:01:20. > :01:21.Minister to come and see thd situation for himself. The hospital

:01:44. > :01:54.2010. This is more than we have had back in the 1940s. It is a record we
:01:55. > :01:59.can be proud of. It was this reply which saw infuriated the patient at

:10:37. > :10:39.Cambridgeshire. The plant at Waterbeach was closed in September

:10:43. > :10:47.year, not opening fully unthl November last year. And durhng that
:10:48. > :10:52.time, an extra 47,000 tonnes of waste was sent to landfill. The
:10:53. > :11:01.company running the plant h`s allowed our cameras in to fhlm for
:11:02. > :11:08.the first time since the brdakdown. 400 tonnes of rubbish a day come
:11:09. > :11:13.here from black bin bags across Cambridgeshire. It is a waste which
:11:14. > :11:20.cannot be recycled. It is still sorted. Some goes to landfill by the
:11:21. > :11:24.rest is compost down. But that composting machine broke and it
:11:25. > :11:28.meant a lot more had to go hnto a hall Figaro. Heart of the m`chinery
:11:29. > :11:37.was out of action for more than one year. Normally, the sent 71,000
:11:38. > :11:43.tonnes to landfill, but this meant they sent 118,000 tonnes, an extra
:11:44. > :11:47.47,000 tonnes of rubbish. Environmental campaigners h`ve
:11:48. > :11:53.criticised the time it took for the plan to get back up and running but
:11:54. > :11:56.the company said the act did as quickly as they could. The
:11:57. > :12:03.investigation took place imlediately after the incident. The phone the
:12:04. > :12:09.reasons for the failure. It was a fairly lengthy design process,
:12:10. > :12:17.because the items of equipmdnt where a bespoke to this site. The company
:12:18. > :12:25.says it has made wholesale changes after the failure, including a major
:12:26. > :12:30.redesign of the control rool. It has been estimated that the extra cost
:12:31. > :12:34.of sending to landfill could have totalled ?3 million, a cost borne by
:12:35. > :12:39.the company. The council is now confident the plant is up to the
:12:40. > :12:45.job. The last thing we wantdd was it for to be broken again and be shut
:12:46. > :12:49.for a long length of time. Ht was important was done properly and we
:12:50. > :12:55.are confident that they havd done that and that it is up and running
:12:56. > :12:59.again. The company insists the plant is fit to run for the next 20 years

:15:50. > :15:52.seem very down! My cheeks wdre hurting from smiling so much. I
:15:53. > :15:56.didn't let myself believe that I would win, and the more I spoke
:15:57. > :16:01.about it, I thought this is it. I can move on, this is over. To be
:16:02. > :16:06.called back two hours later and find it is not, it is heartbreakhng. I
:16:07. > :16:11.have got to keep on fighting now, that is it. You came out of court,
:16:12. > :16:24.that was it, and how long bdfore that? Two hours. What are you going
:16:25. > :16:30.to do next? I thought it is real, I have done this. And this is the end
:16:31. > :16:38.of the fighting, and I can love forward. To then be told th`t the HF

:17:05. > :17:13.want longer. The situation was that it was a month to the date that my
:17:14. > :17:21.husband died, which was, and I was told that I had three months to
:17:22. > :17:27.become pregnant. It was all down to the paperwork, which was tile

:17:35. > :17:39.What my husband wanted cannot be disputed, but that is not what is an
:17:40. > :17:46.argument, but it is the HFE@ legislation, and it is about getting

:17:55. > :17:58.is sit on your arms and white. Yes, it is a tough fight, and I thought
:17:59. > :18:06.it was over, but now I just had to wait. But you are a fighter, and I

:20:32. > :20:37.Minister, flanked by an MD `nd an MP opened a new security zone. It is a

:22:41. > :22:50.He sketched this on the way back from their honeymoon in 1816. It

:23:12. > :23:15.absolutely love a good aucthon, and that was a really good aucthon. The
:23:16. > :23:24.estimated top price was ?62,000 for the collection, but the reality was
:23:25. > :23:30.three times that, at ?187,000. Most sold to faceless buyers, except
:23:31. > :23:39.this. To a lady actually in the room for ?18,000. `` ?16,000. Thdre was a
:23:40. > :23:43.lady who has loved Constabld since she was 21 years old, and she bid on
:23:44. > :23:49.three or four drawings before succeeding. It is a lovely story.
:23:50. > :23:57.She beat some of the big collectors, if you like. She fulfilled her
:23:58. > :24:01.dream. Hidden away in a Norfolk manor for years, these sketches were
