Living in fear. children. That's all from the

:00:00.:00:09.

Police in Luton are given extra powers to crack down

:00:10.:00:11.

Campaigners win their fight to save a mental health centre in C`mbridge.

:00:12.:00:20.

We're counting down to the Tour de France.

:00:21.:00:23.

It's a week to go, so is everything ready?

:00:24.:00:26.

And found in a cabbage patch in Kettering.

:00:27.:00:28.

First tonight, police in Luton have been granted extra powers to tackle

:00:29.:00:45.

a wave of anti`social behavhour which is forcing residents to stay

:00:46.:00:48.

It's happening in an area to the east of the town

:00:49.:00:52.

and has escalated in the last few months, with reports of aggression,

:00:53.:00:55.

intimidation and criminal d`mage by gangs of men and youths.

:00:56.:00:57.

Residents have told police they feel like prisoners in their own homes.

:00:58.:01:00.

Let's go live to Luton and Neil Bradford.

:01:01.:01:15.

Yes, police need the approv`l of the local authority to implement a

:01:16.:01:24.

dispersal order and tonight, Luton borough councillors backed their

:01:25.:01:29.

request for one in the east of the town centre, in an area known as

:01:30.:01:36.

round green, and area where residents say they have had enough

:01:37.:01:40.

of anti`social behaviour. By day, it is not the kind of place

:01:41.:01:46.

normally associated with trouble. Residents say by night, it hs a

:01:47.:01:51.

different story. In the past four months, incidents of anti`social

:01:52.:01:56.

behaviour in this part of Ltton have increased. The police have `sked the

:01:57.:02:04.

local authority for more powers We have had significant and persistent

:02:05.:02:07.

reports of anti`social behaviour. That is a range of issues. Ht

:02:08.:02:12.

includes just general intimhdating and threatening behaviour,

:02:13.:02:18.

littering, and the distribution and misuse in public places. I think

:02:19.:02:24.

that is the sort of situation where we want to try and nip things in the

:02:25.:02:30.

bud early. The Crime Commissioner says it is right is officers take a

:02:31.:02:36.

tough approach. An issue like this where people are on the recdiving

:02:37.:02:43.

end of this where the policd think a dispersal order is the way to go,

:02:44.:02:49.

that'll be a priority for the peace. This gives the police a number of

:02:50.:02:53.

additional powers. They can ask people to leave the area if they

:02:54.:02:57.

believe they are ruins of bding wrong or if they believe thdy could

:02:58.:03:01.

cause a nuisance. They can `sk someone to stay away from the area

:03:02.:03:07.

for up to 24 hours. And aftdr 9pm, anyone under the age of 16 not

:03:08.:03:10.

supervised by an adult can be taken home by police. We have been unable

:03:11.:03:16.

to persuade any of those residents affected to talk to us on c`mera,

:03:17.:03:20.

even the police say they ard frightened to contact them for fear

:03:21.:03:26.

of replies all. It is clear there is a very frustrating situation here.

:03:27.:03:32.

`` reprisals. The order rem`ins in place for six months. Residdnts hope

:03:33.:03:36.

it will bring dramatic results. The police say it is just the start of

:03:37.:03:44.

the solution. How common ard these dispersal orders in this region In

:03:45.:03:49.

Luton and indeed elsewhere hn the region, they have only been used a

:03:50.:03:54.

handful of times. This is not a method police use lightly. To be

:03:55.:03:57.

effective, they have to be well policed and of course, that means a

:03:58.:04:01.

significant drain on resources at a time when the service is already

:04:02.:04:06.

overstretched. But police s`y they do work and do in results. But it is

:04:07.:04:11.

not a magic wand and does not solve the problem overnight. Therd are a

:04:12.:04:19.

lot of residents in the are` pinning a lot of hope on this to make.

:04:20.:04:24.

A 24 hour sit in every day for four months has ended with campahgners

:04:25.:04:28.

winning their fight to save a mental health centre in Cambridge.

:04:29.:04:30.

Today the NHS agreed to keep the drop in centre open

:04:31.:04:33.

Protestors say it's a victory for some of the most vulner`ble

:04:34.:04:37.

For the protesters, this is a big moment. Today the boss of the NHS

:04:38.:04:55.

Trust signed, confirming thhs drop`in clinic is safe for `nother

:04:56.:05:03.

five years. In return, the group using the service must end their

:05:04.:05:08.

round the clock occupation of this NHS building. It started fotr months

:05:09.:05:16.

ago. The signature on the p`ge gives us more five `` five more ydars

:05:17.:05:21.

Everyone will tell you which keeps them alive. It is our safetx net. We

:05:22.:05:28.

are determined not to let it go The group invited media when thdy

:05:29.:05:31.

started their protest back hn March. Members barricaded themselvds in and

:05:32.:05:35.

gathered provisions for the fight. Some are shocked they have one. I

:05:36.:05:46.

can hardly believe it. People.. It is a shock to the system. Btt yes,

:05:47.:05:54.

it is great. The NHS Trust has to save more than ?6 million this

:05:55.:06:00.

financial year. It seems it has changed its mind about closhng this

:06:01.:06:06.

centre. I think this is the best answer for everyone concerndd. We

:06:07.:06:11.

are really pleased that we have been able to bring the protest to an end.

:06:12.:06:16.

We are looking forward to working with people on future service

:06:17.:06:21.

developments. One County Cotncil recognises the significance of today

:06:22.:06:23.

but says other parts of the service are at risk. It is a stunning

:06:24.:06:28.

success in terms of patients' voices being heard that there is an ongoing

:06:29.:06:37.

consultation on the service. It is still very much up in the ahr as to

:06:38.:06:44.

whether the centre is kept. The protesters are now preparing to

:06:45.:06:49.

leave the building on Fridax. They have been victorious. It is a

:06:50.:06:53.

victory at a time when experts are warning that mental health services

:06:54.:06:57.

Well, earlier I spoke to Patl Farmer, Chief Executive of the

:06:58.:07:01.

Mental Health charity MIND. He said today was a vital victory.

:07:02.:07:09.

Well, at a time when we know that people with mental health problems

:07:10.:07:15.

are really desperate to find the right kind of help and support, it

:07:16.:07:19.

is important that as many sdrvices as possible are open for people to

:07:20.:07:23.

be able to get that help and support. It is a good news day for

:07:24.:07:29.

those people who do use the service. Were you surprised that the strength

:07:30.:07:32.

of the reaction in Cambridgd to the news back in March that the centre

:07:33.:07:35.

was going to close? Overall funding to mental health has dropped over

:07:36.:07:39.

the last couple of years. Commissioners have to make some

:07:40.:07:43.

difficult choices. We know ht is really important in those

:07:44.:07:47.

circumstances to spend as mtch time as possible with the local

:07:48.:07:50.

community, with people with mental health problems and their f`milies,

:07:51.:07:54.

so when services are threatdned with closure, it is not surprising that

:07:55.:07:58.

people feel very concerned `bout it. In Cambridgeshire, they havd to make

:07:59.:08:03.

?6 million worth of savings. How worried are you generally across the

:08:04.:08:06.

east that more people like this are going to suffer with potenthal

:08:07.:08:10.

threats to their services? We do know that at the moment mental

:08:11.:08:15.

health services are under considerable threat, partly as a

:08:16.:08:18.

combination of more people wanting to seek help for their ment`l health

:08:19.:08:22.

but also as a result of tight budgets across clinical

:08:23.:08:27.

commissioning groups and those cuts are being faced by many services. We

:08:28.:08:32.

really want to see both at ` national and a local level this kind

:08:33.:08:36.

of approach towards mental health being given the same priority as

:08:37.:08:41.

physical health being implelented. How confident are you that lessage

:08:42.:08:46.

is being heard? Well, I think a band down the country, we are certainly

:08:47.:08:49.

hearing of some real pressure on mental health services. And we are

:08:50.:08:55.

continuing to encourage commissioners and politicians to

:08:56.:09:00.

give mental health the priority that is needed and we are also sdeing the

:09:01.:09:04.

stronger voice of people with their own experience of mental he`lth

:09:05.:09:06.

problems saying that really enough is enough now, it is time to put

:09:07.:09:10.

mental health at the priority position that it really needs to be

:09:11.:09:14.

if we are going to give people the chance they need to live kind of

:09:15.:09:18.

Hertfordshire Police has apologised for tweeting about fraud

:09:19.:09:21.

and drug dealing during Nigdria and Columbia's World Cup cl`shes.

:09:22.:09:24.

Columbia face Uruguay in thd FIFA World Cup,

:09:25.:09:26.

to report drug dealing visit, followed by a website address.

:09:27.:09:29.

They also tweeted an anti`fraud message during a Nigeria gale.

:09:30.:09:31.

Following complaints the force deleted the tweets and

:09:32.:09:33.

A driver has been jailed for speeding along the A1

:09:34.:09:42.

near Peterborough at 150mph with four young children

:09:43.:09:44.

When Cambridgeshire Police stopped the car on the A14,

:09:45.:09:48.

they found six`month old twhns in unsecured car seats, a one`xear`old

:09:49.:09:50.

girl asleep on the back seat and a two`year`old boy in the footwell.

:09:51.:09:53.

The driver from Berwick`upon`Tweed admitted dangerous driving

:09:54.:09:55.

He and was jailed for 20 wedks at Peterborough Crown Court.

:09:56.:09:59.

He was also banned from driving for three years.

:10:00.:10:07.

Coming up, we're counting down to the Tour de France. Plus thd rusty

:10:08.:10:21.

motorbike found in a field turns out to be a classic.

:10:22.:10:25.

Essex are hosting the world's biggest annual sporting event ` the

:10:26.:10:30.

Tour de France. The cavalcade of riders, back`up vehicles and media

:10:31.:10:33.

convoy will cover a distancd of around 100 miles.

:10:34.:10:35.

It's stage three of the event from Cambridge to London and inevitably,

:10:36.:10:38.

there is bound to be disruption to people's lives next Monday. We are

:10:39.:10:41.

going to bring you special reports on the Tour all week. We ard going

:10:42.:10:44.

to start with Mike Cartwright, looking at the Impact the event will

:10:45.:10:47.

have. Simon Lillistone was an Olylpic

:10:48.:10:55.

They have the bunting out rhght now in the street for a sporting

:10:56.:11:03.

spectacle. It is becoming p`rt of the world's most recognisable

:11:04.:11:07.

landmark. The competitors whll fly past year but the race will begin a

:11:08.:11:11.

short distance away. That m`y remind you of the route from there. They

:11:12.:11:15.

will hand out through the chty to saffron Walden and then it hs on out

:11:16.:11:20.

into the Essex countryside. Around Braintree, I ran Chelmsford and then

:11:21.:11:25.

it is the final like down through Epping Forest and into the capital.

:11:26.:11:28.

The finish line is outside Buckingham Palace. The tour has been

:11:29.:11:35.

months in preparation. Now ht is just days away. In sports, there is

:11:36.:11:41.

not much bigger. Giants of the cycling world, a huge entourage It

:11:42.:11:49.

is heading our way. We did today, it all gets under right here. The

:11:50.:11:55.

biggest bike race in the world. Mornings of huge crowds, public

:11:56.:11:58.

transport pushed to the limht and road closures. Monitored right here

:11:59.:12:05.

at this control centre, the first closures in the early hours of

:12:06.:12:09.

Sunday morning. All roads whll reopen by 6pm on Monday night. Some

:12:10.:12:14.

people are concerned. Some businesses. We do fully unddrstand

:12:15.:12:19.

that. There will be some disruption but we try to plan and make sure the

:12:20.:12:22.

information is out there so people can make choices. We do accdpt that

:12:23.:12:31.

that this is such a fantasthc event and such a high`profile event for

:12:32.:12:34.

Cambridge that it is going to be a wonderful day. The much reported

:12:35.:12:42.

pothole problem. The town is ready and waiting for the tour.

:12:43.:12:48.

On the day there could be tdn or 20,000 people here who are `fter ``

:12:49.:12:54.

will want to eat and maybe shop It is a great opportunity.

:12:55.:12:58.

This primary school along the routes in Essex is having to close.

:12:59.:13:02.

It would have been lovely to all view the events as a school.

:13:03.:13:10.

Children, families, staff. However, I am told that we are expecting

:13:11.:13:15.

about 5,000 people just in our tiny village alone. That would m`ke me

:13:16.:13:20.

quite worried for the safetx of our children if we were to join them.

:13:21.:13:27.

Just seven days until the 7th of July. Thousands expected along the

:13:28.:13:30.

route in Cambridge and beyond. A region bracing itself for the

:13:31.:13:35.

biggest bike race on earth. This is Cambridge on a normal Mondax, with

:13:36.:13:39.

crowds of tourists. Organisdrs say wait till next Monday. The city

:13:40.:13:41.

won't have seen anything like it. The biggest issue they had to

:13:42.:13:55.

contend with what Stansted @irport. The area around a major

:13:56.:13:59.

international airport is about ten miles in every direction whdre the

:14:00.:14:01.

law does not allow us to opdrate helicopters. An event such `s the

:14:02.:14:07.

Tour de France has about six or eight helicopters and two planes

:14:08.:14:10.

circling above it is to provide TV coverage. That was our biggdst

:14:11.:14:19.

factor. The first thought is actually what

:14:20.:14:22.

is going on in the air not on the ground. When it comes to thd actual

:14:23.:14:27.

roads, how much do you have to think about the scenery, what places it

:14:28.:14:31.

will go through? That is a critical part of it.

:14:32.:14:35.

The things we look for on the grounds sure we have iconic shots

:14:36.:14:41.

for TV, great viewing areas. We are starting in the city centre of

:14:42.:14:45.

Cambridge with all of the alazing scenery and architecture. H`ving

:14:46.:14:51.

down through what is quintessential British countryside with th`tched

:14:52.:14:55.

cottages. Then we enter central London, passed through the Olympic

:14:56.:15:00.

Park. If you were to list the attributes at this stage it is

:15:01.:15:04.

absolutely sensational. Excitement is building in this

:15:05.:15:07.

region has of the two are coming, but there are some concerns from

:15:08.:15:12.

some people. People are concerned that it may cause disruption.

:15:13.:15:18.

It will be fairly significant in terms of disruption. However, in the

:15:19.:15:22.

planning we have tried to mhnimise that where we can. The key thing is

:15:23.:15:27.

that this is an absolutely tnique opportunity. The Tour de Fr`nce is

:15:28.:15:30.

the world's largest annual sporting events. It is a fantastic d`y out

:15:31.:15:36.

for family, for everyone to come and see. My advice would be to plan

:15:37.:15:41.

around it if you need to. That might mean checking out the variots

:15:42.:15:44.

council websites about diversion routes. Find a way to work `round

:15:45.:15:50.

it. You might need to start or finish work a little earlier relate.

:15:51.:15:54.

I personally would take a d`y off. I would go out there and enjox it

:15:55.:15:59.

Make the most of it. You won't be taking the day off

:16:00.:16:03.

because you will be part of the tour.

:16:04.:16:06.

How excited are you? It is sensational. To have hts

:16:07.:16:11.

riverfront in the UK for thd third or fourth visit in history, a

:16:12.:16:18.

cycling is such a sensation`l success, is fantastic. I thhnk the

:16:19.:16:23.

three stages in the UK will be fantastic.

:16:24.:16:27.

Thank you. On tomorrow's programme, we will

:16:28.:16:30.

reveal the results of an exclusive poll carried out.

:16:31.:16:37.

Norwich City midfielder Robdrt Snodgrass has completed his transfer

:16:38.:16:41.

to Premier League side Hull City. The fee is believed to be around six

:16:42.:16:44.

million pounds. Meanwhile, `t Ipswich Town, manager Mick LcCarthy

:16:45.:16:47.

has signed a new three year contract which will keep him at the club till

:16:48.:16:50.

2017. He spoke to our sports reporter Tom Williams.

:16:51.:16:52.

Keynes has set out on a coastal tour of the UK on an old bike fotnd

:16:53.:17:00.

I am delighted and looking forward to it. We will be here for `nother

:17:01.:17:08.

three years, hopefully. A three`year contract for you and your

:17:09.:17:11.

assistance. If a testament to the progress you have made here in your

:17:12.:17:16.

time? I want to continue making progress. I love the players there.

:17:17.:17:22.

They are all better than last year. I think they are looking forward to

:17:23.:17:26.

it. We want another good se`son Fans this year can look forward to

:17:27.:17:33.

Derby in August. The first four games...

:17:34.:17:39.

It will be moved from Saturday at 3pm. Is that a shame?

:17:40.:17:48.

I think it is dictated by other forces. Generally, the police force!

:17:49.:17:53.

Not me and not the clubs. I would like to see it on a Saturdax.

:17:54.:18:03.

Wherever we have been in Derby, they're all big games. Unfortunately

:18:04.:18:10.

they do sometimes provoke a bit of bother. We just want to plax

:18:11.:18:14.

football. Your back for the pre`season already

:18:15.:18:17.

but the World Cup still continues. What have you made of it so far

:18:18.:18:22.

What I have watched has been disappointing. I am not a r`bid

:18:23.:18:26.

England fan because I play for Ireland, but the interest cdrtainly

:18:27.:18:32.

went when they were coming home England's worst World Cup for over

:18:33.:18:37.

50 years. What you put it down to? They just didn't play well dnough.

:18:38.:18:43.

The others play better. I think Roy got it right taking the young

:18:44.:18:46.

fellows because at some stage you have to change. I did it with

:18:47.:18:54.

Ireland's. We had a team of kids and gradually they blossomed and got

:18:55.:18:59.

experience. When we did qualify we did ourselves justice. I thhnk Roy

:19:00.:19:03.

has the right idea and unless he gets players with experiencd you

:19:04.:19:05.

will Keynes has set out on a coastal tour

:19:29.:19:33.

on the trip of a lifetime. It wasn't `` is was and may still be

:19:46.:19:51.

they cost more than a house. John Wallace's dad bought this one for

:19:52.:19:55.

just ten shillings. He found it in a cabbage patch in Kettering hn 1 61.

:19:56.:20:01.

Pay the equivalent of ?50 for it. Dad dug it up. When he got home my

:20:02.:20:07.

mother said what on earth dhd you buy that for? Not surprising,

:20:08.:20:12.

because it was not a complete bike, all in bits. He restored it over the

:20:13.:20:23.

next two years. In 1972, he gave it to me. He has cared for it dver

:20:24.:20:26.

since. This is John and his father 's

:20:27.:20:31.

side`by`side back in the dax. John is 65 now and the bike is 90. To

:20:32.:20:35.

celebrate he's taking it for thousands miles around the coast of

Britain to raise cash for comic relief.

Keynes to the Essex coast and he will be working his way arotnd the

:21:00.:21:04.

UK. It was taken around thrde and a half weeks.

:21:05.:21:11.

Writing something that is 90 years old and still running is fantastic.

:21:12.:21:14.

Can you imagine any modern bike doing that?

:21:15.:21:19.

It was built in the year at Stanley Baldwin was prime minister, when the

:21:20.:21:22.

first shipping forecast was broadcast.

:21:23.:21:29.

It was clearly built to last. Superior to the last.

:21:30.:21:39.

I can think of worse ways to spend three and a half weeks. Will the

:21:40.:21:47.

start of his Over the weekend, we had sole
