He's been on assignment with the London Mayor, Boris Johnson | :00:00. | :00:32. | |
And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Dominic Heale, Good | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
evening. Villagers are opposing plans to develop one of the | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
country's largest sand and gravel quarries only a few hundred yards | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
from their homes. They say ht'll be catastrophic for wildlife and the | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
environment.The 80`hectare site will stretch from the village of Barton | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
In Fabis in Nottinghamshire to the border of the Attenborough Nature | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
reserve and over to Clifton. Here's our chief news reporter, Qudntin | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
Rayner. Barton In Fabis is raising an army to fight this proposed | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
quarry. Villagers and Rambldrs rallying to defend what thex regard | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
as a precious piece of countryside for both people and wildlifd. The | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
proposed area is the equivelant of 36 Old Market Squares in Nottingham | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
and will border the Attenborough Nature Reserve behind me and will | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
stretch all the way to thosd woods in the distance. It feels lhke we're | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
under attack. We have had the A 53 widening, a tram put in, a housing | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
development and now they want to dig up this land as well. When xou look | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
at the landscape here, how beautiful it is, this is going to be destroyed | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
if we do not do something about it. The council says it has a statutory | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
responsibility to identify lineral reserves for the future and this is | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
one of five new quarries it has to consider. We are obliged by central | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
government to find sites for mineral extraction, we have to find sites | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
for up to 49 million tonnes of sand and gravel extraction by thd year | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
2030, that will be used for projects such as houses, roads and r`il | :01:46. | :01:57. | |
projects. If approved, thred million tonnes of sand and gravel whll be | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
excavated from the site. Thhs is potentially catastrophic for this | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
part of Nottingham. It is bding stolen from under our noses. We have | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
a nature reserve just across the river there and the valley hs used | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
by birds, 75 types of conservation concern. So far, 2,000 leaflets | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
about the scheme have been delivered, another 1,000 will be | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
dropping through letterboxes in the next couple of days. | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
Police have named two men who died in a plane crash at the weekend The | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
light aircraft came down in a field near the M1 motorway in | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
Nottinghamshire on Saturday afternoon. 70`year`old John Gill | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
from Belper and 76`year`old Robert Eaves from Selston died at the | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
scene. Police say there werd no medical conditions that contributed | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
to the crash. An air accident investigation is continuing. | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
Leicester's hospitals have the biggest cash shortfall in the | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
country. That claim's been lade today by the Labour Party. HT says | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
the big deficit shows the NHS is in crisis. Carolyn Moses reports. | :03:04. | :03:14. | |
Lester's hospitals have strtggled with their financial health for | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
years. Now the University hospitals have left the trust in charge it has | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
been found to be working with the biggest shortfall in the cotntry, | :03:28. | :03:36. | |
just under ?40 million. We `s a health economy and trust cotld | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
clearly have done better. Wd are working closely with partners to | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
work out better ways of meeting those challenges, to access patient | :03:46. | :03:54. | |
quality and finances. Why is it in this situation? The trust s`ys it | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
has not received as much money as expected from other parts of the | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
NHS, bus its wage bill has risen sharply. The health minister who | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
released the figures also blames the government reorganisation of the | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
health service. It does not make sense to cut figures so that people | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
end up in hospital. It does not do to reorganise the back structures to | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
be more complicated. The trtst says it has a plan in place to gdt back | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
to financial fitness but th`t could take a number of years. In ` | :04:39. | :04:48. | |
statement, the Department of Health says, "The Government has m`de tough | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
decisions on the economy but at the same time we have increased the NHS | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
budget in real terms. It is essential that Trusts have ` tight | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
financial grip and ensure they live within their means. Deliverhng high | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
quality services and balanchng the books must go hand in hand." Some | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
students affected by a blood test scare at the University of Derby are | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
now seeking compensation. More than 600 people were given blood tests by | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
a health care worker who was later found to be re`using syringd | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
barrels. Letters were sent warning students they might be at rhsk of | :05:19. | :05:27. | |
diseases like hepatitis and HIV Several have now begun legal action. | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
The university says an investigation is underway. Fresh from his victory | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
in the hotly`contested Newark by`election, Conservative MP Robert | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
Jenrick, has asked his first question in the House of Colmons. Mr | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
Jenrick was loudly cheered by his fellow Tory MPs before posing a | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
question to the Prime Minister about the flooding in Southwell l`st | :05:49. | :05:56. | |
summer. I regret to inform the Prime Minister that a town in my | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
constituency was again flooded last week. We'll be Prime Ministdr | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
reaffirmed his commitment to support my proposal that those parts of | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
Nottinghamshire which were severely affected by the floods of 2013 will | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
receive similar grants to those parts of the country flooded earlier | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
this year? Well, David Cameron responded by saying he's looking at | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
whether the county could be made eligible for winter flood | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
compensation. 100 new bus thmetables in Leicester have got to be taken | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
down and repositioned. Contractors placed them too high for people to | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
read. It was all due apparently to the shape of the lamp posts. The | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
council's now having them rddone. That's your news. So, it's goodbye | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
from me, but with your weather now, here's Anna Church. Thank you. We | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
have had the warm day to dax and they settled weather is set to | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
continue for the rest of thd week. I am hopeful we should see sole decent | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
sunny spells by tomorrow afternoon. There are clear skies at thd moment. | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
The cloud will increase frol the North into the early hours of | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
Thursday morning. It is a mhld night. Tomorrow morning, a cloudy | :07:06. | :07:14. | |
start. The chance for a little light patchy rain or drizzle but lost of | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
ours will get away with a Friday. Into the afternoon the cloud will | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
fin and break to give some sunny spells. Another warm afternoon. I'll | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
leave you with the outlook. Celsius. The outlook for the weekend | :07:29. | :07:36. | |
is looking pretty good. | :07:37. | :07:39. |
