Good evening and welcome. A new design of lorry, aimed at | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
reducing the number of cyclhsts killed in collisions has bedn | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
approved by the European Parliament. Last year, 14 cyclists were killed | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
on the capital's roads with nine of those incidents involving HGVs. If | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
Westminster agrees to the changes, lorries will need bigger windows and | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
rounder fronts. Gareth Furbx reports. | :00:34. | :00:44. | |
Cycling home from central London this evening, and many who commute | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
use their bikes `` using thdir bikes will be delighted that the Duropean | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
Parliament wants lorries made safer. It seems crazy there have bden | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
designed the way they have for so long without anyone realise it was | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
asking for trouble. Anything that can improve everybody's safdty has | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
got to be a good thing. Verx pleased to hear about it. The main danger in | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
London has come when heavy goods vehicles turn left with a cxclist on | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
the inside, in the driver's blindspot. Doctor Katharine Giles | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
died like this in Victoria ` year ago. The inquest heard the driver | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
could not have seen her. Thhs could be the truck of the future, with the | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
standard Euro MPs want. Arotnd CAP fronts and bigger windows for better | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
driver visibility, something Boris Johnson has also been calling for. | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
He is delighted. This is a very good day for a cyclist in London and | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
across Europe. Lorries kill and injure hundreds of cyclists who will | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
now be at much less risk if this goes through. Alex McVitie was | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
killed in 2000 cycling to work in the City, when a cement lorry turned | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
left. Her mother hopes the new standards will be introduced by law. | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
To lose a child in that way is horrific and even more so if you | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
discover that it didn't need to happen, that there are ways of | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
preventing this. How long whll it be before we see these new lorry | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
designs on the streets of London? The European Parliament wants the | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
design changes enforced for all new lorries by 2022, but Europe`n | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
governments must agree with the rules before they can becomd law. We | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
are concerned the British government has said that they do want to | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
negotiate and water down sole of the proposals. We are not sure why they | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
are doing this. That would put back the safety argument and the | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
development of safer lorries by years or decades. The Department for | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
Transport said making HGVs safer is a priority for the government. | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
Today's phot is just one stdp in the process. `` today's phot. A way | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
forward would still need to be agreed in Europe. | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
Human bones have been found buried under a driveway in south London. | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
The remains, including what is believed to be part of a sktll, were | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
discovered by workmen in Riddlesdown Road in Purley yesterday. They have | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
since been confirmed as hum`n, and have now been sent to | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
anthropologists to determind how old they are. | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
London's councils have used CCTV to fine motorists more than ?280 | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
million over the past five xears. The data compiled by a camp`ign | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
group shows that Camden Council raised more than ?30 million. The | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
Government says it'll clamp down on what it is sees as an abuse of the | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
technology. But councils sax the cameras improve safety and deny | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
they're using them just to raise money. | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
House prices in London have risen by their fastest rate for nearly seven | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
years, according to the most recent figures. The data from the Office | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
for National Statistics shows that over the last 12 months, thd average | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
cost of a house in the capital has increased by 17%. That's thd highest | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
year`on`year rise since Julx 20 7 and nearly double the UK avdrage. | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
A family who own a sheet metal factory based next to Tottenham | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
Football Club is refusing to relocate, meaning a scheme to | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
improve White Hart Lane could be jeopardised. The plans, which | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
involve redeveloping the arda around the club, have clashed with the | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
manufacturing firm's own pl`ns to expand.Many millions of pounds of | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
development funds are now at stake, as Warren Nettleford reports. | :04:40. | :04:54. | |
Archway Sheet Metals have bden operating for more than 30 xears. If | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
you have had a late night about one of their machines probably cooked | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
it. The premises are in the shadow of the Spurs ground but if the club | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
have their way they would bd forced to move. This is why ` the scale of | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
Tottenham's ambition with a new stadium and retail space. What it | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
does not show is that if thd factory state it would be in the middle of | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
the pitch. This site is derdlict, but there were other factorhes and | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
industrial units. The comp `ny have plans of their own. They employ 20 | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
people and want to expand and say they have Planning Permission Bill. | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
If they are regenerating thdy are taking away jobs at the samd time as | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
creating jobs. We are already here and this is our home. We can | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
regenerate and give local pdople the choice to work in Tottenham. We | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
don't object to them developing not at all, but we wanted to be fair, | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
that is all. Tottenham are waiting on the result of a public | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
consultation which began last year. Haringey's council's attend`nt `` | :06:00. | :06:07. | |
attempt to use a compulsory purchase order will be investigated. Spurs | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
say the new scheme is cruci`l to kick`starting the regenerathon of | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
the local area. The solicitor representing the family has | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
reservations. The role of compulsory purchase is not to stifle good young | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
businesses. The role of CPO is not to support wealthy commerci`l | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
enterprises like Spurs. It hs here to support the public interdst. | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
Tottenham see these expansion plans as vital for them to challenge the | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
top clubs in Europe. If the government decides not to b`ck | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
them, those plans could be on hold. Well it's good night from md, now | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
here's. Here's Louise Lear with the London forecast. Good evening. We | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
have seen some beautiful spring sunshine in recent days, but it has | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
been chilly first thing. We will see a similar story tomorrow. Yds, more | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
sunshine but a cool start. Tnder clear skies, temperatures are | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
falling away. In rural spots we will see overnight lows of two or three | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
degrees. It will be a beauthful start to the day with sunshhne | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
coming through and that is how it was day. Southeasterly winds, so | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
hopefully warmer. This is a summary and the look at the National | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
forecast. The sun has set on another beautiful | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
day. Like last night, temperatures have taken a nosedive this evening. | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
It will be a cold night for the middle of April. Temperature is well | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
down into single figures in towns and cities. Across eastern England | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
in rural spots, close to freezing. We are expecting another frost | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
across many parts of England and where. For Northern Ireland and | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
Scotland, temperatures were covering later in the night but for most of | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
us, a cold but sunny start. The last one for a while. We will see cloud | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
increasing across Northern Ireland and Scotland, the breeze freshening | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
and rain heading into the far north-west. Further south, a sunny | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
day for most of England and Wales. Clouds are rare and temperatures | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
will bounce back nicely. On | :08:28. | :08:28. |
