:21:44. > :21:45.on this time last year. For a lot less than that yot could
:21:46. > :21:48.buy your very own pier in Suffolk. The Victorian pier is at Shotley
:21:49. > :21:51.on the River Stour. It's bursting with history
:21:52. > :21:54.but it does require a lot of TLC. Kevin Burch has been
:21:55. > :21:58.for a look round. We bought the pier two years ago,
:21:59. > :22:01.from a gentleman down Ian Newman presently has
:22:02. > :22:08.the keys to what is known as the Bristol Pier at Shotley, but he?s
:22:09. > :22:11.decided to sell because he says his firm, an award`winning development
:22:12. > :22:13.company, has other projects on There have been no offers so far
:22:14. > :22:21.but it is early days, so who could be in the market to take on this 600
:22:22. > :22:24.foot long Victorian landmark? It could really be open to
:22:25. > :22:31.a wide variety of people. It could be anyone from a very keen
:22:32. > :22:34.fisherman who wants his own private pier where he can be 600 foot off
:22:35. > :22:38.the shore or it could be, probably And then again it might be
:22:39. > :22:42.a conservation group who want to come along
:22:43. > :22:48.and wish to restore it and keep it for the local people but we are
:22:49. > :22:52.interested to see who comes along. The pier was built in 1894
:22:53. > :22:55.as a landing stage for a ferry, formerly owned by the Marquise
:22:56. > :22:58.of Bristol, a link still noted in It once served the old HMS Ganges
:22:59. > :23:03.naval training base in Shotley. Of course, whoever takes this
:23:04. > :23:06.on won?t simply need vision, Sadly,
:23:07. > :23:11.this has fallen into disrep`ir. But then again, and then there's
:23:12. > :23:20.the agent would tell you... It has to be sensitive but `gain it
:23:21. > :23:25.has to be realistic, it has to have That is probably why
:23:26. > :23:30.nothing has happened. Two locals, Jo and Claire,
:23:31. > :23:34.happened to be passing as we were filming , heading off
:23:35. > :23:37.for their daily swim in the river. What do they think
:23:38. > :23:40.about possible redevelopment? If it is not too commercialhsed
:23:41. > :23:43.if it was back the way it used to be for barges
:23:44. > :23:48.and things in the old days. In the long run I suppose I
:23:49. > :23:51.think it is better to do Because if that disappears, you
:23:52. > :23:58.think, it will get very borhng here. This morning,
:23:59. > :24:00.the big question as Jo and Claire showed no hesitation in taking
:24:01. > :24:03.the plunge is who would dip their Ian Newman says,
:24:04. > :24:07.perhaps not surprisingly, that it is Kevin Burch,
:24:08. > :24:26.BBC Look East at Shotley. If you have just joined us, some
:24:27. > :24:29.breaking news the Bury Saint Edmunds MP David roughly has broken his
:24:30. > :24:32.silence about an assault he has committed on a former partner, he
:24:33. > :24:37.committed on a former partndr, he says he has apologised and she has
:24:38. > :24:43.accepted. Let's speak to a local member of the party. Is this enough
:24:44. > :24:48.to save them? I am very pleased to hear that something has been set. It
:24:49. > :24:52.has been a very long time. This is what we have been waiting for and
:24:53. > :24:56.thank goodness something is going forward. We now need to realise
:24:57. > :24:59.there is just the seriousness of the problem and for many of us we
:25:00. > :25:07.believe that he should not continue at his position, it is untenable.
:25:08. > :25:08.You would agree with the Police and Crime Commissioners, such behaviour
:25:09. > :25:11.is inexcusable whoever you `re? Crime Commissioners, such bdhaviour
:25:12. > :25:15.is inexcusable whoever you are? This is inexcusable whoever you `re? This
:25:16. > :25:20.is a very serious matter, and it cannot be condoned in any w`y at all
:25:21. > :25:24.particularly by a leader of the constituency, the member of
:25:25. > :25:30.Parliament and the silence for all these months has been crazy. He
:25:31. > :25:35.should go. I know that you know him reasonably well, your message to him
:25:36. > :25:42.this evening? Stand down or Eagle sack you? Stand down with grace and
:25:43. > :25:46.we will see thank you for what you have done. You have worked well and
:25:47. > :25:47.hard for 17 years but what has happened now is not something that
:25:48. > :25:51.is acceptable, now or in thd happened now is not something that
:25:52. > :25:53.is acceptable, now or in the future. Thank you very much. Then for the
:25:54. > :26:04.weather. It has been a glorious day. The
:26:05. > :26:09.sunshine has been raked across the region. The cloud is gone from
