:00:27. > :00:31.later. First tonight a Brexit boom
:00:32. > :00:36.for our boatbuilders. Most of the luxury yachts
:00:37. > :00:39.built in this country go to overseas buyers,
:00:40. > :00:43.predominantly in America and Europe. The value of the pound
:00:44. > :00:45.against the dollar and the Euro means British boats are now
:00:46. > :00:47.cheaper to foreign buyers. British companies are having to pay

:01:19. > :01:23.they have felt the benefit. We have had a great last four
:01:24. > :01:26.months, we have sold six boats, all to foreign buyers -
:01:27. > :01:30.half to America, and half They are taking advantage
:01:31. > :01:34.of the exchange rate, it is very clear our boats have

:01:39. > :01:47.behind me, that's nearly $500,000. The yachts made by the yard
:01:48. > :01:51.cost up to ?2.5 million. Nine out of every

:03:10. > :03:15.How much do you put the success down to the Brexit factor?
:03:16. > :03:21.Obviously, the Brexit factor, the lower pound, and it has affected
:03:22. > :03:24.stocks and shares, this has allowed us to make the decision a bit
:03:25. > :03:28.earlier. But we have done a hard drive on sales and marketing in the
:03:29. > :03:31.last two and a half years. It has made people have the desire to have
:03:32. > :03:37.the boat in the first place. They are not just buying all of a sudden
:03:38. > :03:40.because the pound is low. We heard the reports that many
:03:41. > :03:44.companies such as are now having to pay more for imported, raw
:03:45. > :03:49.materials. Is that something that is having an impact?
:03:50. > :03:54.It is having a small impact, but our boats are completely built from
:03:55. > :03:58.wood, and the majority of the cost of building is Labour. It is

:04:12. > :04:17.the future. No business, no matter what you are in, likes uncertainty.
:04:18. > :04:21.Yes, I agree with that. I think with what is quick to happen with Brexit
:04:22. > :04:25.and how the trade deals are, it could have a huge effect. But boats
:04:26. > :04:32.can be registered around the world, at which the value of boats, people
:04:33. > :04:36.can register in a country outside Europe, even if they are European.
:04:37. > :04:41.We will have to see where it goes, it will be very interesting to see

:06:35. > :06:37.that since the inspections, they have made considerable changes
:06:38. > :06:42.to their management and governors, and that includes a lot
:06:43. > :06:45.of training of staff, but the CQC said that
:06:46. > :06:47.while they recognised progress has been made,

:07:33. > :07:35.the train from King's Cross to Kings Lynn before being driven

:07:48. > :07:50.accused Waveney Council of "bungling incompetence" over
:07:51. > :07:54.a multi-million pound project Bollards to tie up boats
:07:55. > :07:59.were never installed, making the quay unusable
:08:00. > :08:02.for larger vessels. The council has admitted
:08:03. > :08:08.mistakes were made. Spring 2010,
:08:09. > :08:10.Southwold's historic harbour wall, Later that year, a ?4 million
:08:11. > :08:18.project to rebuild it and make other improvements was announced -
:08:19. > :08:21.to the delight of locals. Bunkering for diesel,
:08:22. > :08:25.new crane, new electrics, And hopefully we will keep
:08:26. > :08:30.the bollards, which are the only Trouble is, despite giving many
:08:31. > :08:35.years of sterling service, those bollards were not reinstalled
:08:36. > :08:38.on top of the harbour wall. New ones were specified
:08:39. > :08:43.at a cost of ?64,000. But, for whatever reason,
:08:44. > :08:47.they were never installed. Instead, mooring rings
:08:48. > :08:52.were installed, which are not strong enough for
:08:53. > :08:55.commercial vessels. And the tragedy is the fact
:08:56. > :08:59.that we can't earn a living from the wall, so there
:09:00. > :09:02.is no money coming in. So, you've got boats queueing up
:09:03. > :09:05.to use this quayside that We've got spaces here to take boats
:09:06. > :09:09.that want to use it, but we can't use them,
:09:10. > :09:12.because of this problem Waveney Council admits it has
:09:13. > :09:17.signed off the project. It will now have to
:09:18. > :09:21.pay to sort it out. It's been described
:09:22. > :09:24.as bungling incompetence. I mean, obviously, there has been
:09:25. > :09:28.an oversight with regards to the fixing arrangements
:09:29. > :09:31.of the bollards. It could be, in actual
:09:32. > :09:34.fact, it was the wrong But to call it bungling incompetence
:09:35. > :09:39.I don't think is the case. The council says it will now
:09:40. > :09:41.install the bollards needed Some of the old ones, made in 1908,
:09:42. > :09:47.did not go to waste. A couple are now protecting a car

:10:00. > :10:11.the late team, goodnight. Good evening. After a relatively
:10:12. > :10:13.mild day, we have got chilly conditions overnight tonight. The
:10:14. > :10:17.weather front that brought patchy rain for some of us today has
:10:18. > :10:21.cleared to the south-east, and we are left with clear skies. Some
:10:22. > :10:24.patchy mist and fog around, temperatures dropping boats to
:10:25. > :10:30.freezing, if not below in frost prone spots. The risk of frost and
:10:31. > :10:34.perhaps some icy patches where we have had that earlier rain. Chilly
:10:35. > :10:37.start to the day tomorrow. High-pressure building in from the
:10:38. > :10:43.South West for tomorrow, a fine forecasters expected. A bit of a
:10:44. > :10:46.chilly start, mist and fog to clear first thing, then long spells of
:10:47. > :10:51.sunshine through the morning. It will be on the chilly side, highs of
:10:52. > :10:55.around 6-7 , and into the afternoon increasing cloud coming in from the
:10:56. > :10:59.west. The winds will pick up overnight, and with more cloud
:11:00. > :10:59.moving in. Here is the outlook staying
:11:00. > :11:04.good for us. Mild by the time we reach Christmas Day.
:11:05. > :11:09.Hello there, there is wet and very windy weather on the way in the
:11:10. > :11:14.run-up to Christmas. The worst of the weather to the northern half of
:11:15. > :11:18.the UK. We have a strengthening jet out of North America that is
