Major expansion plans for Ndwhaven Port have been proposed that could | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
It's hoped it will bring thd town a big economic boost | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
and help secure its cross`channel ferry service to Dieppe. | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
But some residents have gredted the plans with trepidation, because | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
the Port's owners are refushng to reopen the town's beach. | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
This rather delapidated are` of Newhaven's harbour would be | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
transformed by the new expansion plans hnto | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
a multi`purpose quayside, bringing new business to the town and even | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
potentially providing a replacement for the current ferry terminal. | :00:35. | :00:43. | |
New Haven is on its way up `nd the key to that, as always, is `s a | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
port, it has been ticking over but it does need some money spent on it. | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
Now we have good plans to m`ke sure we ground at the future in terms of | :00:57. | :00:57. | |
freight movements. But the proposals are being | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
overshadowed because the Frdnch company who owns the Port | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
and surrounding land refuses to reopen the local beach, which was | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
closed in 2008 on safety grounds. The ensuing legal battle catsed | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
animosity towards the company and today there was | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
a mixed reaction to their plans I think the development thex want to | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
do is very good, but we defhnitely want the beach back, that would be a | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
good thing. If that could hdlp the local community and the unelployment | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
that would be very positive. The town is so opposed to them that I | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
think they are going to havd a bit of a struggle. | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
But one local councillor believes matters shouldn't be confusdd. | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
Newhaven Port and Properties won't comment on reopening the be`ch | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
until a decision is made in the Supreme Court in Novdmber. | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
Meanwhile, they'll be putting their expansion plans out | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
Plans to build up to 5,000 homes on a part of the Hoo Peninstla, | :01:46. | :01:55. | |
that's said to be key to thd UK s nightingale population, | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
have been described as "astonishing" by the Wildlife Trust. | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
The proposals were blocked last year when the area was declared ` Site | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
of Special Scientific Interdst, but last night they were approved | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
They will now be referred to the Government. | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
The Brighton Speed trials h`ve gone ahead today, after they werd | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
cancelled last year following the death of a competitor. | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
The Council has reinstated the race after thousands signed a petition. | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
It's thought to be one of the oldest motor sport events in the country. | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
The head of the Freight Transport Association says | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
the problem of migrants in Calais trying to reach Kent is the worst | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
he's seen for 20 years and hs calling for more government action. | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
His comments come amid rising tensions. | :02:35. | :02:35. | |
Calais and a migrant tries to jump on a lorry bound the Kent. Loments | :02:36. | :02:51. | |
later, another brazen attempt to gain illegal entry to the UK. Those | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
involved in the freight transport industry are now calling further | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
urgent attention from the British and French governments. The migrant | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
situation is the worst we h`ve known at the Freight Transport Association | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
in 20 years. This has escal`ted in the past few months from a | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
continuing background nuisance into a serious international isste. | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
Earlier this week 250 migrants try to storm a UK bound ferry, the mayor | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
of Calais threatened to blockade the Port unless the UK helped to control | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
the numbers of migrants. But former Home Secretary, Lloyd Howard, says | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
France must improve its border control. We had an agreement with | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
France under which if peopld came to the United Kingdom from France, and | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
claimed asylum, we would return them to France and France were ddalt `` | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
will deal with their claim. France is a member of the agreement. That | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
agreement allows passport free movement across much of Europe and | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
with an increased this presdnt in Calais, tensions are running high. | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
Just one football results. Crawley's game at home finished in a | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
disappointing 4`0. Time to the weather. | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
Some of us are having a brighter end to the day. | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
Elsewhere, it is still holdhng onto that cloud and that cotld | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
We have a clearer start and it will cloud over later. | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
We have some clear spells around, even once that cloud does btild | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
allowing that mist to develop once more. | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
Temperatures down to about 02 or 13 Celsius, remaining largely dry. | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
Tomorrow, there will be some brighter spells | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
at times, and we have an arda of cloud that is gradually sinking | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
You might see some showers around that, too. | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
That means the afternoon is going to be a little more | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
It gradually passes, so hopefully some late sunshine with | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
Monday is looking quite find, we have plenty of sunshine | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
but cloud starts to build again from Tuesday onwards. | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
That is also the moment. We will be back tomorrow evening with our next | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
update. Enjoy your weekend. Goodbye. Good evening. It was a mixed bag to | :05:04. | :05:17. | |
