David Whiteley investigates a Norfolk cancer charity.

The problems caused by parking on pavements. Motorists parking their cars on pavements are public enemy number one in the eyes of one man in Luton. He has had brain haemorrhages and strokes and needs a mobility scooter to get around. But he's so angry with motorists parking inconsiderately that he's formed a campaign group to stop people parking on pavements.

And how the rediscovery of an ancient recipe for plaster is saving East Anglian heritage. The plaster is made from lime and hair and is vital for timber frame buildings as they move. We show how it has been rediscovered, how it is made and how it is now being used not only on old buildings but new ones too as it is very environmentally friendly.

Pavement parking rage

Motorists who park on pavements are public enemy number one in the eyes of 73-year-old pensioner David Bachini, who needs a mobility scooter to get around.

David, who lives in Luton, is so angry with vehicles blocking his way on pavements that he has formed a campaign group called Dad Pop (Disabled Against Drivers Parking on Pavements).

He takes pictures of vehicles parked on pavements and posts them on his website to name and shame motorists.
