:00:14. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight:
:00:17. > :00:22.A care home worker secretly filmed sleeping on the job is convicted of
:00:22. > :00:28.wilfully neglecting an 83-year-old man. That and the rest of today's
:00:28. > :00:31.top stories with Janine Machin. He wasn't found to have held the
:00:31. > :00:37.gun but was jailed for firearm and rioting offences. Now the family of
:00:37. > :00:42.Wayne Collins fight against his 18 year sentence. Yes, he was there,
:00:42. > :00:46.there is no denying that, we have never denied that but Wayne did
:00:46. > :00:52.nothing and to be sentenced to 18 years for doing nothing other than
:00:52. > :00:55.being on the streets, is outrageous. Banned for biting and bad behaviour,
:00:55. > :00:58.but now he's back to skipper the Saints. But is the club's faith in
:00:58. > :01:00.Dylan Hartley sending out the wrong message?
:01:00. > :01:10.And, forget the ferry, we meet the Cambridge man swimming from
:01:10. > :01:16.
:01:16. > :01:19.Good evening. We begin tonight with the news that
:01:19. > :01:22.a care home worker accused of wilful neglect has been found
:01:23. > :01:27.guilty in court this afternoon. Jackie Ndoro failed to help an 83-
:01:27. > :01:29.year-old man who had collapsed at the Limes in Henlow. Her bosses had
:01:30. > :01:39.become suspicious of her work and secretly filmed her. Anna Todd
:01:40. > :01:40.
:01:40. > :01:47.reports. Care home managers Joan Wilkinson
:01:47. > :01:56.and her son, Kevin, happy leaving court today. Mr Wilkinson doubted
:01:56. > :02:02.the care he was getting from Jackie Ndoro so much that he installed
:02:02. > :02:04.cameras. The court heard that there was no urgency and a man was
:02:04. > :02:09.eventually manhandled into a wheelchair after he was lying on
:02:09. > :02:15.the floor. We have suspicions so I took the chance to put a CCTV
:02:15. > :02:19.camera up and we caught her. So, it is one more gone. This sense that
:02:19. > :02:24.issued message across the whole care community across the whole of
:02:24. > :02:29.the UK, that we should treat vulnerable people with respect.
:02:29. > :02:33.Jackie Ndoro was also filmed asleep on the job and she strenuously
:02:33. > :02:37.denied wilful neglect throughout the trial. Now she could face up to
:02:37. > :02:43.five years in prison. Two due care about him? Yes, that
:02:43. > :02:47.is where I picked him up. I picked him up within two minutes and 23
:02:47. > :02:51.seconds and I used a wheelchair which was the only thing available
:02:51. > :02:55.to me at the time. Unfortunately people choose to do whatever they
:02:55. > :02:59.want to choose and I do not think this judgment is fair. There were
:02:59. > :03:04.shrieks and sobs of joy from the public gallery as the guilty
:03:04. > :03:10.verdict was read out. Jackie Ndoro's colleague who was filled
:03:10. > :03:15.with her on that night is still at large. Police have about to find
:03:15. > :03:19.her and bring her to trial. -- police have fouled the to find her
:03:19. > :03:22.and bring her to trial. A Luton man serving an 18 year jail
:03:22. > :03:25.sentence for a crime he claims he didn't commit is fighting to clear
:03:25. > :03:28.his name. Wayne Collins says he was innocently caught up in the
:03:29. > :03:38.Birmingham riots two years ago when the pub he was drinking in was
:03:38. > :03:41.petrol bombed. Now his aunt has gathered 8,000 signatures on a
:03:41. > :03:44.petition to clear his name and she's hoping for a Luton MP to
:03:44. > :03:48.support her as Ben Bland reports. August 2011 and in Birmingham men
:03:48. > :03:53.attacked this park and when police arrived shots were fired at police
:03:53. > :03:56.officers. Oh aren't they are people there, Wayne Collins, who is now
:03:56. > :04:01.serving a in 18 year sentence for his part in the riots. He did not
:04:01. > :04:05.do anything. He is aunt is leading a campaign to get his conviction
:04:05. > :04:10.and sentence overturned and. Yes, he was there and there is no
:04:10. > :04:15.denying it and we have never denied it but he did nothing. To be
:04:15. > :04:20.sentenced to 18 years for doing nothing other than being on the
:04:20. > :04:24.streets is outrageous. A reason he was given an 18 year sentences
:04:24. > :04:28.because he was part of a group in which someone else had a gun and
:04:28. > :04:33.shot at police. We are appealing against that conviction and
:04:33. > :04:36.sentence. The basis of the appeal against the conviction is that when
:04:36. > :04:40.the firearm was being discharged he was no way near and he was running
:04:40. > :04:45.away from it and there is no evidence he knew the man with a
:04:46. > :04:49.firearm and there is no participation in a shooting. He has
:04:49. > :04:52.been convicted under the law of joint enterprise so he was not
:04:52. > :04:56.accused of starting the fires of shooting at the police themselves.
:04:56. > :05:00.If you have a group of people who have all participated in some way
:05:00. > :05:04.towards an outcome that the law participate -- classified as a
:05:04. > :05:07.crime, there is a part of the law that once the more to be
:05:07. > :05:11.responsible but the question is what they are responsible for.
:05:11. > :05:17.Joint enterprise allows you to accommodate almost the entire group
:05:17. > :05:19.for the most serious crime that takes place among step. In a state
:05:19. > :05:22.than the Ministry of Justice defended the law on joint
:05:22. > :05:27.enterprise, saying it has enabled some of the most serious offenders
:05:27. > :05:33.to be brought to justice. Meanwhile Wayne Collins will find out in the
:05:33. > :05:37.autumn whether the court will give him permission to appeal.
:05:37. > :05:41.On the day the Government announced the biggest population boom for 40
:05:41. > :05:48.years, from villages in south Cambridgeshire have expressed fury
:05:48. > :05:51.over plans to build 5,000 new homes. The council is inviting the public
:05:51. > :05:54.to have its say on the proposals which include a new village in
:05:54. > :05:58.Bourn, a new town at Waterbeach and a major expansion of Cambourne.
:05:58. > :06:01.This is in addition to the 14,000 already agreed in the current local
:06:01. > :06:06.plan including the new town at Northstowe. All of the homes would
:06:06. > :06:09.be built by 2031. The council is also consulting on a draft
:06:09. > :06:14.transport strategy for the developments.
:06:14. > :06:19.More homes needed it to serve a booming population, but nobody
:06:19. > :06:25.wants them near them. These are the plans for the public to discuss.
:06:25. > :06:30.What is the story behind the fight? 3,500 new houses could be built
:06:30. > :06:33.here at this airfield. Behind me is the new town of Cambourne growing
:06:33. > :06:38.ever closer and just come along here with me because on the other
:06:38. > :06:42.side of the road is the proposed site for where the new development
:06:42. > :06:47.would be. Those living in the nearby village of furious. We do
:06:47. > :06:50.not wanted here because there are no jobs in this part of the count
:06:50. > :06:54.tree and the infrastructure cannot cope and we already have Cambourne
:06:54. > :06:58.and Cambourne and the airfield will coalesce into a huge new town and
:06:58. > :07:02.that is a huge new town by stealth and is not fair. If the development
:07:02. > :07:08.goes ahead it would mean the end to the airfield which lost over 100
:07:08. > :07:11.Bomber Command an aircraft during the Second World War. Today key
:07:12. > :07:15.decision-makers were answering questions in Cambourne on whether
:07:15. > :07:19.roads and essential services that are struggling now would be able to
:07:19. > :07:23.cope with even more homes. We know as a district we have to find
:07:23. > :07:26.additional homes, not only for the people will are looking for homes
:07:26. > :07:31.locally and the demand in the villages already but as new jobs
:07:31. > :07:36.are right. Just look at the companies that are planning to come
:07:36. > :07:39.here to the south of Cambridge in three years' time. The birth rate
:07:39. > :07:44.hearing Cambourne have been higher than expected. A school that is
:07:44. > :07:48.still being built has already becomes fully subscribe. We have
:07:48. > :07:51.learned from the past and we are absolutely clear that as these new
:07:51. > :07:55.developments like Northstowe come forward, it is critical to get the
:07:55. > :07:59.infrastructure like the schools in place before the people move in.
:07:59. > :08:02.Talk to people here and everyone has a different view. There was a
:08:02. > :08:05.lot of fuss about Campbell when it was done but all the people in the
:08:05. > :08:11.villages that made all the fuss other one that now use all the
:08:11. > :08:15.amenities up here. We need a larger medical practice. They cannot cope.
:08:15. > :08:22.God knows what will happen if we get it more houses. Only a few
:08:23. > :08:25.months ago that we came here and it is brilliant for the children.
:08:26. > :08:28.of the housing would be affordable and now with the chance to have
:08:28. > :08:30.your say. Well, earlier I asked Councillor
:08:30. > :08:33.Pippa Corney, who has responsibility for planning in
:08:33. > :08:40.South Cambridgeshire if the problem was not the lack of housing but
:08:40. > :08:43.that people simply couldn't afford to buy them. There are a number of
:08:43. > :08:47.problems. But with a lot of new development we can bring forward
:08:47. > :08:50.more affordable housing so we should be up to 40% on some of the
:08:50. > :08:55.big developments and that will hopefully be a bit more affordable
:08:55. > :08:59.to people. Let us look at the sighting of the new homes. A P
:08:59. > :09:05.Billing Cambourne say that Campbell is big enough. They say they have
:09:05. > :09:07.had enough and more she places should be found. -- people in a
:09:07. > :09:12.Cambourne. We design and landscaping we can overcome a lot
:09:12. > :09:15.of the concerns. Can you overcome the transport concerns? We are
:09:15. > :09:18.working closely with their county but we think we have a solution. It
:09:18. > :09:22.is early days but the good thing is that by having these developments
:09:22. > :09:28.close together we can put a reasonable amount of money in to
:09:28. > :09:34.get the infrastructure we need. 19,500 homes, will it be enough?
:09:34. > :09:37.hope so. That is what we have worked out but as I say, we cannot
:09:37. > :09:39.predict economic upturns and downturns but looking at what we
:09:39. > :09:44.have done in the past and the figures in the future, we are
:09:44. > :09:49.fairly confident we have got it right. 2031 is when you are looking
:09:49. > :09:54.at having become -- of these houses complete, that looks like a long
:09:54. > :09:57.way off. Is it too late? It is not too late. In five years' time we
:09:57. > :10:01.will update our plan and we could take into account the things that
:10:01. > :10:05.have gone on in the next five years. We have to plan for something I
:10:05. > :10:09.Waterbeach, if you look at Northstowe, it has been in the
:10:09. > :10:12.pipeline for 13 years and we have not laid to break so it takes a
:10:12. > :10:17.long time to bring forward big towns. The messages that these
:10:17. > :10:21.homes are needed and they will go somewhere. Absolutely. The problem
:10:21. > :10:25.is that we are listening but we cannot always agree with everybody.
:10:25. > :10:29.I have the unenviable job of the fact that I will upset somebody
:10:29. > :10:31.whatever we do and whatever decision we make. We will always
:10:32. > :10:37.put something somewhere that someone does not like a matter of
:10:37. > :10:40.fact and we cannot get away from it. It was far from the perfect end to
:10:40. > :10:43.last season for Northampton Saints Skipper Dylan Hartley. He was sent
:10:43. > :10:46.off for swearing at the referee. He missed the Lions tour because of an
:10:46. > :10:49.11 week ban and is no stranger to bad behaviour, having previously
:10:49. > :10:52.bitten a player. But today it was announced that he'll remain as
:10:52. > :11:01.Captain for the club. But some are questioning whether that sends out
:11:01. > :11:05.the wrong message. James Burridge is at Franklins Gardens now. James,
:11:05. > :11:10.what's the club had to say about this?
:11:10. > :11:14.They are behind it. I have spoken to the director of rugby and since
:11:14. > :11:18.his sending off in the Premiership final in May, they were defending
:11:18. > :11:23.and then and they spoke to him of sight and supported him and this is
:11:23. > :11:27.what they said earlier. It is always a big decision, getting your
:11:27. > :11:31.captain right. We are confident that we have got the right man. He
:11:31. > :11:36.has been our captain now for five seasons and we know what he is
:11:37. > :11:41.capable of. The lad's love him and respect him and he does a brilliant
:11:41. > :11:44.job on and off the field at Northampton Saints. He has made
:11:44. > :11:49.some mistakes in the past as we all have but it is all about sticking
:11:50. > :11:54.together, working hard and learning from those mistakes and move
:11:54. > :11:59.forwards. Whatever reaction been from others in at Northampton?
:11:59. > :12:02.has been mixed across the town. We have spoken to many about it and I
:12:02. > :12:06.think they will be split regardless. It was a black or white decision
:12:06. > :12:12.what people think about what he did. The list is not great if you look
:12:12. > :12:15.at it but in here, behind these walls, he has put a lot of blood
:12:15. > :12:19.and sweat and tears into the success of this club and he is very
:12:19. > :12:26.much the reason why they have performed so well in recent years.
:12:26. > :12:29.He was skippering the side and he has the public backing of Stuart
:12:29. > :12:33.Lancaster but in the past hour he has given an interview to Radio
:12:33. > :12:40.Northampton that you can hear on the Breakfast Programme tomorrow
:12:40. > :12:42.morning at 6am. Thank you very much. A mass open-air prayer service has
:12:43. > :12:45.been held today in Northampton. It's the Muslim festival of Eid
:12:45. > :12:47.which is traditionally celebrated with a morning prayer and marks the
:12:48. > :12:53.end of Ramadan. Northampton's Muslim communities held the service
:12:53. > :13:00.on the Racecourse. It was then followed by a fun day for families.
