In And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Dominic Heale, good | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
evening. An inquest has heard how a pensioner | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
died after she was left unsupervised in a care home with solid food she | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
shouldn't have been eating. The care home looking after Betty Arch was so | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
bad the Care Quality Commission took the unusual step of forcing it to | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
close. Our health correspondent Rob Sissons reports. Betty Arch was 87, | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
she had been left unsupervised in a room with the leftovers of | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
sandwiches. Even though she was not supposed to have solids. Care plans | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
were not kept up to date at the home and nutrition was not properly | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
monitored. Staff reported being run ragged. They told the inquest they | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
had not done enough. It happened back in 2012 and the now closed | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
Spring Lane residential home at Langley in Nottinghamshire was the | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
venue. We heard about a catalogue of feelings and inspectors became | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
concerned. The owner was Shirley Paul, carrying this white not bad, | :01:14. | :01:21. | |
which she used to hide her face. She told the coroner she had nothing to | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
do with care homes and has no plans to get involved in them again. She | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
was asked during the hearing, directly by the coroner, if she | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
understood the unexplained death. She said it had been investigated. | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
The coroner said there was a great deal you did not know. The manager | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
of the care home, Catherine Maltby, she said she had asked for more | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
staff but it was not met with a positive response from the care home | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
owner. The coroners questioned whether | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
tablecloths may have been removed from the tables to save on Monday | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
bills. The Care Quality Commission said | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
they had no other choice but to close this home and to go to court | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
to do it. The judge agreed, the owner contested it. The hearing has | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
been adjourned for the coroner to deliver her conclusion. | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
Dramatic pictures of the moment an elderly woman was robbed in | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
Leicestershire have been released to try to trace her attacker. It | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
happened in Melton Mowbray in December. Police want to identify | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
the man seen here on CCTV. He turns round, approaches the 75`year`old | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
from behind and grabs her bag. The pensioner suffered only minor | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
injuries. Tonight, officers say they've been contacted by people | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
offering information about who the man might be. | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
Next tonight, the blind man refused service because of his guide dog. | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
Steve Cunningham told us a restaurant turned him away and then | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
a takeaway refused to let him in unless he left his Alsatian outside. | :03:01. | :03:10. | |
Sarah Teale reports. I wanted to change the negative | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
focus of a disability to a one. This is Steve Cunningham, giving a | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
motivational talk, something he does at every day. He encourages people | :03:19. | :03:27. | |
to understand disability. So he was particularly disgusted at his | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
treatment at these two premises. Steve said first this restaurant | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
refused to allow him to gain with his ulceration dog. Despite being | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
allowed into this kebab house on Tuesday, last night, they were both | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
told to leave `` Alsatian dog. You should not be in a situation where | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
you are faced with these challenges and barriers. Gade dogs for the | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Blind and the general public spent thousands of pounds enabling an | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
amazing animallike Foster to help me with my independence. To slap me in | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
the face by not allowing me into a restaurant as incorrect. Blind and | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
partially sighted people are entitled to the same rights as | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
services like restaurants as everyone else. They should amend a | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
no dogs policy to allow gay dogs onto the premises, that is what | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
Steve Cunningham believes. Steve went blind at the age of 12, the | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
same age as Alice, one of the pupils who listens to him speak today. She | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
is going to have her first gay dog on, how will she feel if she gets | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
thrown out of a venue? It must stop. Well, the owner of both premises | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
told us tonight that staff had not been aware of the laws surrounding | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
guide dogs. `` deed dog. They've apologised and said no offence was | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
intended. A motorist from Leicestershire is | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
calling for a roundabout to be re`painted after she was involved in | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
an accident. Ann Corbett hit another car in Whitwick ` she says she | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
didn't see the roundabout as the paint was so faded. Helen Astle | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
reports. This is the roundabout that's the problem. Motorists do not | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
seem to see it, so they do not stop. Ann Corbett hit another car because | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
she didn't realise the roundabout was there. The first I knew about it | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
was a crunch on the side of the car. I had seen no road markings that had | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
led me to think that I needed to stop at the junction. I considered | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
it to be very worn out and dangerous because two other people, heard | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
speaking, said there had been two accidents there that week. | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
We have only been here 15 minutes or so and nearly every driver chooses | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
to either ignore or doesn't see the roundabout. Locals say it is | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
dangerous. It is very low, you go straight over it. And that's just | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
rubbing all of the paintwork off, so anyone not knowing the area, it's | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
very hard to see and you can easily get caught out. People pulling out | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
the junction and many a time it is either clear or someone goes into | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
the railings on the other side because they are trying to avoid it. | :06:01. | :06:11. | |
It is quite common, actually. Ann Corbett's accident was in November | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
and she has asked the county council to ask for the roundabout to be | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
repainted. I am concerned for other people and County Hall has assured | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
me that they would send someone out. Had they seen the state of it, | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
surely they should have done something about it. Leicestershire | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
County Council says it has visited the site and the road markings are | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
due to be repainted in the next few weeks. | :06:38. | :06:38. | |
Time for the weather. We are in for a drier mates tonight | :06:39. | :06:51. | |
with clearer skies making it feel quite chilly. The rain has moved | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
away but we still have one or two showers at the moment. Those will | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
ease away. We have lighter winds with temperature starting to drop. | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
We are looking at the likes of three Celsius for towns and cities, rural | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
areas may get a touch of frost. A cold starts to Friday, bright and | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
sunny. More cloud through the afternoon and then a scattering of | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
showers. The showers are likely to be heavy in nature with the risk of | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
hail and thunder. There could be strengthening South`Westerly winds | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
and temperatures struggling to get into double figures. I will leave | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
you with the outlook for the next few days. You | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
fairly cool stuff, showers coming through and that's the theme. I will | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
leave you with that summary. Good evening. The skies were clear for | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
most parts of the UK and it will turn quite cold but we have to get | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
rid of the band of rain slipping its | :07:47. | :07:47. |
