Jersey's tourism department could be scrapped and replaced after a 43% | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
fall in visitor numbers over the past 15 years. You need to halt that | :00:13. | :00:25. | |
decline, turn it round and invigorate The new body could be | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
called Visit Jersey. Growth. It's not clear what will happen to | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
existing staff. Also tonight. A free bus service, a width tax on | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
vehicles and more cycle lanes. New plans are unveiled to drive cars off | :00:36. | :00:45. | |
the road in Guernsey. June `` Jersey rugby club repair for their showdown | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
tonight in Ealing. Jersey's state tourism department | :00:48. | :00:55. | |
could be scrapped and replaced with a non`government body called Visit | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Jersey, in a bid to attract more people to the island. It follows a | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
dramatic decline in visitor numbers at a time when global tourism is | :01:02. | :01:12. | |
growing. The number of holiday makers has fallen by 43% in the last | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
15 years. In 1997 there were almost 600,000 leisure visitors, but that | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
has now dropped to just over 300,000. But with more aggressive | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
marketing, it's claimed within 15 years that could increase to 1 | :01:28. | :01:36. | |
million. Jen Smith reports. Jersey? Its tourism heyday when the beaches | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
were full of holiday`maker, and the shops busy with people keen to part | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
with their cash. But Ness are scenes the modern | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
industry can currently only dream of. Visitor numbers have dwindled. | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
Hotels have closed and this year a further blow. Preston Travel which | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
brought thousands of tour lists to Jersey went out of business. Now the | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
industry needs help We are at a point where we can't afford any | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
further decline. Some have described ate as tipping point. We need to | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
halt that decline, turn it round and invigorate growth. ?6.5 million of | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
taxpayer money currently spent each year on Jersey's tourism department | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
could be given to Visit Jersey, without direct Government control it | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
is hoped it will market the island more aggressively, work more closely | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
with airlines and take bigger commercial risks. The man making the | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
recommendations briefed Jersey's hospitality industry today, his | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
ideas were well received. You can feel it from the mood in the room, | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
it has been a number of years we wanted to hear that sort of speech. | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
Delighted. It is what I joined for. I acted as President to hear those | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
words. It is time for a new deal for tourism. The finance industry has | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
been the big heavy weight and focus for the States, and I think it nice | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
to see finally we have seen a bit of a return back to hospitality. There | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
are 18 full`time staff at Jersey Tourism. The new body will be much | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
smaller. There are concerns and the interests of staff will be very | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
carefully considered and looked after as part of the process, | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
through the change. The model we currently have has not and is not | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
therefore likely to deliver returning our industry to growth. | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
That is something we have got to do something about. Jersey tourism | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
didn't want to comment today. A free bus service, a width tax on | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
vehicles and more cycle lanes. Just some of the proposals from | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
Guernsey's Environment Department to drive cars off the road and make | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
alternative transport more attractive. But the scale of the job | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
is daunting. There are 86,000 registered vehicles for 63,000 | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
residents. The long`awaited transport strategy has been released | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
today. As Mike Wilkins reports, not everyone in the Environment | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
Department agrees with the proposals. | :03:54. | :04:03. | |
Traffic. There is too much on the roads, a view held by many in the | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
islands, including the Environment Department. And now, it wants to | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
reduce the dominance of the private motor vehicle. More cycle lane, more | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
bus routes and increased frequency will aim to make it easier and safer | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
to use alternative transport, but there are more am ambitious | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
proppings. This report contains a lot of information but some of the | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
key suggestions are things such as introducing a free bus service, | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
excluding the night service, there is a proposal to introduce a width | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
attacks and carbon emission tax for new and second`hand cars and it | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
wouldn't be a Transport 2000 strategy without the discussion of | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
paid parking but there aren't going to be any proposals to introduce it. | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
If you don't have to use your car for a journey, look at the other | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
ways you can travel. You can walk, cycle, you can take the bus, you can | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
car share, you can motorbike, and look that the and give it a bit of | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
thought. However, there are divisions within | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
the Environment Department, as two of the five board members are | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
submitting their own proposal, and one is to have paid parking: It is | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
going to be provision of funding for the much`needed bus depot which is | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
not addresses in the main report. We are proposing subsidies for small | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
and low`emission and electric vehicles, we are not proposing any | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
increase in fuel duty, unlike the main report but we will propose paid | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
parking for long stay. We have heard from the politician, | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
but what do you think of their vision to encourage us out of our | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
cars? It is a bit like saying to people, go back to using a manual | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
washing machine, rather than an automatic. We have got used to it. | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
We like it and we don't want to go back to something that is not as | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
good. Why don't they do smaller buses for | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
people? I think the buses are too big, too wide. The people that are | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
shouting about it all the time ought to count and see how many they have | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
got in their own backyard, before trying to cut down on some of the. | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
Tams that need their cars. There are many other proposals to | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
get the island out of its traffic jam and next month it will be up to | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
the staets to decide. `` States. | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
Staying with travel, and the airline Aurigny's been given the go`ahead to | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
start flying between Guernsey and London City. Permission's been | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
granted by the Commerce and Employment Department to run a | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
passenger and cargo service to the airport. It should start this | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
summer. Aurigny says it's just one of the many potential routes it's | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
currently working on. We are a rooking at a trilander replacement. | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
We have license, we are working out when we can announce we will start | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
that route, we got the change at Gatwick and plus there is a load of | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
changes going on in the organisation, so I think now we need | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
to stabilise the company, and make sure we do what we have already got | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
planned to do, do it as well as we can. A by`election is to be held in | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
Alderney to elect a new States Member. It follows the death of Paul | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
Arditti earlier this year. People have until 31st March to put | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
themselves forward. Voting will take place on April 12th. Guernsey's | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
recompression chamber, used by divers who get the bends, is out of | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
action for the foreseeable future. Paid for entirely by public | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
donations, St John Ambulance and Rescue is currently deciding whether | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
to spend the money needed to upgrade it. In the mean time, divers will | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
have to travel to Jersey or Plymouth. Penny Elderfield reports. | :07:31. | :07:39. | |
It takes a fair bit of training to dive safely. But once you are down | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
there is another world on our doorstep, ripe for exploring. | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
But like all sports, there are risks and if a diver comes up too quickly | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
there is a chance they could get the bends. If you come up too quickly, | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
or in some cases if you have got an existing heart condition, the gas | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
comes out too quickly it is similar to opening a bottle of coke too | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
quickly. I am sure you can imagine having bubbles in your bloodstream | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
is not a good thing. It doesn't happen often but when it does this | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
is where local dives are treated. Round three a year use this | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
recompression chamber. It works by recreating the lower pressure you | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
get under water. If a diver does require treatment they can spend | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
anything between two or eight hours in this chamber, but with this | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
facility now closed, the only option will be to go to Jersey, or | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
Plymouth. To get this one working again, | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
initial lit would need to be tested. That alone would cost ?11,000 and | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
the upgrades needed would only add to the bill. So the question is | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
whether to go down that route or just make using Jersey's chamber the | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
norm There are only 16 Chambers registered in the UK, so travelling | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
distances to get to the nearest facile any the UK are long, | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
therefore the distance between here and Jersey we do not see as a big | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
disadvantage. The quicker you get treatment, the better so many local | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
divers will feel it an investment that is worth making, but while the | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
decision is made whether do that the advice as always is if you are | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
planning on doing a bit of this, be wear of the risks. Tonight is the | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
night for Jersey Rugby Club. It's their chance to edge closer to | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
Championship survival when they face the bottom club Ealing in around an | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
hour's time. A win for the islanders would almost secure their place in | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
the division and put their opponents on the brink of relegation. Our | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
Sports Editor Tim Pryor is in Ealing for the match. This is a huge match | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
for both of these sides, Jersey and Ealing trail finders have been | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
battling against relegation all season long, if Jersey can win | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
tonight, they are almost guaranteed their place in the Championship for | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
next season. At the same time they leave Ealing back on the brink of | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
relegation. Jersey could open up a 17 point gap in the table. The boss | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
knows there is a big challenge ahead. The players have looked | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
their own performance, we are their own performance, we are | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
looking at the permutations ahead of us, you know, if Nottingham don't | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
get a result, can we overtake them? We don't want to talk about being in | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
the bottom, we want to talk about where we can do moving forward. He | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
will make three changes tonight. Among them is Nicky Griffiths who | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
comes back into the line up. There is live commentary this evening, | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
kick off St a 7.5. In football, Guernsey FC travel to | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
league leaders Peacehaven Telscombe. The Green Lions closed | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
the gap on second`place Leatherhead with a 3`1 win last night over | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
Whitstable Town, and three points tomorrow lunchtime are crucial if | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
they're to reel them in. You can hear coverage of the game on BBC | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
Radio Guernsey from midday, with kick`off at 12.45. | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
More than 60 people have already signed up to be Games Makers at next | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
year's Island Games in Jersey. Inspired by the London 2012 | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
volunteers, organisers hope to find 400 enthusiastic recruits to help | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
out during the Games. Applications opened this morning. 20`year`old | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
student Dan Garton was an early subscriber. I have always enjoyed | :11:16. | :11:26. | |
sport, all sorts of sports, rugby, tennis, cricket, football, anything | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
there is and I have wanted to get involved and have, they want to make | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
it the best it is, so I would love to get involved with it. If they | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
really enjoy being part of something, they enjoy adding value, | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
enjoy being part of a team, come and join us. | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
What does the weekend's wet holder? It was beautiful earlier on today. | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
Then the clouds came over. And I think that is the theme for the | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
weekend. It is a bit. We were lucky with what | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
we had this morning, the fine greerted us as we came to work, the | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
showers are round now, there are more showers to come tomorrow, and | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
while we may see some sunshine tomorrow, the showers are never | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
going to be too far away. Not the fine start we saw this morning. Let | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
us deal with this evening. That important rugby match in Ealing this | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
evening, kick off is at 7.45. There are showers round. Nothing that the | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
rugby players can't contend with. Showers and temperatures round eight | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
or nine degrees and blustery condition, you can follow the | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
commentary on BBC Radio Jersey. The forecast for the rest of us, as | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
we head into the weekend is cold, a lot colder than it has been. It is | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
breezy, there will be sunshine, but equally there will be showers too | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
and some will be heavy. Watching that clump of cloud as it | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
develops and moves closer to us, that will bring a line of frequent | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
showers later on this evening, in fact more rain for a time, each time | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
we get a weather system coming through it introduces slightly | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
colder air, so west or north`west winds tomorrow evening, and those | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
showers dying away on Sunday, Sunday in the second half of the day we | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
should see some sunshine return. So the showers overnight tonight, | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
will just keep on come, they are beginning to appear out to the west, | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
they will follow through on that brisk breeze, which will veer | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
westerly, and morning temperatures starting at round five or six | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
degrees, tomorrow is a blustery day and also the showers will be | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
frequent. I think occasionally we will see one of hail, or a rumble of | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
thunder. In between in the afternoon there will be sunny spells, but it | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
is not very warm with a wind chill, it will feel colder than the | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
temperature suggests of eight or nine degrees. There is the coastal | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
waters forecast. Force five, occasionally six in the | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
showers, and a quick look at the times of high water. | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
If you are heading to do some surfing it will be on the messy side | :13:52. | :13:53. | |
P that is it for now. Back with you at | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
10.25. have tried to answer them over the | :13:57. | :14:09. | |
last 30 years and paid into a system I have otherwise never touched. | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
People with dementia and their carers are receiving extra support, | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
thanks to a dedicated team of specialist nurses. The Admiral | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
Nurses have been provided by Cornwall Care, and the charity | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
Dementia UK and, as Alison Johns reports, more than 100 people have | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
already been referred to them for help. | :14:26. | :14:26. | |
78`year`old Pearl Driscoll is living with dementia. Her sisters say they | :14:27. | :14:34. | |
first noticed signs of it about five years ago. Today, they are looking | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
at family photos to help Pearl remember the past. She used to be a | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
nurse, and lived an independent life in Bodmin. But her family found it | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
increasingly difficult to cope, as the dementia got worse. We had an | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
awful lot to contend with, really. Medicals, doctors. Then, the | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
Lifeline people would ring us up, Pearl was not answering. She had | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
pulled her bell. OK, we'll have to run up, whatever. Really, we just | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
dealt with it as it came along, you did the best you could. | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
A carer told them about the new Admiral Nurses. And Lorraine | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
Butterworth started to help them. There were more and more | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
difficulties. She had a number of falls, and was becoming more | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
disorientated within her own home, couldn't find her way around her own | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
home. So, I supported the family, really, through the best`interest | :15:26. | :15:27. | |
decisions, and through the transition into full`time care. The | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
nurses help carers both emotionally and practically, putting them in | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
touch with the right authorities. And helping them to carry on | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
communicating when just talking becomes difficult. | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
Don't ever be afraid to get hold of an Admiral Nurse. Especially if | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
you're on your own, definitely. Cornwall Care provided more than | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
half the funding for the nurses, and Dementia UK raised ?60,000 to help | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
families like Pearl's move forward. There are fears that a traditional | :15:52. | :16:04. | |
method of fishing on the Devon`Cornwall border is under | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
threat. Net fishing for salmon has taken place on the River Tamar for | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
almost 100 years. Now, the handful of men allowed to fish there are | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
concerned they'll be the last, because of new laws making it | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
virtually impossible for their licences to be passed on. John Danks | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
has the story. It is a way of life in the Tamar | :16:26. | :16:40. | |
Valley. It was a fishing community, a salmon fishing community at | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
Saltash Ben. It is all gone now. These are the last of the net 's | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
men. In 2004, they agreed to stop fishing the ten years in a deal with | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
the Environment Agency to allow salmon stocks to recover. This year, | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
they are allowed back, but they are worried the tradition will die with | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
them. I agreed to give up my license, on condition that my | :17:06. | :17:14. | |
grandson would carry on. I was quite happy to do that. Eventually, at the | :17:15. | :17:22. | |
end of the ten years, they said, oh, no, they will only allow four of us | :17:23. | :17:31. | |
to go back. But, as the die off, the licences will not be issued. It will | :17:32. | :17:44. | |
be the end to the fishery. The Environment Agency says it | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
sympathisers but will not issue new licences due to the current state of | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
salmon stock. We're not able to pass licences to family members. We have | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
to advertise those licences to the public and to other people who have | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
fished here historically. But the fishermen are passionate about | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
that the powers that be have heard that the powers that be have heard | :18:13. | :18:20. | |
the word, net, and frightened we are scooping all the fish out. The men | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
are taking their cause to the fisheries Minister George used as | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
next month. `` Eustace. Time for some sports news now. And | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
Andy Birkett has visiting a school in Plymouth, to see a very special | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
world record attempt for Sport Relief. | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
Here we are in Coombe Dean School in Plymouth. And taking part in sports | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
relief today. Everyone has done a fun run. And Matt Brewster has done | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
something special. We will catch up with him in a minute. First, these | :18:56. | :19:03. | |
two are gearing up for a big year. They compete all over the country. | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
They are taking part in the World They are taking part in the World | :19:07. | :19:17. | |
Championships in the Netherlands. Grants BMX racing is on the up. | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
Sienna and her sister are in training for a big year ahead. | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
It is a big year for us because it is harder to get top three, let | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
alone first. But it will be really good, hopefully, another year of | :19:34. | :19:35. | |
really good, tough racing. Last year, you did really well, you | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
finished second in the country. Can you go one better this year? | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
Yes. The sisters compete in the National | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
Series, but living in the Penzance means a lot of travelling. | :19:47. | :19:54. | |
Last time, it was about a seven`hour trip, for a few minutes' racing, it | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
was 14 hours in the car. It is a fair bit of travelling but it is | :19:59. | :20:07. | |
worth it to see your kids do well. Last year's World Championships | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
happened to be in New Zealand, but that would have broken the bank | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
altogether, luckily enough this year it is in Rotterdam, bit closer on | :20:14. | :20:15. | |
the ferry. And the girls cannot wait. | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
Really excited, and the fact you get one week of school as well! Are you | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
not worried you might get hurt? Not really. You have pads and stuff. | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
Does it bother you? No, it doesn't really bother me either. There is | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
one question, who is the best rider? B. Me. Definitely me. No, me. | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
You will have to have a race to settle it. | :20:45. | :21:13. | |
And that was just for fun. You should see them in a serious race! | :21:14. | :21:22. | |
couple of minutes of rowing. Matt couple of minutes of rowing. Matt | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
Brewster is looking for a new world record for the 100,000 metres indoor | :21:28. | :21:37. | |
rowing. I have hit a wall on more than a few occasions over the last | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
seven hours. It feels never ending. I am wondering why I entered into | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
this. I know because if corruption macro it is for a good cause. `` I | :21:49. | :21:59. | |
know it is for a good cause. You have a lot of support here. Great | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
support all round from the people in Coombe Dean. We wish you all the | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
best for your world record attempt. And for everyone doing their bit | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
this weekend. Good luck to everyone. I met a few | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
people at my local gym doing their bit. I wished them well. | :22:19. | :22:20. | |
Earlier in the programme, we saw how this winter's storms have affected | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
the South West. As a result of the extreme weather, one of Devon's | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
finest country houses has a new attraction. The severe gales a few | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
weeks ago uprooted a huge tree at Knightshayes Court, near Tiverton, | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
leaving an enormous hole in the ground. John Henderson's been for a | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
poke around. It is a common enough site following | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
winter storms. 30 metre trees batted winter storms. 30 metre trees batted | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
to the ground. The last in a group of four trees recently came crashing | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
down at Knightshayes Court. It looks dramatic, and there is more. What do | :23:00. | :23:09. | |
we call this? It is a big wall. This is one of the route plates, 20 feet | :23:10. | :23:22. | |
wide. These are turkey Oaks, 150 years old. Three of them came down | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
came down a few weeks ago. The came down a few weeks ago. The | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
National Trust is keen for people to National Trust is keen for people to | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
come and explore this which might come in time, form part of an | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
adventure play area. This is a lovely space, we don't want to lose | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
it. A great place for people to come and see the magnitude of these | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
trees. We are looking to keep this. We will obviously make it safe. We | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
encourage people to come and look at these sites, it is an amazing | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
landscape. The recent storms have brought down more trees than ever, | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
and here, at least 400 in the past three years. Thousands more are | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
being replanted. Whilst it may look dramatic, there is no panic. We | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
manage things very practically. There is no real cause for alarm. It | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
is a cycle that happens. So some elderly giants may have been laid | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
low, but plenty more of these are still going strong. | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
Time now for the weather. Winter is on its way back? Not quite | :24:28. | :24:38. | |
winter but it is colder. It is not unusual to see a cold snap | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
in March. We haven't seen much frost so far this year. A noticeable frost | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
on Saturday night, quite a deep frost on Sunday night, ten touches | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
as low as `3. Probably not tonight, there is a breeze. The weekend | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
forecast is pretty much one of cold and breezy conditions, with showers, | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
a bit of sunshine, the risk of overnight frost. This lump of cloud | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
is the one we are watching carefully. A line of showers coming | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
through the Irish Sea giving an hour of persistent rain as it sweeps | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
through. Behind it, another will follow. Heavy showers through the | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
night. Saturday, generally, much more unsettled. This morning we had | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
sunshine, tomorrow morning, showers will be there at the start. Sunday, | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
high`pressure topples in. Clear skies on Sunday night will give the | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
risk of a frost. Showers have been quite frequent in the last hour. A | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
line of showers from the far West which is approaching the west coast | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
of Cornwall, gradually pulling in a hefty downpour of rain later this | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
evening. This was earlier today. In the sunshine. Actually a lovely day. | :25:57. | :26:06. | |
The breeze has been nicely. For most of us, with a bit of shelter and | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
sunshine, it wasn't a bad start. Blue sky, replaced by big clouds | :26:13. | :26:15. | |
which developed in the morning to give heavy showers in the afternoon. | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
The view from this part of Cornwall. And overnight, another line of | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
showers will rapidly follow. The showers will rapidly follow. The | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
activity will fade in little but still the risk of showers through to | :26:31. | :26:32. | |
dawn tomorrow morning. Overnight textures, probably three Celsius. `` | :26:33. | :26:42. | |
temperatures. Some of the showers tomorrow morning, particularly over | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
Dartmoor and higher ground, could give snow. For the rest of us, | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
showery rain, occasionally hailed, eight degrees top temperature `` | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
hail. Of the Isles of Scilly, breezy and cold. Showers will always be | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
close by. Here are the times of high water. | :27:05. | :27:13. | |
For our surfers, the waves are likely to be pretty big, but will be | :27:14. | :27:22. | |
messy. Here is the coastal waters forecast. It is a better day on | :27:23. | :27:30. | |
Sunday. Especially through the afternoon. More rain later on | :27:31. | :27:31. | |
Monday. Have a nice weekend. That's all from us. Join us again | :27:32. | :27:38. | |
during the Ten O'Clock News. Goodbye. | :27:39. | :27:41. |
