A hit`and`run driver who killed a teenager in Bath has been

Jake Gilmore was knocked off his bike on Midland Bridge

:00:15.:00:20.

in November last year when he was cycling home from work.

:00:21.:00:23.

Raymond Isherwood had been trying to change a CD in his car at the time.

:00:24.:00:39.

We take no pleasure in reminiscing about the past. It merely torments

:00:40.:00:48.

us. We don't look forward whth any enthusiasm to the future either We

:00:49.:00:53.

have been broken apart. The court heard Isherwood,

:00:54.:01:00.

who is 53, didn't brake He was arrested 48 hours later when

:01:01.:01:02.

his car was found and eventtally No sentence will make up for the

:01:03.:01:20.

loss under the circumstances. We think the judge summed up vdry well

:01:21.:01:26.

and will bring some closure to this very sad occasion.

:01:27.:01:32.

The judge said Isherwood had allowed himself to be seriously distracted

:01:33.:01:35.

whilst driving and added th`t he left the scene without a thought

:01:36.:01:38.

One of the biggest leisure developments

:01:39.:01:40.

in the West could be cancelled before work has even begun.

:01:41.:01:43.

A BBC investigation has found the multi`million pound revamp of The

:01:44.:01:46.

Oasis in Swindon has been plagued by funding problems and deadlines

:01:47.:01:48.

The council says it'll now get tough with developers

:01:49.:01:52.

Our Wiltshire reporter, Will Glennon, investigates.

:01:53.:01:57.

Over 600,000 people come here every year:

:01:58.:02:02.

Built in 1976 with its wave machine and dome, ht was a

:02:03.:02:07.

major attraction but it's thred and a huge redevelopment is planned here

:02:08.:02:14.

An investment of ?90 million, creating 1,000 jobs.

:02:15.:02:26.

The developer should have ptt in a planning application bx now but

:02:27.:02:29.

the deadline has been pushed back to next May, more than a ye`r late.

:02:30.:02:33.

That developer is Moirai Capital Investment.

:02:34.:02:39.

When the deal was signed, the council believed Moirai had

:02:40.:02:41.

the "skills and experience" but not "significant working capital".

:02:42.:02:48.

The council says this is ch`nging but funding has been

:02:49.:02:50.

an issue throughout and somd continue to question the de`l.

:02:51.:03:00.

It makes me feel angry and though we are wasting public money. Wd are

:03:01.:03:08.

working with a company we should not be working with and I don't see any

:03:09.:03:12.

chance that we will get was promised.

:03:13.:03:16.

Moirai also took on refurbishing what was already here:

:03:17.:03:18.

The work that has been done was delayed, partly because of funding,

:03:19.:03:22.

and a ?1 million worth, including repairing the roof,

:03:23.:03:25.

The council is now talking tough after a new timetable was agreed

:03:26.:03:34.

Moirai has declined to commdnt but if they don't act swiftly,

:03:35.:03:43.

We can't keep missing the States. I have made it very clear to the

:03:44.:03:50.

bosses that there has been `nother slippage and they have got to meet

:03:51.:03:52.

these new sets of deadlines. Moirai has declined to commdnt

:03:53.:03:57.

but if they don't act swiftly, the council could pull the plug

:03:58.:03:59.

on them and look for a new partner Will Glennon, BBC Points West,

120 bikes, averaging over 30 miles per hour.

In Nailsworth, they'd been knitting to comlerate
