | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
always easy to do. Imagine if you could set differed temperattres in | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
your house and control your heating and lighting remotely through your | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
mobile phone. Some families in Milton Keynes are doing just that, | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
testing the new technology for the energy company E`on. And as Lousie | :12:20. | :12:25. | |

it is sent to four factories, three of them in our region, and turned | :15:35. | :15:36. | |
into not just sugar, but anhmal feed into not just sugar, but animal feed | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
and even bioethanol and electricity. British Sugar is the sole processor | :15:41. | :15:41. | |
of sugar beet in the countrx. There of sugar beet in the country. There | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
are 2,500 vehicle movements every day. And 13,000 jobs are supported. | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
And it looks to get even bigger. And it looks to get even bigger. | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
They are investing hundreds of millions of pounds ready for when | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
production restrictions are lifted in 2017. EU quotas were introduced | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
in 2006 to control supply and encourage importing of sugar from | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
countries such as Brazil, Barbados, and Kenya. But now they are being | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
lifted to help Britain's food and drink industry. We can prob`bly | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
lifted to help Britain's food and drink industry. We can probably get | :16:16. | :16:15. | |

if we can be a larger busindss if we can be a larger busindss | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
there's opportunity for job growth. But farmers say there's still a | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
chance the opportunity could turn sour for them. What we have really | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
enjoyed as sugar beet growers in the past has been the reliability and | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
consistency of the crop. Th`t's not consistency of the crop. Th`t's not | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
going to be quite the same. But our love affair with all things sweet | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
shows no sign of abating. So this big business in the East looks set | :16:42. | :16:43. | |
to get even bigger in the ftture. to get even bigger in the future. | :16:44. | :16:49. | |

not to mention their World T20 exit, which left fans a little miserable. | :19:34. | :19:42. | |
But the County championship gets under way this month, with plenty of | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
optimism for Essex. They have the England captain back, as well as | :19:47. | :19:49. | |

We want to get up and play Division 1 cricket in 2015. Tymal Mills is | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
tipped for a big England future. He can bowl at more than 95 miles per | :21:21. | :21:24. | |

nest. White stalks are long`distance migrating birds spending winter in | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
warmer climes as far away as South Africa. So having them here is | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
extremely rare and if they do breed, it is believed to be the first time | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
in this country in almost 600 years. It is extremely unusual to have them | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
nesting in the wild which they effectively are. Several ye`rs ago | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
we tried to establish a pair of breeding stalks here and made a nest | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
for them but this breeding pair chose to ignore what we had offered | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
