Michael Robson stands on the Clacton pier, reporting on the implications of the return of the Mods and Rockers, who at Easter caused a lot of damage to the tradespeople of the town. Speaking to Chairman of the Chamber of Trade and Commerce, Mr. Laurie King, he asks how much damage has been suffered so far, and whether he expects more difficulties at Whit. King answers that you cannot put a monetary value on the damage felt, and that the police have put adequate measures in place in order to prevent a similar event occurring.
