:08:06. > :08:09.battled with such passion. She was the complete warrior on the tennis
:08:10. > :08:12.court, and I think people are now starting to realise just how much
:08:13. > :08:17.she was taking on privately. I think this liver condition was such a
:08:18. > :08:19.hurdle for her to overcome. She had such fantastic support from those
:08:20. > :08:24.around her. And for her to achieve around her. And for her to `chieve
:08:25. > :08:26.what she did achieve, those were incredible achievements, and ones
:08:27. > :08:35.which will be remembered with huge fondness here in Ipswich.

:08:58. > :09:00.a lot about the European eldctions but there is another campaign also
:09:01. > :09:04.underway. Local elections are being held in 20 authorities in the region

:09:08. > :09:10.means no one party has overall means no one party has over`ll
:09:11. > :09:14.control. One of the most interesting battles is in Great Yarmouth where
:09:15. > :09:16.Labour has a majority of just one seat. Our political Correspondent
:09:17. > :09:17.Andrew Sinclair reports. Along the great Yarmouth se`front,
:09:18. > :09:20.Along the great Yarmouth seafront, there is no shortage of places
:09:21. > :09:24.offering the chance to strike it lucky. Which is what the local
:09:25. > :09:27.council here needs to do. For several years now, the authority has
:09:28. > :09:30.received some of the lowest grants in the country from the govdrnment.
:09:31. > :09:33.It has to find ?10 million of savings over three years.
:09:34. > :09:37.It is just not fair funding, basically. So yeah, we do think we
:09:38. > :09:40.have been dealt a bad hand. But why can't you be more efficient?
:09:41. > :09:42.Other councils seem to manage. We are being more efficient but you
:09:43. > :09:44.have got to bear in mind th`t We are being more efficient but you
:09:45. > :09:46.have got to bear in mind that we have got to bear in mind th`t we
:09:47. > :09:49.have taken the biggest hit hn the United Kingdom. Other councils have
:09:50. > :09:54.actually had percentage increases and we have had a cut of 44$.
:09:55. > :09:58.Labour is making this the main issue in the local election. And what
:09:59. > :10:01.makes it more noteworthy is that the minister who has cut Yarmouth 's
:10:02. > :10:04.grants is the local MP Brandon Lewis. The Conservatives who used to
:10:05. > :10:08.run this authority said the funding formula was altered by the last
:10:09. > :10:12.Labour government. Mr Lewis has found extra money to help the
:10:13. > :10:16.council they say but in turn it needs to be more efficient.
:10:17. > :10:19.We have a chief executive officer on a chief executive officer on
:10:20. > :10:22.?110,000 per year. Why? We could share that office with another
:10:23. > :10:25.council and halve that bill. We could halve the cost of the senior
:10:26. > :10:29.council officers, which would save in the region of ?250,000 per year,
:10:30. > :10:32.and then we could look at other services where we can share those
:10:33. > :10:36.services. Here at the town Hall, all the seats
:10:37. > :10:38.are held by either the Conservatives or the Labour Party, and at the
:10:39. > :10:39.moment Labour has a majoritx or the Labour Party, and at the
:10:40. > :10:42.moment Labour has a majority of one. moment Labour has a majoritx of one.
:10:43. > :10:45.So you might expect the seldction to be a straightforward, two`horse
:10:46. > :10:49.race, but there is a third party that is threatening to upset the
:10:50. > :10:52.apple cart. In last year's county council elections, UKIP won five
:10:53. > :11:00.seats here and came second hn four others. The party says the lack of
:11:01. > :11:02.decent housing is also a big issue, and voters are looking for something
:11:03. > :11:07.different. We are not professional polhticians.
:11:08. > :11:09.Don't expect a polished performance from many of our guys, because we
:11:10. > :11:10.from many of our guys, becatse we are members of the community
:11:11. > :11:12.from many of our guys, because we are members of the communitx that
:11:13. > :11:16.have taken it upon ourselves to put us in front of the electorate, to
:11:17. > :11:18.try and resolve those issues that have perhaps been party polhtical.
:11:19. > :11:21.have perhaps been party political. The Liberal Democrats are not
:11:22. > :11:23.fielding a single candidate in Great Yarmouth this year, so the Greens

:11:27. > :11:31.replicate their success in nearby Norwich and start winning sdats here
:11:32. > :11:34.as well. People are fed up with the same old
:11:35. > :11:36.parties, and actually looking for a positive change in the community,
:11:37. > :11:39.positive change in the commtnity, especially on a local level. And
:11:40. > :11:43.actually wanting people to listen to them, and I think they are very much
:11:44. > :11:46.tired of the very poor representation in their local areas.
:11:47. > :11:49.If either of the smaller parties can stage a raid here, they could
:11:50. > :11:52.dramatically affect the outcome of this election. But with so lany
:11:53. > :11:55.financial pressures, whoever ends up running this authority could well
:11:56. > :11:56.find it a rather lonely bushness. Andrew Sinclair, BBC Look East,

:12:31. > :12:34.be uncertain in some areas, but there's one thing we can cotnt on:

:12:37. > :12:37.the number of young people turning out to cast their vote is lhkely to
