:01:32. > :01:50.or substance abuse. Good evening. During the day, the
:01:51. > :01:58.cold streets here seem enchanting, but during the evening, they can be
:01:59. > :02:03.very uninviting. The middle of winter fuel is even worse when you

:05:07. > :05:15.There are pressures over drug use, alcohol and mental health. It is not

:05:20. > :05:23.difficult. What needs to change? Is there sufficient coordination
:05:24. > :05:31.between the various services? We need to see what works for certain
:05:32. > :05:35.things. What works for mental health does not necessarily work for a
:05:36. > :05:41.rough sleepers. We need to sit down together and find new solutions.
:05:42. > :05:48.Other complicating factors in that? Austerity plays a big part. There
:05:49. > :05:52.has been a lot of cuts across many services. Everyone is trying to do

:12:42. > :12:48.the camel's back for an awful lot of businesses in the town that
:12:49. > :12:50.are struggling already. The tax is based on the yearly rent
:12:51. > :12:54.for which a property could be let and the so-called rateable value
:12:55. > :12:56.is reviewed by the government every five years, to reflect changes

:17:34. > :17:41.of a South West painter. John Shapland was prolific and, yet,
:17:42. > :17:43.forgotten - until now. Andrea Ormsby has been having
:17:44. > :17:46.a flick through a new book, Exeter's Lost Artist,
:17:47. > :17:48.which is the culmination of 40 years The life and work of John Shapland,
:17:49. > :18:02.recorded forever in this book. Shapland, his wife and their 12
:18:03. > :18:04.children lived in Exeter. What you're looking at is just
:18:05. > :18:10.a small collection of some of the items that was actually found
:18:11. > :18:13.in the John Shapland studio. Across the floor was paintings,
:18:14. > :18:15.etchings, picture frames, For years, the artist
:18:16. > :18:36.and his family travelled all over the country in an open-top
:18:37. > :18:38.car, painting hundreds and hundreds of scenes.
:18:39. > :18:40.He called them brunotypes. These are what you would
:18:41. > :18:42.really need to see. This was the end result
:18:43. > :18:44.of the family's work. What you're looking at here,
:18:45. > :18:46.with the brunotypes, nobody knows of their existence.
:18:47. > :18:48.This is a revelation. We are seeing scenes
:18:49. > :18:50.that will have changed beyond all recognition,
:18:51. > :18:52.some of them, so they are very nostalgic.
:18:53. > :18:54.They are also historic. The work will go on show
:18:55. > :19:01.at an exhibition in March at the newly-opened
:19:02. > :19:05.Exeter School of Art. John Shapland was the headmaster
:19:06. > :19:07.of Exeter School of Art back in the turn of the century,
:19:08. > :19:11.so rediscovering all the works and having all of the artefacts that
:19:12. > :19:15.Peter has unearthed and presented in his book and at the exhibition
:19:16. > :19:19.is going to be a really important and exciting connection
:19:20. > :19:21.with the past, as we look For those interested in art,
:19:22. > :19:29.the author says this book will be a revelation and can be considered
:19:30. > :19:47.as quite a coup for the South West. Good to see he is getting some
:19:48. > :19:51.recognition at last. Plymouth Argyle finally appear
:19:52. > :19:53.to have the funding for their It may please the fans, who rely
:19:54. > :19:57.on the increasingly out-of-date 1950s stand, and it could
:19:58. > :19:59.also help to transform But it is not the first time such
:20:00. > :20:03.an announcement has been made, as our business correspondent

:20:28. > :20:35.Plymouth Argyle. Not just the bigger stand, but conference facilities, as
:20:36. > :20:38.well. We should bring income even on non-match days. Today's announcement
:20:39. > :20:45.is possible because of further investment from the most important
:20:46. > :20:53.overseas supporter. I first came here in 1966. I stood at that end. I
:20:54. > :21:01.left at the age of 18 to go to university. I have been following
:21:02. > :21:05.the mother since. This is a labour of love. This has been a long time
:21:06. > :21:10.coming. We have been planning this ever since we took over the club
:21:11. > :21:15.five years ago, so it is a very important day. The club chairman has
:21:16. > :21:18.not only been planning it, he is also announced that before. There is
:21:19. > :21:26.an aspiration to finish off the stadium. We will start work in
:21:27. > :21:31.autumn this year. We will be in a position to do that and that is what
:21:32. > :21:37.we are certainly planning. I am not going to make the mistake of
:21:38. > :21:43.committing to another date. Their skin never took least because it
:21:44. > :21:48.relied on income from commercial outlets which never took place. This
:21:49. > :21:55.is being funded by additional investment. In other words, you can
:21:56. > :22:01.see where the money is coming from? Exactly. I am an investment
:22:02. > :22:06.professional by trade. The new investment today is clearly not been
:22:07. > :22:10.made on commercial terms. This is being made on soft terms. This is my
:22:11. > :22:17.contribution to Plymouth Argyle and to the city. A few years ago, all
:22:18. > :22:23.that matters was for it to survive, first as a business and then as a
:22:24. > :22:26.weak side. Both of these objectives have no been achieved and this could
:22:27. > :22:28.be the moment that opens a door into a greater future for the club into
:22:29. > :22:30.the 21st century. A new stadium is something
:22:31. > :22:33.for Pilgrims fans to look forward to in the longer term,
:22:34. > :22:35.but more immediately excitement is building for their FA Cup match
:22:36. > :22:38.against Liverpool this weekend. Tickets for the game are now
:22:39. > :22:40.highly sought after, so when one of the players,
:22:41. > :22:42.Paul Arnold Garita, decided to hide five of them around the city today,
:22:43. > :22:52.it prompted a frantic search. Here are the magic tickets. Good
:22:53. > :23:37.luck, everyone. And we will meet some of the winners
:23:38. > :23:41.lucky enough to find the tickets Did you know that was one head in
:23:42. > :23:53.here? I did not, as Charlie! Now, it might not be spring yet,
:23:54. > :23:56.but spring has certainly sprung This ewe has given birth to quads
