Hello and welcome to the Look East late news. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
In the programme tonight, a council in Essex goes | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
to the High Court to try to stop an illegal travellers' settlement | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
Will patients suffer as ambulance response times for the most serious | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
And up for sale: memorabilia which once belonged to one | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
The leader of Basildon Council says they'll spend whatever it takes | :00:24. | :00:42. | |
Six years ago it cost Basildon Council millions of pounds | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
to evict people from parts of Dale Farm, which was the biggest | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
The new battle focusses on Hovefields, less than two | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
Today the council went to the High Court to stop | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
history repeating itself, but the hearing was adjourned | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
In a moment, Alex Dunlop revisits the eviction of Dale Farm. | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
But first Robby West and the legal fight over Hovefields. | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
Today, building work continues on green belt land. | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
Basildon Council has already secured an injunction, | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
It started last month, when residents of Hovefield Avenue | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
noticed multiple lorries filled with hard-core, travelling | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
Since then, more tarmac has been laid, and more mobile | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
Work has continued over the last three or four weeks. | :01:36. | :01:44. | |
Residents fear this situation will turn into another Dale farm. | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
To stop that, the council have taken a different approach. | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
With Dale Farm, it was about civil proceedings. | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
That's because they owned the land, no injunctions were breached. | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
On this one, we've had injunctions down for a number of months now, | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
Earlier today, the council were at the High Court for a hearing | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
The judge adjourned the case until next Tuesday | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
Back at Hovefields, residents are pleased the council | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
It matters not that they're travellers. | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
It is just an individual, or a group of people, | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
We've made repeated attempts to talk to the people living on the site. | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
Unfortunately, they did not want to speak to us on camera. | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
In the past, they have said they don't feel there's enough | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
provision for the traveller community to live in the area. | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
Nobody that's involved wants this to turn into a second Dale Farm. | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
When the case returns to the High Court, it's hoped | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
answers on how to avoid that happening will become clearer. | :02:50. | :02:58. | |
That legal battle lasted several years and cost | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
Six years ago, Alex Dunlop was inside Dale Farm when police | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
It was a chaotic climax to a decade of illegal occupation | :03:09. | :03:17. | |
They're just coming through the barrier now, | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
they're having bricks thrown at them. | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
As police piled into Dale Farm to clear the site, local residents | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
Local travellers wondered where they would next | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
A once semipermanent conurbation of 80 homes has now | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
Dale Farm, to the right of the existing legal side, | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
But the court battles and eviction cost Basildon Council | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
And so, two years on, the government reinforced the law. | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
Travellers' sites on the green belt, it says, | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
And that the need for a traveller site should be done only | :03:58. | :04:06. | |
through the plan making process, and not in response | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
Those who work with travellers say there simply aren't | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
enough authorised sites, that they're being forced | :04:13. | :04:13. | |
People have to exist, and they have to have a place to live. | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
They can buy their own property, they can put | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
But sometimes, that takes years to go through. | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
And in the meantime, 99.9% of gypsy and traveller | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
One of the landowners at Hovefields has already launched an appeal | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
against the local authority, which won't be heard | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
This has the early signs of a long legal fight which, like Dale Farm, | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
The East of England Ambulance Service should be able to meet more | :04:40. | :04:47. | |
of its emergency response targets, because the target | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
It means fewer people having a heart attack or stroke can expect | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
an emergency ambulance within eight minutes. | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
Our Health reporter Nikki Fox sent this from the Longwater Ambulance | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
For a number of years now, this Ambulance Service has struggled | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
And that's because it covers such a rural area, | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
and has also seen a big rise in demand. | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
I went out with the crew a couple of months ago, | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
and the calls literally came back to back. | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
In 2014, it was fined more than ?1 million for missing targets. | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
Now, since then things have improved, but not enough to meet | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
And that is to get to 75% of the most serious call-outs | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
Now, that's now been relaxed to 68.5%. | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
This has all been done quite quietly, but the trust says | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
We publish it in our board reports, the targets are in there. | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
And again, as we move into the New Year, it's not a lower | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
target, it's nobody nationally is achieving those standards | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
What we are doing this year, what are commissioners expect of us | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
and have funded us to do, is to deliver an average, | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
or above average, position nationally. | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
Those in favour say relaxing the target is a reasonable thing | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
to do, bearing in mind no one is meeting it nationally. | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
But those against say by effectively moving the goalposts, | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
it could make the Ambulance Service look better without things really | :06:22. | :06:33. | |
A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following a hit | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
Three people were injured in the incident, which happened | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
early on Sunday morning outside the SugarHut nighclub in Brentwood. | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
A woman has also been arrested on suspicion | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
Stansted Airport has been given planning permission | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
for a new arrivals building costing ?130 million. | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
It will be built next to the current terminal and include shops, | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
better transport links and a bigger immigration area. | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
Work could begin this summer and bosses say disruption | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
Football now, and Norwich City's fading play-offs hopes took | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
The Canaries were beaten 3-0 at Huddersfield, | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
all the goals coming in the second half as Huddersfield | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
It leaves the Canaries a nine points short of a play off place with just | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
Mathematically possible, but highly improbable. | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
In cricket, the former England captain Alastair Cook says he hopes | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
to play more matches for Essex this season. | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
Cook, who's 32, resigned as England's Test captain | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
in February, but as newly promoted Essex faced the cameras today | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
ahead of the new season, he said he wants to be involved | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
I love playing for England, and it's a huge honour walking out | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
in front of lots of people at Lord's or, you know, wherever. | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
A collection belonging to one of the 20th century's greatest | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
composers will go under the hammer in Norfolk tomorrow. | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
The Malcolm Arnold Collection, which includes film scores, | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
his trumpet, and his two Ivor Novello Awards, | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
is attracting interest from all over the world. | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
Sir Malcolm Arnold was a creative genius who wrote nine symphonies | :08:14. | :08:22. | |
But he was also an alcoholic who had a turbulent private life. | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
He was cared for in his later years by a man called Anthony Day, | :08:30. | :08:39. | |
and it's his collection which will go on sale | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
Among the items up for auction, the score to Malcolm | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
Original scores do not turn up very often. | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
Particularly from notable composers like Sir Malcolm Arnold. | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
An opportunity to get something that no one else has got, and, you know, | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
If one had came across an autographed letter | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
by Charles Dickens, how wonderful to have. | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
Born in north London in 1921, Mark Arnold grew up in a well-to-do | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
family of shoemakers and went on to win an Oscar for | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
the soundtrack to David Lee's film Bridge Over the River Kwai. | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
He played this instrument, which is in the sale. | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
This composer and conductor knew the great man well | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
Remarkable in its way, because everything | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
He would what we call composing, seeing him write, was actually | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
just him taking down from dictation what he'd already | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
Also in the sale is Malcolm Arnold's trumpet, | :09:42. | :09:50. | |
two Ivor Novello awards and numerous paintings. | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
The auctioneers are hoping for interest from collectors | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
That's it, we're back in breakfast tomorrow from 6:30am, | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
but I'll say goodnight and leave you with the weather with Alex. | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
Thank you very much. Good evening. Some clear spells at the moment, so | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
temperatures down to around two or three Celsius, the risk of a touch | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
of frost. Through the night, more cloud comes in from the North, said | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
the temperatures recover by the end of the night. A fairly settled | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
period of weather over the next few days. I pressure continues to build | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
in from the south-west. You would think some fine conditions, but with | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
a northerly wind, more cloud comes in through the day. | :10:38. | :10:51. | |
For Thursday and Friday, it looks like a cloudy picture. There should | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
be some bright and sunny spells through the day. Temperatures held | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
back with a northerly winds and cloud cover. So perhaps no higher | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
than 13 or 14. Here is the outlook before the national weather. Friday | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
still rather cloudy at times, with brighter spells. | :11:03. | :11:02. | |
or 15. It is sunny towards the weekend and we could see the low 20s | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
by Sunday. Here is Darren with the national weather. | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
Hello. The weather has been a big news in North America across the | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
Masters in Augusta, for the first time the par-3 competition was | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
abandoned, the storms moving away and sunshine windy for a while. | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
Temperatures about 17, which is on a par with what we had today in the | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
south-east of Wales, blue skies around here. That's from one of our | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
weather watchers. More sunshine over the next few days. Little or no rain | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
once again, | :11:37. | :11:38. |
