:00:09. > :00:16.Good evening. Sitting on a fortune. And millions of pounds of
:00:16. > :00:21.developers's money destined for communities and lying unspent by
:00:21. > :00:24.councils. I think they should get spending and not keep it in bank
:00:24. > :00:32.accounts and put it back into the communities.
:00:32. > :00:35.Week, confused and unproductive, Portsmouth's children's agencies are
:00:35. > :00:38.under fire for the lack of support given to children. You'll mark we
:00:38. > :00:44.would like to apologise for the quality of the service.
:00:44. > :00:59.Complaints over ten mile tailbacks as people living on the A303
:00:59. > :01:07.complain that things have been made worse.
:01:07. > :01:11.A BBC says investigation has revealed that hundreds of millions
:01:11. > :01:17.of pounds of cash from developers is lying unspent in Council bank
:01:17. > :01:20.accounts. Figures gathered under the Freedom of Information Act assured
:01:20. > :01:25.that local authorities in our area have accumulated more than £400
:01:25. > :01:30.million. The money is to be spent on roads, schools and other community
:01:30. > :01:34.projects but more than a third of it currently remains on allocated to
:01:34. > :01:39.specific projects. Some authorities have been hanging on to
:01:39. > :01:45.developers's money for so long they have had to give £2.2 million back.
:01:45. > :01:51.The place to have fun, paid for by developers. When negotiating
:01:51. > :01:55.planning agreements, councils insist that developers give money towards
:01:55. > :01:59.nuclear areas, schools, roads and other projects. The greater the
:02:00. > :02:06.impact of the new buildings, the more the developer has to pay. It is
:02:06. > :02:11.important that the use the money wisely to make the residents happy.
:02:11. > :02:16.They should get spending. The developers here had to pay £1.5
:02:16. > :02:20.million to build a new health centre on this derelict site to build all
:02:20. > :02:24.—— to serve all of the new residents. At when the plan was
:02:25. > :02:34.abandoned after a health centre was opened a few males away, residents
:02:35. > :02:38.were angry. I have got the backing of my local councillors and MPs so I
:02:38. > :02:47.am hoping that the money will be spent here in Battle Ward. Rumack
:02:47. > :02:51.the important thing is that the council spends the money. If it is
:02:51. > :02:56.not spent then it will have to be refund it. If it has to refund money
:02:57. > :03:13.then it has been incompetent. Reading has not had to give any
:03:13. > :03:17.money back, but other councils have. A section of the Millennium Walkway
:03:17. > :03:23.here simply did not get built. In Chichester, money for improvements
:03:23. > :03:26.to the canal basin had to be returned. The district council here
:03:26. > :03:31.says that it is no monitoring money from developers much more closely.
:03:31. > :03:34.Elsewhere it was money for bus stops and a woodland that had to be
:03:34. > :03:37.returned. What does the government have to say about the hundreds of
:03:38. > :03:43.millions of pounds our councils have in the bank and a large chunk that
:03:43. > :03:47.remains unallocated? The planning minister, Nick Boles, told us that
:03:47. > :03:53.local people we'd be surprised to hear that local councils were
:03:53. > :03:58.reporting millions of pounds. The councils made these agreements with
:03:59. > :04:02.developers for the development of the community and councillors should
:04:02. > :04:06.not be pocketing the cash. Local authorities all insist they are not
:04:06. > :04:09.sitting on this money unnecessarily and that it will be spent. But a
:04:09. > :04:13.number of builders and developers have told us that they believe that
:04:13. > :04:23.some of the councils are holding them to ransom, with the threat of
:04:24. > :04:29.turning down council applications as a bride. You are taking all of the
:04:29. > :04:40.profit up front, the small builders will not take the risk any more. The
:04:40. > :04:46.government is encouraging challenges to this, in the hope of speeding up
:04:46. > :04:50.development and economic recovery. Our business correspondent is with
:04:50. > :04:57.me. What are the government planning to do? Developers have always had to
:04:57. > :05:00.play for projects, but the old rules are being phased out which means
:05:00. > :05:04.that councils can do more with the money and that gives them more
:05:04. > :05:10.flexibility. This is the community infrastructure Levy, it is supposed
:05:10. > :05:14.to be more transparent, but it is proving controversial. Why is it not
:05:14. > :05:21.going down well with the home builders? In future the money can be
:05:21. > :05:27.used to fund much wider capital projects, not necessarily linked to
:05:27. > :05:30.a specific project. This is essentially getting the private
:05:30. > :05:34.sector to pick up for a cut in funding to the public sector.
:05:34. > :05:45.Quarter councils looking to charge? There is no consistency. There are
:05:45. > :05:50.wildly different sums. In Southampton a developer could be
:05:50. > :05:58.charged £70 per square metre, but in the Berks that goes up to £220 and
:05:58. > :06:04.in walking up to £265. Huge variation the region.
:06:04. > :06:09.Our three—week—old baby died after agencies failed to work together to
:06:09. > :06:14.support her family, according to a report will lease today. The girl's
:06:14. > :06:18.for half siblings were already subject to protection plans and in
:06:18. > :06:24.the care of relatives when she was born. She was put into the care of
:06:24. > :06:29.her grandmother but died in her sleep of natural causes in 2011. The
:06:29. > :06:34.council has apologised for its failings.
:06:34. > :06:37.As you say, this small baby was living with its grandmother. That
:06:37. > :06:42.was an arrangement that was approved by the courts, but on the night she
:06:42. > :06:48.died she had been left in the care of her aunt, who had herself been
:06:48. > :06:51.described as vulnerable. The baby died of natural causes, and
:06:51. > :06:55.infection. The council is clear that her death could not have been
:06:55. > :07:00.prevented, but does admit that she was not left in safe circumstances.
:07:00. > :07:08.Her death has prompted a review of the authorities in this case and has
:07:08. > :07:12.found feelings for which the council has apologised today. We did not
:07:12. > :07:16.provide the right support and I wish to apologise. We put in place a
:07:16. > :07:23.number of changes in terms of our services, we strengthened our legal
:07:23. > :07:28.services, we now have experienced advisors, and we have improved the
:07:28. > :07:33.recruitment of our social workers. What exactly went wrong here? This
:07:33. > :07:38.family had a long history of contact with the police, NHS and the
:07:38. > :07:42.council. There had been previous investigations into serious
:07:42. > :07:48.unexplained injuries that the baby's holders have siblings had
:07:48. > :07:53.sustained, including fractured ribs and a broken bone. Some complaints
:07:53. > :07:59.were not followed up. Social workers were assigned to this case. The
:07:59. > :08:03.investigations were weak and was no plan in place ahead of the birth of
:08:03. > :08:05.this new child. But those who oversee social work in Portsmouth
:08:05. > :08:13.say that improvements have now been made. Social workers complex, staff
:08:13. > :08:19.are pressured, people work hard to deliver a good service, nobody sets
:08:19. > :08:23.out to do a bad job. In this situation mistakes were made, some
:08:23. > :08:27.things could be improved, but it is about strengthening practice, moving
:08:27. > :08:34.forward and having a stronger, more robust service overall. This is the
:08:34. > :08:37.second set report to be least about Portsmouth this year. Some say
:08:37. > :08:42.lessons still need to be learned to prevent mistakes in future. This is
:08:42. > :08:46.not good enough, there is a long way to go, we need to tighten
:08:46. > :08:49.procedures, we need to support the staff in this building who really
:08:49. > :08:53.need that support to ensure that the most vulnerable in our communities,
:08:53. > :09:01.the elderly and young children taken into care, are properly looked
:09:01. > :09:04.after. In a week when child protection failings have been in the
:09:04. > :09:09.spotlight we hear that mistakes will not be repeated. But it is unlikely
:09:09. > :09:12.that this will be the last time that authorities are forced to consider
:09:12. > :09:16.how they can best protect the most vulnerable.
:09:16. > :09:20.The parents of a toddler who died on Christmas Day last year have
:09:20. > :09:26.criticised the actions of the Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth in
:09:26. > :09:33.the days before her death. Anabelle Shepherd, who had a rear genetic
:09:33. > :09:37.condition, died several days after being transferred from the Queen
:09:37. > :09:43.Alexandra Hospital. Anabelle Shepherd's parents arriving
:09:43. > :09:47.at the inquest today. Their highly critical statements are read aloud
:09:47. > :09:53.by the coroner. They described how well their daughter seemed following
:09:53. > :09:57.the bone marrow transplant at Great Ormond Street Hospital. They were
:09:57. > :10:00.excited for the future. But six months later they took her to Queen
:10:00. > :10:05.Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth worried that she seemed lethargic.
:10:05. > :10:09.Mr Shepherd was highly critical of the care that she received there. In
:10:09. > :10:17.particular that staff had not taken on board her suppressed immune
:10:17. > :10:25.system following the transplant. I feel completely wet down, he said.
:10:25. > :10:33.—— Whetstone. Mrs Shephard described how she had to continually prompt
:10:33. > :10:37.nursing staff to carry out basic observations and take samples from
:10:37. > :10:41.her daughter. I feel that she was badly let down by her hometown and
:10:41. > :10:48.we were robbed of our daughter. Not a day goes by when I do not cry for
:10:48. > :10:57.her. One of the consultants were then questioned. One of the doctors
:10:57. > :11:01.described that a new protocol is now in place to deal with children with
:11:01. > :11:06.suppressed immune systems. He described that he simply did not see
:11:06. > :11:10.many children with those needs, and admitted that there was a gap in
:11:10. > :11:20.service. The coroner will give his verdict next month.
:11:20. > :11:27.Still to come: The schoolboy who designed a corgi in honour of the
:11:27. > :11:32.Queen's great—grandson. Have improvements to the main road
:11:32. > :11:36.through Wiltshire actually made the traffic jams worse? It seems that
:11:36. > :11:41.they may have done. Back in June English Heritage closed the road
:11:41. > :11:47.next to Stonehenge and dug it up as part of a plan to return the ancient
:11:47. > :11:51.monument to its original setting. Traffic was diverted. But this
:11:51. > :11:57.summer has seen record traffic jams, sometimes stretching for ten miles
:11:57. > :12:02.or more. A public meeting is about to get underway in the nearby
:12:02. > :12:07.village of Shrewton and our transport correspondent is there for
:12:07. > :12:10.us tonight. A special planning meeting of
:12:10. > :12:16.Wiltshire Council is about to get underway in the village hall here
:12:16. > :12:20.and there are, as you see, plenty of people lining up to complain. They
:12:20. > :12:28.believe that closing the road past Stonehenge and pure design of the
:12:28. > :12:36.roundabout not only brought bad traffic jams but reverted traffic
:12:36. > :12:44.onto narrow rat runs —— poor design. Coach driver started using this old
:12:44. > :12:48.track to bypass it. I pass every day and from my experience traffic has
:12:48. > :12:53.got dramatically worse. As well as this meeting, there is a petition,
:12:53. > :13:00.website campaign and plenty of people calling for urgent action.
:13:00. > :13:08.This act now for tell you when there is a queue ahead, you then
:13:08. > :13:12.rescheduled where you are going and it dumps everybody into Shrewton and
:13:12. > :13:16.the surrounding villages. —— the satnav will tell you critical.
:13:16. > :13:22.People are stressed and out of their comfort zone. This needs to be made
:13:22. > :13:29.a jewel carriageway throughout its length, for the economy and for two
:13:29. > :13:33.is. I am working with several bodies and people to bring that forward. A
:13:33. > :13:43.feasibility study has been agreed with the government. What is the
:13:43. > :13:46.authority saying? Wiltshire Council has acknowledged that there has been
:13:46. > :13:50.significant delays this summer and that there are some issues with a
:13:50. > :13:55.local road network. The Highways Agency says it is monitoring the
:13:55. > :13:58.changes. It declined our request for an interview but said that changes
:13:58. > :14:05.that are deemed necessary will be carried out as quickly as possible.
:14:05. > :14:11.There is an acceptance year of a problem, what realistically can be
:14:11. > :14:19.done about it? You have heard the calls for a jewel carriageway. In
:14:19. > :14:25.the long time that is unlikely. —— dual carriageway. But the kid be
:14:25. > :14:30.other reasons —— there could be other reasons for this traffic
:14:30. > :14:42.congestion. There has been a good team —— arisen season. The problems
:14:42. > :14:45.locally are perhaps one part of an increasingly urgent issue. A
:14:45. > :15:02.contentious issue there. 19 people have been arrested in the
:15:02. > :15:06.area under operation fortress. All 17 men and two women who were
:15:06. > :15:11.arrested remain in police custody. Dorset Police have made two further
:15:11. > :15:16.arrests into their investigation into an attempted murder in report.
:15:16. > :15:21.Two people were seriously injured in Sea View Road on Monday. One man
:15:21. > :15:27.arrested has already been released on bail. Officers arrested two other
:15:27. > :15:32.men yesterday. Idea is to build a controversial
:15:32. > :15:37.biomass power plant has been dealt a blow today. It was decided that they
:15:37. > :15:44.would not by energy from company—mac, the company behind the
:15:44. > :15:48.Western docks. It's means that the company is less viable to be
:15:48. > :15:52.eligible for government subsidies. Almost a million people are being
:15:52. > :15:59.expected to be living with dementia by the end the decade.
:15:59. > :16:03.Britain has decided to make 20 dementia friendly cities and towns
:16:03. > :16:08.around the country. One of the cities at the forefront of the
:16:08. > :16:13.campaign at Redding. It was decided to teach people at primary schools
:16:13. > :16:18.about what happens as we go on grappling with the idea of people
:16:18. > :16:23.with dementia. The other day I came in, I could not
:16:23. > :16:27.find my keys. I looked everywhere for my keys. I did not know where
:16:27. > :16:34.they were. I had left them on the outside of the door.
:16:34. > :16:39.A failing memory may just be that. I say to them, I know my times tables.
:16:39. > :16:45.For a growing number of children in the classroom, the dementia drama
:16:45. > :16:48.will be real life in the coming years.
:16:48. > :16:51.We hear all the time about people 's experiences and the teacher saying
:16:51. > :16:55.that they are aware what is going on. It is all about taking that fear
:16:55. > :16:59.away and saying to the people that it is happening more and more, but
:16:59. > :17:06.we can understand it and work alongside it. It is like a big
:17:06. > :17:10.computer... This'll be the generation were more more children
:17:10. > :17:15.find themselves coping with relatives who have dementia. The
:17:15. > :17:19.idea is to take the project to every school in Redding and possibly West
:17:19. > :17:23.Berkshire. Starting the education process at the age of ten may seem
:17:23. > :17:26.young for some, but then the condition itself makes no such
:17:26. > :17:32.distinctions. I think I have a relative who has
:17:32. > :17:37.dementia. She is in a care home. I have learned that you need to
:17:37. > :17:42.respect everyone and if someone acts like that, then you need to respect
:17:42. > :17:49.them and is not just run away and be scared.
:17:50. > :17:52.Excuse me! Grandparents have always loomed large in the lives of
:17:52. > :17:58.children, and ever so more than today.
:17:58. > :18:02.Grandparents and children have a close relationship, and it is
:18:02. > :18:07.important that children learn the signs.
:18:07. > :18:12.The whole process is is to prepare children and their parents who will
:18:12. > :18:19.be moving from being carers to those who need caring for. Onto the sport.
:18:19. > :18:24.Former Redding brass dry McDermott was beaten at his return at the
:18:24. > :18:33.Madejski Stadium last night. Adam Le Fondre scored a 94 minutes goal last
:18:33. > :18:37.night. Royston Drenthe's free kick was converted. It means that it is
:18:37. > :18:43.the successive clean sheet for Nigel Adkins's men.
:18:43. > :18:48.We try and concentrate on the game. I have a lot of time for this
:18:48. > :18:52.football club. Our fans were fantastic tonight, I am gutted for
:18:52. > :18:57.them. The most important thing is to get a result.
:18:57. > :19:01.AFC Bournemouth has announced that Jeff Mostyn is to be their new
:19:01. > :19:06.chairman. He was previously chairman in the past, seen the club through
:19:06. > :19:09.the administration. He told the BBC last week that he would be
:19:09. > :19:12.interested in the role. He succeeds Eddie Mitchell who stepped down
:19:12. > :19:17.earlier this month. And Portsmouth has style —— has signed John
:19:17. > :19:23.Marquis. Meanwhile, Sir Ben Ainslie was back
:19:23. > :19:27.on the water last night, but unable to prevent Oracle USA from losing to
:19:27. > :19:34.the New Zealand. It is the America's Cup, the oldest ongoing sailing
:19:34. > :19:38.contest. He had been drafted into the boat, but it was a difficult
:19:38. > :19:42.contest. The New Zealand now just need one more win to take the
:19:42. > :19:47.trophy, it could do so tonight. If you have ever had a bit of unwanted
:19:47. > :19:52.office furniture, you may have taken it to the second—hand shop.
:19:52. > :19:56.It may even end up in a skip. That is what happened seven years ago
:19:56. > :20:00.when Portsmouth Football Club decided that they wanted to revamp
:20:00. > :20:10.their furniture. However, there furniture was very expensive. Here
:20:10. > :20:13.is the story. On the Antiques road show, there
:20:13. > :20:20.will be a set of chairs that'll make many sit up and take notice. They
:20:20. > :20:24.are a piece of Portsmouth's history, made for HMS Warrior. The chairs
:20:24. > :20:29.were eventually donated by the Royal Navy to Portsmouth but bookclub. In
:20:29. > :20:38.2006, they were chucked out as the boardroom was redesigned.
:20:38. > :20:43.To my horror, bees and the table were in a skip. Literally in a skip.
:20:43. > :20:50.It is part of the history of the football club.
:20:50. > :20:54.Is why did they end up in a skip? Apparently, the club's wealthy
:20:54. > :21:02.Russian owner, Sacha Gaydamack, wanted time —— wanted a more modern
:21:02. > :21:07.boardroom. It was a frantic exercise. I had a
:21:07. > :21:10.phone call to say that I must get down in the next hour, because the
:21:10. > :21:17.team of builders were about to manage the boardroom. If it had been
:21:17. > :21:21.taken out, it would have been disposed to.
:21:21. > :21:24.This is what the owner wanted to recreate. The boardroom lost its
:21:25. > :21:29.history, but the chairs have been stored away for years.
:21:29. > :21:33.It was as a prize when we heard about them appearing on the show,
:21:34. > :21:37.but will we were aware that these table and chairs had been missing
:21:37. > :21:44.for some time. Under previous ownership, eggs have disappeared. We
:21:44. > :21:49.are in the recess of trying to recover these things. We will be
:21:49. > :21:53.interested in what the club have to say about these things.
:21:53. > :21:57.It was said that Churchill used one of these chairs when the set was
:21:57. > :22:04.moved during wartime. A distinguished Derry air in these
:22:04. > :22:12.chairs with a long history. We can't tell you how much those
:22:12. > :22:16.chairs are worth. What you think? I think £500 each. I will go higher,
:22:17. > :22:22.particularly with the reference to Churchill. I was a £1000 each. If
:22:22. > :22:30.you want to know, you can find out on the antiques programme on Sunday
:22:30. > :22:33.at 8pm. We will move to the weather.
:22:33. > :22:40.I have to say, a national newspaper said that it would be a 75 degrees
:22:40. > :22:44.weekends, an Indian summer. An Indian summer is more likely later
:22:44. > :22:51.in October and in November. Not now. We are looking to a warm
:22:51. > :22:57.weekend. Martin Curtis took this picture of seagulls waiting for a
:22:57. > :23:01.ferry in Southampton today. And Sloes destined to make the
:23:01. > :23:09.Christmas gin work photographed by Andy Blakemore. And rain drops on a
:23:09. > :23:11.rose in the garden in Surrey. It was a soggy day, but the rain did
:23:11. > :23:23.disappear. Some evening sunshine, with skies
:23:23. > :23:27.staying quite clear. There will be increasing cloud for northern areas,
:23:27. > :23:33.but in the countryside, cold temperatures. It will be five or six
:23:33. > :23:39.Celsius. These are the temperatures in the towns and cities, nine or 12
:23:39. > :23:44.degrees. There will be some sunshine on offer tomorrow. I can't promise
:23:44. > :23:50.wall to wall sunshine, but in the sun, temperatures will be higher
:23:50. > :23:55.than today. We will see highs of 15 to 17 Celsius, and the winds will be
:23:55. > :23:59.lighter than today. So a lovely end to the day tomorrow, some late
:23:59. > :24:05.evening sunshine. And high pressure continues to build in from the
:24:05. > :24:10.Atlantic. The gig uses, it will be dry and settled. There will perhaps
:24:10. > :24:14.be more cloud than sign at the weekend, although there will be
:24:14. > :24:21.sunny spells in the south. There will be an East West splits on
:24:21. > :24:26.Sunday, with the wind is quite light. For eastern areas, they
:24:26. > :24:30.warfare better. You will see more sunshine in these places and the
:24:30. > :24:35.wind coming in from the consonants. So, for events taking place this
:24:35. > :24:40.weekend, the weather will not be too bad. Here are two of the events
:24:40. > :24:46.taking place. The first, Old Skool Dayz, one of Britain's biggest
:24:46. > :24:56.skateboard events. I am told that some over 50s are taking part. Also
:24:56. > :25:01.on, is SO:FEST this Saturday. For the rest of the week and the
:25:01. > :25:05.weekend, we can expect sunshine. After a cloudy start, there will be
:25:06. > :25:12.slightly more cloud on sunshine on Saturday. We will see some breaks
:25:12. > :25:18.appearing in the cloud, more likely the further east you are on the Isle
:25:18. > :25:23.of Wight. And then Sunday is the best day of the weekend. The warm
:25:23. > :25:28.conditions, temperatures will stay with us until next week. We have a
:25:28. > :25:34.good story to finish with. Toy cars, they were a favourite of
:25:34. > :25:36.many boys growing up. But one boy has got a special vehicle in his
:25:36. > :25:43.collection. Yes, pupils at Saint Andrews school
:25:43. > :25:47.where the Duchess of Cambridge was a pupil were asked to design a car to
:25:47. > :25:55.commemorate the birth of Prince George.
:25:55. > :26:03.The Royals are fond of corgis, and the pupils here have made sure that
:26:03. > :26:10.this one will be no different. When I was walking with my mum, I
:26:10. > :26:14.saw a car. I thought that maybe we could do that.
:26:14. > :26:19.The Duchess of Cambridge was a pupil at St Andrews. She even returned for
:26:19. > :26:24.a hockey match before Prince George was born. After looking through
:26:24. > :26:31.hundreds of designs, the company chose James's pram.
:26:31. > :26:36.We have 500 of these minis. We as a company have sold out.
:26:37. > :26:42.As well as the toy that will be rolling out from the production
:26:42. > :26:48.line, Corgi have presented James with this, the preproduction model.
:26:48. > :26:52.It is the prototype. In car collection terms, it is very
:26:52. > :26:57.valuable. James chose the colours, too.
:26:57. > :27:00.Now his work has been appraised by the toughest of critics, his
:27:00. > :27:11.classmates. It looks very small. Did you do
:27:11. > :27:15.one? Mine was a rabbit. I like the wheels.
:27:15. > :27:18.So, a new carriage for royal appointments. But surely a
:27:19. > :27:25.seven—year—old boy will not leave a car in its box? I will keep them in
:27:25. > :27:36.nice. You're not being to race them? No.
:27:36. > :27:42.He is a bright boy. A very good job. That is it from us for today. An
:27:42. > :27:43.update at 10:25pm. We will be back tomorrow goodbye.
