Hello, good evening, I'm Tom Hepworth.

:00:08.:00:10.

An investigation's underway after a fire on

:00:11.:00:12.

Tens of thousands of pounds worth of damage was caused to small

:00:13.:00:17.

businesses on the site in Soberton Heath near Wickham.

:00:18.:00:21.

At it's height, 70 firefighters from across the county fought thd flames.

:00:22.:00:27.

These guys, you know, work week`to`week

:00:28.:00:29.

they're not conglomerates.

:00:30.:00:31.

They haven't got shareholders and fast, sort of, resources.

:00:32.:00:33.

Their livelihoods have just gone up in smoke in what is, sort of,

:00:34.:00:36.

How do you build houses which stay dry in a high flood risk arda?

:00:37.:00:49.

One answer could be to build homes that float.

:00:50.:00:51.

That's what's being proposed as part of a larger developlent

:00:52.:00:54.

After this year's winter floods some developers believe flo`ting

:00:55.:01:00.

homes, like these in Holland, are long overdue in the UK.

:01:01.:01:03.

But Theale Lake is one of the most important sites

:01:04.:01:06.

for nightingales in the country and home to thousands of other species.

:01:07.:01:09.

This area has taken so many years to develop into what

:01:10.:01:11.

is now a very important sitd in Berkshire for wildlife in gdneral.

:01:12.:01:16.

And, to have a development like that would ruin

:01:17.:01:19.

This area was flooded to well over three feet deep this last whnter.

:01:20.:01:27.

If the thing gets built, and it s found not to work, it's too late.

:01:28.:01:31.

It's our ability to control the level of the water

:01:32.:01:34.

in the lake that will enabld our particular can`float hotses

:01:35.:01:37.

that we're very excited abott, to rise and fall with the w`ter

:01:38.:01:41.

Local planners and the Environment Agency will also need

:01:42.:01:44.

One of the south's biggest motorsport events has been

:01:45.:01:58.

Sunseeker pulled out as sponsors of the Rallye Dorset in March.

:01:59.:02:01.

Organisers say changes to the British Rally Championship,

:02:02.:02:03.

announced by the sport's governing body, has put the future of the

:02:04.:02:06.

It's 35 years since steam enthusiasts brotght back

:02:07.:02:14.

passenger trains on the Swanage Railway in Dorset.

:02:15.:02:16.

The line was closed by Brithsh Rail in 1972, but volunteers havd

:02:17.:02:19.

gradually restored it to its former glory and re`connected it

:02:20.:02:22.

Steve Humphrey watched the celebrations.

:02:23.:02:31.

The powerful locomotive, Tornado, that was only built

:02:32.:02:33.

a few years ago, has been the centrepiece of this weekend s

:02:34.:02:36.

She's running on a Dorset branch line that's been

:02:37.:02:41.

Their efforts have been getting plenty of praise from visitors.

:02:42.:02:47.

It's a legacy that we leave to the future generations.

:02:48.:02:50.

It's something that they'll all appreciate.

:02:51.:02:54.

It's absolutely Trojan work on behalf of those pioneers, isn't it?

:02:55.:02:58.

It puts British Rail to shale, doesn't it?

:02:59.:03:01.

British Rail shut the Swanage branch line in 0972

:03:02.:03:04.

but within a short time the volunteers were rebuildhng it.

:03:05.:03:07.

This weekend, some of those original pioneers were given special awards.

:03:08.:03:11.

People think this has always been here.

:03:12.:03:13.

It's very easy to think that now, that some of these things look so...

:03:14.:03:17.

as though they have been here all the time, they haven't!

:03:18.:03:20.

Some of us know what we've had to do to get it here.

:03:21.:03:24.

Last year, 210,000 people travelled on the Swanage Rahlway.

:03:25.:03:26.

It makes a major contribution to Dorset's tourist industry,

:03:27.:03:28.

The railway's next target is to get regular passenger services running

:03:29.:03:33.

up to Wareham so people can connect with trains

:03:34.:03:36.

on the national rail network, hopefully by autumn of next year.

:03:37.:03:38.
