:00:53. > :01:11.Sussex on his two nominations. Good evening. Plans to expand the
:01:12. > :01:15.world's largest offshore wind farm off the north Kent coast have been
:01:16. > :01:17.scrapped. The proposals for the London Array project have bden
:01:18. > :01:19.abandoned amid concerns abott the time it would take to assess the
:01:20. > :01:28.impact on birdlife. But tonight, the energy giant EDF
:01:29. > :01:31.says it expects to be able to extend the life of the Dungeness B nuclear
:01:32. > :01:35.power station until 2028, tdn years longer than expected. In a loment,
:01:36. > :01:38.we'll cross live to our Envhronment Correspondent Yvette Austin in
:01:39. > :01:41.Dungeness. But first, Simon Jones reports from Ramsgate on thd
:01:42. > :01:54.collapse of the London Arrax plans, which could cost jobs in Kent. The
:01:55. > :01:58.only one of its kind will not be getting bigger because of bhrds
:01:59. > :02:05.It's disappointing, but it hs down to technical and wildlife issues.
:02:06. > :02:12.The Prime Minister, opening phase one, said the project was great news
:02:13. > :02:15.for Kent and Britain. It has meant jobs for local people and clean
:02:16. > :02:20.green energy for half the homes in the country. This is what the
:02:21. > :02:26.completed project would havd looked like. Phase one currently elploys
:02:27. > :02:32.around 100 people, and they are said to be secure. It has 175 turbines,
:02:33. > :02:38.enough for two thirds of thd home in Kent. Two thirds would have seen 80
:02:39. > :02:42.more, but there would have been associated jobs. London Arr`y is
:02:43. > :02:49.based at Ramsgate, and the turbines are 12 miles out to sea. Those
:02:50. > :02:54.behind it say that in order to proceed they would have do carry out
:02:55. > :02:57.an assessment on the impact on 000 birds known as red throated divers,
:02:58. > :03:04.and that could take up to three years. The developers have looked at
:03:05. > :03:14.ways to come to the right ddcision, which is the on the environlent In
:03:15. > :03:18.Ramsgate, there is debate on the merits of jobs against birds. The
:03:19. > :03:22.only thing that can bring in plenty of jobs has got to be considered a
:03:23. > :03:28.good thing, but the balance has to be found. I love the birds, and
:03:29. > :03:32.there aren't so many birds `s they used to be. Experts say that the
:03:33. > :03:37.consumer could win with less subsidy needed for wind farms. Investors are
:03:38. > :03:42.starting to realise that thd consumers pockets are not offer must
:03:43. > :03:46.and they will have two size their developments to fit what thd
:03:47. > :03:56.consumer can afford. That the government insists the night it
:03:57. > :03:59.remains committed to wind power The announcement has come as a blow to
:04:00. > :04:03.supporters of renewable energy. But there's been a boost for thd nuclear
:04:04. > :04:06.industry today. Yvette Austhn's live in Dungeness. And Yvette, Dtngeness
:04:07. > :04:12.B power station is set to stay open for ten years longer than planned.
:04:13. > :04:19.Yes, you can see the major giant behind me, the cube shaped
:04:20. > :04:22.structures on the left, that is the first Dungeness power station which
:04:23. > :04:26.is being decommissioned, and the round structure on the right is
:04:27. > :04:30.Dungeness B, built in the 1880s and that is the one EDF energy wants to
:04:31. > :04:38.extend the life of the rele`sed another ten years, pushing tp its
:04:39. > :04:41.years in service to 45. Domhnating the Dungeness skyline, nucldar power
:04:42. > :04:47.has been generated here since the 1960s with Dungeness being
:04:48. > :04:51.commissioned, it is Dungeness B that is feeding the grid. Its closure
:04:52. > :04:58.date of 2018 is fast approaching, but the plan now is to keep it going
:04:59. > :05:01.longer. This is really good news. It safeguards the thousands of jobs
:05:02. > :05:05.linked to Dungeness B power station, which is very important for the
:05:06. > :05:10.economy. It also gives us more time to secure a longer`term nuclear
:05:11. > :05:15.future for Dungeness by bringing new generator plants to the sidd for the
:05:16. > :05:19.future. Keeping Dungeness B open will help build the energy gap
:05:20. > :05:24.through the next decade which the National Grid in particular has been
:05:25. > :05:28.so concerned about. EDF's l`nd new nuclear plant at Hinkley pohnt is
:05:29. > :05:33.expected to take a decade to build, so retiring this one when the new
:05:34. > :05:35.one is online might be such a blow. The Southeast has seen a huge
:05:36. > :05:41.reduction in its generating potential. The closure of the
:05:42. > :05:49.Kingsnorth plant last year helped that. And Dungeness began bding
:05:50. > :05:53.decommissioned in 2006. But while plugging the gap with nucle`r might
:05:54. > :05:57.be good for now, many argue it is not the way forward in the long
:05:58. > :06:02.term. The real thing is the competition between renewables,
:06:03. > :06:10.nuclear, and carbon in the 20 2 s. We think renewables will have a
:06:11. > :06:12.strong case for that market in 020. But there is much support to keep
:06:13. > :06:18.Dungeness B open amongst residents nearby. It's a brilliant idda,
:06:19. > :06:23.because renewables don't nedd much at all, so nuclear power is the way
:06:24. > :06:28.forward. Good news. Not a lot of employment in the area. The life
:06:29. > :06:32.extension is not guaranteed yet A final announcement will comd before
:06:33. > :06:39.the end of the year. So what has to happen now before the life span of
:06:40. > :06:42.Dungeness B is extended? Various approvals will be necessary,
:06:43. > :06:45.particularly when it comes to safety, but EDF is certain ht will
:06:46. > :06:48.be able to make an announcelent by the end of the year and it `ll goes
:06:49. > :06:55.hand`in`hand with the government stance on nuclear. That is that it
:06:56. > :06:59.is a clean, green, low carbon form of energy. And Michael Fallon has
:07:00. > :07:03.said it is much better having this and having many thousands of wind
:07:04. > :07:08.turbines blighting our landscape. When he was saying that, he was
:07:09. > :07:11.talking about onshore turbines, not the ones at sea, and he may have
:07:12. > :07:17.been thinking about the Romney Marsh wind farm. What about the ilpact on
:07:18. > :07:25.bills? Will they have any effect there? Inevitably various rdasons
:07:26. > :07:29.will mean that our bills will rise in the future. There are various
:07:30. > :07:35.uncertainties, like gas prices in the future, like how fast the cost
:07:36. > :07:39.of building wind turbines comes down, but analysts have said that
:07:40. > :07:46.building the new Hinkley pohnt nuclear power station alone could
:07:47. > :07:49.push our annual bills up by ?8. That is a lot, but the government says
:07:50. > :07:55.it's not as much as if we wdre building wind farms like thd ones in
:07:56. > :07:59.London Array, out at sea, which are high in cost and difficult to build.

:08:12. > :08:15.There's increasing pressure on the leader of Britain's only Grden`run
:08:16. > :08:17.local authority tonight, ahdad of a crucial vote on whether to raise
:08:18. > :08:23.council tax. Brighton and Hove City Council
:08:24. > :08:27.leader Jason Kitcat wants a 4.7 %, which would trigger a referdndum.
:08:28. > :08:34.But BBC South East has learnt the plan will be blocked by Conservative
:08:35. > :08:37.and Labour members. And in ` further blow to Councillor Kitcat's
:08:38. > :08:40.authority, his own party is now looking at changing the way their
:08:41. > :08:42.leader is chosen, which could prevent his re`election. Our
:08:43. > :08:49.Political Editor Louise Stewart has this exclusive report.
:08:50. > :08:54.Council tax pays for everything from housing to schools and bin
:08:55. > :08:58.collections but has been frozen for the last two years. So far
:08:59. > :09:05.brighter's Green party led council is the only want to suggest
:09:06. > :09:09.increasing this above 2% whhch would trigger a referendum, but there is
:09:10. > :09:13.research suggesting it's de`d in the water. All 21 wing party melbers are
:09:14. > :09:17.expected to back the increase, and the next biggest group is the
:09:18. > :09:19.Conservative Party, with all 18 preferring a freeze. On thehr own
:09:20. > :09:24.they cannot defeat the Green party, but the Labour group made up of 14
:09:25. > :09:27.councillors said they would join forces with the Conservativds vote
:09:28. > :09:32.against the rise. That means could not be passed. No one from the Green
:09:33. > :09:39.party would speak on camera but they say an average tax rise of ?4 5 per
:09:40. > :09:43.month per band C property would be preferable to cutting. The
:09:44. > :09:49.opposition thinks it's more about policy than protecting servhces It
:09:50. > :09:54.was done to unite the Green party group, which is why Jason Khtcat
:09:55. > :09:59.came up to the `` with the hdea because he knew of the Green party
:10:00. > :10:03.supported the 2% rise, half of his group might not vote the budget
:10:04. > :10:07.They want to hold a referendum which would cost the taxpayer ?900,00
:10:08. > :10:11.just to get some national hdadlines and look good standing up to the
:10:12. > :10:15.government when, in fact, it went to the city or its residents any good.
:10:16. > :10:20.But there is public support for a referendum. I think we should be
:10:21. > :10:25.given a vote as to what will happen with our city and the money we are
:10:26. > :10:28.spending on council tax. All the residents in Brighton should be
:10:29. > :10:33.allowed to have a say in thdir city as to how the council spend our
:10:34. > :10:37.money. Getting the budget p`ssed might be the least of Jason
:10:38. > :10:43.Kitcat's problems. Last year a group of rebels tried to unseat hhm. This
:10:44. > :10:48.is mid`term and there have been moments of ill discipline which I
:10:49. > :10:50.have been unfortunate to have and it's not put us in the best possible
:10:51. > :10:53.light. Ahead of the crucial budget vote he could be facing another
:10:54. > :10:58.challenge to his leadership. Louise is here in the studio. Is
:10:59. > :11:07.this a crisis? Just how serhous is this for Jason Kitcat? It's not good
:11:08. > :11:11.for him, clearly, because if you heard, the figures don't st`ck up on
:11:12. > :11:14.the Green party side, so if he was trying to make a political point by
:11:15. > :11:26.saying he would take the totgh stance. On another level, there
:11:27. > :11:30.seems to be a faction within the Green party who would like to unseat
:11:31. > :11:36.the leader or at least not re`elect him. Critics say if he can't control
:11:37. > :11:41.his own party members, have any control the council is a hahl `` as

:24:21. > :24:26.only last about three months and then they explode and you go to
:24:27. > :24:31.collect it, and all of your stuff is spread over the carousel. It's

:25:42. > :25:43.That's right, one of our best loved landmarks, created by artist
:25:44. > :25:49.Prudence Staite for National Chip Week. It took her four hours to
:25:50. > :25:53.build and if you look careftlly you'll see that the grass on the top
:25:54. > :26:01.of the cliffs is made from lushy peas. Do you think it took four
:26:02. > :26:06.hours because the chips kept being eaten as she went along? Let's get a
