:07:59. > :08:10.On the face of it the airshow appears to have been a total success
:08:11. > :08:14.with up to 200,000 people attending the free event over the weekend. But
:08:15. > :08:18.today the organisers said they have failed to break even though this
:08:19. > :08:26.could be the last airshow for the town. We are hoping to get together
:08:27. > :08:29.at the weekend as direct as and by that time I should have been able to
:08:30. > :08:33.have a look through the figures that at the moment we are not making any
:08:34. > :08:39.plans for arranging a date for next year. When Eastbourne introduced an
:08:40. > :08:44.entry charge in 2008, spect`tors entry charge in 2008, spectators
:08:45. > :08:45.stayed away. But as the clean`up continues at Folkestone, residents
:08:46. > :08:52.say that the airshow is vit`l to the say that the airshow is vital to the
:08:53. > :08:55.local economy. Having something like the airshow does bring people into
:08:56. > :08:58.the town and I would imagind that the town and I would imagine that
:08:59. > :09:07.traders are keen to have it continue next year. It would be a sh`me for
:09:08. > :09:11.Folkestone as a town. It brhngs a boost to the local economy. The
:09:12. > :09:17.shortfall is being put down to a lack of sales of programmes and
:09:18. > :09:19.parking. But one pressure group says it is such a good advertiselent for
:09:20. > :09:26.Folkestone that a solution must be Folkestone that a solution lust be
:09:27. > :09:33.found. My council would be that they keep quiet about their costs and do
:09:34. > :09:37.a proper debrief with local authorities and businesses who are
:09:38. > :09:40.keen to see this happen and are very pleased with how it all went off.
:09:41. > :09:45.The organisers of the airshow say they are still calculating the total
:09:46. > :09:46.losses and will make a final decision about the future of the
:09:47. > :09:52.airshow this weekend. The families of residents who died
:09:53. > :09:56.at a Sussex care home have called for a public inquiry and a complete

:10:46. > :10:51.house was hit and she and her sister house was hit and she and her sister
:10:52. > :10:56.were pulled out. But she did not survive the lack of care. There is
:10:57. > :11:00.something badly wrong. The inquest something badly wrong. The hnquest
:11:01. > :11:04.heard how residents were repeatedly given the wrong medication. They
:11:05. > :11:09.were not able to reach their call bells and sometimes Sellotape was
:11:10. > :11:13.used to secure dressings. The review today suggested that strategies to
:11:14. > :11:16.put in place to avoid similar failings at nursing homes in the
:11:17. > :11:24.future but some fear it will only have the effect at a local level. We
