Good evening. One of That's all from us. | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
Good evening. One of Cambridgeshire's most outspoken | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
business leaders says the l`test investment for Cambridge is nowhere | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
near enough. Unveiled in thd budget, City Deal status could be worth ?1 | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
billion to the county. A government grant of ?500 million with local | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
authorities expected to match it. But only the first ?100 million of | :00:28. | :00:35. | |
Government money is guarantded. The last two chunks are due in 2019 and | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
2024 and subject to agreement. The money would be spent on roads, | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
public transport and cycling links. But John Bridge, chief execttive of | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
the Cambridgeshire Chamber of Commerce, says it will 'bardly | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
touch' the region's infrastructure needs. This city deal for C`mbridge | :00:50. | :01:02. | |
was deemed so important that the Chancellor announced it in his | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
budget speech. But now they Cambridge area Chambers of commerce | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
says it is inadequate. Is it a real Deal or a raw deal. We think it is | :01:17. | :01:26. | |
the latter. We think it is totally inadequate. Surprise becausd his | :01:27. | :01:43. | |
views do not accord with wh`t I ve heard in the business community We | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
have negotiated this deal whth many business leaders in Cambridge. I | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
think it is enough. It is developments like this that | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
highlight how quickly the chty is growing. Eventually 17,000 people | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
will work here. The populathon of Cambridge is expected to rise by 20% | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
`` 30% in the next 20 years. Companies like this are part of this | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
growth. They interpret x`raxs and scans for vets. Already it hs the | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
biggest company of its kind in Europe. They could have set up | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
anywhere. We picked Cambridge because there was a vibe about this | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
area. There is a great infrastructure here for growing | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
businesses. But the growth of Cambridge has brought big problems. | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
Not enough affordable housing. It is this that the City Deal Status is | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
supposed to address. It guarantees ?109 up to a possible billion. Every | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
possible `` every pound will be welcome. | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
They've been nearly two years in the planning and have already cost more | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
than ?2 million. But today plans for three controversial solar f`rms in | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
Peterborough are back under review. Tonight the local MP branded the | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
project a shambles. Emma Batgh reports. A way to make cash strapped | :03:14. | :03:22. | |
council 's make millions. In the farmland around Peterborough, lands | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
of one of the biggest sites in Europe but so far not one p`nel has | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
been laid. It is planned to elder one of the farms here. Many people | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
living locally have thought it would have been else by now. As you can | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
see, this is not the case. Plans for the solar farms were first tnveiled | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
in September 2012. In June last year, hundreds protested about the | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
plans and in November archadologists were brought in to check thd sites. | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
Now a working party has been set up to look again at the impact of the | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
plan. This man's family has farmed here for almost a century and he has | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
openers the plants in the bdginning. He will lose some land if it goes | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
ahead and welcomes the revidw. You can say that the battle is one but | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
not the war. I think it is nice that everybody has got behind us. We are | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
just showing what people power can do. The council says the solar park | :04:32. | :04:39. | |
will generate huge amounts of electricity and income. Eddhe says | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
it is a major decision and they want to make sure people are givdn a fool | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
opportunity to have their s`y. Council workers in Milton Kdynes | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
have been protesting over a one per cent pay offer which they s`y isn't | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
enough. Unions say some workers are | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
struggling to make ends meet. And that the chief executive's salary, | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
of more than ?150,000, is disproportionately high. Few in | :05:04. | :05:15. | |
number but a protest for many. Local council workers struggling to make | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
ends meet. This lady says EPA frees forced her to sell her home. | :05:22. | :05:31. | |
Property races here are so high Many of their members are cleaners | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
and caterers. Many earning less than the living wage, compare th`t with | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
the salary of the Chief Executive. David Hill Emms ?154,000 can you | :05:45. | :05:53. | |
understand what some of thel are complaining about? I can understand | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
that but in a complex organhsation like this you have to have seen your | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
managers who are capable of taking complex decisions. I agree ht is a | :06:07. | :06:15. | |
big job but lots of our members are also doing a difficult jobs. The | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
people at the lowest end of the pay scale also deserve a decent pay | :06:22. | :06:30. | |
award. With pressure on budgets the government would argue it would be | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
difficult to offer more. In football, Just one of our teams | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
was in action tonight. In Ldague One, relegation threatened Stevenage | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
drew 0`0 at home to leaders Wolves to close the gap to safety to a | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
single point. That's all from the late te`m. Let's | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
get the weather now with Aldx Dolan. Temperatures are not expectdd to | :06:45. | :06:57. | |
fall to more tonight but thdre be increasing amounts of cloud. There | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
could be isolated showers btt for many of us it looks dry. We start | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
tomorrow at a reasonable telperature and it should soon warm up `s the | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
sunshine breaks through. It will feel warm with sunny spells, | :07:14. | :07:23. | |
temperatures up to 18 or 19 Celsius. It looks largely dry into the | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
afternoon. Here is our outlook. A little cooler for Thursday `nd the | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
chance of some showers by Friday. the afternoon. The outlook, rather | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
cloudy with some rain on Thursday. Good evening. Before we get to the | :07:34. | :07:44. | |
weather details, little bit about the pollution which we have been | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
talking about in the weather reports over the last couple of days. The | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
pollution levels actually during the course of Wednesday, tomorrow, will | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
be very high across a large swathe of the country. A couple of reasons | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
why this is happening. During today, high levels of pollution across | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
parts of East Anglia but you can see how extensive it becomes tomorrow. | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
One of the reasons this is happening is because of a light wind dragging | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
pollution from here in our direction and on top of that, our own | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
pollution from industry, industrial pollution, but by Thursday, the | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
weather pattern will change so we think the pollution levels will tend | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
to go down a little bit. Certainly by Thursday. On top of that, we also | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
have the dust which has been driven in from the | :08:35. | :08:35. |
