Hello and welcome to Look East with Susie and me.

The headlines tonight, from Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk.

Another shocking case of fly-tipping in Essex.

This one destroys thousands of honey bees.

Up to the third of what we took last year from honey came from this site.

So, absolutely devastated. The schoolboy vandals

who destroyed a memorial set up to honour a young girl

who was killed on a bouncy castle. The thought that somebody could come

to our school and deliberately and wilfully damage a memorial to a

young girl who died in such tragic circumstances was just horrifying.

Basildon Council in Essex is facing another huge clean-up operation

after fly-tippers dumped tons of rubbish on meadows.

The piles of industrial waste included asbestos.

Beehives were damaged as the rubbish was dumped

and it's believed a quarter of a million bees were killed.

We will hear from Basildon Council after this, from Gareth George.

A mountain of rubbish dumped illegally, a mix of rubble,

Have a look at just how much waste has been dumped here.

This is one of several huge piles dotted across this site.

Everything valuable in this rubbish, everything that can be sold has been

removed and what has been dumped here is any items that

This is industrial fly-tipping on a huge scale.

This council owned land is used by a beekeeper.

The fly-tippers' avalanche knocked over two of the hives,

hundreds of thousands of bees have died.

Hugely frustrated. I was angry.

In terms of the business impact, huge.

You know, as I say, up to a third of what we took last year from honey

This is the second time in the last seven months fly-tippers have

targeted this patch of land close to Wat Tyler

targeted this patch of land close to Wat Tyler Country Park in Basildon.

Last month, waste was dumped near a church near Lane and in Essex.

An organisation that supports rule communities says

it is seeing more and more cases of industrial fly-tipping.

We've seen quite a lot of this over the last few months in Essex.

Which is extremely disappointing for us.

Unfortunately, what we are seen at the moment is the dumping

of industrial waste on an industrial scale.

So, loads which blight on the landscape, damaging

the clean-up here will cost around ?20,000.

As attempts to trace whoever was responsible go on,

everything possible has been done to try and keep the land secure

in case the fly-tippers strike again.

Phil Turner is the leader of Basildon Council.

I asked him what can be done to stop the fly-tippers.

But we also require people to be vigilant and make note of who comes

It doesn't mean to say that people are living close by.

If you see anything suspicious, we want to know about that.

Obviously, in this case, it's been very distressing

for the beekeeper but, also, we're talking about asbestos,

human waste, there is a danger element here, as well.

Yes. It's absolutely outrageous.

Any fly-tipping causes anxiety but, on such a commercial scale,

when it's affecting people like beekeepers, then you have

to stop and ask yourself why is it that people insist on doing this.

And it really comes down to the fact that there are quite a lot of taxes

And we have seen an increase in fly-tipping, especially in Essex.

I drive through the countryside every day, every week and you'll see

Not on this scale but you'll see what looks like garden waste,

what looks like kitchens being cleared out,

It isn't just coming from one area or another.

Obviously, the council is going to try and do its own bit

of enforcement but are you confident that the police are able to catch

We work very closely with the police and we have a great relationship.

And we need extra surveillance now that deals with the perpetrators

I feel that, again, the law needs strengthening.

If we find that people are doing such large

scale dumping we need to, perhaps, look at the proceeds

of crime laws that actually sees their vehicles and,

We've heard that this is going to cost ?20,000 to clear up.

Is it taxpayers that are going to foot the bill?

A head teacher has released CCTV pictures

of vandals wrecking a garden in Norwich,

which was built in memory of a pupil who died.

Sara Bush who is the head of Valley Primary Academy,

described the damage as "mindless vandalism".

The garden was created in memory of Summer Grant

who died last year in an accident on a bouncy castle.

For young teenagers vandalising the reception class play area at Valley

primary Academy. They throw bricks and daubed graffiti and foul

language on the walls. If that isn't bad enough, they then set about

destroying Summer Grant's Memorial garden. They throw plans on the

ground and one boy chucks a tyre at the trellis. I felt completely sick,

if I am honest. The thought that somebody could come to our school

and deliberately and wilfully damage a memorial to a young girl who died

in tragic circumstances was just horrifying. Seven-year-old Summer

Grant died last year when the bouncy castle she was playing on blue away

in the wind. She loved flowers and the garden was created in her

memory. It has now been repaired but many parents at the school are

angry. I think it is horrible. I can't we understand how you can do

something like this. We all knew her. She was a beautiful little

girl. I have spoken to Summer Grant's mother and she is very

upset. She describes the attack as utterly pointless. Local people and

businesses have donated plants and flowers to help get the manorial

garden back to its best. People have been amazing. Out of this horrible

thing something really lovely has come because the community has

rallied around. A parent yesterday went to work and asked what they

could do. They said what they could try and get from other places and

got an amazing collection of plants and compost. Norfolk police are

investigating and the CCTV will provide big clues. Summer Grant's

family are still mourning her death and didn't deserve this.

It's been revealed today that Essex Police are investigating

a number of deaths at a mental health unit in Chelmsford.

The inquiries centre on the Linden Centre.

The confirmation came on the day an inquest jury decided

there were serious failings in the case of a 30 year-old man

For Richard Wade's family it has been a two-year ordeal. They now

know the state which should have protected him failed him. In May

2015, Richard, an accountant began to suffer delusions, he became

anxious and talked of throwing himself off a bridge. By his own

volition he was admitted to the Linden Centre for treatment. Both he

and we thought it to be a place of safety. It proved to be not so.

Barely 12 hours after admission, he sustained injuries from which he

never recovered. The inquest heard Richard Wade was found on the floor

of a shower room with a dressing gown cord around his neck. We heard

evidence from assistant consultant psychiatrist Doctor Michael Isaacs

who said he should not have had the chord with him. He had been

incorrectly considered a low suicide risk. While Richard Wade had taken

his own life, Joe was found he had been failed by health professionals.

Family members of other people were also harmed at the centre. They

welcomed the news that the number of deaths is now under investigation.

They are looking at 20 deaths at the centre. Something isn't right. It's

got to be stopped and needs investigation. The police have been

asked to investigate my son's Beth and I know Melanie's as well. We've

been up against brick walls. -- my son's death. For Richard and his

family it's too late but the trust that runs the centre says the

history of incidents there is of great concern and will support any

police investigation. A drug dealer who stabbed a Norwich

man many times and left him to die. Has been told he must serve

at least 20 years in prison. Steve Stannard who was 37

was killed outside his home The flat was being used as

a drugs den by a gang from London. You're watching Look East

to the weekend's big boxing fixture and one of the world's

top awards for white wine The co-leader of the Green Party

told Look East today he was hoping to win votes in our region

on June 8th Despite this being one of the most Brexit-supporting

parts of the country. and they are promising

a second Refendum on the terms They think 16 and 17-year-olds

should be allowed to vote for two new nuclear power stations

in Suffolk and Essex. They would rely on renewable energy

like wind and solar. We will hear from

co-leader Jonathan Bartley, The Greens know they have a mountain

to climb even in their home counties where they lost four seats to Labour

at County Hall. In Suffolk, support was strong in Bury St Edmunds.

Listening to what people have been saying about Jewish and fees.

Worrying about the cost of a university education. A decade ago,

green was the new cool prompting David Cameron to use a sledge to

highlight climate change. They won the seat of deceit on city councils.

Since then local support has faded but the party says their relevance

has not. They will oppose nuclear power plants at Bradl in Essex and

Sizewell in Suffolk. They are against expansion at Stansted

Airport and will promote environmentally friendly transport.

They would also support local wind farms if people back then. They say

that the system of first past the post is rigged against them. They

are currently polling around 3% and it isn't being translated into

Parliamentary seats, they say. We need to change the system to favour

smaller parties. 5% of people voted Ukip or green last year and it

gained them to seats. It makes sense. Leadership is a collegiate

affair. They have two leaders. He is a keen drummer, gaining here with

his band. The party will fight fire out of six seats in the east and if

they win one it will be a huge coup. -- five out of six.

Of course, the Green Party has two leaders

When I spoke to Mr Bartley earlier this afternoon,

I asked him about their disappointing results

When they lost all their seats in Norfolk.

We were squeezed. A lot of people were thinking about the general

election and at general elections people think in different terms.

There's a lot of coverage for the big parties. It's hard for us. We've

been given a lower billing by broadcasters in this election. It

was inevitable that we were to be struggling. If those people were

taking about the general election in the local elections, they will be

thinking about it in the general election, where they? We have got

our place in the leaders debate, plays on question Time, a lot more

media coverage. We've had to fight very hard to get our voice heard but

in the latter part of the general election campaign there will be much

more of a Green presents so people will see what we are standing for

and we'll hear what a green vote means for them particularly in

places like Norwich. You've had good representation on Norwich City

Council and yet parts of it are still among the most polluted parts

of the country. Nothing has been achieved. We haven't controlled the

council so we are not able to put forward our policies but we are able

to shout very loudly when the policies of labour are not

delivering for local people. Labour seem to be stealing a lot of your

policies to shout loudly against you. Take care pollution. Labour

aren't making the right choices. You can't save you will tackle air

pollution and expand roads and airports. You have to make the right

choices around air pollution. We are very principled. We don't

compromise. This is the second most Brexit friendly area in the whole

country and you are saying that you will look again at Brexit and the

deal we get. That is not going to play well with a lot of people here.

People in my family voted Leave. People in our party voted Leave. It

is the biggest decision that will affect our kids futures for decades

to come. Theresa May has conceded after much campaigning that there

should be a vote in parliament on the final deal. If we just that the

MPs, how much more should we be trusting the British people to make

that decision. They are going to have to pay the consequences of the

deal. They should have a vote on whether to accept it. It is their

lives at stake. Our coverage of the Election

they hit the deck. We keep doing this. I supported them 50 years.

This is what they do to others. They never make it easy. Terribly

disappointing to lose in that fashion at the end. Gutted, aren't

we? I don't know. Get on with it. Rewind an hour and a half, as soggy

Kenilworth Road was full of hope. They had their work cut out when

Blackpool took the lead and a 2-goal advantage in the tie. The Hatters

rolled up their sleeves and began to dominate. Alan Shearer's shot was

going wide but Kevin Mela's leg had other ideas. Scott Cuthbert glanced

Nathan Jones's side in front. The tie all square. Then a controversial

third for the Hatters. Danny Houghton tumbling theatrically in

the box but sending Luton 5-4 in the tie and on their way to Wembley. By

hook or by crook, it was looking good until Hatters goalkeeper Stuart

Moore entered stage right but his timing was out. Blackpool pulled one

back. 3-2. 5-5 on aggregate. And then that corner, that header, that

Miss kick and more misery. An element of naivete in certain

things. To concede three in all three semifinals, really is

disappointing. I'm proud of how we go about our work, proud of the

group and the club. A miserable record in the play-offs continues.

They've never been promoted by the play-offs. They start next season

back in League 2. Such a contrast. Wembley for them. Which, for them.

There's a big night of boxing ahead for two brothers from Norfolk.

Tomorrow the Walsh twins Liam and Ryan from Cromer

are fighting on the same bill at London's Copper Box Arena.

And is fighting for the IBF Super Featherweight World title.

To the Walsh brothers official fan club, an early breakfast

before making the journey from Cromer to London.

The excitement building ahead of fight night.

They've earned their right to be on that level,

Liam especially on that world level. It's been really nice to see.

Something special, something we've been waiting for seven years,

7-8 years we've been waiting for this.

You wouldn't know it but the brothers are preparing

They are relaxed as ever the hard work behind-the-scenes is done.

Back in Cromer, an anxious time for all the family.

Although, the newest members are keeping cool.

It's horrible having to watch them fight and it's going to be great

and I know he's going to bring back that belt.

And, obviously, it's hard to watch but, I'm not nervous.

The Walsh fans are forecasting a mighty storm in the ring.

Must be very difficult watching. I can't believe it comes down to two

ounces. They just take their shirts off. That's why he was holding the

thing up. To the great wine drinking growing

regions of the world Marlborough, Bordeaux and Napa Valley,

we can now add The Norfolk Broads. A family run vineyard

has just beaten off competition To be the first in England

to win one of The Bacchus 2015 from

Winbirri Vineyards in Surlingham. It has been selected the best white

wine from a single grape variety. It's only eight years old but

already this vineyard is a world beater. That's according to 200 top

wine experts at the Decanter world wine awards. They were looking at

wines under ?15 per bottle. It's the pinnacle of what we can do with our

still white wines. It's the biggest competition in the world. To win it

for our Bacchus wine is amazing. The Bacchus grape is an English hedgerow

in a glass. Notes of goo is free and elderflower. Quintessentially

English. The grape was developed in Germany but growers here realised it

was perfect for English conditions. Nature plays a part in the success

here. It is typically warm, dry, and sunny. The soil drains well. But

there is a lot of nurture in producing wine here. No more than 12

kilos in a tray, not crushing the grapes. Once you do, you start

splitting the Skins. You can buy Bacchus 2015 in supermarkets online

but closer to home, they are proud to sell it locally just down the

road at cold hall. Very nice and very tasty. Very sharp and clean. If

it's been voted the best in the world, I can well believe it. The

flavour is delicate but it's got a good flavour. We are great believers

in supporting local projects. To have vineyard just half a mile away

is fantastic. They modestly called the award a pat on the back. They

hope it will encourage vineyards across the country. To win that for

England has put in Gush wines on the map. We've proven with the sparkling

wine in the past that we can beat champagne. Now, with the still wine

we can prove that we can beat the European still wines. They are

planning to plant more vines. The problem with Bacchus now is making

an offer of it. -- making enough of it. It is lovely wine. I ask you to

describe it earlier and you didn't come up with English hedgerow in a

glass. I wish I had. A great description.

Today are much fresher feel. A shock to the system. We've had some rain

as well. Not everywhere. Where we haven't had wet stuff, cloudy skies.

Nevertheless, impressive weather pictures. The radar sequence shows

the shower is well scattered in the East. This area produced some heavy

downpours and quite persistent rain for a time. That's now breaking up

and overnight there will be quite a lot of dry weather. Showers could

happen just about anywhere. For some others, it could turn quite chilly.

Some parts as low as 5-7dC. We might have a fewer overnight showers

lingering for a time but a lot of dry weather to start the day before

more showers start to feed in from the south-west. Temperatures getting

a bit higher than today. Up to about 17 Celsius at best. During the

afternoon, showers becoming more widespread. Longer spells of rain

for some of ours. We can't rule out the odd heavy downpour. On Sunday,

high-pressure starting to build. Sunday looking a fine and dry day.

If we are going to see a shower, probably in the Northwest. It will

probably stay dry and in the sunshine temperatures up to about 18

degrees. That's the trend heading into Monday. On Monday, highs of 20

Celsius. Quite a lot of cloud around on Monday but it should stay dry.

Perhaps some lengthy spells of sunshine on Tuesday as high pressure

builds. That's it. From all others. Have a

lovely weekend. Goodbye. It's cold.

Tastes a bit like avocado. And soon we're all
