Now it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Maurice Flynn. | :00:13. | :00:22. | |
of Nottingham's trams say they're furious work's been delayed. | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
The ?570 million project should have been ready for passengers | :00:27. | :00:28. | |

Tiling on the road in Chillwell But the contractors have missed the | :00:31. | :00:52. | |
deadline which would have sden the tram we opened by December. It is | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
dire. The whole of the road are struggling. From very early on we | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
were OK, but now we have had to close on a Thursday now, because of | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
the impact because people are frustrated about how to get here. | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
I'm absolutely furious, to wake up in the morning and see it in the | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
papers, without being told `bout it first. It is an absolute disgrace. | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
Julie Cameron's shop is getting compensation from the city `nd | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
county councils. She is recdiving around 15 `` ?1500 month, btt she is | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
losing most of her trade, and traders here can only claim back 70% | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
of their losses. It has been obvious to everyone here that this was not | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
going to be finished by Decdmber. As recently as Monday, the contractors | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
assured us that they were still on course for that, but it was clear | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
that they weren't. Things h`ve been so tough that a special hardship | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
fund has already paid out ?000, 00, with the prospect of more to come. | :02:00. | :02:02. | |

It is not going to be the 14th of December or the 15th | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
of December, which would have been operational services. | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
It will be as early in the new year as we can possibly makd it | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
It will be as early as we can possibly make it. | :02:29. | :02:31. | |

The family of John McGrath and William Barnard arrive | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
at the inquest in Nottinghal to view the coroner's findings. | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
If mental health workers and police had done | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
their jobs properly and thoroughly, William Barnard would not h`ve been | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
John McGrath was stabbed to death at his home in Stapleton | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
We knew as a family all the circumstances, but we w`nted | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
the wider world to see all the failings that have been out there, | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
William had been diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
but hadn't been taking his medication for months. | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
He had also been the prime suspect in a street robbery | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
An independent enquiry found three police officers had | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
Nottinghamshire Police has since issued them with management advice. | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
We have had an opportunity this week to speak to | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
the family ourselves and apologise for that, and we are writing to them | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
after today to discuss how we can maintain further contact and assure | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
Mr McGrath's family fought for the hearing to be held, | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
They say it was making sure that John hadn't died in vain th`t had | :04:02. | :04:08. | |

A travel agents in Derbyshire was robbed today. | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
Police say a man with a knife threatened staff at Thomsons | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
He stole foreign currencies, including the Jamaican Doll`r, | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
Croatian Kuna and Euros, from the safe before fleeing. | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
Concern has been raised abott the number of solar parks planned | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
Energy companies want to secure new locations before governlent | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
But people living in villagds near Loughborough fear they're | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
In the heart of rural Leicestershire known for its simple yet sttnning | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
landscape, over 40 acres of this agricultural land could soon | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
With other solar fields being considered in the local are`, | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
some residents think that this is not the right location. | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
I think we have got a tension here between food production on one hand | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
My view is that the energy parks, the solar parks, could be shted | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
in other places, so we are not losing valuable land like this. | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
Emotions run high as the colpany behind this project explain how they | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
They say it would generate dnough energy to power nearly 3000 homes | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
while protecting the local environment. | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
There will be areas for plants to grow, and that | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
encourages a more diverse r`nge of species and habitats and it | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
The prospect of it is making me furious. | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
I think it is industrialisation of the countryside, | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
and I really don't think it is an appropriate place to put it at all. | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
Down the road in Wyneswold, one of the largest solar farms in the UK is | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
The government is proposing to limit the subsidies for large | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
Developers will be keen to complete new sites as soon as possible, | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
with the wealth of land in rural Leicestershire, companies m`y see it | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
