Description
Ocean Sound This Week, No. 47 Programme 47 of a weekly news and sports review called Ocean Sound This Week, broadcast by independent radio station Ocean Sound on 13 September 1987. Presented by PAUL EASTON. TRACK 1- KAREN WOODS reports on unannounced visit of Home Secretary, DOUGLAS HURD, to the Isle of Wight’s Albany, Parkhurst and Camp Hill prisons and poses the question: Is he boning up for the Law and Order debate at the forthcoming Conservative Party Conference?. HURD comments that the prisons appear to be very well run and that their privatisation does not form part of the Government’s general policy of selling off state run enterprises. However, advice could be taken from the private sector. Parkhurst’s Governor, REG WITHERS, speaks and takes the opportunity to lobby for Government cash for the rebuilding of Parkhurst’s A and D wings, damaged by riots. MARK FLANAGAN visits the Southampton Boat Show and interviews ROB PARKIN of Emsworth Sailing School on board a boat which visitors are being invited to try with the injunction Try a Boat - Get Afloat. PARKIN says that all sorts of boats are available for the public to try including Baracuda of Howards Way fame. TRACK 2- SIMON VIGAR attends press launch of Royal Naval Equipment Exhibition at Whale Island, Portsmouth and interviews Controller of Navy, Vice-Admiral SIR DEREK RIFFELL who explains that the exporting of arms helps to keep down our own defence costs. ADAM HARDING attends the Romsey Show and interviews ANABELLE SMITH whose 15 year old daughter is riding in the Hunter Pony Class Competition. SMITH says that a pony must have good manners. There is no money to be made out of competing in these events. ZELDA BLAKEY interviews Isle of Wight Crime Prevention Officer, Sgt DAVE ROBERTS, regarding Ryde’s Neighbourhood Watch Scheme organised by ALICE WARREN. [See previous report 6 September 1989, Band 2.] ROBERTS does not accept that acceptance of scheme amounts to an admission that police are not doing their job. He welcomes the scheme because it encourages more personal responsibility and frees police time for more detailed investigation. Most burglaries are opportunist. The average amount stolen in 1986 was 300 pounds. TRACK 3- Review of the week’s news and sport. News - ALISON HOLT reporting. - is charged in Southampton with murdering 17 year old STEWART HEBRON outside a City night club.
