:00:13. > :00:16.Food hygiene concerns ` a BBC investigation raises questions about
:00:17. > :00:21.standards at one of our main tourist resorts. It is feared that fewer
:00:22. > :00:33.inspections in Torbay could lead to potential health issues. In food
:00:34. > :00:37.businesses, you stand a good chance of missing standards as they develop
:00:38. > :00:44.and that can lead to potential cases of food poisoning. Also tonight:
:00:45. > :00:49.trouble in Troon as a 20 foot hole opens up in the street. It is
:00:50. > :00:52.thought that long`standing problems with mining channels have caused the
:00:53. > :00:54.collapse. The lollipop mild threatened with suspension for
:00:55. > :01:03.high`fiving children has left his job. There is a warning tonight that
:01:04. > :01:06.people's health could be put at risk by a failure to meet hygiene
:01:07. > :01:09.inspection targets in one of the region's main tourist resorts.
:01:10. > :01:12.Torbay Council says it doesn't have the resources to regularly inspect
:01:13. > :01:15.every food premises but tests carried out by the BBC's Inside Out
:01:16. > :01:18.South West programme have revealed potential food safety issues at more
:01:19. > :01:31.than a third of the businesses sampled in the bay.
:01:32. > :01:38.This builder 's shopping list is a short one. I am not allowed to drink
:01:39. > :01:45.red wine or eat white bread. He has an interval bowel condition caused
:01:46. > :01:52.by Salmonella. He came down with the bug after a hog roast two years ago.
:01:53. > :01:59.I just basically wanted to die at the end of the day because I felt so
:02:00. > :02:05.ill. It is the job of the local authorities to police food hygiene
:02:06. > :02:09.but in July, Torbay abandoned the National targets for inspecting all
:02:10. > :02:14.its food premises. This mild is a specialist and he says that is a
:02:15. > :02:18.risky policy. By not inspecting food businesses, you stand a good chance
:02:19. > :02:27.of missing for standards as they develop and that can lead on to
:02:28. > :02:32.potential cases of food poisoning. We wanted to get a snapshot of
:02:33. > :02:37.hygienic standards in Torbay so Richard collected food samples from
:02:38. > :02:41.14 different outlets and have them tested for a group of organisms,
:02:42. > :02:46.some of which can be harmful. The tests do not reveal whether the
:02:47. > :02:51.dangerous bugs are present but high`level foreign indicator of
:02:52. > :02:56.possible for hygiene practices. The results of five samples came back as
:02:57. > :03:01.unsatisfactory. How concerning our results? Of the five that are
:03:02. > :03:06.unsatisfactory, that is concerning because the local authority have a
:03:07. > :03:12.job to do and keeping an eye on all of its food businesses across the
:03:13. > :03:14.area. Torbay says it will target inspections on the highest risk
:03:15. > :03:23.businesses because it simply cannot afford to visit every premises. We
:03:24. > :03:28.need more resources and we can only do so much with what we have at the
:03:29. > :03:32.moment. The council told us it would be following up the tests with its
:03:33. > :03:34.own checks and pointed out that 80% of food businesses here have
:03:35. > :03:38.achieved the best of hygiene ratings.
:03:39. > :03:42.You can see more on the story on tonight's Inside Out programme here
:03:43. > :03:45.on BBC One at 7:30. As we heard, Torbay Council says it
:03:46. > :03:49.doesn't have the resources to carry out all the inspections. Like all
:03:50. > :03:52.councils, it is having to make cuts and that has reopened the debate
:03:53. > :03:56.about its unitary status and whether it is too small to meet all its
:03:57. > :03:59.obligations. There are even suggestions that there should be
:04:00. > :04:11.just one super council serving the whole of Devon, including Torbay.
:04:12. > :04:16.Binns, beaches and books, three jobs done by unitary councils like
:04:17. > :04:20.Cornwall and Torbay, but is it all too much for a small authority like
:04:21. > :04:25.Torbay? Does it need help from a bigger cancelled? We could
:04:26. > :04:30.amalgamate and get some good ideas and bring everything together. A
:04:31. > :04:40.bigger body coming in and taking charge I'd be the making of Torbay.
:04:41. > :04:43.A few days ago, the leader of Devon County Council, faced with ?100
:04:44. > :04:51.million of cuts, said this about his neighbouring authority. Torbay has
:04:52. > :04:58.asked to be taken back over. I have reservations on that. Later, he
:04:59. > :05:02.issued a statement saying that was not the best choice of phrase and
:05:03. > :05:06.arguing councils in Devon need to work together to save money. In
:05:07. > :05:12.Torbay 's case, that is ?10 million this year. But the mild in charge,
:05:13. > :05:17.it is difficult but not desperate. We work with our neighbours, we work
:05:18. > :05:22.with Devon, we do not want to be taken over and nor do other local
:05:23. > :05:28.authorities because people want to see local authorities provide the
:05:29. > :05:34.services. Others feel Torbay Council is simply doing too much. Part of
:05:35. > :05:38.the problem now is the fact that we are trying to do everything
:05:39. > :05:42.ourselves when they could be doing things much better in partnership
:05:43. > :05:46.with others. What partnership means is open to debate but given the
:05:47. > :05:50.financial situation facing councils in the south`west, it is a
:05:51. > :05:53.discussion that could start some. Part of a street near Camborne in
:05:54. > :05:57.Cornwall has collapsed into an underground shaft. The huge hole
:05:58. > :06:02.which is around five metres deep opened up at New Street in Troon at
:06:03. > :06:05.the end of last week. A long`term Cornwall Council project is underway
:06:06. > :06:08.in the area to clear out an old mine adit and underpin a number of
:06:09. > :06:12.houses. Spotlight's David George has been given access to the shafts and
:06:13. > :06:21.tunnels which are thought to be more than 300 years old.
:06:22. > :06:24.This is New Street in the village of Troon. Some of the Victorian
:06:25. > :06:32.terraced houses here have unusual and unwanted features. Here, Bill
:06:33. > :06:36.Ingram of number 22. We were taking out loose material from under the
:06:37. > :06:41.property and found a big void underneath which is down here. That
:06:42. > :06:50.goes down onto the ad. How deep is that? About four metres. The new
:06:51. > :06:53.floor level, a drainage tunnel. The blocked tunnel flooded and has
:06:54. > :06:58.caused subsidence and enormous damage to some of the houses. A
:06:59. > :07:02.long`term project, paid for by the government and Cornwall Council is
:07:03. > :07:08.underway to clear the added and make the houses safe. At the end of last
:07:09. > :07:15.week, part of the road collapsed. All that was holding that road up
:07:16. > :07:18.was about 400 millilitres of dirt and then the tarmac holding it
:07:19. > :07:24.together. It is a good thing we found that and are sorting it out
:07:25. > :07:29.before something fell in. Neighbours had campaigned for years for
:07:30. > :07:34.something to be done. A bit alarmed but at the same time, you just
:07:35. > :07:43.think, the house has not moved while I have lived here. One never knows.
:07:44. > :07:46.Engineers took us and Cornish mining historian Alan Buckley into the
:07:47. > :07:51.added to see what had caused the collapse. The area has hundreds of
:07:52. > :07:59.miles of tunnels and adults like this. It is the shafts that the old
:08:00. > :08:07.miners drove up through the rest of this which are causing problems up
:08:08. > :08:19.in New Street above here. It is broadly early 18th`century. It would
:08:20. > :08:22.give them ventilation while they were driving it but it also means
:08:23. > :08:28.they could hoist a broken material out quite easily. It was originally
:08:29. > :08:33.blocked to provide a freshwater supply for residents of the then
:08:34. > :08:40.newly built houses in 1880. Google people used this access path to
:08:41. > :08:44.bring barrels of freshwater out of the tunnel. The council says the
:08:45. > :08:48.project to make the area safe is due to be completed by the end of next
:08:49. > :08:52.month. A Devon firm is in line for a business boost when it takes on work
:08:53. > :08:55.that in recent years has been done in China.
:08:56. > :08:57.The change in fortunes for Devonia Sheepskins and Tannery at
:08:58. > :09:11.Buckfastleigh reflects a rise in Chinese manufacturing gusts.
:09:12. > :09:14.This tannery on the edge of Dartmoor is going to be used by its parent
:09:15. > :09:19.company to produce a range of sheepskins that up to now where
:09:20. > :09:22.being turned out in China. China used to be cheaper for this work but
:09:23. > :09:28.rising gusts there have eroded that advantage. On top of which, there
:09:29. > :09:34.are obvious practical advantages to sourcing products in Britain. We are
:09:35. > :09:37.able to get our customers from London to come down and look at the
:09:38. > :09:43.scheme and say, this is what we are looking for. In a can take what they
:09:44. > :09:49.need. They do not have to go into a container to go back overseas but
:09:50. > :09:53.they can go straight through in a matter of days. Nice to see
:09:54. > :09:58.production coming back to Britain? Very excited about it. A change is
:09:59. > :10:04.now underway with our relationship to China. It is something that
:10:05. > :10:12.always happens sooner or later with developing economies. As their wages
:10:13. > :10:16.get closer to ours, the difference starts to reverse and transport
:10:17. > :10:20.gusts become more important, so we can compete with those companies
:10:21. > :10:25.now. Sheepskin production coming back to the UK from China, an
:10:26. > :10:31.interesting reversal and by no means the only one of its kind, but it is
:10:32. > :10:37.not the overall tide of production going to China has turned. Here in
:10:38. > :10:44.Plymouth, a workplace that is as different from the tannery as you
:10:45. > :10:48.could possibly imagine. They have a technological fix through which has
:10:49. > :10:55.global potential. They knew that they need to be doing at least some
:10:56. > :10:59.of the manufacturing in China. These researchers have come up with a new
:11:00. > :11:03.way of making LEDs for lighting at no cost. The clever bit of the
:11:04. > :11:06.manufacturing is done here in Plymouth and then they ship it out
:11:07. > :11:14.to factories in China for other components to be added. In a new
:11:15. > :11:19.twist, they have been having talks with Chinese industrialists about
:11:20. > :11:23.setting up joint tenure `` joint`venture productions. They want
:11:24. > :11:29.to sell their lighting into Chinese cities but experience suggests China
:11:30. > :11:34.is a very difficult market to import goods into from the West. They will
:11:35. > :11:41.take the product initially but eventually they will form their own
:11:42. > :11:49.technology. They all copy it. The strategy is to go there with
:11:50. > :11:53.joint`venture partner and build the factory for the Chinese market. As
:11:54. > :11:59.China develops further, manufacturers of everything will
:12:00. > :12:02.increasingly see it not so much as one vast factory but one vast
:12:03. > :12:08.market. Coming up: why high`fives landed a
:12:09. > :12:11.lollipop mild in trouble. A setback for Olympic legacy at the Weymouth
:12:12. > :12:18.and Portland National Sailing Academy. Coming up, stay with us to
:12:19. > :12:26.see what the view is like from the top of this chimney stack.
:12:27. > :12:29.A lollipop mild in Plymouth has left his job after being threatened with
:12:30. > :12:33.suspension for high`fiving children as they crossed the road. Pensioner
:12:34. > :12:38.Bob Slade had carried out the role for four years. The City Council
:12:39. > :12:45.says patrols can be friendly but their full attention must be on the
:12:46. > :12:52.road. This is the route near the primary
:12:53. > :12:57.school where lollipop mild Bob Slade would high`5 some pupils as they
:12:58. > :13:02.crossed the road. But a caution from the council saw him walk away from
:13:03. > :13:08.the job last month. You would imagine high`5 being some person
:13:09. > :13:15.putting up their hand and the other person hitting it. In this case, it
:13:16. > :13:19.was God he was holding up his lollipop stick, his other hand would
:13:20. > :13:27.be out and the children would hit his hand. I think it is just madness
:13:28. > :13:31.that we now have a safety issue because somebody was being friendly
:13:32. > :13:36.as part of their job. It is a very sad state that we have two appeal
:13:37. > :13:41.for a mild who we definitely need back. Nobody from the school wanted
:13:42. > :14:01.to comment but the council released a statement.
:14:02. > :14:07.The lollipop mild did not want to be interviewed. Parents and pupils are
:14:08. > :14:12.making their own way across this road without the help of a lollipop
:14:13. > :14:18.mild. The council says they are recruiting for somebody to replace
:14:19. > :14:22.him. We would like to hear what you think
:14:23. > :14:31.about that. We already have comments coming in through our this page. ``
:14:32. > :14:34.our Facebook page. More motorists aged over 50 are
:14:35. > :14:38.drink`driving in Devon and Cornwall than most other parts of the
:14:39. > :14:42.country. A Freedom of information request to all police forces shows
:14:43. > :14:45.Devon and Cornwall in the top worst five. The south`west is also a
:14:46. > :14:53.hotspot for over 75's drink driving. The figures are for 2010 to 2012.
:14:54. > :14:57.The Energy Minister Ed Davey has told the BBC that a deal to build
:14:58. > :15:00.new nuclear power station in Somerset is extremely close.
:15:01. > :15:04.Ministers have been negotiating with EDF, the firm wanting to build
:15:05. > :15:12.Hinkley C, over the price it will receive for the electricity it
:15:13. > :15:17.generates. Managers at Launceston hospital are
:15:18. > :15:20.to reopen ten beds at the unit. The beds had been closed because of
:15:21. > :15:24.staff shortages. New staff are being taken on and all 20 beds should be
:15:25. > :15:27.back in use by November. The Olympic sailing legacy left by
:15:28. > :15:31.the 2012 games at Weymouth and Portland has suffered a setback. The
:15:32. > :15:35.Sale Laser Centre on Portland at the South of the Olympic venue will
:15:36. > :15:45.close from the start of December. It is hoped another company can be
:15:46. > :15:49.found to take its place. The Olympics will be remembered as
:15:50. > :15:56.one of the greatest events ever to happen in Dorset. There was great
:15:57. > :16:01.celebration as it was selected as the sailing venue and then when
:16:02. > :16:05.London was selected itself. One Word that kept occurring was legacy. The
:16:06. > :16:15.legacy the Olympics will lead is really phenomenal. It is absolutely
:16:16. > :16:23.amazing, fantastic news. We are still excited and we cannot contain
:16:24. > :16:27.ourselves. Part of that legacy has been the laser sailing centre here
:16:28. > :16:30.at the National sailing Academy. It has been providing easy access for
:16:31. > :16:37.the sport, encouraging people to try it. But the company is restructuring
:16:38. > :16:42.its business to provide franchises and will leave here in December.
:16:43. > :16:46.They say they will honour all of its commitments and obligations until
:16:47. > :16:50.it's closing date in December. It says it is working closely with the
:16:51. > :16:54.Academy to ensure the trip transition runs smoothly. 5,000
:16:55. > :16:58.sailors have been through here this year alone. Work is underway to dry
:16:59. > :17:03.and fine a new operator to take it over.
:17:04. > :17:08.The High Court has decided not to look into plans for 1,500 homes on
:17:09. > :17:12.the edge of Truro. The council had wanted judges to examine Cornwall
:17:13. > :17:17.Council was my decision to approve the homes and school and hotel. The
:17:18. > :17:25.project will link to a new stadium for Cornwall. The Exeter Chiefs made
:17:26. > :17:35.light of the big names that came there this weekend. Not such good
:17:36. > :17:41.news in football though. If we can start with the rugby. The result of
:17:42. > :17:47.the weekend? A fantastic result. This Cardiff Blues had lots of great
:17:48. > :17:59.players but the chief just blew them away. This is another guy who has
:18:00. > :18:05.been catching the eye of some selectors at the moment. A mild of
:18:06. > :18:14.the match performance from him. `` mild of the match performance. They
:18:15. > :18:19.will not be happy with this one. He makes them look like schoolboys. It
:18:20. > :18:28.was all over for Cardiff. The award for the easiest try. What a
:18:29. > :18:36.celebration! It is almost like he is running from 50 yards! Here, the
:18:37. > :18:44.referee takes a tumble. In fairness to the referee, he got up quicker
:18:45. > :18:51.than some footballers do! That brings us to the football. Exeter
:18:52. > :18:57.City, not such a great result. Hartlepool made monkeys out of them!
:18:58. > :19:05.Yes, a bad day at the office for Exeter. The mild of the match was
:19:06. > :19:25.Jack Compton. It was just one traffic really. Look James fits in
:19:26. > :19:32.with a bit of help. It went too long, too often. Plymouth Argyle,
:19:33. > :19:39.the only side not to lose. A fair result for them? A fair result.
:19:40. > :19:50.Plymouth probably should have edged it on chances but because they had
:19:51. > :19:59.been sober, a drop was not bad. `` they had been so sure. The momentum
:20:00. > :20:13.was killed and they could not quite get it. Away now to Torquay. They
:20:14. > :20:21.will feel hard done by? Especially being in the lead. They should have
:20:22. > :20:30.been 3`0 up at half`time. The defending was poor on the day. How
:20:31. > :20:41.the referee or a linesman did not see this, it was ridiculous. Very
:20:42. > :20:47.scruffy goal. A very good header. But they could not hold on. This is
:20:48. > :20:58.a manager 's nightmare. There are struggling at the moment. Come on
:20:59. > :21:03.Torquay! We can say that rugby reigns supreme in the south`west
:21:04. > :21:10.this weekend. A clean sweep for the clubs. The Pirates won on Friday
:21:11. > :21:23.night. Three out of three. We need bigger goals. Your old Cardiff!
:21:24. > :21:28.If you have not got a head for heights, you may want to look away
:21:29. > :21:31.for this next item. The chimney which is part of Coldharbour Mill in
:21:32. > :21:34.Uffculme is being restored by steeplejacks so that the working
:21:35. > :21:46.museum can continue to fire up its two steam engines.
:21:47. > :21:50.It might look up at applying `` it might look like a climb up an
:21:51. > :21:56.average that but this mild is 70 feet up a chimney. This is 126 feet
:21:57. > :22:03.high and it is being given a face`lift. We are renewing the
:22:04. > :22:09.mortar of the top 30 feet of this chimp me because it has eroded to
:22:10. > :22:13.such a bad state. It was built in 1799 and ran as a commercial
:22:14. > :22:19.spinning mill until 1981. A year later it became a working museum.
:22:20. > :22:28.The mail is a listed building so we have a duty to look after it and
:22:29. > :22:35.preserve it. We have events throughout the year and when it is
:22:36. > :22:46.in steam, we need the chimney to be working. The stonework is coming
:22:47. > :22:50.away so we will have to repair that. The mill started with the spinning
:22:51. > :22:57.Jenny. Then in Georgian times, the apparatus got bigger. In Victorian
:22:58. > :23:00.times, the machines were more powerful and they could have many
:23:01. > :23:08.more of them, thanks to the power of steam. The mill often steps back in
:23:09. > :23:16.time. School trips is the resource as projects about Victorian times. I
:23:17. > :23:21.had experienced what it is like to be a Victorian child in the mills
:23:22. > :23:27.and doing all the hard work that you had to do. Some children had to come
:23:28. > :23:33.to work because their family had nothing to eat or because their
:23:34. > :23:40.family was sick. Girls were doing the same jobs as boys and they got
:23:41. > :23:45.less payment. Was that fair? No, I don't think that was fair. I wonder
:23:46. > :23:50.if in Victorian times, they had children climbing this chimney to
:23:51. > :24:07.clean it! I would rather look at it that way.
:24:08. > :24:14.Very brave! The weather is next. We have some milder air heading our
:24:15. > :24:18.way. But it is turning more and settled this week. We will see some
:24:19. > :24:24.rain. Higher temperatures by the end of the week but it also becomes a
:24:25. > :24:29.breezy. At the moment, we have an area of low pressure around Central
:24:30. > :24:34.prison. It has produced the rain that we saw this morning. It will
:24:35. > :24:47.move away from us in the next 24 hours. The big change as we move
:24:48. > :24:52.into Wednesday. No pressure and a low band of cloud and rain. It is
:24:53. > :24:55.moving quite fast so it will be ringing in the morning on Wednesday
:24:56. > :25:02.but it will be brighter for the afternoon. This is the centre of the
:25:03. > :25:10.area of low pressure. Our skies had cleared quite nicely. Earlier
:25:11. > :25:13.today, our cameraman was on rich toward Dorset and he caught a
:25:14. > :25:16.glimpse of some of the low cloud first thing this morning but also
:25:17. > :25:26.some of the blue sky later in the day. Some fantastic views of our
