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

:00:23.:00:24.

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

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

reports from Middleton near King's Lynn where campaigners are

:01:14.:01:16.

celebrating after winning a four year battle to get the incinerator

:01:17.:01:20.

versus Goliath battle, distributing tens of thousands of leaflets. More

:01:28.:01:32.

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

democracy. You cannot just hgnore democracy. You cannot just ignore

:02:05.:02:06.

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

major issue with the disposal discuss things properly. We have a

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.

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.

murder weapon. A knife used to start this man. James Attfield, stabbed

:07:36.:07:42.

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

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

Work has begun to defend thd A1 at Blythburgh in Suffolk from flooding.

:11:46.:11:48.

Nearly ?1.5 million will be spent building huge banks to protect the

:11:49.:11:51.

road as it crosses the Blyth estuary.

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

:13:43.:13:48.

this technology is so new that you cannot buy it but how long would it

:13:49.:13:52.

take for a family to save that money on their bills? It depends on an

:13:53.:13:56.

:14:20.:14:32.

us eat too much sugar. The health advice comes at an interesting time

:14:33.:14:35.

for British Sugar, who have been told they can produce more of the

white stuff in the years to come. Tonight Jo Taylor has the first

white stuff in the years to come. Tonight Jo Taylor has the fhrst of

:14:42.:14:41.

Tonight Jo Taylor has the first of two special reports looking at the

:14:42.:14:44.

impact sugar is having on the region. Sugar beet is big btsiness

:14:45.:14:51.

region. Sugar beet is big business in the East. Thousands of lorries

:14:52.:14:55.

deliver this unremarkable looking vegetable from farms all ovdr the

:14:56.:14:59.

region where it is turned into the tiny sweet granules we love to eat.

:15:00.:15:02.

On this farm near Waterbeach William Martin is planting the new crop. We

:15:03.:15:06.

shall be putting sugar beet seeds in the ground here tomorrow. William

:15:07.:15:08.

the ground here tomorrow. Whlliam relies on the crop to keep his

:15:09.:15:12.

business going. Sugar is a really important crop for us in the

:15:13.:15:14.

business going. Sugar is a really important crop for us in thd Eastern

:15:15.:15:14.

important crop for us in the Eastern region. We produce three qu`rters of

:15:15.:15:16.

region. We produce three quarters of it here. There is the assochated

:15:17.:15:24.

it here. There is the associated machinery and everything else.

:15:25.:15:31.

British Sugar takes the beet from the farmers. Seven million tonnes of

:15:32.:15:34.

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.

drink industry. We can prob`bly get more sugar through our factories. So

:16:16.:16:18.

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
