:00:44. > :00:47.Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme.
:00:47. > :00:50.The developer which has paid a council hundreds of thousands of
:00:50. > :00:52.pounds so it can build these luxury flats, but get out of providing any
:00:52. > :00:58.social housing. Retro plan for jobs. The new
:00:58. > :01:01.enterprise zone aiming to bring jobs and prosperity to the south.
:01:01. > :01:04.Running, riding and rowing the high seas. The navy's big effort to
:01:04. > :01:07.raise funds for a cancer charity. And it's three out of three. Saints
:01:07. > :01:10.continue their flawless start to the season.
:01:10. > :01:12.A boost to the economy, jobs being created, and tax breaks for firms
:01:12. > :01:15.setting up shop. Those were the setting up shop. Those were the
:01:15. > :01:17.carrots dangled by the Government today as it confirmed a series of
:01:17. > :01:20.new enterprise zones, including one in Hampshire. The Solent Enterprise
:01:20. > :01:22.Zone is based at the Daedalus Airfield at Lee-on-the-Solent near
:01:22. > :01:25.Gosport in Hampshire, and it's hoped will create 650 jobs.
:01:25. > :01:30.Companies within the zones will get tax breaks, access to superfast
:01:30. > :01:40.broadband and benefit from relaxed planning controls. Catharina Moh
:01:40. > :01:45.reports. These young men had no experience
:01:45. > :01:51.of the marine engineering before they started working here. The idea
:01:51. > :01:56.is to attract more companies like this to operate here. We are
:01:56. > :02:02.looking to expand the company, getting younger people and train
:02:02. > :02:07.them up. The plan is to turn the site into a specialist hub for
:02:07. > :02:13.aviation and marine engineering, attracting up to 45 new businesses
:02:13. > :02:20.and creating around 650 jobs by 2015. How are they planning on
:02:20. > :02:25.attracting businesses and people to the area? By simplifying planning
:02:25. > :02:29.laws, provided faster broadband and giving tax breaks for the next four
:02:29. > :02:36.years. This is not the first time that enterprise zones have come up.
:02:36. > :02:40.Margaret Thatcher introduce them in the 1980s. They failed and were
:02:40. > :02:44.costly. The coalition government says that this time, it is
:02:44. > :02:47.different. The business rates that are collected here go straight into
:02:48. > :02:52.the local council and they have an incentive to be invest them on the
:02:52. > :03:02.site and make them a success. It is all about trying to grow our way
:03:02. > :03:04.
:03:04. > :03:10.out of a recession, rather than spend our way out. We need jobs for
:03:10. > :03:15.people that are not qualified, or not highly qualified. We need more
:03:15. > :03:20.housing as well. And I know a lot of people that the jobs in the area.
:03:20. > :03:24.It will be good if there is training. We need specialised
:03:24. > :03:28.training before be can start the work. This is just the start. For
:03:28. > :03:32.it to work, it will need a lot of private investment and local
:03:32. > :03:42.support. But the hope is that it will provide a much-needed boost to
:03:42. > :03:44.
:03:44. > :03:54.the area. Good news for the Enterprise Zone at Daedalus, but
:03:54. > :03:58.
:03:59. > :04:01.there was disappointment for the along the coast. In Bognor Regis
:04:01. > :04:04.the town's bid to become an enterprise zone was unsuccessful.
:04:04. > :04:07.They expected to create over 7,000 jobs by building a manufacturing
:04:07. > :04:10.plant and some business premises on farmland. But the team behind the
:04:10. > :04:13.failed bid say they are now looking for funding elsewhere and some of
:04:13. > :04:15.the projects are going ahead. They will come, but it may take a
:04:15. > :04:18.little bit longer than if we had that enterprise zone status. But
:04:18. > :04:21.with our partners, where there is a well, there is a way. We will find
:04:21. > :04:24.a way through and we will deliver those jobs.
:04:24. > :04:26.A little earlier I spoke to David Arrell, the Pro Vice Chancellor at
:04:27. > :04:29.Portsmouth University. Part of his role is looking at regional
:04:29. > :04:32.economic development. I asked him why, when back in the '80s
:04:32. > :04:38.enterprise zones did not work particul+arly well, he thought they
:04:38. > :04:44.would work this time around. This time round, it is very
:04:44. > :04:47.different. In the 1980s, the government used and unfocused
:04:47. > :04:53.approach and most of the projects were unsuccessful and just fizzled
:04:53. > :04:57.out. Here, particularly in the Solent region, the plan for the
:04:57. > :05:07.enterprise on that was put forward is one that is focused very much on
:05:07. > :05:07.
:05:07. > :05:14.areas of strength, knowledge-based industries, defence, transport,
:05:14. > :05:16.automotive, energy. The Solent region has got significant
:05:16. > :05:25.expertise that is recognised internationally.
:05:25. > :05:29.It is interesting that a piece of work from earlier this year said
:05:29. > :05:34.that enterprise zones are likely to be ineffective but stimulating
:05:34. > :05:39.growth. The suggestion is that they are OK in the short term, but not
:05:39. > :05:45.the long term. If you look at the focus for the industries in the
:05:45. > :05:49.Solent Enterprise zone, they are hi-tech industries. They will build
:05:49. > :05:53.on their expertise in the area are already. They will make the maximum
:05:53. > :06:00.use of graduates coming out of universities in pause mode and
:06:00. > :06:04.Southampton. Not only do you have existing skills -- Portsmouth. But
:06:04. > :06:09.there is room for expansion and a ready made work force that will
:06:09. > :06:13.stay in the region rather than leave and go elsewhere. The biggest
:06:13. > :06:17.problem in that area of Gosport is access and the infrastructure.
:06:17. > :06:22.Until you get that sorted out, it does not matter how much money you
:06:22. > :06:27.throw at the region. That has always been a problem. But if you
:06:27. > :06:34.look at the nature of the industry we are developing their, it is all
:06:34. > :06:38.very computer-based. That takes pressure away from the road
:06:38. > :06:45.infrastructure. One of the sectors that we are targeting is a marine
:06:45. > :06:55.engineering. That means looking at access to the site using the water
:06:55. > :06:57.
:06:57. > :07:00.rather than roads and land. A ship which is fully laden with
:07:00. > :07:02.gravel has grounded in the River Arun at the entrance to
:07:02. > :07:05.Littlehampton Harbour. The coaster Mungo has six people on board.
:07:05. > :07:07.Littlehampton Coastguard Rescue Team has been sent to the scene and
:07:07. > :07:11.Shoreham RNLI lifeboat has been requested to launch and provide
:07:11. > :07:21.safety cover. Attempts will be made to refloat the vessel at the next
:07:21. > :07:21.
:07:21. > :07:24.high water early tomorrow morning. An inquest resumed today into the
:07:24. > :07:26.death of a recovery truck driver who was killed while trying to
:07:26. > :07:33.restart a car near Ringwood in Hampshire. It's examining whether
:07:33. > :07:38.driver of the car which hit Terry Booth was jailed for causing death
:07:38. > :07:43.by dangerous driving. Steve Humphrey reports.
:07:43. > :07:49.Recovery truck driver Terry Booth was killed three years ago as he
:07:49. > :07:58.tried to start a court near Ringwood. He worked for a recovery
:07:58. > :08:05.company. -- start a car. At today's inquest was as feels see who is
:08:05. > :08:15.trying to establish what happened that night. -- his partner. Terry
:08:15. > :08:17.
:08:17. > :08:23.Booth had gone to a broken-down car or to repair a Peugeot. A people
:08:23. > :08:32.carrier crashed into him and killed him. The driver of that car or was
:08:33. > :08:41.jailed for dangerous driving, having fallen asleep at the real.
:08:41. > :08:47.-- at the wheel. The inquest heard that all the evidence suggested
:08:47. > :08:54.that Terry Booth did not have a portable battery jump start pack
:08:54. > :08:58.but dead have jump leads. They had to be plugged into the truck. Fixed
:08:58. > :09:06.jump leads would not have reached if the recovery truck had been
:09:06. > :09:12.parked behind the broken down Peugeot. At the time of the
:09:12. > :09:22.collision, of which happened at night, all the recovery trucks
:09:22. > :09:23.
:09:23. > :09:26.lights were working. Five men have been arrested after
:09:26. > :09:31.raids took place in Sussex. The UK Border Agency targeted restaurants
:09:31. > :09:34.in Worthing and Goring-by-Sea. Two Chinese men working at the Worthing
:09:34. > :09:37.Interwok restaurant have been detained, while another man has
:09:37. > :09:40.been released on bail. Men from the Fortune Inn Restaurant in Worthing
:09:40. > :09:50.and the Fortune Inn in Goring have also been detained. The restaurant
:09:50. > :09:53.
:09:53. > :09:56.owners could face a �10,000 fine for every illegal worker arrested.
:09:56. > :09:59.A 22-year-old man has been arrested in connection with robbing a
:09:59. > :10:02.newsagents and trying to rob a Co- op store in Southampton. The man
:10:02. > :10:06.threatened staff and demanded money at the Alpine News store in Vangard
:10:06. > :10:09.Road with what is believed to be a gun. This was after he tried to rob
:10:09. > :10:12.a Co-op store but ran off when the panic button was activated.
:10:12. > :10:17.Still to come in this evening's South Today. Rachael Canter's all
:10:17. > :10:21.at sea. Find out why the crew of HMS
:10:21. > :10:31.Chingford have been running, though wing and riding their way home from
:10:31. > :10:32.
:10:32. > :10:35.Nearly 10,000 people across Sussex have quit smoking following an NHS
:10:35. > :10:38.campaign. In the year to March, more than 4,000 people stopped
:10:38. > :10:48.smoking in West Sussex, almost 3,500 in East Sussex and 1,800 in
:10:48. > :10:54.
:10:54. > :10:57.Brighton and Hove. Stonehenge had more than one
:10:57. > :10:59.million visitors last year, up nearly 20,000 on the previous year.
:10:59. > :11:02.The World Heritage Site is the ninth most popular paid-for
:11:02. > :11:07.attraction in the country according to the figures from VisitBritain.
:11:07. > :11:10.It's also the most visited tourist attraction in the South West.
:11:10. > :11:13.A developer has come under attack tonight for putting profit before
:11:13. > :11:17.people. The comments were made by a councillor after a property firm
:11:17. > :11:19.was granted planning permission for exclusive flats in a prime location.
:11:19. > :11:23.But the firm, which has former Porstmouth football manager Harry
:11:23. > :11:28.Redknapp as one of its directors, will not have to provide any social
:11:28. > :11:30.housing, despite the fact that is normal council policy.
:11:30. > :11:33.Pierfront Developments put in its planning application for 92
:11:33. > :11:36.apartments on the site. Under normal planning rules in Portsmouth,
:11:36. > :11:41.the firm would be required to designate 30%, that's 28 of those
:11:41. > :11:44.units, to social housing. But Pierfront has offered the council
:11:44. > :11:48.�600,000 to get out of that obligation, saying the project is
:11:48. > :11:52.not financially viable if social housing is included. But that money
:11:52. > :11:59.would only pay for about six social housing units, not the 28 the
:11:59. > :12:09.council could have expected. Our political reporter Alex Forsyth is
:12:09. > :12:10.
:12:11. > :12:18.at the development site now. Alex. The site in question is the one
:12:18. > :12:28.behind me. It is right next door to Savoy Court, the building that
:12:28. > :12:29.
:12:29. > :12:33.burnt down last week. You can see the site is empty and audit up. But
:12:33. > :12:42.it is on a key position, right on the seafront. That is why the
:12:42. > :12:46.council says it has done this deal. But there council has been
:12:46. > :12:52.criticised as taking an immoral decision.
:12:52. > :12:57.This woman shares a bedroom with her daughter. She also has a 15-
:12:57. > :13:07.year-old son. They all live in a small flat. But they cannot afford
:13:07. > :13:12.to move. Your daughter is eight years old, she has never had her
:13:12. > :13:22.own room? Yes. It is totally unacceptable. We just have to keep
:13:22. > :13:24.
:13:24. > :13:28.waiting. imports with, 2500 people are waiting for social housing. To
:13:28. > :13:32.help with this, the council says that new developments have to
:13:33. > :13:41.include social housing. But for this new development, the council
:13:41. > :13:44.has agreed to take a payment from Pierfront Developments instead.
:13:44. > :13:50.will now have to go to people and say you cannot avoid home because
:13:51. > :13:59.we have put profit first. -- you cannot have a home. This was the
:13:59. > :14:07.sight of the former Savoy buildings. The owners, Pierfront Developments,
:14:07. > :14:13.also owned Savoy Court. They say if they have to provide affordable
:14:13. > :14:17.homes here, it would have proved too costly to develop the site.
:14:17. > :14:26.This is an absolute mess at the warm-up. We needed jobs, we need
:14:26. > :14:35.restaurants, we need bars. This is the first step in that development
:14:35. > :14:42.picture. The company has offered to pay �600,000. But that would pair
:14:42. > :14:46.paid for far fewer homes that they would have had to provide. If we
:14:46. > :14:52.are talking about a straight commercial decision, I think it is
:14:52. > :14:56.quite hard to justify from a local authority's point of view.
:14:56. > :15:02.council can review its decision in three years if the site is not
:15:02. > :15:05.completed. The council set that time frame to make sure this
:15:05. > :15:11.development happens. I spoke to Pierfront Developments yesterday
:15:11. > :15:13.and they did not want to comment officially. But there agency said
:15:13. > :15:23.that Pierfront Developments will want to bring the Savoie aside back
:15:23. > :15:34.
:15:34. > :15:37.into use to become part of the community. -- Savoie it site.
:15:37. > :15:39.Three-and-a-half years is a long time to be away from home. HMS
:15:39. > :15:42.Chiddingfold finally returns to Portsmouth tomorrow after working
:15:42. > :15:44.in the Arabian Gulf since 2008. In keeping with tradition, her crew
:15:44. > :15:47.have used their return journey to fundraise and today they invited
:15:47. > :15:57.members of their chosen charity, The Prostate Project, on board the
:15:57. > :16:01.ship. Rachael Canter was there. It has been a long journey home.
:16:01. > :16:07.6250 miles to be precise. Her crew should know because they have not
:16:07. > :16:12.just sailed here. This is quite a big challenge, especially with the
:16:13. > :16:16.hot weather conditions. Knowing it was six weeks for the journey home,
:16:16. > :16:21.we decided to set up an event challenge for the entire journey
:16:21. > :16:26.home. We are using the rowing machine, the cycling machine and
:16:26. > :16:34.the running machine. Imagine there are growing hundreds of miles
:16:34. > :16:44.through the Red Sea in temperatures of up to 50 degrees centigrade. It
:16:44. > :16:46.
:16:46. > :16:49.is all to raise money for a Prostate Cancer Charity. I lost my
:16:50. > :16:58.grandfather to prostate cancer. It is nice to be able to put some
:16:58. > :17:04.money back into the charity. It is not publicised enough. We are an
:17:04. > :17:10.all-male ship. The crew members have raised more than �1,000
:17:10. > :17:16.already. The 34,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer of
:17:16. > :17:26.the UK this year, 10,000 will die of it. But if you catch it early,
:17:26. > :17:39.
:17:39. > :17:44.it can be cured. HMS Chiddingfold From the -- took the name of from

:18:07. > :18:10.The Portsmouth-based historic warship HMS Warrior is the star of
:18:10. > :18:14.a live show on BBC1 tonight. Sian Williams and Dan Snow have spent
:18:14. > :18:17.all day filming on board the ship which never fired a shot in anger.
:18:17. > :18:20.In just over half an hour, they're live with a show uncovering her

:19:10. > :19:23.
:19:23. > :19:33.Yes, do join us tonight. Southampton are doing really well.
:19:33. > :19:43.
:19:43. > :19:46.Yes, they are, but it is early days. The season is just a few weeks old.
:19:46. > :19:48.Southampton's 100% start to life in the Championship means they have
:19:48. > :19:50.now won their last five away matches, including their promotion
:19:50. > :19:52.campaign in League One. Adam Blackmore watched last night's
:19:53. > :19:56.thumping win at Ipswich. 100% in the League add another
:19:56. > :20:03.irresistible team displayed to sweep Ipswich aside last night.

:20:07. > :20:10.Another goal, another composed finish up to put the visitors in
:20:10. > :20:18.finish up to put the visitors in control. It was three before half-
:20:18. > :20:22.time. David Connolly scored. The pundits were purring with pleasure.
:20:22. > :20:26.We are playing better now than what they did before. They are passing,
:20:26. > :20:35.their movement is good, their movement off the ball. They have
:20:35. > :20:45.got some good individual players. Ipswich snatched it two goals back
:20:45. > :20:50.
:20:50. > :21:00.after the restart. Two splendid finishes. There is a determination
:21:00. > :21:09.

:21:19. > :21:20.
:21:20. > :21:26.football in a moment. Brighton are at Cardiff tonight.
:21:26. > :21:32.You can hear commentary on BBC Radio Sussex.
:21:32. > :21:39.Yes, Brighton have continued the momentum of last season. They are
:21:39. > :21:46.looking to continue their form. Craig Mackail-Smith opened the
:21:46. > :21:50.scoring last weekend. Tonight could be the sternest test so far of
:21:50. > :21:59.their Championship credentials. Cardiff will also have of 100%
:21:59. > :22:09.record. The Albion manager wants two more players before the end of
:22:09. > :22:12.
:22:12. > :22:22.the transfer window. If you spot the deliberate mistake... A first

:22:43. > :22:46.bit. But I would take it. It was a difficult night. We haven't come
:22:46. > :22:49.out with anything but we have to move on quickly. Bournemouth had a
:22:49. > :22:51.night to forget in League One, a goal just after half-time
:22:51. > :22:54.cancelling out an early Stevenage lead. They then had Adam Barrett
:22:54. > :23:01.sent off, and the resulting penalty put the visitors back in front.
:23:01. > :23:07.Bournemouth's 10 men eventually went down 3-1. When we are closing
:23:07. > :23:11.teams down, we are at our best. We did not really do that tonight.
:23:11. > :23:14.Crawley are second in League Two, the new boys hammering Southend 3-0.
:23:14. > :23:24.Two second half goals put them on an impressive unbeaten start to
