Introduction

This week we have two stories about the fabric of British life today. The first takes us to the northeast to T-side where there are some interesting goings on with something called a free port. And after that, we're going to have Tim Minogue who has been looking in the southeast of the country at some other interesting business decisions which have been made. In Croydon he will be telling us all about the London Borough of Croydon and its absolutely awful finances.
