Inside Out East

16/10/2017

Duration: 29 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One EastLatest broadcast: on BBC One Cambridgeshire

We go to Ipswich, parts of which are now a target for drug gangs coming in from London looking for new sales and bringing gang violence with them. We meet some of the young people being caught up and try and find out what can be done to stop the gangs. We ask what can be done to keep badminton at the top of its game after funding cuts. And, on 16 October 1987, the biggest storm in Britain in nearly 300 years brought levels of devastation not seen in centuries, killing 18 people. Michael Fish, the forecaster who had not predicted a hurricane coming, visits Copperas Wood in Essex, where John Hall had only just started working for Essex Wildlife Trust that night. Show less
