MK is already one of Europe's fastest growing cities.

:00:00.:00:17.

But now, there are plans whhch would see it bigger than Cardiff!

:00:18.:00:23.

Buy 'em cheap, sell them on for millions.

:00:24.:00:25.

The secret of success for Peterborough United,

:00:26.:00:30.

And, taking to the track, in a truck.

:00:31.:00:33.

Why would anyone want to race in an HGV?

:00:34.:00:43.

the Rugby World Cup is on its way to Milton Keynes.

:00:44.:00:48.

Tickets went on sale today for the matches, including the three

:00:49.:00:51.

games which will take place at Stadium MK in October next year.

:00:52.:00:59.

Prices range from ?15 for the cheapest seats when Fiji

:01:00.:01:01.

face Uruguay or Russia, up to ?150 for the most expdnsive

:01:02.:01:06.

There have been concerns expressed that cyber criminals will try

:01:07.:01:11.

and buy up tickets to sell on the so`called secondary larket,

:01:12.:01:13.

but organisers say they're working hard to make sure genuine f`ns are

:01:14.:01:16.

In a moment, we speak to thd chief executive of the Rugby World Cup.

:01:17.:01:20.

But, first, this report frol Mike Cartwright in Milton Kdynes.

:01:21.:01:27.

Sporting giants have come to Stadium MK before.

:01:28.:01:33.

Man United defeated by the Dons here only only last month.

:01:34.:01:41.

In this scrum today, Dylan Hartley of England

:01:42.:01:43.

Stadium MK hosted his team in the Rugby Heineken Cup.

:01:44.:01:49.

A great atmosphere, a cauldron, everyone is right on top

:01:50.:01:51.

Stadium MK, the venue for three World Ctp

:01:52.:02:07.

the first in October next ydar, the French take on the Canadians.

:02:08.:02:11.

On the sixth, Fiji versus Uruguay or Russha.

:02:12.:02:15.

At the corporate level, there are boxes available and food and drink,

:02:16.:02:23.

The cheapest price for an adult is ?15 for one

:02:24.:02:27.

If you want more, you can always pay.

:02:28.:02:33.

25% of the stadium will be for those at the cheapest prices.

:02:34.:02:39.

At a Dons game, the average crowd is 9,000.

:02:40.:02:42.

The capacity of this stadiul is more than 30,000.

:02:43.:02:46.

Come the Rugby World Cup, can they fill the seats?

:02:47.:02:49.

The Rugby World Cup is coming, do you know about it?

:02:50.:03:04.

Part of the stadium, this hotel where Fiji and Samoa will bd based.

:03:05.:03:15.

Their presence here and the World Cup, good for MK.

:03:16.:03:19.

I want to be sure everyone hn Milton Keynes can get a ticket,

:03:20.:03:23.

The real legacy will be about young people, sport,

:03:24.:03:26.

It will be about the spotlight on Milton Keynes,

:03:27.:03:32.

Today, at Twickenham, the great and good lined up to

:03:33.:03:40.

Come October, the rugby elite will be competing here.

:03:41.:03:50.

Well, earlier we spoke to the chief executive of Engl`nd Rugby

:03:51.:03:54.

2015, and first asked her why they had chosen Stadium MK as a venue.

:03:55.:04:01.

We chose Stadium MK as a great venue.

:04:02.:04:05.

Secondly, we have had fantastic support from the city

:04:06.:04:07.

They are really excited about the event.

:04:08.:04:14.

Aligned to that, it is accessible, easy for spectators to get there,

:04:15.:04:21.

If you put that package togdther, it wasn't a difficult decishon.

:04:22.:04:29.

People talk about the Rugby World Cup coming to England but it is

:04:30.:04:32.

the regions it will affect, particularly around Milton Keynes.

:04:33.:04:39.

What impact do you hope rugby can have?

:04:40.:04:41.

To raise the profile of the regions within the country,

:04:42.:04:43.

We have team bases there, a way to take rugby to the regions

:04:44.:04:50.

We are looking for ideas whdre they can engage with the community.

:04:51.:04:59.

We have the venues and teams going there so we can

:05:00.:05:07.

Tickets, how worried are yot about the ticket prices?

:05:08.:05:18.

They start as low as ?7, but go up to ?150. Are you worried

:05:19.:05:22.

people who want to go may bd put off by the prices?

:05:23.:05:25.

I've always said we have to be realistic.

:05:26.:05:28.

I was passionate about keephng prices at the lower end

:05:29.:05:33.

and ?7 is a good entry pricd for the under`16, ?15 for adults.

:05:34.:05:41.

We had to align accessibility with the economics of raising

:05:42.:05:43.

There are a lot of tickets that have fair prices.

:05:44.:05:55.

It is an even spread for each of those categories.

:05:56.:06:03.

When people look at the prices and the matches on offer, it is fair.

:06:04.:06:08.

There has been talk about ticket touts, fears pdople

:06:09.:06:11.

What I want to happen, we haven't got legislation,

:06:12.:06:22.

we have put in place as many things as we can to ensure

:06:23.:06:29.

those fans do get the opportunity to get to the games at face value.

:06:30.:06:34.

In big events, not just sporting events, the touts will come in

:06:35.:06:39.

and two minutes later they will be on ticket sites for a lot more.

:06:40.:06:44.

That is why it is a fair ballot a maximum of four tickets per person.

:06:45.:06:51.

A resell platform is through our own site.

:06:52.:06:55.

The other thing I would say is the only way to be sure that ticket is

:06:56.:07:02.

genuine, and valid for entrx, is if you buy through an official site.

:07:03.:07:05.

The World Cup is certainly putting Milton Keynes on thd map.

:07:06.:07:11.

Now, new plans are being considered which would see it grow to

:07:12.:07:14.

The proposals are for another 38,000 houses.

:07:15.:07:17.

and is looking at how the new town should dxpand

:07:18.:07:22.

It's the latest stage in the town's remarkable development.

:07:23.:07:27.

In 1967, Milton Keynes had a population of just 60,000.

:07:28.:07:30.

At the last census in 2011, that figure had more than qtadrupled

:07:31.:07:33.

In 12 years' time, it's set to grow again by another 5,000.

:07:34.:07:43.

And, by 2031, the population could have reached 350,000.

:07:44.:07:45.

Wherever you look, it is obvious this town is experiencing ydt

:07:46.:07:57.

It is the biggest successes in the South East,

:07:58.:08:00.

From someone who's lived all their life here, what was once

:08:01.:08:07.

an expanse of green fields, now houses and factories, fantastic

:08:08.:08:09.

MK has already identified several sites for more houshng.

:08:10.:08:12.

If it wants to avoid development in the wrong areas, it has to have

:08:13.:08:16.

We would be subject to hosthle developers who could proposd

:08:17.:08:24.

building in the open countrxside and sensitive areas.

:08:25.:08:30.

If you don't have the plan hn place, you do have hostile developlent

:08:31.:08:35.

then you are obliged to givd consent to those.

:08:36.:08:45.

38,000 houses are planned in the next 16 years.

:08:46.:08:53.

The people who will live in these homes will also nedd jobs.

:08:54.:08:56.

MK has never had a problem attracting companhes.

:08:57.:08:59.

What makes Milton Keynes so attractive to businesses is

:09:00.:09:01.

It is halfway between London and Birmingham, halfway

:09:02.:09:05.

That means, within a 90`mintte drive, they can

:09:06.:09:16.

In the last ten years, despite the recession, MK h`s

:09:17.:09:20.

The challenge now is to continue that growth in business

:09:21.:09:29.

PlanMK consultation runs until December.

:09:30.:09:50.

A ?6 million pound state`of`the`art secondary school has been

:09:51.:09:52.

The new Technical School is geared towards pupils who have

:09:53.:09:56.

a strong interest in subjects such as engineering, electronics

:09:57.:09:58.

It aims to build close links with local companies to offdr

:09:59.:10:01.

It is the fifth secondary school to be

:10:02.:10:10.

opened in Corby which is a fantastic town.

:10:11.:10:12.

We hope we get great educathon throughout the town,

:10:13.:10:14.

We recently achieved an outstanding in our Ofsted grading

:10:15.:10:18.

in April this year, we are pleased to put ourselves officially

:10:19.:10:21.

A campaign's begun to raise three quarters

:10:22.:10:26.

of a million pounds to try to save a community garden in Peterborough.

:10:27.:10:30.

The Green Backyard, near London Road, is used by people across the

:10:31.:10:33.

The council owns the land, but wants to sell it to devdlopers

:10:34.:10:38.

A real grassroots charity, that it how the Green Backy`rd

:10:39.:10:49.

It has been running for five years but, now,

:10:50.:10:54.

The input from the community has been huge.

:10:55.:11:01.

We are now used by schools across the city, people frol outside

:11:02.:11:04.

Volunteers, hundreds and thousands of pdople

:11:05.:11:09.

throughout the year benefithng from this space in so many ways

:11:10.:11:12.

The loss of people's hope and pride in what they invested is

:11:13.:11:28.

Campaigners trying to save the gardens say the Governmdnt is

:11:29.:11:30.

now also recognising the value that urban gardens can give.

:11:31.:11:34.

There have been a number of reports looking at urban green spacds.

:11:35.:11:37.

One from the Federation of Community Gardens which believes

:11:38.:11:40.

they are so important they should be built in to city plans.

:11:41.:11:43.

The council which owns the land says it had little choice whth

:11:44.:11:46.

Funding from the Government to support these schemes is dwhndling.

:11:47.:11:52.

We are having to look at assets in the council which are not

:11:53.:11:56.

The ?24 million over five ydars we need to deliver,

:11:57.:12:06.

The Green Backyard has six lonths to come up with the money,

:12:07.:12:12.

otherwise it will be leaving here by next summer.

:12:13.:12:19.

The number of prison officers at one of our maximum securhty

:12:20.:12:21.

prisons is falling, despite a rise in the number of inm`tes

:12:22.:12:24.

The figures from the Howard League for Penal Reform show the ntmber

:12:25.:12:27.

of officers at HMP Woodhill near Milton Keynes has fallen to 290

:12:28.:12:30.

The Government insists staffing levels are safe for the number

:12:31.:12:33.

But the charity believes safety could be compromised.

:12:34.:12:41.

Cambridge University has succeeded in raising more than ?1 million to

:12:42.:12:44.

The Codex Zacynthius is a Ndw Testament manuscript which features

:12:45.:12:48.

It's been in the Cambridge University Library since 1984, and

:12:49.:12:52.

it was offered first refusal when the manuscript owner wanted to sell.

:12:53.:12:57.

Later, Alex is here with the weathdr.

:12:58.:12:58.

Let's join Stewart and Susid now, for more from the region.

:12:59.:13:21.

Still to come, Alex will be here with the weather. And what happens

:13:22.:13:24.

when HCB vehicles take to the race track.

:13:25.:13:25.

New figures released this wdek showed the growing number of people

:13:26.:13:28.

It's often seen as a condithon which affects the elderly.

:13:29.:13:34.

But Phil Barker got in touch to tell us about his wife Lisa, who was

:13:35.:13:38.

diagnosed with early onset dementia two years ago at the age of 45.

:13:39.:13:41.

Phil, who's from Norfolk, wanted us to tell Lisa's story.

:13:42.:13:43.

That is Mike and Jane's swilming pool. Phil and Lisa Barker looking

:13:44.:14:01.

at photographs of a summer holiday in America. Sadly, Lisa can't

:14:02.:14:10.

remember nothing about it. @ll of us went to see Jane and Mike in Texas.

:14:11.:14:16.

The holiday was two weeks ago. Lisa asks me what we're having to eat in

:14:17.:14:20.

the evening and I will tell and then she will ask me again and again And

:14:21.:14:26.

if I have to answer you 20 times, then I will answer you 20 thmes so

:14:27.:14:31.

that short`term memory is the biggest indication of what hs going

:14:32.:14:36.

on. Originally from Liverpool, Lisa was a nurse. She was diagnosed with

:14:37.:14:41.

early onset Alzheimer's two years ago at the age of 45. Lisa `nd

:14:42.:14:48.

Phil, the chief engineer in the car industry, have two sons aged 15 and

:14:49.:14:56.

11. We get by with the support of our fantastic friends. Both other

:14:57.:14:59.

families are up in Liverpool and the visit when they can, but certainly

:15:00.:15:03.

with the friends we have got around us, in the immediate vicinity, we

:15:04.:15:10.

have got many, many friends we can count on, we can call up anx time of

:15:11.:15:15.

day or night. Surely lives opposite and she's a great help. I asked to

:15:16.:15:23.

see some photographs and Lisa's Mum finds a wedding photo. Can xou

:15:24.:15:34.

remember your wedding day? No. Lisa's eyes fill with tears, as they

:15:35.:15:40.

often do. She is trying to remember something, anything, but shd can't.

:15:41.:15:46.

Lisa's dad also had Alzheimdr's so it is particularly hard for her mum.

:15:47.:15:52.

Well, I had noticed for somd time, but you hope against hope that it is

:15:53.:15:57.

not happening. You can't believe it's happening again, and it's

:15:58.:16:01.

heartbreaking. The thing th`t upsets me most is the boys, they h`ve lost

:16:02.:16:07.

a loving mum. Because she w`s so good and cared so much. Now it has

:16:08.:16:14.

all gone, really. She knows them and give them hugs, but something has

:16:15.:16:27.

gone. We like laughing and joking, so that's still there. We'rd doing

:16:28.:16:37.

better in some ways. Lisa c`n do very little now. She likes to watch

:16:38.:16:41.

television, but even that appears to be a struggle. It is the kindness of

:16:42.:16:47.

friends, families and health care professionals which keep Phhl and

:16:48.:16:48.

Lisa going. Hugo de Waal is from Norfolk

:16:49.:16:55.

Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust. He's one of the leading figtres

:16:56.:16:57.

in dementia care. Particularly aggressive in xounger

:16:58.:17:09.

people, dementia? It is. If someone gets it at 85 years old or hn their

:17:10.:17:13.

40s, while there are many similarities in those situations,

:17:14.:17:18.

the younger person will go ` far more destructive course of the older

:17:19.:17:23.

son someone who is 85. We are seeing the figures are going up, I'll be

:17:24.:17:28.

any closer to identifying what causes it or are we spotting it

:17:29.:17:32.

earlier? There has been trelendous progress over the past 15 ydars We

:17:33.:17:37.

now more about gene involvelent and all that sort of stuff, but what we

:17:38.:17:43.

don't know yet quite is how the cascade of things that go wrong

:17:44.:17:46.

leads to the illness in the end and we know it is not just one hllness,

:17:47.:17:51.

it is many different forms. While there is a lot of progress, that is

:17:52.:17:56.

still a lot to be done. I know you are looking at different waxs of

:17:57.:17:59.

helping people through it. Tell me about some of those. In the absence

:18:00.:18:05.

of a cure, what we're trying to do is maximise the sort of support we

:18:06.:18:08.

can give to people who are living with the illness, and that leans we

:18:09.:18:12.

try to put people in a position where they can to some degrde live

:18:13.:18:19.

well with dementia. The main problem is after diagnosis, when people are

:18:20.:18:24.

talking up the illness, then things go quiet, because specialist

:18:25.:18:29.

services, health or social care then to spring into action when

:18:30.:18:33.

things are really quite critical. But for many years, people will post

:18:34.:18:37.

along as best as they can, trying to make the best of it, but without the

:18:38.:18:44.

support and that is what we are looking to achieve. And you are

:18:45.:18:48.

trying to find out a lot about their lives before dementia to help them

:18:49.:18:52.

when they get it quite badlx. Precisely, because when people are

:18:53.:18:56.

further into the illness, they can communicate about themselves as

:18:57.:18:59.

easily as they did before, so we have a development called Mx Brain

:19:00.:19:07.

Look, which tries to capturd essential information about a person

:19:08.:19:11.

after diagnosis in a very friendly way. Music, personally history, the

:19:12.:19:16.

things you don't want, the things you do want. That travels in the

:19:17.:19:23.

system we are designing with the person as the illness progrdsses and

:19:24.:19:26.

is accessible to carers, who might not be able to get to know xou as

:19:27.:19:31.

well, but have this precise record of what makes you tick.

:19:32.:19:36.

Life has rarely been dull for fans of Peterborough Unhted

:19:37.:19:38.

They've enjoyed and endured three promotions and two

:19:39.:19:41.

And at the moment they're top of the league.

:19:42.:19:44.

So now is the time to build for the future.

:19:45.:19:47.

The ground is being redeveloped and they are one

:19:48.:19:49.

of the best clubs in the cotntry at finding and developing t`lent.

:19:50.:19:58.

When it comes to recruiting talented young players, there is nobody

:19:59.:20:03.

better. Darren Ferguson has become the master, finding rough dhamonds

:20:04.:20:09.

in non`league, polishing thdm up to become a little gems in the football

:20:10.:20:13.

league. You are not buying them to sell them immediately, you `re

:20:14.:20:21.

buying them to have success. The players fully understand thdy get

:20:22.:20:25.

the opportunity here and we don t stand on their way. Obviously, with

:20:26.:20:30.

international weekend just gone we had about 23 scouts at our game so

:20:31.:20:36.

that just choose people know we do well without younger players. Few

:20:37.:20:49.

had heard of Aaron Maclean, George Boyd. Over 200 goals later, they

:20:50.:20:55.

were sold for millions. It hs a policy that appears flawless. These

:20:56.:21:01.

players cost less than ?3 mhllion. Beta brewers sold them on for around

:21:02.:21:08.

?17 million. Their latest b`rgains scored five goals already this year.

:21:09.:21:13.

What they are doing is brilliant and people like me are getting ` chance.

:21:14.:21:16.

I don't want to rest on my laurels and settle here, I want to go on as

:21:17.:21:21.

they are far can go, but for the time being, this is where I

:21:22.:21:26.

differently want to be. Off the pitch, the finishing touches to the

:21:27.:21:31.

newsstand. Seats will be installed soon and it should be open by the

:21:32.:21:35.

end of September. With the team on the up, these reporters: Wh`t is a

:21:36.:21:44.

mortal cup `` they need supporters to come and see their local club.

:21:45.:21:53.

Peter Brewer needs championship football. They encompass will help

:21:54.:21:57.

them become sustainable long`term. Right now, it is down to hil to get

:21:58.:21:59.

them promoted. home tomorrow. In fact, all

:22:00.:22:03.

of our league sides are in `ction. We'll have the goals

:22:04.:22:08.

in our teatime bulletin on Sunday. Here's a sport we don't havd on Look

:22:09.:22:13.

East very often ` truck rachng. When the sport started in the 1 80s,

:22:14.:22:16.

they used just normal road`going But now the racers have

:22:17.:22:22.

something more purpose` built. We're talking 1000 horsepowdr `

:22:23.:22:25.

capable of reaching 100mph. Jonathan Park has been to Snetterton

:22:26.:22:27.

to see them in action. Trucks will never match sports cars

:22:28.:22:46.

in the glamour stakes, but when it comes to sheer horsepower, there's a

:22:47.:22:50.

lorry load here. What is thd secret to driving something as big as this

:22:51.:22:54.

round a track? It is all about momentum. It is five and a half

:22:55.:23:00.

tonnes of wheat, you have jtst over 1000 horsepower, but once you have

:23:01.:23:10.

slowed that either as an most of the racers are hauliers during the week.

:23:11.:23:23.

These trucks might have been the ugly ducklings of motor sport, but

:23:24.:23:27.

I'm told they can fly. Stew`rt didn't waste any time showing me

:23:28.:23:33.

what his machine could be c`pable of, which is quite impressive. A

:23:34.:23:37.

normal truck has around 500 horsepower. These are doubld. Zero

`60 quicker than a portion. `` Porsche. I wanted to try racing

:23:45.:24:02.

and I choose truck racing. H really took to it. Ryan was throwing his

wife in around with plenty of enthusiasm today's practice
