Good evening from Points West. The for Jacquelin Thompson. | :00:19. | :00:19. | |
Good evening from Points West. The wife of a cyclist from Somerset who | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
was killed after hitting a pothole is suing the council which failed to | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
repair it. Kate Uzzell has criticised North Yorkshire County | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
Council for allowing the ro`d to fall into such a poor condition It | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
comes as over ?100 million of extra government cash is being made | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
available for repairs. Madeleine Ware reports. | :00:36. | :00:44. | |
Martin was my soul mate, we did lots and lots of things together. | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
Reliving happier times. Kate Uzzell's husband, Martxn, was | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
killed over two and a half xears ago. He was taking part in ` charity | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
cycle ride from Land's End to John O'Groats when he hit a pothole 0cm | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
deep on the A65 in North Yorkshire. He was thrown into the path of a car | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
and died instantly. At an inquest into his death this week, the | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
coroner said there was no doubt that the condition of the road w`s the | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
cause of the accident. The inquest was also told a police | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
officer had reported the pothole to North Yorkshire County Council a | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
month earlier. I'm very angry. It was totally | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
preventable. You know, they had been warned, they had inspected, and they | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
still did nothing. It's just appalling. The County Counchl has | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
expressed its sympathies to Kate and says it will consider the coroner's | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
comments very carefully. We do spend about ?20 million every | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
year on road maintenance. Wd have just put an extra ?5 million in out | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
of the capital surpluses we have generated on the budgets for recent | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
years. Kate, from Clevedon, is now taking | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
legal action against the Cotncil. And she is launching a more | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
widespread education campaign. I want car drivers to be more aware | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
of the vulnerability of cyclists. I want councils to keep the roads in | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
repair and take reports of potholes seriously. | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
It's a campaign she hopes whll bring something positive from Martyn's | :02:18. | :02:18. | |
death. A fire which damaged a live music | :02:19. | :02:28. | |
venue in Bath was caused by an electrical fault. Crews werd called | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
to Moles nightclub and recording studios on George Street yesterday | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
morning. The fire was contahned to the ground floor. It is not yet | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
clear when it may re`open. The railway line between Tatnton and | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
Bristol Temple Meads is due to re`open this morning. First Great | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
Western says that there will be a reduced service to begin with | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
because of the damage caused by flooding at Bridgwater. Thex're also | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
warning passengers that journeys may take longer than normal. | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
Rugby, and Bath have missed out on a place in the final of the LV Cup | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
after being beaten in the semi`finals by Exeter Chiefs. The | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
hosts led 13`8 at the break thanks to Leroy Houston's try and three | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
successful kicks from Tom Hdathcote but Exeter hit back with two tries | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
in the second half. You know, to play particularly well | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
in patches and to lose by three points with a kick at the end to | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
maybe force extra time is rdally disappointing. I think we whll look | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
back on this and regret the chance to get finals. `` get to thd finals. | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
Meanwhile, Bristol ran in sdven tries as they beat Cornish Pirates | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
46`33 at home. Forward Marco Mama scored four tries for the home side. | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
The result means Bristol relain top of the Championship. | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
Just ahead of the weather, ht is congratulations to our Somerset | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
correspondent, Clinton Rogers, and cameraman Steve Powell, who have won | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
a Royal Television Society `ward tonight. It was for their coverage | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
here on Points West of the trial of Jim McCormick, who sold fakd bomb | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
detectors. Well done to thel. Let's get the latest weather | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
prospects now with Emily Wood. Hello, it looks like we will | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
continue with largely dry and settled weather for the week ahead. | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
We will see Clyde at times through the weaker head and tonight | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
increasing amounts of cloud moving in for the first thing tomorrow | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
morning. This cloud possiblx bringing a spot or two of r`in, with | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
the risk of hill fog, but a frost free night, temperatures no lower | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
than four Celsius. Tomorrow which largely dry, `` looks largely dry, | :04:34. | :04:42. | |
temperatures quite mild up to 1 Celsius, possibly not quite feeling | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
so warm as we will have mord cloud through the day. On Tuesday at looks | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
rather cloudy through the d`y, better chance of sunshine probably | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
on Wednesday, particularly on Thursday. Still my own throtgh the | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
day but colder overnight in the middle of the week. We're b`ck from | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
6am tomorrow, good night. It is early in the year to hit 0 | :05:00. | :05:11. | |
Celsius. Don't get used to it just yet, but some spots in south-east of | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
England got there. Gravesend the top spot, but with cloud in Scotland and | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
Northern Ireland, the temperatures were held down and a wet end to the | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
day courtesy of this weather front. The rain here dying a way. The cloud | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
here straggling England and Wales, holding the temperatures up. Behind | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
the front in Scotland and Northern Ireland, the clearing skies, the | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
temperatures dropping. A touch of frost and ice over the high ground | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
in Scotland. A hazard in the morning. Showers in the far north of | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
Scotland, but tomorrow a reversal of fortunes. The north of northern | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
England, Scotland and Northern Ireland cloudy today, will be | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
brighter. Maybe a shower in Scotland, but mostly staying dry and | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
with sunny spells and the | :06:01. | :06:02. |
