That's all from me. You can see more Good evening. Members of Solerset's | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
tourism industry are implorhng holiday makers to consider their | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
county open for business as usual. Visitor attractions are relxing on | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
the Easter Holidays to bring in millions of pounds this year. But | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
there's real concern that ilages of recent flooding have discouraged | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
tourists. Here's Catherine Powell. The sunshine certainly helpdd draw | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
in the holiday makers today. From Birmingham, and coming here for | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
years with my family. I just come as normal. | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
My mum and dad have come to visit from Yorkshire. I live in Bristol. | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
Just come to look at the caves and have a good day out. | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
I used to come to the caves when I was a child, and I always enjoyed | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
it. But over the past few months these are the images of Somdrset | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
that have made the headlines. Devastating for those affected. Now | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
tourism officials say these images are still keeping holiday m`kers | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
away. Obviously there was only 3% of the | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
county that was ever underw`ter it's reckoned that bookings for the | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
summer are down around 20%. That's a lot of bookings and a lot of money | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
which we hope we can get back. The tourism industry is said to be | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
worth around a billion pounds a year to Somerset, and this should be one | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
its busiest weeks, but many attractions say their Easter | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
bookings are way down. The perception has been that | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
Somerset is underwater, and it's putting people off coming. One | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
particular example was a colpany from India looking to bring visitors | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
over to Somerset they were put off because in the media over their they | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
are saying that Somerset is flooded, when we are very much open for | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
business. They're hoping a better summer will help Somerset on its way | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
to recovery. Police in Bath are still trxing to | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
trace the family of a man who drowned in the River Avon. The | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
42`year`old fell into the rhver near Norfolk Crescent late on Frhday | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
night. He was pulled out by police officers, but they couldn't revive | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
him. He's the fifth person to drown in the area in recent years. | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
Protesters fighting plans for biomass power plants at Avonmouth | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
near Bristol say their action this weekend was just the beginnhng. | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
Around 100 cyclists gathered to show their opposition ` they're concerned | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
about air quality and sustainability, and they believe use | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
of palm oil in one plant wotld be ecologically damaging. But those | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
behind the projects say thex'll provide renewable low carbon | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
electricity, reduce carbon dmissions and create hundreds of new jobs | :02:49. | :02:57. | |
It looks as though the celebrated street artist Banksy may have left | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
his mark on the wall of a property in Cheltenham today. The new images, | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
which surround a phone box hn Hewlett Road, show three secret | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
agents eavesdropping on teldphone calls. Cheltenham is, of cotrse | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
home to the government's communication headquarters, GCHQ. It | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
was a pleasant surprise for those living in the building. | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
I heard voices out here, but I didn't bother looking out or | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
anything until I heard my neighbour, and then as I looked | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
out, I saw him putting scredns away in the back of a van, but that was | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
it, that's all I knew. It's really good. | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
Do you mind it being on the side of your house? | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
Not at all. If this is real, your house could be | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
worth a fortune. That would be nice! | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
I got a phone call from a friends to say, look outside your housd. It was | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
quite a shock. You studied art and design, do you | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
think it is a Banksy? I think it is. We studied a lot of | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
Banksy, so I reckon it is, xes. If you enjoyed today's sunshine | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
