:03:27. > :03:29.the new scheme, known as the "community trigger" - which the
:03:29. > :03:37.coalition government sees as a potential replacement for anti-
:03:37. > :03:41.social behaviour orders, or ASBOs. When noisy neighbours kept this
:03:41. > :03:46.woman awake at night for months on end, her Brighton house no longer

:03:51. > :03:54.don't sleep correctly, and it is cold out there. I took two or three
:03:54. > :03:58.hot-water bottles, and this went on through the winter. I was thinking,
:03:58. > :04:01.why is this happening? Under the new pilot scheme, it more than five
:04:01. > :04:06.people complain about a resident or household, the police and council
:04:06. > :04:10.will be forced to act. It is called the Community Trigger and Sussex
:04:10. > :04:13.police say it will help thousands of people at their wits end because
:04:13. > :04:17.of nuisance neighbours. We are not saying we will wait until we get
:04:17. > :04:20.five but it gives us another pointer which we can check and for
:04:20. > :04:24.the community to challenge us and asked what we are doing about
:04:24. > :04:27.problems. They are a help because they give people the feeling they
:04:27. > :04:32.are in control. The community trigger means that the number of
:04:32. > :04:36.people say this is a problem household it puts a legal duty on
:04:36. > :04:40.the council to act. Brighton and Hove has some of the biggest anti-
:04:40. > :04:45.social behaviour problems in the south-east. Amongst them, 80-year-
:04:45. > :04:50.old Edna was given an ASBO for racist and homophobic behaviour.
:04:50. > :04:53.This man got a 12 the ASBO for harassment. And this man became the
:04:53. > :04:58.first bedded to get one in the City for the anti-social clampdown, but
:04:58. > :05:01.not everyone thinks the scheme will stop such people. The likelihood is
:05:01. > :05:06.that the council will already know what the problem households and
:05:06. > :05:08.neighbours because they are already been told. So it isn't a lack of
:05:08. > :05:12.information about your other problems, it's the fact they are
:05:12. > :05:16.not doing enough to fix the problems. And even jury, who now
:05:16. > :05:22.has some peace and said neighbours moved away, thinks the community
:05:22. > :05:28.Trigger will fail to reach the target. There has to be instant
:05:28. > :05:31.consequences, and that is the way to hit them, through their pockets.
:05:31. > :05:35.Brighton is one of a handful of cities to pilot the scheme which
:05:35. > :05:38.will start next month. Ellie Price reporting and she joins us now
:05:38. > :05:40.overlooking the Whitehawk Estate in Brighton. Ellie, tackling
:05:40. > :05:48.antisocial behaviour is a really difficult issue for the politicians
:05:48. > :05:52.to get right, isn't it? Yes, that's right. As bows were deeply
:05:52. > :05:56.unpopular when they were introduced in 1998 -- as bows. This is part of
:05:56. > :05:59.the coalition government scheme to give power back to the people and
:05:59. > :06:03.make the police and council more accountable. You can seek a lovely
:06:03. > :06:08.view of the estate behind me, and it has had its share of anti-social
:06:08. > :06:12.behaviour problems. The scheme here is now designed to make people feel
:06:12. > :06:15.like they are being listened to if they report the problem, but as we
:06:15. > :06:19.heard in the report, that woman thinks it does not go to the centre
:06:19. > :06:29.of the problem and there are plenty of people likely to criticise the
:06:29. > :06:34.
:06:34. > :06:37.scheme when it is launched next month. Conservationists along the
:06:37. > :06:41.River Ouse in Sussex are calling for action over what they say is a
:06:41. > :06:44.water leak that has been going on for some 30 years. It's been
:06:44. > :06:47.leaking so long it's formed a stream and wetland area in the
:06:47. > :06:50.Ashdown Forest. South East Water says they are doing their best to
:06:50. > :06:53.fix it. It's only one leak among many, which lead to the loss of
:06:53. > :06:55.millions of litres of drinking water every day. Our environment
:06:55. > :06:57.correspondent Yvette Austin reports. If pouring out into the forest,
:06:57. > :07:00.water which the locals believe his drinking water leaking out of the
:07:00. > :07:07.nearby reservoir, and it has been flowing for some time. To my
:07:07. > :07:12.certain knowledge, this has been running since about 1985 at least
:07:12. > :07:17.when it was first reported. I have reported it five or six times since.
:07:17. > :07:21.In this time of drought, this is absolutely unacceptable. South East
:07:21. > :07:24.Water admits there is a leak which it has been working on an has
:07:24. > :07:29.partially repaired. It says the water flowing out now will be
:07:29. > :07:32.mainly surface water flowing through. The council wants to
:07:32. > :07:38.tested. All five water companies have a problem with leaks. Together
:07:38. > :07:43.they lose 887 million litres of water a day. Enough to fill more
:07:43. > :07:47.than 350 Olympic-sized swimming pools or supply nearly 2.5 million
:07:47. > :07:54.households. Back home, basic tests on the water reveal interesting
:07:54. > :07:58.results. We have tested for total Clowry -- chlorine, and the result
:07:58. > :08:02.is the same as out of my kitchen tap, whereas I have compared it
:08:02. > :08:06.with rainwater which is very much less. This suggests to me that what
:08:06. > :08:10.is coming out of the pipe is very much not from the surrounding
:08:10. > :08:14.environment. South East Water said it is only a small leak from the
:08:14. > :08:19.reservoir that is currently a dribble and on the whole they spend
:08:19. > :08:22.�30 million be on fixing leaks. During the period of drought we are
:08:22. > :08:26.putting extra resources into do more with leakage. It is always a
:08:26. > :08:30.sensitive issue when we are asking for customers to use the water
:08:30. > :08:36.wisely. Leakage is a problem, but I can assure you we are doing all we
:08:36. > :08:40.can and more to stop the leaks. the water companies, except
:08:40. > :08:44.Southern Water met their targets last year but Southon says they
:08:44. > :08:48.will meet it this year. That was Yvette Austin reporting, and she
:08:48. > :08:51.joins us now from Barcombe Mills on the River Ouse, a river we are
:08:51. > :08:54.monitoring during the period of drought. We've had a lot of rain in
:08:54. > :09:00.the last few days. Has that made any difference to the drought
:09:00. > :09:03.situation? You are right in saying that we have had rain, and the
:09:03. > :09:09.figures for April show an above average level of rainfall. When I
:09:09. > :09:13.was here few weeks ago at the end of the dry spell you can see there
:09:13. > :09:19.is definitely more water throwing- in, but it is not significant. It
:09:19. > :09:23.would not have made any difference to the ground water levels either.
:09:23. > :09:27.The soil is so dry that very little of the water is seeping into the
:09:27. > :09:32.water table so we are really preparing ourselves to see a very
:09:32. > :09:37.harmful summer for both the river wildlife as well as the people who
:09:37. > :09:41.rely on the rivers. So the message is that we still have to be careful
:09:42. > :09:45.with water, and the water companies are still saying they need a wet
:09:45. > :09:55.autumn and a wet winter if they are going to avoid restrictions next

:10:45. > :10:48.story tonight: The family of a woman who had to sell her house to
:10:48. > :10:51.pay for care home fees has won a legal battle for compensation and
:10:51. > :10:54.are urging other families to claim back thousands of pounds. When Edna
:10:54. > :10:58.Witt went into care following the death of her husband, her family
:10:58. > :11:00.was forced to sell her Saltdean home to pay the bills. Now, after a
:11:00. > :11:03.four year battle, the Primary Care Trust has admitted her care
:11:03. > :11:05.shouldn't have been privately funded and has agreed to pay
:11:05. > :11:08.compensation. Jon Hunt reports. Julie Burton was upset to see her
:11:08. > :11:12.mother's health deteriorate through dementia. She were suffering from
:11:12. > :11:17.paranoia, aggression. She would escape out of the front door of our
:11:17. > :11:24.house down the road. She would scream out of the windows that we
:11:24. > :11:28.were keeping her captive. Ed No was taking into a home in 2005 and
:11:28. > :11:33.needed complex care, but her family was told they would have to pay, so
:11:33. > :11:37.her home of 40 years was sold. But after a two-and-a-half-year fight
:11:37. > :11:44.and constant knock backs, the NHS admitted that they judge the case
:11:44. > :11:48.wrongly. Father worked hard all his life to buy his house, pay off his
:11:48. > :11:57.mortgage. He worked for the health service himself for 20 years,
:11:58. > :12:02.saving lives. And this is how and my mother have been repaid. The NHS
:12:02. > :12:05.is now paying for the care he in Eastbourne because they now accept
:12:05. > :12:10.that her condition meets the eligibility criteria for continuing
:12:10. > :12:14.care. They have paid back the family more than �100,000. There
:12:14. > :12:20.are more than 4,000 people receiving continuing care in the
:12:20. > :12:24.south-east, which is paid for by the NHS. That figure has risen 83%
:12:24. > :12:28.since 2009, but it is estimated that 23,000 people are still forced
:12:28. > :12:33.to sell their homes to pay for their care each year. It is feared
:12:33. > :12:37.that other people in Etna's position will not be as lucky in
:12:38. > :12:43.the future because the NHS has said -- set a deadline for September of
:12:43. > :12:52.this year for retrospective cases to be large. That was news to some
:12:52. > :12:57.people. Colleagues no information for the clinical network cases, so
:12:57. > :13:00.we were shocked to hear it and had been shot that there was no
:13:00. > :13:05.information for people to challenge this when they have not had
:13:05. > :13:15.continuing care. The NHS say they agreed last year to commit to

:15:19. > :15:24.Oddly enough, this is not the first time that the Houses of Parliament
:15:24. > :15:30.have been set floating on the Goudhurst village pond. The first

:15:47. > :15:51.celebrations. So on how with a fleet of wooden boats created by

:16:25. > :16:29.Charles Dickens is unquestionably one of the greatest writers and

:16:32. > :16:42.hide his private life and his extraordinary treatment of his wife
:16:42. > :16:45.Catherine. She bore him 10 children in 16 years, but he cut her out of
:16:45. > :16:48.his life, and encouraged their children not to visit her. Now what
:16:48. > :16:56.is believed to be the only photo of Catherine Dickens has surfaced in
:16:57. > :17:00.Canterbury, and is up for auction. She was a key character in the
:17:00. > :17:04.story of Charles Dickens's life, but the secret of his marriage to
:17:04. > :17:09.Catherine was left out of the public eye. But now a rare images
:17:09. > :17:13.putting her centre-stage. It is essentially a unique photograph.
:17:13. > :17:17.The image will have been made on a metal plate that has been coated
:17:17. > :17:21.with silver that is very highly polished. You can see if you look
:17:21. > :17:27.at it the surface of the image is very shiny, almost like a mirror
:17:27. > :17:30.and you have to look carefully to see the image. Mark Dickens has
:17:30. > :17:33.seen very few pictures of his grandmother. There were a few
:17:33. > :17:38.photograph of Charles Dickens, which is not surprising considering
:17:38. > :17:42.how famous he was at the time. for other members of the family, we
:17:42. > :17:47.are staggered by the amount of money that people think they are
:17:47. > :17:51.worth. This sombre image is expected to make up to �12,000 at
:17:51. > :17:55.auction next month. At the time it was taken in 1852, Catherine was in
:17:55. > :18:01.her late thirties and had spent half her married life pregnant.
:18:01. > :18:05.That is nearly 3,000 days. They had lots of children, she put on weight
:18:05. > :18:10.and was very domestic. And I think part of the problem is that she is
:18:10. > :18:16.ceasing to be as jolly a companion. Inevitably the jolly companion he
:18:16. > :18:20.wanted. By 1858, after two decades of marriage, Charles was estranged
:18:20. > :18:24.from his wife and he became infatuated with Alan Thurnham, an
:18:24. > :18:30.18-year-old actress. Catherine was cut off from her husband and
:18:30. > :18:33.children and was married by name only -- Ellen Thurnham. On her
:18:33. > :18:36.deathbed in 1889 she left all the letter she received from Charles to
:18:36. > :18:46.the British Museum so that the world may know that he wants love

:18:58. > :19:00.Neil, I gather the Gills programme notes for tomorrow's visit of old
:19:00. > :19:08.rivals Swindon contain some interesting comments from the
:19:08. > :19:10.chairman. Mr Scally has much to say on a variety of subjects. He's
:19:10. > :19:14.highly critical of Medway council whose prohibition order, at least
:19:14. > :19:17.for a while, meant the game might be played behind closed doors. But
:19:17. > :19:19.more interesting still for many supporters will be the inclusion of
:19:19. > :19:22.the first artist's impressions of the clubs proposed new stadium
:19:22. > :19:25.development at Mill Hill. Mr Scally confirms in his notes that he has
:19:25. > :19:28.had a positive response from retailers and developers. Charlton
:19:28. > :19:30.Athletic can win the League One title on Saturday at the Valley

:19:45. > :19:49.United tomorrow they cannot be Now all we want the championship,
:19:49. > :19:55.so it is up to us to go out and do it. But we can go out there and be
:19:55. > :19:59.quite free in how we play and really express ourselves and really
:19:59. > :20:02.show our supporters exactly what it means to us. Brighton and Hove
:20:02. > :20:05.Albion play their final home game of the season tomorrow when they
:20:05. > :20:08.take on Birmingham at the Amex. The Seagulls' midweek draw means they
:20:08. > :20:13.can't win promotion but supporters will be hoping they can at least
:20:13. > :20:16.finish the campaign on a high. Crawley Town will be keen to
:20:16. > :20:19.consolidate their position in the top three of League Two with
:20:19. > :20:23.victory at Dagenham and Redbridge. In midweek, they cruised to their
:20:23. > :20:30.first win since Steve Evans's departure. And caretaker boss Craig
:20:30. > :20:33.Brewster is unlikely to make many changes. Not a great date in
:20:33. > :20:35.cricket. Kent's cricketers have struggled on the second day of
:20:35. > :20:45.their Championship match with Gloucestershire at Canterbury. In
:20:45. > :20:49.between the showers, Gloucestershire eventually made 255.
:20:49. > :20:53.Four wickets each for Coles and Davies but Kent are 119-6 in reply.
:20:53. > :20:58.And the best of luck to hour runners in the marathon today. Take

:21:03. > :21:06.advice is to start slowly and then slowed down. Sir Peter Blake, one
:21:06. > :21:10.of Britain's most famous artists has created a new piece of art to
:21:10. > :21:14.mark his 80th birthday. Born in Dartford, Sir Peter studied at
:21:14. > :21:18.Gravesend School of Art. In 2002, he was given a knighthood for his
:21:18. > :21:23.services to art. Earlier this year, he unveiled his newly designed Brit
:21:23. > :21:26.Award. One of his most famous works is the now iconic image that he
:21:26. > :21:29.created for The Beatles' Sgt Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band album. To
:21:29. > :21:32.celebrate his birthday the artist has updated his image. Charlie Rose
:21:32. > :21:34.spoke to him at a special exhibition of his work at the Royal
:21:34. > :21:39.Academy in London. Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is
:21:39. > :21:42.one of the most recognisable album covers of all time. Now more than
:21:42. > :21:48.four decades later, its creator, Sir Peter Blake has given it a
:21:48. > :21:52.revamp. I have been involved with the festival for the last three
:21:52. > :21:56.years, and Wayne Hemingway ate runs it, and it occurred to him this
:21:56. > :22:06.year that I would be 80 years old and that Sergeant Pepper would be
:22:06. > :22:11.45, so he wanted to combine a kind of tribute of me remaking the image.
:22:11. > :22:15.Day-in, day-out, at 80 years old he is coming out with new staff and is
:22:15. > :22:20.a fantastic example. The award winning image contained a host of
:22:20. > :22:24.famous faces, like Laurel and Hardy, Diana Dors, and writer Edgar Allan
:22:24. > :22:28.Poe. But the remake is more of a personal project featuring friends
:22:28. > :22:35.and other people he admires, including fellow artist Tracey
:22:35. > :22:38.Henin, guitar legend Eric Clapton and musician Noel Gallagher. To be
:22:38. > :22:42.on their with Vivienne Westwood, Mick Jagger, Paul Weller, that is
:22:43. > :22:47.amazing. I wouldn't put myself up there with any of those. This is
:22:47. > :22:52.Sir Peter Blake's latest collection. He is, of course, famous for his
:22:52. > :22:55.college work but his most well known piece will always be that
:22:55. > :23:01.Beatles album cover. The Juno at the time you were creating such a
:23:01. > :23:06.cultural M Le -- de Juno? I don't think you do when you are doing it.
:23:06. > :23:10.You're just doing the job. For a fortnight you are working very hard
:23:10. > :23:14.and trying to solve problems. I certainly couldn't have known that
:23:14. > :23:18.45 years later he would still be something we are talking about.
:23:18. > :23:22.also could not have known that Dartford, the town where he grew up,
:23:22. > :23:29.would become a hotbed of cultural activity. Mick Jagger lived about
:23:29. > :23:34.50 yards away round the corner. And Keith Richards lived over the shops
:23:34. > :23:37.opposite the butcher's where I did a Saturday job. Two more in a long
:23:37. > :23:47.list of people Sir Peter admires. There would need to be another
:23:47. > :23:48.
:23:48. > :23:55.Surprise, surprise, more rain on the way. Michael easier with the
:23:55. > :23:59.As you are well aware, there has been a lot of rain in the last week
:23:59. > :24:02.or two. Compared to last month where we have only had half of the
:24:03. > :24:06.average, this time places have had their average and there is only 10
:24:06. > :24:10.days to go. As Polly just said, it is more of the same over the
:24:10. > :24:14.weekend, sunshine and showers and some quite heavy. It is all due to
:24:14. > :24:18.the low pressure that has been hanging around, and it is not
:24:18. > :24:22.moving fast in the next few days. The showers will continue as they
:24:22. > :24:27.have but there is a bit of a change on the way and lurking behind be is
:24:27. > :24:31.another weather system which will be whistling in bringing wet and
:24:31. > :24:39.windy weather. We had some vicious showers today, some around East
:24:39. > :24:42.Kent knocked a boat out as it hit a boat near Ramsgate. The southern
:24:42. > :24:46.areas will escape the worst but the southernmost parts will have the
:24:46. > :24:50.most showers during the course of the night, whereas other areas are
:24:50. > :24:55.fine and dry with mist and fog patches. The low temperature is
:24:55. > :24:58.around four degrees. There will still be showers around the south
:24:58. > :25:02.coast even in the morning and what will happen, as has happened in the
:25:02. > :25:06.last few days, yet again, after a dry start and perhaps some missed,
:25:06. > :25:10.the cloud will bubble up and showers or break out and we could
:25:10. > :25:15.have quite heavy showers with some mixed in. In terms of temperatures,
:25:15. > :25:19.not a brilliant, about 10 or 11, slightly below average for the time
:25:19. > :25:23.of year. Tomorrow evening, the showers will largely fade to give a
:25:23. > :25:27.fine at night with mist and fog patches. But like this evening,
:25:27. > :25:32.near the south coast, that is where the shares will continue right
:25:32. > :25:36.through the night. As for tomorrow if you are heading off to the
:25:36. > :25:39.marathon, a temperature around 14 degrees, welcome showers for the
:25:39. > :25:42.runners but not good news for the spectators. And as we saw at the
:25:42. > :25:50.beginning, the weather will continue like this for the
:25:50. > :25:53.Before we go, if you have a spare few minutes this weekend, why not
:25:53. > :25:56.grab a camera? They can be colour or black and white, recent or from
:25:56. > :26:02.years ago. Very soon we'll be deciding the picture of the Queen
:26:02. > :26:05.your photos will recreate. When it is completed it will be hung in the
:26:05. > :26:09.Gallery in Eastbourne. Don't send a picture to our regular e-mail
:26:09. > :26:13.address. Go to bbc.co.uk/kent, Sussex or Surrey to find out how
:26:13. > :26:17.you can become part of the bigger picture. You can also send more
