:04:34. > :04:38.essential services. One suggestion that often comes up is cutthng down
:04:39. > :04:42.on managers. That has been like that, we have put a lot of staff,
:04:43. > :04:51.lost a lot of managers, people at every level. The basic councillor's
:04:52. > :04:57.allowance is ?7,000 a year, if we were to cut bows down to zero, it'd
:04:58. > :05:09.be such a small amount, it would not have a big impact `` to cut those
:05:10. > :05:14.down. Last year, the council was spending 167 million a year, that
:05:15. > :05:19.needs to reduce to 126 millhon by 2017. They need to cut by a further
:05:20. > :05:25.33 million in the next two xears to meet that target. One option is to
:05:26. > :05:35.look at ways of making monex. Like using this council vehicle depot to
:05:36. > :05:38.do an 's. That helps plug the gap, but not completely. Where would
:05:39. > :05:45.people make savings, if thex were in charge? But a cross by the ones
:05:46. > :05:50.where you would make savings. It is a difficult choice, they ard all
:05:51. > :05:59.equally important. Transport. Street cleaning? Street cleaning, traffic.
:06:00. > :06:08.Where else would you make s`vings? You have chosen children services
:06:09. > :06:12.and counsel. Adult care perhaps All these are valid, I can't sax
:06:13. > :06:19.anything. Pick one more than they will leave you in peace. Chhldren's
:06:20. > :06:25.services. The least worrying for me would be the libraries and leisure.
:06:26. > :06:29.This survey was completely unscientific. What it does show is
:06:30. > :06:32.that different services are important to different people. The
:06:33. > :06:34.one thing they all agree on is that making cuts and savings is no easy
:06:35. > :06:38.task. The man in charge of policing
:06:39. > :06:41.Milton Keynes has today condemned an apparent shooting at a house

:09:52. > :09:55.should we begin to really focus on a child's nutrition?
:09:56. > :09:57.I asked Dr Marie Ann Ha this afternoon.
:09:58. > :10:08.You need to start early, thd risk develop throughout life. It is from
:10:09. > :10:14.conception to aged two years. During that time, you lay down risk for
:10:15. > :10:19.diabetes, heart disease and stroke. That depends on how well notrished

:11:33. > :11:36.get used to it over time. It is about persevering and getting used
