:00:17. > :00:25.The Labour Party says they could scrap plans to toll part of the
:00:25. > :00:29.road, if they win the next election. What they've come up with this not
:00:29. > :00:31.at all convincing. We would want to have a look at whether or not what
:00:31. > :00:36.they are proposing is the right have a look at whether or not what

:00:51. > :01:16.Hello, first tonight, the future of the a 14 has been thrown into doubt
:01:16. > :01:19.by the Labour Party. Two weeks ago, the government announced it wanted
:01:19. > :01:24.to replace a busy stretch of road with a toll road. Now Labour says it
:01:24. > :01:28.could scrap the plan if they win the next election. This report from
:01:28. > :01:30.could scrap the plan if they win the political correspondent, Andrew
:01:30. > :01:35.Sinclair. Everyone is agreed that this road is in desperate need of
:01:35. > :01:46.improvement, but with a price tag of £1.5 billion, how would you afford
:01:46. > :01:50.Here at the Labour Party, the issue keeps coming up with debates about
:01:50. > :01:53.transport. The effects of putting on this toll have not been thought
:01:53. > :01:58.through. The evidence from tolls elsewhere and the M6 toll road is
:01:58. > :02:04.actually there is a lot of diversion and people go a long way not to
:02:04. > :02:06.actually there is a lot of diversion Our concern is the road macro —— A14

:02:12. > :02:16.will not solve the problem is that wider area. In the summer, Labour's
:02:16. > :02:19.Fitzpatrick came to Cambridge and suggested the party supported the
:02:19. > :02:22.plans but now there is a different message coming from the person who
:02:22. > :02:29.could be Transport Secretary in message coming from the person who
:02:29. > :02:31.years time. What they have come message coming from the person who
:02:31. > :02:33.with is not at all convincing. We would want to have a look about
:02:33. > :02:35.with is not at all convincing. We they are proposing and whether it is
:02:35. > :02:39.the right way forward. I do not think they will have got very far
:02:39. > :02:44.with it. It gives us a chance to see what the right way forward is. But
:02:44. > :02:51.of the Iurii Tsaruk is not the right way forward, how would you improve
:02:51. > :02:53.the road —— is a toll is not the right way forward, how would you
:02:53. > :02:59.improve the road? We would have right way forward, how would you
:02:59. > :03:06.have a discussion about it. There are concerns that drivers would
:03:06. > :03:08.have a discussion about it. There congestion on other roads. What
:03:08. > :03:15.have a discussion about it. There government is proposing is a tax on
:03:15. > :03:18.particular the Port of Felixstowe. That will be facing competition
:03:18. > :03:22.particular the Port of Felixstowe. the London Gateway and this will
:03:22. > :03:27.make things worse. We can hear more from Andrew Sinclair at the Labour
:03:27. > :03:30.Party conference. I asked a short planned to upgrade the A14, even if
:03:30. > :03:36.they did not agree with toll on planned to upgrade the A14, even if
:03:36. > :03:41.Maria Eagle said that Labour Party would take a close look at the
:03:41. > :03:48.project. But also she said she was argument. She also told me that
:03:48. > :03:51.project. But also she said she was next Labour manifesto will not be
:03:51. > :03:55.proposing any toll roads anywhere. Also there is a lot of opposition to
:03:55. > :03:59.the scheme like the Cambridgeshire Chamber of Commerce and suddenly,
:03:59. > :04:03.you wonder whether the scheme has a big question mark hanging over it.
:04:04. > :04:10.The government says the only way they can improve the road is by
:04:10. > :04:12.The government says the only way on it. Maria Eagle disagrees. She
:04:12. > :04:17.says you should put the whole of the public purse behind it, not use
:04:17. > :04:25.says you should put the whole of the toll road. And I understand there
:04:25. > :04:30.lines, the East Coast Mainline and HS2? Yes, they are being talked
:04:30. > :04:33.lines, the East Coast Mainline and lot about down here. Maria Eagle
:04:33. > :04:37.made it clear she wanted to keep the ownership. The government were
:04:37. > :04:41.hoping to put it back in the private sector. She said if she is Transport
:04:41. > :04:48.Secretary and it has not happened yet, she will make sure it stays in
:04:48. > :04:51.the public sector. HS2, there is an interesting row developing tonight.
:04:51. > :04:56.Maria Eagle says it is a good idea because it will ease congestion
:04:56. > :04:58.Maria Eagle says it is a good idea other rail lines. But Rachel Reeves,

:05:05. > :05:07.scheme altogether. Andrew Sinclair at the Labour Party conference.
:05:07. > :05:18.scheme altogether. Andrew Sinclair is two months since the launch of a

:05:30. > :05:33.the strategy working? Neil Bradford Tackling curb crawlers and street
:05:34. > :05:38.walkers, it was a tactic that seemed to bring instant results. They are
:05:38. > :05:42.just making things harder for us girls. We are putting ourselves
:05:42. > :05:46.just making things harder for us more danger because we are having to
:05:46. > :05:50.take what we can. It is now two months since that operation and
:05:50. > :05:53.take what we can. It is now two start of a new strategy by police
:05:53. > :05:56.and the local council. There are some early signs that are starting
:05:56. > :06:06.to have an impact but it is clear that prostitution is still a problem
:06:06. > :06:08.in this area. Many residents say there has been an improvement since
:06:08. > :06:11.the strategy was introduced, but others say progress has been too
:06:11. > :06:16.slow and they question whether the Shopkeeper Shahzad Khadam, who
:06:16. > :06:20.started campaigning for action, feels momentum has been lost. It'll
:06:20. > :06:26.take a lot longer than five. We feels momentum has been lost. It'll
:06:26. > :06:33.be lucky if we get anything in ten years. They made so many promises,
:06:33. > :06:38.but they are not doing enough. Those behind the strategy say they are
:06:38. > :06:44.doing all they can. Both the police Commissioner have given a commitment
:06:44. > :06:50.that we are working with partners to tackle this issue. Some residents
:06:50. > :06:54.feel the progress is too slow. The experience from Ipswich and other

:07:18. > :07:22.outline planning permission three years ago but could not go ahead
:07:22. > :07:27.until the council agreed to sell some of its land. The council says
:07:27. > :07:33.it is now ready to sell the 66 acre site. Stuart Ratcliffe is there
:07:33. > :07:35.it is now ready to sell the 66 acre us now. Good evening. If you look
:07:35. > :07:40.behind me, as far as the eye can see, this could be a brand—new
:07:40. > :07:45.housing estate. Planning permission was granted in 2010. Now the council
:07:45. > :07:47.is willing to sell this land and they say there are no shortage of
:07:47. > :07:51.developers willing to buy. This they say there are no shortage of
:07:52. > :07:57.£400 million filament. The people of yards in that direction see the
:07:58. > :08:01.local roads simply will not be able to cope. Wellingborough council
:08:01. > :08:04.local roads simply will not be able this scheme is vital. They say just

:08:37. > :08:41.picture? Northamptonshire claims to be the fastest—growing county, not
:08:41. > :08:49.just in our region, but in the whole development underway now, which
:08:49. > :08:53.just in our region, but in the whole even larger than this one. There
:08:53. > :08:58.will be 3500 new homes. Around the county in Corby they are planning

:10:07. > :10:12.has made a difference but she is keen to help other teenagers who
:10:12. > :10:21.themselves. She has launched a website to do just that. It is an
:10:21. > :10:28.issue a lot of hoopla experiencing. We got a group of Sydney's friends
:10:28. > :10:31.together and nearly all had some experience. It is one of those

:12:02. > :12:09.does the rest of the week have in store? All the details later.
:12:09. > :12:14.Last week we reported on the problems facing our councils
:12:14. > :12:19.becasuse of our ageing population. Tonight, we hear from the man who
:12:19. > :12:24.was asked to come up with the answers in Essex.
:12:24. > :12:25.Among the ideas from Sir Tom Hughes—Hallett: Recruiting
:12:25. > :12:32.volunteers who will offer to help the sick and elderly who live
:12:32. > :12:37.nearby. Encouraging people to use their pharmacists more. We'll hear
:12:37. > :12:38.from Sir Tom in a moment but first Debbie Tubby on a challenge facing
:12:39. > :12:41.every council in this region. Milton Keynes is said to have become
:12:41. > :12:47.Britain's pensioner capital. By 2030, the government predicts a 110%
:12:47. > :12:53.rise in over 65 is. In the next decade, the number of people aged 18
:12:53. > :12:56.or over will double. This will put pressure on services. Norfolk County
:12:56. > :13:00.Council already has 22% of its population 65 or over. We have about
:13:00. > :13:07.13,000 people diagnosed with dementia. That figure will bubble in
:13:07. > :13:10.the next 15 years. To describe it as an explosion is possibly an
:13:10. > :13:16.understatement. Cambridge is said to be the fastest—growing county in the
:13:16. > :13:22.country in terms of population. The County Council says it is taking
:13:22. > :13:25.that into account in all of its planning. Meanwhile, Suffolk County
:13:25. > :13:31.Council has transferred the running of its care homes into the hands of
:13:31. > :13:35.a private provider in preparation for its ageing population. Others
:13:35. > :13:42.say an ageing population creates economic and social benefits. Many
:13:42. > :13:47.old people choose to work as a matter of choice or out of financial
:13:47. > :13:53.necessity. The idea that old people are burden is not accurate at all.
:13:53. > :13:59.Meanwhile, this report says people should take more responsibility for
:13:59. > :14:03.their own health. They should be prepared to pay for some services
:14:03. > :14:10.and that communities could support some people.
:14:10. > :14:16.Earlier today, I spoke to Sir Tom Hughes—Hallett, the man behind that
:14:16. > :14:20.report, and I started by asking about what he has learned and what
:14:20. > :14:25.he hopes will happen now. My findings were targeted at trying to
:14:25. > :14:31.just come up with a few bold ideals to solve a very big problem. The
:14:31. > :14:35.first key idea was to hand back to the people of Essex the
:14:35. > :14:42.responsibility for their own health care. From the evidence I took, it
:14:42. > :14:45.was quite clear that the ball were up for that and, indeed, almost
:14:45. > :14:52.wanted to do it. People were prepared to look after their car, so
:14:52. > :14:57.they were prepared to look after their body as long as the state is
:14:57. > :15:01.there to fix it when there is a problem. What should happen to those
:15:01. > :15:10.people who don't look after themselves very well? Well, I think
:15:10. > :15:14.there will always be cars that breakdown on motorways at 2am
:15:14. > :15:20.without insurance. There is not a lot you can do about that but the
:15:20. > :15:25.reality is people are changing already. 40% of the people I
:15:25. > :15:31.interviewed in Braintree now regard their first point of call for health
:15:31. > :15:39.care being their pharmacy or Google. A lot of the people were talking
:15:39. > :15:47.about getting into their 60s or 70s or 80s are people who have paid in
:15:47. > :15:53.from cradle to grave health care and now you're saying we can't afford
:15:53. > :15:58.it. That is not the case. What people paid in for, they should get.
:15:58. > :16:03.If you break your head when you're 75 then of course you should expect
:16:03. > :16:09.a hospital to be available to you to provide you with urgent care. What
:16:09. > :16:14.I'm saying is that we need to make sure, as communities, that we know
:16:14. > :16:21.who is really vulnerable and take the time to look out for people in
:16:21. > :16:28.our street who are likely to trip or fall or who need support to get
:16:28. > :16:33.drugs from their pharmacy, rather than standing by and letting them
:16:33. > :16:37.crash and burn. If we don't adopt these measures, what will happen to
:16:37. > :16:44.health care? I may be wrong but I don't think I am. I had a fantastic
:16:44. > :16:49.team working with me and we interviewed hundreds of people. What
:16:49. > :17:00.I do know is if we don't take action now, in 15 years' time, our children
:17:00. > :17:03.and people in their 30s and 40s are going to face problems that make the
:17:03. > :17:08.problem is that I will face look like a picnic. What are those
:17:08. > :17:17.problems? There won't be enough people to care. That is why I called
:17:17. > :17:23.this commission who will care? Anyone familiar with the history of
:17:23. > :17:28.motor racing knows names like Maserati and Ferrari. But back in
:17:28. > :17:34.the 1950s and 1960s there was another big name.
:17:34. > :17:41.Lister of Cambridge doesn't have quite the same ring about it, but 60
:17:41. > :17:44.years ago they were taking on the big boys and beating them. And now
:17:44. > :17:47.Lister is making a comeback. Racing green and its yellow stripe.
:17:47. > :17:52.The Lister Jaguar. In the late 50s, it on pretty much everything. It was
:17:52. > :18:08.built on a shoestring budget in Cambridge. This car was the first of
:18:08. > :18:24.the new generation Lister. ALL the Lister cars were great. He won 11 of
:18:24. > :18:36.his 14 races. On his right, the man who built the first Lister. Not many
:18:36. > :18:41.were made. Now, a new investor has relaunched the Lister, once again to
:18:41. > :18:48.in Cambridge. We will build four and next year we hope to build six. We
:18:48. > :18:52.build them very slowly. It is a craftsmanship product, not mass
:18:53. > :19:04.produced. When we see them on the road? The bodywork is sent in pieces
:19:04. > :19:10.and assembled here. Eventually, when put together it will look like that.
:19:10. > :19:14.Just like the original. They won't be cheap, costing in the hundreds of
:19:14. > :19:19.thousands, but they will produce jobs. It is a fantastic thing for UK
:19:19. > :19:25.manufacturing. We have already employed a number of people to start
:19:25. > :19:29.working at the factory and this is the start of the UK manufacturing
:19:29. > :19:36.recovery. It is a car from Cambridge that led the way in motor sport. 60
:19:36. > :19:43.years on, the Lister is back. For every second of every day, our
:19:43. > :19:48.brains are working, controlling everything we do and say. But what
:19:48. > :19:53.happens when the brain is damaged because of a serious head injury?
:19:53. > :19:58.James Piercy was involved in a serious road accident. His wife
:19:58. > :20:03.died, his children were injured and he was left battling with damage to
:20:03. > :20:07.his brain. James is with us now. How are you and what has happened to
:20:07. > :20:17.the brain in that time? I'm well, thanks. Over the last two and a half
:20:17. > :20:19.years, my brain has been rewiring itself and learning new ways to do
:20:19. > :20:25.things. I still have some problems and struggle a bit but mostly I am
:20:25. > :20:30.much better. I suffered some other damage in the accident which left
:20:30. > :20:35.one of the muscles which controls my eyeball not functioning some it
:20:35. > :20:40.doesn't move quite right and I get double vision. On the +8, I get to
:20:40. > :20:46.wear a cool patch. What did your brain need to retrain? What is
:20:46. > :20:49.important is the pathways and connections between different cells
:20:49. > :20:55.in your brain. There are something like a million pathways for every
:20:55. > :21:02.second you are alive. If they are disrupted, the connections break and
:21:02. > :21:07.your brain finds it harder to work and has to find new ways to do that.
:21:07. > :21:13.I just want to show a clip of what can happen to you when the brain
:21:13. > :21:18.isn't going as well as you like it. Getting a little bit tired... And
:21:18. > :21:26.sometimes I get a twitch... And my words won't come out quite right.
:21:26. > :21:34.I'll probably need to eat something soon.
:21:34. > :21:44.Food and arrest, is it? After that clip was filmed, I had a meal and
:21:44. > :21:48.rested for an hour and I was fine. You are giving talks to people to
:21:48. > :21:53.educate them about brain injuries. That's right, I am going round the
:21:54. > :22:00.country to talk about brain injuries. I have been enormously
:22:00. > :22:05.lucky. There are millions living with the aftermath of a serious head
:22:05. > :22:11.injury. I hope your recovery continues to go well.
:22:11. > :22:15.You can see David Whiteley's film about James in Inside Out East at
:22:15. > :22:23.7:30pm on BBC One. Most of us struggle to make a good
:22:23. > :22:27.sand castle, let alone a sand sculpture. But for a talented few,
:22:27. > :22:31.it's an artform, complete with its own world championship.
:22:31. > :22:36.Nicola Wood is a two—time world champion and today she's been busy
:22:36. > :22:40.on the sea front at Frinton in Essex today. Alex Dolan has been watching.
:22:40. > :22:48.Yes, Nicola is still hard at work. It has taken her two days to create
:22:48. > :22:55.this voluptuous lady. She has not finished yet but has come a long way
:22:55. > :23:01.since lunchtime. You have to work from the top down because after a
:23:01. > :23:07.certain stage, I can't walk back a bit. Nicola loves working with sand.
:23:07. > :23:14.Today she is working with tonnes of the stuff. I'm working on her arms
:23:14. > :23:19.at the moment. She will just be relaxing in the sun. Nicholl has
:23:19. > :23:27.created sand sculptures all over the world. Her latest takes inspiration
:23:27. > :23:33.from traditional seaside postcards. When you're carving something of
:23:33. > :23:39.this scale, the kind of SanDisk ritual. The sand here is very old.
:23:39. > :23:51.It has been washed back and forth with the tide and the greens are
:23:51. > :23:57.very round. A young sand is... It is not brilliant to work with but that
:23:57. > :24:03.is the fun of it. It is challenging to work with. What is it like to
:24:03. > :24:10.work for days on something that gets washed away? I like the whole circle
:24:10. > :24:16.of it. Nicholl has just stopped work to join us now. I am in awe of what
:24:16. > :24:22.you have achieved. However you feeling about where you have got to?
:24:22. > :24:26.I think we are on target to finish tomorrow. I'm happy so far. Are
:24:26. > :24:35.getting there. What about whether? What happens if it rains? Not a
:24:35. > :24:40.great deal, hopefully. The sand is very absorbent. Hopefully if it
:24:40. > :24:47.rains, it will just the surface damage that we can repair. You can
:24:47. > :24:51.come and have a look at her tomorrow evening.
:24:51. > :24:59.What did they call her? Strapping.
:24:59. > :25:03.Is it going to rain? No, not as it stands.
:25:03. > :25:12.You can see that the best of the sunshine was in eastern and southern
:25:12. > :25:19.parts, taking the temperatures up to 21 Celsius. Even where we had
:25:19. > :25:24.thicker cloud, it didn't feel too bad because we had warm and humid
:25:24. > :25:28.air feeding across the country. Overnight, good news for sand
:25:28. > :25:34.sculptures. It is set to stay dry. The combination of clear spells and
:25:34. > :25:41.light winds means we will see some mist and dense fog patches
:25:41. > :25:47.developments. It is not a cold night anywhere. Tomorrow, this is actually
:25:47. > :25:53.a ridge of high pressure which keeps this system at bay for the time
:25:53. > :26:01.being and keeps this front away, too. Tomorrow, a dry start to the
:26:01. > :26:07.day. It may take a while for the mist and fork to clear but once it
:26:07. > :26:14.has gone a dry day with some of us seeing some brightness and sunshine.
:26:14. > :26:15.There will be some areas of thicker cloud which will remain for much of
:26:16. > :26:20.the day. Temperatures will be up to around 22 or 23 Celsius in the
:26:20. > :26:26.sunshine. In the cloud, it will be a little cooler and temperatures not
:26:26. > :26:34.so high around the coast. On the whole, very light winds mainly from
:26:34. > :26:43.the south—east. Some evening brightness and sunshine. This is the
:26:43. > :26:47.five—day forecast. I have said it is cloudy tomorrow but there will be
:26:47. > :26:53.some sunshine. Almost a repeat performance on Wednesday. Quite a
:26:53. > :26:57.lot of cloud around. Staying relatively warm and humid. Some of
:26:57. > :27:04.us will see some sunshine. Thursday, again, almost a repeat
:27:04. > :27:09.performance. A subtle change, we are expecting some showers for the
:27:09. > :27:16.south—west. That is the same for Friday. But, again, the showers
:27:16. > :27:23.fairly well scattered. Those are your overnight loans.
