Hello. A ?200 million pound project for a rapid transit bus route | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
through Bristol has been labelled a "white elephant" by campaigners. | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
They claim the Metrobus scheme won't attract enough passengers, | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
They've now taken their fight to Westminster. | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
But politicians behind the plan say the latest complaints | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
could lose the city millions of pounds of transport funding. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
Here's our political reporter Robin Markwell. | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
Harvest time on the Stapleton Road allotments. | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
But among the prize`winning vegetables, seeds of discontent with | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
A bus lane is due to be built across here ` uprooting 45 plot holders. | :00:45. | :00:59. | |
It is not going to be easy to move. You have all your soil. | :01:00. | :01:09. | |
Katie's plot sits on one part of a ?200m scheme to deliver faster | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
The Metrobus network comprises two new bus routes. | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
One would run from Ashton Vale to Bristol Temple Meads. | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
The other, from Hengrove along the M32 before branching out to | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
It also features a new link road in the South. | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
The buses would be given priority at junctions and travel | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
But this week, some labelled the scheme a white elephant, | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
protesting about the loss of green space and questioning how many | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
Councillors, who insist Metrobus really is the only show in town, | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
If these protests are listened to in central Government, we might lose | :01:44. | :01:57. | |
hundreds of millions of pounds of investment in Bristol's future. We | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
have invested ten years of hard work, and that can never be | :02:02. | :02:02. | |
replaced. Work on the bus routes could start | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
as soon as the autumn ` but with the Government still to sign the cheque, | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
there's growing concern yet another plan to tackle Bristol's traffic may | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
not reach its destination. The owners of the Averies recycling | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
site in Swindon ` the yard that's now been on fire for 26 days ` | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
have failed to meet a deadline to The Environment Agency stepped | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
in to insist material is removed so firefighters can properly | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
extinguish the fire. It'll now take over | :02:28. | :02:28. | |
the clear`up operation, and move Costs will be recovered | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
from Averies. Eilidh Child has won gold at the | :02:32. | :03:00. | |
European athletics Championships. The 27`year`old trains at the | :03:01. | :03:01. | |
University of Bath. Two home wins | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
and two home defeats for our local Aaron Wilbraham scored both goals | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
as Bristol City made it two wins out Not such good news for Yeovil Town, | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
who have now started the season with One amateur club in Gloucestershire | :03:14. | :03:37. | |
had a special afternoon. The FA Cup came to Fairford town. The team | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
started their campaign six rounds before the likes of Bristol city and | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
Swindon enter the competition, and 13 wins away from the final. It is a | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
tremendous scope for a small club like this, and we need to thank the | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
FA for facilitating the trophy being down here. As far as the club was my | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
concerned, it is a live for everybody and something the players | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
will remember for the rest of their life. `` as far as the club is | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
concerned. We have had a fairly bright start of | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
the weekend, and there will be a lot of cloud about and then we will | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
start to see a lot of showers feeding in. I think it will be a | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
fairly mild night, with nose up a couple of degrees. Towns and cities | :04:29. | :04:36. | |
around 14, 15 degrees. `` lows. Tomorrow we will see some rain | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
sweeping in. Most will be light and patchy with the odd moderate burst, | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
but it should write up nicely during the afternoon. The winds will pick | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
up, giving a fresher fields to things. Highs of around 18 degrees. | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
`` a fresher feel. Next week we will see a mixture of sunshine and | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
showers. We will be back at `` we will be | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
back tomorrow. Goodbye. The start of the football season | :05:06. | :05:20. | |
reminds us autumn is around the corner and the an autumnal flavour | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
for the next few days. For Sunday, north-westerly winds and some rain. | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
The rain comes from this front crossing through Northern Ireland | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
and northern England. As it pushes south it will pep up and the wind | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
will strengthen and the showers develop in the north and west. But | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
for the cloud and the wind and rain it won't be too cold at 14 Celsius. | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
We start off tomorrow with a front still to clear through England and | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
Wales, a disappointing grey and wet start to the morning. Behind it the | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
winds is a feature with gales even inland in Scotland and some showers | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
and big waves. Holiday makers take note. Some brightness in England and | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
Wales after the front clears and temperatures up to 21. A cooler feel | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
with the sharp showers in the north and west. That cooler feel will come | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
to descend south through Monday and | :06:22. | :06:22. |
