:02:14. > :02:16.said his job should be scrapped ` calling it too expensive and flawed.

:03:03. > :03:07.Ironically, he was against the concept of Police and Crime
:03:08. > :03:12.Commissioners, wasn't he? He took the view that having commissioners
:03:13. > :03:19.was not a wise move but elections were held. He was one of the very
:03:20. > :03:24.best commissioners. I learned valuable lessons from him. He
:03:25. > :03:29.believed in accountability of the police service and he was good at
:03:30. > :03:35.exercising authority. What is his legacy would you say? A man who made
:03:36. > :03:40.a real difference in 30 years of public life and a man who was Police
:03:41. > :03:45.and Crime Commissioners and stood up for what people want which is
:03:46. > :03:52.neighbourhood policing, safety and security in their homes and in the
:03:53. > :03:56.streets where they live. He will be remembered with great fondness and
:03:57. > :03:58.affection and for a remarkable set of achievements throughout his
:03:59. > :04:06.lifetime in public service. A man has tonight been charged with
:04:07. > :04:09.killing his ex partner and the attempted murder
:04:10. > :04:11.of two children in Birmingham. 42 year old Luan Leigh was found

:04:24. > :04:26.and fines of up to ?3 million. Last year 711,000 cases were
:04:27. > :04:29.dealt with across the country. The estimated cost of clearing
:04:30. > :04:34.up the mess was ?36 million. Bob Hockenhull reports
:04:35. > :04:36.from the Enville estate near Stourbridge where fly`tipping
:04:37. > :04:50.is a weekly occurrence. This country track may seem idyllic
:04:51. > :04:56.on a summers day but this is how it looked a few months ago, completely
:04:57. > :05:04.blocked by contaminated waste led by flight tippers. These gates were
:05:05. > :05:09.smashed and 33 times of pre`sorted material, or contaminated, were
:05:10. > :05:15.dumped here in this beautiful woodland setting. The estate spent
:05:16. > :05:21.?7,000 getting the rubbish cleared up but it is an ongoing battle as
:05:22. > :05:25.rubbish is dumped on a weekly basis. The estate hopes introduction of
:05:26. > :05:31.stricter penalties will deter criminals. Until today the light of
:05:32. > :05:38.us could often expect a fine of just ?200. The sentencing council says
:05:39. > :05:42.that is too lenient. New guidelines mean those caught are far more
:05:43. > :05:49.likely to go to jail or a period of 18 months. Yet more waste discovered
:05:50. > :05:55.on the estate today. The local council is looking for clues as to
:05:56. > :06:00.who dumped it. The good message now is that there are clear guidelines
:06:01. > :06:05.setting out where magistrates should be looking and taking a more serious
:06:06. > :06:11.approach to this blight on the countryside. The authorities stress
