:00:03. > :00:08.30 years in the planning, four years in the building and tonight
:00:08. > :00:11.traffic is using the Hindhead Tunnel for the first time. Hello,
:00:11. > :00:18.I'm Sally Taylor, welcome to South Today, live on location as the
:00:18. > :00:21.largest road scheme in the region opens for business. In tonight's
:00:21. > :00:24.programme... We'll be assessing the economic
:00:24. > :00:27.impact on the region and how there was originally a plan to make
:00:27. > :00:37.drivers pay for the road and how the tunnel's hi-tech safety
:00:37. > :00:40.
:00:40. > :00:43.features have already been tested Could the people on their bicycles
:00:43. > :00:46.please exit the tunnel? We will also have the rest of the
:00:46. > :00:49.day's news from across the region - including how two Afghan illegal
:00:49. > :00:52.immigrants were found working for the MoD on Salisbury Plain acting
:00:52. > :00:59.as Taliban fighters to help train soldiers. And Roger Johnson's in
:00:59. > :01:03.Weymouth. With exactly one year to goal until
:01:03. > :01:13.the Olympics, we will be live at the home of the sailing events in
:01:13. > :01:19.
:01:19. > :01:24.Dorset, as the road to London 2012 Opened early, under budget, and
:01:24. > :01:31.welcomed by almost everyone. When was the last time you could say
:01:31. > :01:35.that about a new road? The Hindhead tunnel has many firsts, but in this
:01:35. > :01:40.age of austerity it is the last road scheme of its size we will see
:01:40. > :01:43.for perhaps decades. It removes a notorious bottleneck on A3 trunk
:01:43. > :01:53.road between London and Portsmouth - at peak times, tailbacks could
:01:53. > :01:53.
:01:53. > :01:57.stretch ten miles. Here are a few quick facts for you. There are four
:01:57. > :02:00.miles of new road - the tunnel is just over a mile long. It has cost
:02:00. > :02:04.�371 million. That is about �142,000 per yard, making it the
:02:04. > :02:07.second most expensive road, yard for yard, in the country. And we
:02:07. > :02:17.can reveal that, because of the cost, there was a debate about
:02:17. > :02:26.
:02:27. > :02:30.whether it should be built as a toll road. More on that later.
:02:30. > :02:33.There's a the northbound carriageway, and they expect to
:02:34. > :02:36.open this on Friday. -- this is the northbound
:02:36. > :02:40.carriageway. The new road will carry 36,000
:02:40. > :02:42.vehicles a day, including cars that used to rat run to avoid the
:02:42. > :02:45.infamous Hindhead traffic lights. In the first of our reports, Roisin
:02:45. > :02:47.Gauson looks back on a big day for drivers.
:02:47. > :02:50.Traffic queues and Hindhead go hand in hand, but today traffic was
:02:50. > :02:54.building up for a different reason. Each wanted to be one of the first
:02:54. > :02:58.to travel through the new tunnel. Nine years in the planning, four-
:02:58. > :03:03.and-a-half years in the building and Britain's newest Tunnel is
:03:03. > :03:10.finally open. It is just over one mile long, which might not seem
:03:10. > :03:18.long, but it will cut commuting time by up to 40 minutes. We are
:03:18. > :03:23.beeping to all of the workers, it is fantastic. I have even set up a
:03:23. > :03:27.try pad -- tripod on the camera in the car and we will have a little
:03:27. > :03:31.like in a minute. We have been waiting for it to go
:03:31. > :03:35.through so I had to be here this morning to be one of the first
:03:35. > :03:39.through. This trickle will eventually become
:03:39. > :03:46.36,000 vehicles per day. Already the tunnel is having a huge effect
:03:46. > :03:48.on the amount of traffic through Hindhead. We are going northbound
:03:48. > :03:53.and it is still a nightmare, and southbound there has hardly any
:03:53. > :03:58.traffic. That will change over the weekend when both directions open.
:03:58. > :04:07.It has been a sad day for local traffic news reporters, but it has
:04:07. > :04:13.It has been a 30 year long wait for the tunnel to be built. Uniquely
:04:13. > :04:19.among big roads projects, this was a scheme that everyone wanted. But
:04:19. > :04:20.time and again it was postponed + because of the high cost. Our
:04:20. > :04:23.Transport Correspondent, Paul Clifton, reports.
:04:23. > :04:29.For decades, the traffic lights at Hindhead have been the biggest
:04:29. > :04:37.bottleneck on the main road between Portsmouth and London. The need for
:04:37. > :04:40.a bypass was agreed by the government 33 years ago, in 1978.
:04:40. > :04:49.For the lorry drivers who travel through here every day, the tunnel
:04:49. > :04:54.will transform the journey. You could have been sat in traffic
:04:54. > :05:04.for 25 minutes. At most places be delivered to you have a booking
:05:04. > :05:05.
:05:05. > :05:09.time. Four years ago ground clearance finally started. This
:05:09. > :05:12.valley was seen for the last time. It was to be filled in with the
:05:12. > :05:15.spoil from the tunnel. It was like digging through a giant sandpit.
:05:15. > :05:18.Each time the machines scraped away a couple of metres of soft
:05:18. > :05:24.sandstone, steel rods were forced through and the walls were sprayed
:05:24. > :05:34.with quick setting concrete to hold them up. The diggers worked from
:05:34. > :05:38.
:05:38. > :05:43.both ends of the tunnel at once. Eventually, they met in the middle.
:05:43. > :05:46.We were within about 35 mm, an inch and a half, so very close, bang on.
:05:46. > :05:50.The tunnel itself was largely complete a year ago, under budget.
:05:50. > :05:57.Since then, the roads on either side have been built and the tunnel
:05:57. > :06:01.While the Hindhead tunnel will bring relief for commuters on the
:06:01. > :06:09.A3, other bottlenecks in the south remain. Among the roads in need of
:06:09. > :06:13.improvement are the A27. It regularly gets jammed at Chichester,
:06:13. > :06:23.Arundel and Worthing. Various bypass schemes have all been
:06:23. > :06:26.
:06:26. > :06:30.shelved. The A303 at Stonehenge is another notorious bottleneck - but
:06:30. > :06:33.plans to build a tunnel there were scrapped in 2007. And the A32 at
:06:33. > :06:36.Gosport is often congested - a rapid bus scheme is being built,
:06:37. > :06:40.but it may not solve the problems. There are no firm plans for any of
:06:40. > :06:43.these roads because they all come with a huge price tag. As you saw,
:06:43. > :06:46.the ribbon cutting here was done by the Transport Secretary, Phillip
:06:46. > :06:47.Hammond. He confirmed there is a shift away from big road building
:06:47. > :06:50.projects. I would not collude make-do-and-
:06:50. > :06:52.mend, but there is a definite shift. Difficult times, we must use the
:06:52. > :07:01.resources we already have and the infrastructure we already have paid
:07:01. > :07:04.for to its absolute maximum to make journeys more predictable.
:07:05. > :07:07.It is the longest under land tunnel in the country and is packed with
:07:07. > :07:09.hi-tech safety features. The emergency services need to be
:07:10. > :07:15.prepared for the worst. Only yesterday there was a serious fire
:07:15. > :07:22.in a tunnel in South Wales. I stretch of the M4 mortar we
:07:22. > :07:29.closed for hours after a lorry caught fire in the tunnel. -- M4
:07:29. > :07:37.motorway. The war worst-case scenario is a large heavy goods
:07:37. > :07:44.vehicle or or oil tanker being ignited for some reason.
:07:44. > :07:48.Then you are talking about intense fires for a couple of hours or more.
:07:48. > :07:53.Drivers can also escape to the other tunnel using special doors of
:07:53. > :07:58.the 100 metres. The tunnel is monitored are round-the-clock by a
:07:58. > :08:05.control room, where staff are watching more than 100 CCTV cameras.
:08:05. > :08:10.There are radar units which spot slow or stop vehicles, even
:08:10. > :08:14.bicycles which are banned, as these riders found out when they had a
:08:14. > :08:19.sneaky short cut ahead of the opening.
:08:19. > :08:23.Could the cyclists please exit of the tunnel, European recorded.
:08:23. > :08:28.Those safety announcements are automatically relayed over at the
:08:28. > :08:33.car radio. RADIO: there is congestion ahead,
:08:33. > :08:43.please remain in your vehicle and switch off the engine.
:08:43. > :08:45.
:08:45. > :08:48.The tunnel was chosen because of the environmental benefits. A
:08:48. > :08:51.tunnel was chosen because of the environmental benefits. The old A3
:08:51. > :08:53.runs across the Devil's Punchbowl, a beautiful landmark and protected
:08:53. > :08:56.habitat. The old road will now be covered up, re-joining the
:08:56. > :08:59.Punchbowl and Hindhead Common into one giant wildlife wonderland - but
:08:59. > :09:02.as Jo Kent reports, it was the environmental lobby which pushed
:09:02. > :09:05.those concerns to the forefront. The tunnel is what many would have
:09:05. > :09:09.liked to have seen here, on the M3 at Twyford. It was ruled out for
:09:09. > :09:15.being too costly. Environmental campaigners fought hard to protect
:09:15. > :09:19.the countryside but that the scheme was completed in 1995.
:09:19. > :09:22.The protests at Twyford paved the way for the third Battle of Newbury
:09:22. > :09:28.as thousands protested over the destruction of more than 100 acres
:09:28. > :09:32.of woodland to build the Newbury bypass. The cost of policing and
:09:32. > :09:37.protecting the workers meant it run �10 million over budget. The tunnel
:09:37. > :09:42.at Hindhead became the preferred option after a successful campaign
:09:42. > :09:47.against a road-widening scheme. In 1997 with a new Labour Government,
:09:47. > :09:50.money in the banks and the memory of those protests fresh in the
:09:50. > :09:58.politician's' minds, it was given the go-ahead. The landscape has
:09:58. > :10:02.been restored after decades divided by the Athree dual-carriageway.
:10:02. > :10:08.It will allow things like snakes, lizards, butterflies, small
:10:08. > :10:18.insights to move from one part to another with larger blocks of heath.
:10:18. > :10:22.There is more chance they will survive. Already, new walking and
:10:22. > :10:31.cycle routes are being created in preparation for up visitors looking
:10:31. > :10:34.to enjoy renewed tranquil it -- renewed tranquillity ".
:10:34. > :10:44.Major was at the forefront of the project, something which owes a
:10:44. > :10:51.debt to the environmental protests We are live at the Hindhead tunnel.
:10:51. > :11:01.It may just be one and a quarter miles long, but it impact stretches
:11:01. > :11:02.
:11:02. > :11:09.far and wind. -- far and wide. And also how the tunnel has
:11:09. > :11:18.inspired local musicians. All that is still to come. Now let's go to
:11:18. > :11:21.An MP is calling for tighter vetting procedures after it was
:11:21. > :11:23.discovered that two men working with soldiers on Salisbury Plain
:11:23. > :11:27.are illegal immigrants. They have been playing the part of Taliban
:11:27. > :11:32.fighters during army exercises. Border Agency officials found the
:11:32. > :11:36.Afghan men at an Army camp. Steve Humphrey reports.
:11:36. > :11:40.Foreign nationals are being employed during army exercises on
:11:40. > :11:45.Salisbury Plain to play the part of Afghan villagers and Taliban
:11:45. > :11:48.fighters. Yesterday morning, officials carrying out checks here
:11:48. > :11:53.at the camp discovered two men from Afghanistan where in the country
:11:53. > :11:56.illegally. They were employed by an unnamed contractor. Today, people
:11:56. > :12:01.living nearby give their reaction to the news.
:12:01. > :12:06.They should not be there and should have been checked first.
:12:06. > :12:12.It is a bit shocking. That is a very bad, isn't it?
:12:12. > :12:14.Security has gone out the window. The Salisbury MP who sits on the
:12:14. > :12:18.defence select committee says vetting procedures must be
:12:18. > :12:22.tightened. We need to get it right, we need
:12:22. > :12:28.competence in a very sensitive job. We need competence in Government
:12:28. > :12:33.and in agencies. This is a mistake the MoD needs to put right.
:12:33. > :12:37.The MoD says it will be looking at at vetting procedures following an
:12:37. > :12:42.investigation. One of the men from Afghanistan, who was detained here

:12:59. > :13:02.The Opening ceremony for the 2012 Olympic Games is exactly a year
:13:03. > :13:06.away today. In the South there will be rowing at Dorney Lake in
:13:06. > :13:09.Buckinghamshire, and sailing at Weymouth and Portland. Today plans
:13:09. > :13:11.to create a special paid-for ticketed area at the normally
:13:11. > :13:18.public Nothe Gardens in Weymouth were approved by councillors. Roger
:13:18. > :13:23.Johnson joins us from there now. Here at Nothe Gardens you will
:13:23. > :13:26.probably get one of the best views of the Olympic sailing events as

:13:32. > :13:37.regatta will be based. -- Portsmouth National Sailing Academy.
:13:37. > :13:41.Without doubt, many of the world's best sailors will be here, and many
:13:41. > :13:46.are already here, members of the New Zealand team are based here. An
:13:46. > :13:49.Olympic Test event will begin at the weekend. At Nothe Gardens there
:13:49. > :13:58.is a little -- little disappointment that locals will not
:13:58. > :14:02.be able to get in. There will be fences pick around it today. There
:14:02. > :14:06.is a little disappointment from the people we have been talking to,
:14:06. > :14:09.they cannot really get under the skin of the Olympic Games.
:14:09. > :14:15.I believe it is good for the economy, but I don't think people
:14:15. > :14:20.are paying attention to the local residents.
:14:20. > :14:23.They could have managed the spectators by using all of
:14:23. > :14:31.Weymouth's green spaces. They'd been but have cut of the most
:14:31. > :14:35.beautiful of them. You will not see anything.
:14:35. > :14:41.Of the late getting a good view of the rowing events will not be a
:14:41. > :14:45.problem. Today, as they counted down the one year mark there, they
:14:45. > :14:52.lodged an appeal to find another 500 volunteers to help with the
:14:52. > :14:58.rowing, because rowing is a sport in which Britain has traditionally
:14:58. > :15:02.excelled at the Olympics. I live very close to the lake, so
:15:02. > :15:06.am very excited about the Olympic Games will stop the atmosphere will
:15:06. > :15:13.be fantastic. Or we are a small village, not used to huge events
:15:13. > :15:17.like this, so what will be something else to remember. -- so
:15:17. > :15:27.that will be something else. 500 volunteers are needed, and

:15:29. > :15:32.Dorney just like here, apropos -- Social workers in Southampton will
:15:32. > :15:35.go on strike next Wednesday. Their action is the latest in a series of
:15:35. > :15:37.strikes over pay cuts. 450 staff are involved, including some
:15:37. > :15:40.working directly with vulnerable adults and children. The council
:15:40. > :15:44.has offered to offset cuts in pay for childrens social workers. It
:15:44. > :15:48.says the strike is unacceptable. Hampshire County Council has agreed
:15:49. > :15:51.to cut bus subsidies by �2 million. It is part of an attempt to meet a
:15:52. > :15:54.�55 million funding gap for the coming year. The cuts will come
:15:55. > :15:58.into force in October, and will affect rural areas and weekend and
:15:58. > :16:01.evening services. There were extensive delays to
:16:01. > :16:03.trains on the Brighton to Portsmouth line in West Sussex this
:16:03. > :16:05.afternoon after a 39-year-old Worthing man climbed onto a
:16:05. > :16:08.carriage roof near Durrington Station. It is believed he managed
:16:08. > :16:12.to scramble up while the train - which was travelling to
:16:12. > :16:15.Littlehampton - was waiting for signals. British Transport Police
:16:15. > :16:24.managed to get him down unharmed after the power on the line had
:16:24. > :16:29.been turned off. The wedding dress is a crucial part
:16:29. > :16:35.of every bride's day, but the unexpected closing of one
:16:35. > :16:38.Southampton bridal shop has left one bride unhappy and out of pocket.
:16:38. > :16:43.Katy is shopping for a wedding dress. She thought she had already
:16:43. > :16:48.chosen her ideal outfit, but the shop which was having it made has
:16:48. > :16:52.suddenly gone out of business. She had already paid most of the �1,800
:16:52. > :16:56.the dress was costing. I was heartbroken, of course,
:16:56. > :16:59.because when you are getting married the biggest part of it is
:16:59. > :17:08.your address, you want to feel beautiful and I felt beatable in
:17:08. > :17:11.that dress. Hugely disappointed. So, Katy is on the search again.
:17:11. > :17:15.Another stone is offering a discount for her and any other
:17:15. > :17:19.bride to have been let down. Unfortunately we have seen this all
:17:19. > :17:23.before and we are going to see it in the future, so we are trying to
:17:23. > :17:28.get their giggles in, find him address they love as much or, if
:17:28. > :17:33.not, even better. It is so important, that this is the main
:17:33. > :17:41.thing. Weddings are always stressful, and
:17:41. > :17:50.for a Katy's mother it became just too much today. We tried to contact
:17:50. > :17:53.the closed shop, but no one was available for comment.
:17:53. > :17:55.The feature race at Glorious Goodwood was, as predicted very
:17:55. > :17:58.much a two horse race this afternoon. Frankel, trained by Sir
:17:58. > :18:01.Henry Cecil stormed to victory, outpacing big rival Canford Cliffs.
:18:01. > :18:04.Tom Queally steered Frankel to his eighth successive win on the flat.
:18:04. > :18:10.Defending champion Canford Cliffs who won the race last year was five
:18:10. > :18:17.lengths behind. The big story of the day is of
:18:17. > :18:22.course the long awaited opening of the Hindhead tunnel. We should do
:18:22. > :18:25.remind everyone it is the south bound carriageway that is opened,
:18:25. > :18:28.the northbound is expected to open on Friday.
:18:28. > :18:33.There are massive queues going north because they are still going
:18:33. > :18:37.through the town of Hindhead, that notorious bottleneck just over
:18:37. > :18:42.their about half-a-mile. The traffic weights there are still
:18:42. > :18:47.problem for many going north, but bear that in mind. Many of the
:18:48. > :18:55.businesses in that town are thinking of pulling out. Our
:18:55. > :18:59.correspondent is assessing the impact on the town of Hindhead.
:18:59. > :19:02.Excavation work shook their home to its foundations. The temporary
:19:02. > :19:06.divergence cent traffic thundering past, yet for this couple were
:19:06. > :19:12.promise of a new lease of life for Hindhead far outweighs the recent
:19:12. > :19:16.hassle. The house shook and vibrated quite
:19:16. > :19:20.wildly on occasions, but it was a relatively short lived.
:19:20. > :19:23.Property prices are not expected to soar, but quicker journeys will
:19:23. > :19:27.have an impact. It will shave off 20 minutes, and
:19:27. > :19:34.for a lot of people who want to be within an hour of London, that
:19:34. > :19:43.means they may contemplate moving tent or 20 minutes south of
:19:43. > :19:48.Hindhead. But could they as end up leaving Hindhead and dead-end town?
:19:48. > :19:51.Recounts a has a vision for the town, but there will soon be no
:19:51. > :19:55.passing trade. The petrol station closed last
:19:55. > :20:01.month, and the salvage yard opposite is up for sale.
:20:01. > :20:06.I do not see services working particularly well because I don't
:20:06. > :20:09.think they will get throughput. The traffic has harmed Hindhead,
:20:09. > :20:19.but it could be years before we know the real impact of taking it
:20:19. > :20:20.
:20:20. > :20:24.away. Let's look at the wider economic effects now. I'm joined by
:20:24. > :20:28.Maureen Frost from the Hampshire Chamber of Commerce.
:20:28. > :20:33.Looking further down towards Portsmouth, is this tunnel going to
:20:33. > :20:38.create business or jobs? Were a believe it will do. It is a
:20:38. > :20:42.bit of a cliche, but time is money as far as business is concerned. It
:20:42. > :20:47.is a key concern when people look to relocate, whether they can move
:20:47. > :20:51.people and goods quickly from one place to another. We think it will
:20:51. > :20:59.help recruitment, because the number of people who did not want
:20:59. > :21:09.to take a job either side of the tunnel before it was open.
:21:09. > :21:12.
:21:12. > :21:15.The tunnel down -- Portsmouth has said the Newport's Major's
:21:15. > :21:19.significant factor was the opening of this tunnel.
:21:19. > :21:28.And yes, it has definitely given new people choice.

:21:33. > :21:38.quicker now to get from Portsmouth to London than it is from Dover.
:21:38. > :21:42.Yes, it is getting that message across how quickly it can be

:22:24. > :22:26.The engineering and technological first of this project have been
:22:27. > :22:30.lovingly charted on a website. Dave Wareham from Bordon has been
:22:30. > :22:33.writing a blog on the tunnel for more than three years. It has had
:22:33. > :22:35.more than 100,000 hits and was popular with many of the tunnel
:22:35. > :22:37.workers. But hev has missed the big opening.
:22:37. > :22:41.He is on holiday! Well, a blog records modern events,
:22:41. > :22:46.but there is plenty of old history about this area. Duncan Mirylees is
:22:46. > :22:51.from the Surrey History Centre. Depicted simply, this is one of the

:23:19. > :23:25.understand this road was full of military vehicles.
:23:25. > :23:30.Yes, my dear aunt, who was a nurse during the Second World War are
:23:30. > :23:33.remembers seeing this road lined with Canadian and American military
:23:33. > :23:38.vehicles revving their engine at once and the noise and smoke was
:23:38. > :23:42.indescribable. It stuck in her memory until the day she died. She
:23:42. > :23:47.moved to Canada because she was very friendly with the Canadian
:23:47. > :23:52.troops. Very swiftly, this was known as a
:23:52. > :23:58.healthy area for writers. Yes, Arthur Conan Doyle built a
:23:58. > :24:06.house here and moved in 1897. Alas, his wife died six years later of
:24:06. > :24:10.the stock Lord Tennyson as well? To that is right, yes.
:24:10. > :24:14.One of the things they did over the last four years was put in some

:24:43. > :24:48.temperatures will stay mild with the cloud cover. That is the
:24:48. > :24:53.outside chance of showers but most places will stay dry. Through the
