Welcome to the programme. In the programme tonight: Preparing for the | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
greatest show on Earth. Huge excitement as the Tour de France | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
announces its route to the region. With the two are coming to Britain | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
it will be inspirational from a racing point of view. People will | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
want to compete more and get into the sport a bit more. That and the | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
rest of today's top stories now Police named the pensioner killed in | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
his garage in Luton. A man has been arrested. Dawn raids | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
by officers investigating a multi`million pound wine scam. | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
And, pioneering new bone marrow treatment for a Milton Keynes boy | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
could spell new hope for other patients. | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
Good evening. First tonight, it s been called the greatest show on | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
Earth and it's heading to the region. Today, the Tour de France | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
released details of the route it will take through south | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
Cambridgeshire and Essex when Stage Three comes here next July. We'll | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
look at those in more detail in a moment, but first just an idea of | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
the scale of the race. Cyclists ride more than 3,500 kilometres in 2 | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
stages. Around 12 million people line the routes, with a worldwide TV | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
audience of three and a half billion, which is why there is so | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
much excitement about it in Cambridge. Mike Cartwright was there | :01:35. | :01:45. | |
and joins us now. Yes, today we learned that this | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
sport is where it's all going to begin. These traffic lights are on | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
the starting line for the Tour de France. In eight months time, | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
instead of buses and cars, there will be hundreds of cyclists lined | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
up here will stop big crowds. We expect the race to snake through the | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
city, across Essex and into the capital. This will be the third | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
stage. We knew the race was coming, but in | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
Paris today, after months of speculation, we learned its route. A | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
huge gathering there, anticipation here. Outside Kings in Cambridge, a | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
place the Tour de France really had to pass. It is really important for | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
the city, and the Tour de France is the biggest annual sporting event in | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
the world. We probably won't have anything like this for a long time, | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
and Cambridge is already on the map, but it really will cement its | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
position as the cycling capital of the UK. Into my, the world's best | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
strikers are coming to our part of the world with third stage starting | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
in Kimmeridge. Mark Cavendish will be among them, described as the | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
fastest man on two wheels. I know the roads and all three of the first | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
stages of the Tour de France, I know the roads really well. Hopefully we | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
can make a successful weekend for us. For the tour to come here it is | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
being paid for by the government, but what of its legacy? More | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
youngsters and women in cycling is the hope. Molly is from Huntingdon | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
and is on the verge of joining the junior Olympic squad. I think, with | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
the Tour de France coming to Britain, it will be inspirational | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
from a racing point of view. People will want to compete more and get | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
into the sport a bit more. The last time the Tour de France left France | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
for the UK was in 2007, but in eight months time, the biggest bike race | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
on the planet is heading to our part of the world. | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
Today we spoke to a lot of people on this spot here in Cambridge. Most | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
were very excited about it coming to the city. As for the economy, we are | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
told it will generate somewhere between 100 and ?300 million. We | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
have had some or information which could please some people, and it | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
seems they are going to try and fill in every single pothole on the | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
route. So, good news for drivers to. So, | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
let's take a closer route at where the Tour will be going. Starting by | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
Parker's Piece, the riders will turn towards the centre of the city, down | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
Regents Street and Sidney Street before turning back past the | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
historic colleges of St John's Trinity and Kings. They'll leave the | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
city centre up Trumpington Street. They'll pass up Trumpington Road | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
before turning left onto the A1 01. The peloton then travels down | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
through Great Shelford, past Sawston, crossing the A505. They'll | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
follow that road on past Hinxton under the A11, past Great | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
Chesterford and on to Saffron Walden. Our reporter Ben Bland has | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
been in Saffron Walden today to see the reaction there. | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
A lone cyclist in saffron Walden, outnumbered by caste today, but next | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
July, those on two wheels will rule this way. 200 of the world's best | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
cyclists are coming to town, and that is good news for this cycling | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
shop. The route goes right past the front door. Locally, everyone has | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
been waiting to find out exactly where it is going to come through. | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
There is a big cycling community here with clubs and also a race | :05:24. | :05:32. | |
club. Interest in road bikes have been going phenomenally well. Next | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
July, this street will be completely clear of traffic. The riders will | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
make their way into saffron Walden, down Windmill Hill, and then further | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
into Essex towards Braintree, past Chelmsford, before making their way | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
to London where they will finish outside Buckingham Palace on the | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
mall. But how challenging was part of the Tour de France be? We asked | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
the game at university cycling captain to try it out. It is quite | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
flat. It is quite open and exposed. As it gets towards saffron Walden, | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
it is gently rolling. I don't think it will test them too much. If it is | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
windy like today, they will find it tough. Of course, big sporting | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
events draw big crowds, and that should mean a big boost for local | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
businesses. We hope thousands of people will line the route to cheer | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
the riders on, and hopefully, while they are here, they will be spending | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
money in our shops and cafes and restaurants. They have got just | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
eight months to prepare. Next July, this part of the region will be in | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
the spotlight, hosting a global event that will be the one minutes. | :06:44. | :06:52. | |
`` watched by millions. For more details on the specifics of | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
the route, go to the Tour de France website. Later in the programme | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
we'll be looking at the star riders, and the local ones to look out for. | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
Other news now, and a man who was attacked in his garage yesterday | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
afternoon has been named. 67`year`old Leonard Flower was | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
pronounced dead at the scene in Carnegie Gardens in Luton. A man has | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
been arrested in connection with his murder. | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
Carnegie Gardens lies in a leafy part of Luton, a suburban mass of | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
well`kept gardens, hanging baskets, and neat, roomy houses. But today, a | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
police cordoned marks the tragedy that happened here yesterday | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
afternoon when 67`year`old Leonard flower, a retired computer analyst, | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
was savagely attacked as he tidied his garage. It was a woman | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
delivering leaflets who found him and raise the alarm. The emergency | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
services came very quickly, but it was too late. What is so shocking is | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
that his wife was in the house the whole time and only became of aware | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
of what was happening when she heard sirens and saw paramedics outside. | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
Police say the family, including their two grown`up daughters, have | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
been asked to be left alone to deal with the grief and shock of what has | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
been happened. Tributes have been left here for Leonard. In this area, | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
everyone knows everyone, so to find out that one of our friends has been | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
killed is just terrible. In this area, there has never been anything | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
like this before. It has shaken the whole neighbourhood. It is | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
unbelievable. This is a quiet area. Last night, a 35`year`old man was | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
arrested in Warwickshire on suspicion of murder, and is being | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
questioned at Luton police station. Detectives say they have no clear | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
motive for this crime and asked anyone with information to contact | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
them. MPs in Bedfordshire have today | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
raised further concerns about a federation which runs a group of | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
academies free schools across the county and Hertfordshire. Barnfield | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
Federation is currently under investigation by the Skills Funding | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
Agency and the Department for Education. | :09:09. | :09:17. | |
Barn Field has created something of an education empire in this region. | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
Its approach to reforming schools was even praised by the Education | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
Secretary Michael Gove two years ago. The new studio school is making | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
sure that people who have a real aptitude for hands`on educational | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
have a really aspirational place in which to experience great teaching | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
and to allow their schools to develop. So, who and what is the | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
Barnfield federation? It was formed in 2007 when it took over to failing | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
schools, converting them into academies. Barnfield now has eight | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
schools, with five in Luton. Now it is being investigated by two | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
government departments. There has been an allegation made financial | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
mismanagement. It is the allegation I passed on to the Department for | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
Education, but it is really important, with everything else that | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
is going on around free schools and academies, that Michael Gove steps | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
up to the plate and look at this issue in detail. The Prime Minister | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
has even been asked to widen the investigation, saying it should also | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
look at White Barnfield's application to turn into a free | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
school collapsed. With the Prime Minister use his good offices to | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
ensure that the failed free school application is incorporated into | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
this inquiry? The Barnfield federation said the investigation | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
relates to this place, the Barnfield College, and not any of its | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
academies. They also went on to point out that the investigation | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
relates to the previous management here, and have nothing to do with | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
the standards of education. Barnfield also points out that the | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
college has significant cash reserves and is financially viable, | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
so. And pupils, despite this investigation, it is business as | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
usual. Three people have been arrested by | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
police investigating a wine scam operating from Milton Keynes. They | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
believe almost 200 victims have lost more than ?3 million. The company | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
claimed it was selling fine wine as an investment over several years. | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
But the wine had never been made. Raids were carried out by Thames | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
Valley Police early today at two properties in Essex. Officers | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
arrested a 22`year`old man, a 23`year`old woman, and a 47`year`old | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
man on suspicion of fraud and money`laundering. Police say a | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
company called worldwide wine investments, based in Milton Keynes, | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
claimed to have been offering customers the opportunity to invest | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
in fine wine from Bordeaux. The firm marketed itself nationally, with | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
advertisements in the Telegraph and had printed brochures and a website. | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
Investigating officers say the company had been carrying out its | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
business from rented space in this office block in Milton Keynes. They | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
say many victims were elderly, and had been cold called by the firm and | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
persuaded to invest. In total, police say victims have lost more | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
than ?3 million. Some paid out large sums from their pension funds. It | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
was sophisticated. They set up a scheme whereby the wine was being | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
imported from France, so people were invested in it before it was bottle. | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
People had a long wait before they realised their investment. | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
Meanwhile, the minute left the country and beat suspects left the | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
offices. The arrests are the first in connection with what police are | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
calling a serious financial fraud. Officers are now trying to trace the | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
money that they believe worldwide wine investments made, but suspect | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
much of this may have been transferred abroad. Please say that | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
while the operation was run out of Milton Keynes, that victims are | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
based all over the country, and that more may yet come forward. | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
Eight people have been treated for injuries after a crash on the M on | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
the Bedfordshire ` Buckinghamshire border. It happened on the | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
northbound carriageway between junctions 13 and 14, and involved a | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
lorry and two cars. The motorway was closed in both directions. | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
And there have been problems for Greater Anglia rail passengers | :13:26. | :13:27. | |
between Cambridge and London Liverpool Street this afternoon | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
Overhead lines were damaged between Sawbridgeworth and Bishops | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
Stortford, closing the line altogether. It meant long delays and | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
cancellations. The lines were reopend just before 6pm but there | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
are knock`on delays. A section of Bletchley Park which | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
has been derelict for decades is to reopen as a new visitor centre | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
thanks to an American internet security company. McAfee has signed | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
a five`year deal with the World War Two code`breaking site to help | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
develop it as a centre for educational excellence. Workshops | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
will be run at the new Computer Learning Zone to educate visitors | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
about the ever`evolving cyber threat. It's part of the ongoing | :13:57. | :13:58. | |
restoration better. `` rate the care. Specialist | :13:59. | :13:59. | |
dementia and nursing care here is quoted as ?750 per week. | :14:00. | :14:07. | |
Also coming up: Who do watch out for when the best | :14:08. | :14:15. | |
cyclist in the world come here for the Tour de France. | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
Why drivers are being forced to pay the price of four lost parking. `` | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
for careless parking. A schoolboy from Milton Keynes has | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
become one of the first children in the world to undergo a transplant | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
operation using a pioneering technique. | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
Mohammed Ahmed was chosen because he needed a life saving bone marrow | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
transplant. What makes this treatment special is that you don't | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
need a perfect cell match and that could solve the problem of a | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
shortage of donors. Helen Drew has been to the Great | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
Ormond Street Hospital for our special report tonight. | :14:48. | :14:55. | |
Enjoying a family afternoon in the playground but life has not always | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
been so upbeat for this family. Mohamed Gedo four, waited years for | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
a bone transplant. `` Muhammed, four. He has a weak immune system, | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
as did his sister. He has become the second child in the world to try a | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
new bone marrow transplant technique with his dad as a donor. They said | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
to me, this treatment is the only home otherwise he could die. So we | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
have not got a choice. We were just hoping and praying to God that he | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
will get better. The treatment was carried out as part of a study at | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
Great Ormond Street Hospital, along with the Institute Of Child Health. | :15:36. | :15:45. | |
It allows the use of cells that are not a perfect match. The doctors | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
take donated cells and engineers safety switch so that once the cells | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
are put in the patient body, if they attack the body because they are not | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
a patient match, they can effect be killed off. That will have | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
applications beyond this particular study for other conditions. Some | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
types of leukaemia, when some of those conditions are not treated | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
with normal chemotherapy and need extra treatment. There is a whole | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
bunch of studies in the pipeline, not just here but across the adult | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
centres also, using the same platform of technology and the | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
expertise that we have developed. For Mohammed Afroz family, it has | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
been a success. He is taking his medication but a minimal amount to | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
keep him better. `` Muhammed and his family. Otherwise, he is fine. He is | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
all right. It is only a trial at the moment but the hope is that this new | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
technique will help with donor shortages so that children like him | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
not have to wait years for potentially life`saving operations. | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
Let's return to our top story now ` the announcement that next summer's | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
Tour de France will pass through our region. On Monday seventh July, the | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
huge convoy will race from Cambridge through Essex and into London. Of | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
course, the last two champions were from this country. Chris Froome won | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
it this year and Sir Bradley Wiggins in 2012. So who are the hot tips for | :17:08. | :17:19. | |
next year? This from Tom Williams. The Tour de France, the world's | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
greatest annual sporting event. Next year, the 101st edition returning to | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
these shores for the fourth time in a race the Brits have started to | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
dominate. For me, it feels like a real privilege to have the tour | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
coming to the UK. Going there as a defending champion, if you like. I | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
was bowled over this year at the support we had in France so I can | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
only imagine what it is going to be like. It is going to be massive. | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
only imagine what it is going to be Chris Froome unquestionably OBD man | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
to beat in 2014. Unflappable, , en route to winning this year. Cool | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
under pressure and in the spotlight. For his opponents, no | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
apparent weakness. Yes, I think definitely Chris Froome is again | :18:13. | :18:26. | |
favourite but maybe also Rodriguez. He is now established as Team Sky's | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
number one rider. However, Sir Bradley Wiggins could yet hold out | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
`` help out. The two men have won the last two editions of the tour. | :18:37. | :18:44. | |
It is unlikely there will be `` he will be ``. `` make up for Alberto | :18:45. | :18:53. | |
Contador, winner of five grand jurors. Of course, Britain's Mark | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
Cavendish, 25 stage wins putting him third on the all`time list. For the | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
Tour de France to visit the UK for the second time in my career is | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
something I could not have imagined. To be an ambassador, it is a great | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
honour and I would love to be successful there. The world's | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
greatest riders cycling the streets in this region. You won't need a | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
ticket. A short while ago, I spoke to Ann | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
Naylor from Essex County Council. She is the Cabinet Member for Public | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
Health Wellbeing and is involved in planning for the Tour de France. | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
She is delighted the race is coming to Essex. | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
It is already a classic. It occurs and so many calendars and pitches of | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
Essex. It just is the prettiest place in the world. It has a duck | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
pond, a church, a slanting green. It is just such a pretty place. | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
Millions of people will be watching on television and a lot of people | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
will be watching live. Have you thought about the safety? Of course. | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
We had a great history for the safety aspects being covered for the | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
Olympic Games, we were in combination with the city of London | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
and other forces while the Olympics were on in Stratford. We also have | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
the white`water rafting and the mountain biking. The safety aspects | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
were always on our mind. Have you put a value on this, how much you | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
think it is worth to the county? No, we have not. It is really very | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
difficult to quantify. It will not cost us anything in absolute terms. | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
It is a self funding organisation. We just think that people will have | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
a jolly good time. There will be marketing opportunities, | :20:37. | :20:38. | |
opportunities for people to stay, to eat, to enjoy Essex. I think it is a | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
great thing that is happening to us. You are the Cabinet Minister for | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
health and well`being, how is the cycle race going to help you? Heart | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
of the East of `` ethos of public health is that people should look | :20:57. | :20:58. | |
after themselves and seeing people being active is a very important | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
part of public health. We would encourage everybody to take up sport | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
and to be active and to improve their general health. It is very | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
important to me. Will you turn out and watches as it goes through? And | :21:10. | :21:11. | |
hopeful! and watches as it goes through? And | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
watch it as it goes through. If you're going to be involved, we | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
would like to hear from you. You can phone or a nail or contact us | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
through Twitter or Facebook. We look forward to hearing from you. `` a | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
nail. There are claims today that hundreds | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
of drivers have been fined for offences in a council`run car park | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
because they were forgetful or a bit careless. The scale of the fines in | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
the market Town of Sudbury in Suffolk has been made known under | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
the Freedom of Information act. The main offences were for people | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
not displaying a ticket in their windscreen ` even though parking is | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
free for the first three hours. And others have been forced to pay a | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
penalty because they didn't ` or couldn't ` park within the allocated | :21:52. | :21:59. | |
bays. Mike Liggins reports. The Station Road car park in Sudbury | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
and everything is fine. Unless, that is, you get a fine. It is actually | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
free to parking is car park but you do need a ticket. If you do not have | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
one, you will get a ticket. To explain, you get three hours free | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
parking but you do need a ticket putting your window. Last year, 2851 | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
people were fined ?25 for not displaying a ticket. The reason we | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
know this is because David Holland, who runs a curtain shop in the town, | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
admitted a Freedom of Information request to the district council. We | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
want people to come here and spend their money. We want people to come | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
and visit us. It is a lovely old marketing. We need people to come | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
here. The last thing we want is parking regimes from the district | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
council which actually makes people want to stay away. That is precisely | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
what is happening now. Back in the car park, the car park attendant has | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
spotted us. Not keen to appear on TV, he takes refuge behind a tree. I | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
could not help noticing that you are a bit wonky. Also last year, 342 | :23:13. | :23:20. | |
people were fined. A bit wonky. For not parking in the base properly. | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
Keen to stop people getting a ticket, I decided to put one or two | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
on the straight and narrow. It is not brilliant. You have said it | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
yourself. We would not want you to get a fine now, would we? No. Want | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
another go? I think I will. get a fine now, would we? No. Want | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
District Council collected ?87,000 in car parking fines last year. A | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
spokesperson said they would much prefer people to use it | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
appropriately so they did not have to give friends. A warning he did by | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
our friend Robert. `` give out fines. | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
He would make an excellent parking attendant. An alternative career! | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
He would make an excellent parking Sometimes. But | :24:07. | :24:06. | |
He would make an excellent parking Sometimes. That is not what you told | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
me just now. If I have a lot of time. You like to park on the line | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
and then you know where you are. I think I would be find all the time | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
at that car park. Let's have a look at the weather. | :24:19. | :24:19. | |
at that Good evening. We have really like | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
the weather last night. Mark sent us this photograph showing a lightning | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
bolt in the hub, just above that, in central Milton Keynes. Things did | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
calm down a bit more today. We have seen something conditions across the | :24:36. | :24:37. | |
region. There was some showers first thing. This is our satellite and | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
reader looking, showing the front that borders the rain. Then we for | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
brighter skies. `` that brought us the room. It has stayed quite windy | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
but they have now eased and they will continue to do so overnight. | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
Whether clear skies and light winds, that means we are in for a chilly | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
night from last May. Temperatures certainly getting down into single | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
figures across the board. `` last night. The chance of mist and fog | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
forming into tomorrow. They will be quite isolated. These are the | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
typical temperatures we can expect in towns and cities. Certainly, I'd | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
no country said, it could let what about colder. Take a couple of | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
degrees of those values. In terms of winds, we have a south`westerly. `` | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
quite a bit colder. It is going to be a chilly start to tomorrow but | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
quite a fine autumn day with sunny spells and light winds. It should be | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
quite comfortable. Any mist and fog clearing away quite quickly and | :25:34. | :25:35. | |
plenty of sunshine through tomorrow morning. As we get into the | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
afternoon, the tendency for a bit more cloud to start to form. The | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
winds should stay light and it should stay dry for all tomorrow. | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
Temperatures getting to around 16 degrees. That is 61 Fahrenheit. The | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
winds clinging to a southeasterly direction but a light went for most | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
of the day and then we have got changes on the way. The amount of | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
cloud will increase from the West into the evening and overnight. | :26:02. | :26:03. | |
Eventually bringing a family. Some of this could be quite heavy. `` | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
bringing us some rain. If this is how the rain, weather is shaping up. | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
It is all coming in on this area of low pressure. `` this is how the | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
weather is shaping up. Going to keep those in strong winds into the | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
weekend and for the start of next week. Make the most of tomorrow. It | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
will be a fine day indeed. Increasing amounts of cloud later on | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
will bring us rain and it should clear away through Friday. It is | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
going to stay very windy through the day on Friday. Temperatures | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
climbing. Still quite mild. Some of this rain is heavy. A better | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
prospect of something drier, perhaps brighter, into the afternoon. At the | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
moment, a dry start to weaken. Still windy. Some rain turning up later on | :26:46. | :26:54. | |
Saturday. Some heavy showers around for Sunday. Overnight lows, don't | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
forget that tonight will be our chilly night but after that, we get | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
into double figures. We have some mild nights on the you very much. | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
That is it. We will see you tomorrow. Good night. | :27:07. | :27:07. | |
Goodbye. | :27:08. | :27:10. |
