:00:10. > :00:14.The Chief Constable of Devon and Cornwall Police is leaving after
:00:14. > :00:18.five years in the job. Good evening. Stephen Otter has been offered a
:00:18. > :00:21.new role with the Inspectorate of Constabulary. We'll be live at
:00:21. > :00:26.force headquarters in Exeter. Also tonight - the desperate fight
:00:26. > :00:34.for work. As one company reveals it was overwhelmed by applications for
:00:34. > :00:41.just two posts, one job seeker describes the battle for work.
:00:41. > :00:44.is so scary. You have no idea until you walk into a place like a job
:00:44. > :00:47.centre what everybody else has to go through, it is just daunting.
:00:47. > :00:49.The councillors who have awarded themselves a big increase in
:00:49. > :00:53.allowances while many staff face a pay freeze.
:00:53. > :00:59.And back on track, the disused line reopened to take freight off the
:00:59. > :01:03.road and onto the railways. The chief constable of Devon and
:01:03. > :01:07.Cornwall Police is leaving his job. Stephen Otter has been appointed
:01:07. > :01:10.one of Her Majesty's Inspectors of Constabulary. His move comes at a
:01:10. > :01:12.time of great change for the force. Spotlight's home affairs
:01:12. > :01:20.correspondent, Simon Hall, joins us from force headquarters at
:01:20. > :01:28.Middlemoor in Exeter. What were the concerns about the Chief Constable
:01:28. > :01:31.leaving? Stephen Otter has been in charge of
:01:31. > :01:35.Devon and Cornwall Police for five years now and has adopted unending
:01:35. > :01:39.and listening style which has gone down well. His time has been
:01:39. > :01:43.remarkable for a lack of controversy and that at a time when
:01:43. > :01:48.he is coping with unprecedented change. Budget cuts mean he is
:01:48. > :01:54.losing hundreds of staff. He has also introduced a radical new ways
:01:54. > :01:57.of working. That is very much his baby so I think there will be
:01:57. > :02:00.concerns how that will continue with the man who dreamt up the
:02:00. > :02:06.vision they are leaving the force. And there is more change to come
:02:06. > :02:09.for the police, isn't there? Yes, we have the new elected police and
:02:09. > :02:14.crime commissioners coming in by November, but fundamentally
:02:14. > :02:18.different way of operating police forces. So, a lot of change go on
:02:18. > :02:21.for Devon and Cornwall Police at the moment which is worrying some.
:02:22. > :02:25.Thought obviously, the chief constable is a career policeman and
:02:26. > :02:30.his career will take into all places in the United Kingdom so we
:02:30. > :02:35.wish him well in his new appointment. However, the forces go
:02:35. > :02:38.through major change at this time we need strong leadership. My
:02:38. > :02:41.members are critical of the actual system and the fact that the
:02:41. > :02:46.introduction of a police commissioner means we will not have
:02:46. > :02:51.a new police -- chief constable appointed at this time. Tell us
:02:52. > :02:57.about his new job. It is a prestigious an important one. He
:02:57. > :03:00.was interviewed for the job by the policing Minister himself. The
:03:01. > :03:05.inspectorate oversee police forces and make sure they are officially
:03:05. > :03:09.and effectively run. What does the police authority have to say?
:03:09. > :03:12.have just been speaking to the chairman and he said he was glad
:03:12. > :03:18.that the talents of Stephen Otter had been recognised but sad to lose
:03:18. > :03:21.a man of such calibre. He did go on to say that he had other senior
:03:21. > :03:24.officers in Devon and Cornwall Police of great ability and talent
:03:24. > :03:30.and he was confident the force would continue to be run smoothly.
:03:30. > :03:33.We are planning to talk to Stephen Otter on a lunchtime news tomorrow
:03:33. > :03:37.and on the programme at 6:30pm. Unemployment has risen sharply
:03:37. > :03:41.across much of the South West, according to figures out today. In
:03:41. > :03:44.most places it's still below the national rate, but that gap is very
:03:44. > :03:47.clearly beginning to close. In a moment we'll find out which places
:03:47. > :03:53.are worst affected, but first this report, from Exeter, from our
:03:53. > :03:59.business correspondent, Neil Gallacher.
:03:59. > :04:02.Eight per dissent it used to redundancy. She was laid off from
:04:02. > :04:07.her job just before Christmas. wake up every morning thinking
:04:07. > :04:13.about how his ally good to get through this. Then I have to think
:04:13. > :04:21.of my husband of where we live. It is a knock-on effect. At the end of
:04:21. > :04:26.the day, it is on my mind all the time. Regency Wines in Exeter can
:04:26. > :04:31.testify to the toughness of the labour market. More than 250 people
:04:31. > :04:36.applied for two vacancies as van drivers. We were inundated from 9am
:04:36. > :04:43.in the morning, from going into the paper and onto the internet. After
:04:43. > :04:47.two weeks we had to stop taking applications because it had reached
:04:47. > :04:52.250 and we were so overwhelmed that we barely had time to go through
:04:52. > :04:56.all the CVs. Coming from the construction industry, there are
:04:56. > :04:59.lots of people being laid off. There are lots of people I know
:04:59. > :05:03.struggling for works or was amazed to get this job, especially after
:05:03. > :05:07.seeing how many people applied forehead. One discouraging thing
:05:07. > :05:11.about the unemployment figures today is that many job cuts that we
:05:11. > :05:14.know are coming in the public sector still have not been
:05:14. > :05:18.implemented yet. Place by place, then - who's worst
:05:18. > :05:23.affected at the moment? Bearing in mind the latest overall national
:05:23. > :05:29.picture is a claimant count rate of 3.9, which has stayed broadly flat:
:05:29. > :05:32.We saw rises in each of Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset. All of
:05:32. > :05:35.those places, as you can see, have still got rates below the national
:05:36. > :05:40.rate, but notice Cornwall is beginning to nudge up now within
:05:40. > :05:43.striking distance of it. In the two unitary authorities, Plymouth was
:05:43. > :05:46.noteable for seeing a fall this past month but Torbay saw yet
:05:47. > :05:53.another rise and retains the dubious honour of being the only
:05:53. > :05:58.place in the patch that's above the national rate. Which places are
:05:58. > :06:02.seen unemployment rise particularly fast here? Cornwall and Devon and
:06:02. > :06:06.counted, the raw bits of Devon, have seen a rise significantly
:06:06. > :06:11.steeper than the national rise. These are places that had been
:06:11. > :06:15.doing really well, doing well for consumers spend. They were trendy
:06:16. > :06:18.and upmarket but just in the last six to 12 months we have seen
:06:18. > :06:22.consumers spend finally being squeezed and that is shown up in
:06:22. > :06:28.the figures. We have just seen that Plymouth appeared to be bucking the
:06:28. > :06:33.trend. Why was it seeing a fall? do not think there has been any
:06:33. > :06:36.particular job creation in Plymouth. Lots of local agencies have come
:06:36. > :06:40.together in Plymouth for really big push to get your people off the
:06:40. > :06:43.dole. They are either going into specialised training or into
:06:43. > :06:48.workplace has to make them more employable to buy you do have to
:06:48. > :06:52.ask what will happen at the end of those schemes, will they go back on
:06:52. > :06:55.to the dull? With the at look as it is at the moment there does appear
:06:55. > :06:59.to be every danger of that. Councillors in Mid Devon have
:06:59. > :07:03.awarded themselves a pay rise of 23%. It means each councillor's
:07:03. > :07:06.basic allowance will go up by nearly �1,000 a year. In all, the
:07:06. > :07:09.decision will cost taxpayers an extra �50,000 pounds a year. The
:07:09. > :07:14.local government union, Unison, says it's not fair at a time when
:07:14. > :07:18.council staff are on a pay freeze. Spotlight's Amy Cole reports.
:07:18. > :07:21.A time of austerity? Some might well be questioning if that's the
:07:21. > :07:24.case at Mid Devon District Council, where councillors have accepted a
:07:24. > :07:34.pay increase of 23% - almost unheard of in the current public
:07:34. > :07:35.
:07:35. > :07:40.sector climate. There was some surprise on the streets of Tiverton
:07:40. > :07:44.today. I think it is excessive and ridiculous that this time, it sends
:07:44. > :07:47.out the wrong message. I can imagine if I was unemployed and
:07:47. > :07:51.struggling to feed my family and I hear that some of the councillors
:07:52. > :07:59.are giving themselves a 23% pay rise, he would not sit comfortably
:07:59. > :08:03.with me. But the council's conscience is clear. The leader of
:08:03. > :08:06.this �50 million a year organisation insists pay must go up
:08:06. > :08:13.in order to attract the best people and prevent the authority from
:08:13. > :08:18.floundering. It was clear that we had to attract more people to stand
:08:18. > :08:22.as candidates, I hope this will go some way towards addressing that.
:08:22. > :08:26.After this particular increase which think we will catch up with
:08:26. > :08:30.the dead than average, any future increases will be link completely
:08:30. > :08:34.with what over the staff may get. The local government union Unison
:08:34. > :08:43.says that's not fair, when the council's 500 staff have had a pay
:08:43. > :08:46.freeze. Members are agreed that councillors have accepted a 23% pay
:08:46. > :08:50.rise, knowing that their own positions are being cut we are
:08:50. > :08:56.constantly asked to make savings. Back on the streets of Tiverton,
:08:56. > :09:03.and there is still a feeling of incomprehension. It is the wrong
:09:03. > :09:09.time. Do it when they have got some money. We have to accept lower
:09:09. > :09:13.wages. So they should accept it as well. Today, to local government
:09:13. > :09:16.minister said his colleagues had seen cuts and caps to their
:09:16. > :09:21.salaries and that the council should think again.
:09:21. > :09:26.Thank you for your comments on this story. Mr Phillips, who lives in
:09:26. > :09:28.East Devon, says he's appalled. He goes on to say. It is particularly
:09:29. > :09:32.insensitive at this time and confirms what I suspected -
:09:32. > :09:35.councillors represent themselves. John says, how do these parasites,
:09:35. > :09:41.who claim to have their ratepayers' interests at heart, justify voting
:09:41. > :09:44.themselves a pay hike of outlandish proportion? And Maggie in
:09:44. > :09:47.Hawkchurch says, I would like to suggest that if the councillors are
:09:47. > :09:57.awarding themselves a bonus, we, who fund this rise ,should also get
:09:57. > :10:02.a bonus, in a reduction of our rates! Michael, who used to be a
:10:02. > :10:06.councillor in the 1980s, says, then it was the case of do the job
:10:06. > :10:11.because she wanted to help your constituents, not rake-off public
:10:11. > :10:14.money to subsidise one's own income. Thank you for all of your thoughts.
:10:14. > :10:18.An investigation is under way after an 81-year-old pedestrian was
:10:18. > :10:21.seriously injured when she was hit by a police van in Exeter. The
:10:21. > :10:24.woman was walking on Heavitree Road, near the police station, when the
:10:24. > :10:28.collision happened just after 7.30 this morning. The police say the
:10:28. > :10:30.vehicle was not responding to an emergency call at the time - the
:10:30. > :10:33.incident has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints
:10:33. > :10:36.Commission. The woman is still in hospital.
:10:36. > :10:40.A Cornish MP has again urged the Government to go back to the
:10:40. > :10:43.drawing board on its shake-up of the NHS. The Liberal Democrat MP
:10:43. > :10:50.for St Ives, Andrew George, told David Cameron in Prime Minister's
:10:50. > :10:56.Questions today that the changes are based on flawed information.
:10:56. > :11:00.year ago the prime minister told me that the recent fall the new health
:11:00. > :11:05.bill was simply that this country now has European levels of health
:11:05. > :11:10.spending but does not have European levels of success. Now that we know
:11:10. > :11:14.that is not the case, will the Prime Minister please Shell for
:11:14. > :11:19.disruptive and destructive Burl which is struggling in another
:11:19. > :11:22.place, go back to the coalition agreement and built up from there?
:11:22. > :11:29.David Cameron said the NHS plans are based on a wide consultation -
:11:29. > :11:32.and that the health service does need to be changed. He says it is
:11:32. > :11:37.not the case that we at outcomes that a less than some parts of
:11:37. > :11:42.Europe. I'm afraid, it is the case and in some cases we could be doing
:11:42. > :11:46.a lot better. To argue that the NHS simply needs money and not reform,
:11:46. > :11:49.I do not believe is right. Dorset MPs opposed to plans to close the
:11:49. > :11:52.helicopter search and rescue base on Portland say the Transport
:11:52. > :11:55.Secretary Justine Greening has promised to look into their
:11:55. > :11:59.concerns following a meeting with her this afternoon. The base is due
:11:59. > :12:01.to close in 2017, but campaigners fear that lives could be put at
:12:01. > :12:04.risk. Passengers will be able to fly
:12:04. > :12:07.direct from Newquay to two more UK destinations this summer. The
:12:07. > :12:11.airport is to launch weekly flights to Newcastle and Belfast from 5th
:12:11. > :12:14.May. The Exeter-based airline, Flybe, says the service is in
:12:14. > :12:17.response to customer demand. Still plenty to come in tonight's
:12:17. > :12:22.programme, including the 14-year- old from Totnes whose work has been
:12:23. > :12:27.snapped up by one of the world's leading technology giants. And the
:12:27. > :12:33.changing face of Plymouth. History as seen through the eyes of those
:12:33. > :12:37.who lived there. A newly re-opened railway line in
:12:37. > :12:40.Devon will keep hundreds of lorries off the region's roads. The four-
:12:40. > :12:45.mile track near Newton Abbot is being used to transport hundreds of
:12:45. > :12:48.tonnes of timber to North Wales. It's the first time wood has been
:12:48. > :12:58.moved by rail in Devon and Cornwall and each train load replaces 24
:12:58. > :12:59.
:12:59. > :13:04.lorry loads. Heavy lifting near Newton Abbot.
:13:04. > :13:07.For the first time, wood from Devon and Cornwall is being moved by rail.
:13:07. > :13:17.Once a week this train goes to North wales ladden with almost
:13:17. > :13:20.
:13:20. > :13:25.1,000 tonnes of timber. Basically, our train carries around 27
:13:25. > :13:28.lorryloads of Coimbra said that is taking 27 lorries from the M25. We
:13:28. > :13:35.tried to make things as efficient as possible and that is what we
:13:35. > :13:38.have done here. And there's plenty of wood to move. The region's
:13:38. > :13:48.forests have never been so busy. The deadly disease Sudden Oak Death
:13:48. > :13:55.means plenty of trees are being felled. Moving timber by train
:13:55. > :14:00.makes perfect sense. The rail is on the old branch line. The four mile
:14:00. > :14:04.stretch last saw freight trains 10 years ago. The cost of fuel going
:14:04. > :14:09.up has played a key part. It is still quite expensive to run a
:14:09. > :14:15.train but in comparison to running 30 lorries, the benefit is there,
:14:15. > :14:20.and also we are much more green it conscious now. Environment is a big
:14:20. > :14:25.issue where as many years ago it was not. And industry analysts
:14:25. > :14:30.expect more rail freight like this. There is a lot of traffic
:14:30. > :14:33.congestion, rail can guarantee delivery times much more easily.
:14:33. > :14:42.Customer-service is increased and the environmental benefits of rail
:14:42. > :14:48.are massive. Freight rail is not cheap. The engine for the strain
:14:48. > :14:58.cost �2 million alone, but a train a quarter of a mile long release
:14:58. > :15:00.
:15:00. > :15:03.the raids of dozens of lorries. Few would argue with that. New research
:15:03. > :15:06.shows supported housing for older people leads to longer life and
:15:06. > :15:09.better health and could save the NHS millions, but there's not
:15:10. > :15:13.enough to meet growing demand. In Extra Care Housing, people live
:15:13. > :15:15.independently but with the care they need. But while some South
:15:15. > :15:18.West councils are moving from traditional residential homes to
:15:18. > :15:28.extra care, others have no plans for more schemes. Sally Mountjoy
:15:28. > :15:29.
:15:29. > :15:34.reports. She only moved in last July, but 87
:15:34. > :15:41.year-old Peggy Holiday would not want to live anywhere else. She has

:15:56. > :16:00.has communal facilities like a restaurant and a lounge. The scheme
:16:00. > :16:05.is described as Extra Care Housing, where people over when their own
:16:06. > :16:10.apartments but get the care that they need. People live longer than
:16:10. > :16:14.they would otherwise, have fewer false and hospital admissions and
:16:14. > :16:18.cost the NHS and care services less. Researchers say that while the
:16:18. > :16:22.number of older people is increasing, there are not enough of
:16:22. > :16:27.these purpose-built homes. What we would like to see is a real growth
:16:27. > :16:32.in this market. At the moment, we think that less than 1% of older
:16:32. > :16:37.people, aged 65 and above, living Extra Care Housing. Some councils
:16:37. > :16:41.are committed to moving away from traditional residential care to
:16:41. > :16:45.Extra Care Housing, such as Plymouth and Devon, but others have
:16:45. > :16:50.no plans for new schemes. Peggy things or people should have a
:16:50. > :16:53.chance to get a home like hers for stop You may remember that
:16:53. > :16:56.yesterday we ran a story about Clive Venables, who lives in a
:16:56. > :16:59.listed house on Dartmoor. He's been served with an enforcement notice

:17:17. > :17:20.on Dartmoor to court over his windows will be more than the job
:17:21. > :17:24.is worth. Clive says, In these days of energy saving it is ridiculous
:17:24. > :17:27.that we are not allowed to use double glazed glass. Charles in

:17:30. > :17:33.these activities, when we are cutting essential services to the
:17:33. > :17:38.elderly and vunerable. Ian from Exmouth says, Have they not heard
:17:38. > :17:41.about discretion? Well, the Director of Planning at Dartmoor
:17:41. > :17:44.National Park Authority emailed us today in response to yesterday's
:17:44. > :17:47.story saying, We have a duty to consider all breaches of planning

:19:43. > :19:50.Secetary Michael Gove announced a shake-up of the IT curriculum in
:19:50. > :19:55.schools saying it was dull. Orion's Dad agrees. They are learning
:19:55. > :19:58.really fast. They can be way ahead of the cave and a think what
:19:58. > :20:01.schools be to do is give them somewhere they can really run with
:20:01. > :20:05.it. Yes, they have to learn the basics but they also need the
:20:05. > :20:13.chance to go their own way a little bit. Orion's company has already
:20:13. > :20:16.got clients in America as well as in the South West. I have done a
:20:16. > :20:23.lot off with first mentoring, which is where someone younger than you
:20:23. > :20:29.teaches you about the competing that they have grown up with,

:20:45. > :20:49.been charted in a new book which brings together old photographs
:20:49. > :20:53.belonging to people who have spent their lives in the city. Old cine
:20:53. > :20:56.film has also shown how Plymouth emerged from the ravages of the
:20:56. > :21:03.Second World War. Historian Chris Robinson has collated all the
:21:03. > :21:07.material, as Emma Ruminski reports. The buildings look familiar, but
:21:07. > :21:11.the buses are a giveaway - Royal Parade in the mid 1950s was almost
:21:11. > :21:14.complete. But post war Plymouth was still waiting for repairs to St
:21:14. > :21:20.Andrews Church and the Guildhall after being badly damaged during
:21:20. > :21:29.the war. This footage is part of a DVD of archive footage from the
:21:30. > :21:35.'50s and '60s, compiled by the historian Chris Robinson. People
:21:35. > :21:39.work enormously proud of post war Plummer. We were ahead of the game.
:21:39. > :21:44.We were able to pull strings that other towns and cities were not
:21:44. > :21:48.able to pull. When Royal Parade was pretty much completed, other
:21:48. > :21:51.dignitaries from around the country were coming here and saying, how
:21:51. > :21:55.did he do that? Some of the cine film and photographs have been
:21:55. > :22:01.given to Chris by Plymothians who played their part in the city's
:22:01. > :22:05.history. It Kitchen not just the official take on the history but
:22:05. > :22:08.the sort of thing that everybody was doing. Other bits of footage
:22:08. > :22:11.you might recognise are from the South west film and television
:22:11. > :22:20.archive and from the BBC. The latter caught some famous visitors
:22:20. > :22:24.on film at the beginning of the '60s. What do you think of it?
:22:24. > :22:34.is jolly nice. Can you guess from this photo which Radio Devon

:24:00. > :24:04.not look all that promising. We have a lot of cloud. The drizzle

:25:12. > :25:19.evening's forecast is for that band of rain to become more widespread
:25:19. > :25:25.and turned heavy. Breezy over the coast and headlands with overnight
:25:25. > :25:33.temperatures of 10 or 11 degrees. Tomorrow, a wet start for all of us.
