Hello there, thanks for joining us for news herd in | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
It's being claimed that despite cutbacks, councils hn our | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
The Tax Payers Alliance highlighted one council which spent ?4,400 | :00:21. | :00:28. | |
Local authorities have dismhssed their claims as inaccurate or out | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
Campaigning in Leicester thhs morning. The cost of consultants is | :00:35. | :00:52. | |
a particular target, includhng environmental consultants whth | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
sensitive noses because the council says smells from waste plant had to | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
be checked. There is nothing wrong with encouraging good environmental | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
behaviour and making sure the air is clean for the local residents but | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
you have to be sure you do not waste money and fritter it away. The | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
In Nottingham John supports the alliance which has a wide r`nge of | :01:10. | :01:19. | |
views but even John does not agree with all of the points on the | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
leaflet he and Saud. ?4450 for a Christmas tree, the council says it | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
was four years ago and it w`s raising money for needy children as | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
well. Yes. It is expenditurd which probably shouldn't be repeated too | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
often but I must admit personally I would not begrudge it but there we | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
are. We are in a general ovdrall team effort because there are vast | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
amounts of expenditures that is not a very good example. The cotncil | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
said in the same period and of far greater significance they c`rried | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
out savings worth ?150 millhon. The group will continue challenging | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
public spending on tour arotnd the country. | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
A row has broken out after a council in the East Midlands was | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
told it broke European union rules by awarding a contract to a local | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
firm, instead of inviting tdnders from the rest of the Europe. | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
The contract to improve Mansfield railway station was worth ?050, 00. | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
The district council will now having to repay the costs even | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
though the contract was negotiated through the former | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
Speaking on today's Sunday Politics, one of the region's new MEPs warned | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
that other contracts may brdak European competition rules. | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
You see the heavy hand of Etropean legislation which takes over from | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
what would perhaps be a comlon`sense approach if we were not unddr EU | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
law. It would be right to bd able to give contracts to local companies | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
but, of course, they broke the spirit of the agreement which was | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
basically that you have two open it up to competition. | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
A disabled man is today ascdnding one of Britain's highest motntains, | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
Will Blanche from Sandiacre in Derbyshire, seen here tr`ining, | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
It's part of the Three Peaks Challenge. | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
Yesterday he completed the climb of Skiddaw in the Lake District | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
But Friday's attempt on Ben Nevis had to be abandoned because | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
Three of our most historic churchds are to | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
The money from the Heritage Lottery Fund will `llow | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
Steeped in history but in ddsperate need of repair, Saint Peters Church | :03:36. | :03:50. | |
in a picturesque Leicestershire village is already having urgent | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
work carried out on its buydr. Now, thanks to a ?150,000 grant, more | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
essential repairs on a historic bell tower can be complicated. It has | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
weathered very badly over the centuries and we need to restore and | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
repair a lot of that to enstre that we can carry on. Saint Peters is one | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
of three churches in the East Midlands which has been picked to | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
share ?500,000 from the Herhtage Lottery Fund. All three churches | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
have been chosen because thdy have particular historical significance | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
with fascinating stories behind them. The grade one listed church | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
has been a landmark for travellers for more than 900 years and it | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
boasts significant features like hot gargoyles and it houses the tombs of | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
the Digby family which date back to the 13th century. If we can raise | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
3000 or ?4000 in a year, th`t is an extraordinary amount of mondy and a | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
year, that is an extraordin`ry amount of money is essential? It is | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
essential to get the church back so it is standing on part of the | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
horizon for the next 100 ye`rs and that would be wonderful. | :05:07. | :05:07. | |
That's the news, let's take a look at the weather now from Charlie | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
That's the news, let's take a look at the weather now from Charlie | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
After a very soggy start to the day things recovered quite nicely and | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
this evening is not too bad. There is a bitter brightness around. The | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
showers start to build up again and we look at overnight lows of 13 or | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
14 degrees. As we make our way out into the countryside it will be a | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
bit cooler out there. On Sunday there is cloud around which is worst | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
in eastern areas. In the afternoon we should all see sunshine for a | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
time but unfortunately as the sun develops so do the showers `nd some | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
of the showers have potenti`l to turn heavier thundery as well. In | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
the new working week it rem`ins mainly dry and bright and stnny as | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
well but you may have to dodge the occasional shower. | :05:56. | :05:56. | |
We're back just after 10.45pm. I'll see you then, have a lovely evening. | :05:57. | :06:07. | |
Hello again. Today's big event was certainly blessed by fine weather, | :06:08. | :06:16. | |
but there has been some rain around here and there. Those showers will | :06:17. | :06:25. | |
continue to drift further east over the next few hours, but by and | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
large, they should become more confined to western areas. These are | :06:30. | :06:38. | |
the sorts of temperatures we will see in towns and cities. We have to | :06:39. | :06:47. | |
talk about a mix of sunny spells and showers once again for much of the | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
day tomorrow. Very few places will miss out on the | :06:54. | :06:55. |
