Hello and welcome to Look East. so it's goodbye from me. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
In the programme tonight: Free-range egg farmers hit out | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
at government plans to combat the bird flu outbreak. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
They say classifying some areas as "safe" will put their flocks | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
They are just a bunch of idiots. It makes no sense whatsoever. | :00:12. | :00:27. | |
Reaction in the constituency after the Labour MP Clive Lewis | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
Exclusive access to the hospital teams who have to deal | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
And I am inside shed one looking at the future of the airship industry. | :00:34. | :00:53. | |
First tonight, a warning that free-range egg producers will go out | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
of business because of bird flu, despite the lifting of restrictions | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
which have kept their hens indoors since December. | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
Today, the government said hens in the white areas on this map can | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
be moved back outside when the current ban runs out | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
They would then become free-range again. | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
In the red areas, they will still be kept under cover to protect them | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
from wild birds carrying the flu virus. | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
But today, farmers told Look East that no area is completely safe. | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
They claim there is no science behind the advice they are given | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
Here is the high risk zone. Daniel is a free range egg producer in | :01:33. | :01:51. | |
Suffolk. He is one of the lucky ones because his farm is outside the high | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
risk areas designated by DEFRA. On March one, his birds will be allowed | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
out again. But Daniel is still worried that those inside the high | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
risk areas will suffer. How have DEFRA come up with these zones? | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
Throwing paint at a map by the looks of it. It is a very random | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
assortment of blue blobs on a map, mainly coastal areas but there are | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
large gaps around the coast that are not covered. They say it is a | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
risk-based response but they have not said what the risk is. Dave | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
White is another free range producer. His farm is just a the | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
fields away but is within a high risk area. His birds will have to | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
stay in their sheds and he is furious. Just a bunch of idiots. | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
They have taken a compass, put it on a map and done circles. It makes no | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
sense whatsoever. There is no bird flu at the present moment in East | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
Anglia, so why are we being punished. In those areas where they | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
still have to house they will not be able to label their eggs as free | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
range. I am hopeful people will recognise these are free range | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
flocks, they are being housed for a good reason. On Monday we met | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
Alistair Brice. He is a free range producer and Packer supplying three | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
quarters of a million free range eggs to supermarkets across East | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
Anglia. He says the DEFRA plans will put some producers out of business | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
and may even extend the life of the bird flu virus. | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
We saw Alaistaire Brice in that report and he's | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
You have some farms inside the red zone and some which are not. Yes, we | :03:43. | :03:57. | |
have three inside the zones and 13 outside. The government will be | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
dammed if it did and damp if it doesn't say what is wrong with what | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
they are doing? It is splitting the whole industry in half and it is | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
making those almost a postcode lottery where if they fall inside | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
the zones you will lose money and if you fall outside, you might make a | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
living. There is no thought gone into this. What would you like them | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
to do? I would like to continue the housing band and maintain the free | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
range eggs if we could. If we cannot do that, downgrade the whole | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
industry to Ban and we have a level playing field and we can move | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
forward with a disease control management plan to try to eradicate | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
this. You do think there is a threat to all of the birds? Unless those | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
birds can read that map I think there is a severe risk to us all and | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
I have two farms which are not in the zones but that does not mean I | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
will be happy to let them out. I will think about the risk that | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
associates my business and neighbours. What sort of difference | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
does it make to the price you can charge for ex-? The difference is | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
about 30p a dozen. It might not sound a lot but 30p over a palette | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
of eggs is ?210. Many of these farms are small family farms and you will | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
decimate their ability to make a livelihood. You think someone go out | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
of business? No doubt about it because we have been given the | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
zones, there is no timescale on them and if we have open areas where | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
birds are free to roam and the birds that are migrating back from the | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
West to the east back to their breeding grounds, they will stop off | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
in places and I do think Mr Gibbins appreciates that they do not follow | :05:58. | :05:58. | |
maps. The Labour MP Clive Lewis has | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
kept a low profile today following his decision to stand down | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
from the shadow cabinet. He resigned as shadow business | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
secretary last night after deciding to vote in parliament | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
against Article 50. Friends of the MP have | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
praised him for speaking up but among voters the verdict | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
has been more mixed. Across the whole of Norfolk, Suffolk | :06:16. | :06:28. | |
and Essex just one place voted to remain in the European Union and it | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
was he in Norwich South. That is why Clive Lewis decided to go against | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
his party leader last night to vote against the Brexit bill and give up | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
his job in the Shadow Cabinet. He went with his conscience and that is | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
fair enough. It was the right thing to do because people in Norwich did | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
not vote Brexit. He is sticking up for the people. Plenty of support | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
for the MP today, but not from everyone. I sympathise to a degree | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
but the majority of the country wanted to leave, so perhaps he | :07:03. | :07:10. | |
should have done that. Sometimes you have to lump it, you cannot always | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
have it your way. Mr Lewis has said nothing publicly today. His decision | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
to stand down was revealed as MPs started to vote for Article 50 last | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
night. He said he had made what he called the tough decision because, I | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
cannot vote for something I believe ultimately harm the city. | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
As a Labour MP, I will never apologise for my socialism. And MP | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
for less than two years, Clive Lewis has found himself at the heart of | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
Labour politics. He was one of those who persuaded Jeremy Corbyn to run | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
for leader. He was briefly Shadow Defence Secretary which got him into | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
a row over Trident before getting the business brief. He has had a | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
roller-coaster time since he was elected and in lots of ways, the | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
period of time which was to be about getting your feet under the table, | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
doing the work as a constituency MP, starting to build up experience, he | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
was catapulted into two big positions. He has negotiated and | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
done well in those rows. I do not think it will be too long before he | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
is back on the front bench. But it is the backbench which now beckons | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
and a promising career has now stalled. How long will he be on the | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
backbenches for? This is Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party and what is | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
interesting is how nice everyone is being about him today. John McDonald | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
says he has a major contribution to make and hopes he will be back in | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
due course. The talk at Westminster last night was that all those who | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
reside will be back by the end of the year. It is interesting that | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
Clive Lewis is not giving interviews. He is hoping the story | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
will go away and if he does not give interviews, people will forget about | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
Labour's divisions. Will he go for the leadership? It is inevitable | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
that you will be seen as a future leader. The odds have been cut, he | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
is now 5-1 favourite. It will not happen in the foreseeable future. | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
Both are France, I cannot see Mr Lewis running against him. If Jeremy | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
Corbyn stands down, that might be different but it will not happen | :09:43. | :09:43. | |
soon. Council tax in Suffolk | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
is going up by 3% and the budget for services will be | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
cut by more than ?30 million. The budget for the coming year | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
was signed off at a full council Let's go live to the political | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
reporter for BBC Radio Suffolk, It is a chilly evening here at | :09:54. | :10:05. | |
Suffolk County Council, but earlier this afternoon, the debate got | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
heated. It centred around the ?30 million worth of budget cuts they | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
have to find. One area where the grants to charities. Age UK suffix | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
say their grant is a third less than it was three years ago. Earlier | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
today I met up with Gillian Ellis from Lowestoft who told me about the | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
impact these cuts were having. Shopping has to be ordered over | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
the phone and delivered. The 79-year-old former secretary has | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
carers coming in four times a day. Every Friday, Mary an Age UK Suffolk | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
befriender came to see Gillian to cheer her up, | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
but now there is no more money to support the service, | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
so the visits have stopped. She popped in, brought the post, | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
opened it up, that's rubbish, that's rubbish, that's rubbish, | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
handed me what I wanted. It was nothing really, | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
but important at the time. Age UK Suffolk had been running | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
the befriending service, but they have had their budgets | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
reduced from over ?800,000 in 2014 Just before Christmas we had to shut | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
a couple of day services that we ran in Bury St Edmunds | :11:23. | :11:31. | |
and we are at the moment in the process of reducing | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
and combining the benefits service and the advice service | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
so that it continues, but it will be smaller, | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
have less capacity For Gillian, the loss of funds | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
is a loss of friendship, which had helped her | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
through a very difficult time. I just hope, if she is watching | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
this, thank you, Mary, because from the bottom of my heart, | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
she helped a lot. The labour opposition here at | :12:01. | :12:17. | |
Suffolk County Council wanted to see the Conservatives dig deeper into | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
the reserves, but they said that this would be financially dangerous. | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
The big test will come in May, this is a county council election year | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
and the measure will be did people like the budget, or did they not, or | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
is it time for a change? Part of the A12 in Essex | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
is still closed after a lorry The driver died in the | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
accident near Witham. The lorry was carrying 26 | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
tonnes of batteries. The southbound carriageway is closed | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
between junctions 25 and 20B. Specialist equipment is being used | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
and fire crews are having to hose the wreckage to keep | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
the batteries cool. Still to come tonight: More | :12:57. | :13:07. | |
wintry weather on the way. And fighting the fines | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
for taking children out We meet the couple who refused | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
to pay and ended up in court. As new figures reveal that | :13:16. | :13:25. | |
so-called bed blocking is the highest on record, | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
we've been given exclusive access to one of the region's | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
hospitals to see how The head of the NHS said today that | :13:33. | :13:34. | |
delays in getting people out of hospital and into social care | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
or back home have gone up by 90% Simon Dedman has been | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
to Basildon Hospital to see how a team there is dealing | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
with the problem. We have had a very | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
challenging night. We are still on black | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
alert currently. It is the first meeting | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
at Basildon Hospital to work out I've got three potential | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
discharges for today. We are in a position where we have | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
no more beds in the hospital, so we have 28 patients placed | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
in A, so at the moment, if we have any more ambulances arrive, | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
we only have one trolley If you have more than one patient, | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
what are you going to do? Then we will have | :14:20. | :14:29. | |
ambulances queueing. We admitted more people than we were | :14:30. | :14:30. | |
able to discharge yesterday. Basildon's managing director takes | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
me through the latest situation. What we're hoping to do is move | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
patients into our elective orthopaedic ward, which means | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
we are not able to do joint surgery, Just coming round to see if there | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
are any patients for hospital home? After the morning meeting, | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
nurse Natalie Cook goes ward to ward to find patients who could be | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
discharged from hospital and get their treatment | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
from Basildon hospital nurses The consultant saw you yesterday and | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
is happy for us to take you home. She has found one who will hopefully | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
be discharged today. She heads now to find four other | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
patients who can get But the real problem | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
is being dealt with here. Sick elderly people | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
who get stuck in hospital. This ward aims to treat | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
the frail quickly and get That is what this team works | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
on every day at nine. Some patients have been | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
here for ten days though. But after two days on this | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
ward, Eileen is looking I am on some tablets, I don't know | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
exactly what they are for, other than having those | :15:41. | :15:53. | |
in the mornings and apart from that, it's just being here | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
and getting looked after. Some patients here are waiting | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
for social care to kick in. The majority of the patients | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
who come over here we treat The longer they stay, | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
more complex problems arise, so having access to community | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
services and talking to leads in community, | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
we are able to get them out quicker. Every bed in Basildon Hospital | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
is taken and it has pretty much been that way since the beginning | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
of the year. So much so that if you needed | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
something like a hip replacement, they would pay to send you private, | :16:37. | :16:38. | |
none have taken place Basildon Hospital is trying | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
but getting slack in the health This time of year, lots of families | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
will be spending hours trying to find a decent summer holiday | :16:48. | :16:59. | |
at a decent price. So do you take the children out | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
of school during term time when everything is much cheaper, | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
or do you wait for the school The government says children need | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
to be in school and unauthorised absences attract a fine | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
of ?60 per child. But when Matt and Kerry Thomas | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
from Norwich were fined ?120 following a trip to Majorca, | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
they decided to fight Wearing her uniform today but last | :17:23. | :17:37. | |
summer, faith and her brother took a week out of school with their | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
parents. They headed for the Spanish sun. It cost ?1800. In the summer | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
holidays it would have cost 3000. I learned how to exchange the money | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
and the exchange rate and I learned how big the world was. Their schools | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
took a DM view. The local council took action. Matt and Ceri Thomas | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
refused to pay the ?120 fine so it was doubled. They still refuse to | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
pay and so today both sides faced each other in court. I know what is | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
best for my children not someone sitting in a courthouse or behind a | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
desk. I know what is best and the best thing for them was to have the | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
experience of a foreign holiday. Matt is pinning his hopes on the | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
case of another father who won his case at the High Court. He took his | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
daughter to Florida and faced a fine. His local authority appealed | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
and now Supreme Court judges will decide if he has to pay. I don't | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
think there is an issue, as long as they catch up with their work and | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
make sure that is not affected. Maybe when they were younger, maybe | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
not so much when they are older because of exams. I don't agree with | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
it. They are therefore education. The county council told us it is | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
Headteachers themselves who decide whether or not to take action... | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
Aside from the lower cost of holidays during term time, there are | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
those like this family who thought their rights as parents are being | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
undermined, but the government is clear, even a few days away from | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
school can affect exam results and have a detrimental effect on a | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
child's's education. That is the only holiday we have ever been on as | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
a holiday. But we took it on term time which is against the law. The | :19:42. | :19:49. | |
family will be back here for a full trial next month. | :19:50. | :19:51. | |
I'm sure most of us remember the case of the wheelchair user | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
who took his local bus company to the supreme court, | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
after a dispute with a woman with a child in a buggy over | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
He won the case, but now something similar has happened in Essex. | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
Nicki Price has cerebral palsy and was waiting | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
She says there were two pushchairs taking up the space for a wheelchair | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
and the mothers refused to move them. | :20:16. | :20:17. | |
Nicky Price on her way to the bus stop. She says using a bus must be a | :20:18. | :20:33. | |
basic right. Unfortunately they are not very reliable. They are always | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
missing buses out which makes the enough is bus overcrowded. And when | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
Nicky try to get on a first bus recently, there were two pushchairs | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
in the space for the wheelchair. The drivers ask the mother to fall they | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
pushed us up, they both said no and Nicky could not get on. I was | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
devastated. I was upset, angry. I was worried about my child which was | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
my main thought at the time, which was I must get to my child, to pick | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
her up. But I felt like a second class citizen. And it came despite | :21:12. | :21:18. | |
Doug Pauley's recent victory in the Supreme Court. He could not get onto | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
a bus when a mother with a pushchair refused to move. The judges ruled | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
they should do more to accommodate wheelchair users. Nicky Price says | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
the ruling has not made any difference. She dreads being left | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
stranded at a bus stop. I am vulnerable, left out in the cold, | :21:41. | :21:48. | |
alone. Where does it... What if something happens? I feel scared to | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
use the buses. In a statement, first said: | :21:53. | :22:03. | |
Nicky Price see the fore says she has received overwhelming support | :22:04. | :22:13. | |
over what she feels is a continuing injustice against wheelchair users. | :22:14. | :22:15. | |
You may well know that hidden away in a giant hangar in Bedfordshire | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
is the longest aircraft in the world. | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
It's called the Airlander and it's a cross between an airship | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
and a conventional plane. Last summer, everybody got | :22:25. | :22:26. | |
very excited when it made its maiden flight. | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
Then, a few days later, there was a crash landing. | :22:30. | :22:31. | |
Now after months of repair work, it could be back in the air very soon. | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
Airlander in the skies above Cardington. One of many maiden | :22:37. | :22:53. | |
flights. Its second test flight ended in this, and undignified | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
nosedive on landing. The state of the cockpit shown it could have been | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
worse. I have been given special access inside shed one. To find out | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
how the air lender is recovering. The cockpit now being rebuilt, those | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
at the controls that they are unharmed. There was a loud noise | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
when we hit the ground. Pretty soon we realise that most of the damage | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
was superficial. We were fine and a chilly got top and walked off the | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
flight deck. Are you looking forward to going back up? We are all | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
excited. There was frustration we had to stop flying to repair the | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
aircraft, but we know we have made loads of changes to our training and | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
we will come back much stronger. This shed is 100 years old, built | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
for the original airships with its own climate, far colder than | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
outside. A century ago, nearby shorts town was built to house the | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
workers and now the apprentices once again being recruited from the same | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
area. It is amazing to follow in their footsteps and a revolutionary | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
aircraft like this is amazing. It's a great feeling, a great atmosphere, | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
everyone grew up around here so knows the history. If it hadn't been | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
for a heavy landing, the Airlander would have had extra flying time but | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
backers remain optimistic. Details confidential but they include a high | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
profile investor from the middle east and it is hoped Airlander will | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
return to the skies very soon. Come March time, we should leave the hang | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
out again for our 2017 flight test programme. Then we will work with | :24:39. | :24:47. | |
customers, working up to some longer trips into Asia, North America. This | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
is the latest chapter in airship history as the industry celebrates | :24:53. | :24:53. | |
its 100th year here. Handsome. Very impressive. Now the | :24:54. | :25:07. | |
weather. Colder firmly establish across the British Isles. Bitterly | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
cold for at least 48 hours and there have been some snow flurries. These | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
photographs define some. Evidence of snow on the windscreen. You can see | :25:21. | :25:29. | |
a little bit of snow there on what looks like a table. Most of us saw | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
leaden skies today and with the temperature and the bitterly cold | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
wind, it has not felt pleasant. There will be the risk of further | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
snow showers over the next 24 hours. High-pressure, huge area of high | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
pressure across Scandinavia and that is blocking these Atlantic weather | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
systems coming in. Colder air across us over the last 24 hours. These | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
showers will continue this evening. Mainly for coastal parts, but as | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
that north-easterly wind freshens, they could move further inland, so | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
the chance you may wake up to a dusting of snow tomorrow morning, | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
particularly if you live in eastern counties. A few degrees below | :26:19. | :26:25. | |
freezing. Tomorrow's weather, not a lot changing but we have this | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
feature coming in from the north sea and there will be more depth to the | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
cloud tomorrow, so any showers will be heavier. The risk of those | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
showers through the day, a lot of dry weather but no evidence of | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
sunshine. Temperatures once more similar to today, two or three | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
degrees. Factor in that north-easterly wind, it will be | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
bitterly cold. Snow showers could move further west so as we go into | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
Friday evening, a greater risk of getting a dusting of snow and | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
further across western counties as well. Certainly looking very wintry | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
over the next few days. There are changes into next week. Low pressure | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
moving up from the south and that will change things. Slightly less | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
cold air for the weekend, but we still have the north-easterly wind | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
so it will feel the same temperature wise. But by mid week, more of a | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
springlike feel as temperatures cover perhaps into the mid teens. | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
Fantastic! That is all from us. Goodbye. | :27:39. | :27:52. | |
