The son of a woman who was crushed to death while working at a care | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
home in Kent says he's relieved that bosses have finally admitted | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
Joan Daws died five days after she was pinned to the wall | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
of a lift by a snagged chair at the Laleham Care Home | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
KCRH Limited has now admitted health and safety breaches - | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
something Simon Daws, Joan's son, told our reporter | :00:35. | :00:35. | |
Sara Smith, should never have taken so long. | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
For 11 years, Joan worked as a carer here, | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
but in 2013, what should have been a straightforward task, | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
moving a weighing chair from one floor to another, cost her life. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
She became trapped in the old-fashioned lift at | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
It was later revealed that it hadn't been serviced and didn't | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
My mum's death could have been avoided by just following | :00:59. | :01:12. | |
If you have a lift, they're meant to have it inspected. | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
They will give you recommendations for any safety work that needs to be | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
If they had put this light sensor in, the accident would never | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
Today, the home is under new ownership, but the | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
owners at the time have now pleaded guilty to two health | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
What this really highlights is that people have | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
a responsibility not only for the people who use | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
their services but also to the people they employ. | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
Joan Dawes died when the handles of the | :01:41. | :01:56. | |
weighing chair became trapped in the grill style | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
Colleagues heard her scream that she was unable to breathe. | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
By the time the fire brigade released her, she | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
She fell into a coma and died five days later, | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
suffering asphyxia, brain damage and broken ribs. | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
The care home's first reaction, he says, was to blame his mum | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
Now at last they have accepted wrongdoing. | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
We're now at just over three years where they have | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
finally pleaded guilty, and I'm glad that we are near | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
the end of the process, but nothing brings back my mum. | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
They will be sentenced at Crown Court where | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
they will be expecting hefty fine. | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
A man's been arrested after more than ?17,000 | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
worth of fireworks were stolen from a storage | :02:33. | :02:33. | |
The 26 year old was arrested on suspicion of handling stolen | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
goods and has now been released on bail. | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
A Bulgarian gang which smuggled nine illegal immigrants through the Port | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
of Dover have been jailed for a total of 28 years. | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
Maidstone Crown Court heard how they used garlic bulbs to put | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
They hid the migrants - which included a family | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
from Afghanistan - in special containers inside a van. | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
The judge called it a "sophisticated, well-organised | :03:02. | :03:02. | |
Sussex Police are appealing for information after the body | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
of a man was found inside a house following a fire in St Leonards. | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
This footage contains flashing images. | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
Fire crews were called to the property in West Hill Road | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
The cause of the blaze is currently being treated as unexplained. | :03:18. | :03:27. | |
East Sussex Fire and rescue were already convincing. Unfortunately, | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
when they went into the premises they found one deceased male, | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
identity unknown at this stage. We are following up from there. | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
Obviously there is a lot of forensic examination to go this time. | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
Hundreds of drivers in the South East have been flouting | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
the law by illegally using disabled parking permits - some even | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
using permits belonging to relatives who have died - | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
Nationally, more than 2.4 million disabled people | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
But East Sussex County Council says it believes as many as 1 in 5 | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
And since January last year, more than 300 badges have been | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
Five days a week, he's on the streets of East Sussex, | :04:08. | :04:16. | |
a colleague covers Brighton and Hove. | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
With identification badge on display, | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
there is nothing secret about these investigation officers. | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
They probably know more than you think. | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
From the front of the badge, we can establish a bit of information. | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
We can establish the sex of that badge-holder, and also the age. | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
From that, we would also have a look within the vehicle, maybe look at | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
seating positions, depending on whether it was a male or female, | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
but we would also look for any signs of disability equipment, | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
This car caught the inspector's eye this morning. | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
The interior didn't suggest an elderly | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
lady driver, but it turned out no offence had been committed. | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
Some people are repeat offenders, though. | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
This doctor was recently convicted in court for using his | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
dead mother's badge, and as he left court, | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
it turned out he had parked illegally for the court | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
It is cases like that which have made the two local | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
councils join Sussex Police to produce a video. | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
I could be ill for days because somebody has not | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
They can go five minutes away and walk | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
The video now forms part of a training course | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
offered as an alternative to a court appearance, a ?1000 fine and a | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
On the streets today, full support from the blue | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
I think it is the best thing, because there are so | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
many people who are abusing them, and as soon as they get caught it | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
gives people who need the space more chance. | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
I have personally seen people going into Tesco and parking in the | :05:44. | :05:52. | |
disabled bay, getting out of the car and then running into Tesco and I'm | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
How difficult could it be for you if you can't | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
Well, if I can't park, I have to go home. | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
A high percentage are going to be family | :06:08. | :06:16. | |
members, whether it is with the badge holder's | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
We may find that people, either through ignorance or lack of | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
education, are carrying out those errors and we're trying to that out. | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
Hello, can I have a quick check please? | :06:26. | :06:26. | |
Other councils and police forces, including Kent and Surrey, | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
are now considering using the Sussex and Brighton scheme themselves. | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
That's it from me, your national weather forecast in a moment, | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
but first let's get the picture in the South East | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
It is still looking quite wintry through the remainder of tonight and | :06:37. | :06:45. | |
for the first part of the weekend as well. The Met office has issued a | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
warning for snowfall across the rest of the region for tonight and | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
tomorrow. Not all of us will see snow showers but it will be quite | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
heavy around eastern Kent and at lower levels, mainly falling as snow | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
-- rain and sleet. With temperatures below freezing, it could be an icy | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
start to Saturday morning. Looking grey with further showers, and | :07:11. | :07:18. | |
feeling really cold. Just two or three degrees with a wind chill as | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
well. Sunday, a similar sort of day, starting with sleet and rain showers | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
but brightening up by the course of the afternoon. Not quite as cold. | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
Temperatures at 46 degrees. I'll leave you | :07:32. | :07:32. | |
exception to that rule probably over the hills where again there could be | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
a bit of snow, but not accumulating. Another cold | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
However I paint this weekend's picture, I'll need a palette of | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
grey. Thereby a a lot of cloud around but I managed to find some | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
sunshine. I don't know how but there was a couple of hours towards the | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
south-west in Cornwall, a beautiful day. The south-west saw glimpses of | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
sunshine. Further east, cloudy, cold and grey with winds off the North | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
seep and a scattering of wintry showers. Yes, rain sleet and snow, a | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
dusting at lower levels through the day. It brought this beautiful | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
picture on the outskirts of Aberdeenshire. But enough | :08:19. | :08:19. |
