Sex Education DVD Row + Sixfields Green Light

Parents of primary school children in Northampton protest about what they call a "graphic" sex education DVD being shown in primary schools, & Northampton Town FC's ground plans get Council backing.

A DVD being used in primary schools at the moment talks children through puberty, sex and contraception - but some parents say the content is too graphic. Stuart talks to Atonia Tully, co-ordinater of the Safe at School campaign, has spoken out against the use of the DVD, and to Kay Gerrett, head teacher at Cedar Road Primary in Northampton. The Conservative MP for South Northamptonshire, Andrea Leadsom, tells Stuart why she's concerned about the DVD and Northampton mother of three Emma Clarke tells Stuart that she has decided to educate her children at home because of the way her son's school handled the issue.

The Chairman of Northampton Town Football Club, David Cardoza, gives Stuart his reaction to the deal agreed by Northampton Borough Council which will see the Club, the Council and the Government's Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔs and Communities Agency move forward to redevelop the area round the Cobblers' Sixfields Stadium.
