In Look North tonight, against the clock ` calls for an end to council | :00:07. | :00:15. | |
is limiting home care visits to 15 minutes. | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
After the floods, the anger. Traders vented their anger after the North | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Sea surge. We joined the Royal Mail staff | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
coping with an avalanche of seasonal business on their busiest day of the | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
year. The most successful team in British | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
basket will history show their support for Newcastle's children's | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
heart unit. It really puts life into perspective. | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
The white stuff might be conspicuous by its absence so far but Britain's | :00:48. | :00:54. | |
highest pub is taking no chances. We will be at the stadium of light | :00:55. | :01:03. | |
in advance of Sunderland's match with Chelsea. | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
And Ben Stokes makes cricketing history down under. | :01:09. | :01:16. | |
They're some of the most vulnerable people in society and could not | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
survive without professional care ` but many disabled people are visited | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
at home for less than a quarter of an hour. Those 15 minutes may | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
include vital tasks like meals, washing and medication. Tonight, we | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
can reveal that nearly 90% of local authorities in the North East | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
provide 15`minute home care packages, far higher than the | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
national average, and campaigners are calling for an end to what they | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
say is a scandal. Damian O'Neil has tonight's Look North report. | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
Rochelle Monte works for a private care agency contracted to Newcastle | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
City Council. Like many care workers, she's on a zero`hours | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
contract, but compared to some others, she's relatively well off. | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
She says most agencies don't pay travel expenses and don't allow | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
travel time between appointments, and it's the clients who are | :02:05. | :02:13. | |
suffering. It is absolutely impossible to | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
provide dignified, safe care in 15 minutes. By nonpayment of travel | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
time, most carers effectively have to steal time off people so a 15 | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
minute call is more than likely going to be cut bound to five or ten | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
minutes. But providing care is about much | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
more than practicalities. Sometimes you are the first contact | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
that person will have all day, maybe the only contact. All they want is, | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
good morning, what are you doing? It makes a hell of a difference to come | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
to somebody's house with that attitude first. | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
So what level of care can you provide in 15 minutes? We tried to | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
find out. I have just arrived at my next 15 minute slot and I had to | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
park around the corner so we are running five minutes late. This | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
client is not very mobile and it takes a while for her to answer the | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
door. So we are in the house and I have introduced myself to the | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
client, who I have never met before, and I need to go through her care | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
plan. Before I do that I need to call and log in with my employer. I | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
then have to prompt her to take her medication. | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
I have done my call, made sure the client took her medication and I | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
have logged it. I now have to call and tell my employers I am leaving. | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
I would like to stay and have a cup of tea and a chat but I need to get | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
to my next appointment. Eight out of nine local authorities in our region | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
deliver 15 minute care packaging, around `` compared to a national | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
figure around 60%. Only Newcastle City Council does not. Its minimum | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
time is 22 minutes. Middlesbrough Council has the highest number. Over | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
20% of its home care visits are 15 minutes but they say that their | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
visit are never used for personal care, only medication. This week the | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
care bill was debated in parliament and campaigners say a minimum of 30 | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
minutes needs to be set into legislation. I don't think telling | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
local authorities they need to think about well`being is going to stop | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
them commissioning 15 minute visits so we think the care bill needs to | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
go much further. Who came up with the idea of 15 | :04:52. | :05:01. | |
minute packages? Local authorities would argue it is a direct result of | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
the cuts from central government. There has been a reduction in social | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
care budgets of about ?2.5 billion. Does the government think it is a | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
good idea? I think it would be hard to find anyone to defend the | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
practice but the Care Minister, Norman Lamb, said it is stripping | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
away the human care and 15 minutes is not enough time, some people do | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
not even have a chance to have a chat with their home care worker. | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
Any chance of a carer `` change of heart? There are two local | :05:39. | :05:49. | |
authorities in London who have committed to a minimum time of 30 | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
minutes but campaigners want the government to go further and make | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
that 30 minutes a statutory minimum for all. Thank you very much. | :05:59. | :06:08. | |
A body's been found on a west Cumbrian beach. A member of the | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
public called the police around half past 12 today after making the | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
discovery between Maryport Golf Club and Allonby. No formal | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
identification has taken place and the coroner has been informed. | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
Police in the area have been looking for missing 17`year`old Callum | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
Chapman, who was last seen on Sunday morning. He was staying with | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
relatives in Maryport. A body which was recovered from the | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
River Wear earlier this month has been formally identified as that of | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
missing student Sope Peters. Sope was an American in his second year | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
at Durham University. He was last seen on a night out in the city, at | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
the end of October. An inquest will open on Thursday. | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
Sorry about that. Just under a fortnight ago, they | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
were inundated by the worst North Sea flood surge for 60 years. And | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
businesses in Whitby say they were given insufficient warning. As the | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
clean`up continues, some of them have been making their feelings | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
clear to the National Flood Forum, a charity that advises on how future | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
flooding can be better dealt with. Our business correspondent Ian Reeve | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
reports. This is the snug which we had | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
refitted in April. It is all going to have to be replaced. This pub saw | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
the worst of Whitby's flooding 12 days ago and its manager, the aptly | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
named Stormy Coulson, thinks the warnings could have been better | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
organised. We had already retreated upstairs when we got a call to say | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
we were on flood alert. I called the council asking for sandbags and they | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
said there were people out with them and to grab one but we missed them. | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
Jeff Carlton and his motorbike garage so little carefully targeted | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
help. The insurance company classed it as urgent and that was maybe ten | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
days ago. The only warning I got was about half past three the council | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
came with some sandbags. I said, is it going to be a high tide? He | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
said, I have just been told to give you some sandbags, and within ten | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
minutes it started coming across the road. Today flood hit homeowners and | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
businesses were being given a chance to tell a national charity about the | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
problems. The National Flood Forum recounts people's experiences to | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
councils and the environment agency with the intention of improving | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
resilience but the question is, will they act on it? They do act on it. | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
It is crucial that people are learning from this experience and | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
whether it is the council, the environment agency just the | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
community, they need to understand what went wrong, what can be | :08:48. | :08:57. | |
improved. Today was Whitby's turn, tomorrow the National Flood Forum | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
will be in Scarborough to hear more tales of the world. `` tales of | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
woe. A fishing boat hit the South Pier at | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
the mouth of the Tyne early this morning and began taking water. The | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
Grenaa Star was escorted to Little Haven Beach at South Shields by | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
other local boats and the Port of Tyne pilot launch. The boat suffered | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
slight damage and her skipper was taken to the RVI in Newcastle for | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
treatment. John Darwin, the convicted fraudster | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
who faked his own death in a canoeing accident, is back behind | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
bars after breaking the terms of his prison licence. Darwin, who went | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
missing from his home in Seaton Carew in 2002, was jailed for six | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
years and three months for fraud but was released early on certain | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
conditions, including not leaving the UK. He was arrested last night | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
at Newcastle Airport. Attacks on ambulance crews in the | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
North East have fallen. Figures just released for 2013 show there were 48 | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
physical attacks on crews while they were treating patients. That's nine | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
fewer than 2012, and down 39 on the total for 2011. | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
Does it steal up on you every year, too? This time next week it'll be | :10:02. | :10:10. | |
Christmas Eve! Millions of men will be out shopping, won't they? But for | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
the Royal Mail today is the busiest 24 hours of the entire year. The | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
sorting depot at Gateshead's Team Valley employs hundred of extra | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
staff to help it deal with the huge seasonal workload. Gerry Jackson | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
sent this report. They're like worker bees at | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
honeycombs and their hive is the size of an aircraft hangar. More | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
than 13 million items of post will be handled under this roof today. | :10:33. | :10:43. | |
We bring 500 extra people in at Christmas to supplement the 900 | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
staff we have through the year. With a significant volume of extra | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
collections, we work seven days and 24 hours for the weeks leading up to | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
Christmas. Just as well then that each of these | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
machines can read 30,000 addresses every hour. But when it comes to | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
checking, deciphering indecipherable handwriting and sorting into | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
delivery batches, it seems there's still no substitute for the human | :11:14. | :11:14. | |
eye. It is just the same, one person, one | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
letter in the pigeonhole. That will never change, I think. It is a | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
pretty good method, tried and trusted. | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
In the changing postal market, it's been swings and roundabouts for | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
Royal Mail. Email has certainly cut the volumes of traditional letters | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
but internet shopping has boosted the parcels market. Luckily most of | :11:34. | :11:45. | |
us are still fond of the 170`year`old tradition that keeps | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
these postmen busy. Last year each of us posted an average 17 Christmas | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
cards, two up on the year before. And on this single day 370,000 | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
parcels will pass through this one centre. So spare a thought for | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
Heather and all of her colleagues on a 12 hour shift tonight. It is good | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
fun to get it out and there is good camaraderie. It keeps you on your | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
toes, keeps you going. I will be ready for a cup of tea when I get | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
home! Plenty more to come tonight. Next, | :12:20. | :12:27. | |
how North Yorkshire's Gurkhas `` former Gurkhas are learning about a | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
Christmas tradition. Tomorrow's temperatures could reach | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
double figures but we will have some wet and eventually very windy | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
weather. All of the details later. They've gained a reputation as brave | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
and fearless soldiers. Today, though, former Gurkhas who've made | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
their homes in Catterick in North Yorkshire have been showing their | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
softer side. The men and their families are part of a growing | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
Nepalese community in the county, and this year many are looking | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
forward to their first traditional Christmas. Phil Connell has been to | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
see the preparations. A big one for the top and then | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
little ones to go around. New beginnings in North Yorkshire and | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
for many a new experience of Christmas. The army town of | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
Catterick is now home to one of Britain's biggest Nepalese | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
communities, many of them format Gurkha soldiers who have had their | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
first real taste of the traditional British Christmas. Christmas is not | :13:31. | :13:38. | |
celebrated in Nepal in any big way but it is important in two ways, | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
because they are becoming part of the community and most people have | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
children and grandchildren so at school they are learning about all | :13:47. | :13:55. | |
of this. Myself and my family, we like Christmas and New Year and we | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
are very happy. It was 2009 when Gurkhas got the right to live in | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
Britain following a campaign by the actress Joanna Lumley. Thousands, | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
like Sandip Ray, have decided to stay, attracted by Catterick and its | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
connections to the Army. People feel like this is their home, where they | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
belong. It might be difficult for some of us to adapt to the culture. | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
For a lot of people this is now their home. They visit Nepal on | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
holiday and if England is their home they want to know about Christmas. | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
The Gurkhas have served the British Army to 200 years with a loyal and | :14:37. | :14:45. | |
fearless reputation. Today, though, or gentle side was seen, learning | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
their first Christmas song and opening their first Christmas | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
stocking. Just a tiny bit bemused! | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
Players from our region's top basketball side took time out to | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
visit the children's heart unit at Newcastle's Freeman Hospital today. | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
The Newcastle Eagles squad was there to confirm a new partnership with | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
the centre. It's another boost for the unit, which has faced | :15:08. | :15:09. | |
uncertainty after the cancellation of a national review into children's | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
heart surgery. Andrew Hartley reports. | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
Little meets large. These giants of the game made short order of | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
bringing some festive cheer to patients, parents and staff. | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
It humbles you, it shows how fortunate and lest we really are. It | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
puts everything into perspective. `` fortunate and blessing. I don't have | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
up problem in the world after seeing the joy, what a little mini | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
basketball can do, what 12 tall guys can do. | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
This is Oscar. He's four months old and he's already undergone ten | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
operations ` with more to follow. On Sunday we had our first night | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
back home with Oscar, which was emotional, to say the least. He has | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
come in for a couple more days and hopefully we will get him home for | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
Christmas by the end of the week. It will be short lived, we will be home | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
for a couple of weeks, and then he will be in for more investigation | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
and surgery. It's the start of a partnership | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
between the Newcastle Eagles and the Children's Heart Unit Fund. | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
It's very much more than just a visit on to the ward, it's about | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
creating a long`term relationship between the fund and the Eagles. | :16:35. | :16:45. | |
What we stand for is something they do as well. | :16:46. | :16:59. | |
Big men with big hearts. A timely shot in the arm for a unit | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
facing months more of uncertainty over its future. | :17:04. | :17:04. | |
I don't know if you conceive the I don't know if you conceive the | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
circles under Jeff's eyes. What time were you up to watching the | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
cricket? About half past five. It was worth | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
it for one reason and one reason alone. | :17:22. | :17:23. | |
Durham all`rounder Ben Stokes has been the one bright spark in a | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
dismal display that finally saw England lose the Ashes in Perth this | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
morning. The 22`year`old Cumbrian hit 120 in only his second Test | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
match to at least give England and the Barmy Army some brief hope of | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
avoiding defeat. Stokes is the only England batsman to have scored a | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
century this series and just the third to have hit a hundred at the | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
WACA ground since 1987 in an innings that included 18 fours and a six. He | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
was finally out, caught behind by Brad Haddin. But we may look back on | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
today's final day of the Third Test as the start of something special. | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
Now, Sunderland might be bottom of the Premier League but tonight they | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
have the chance to make it through to the semi`finals of the League | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
Cup. To do that, though, they'll have to beat Chelsea. And while cup | :18:04. | :18:11. | |
statistics might be on their side, from recent experience they know how | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
tough that can be ` as Dawn Thewlis reports. | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
Not one ` not two ` not even three goals were enough to beat Chelsea | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
when the two sides met a couple of weeks ago at the Stadium of Light. | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
The Blues might not be firing on all cylinders but they're still just two | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
points off the top of the league and the Sunderland boss says his side | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
have a lot to learn from that game. Plenty. We need to make sure we do | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
write the things that we didn't. Trying to score three goals again | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
would the fantastic. It is a shame when you score three and don't win | :18:44. | :18:55. | |
the game. I want to have a new Chelsea, eight Rand new Chelsea. | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
Believe it or not Sunderland have never lost to Chelsea in cup | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
competition. But history may not be on their side. In 1985 the Black | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
Cats recorded a 5`2 aggregate win over two legs in the League Cup | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
semifinals to reach Wembley. But they were subsequently relegated. | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
And for Gus Poyet the competition provides no respite as he battles to | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
save Sunderland from the drop. We would like to become as a team | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
winners, whether it is a league game or a cup game. I hope it is the same | :19:27. | :19:35. | |
for the players, even as a bit of revenge we are going to try to beat | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
Chelsea. So just play, be winners, and if we are winners I am sure we | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
will get out of the relegation zone because we will play winning | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
football. It must feel a bit like round | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
Hobday. `` groundhog day. | :20:01. | :20:10. | |
I am sure most fans arriving at the Stadium of Light will settle for | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
another seven goal thriller as long as their team come out on top. Which | :20:14. | :20:23. | |
manager once this most? `` wants. Jose`Maria neuro leads a trophy | :20:24. | :20:38. | |
desperately. `` Jose Mourinho. I believe in the glory of the cup. It | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
is one thing staying in the league but football is about glory and | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
glamour and a bit of `` a trip to Wembley. It is not unheard of for | :20:48. | :20:57. | |
teams to win League Cup finals and get relegated but league survival | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
has to be the priority. It is, it costs about ?104 million to run the | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
club and if they lose ?50 million by getting relegated it will be a | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
financial disaster, with a huge impact on jobs. Would Sunderland | :21:14. | :21:22. | |
fans take relegation and a trophy? I think many actually word. Do you | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
think Gus Poyet is the long`term answer? I hope they keep faith in | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
him in the next season even if they do go down. He almost brought | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
brighten up last year. We have seen visual evidence of a comeback at | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
Sunderland, an improvement in play. That has not really been reflected | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
in results yet. I have heard people say, if we play like that we will be | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
all right. But it has to start happening now with the results. | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
Thank you very much. It is looming cold here, back to you. `` blooming. | :22:02. | :22:20. | |
Meanwhile there's FA Cup action this evening. BBC Tees will have | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
commentary of Hartlepool's second round replay against Coventry City | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
at Northampton's Sixfields Stadium. The winners will travel to Barnsley | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
in round three. Now if you read certain national | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
newspaper headlines, you'll have been bracing yourself for killer | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
blizzards, 100 days of snow, and the worst winter ever. Well, I suppose | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
there's time yet. But despite the absence of snow, so | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
far, one of our best known pubs is taking no chances. Yes, the Tan Hill | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
Inn, above Swaledale in North Yorkshire is the highest pub in | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
Britain ` at an altitude of more than 1700 feet. And the landlady is | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
taking drastic action to ensure that regulars can get to ` and from ` the | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
famous watering hole. Phil Chapman reports this week there is more wins | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
than winter wonderland that if the snow does come then the landlady of | :23:04. | :23:11. | |
the Tan Hill Inn is ready. We decided to be able to keep the | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
road open ourselves. People are really interested in this, really | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
excited. We are quite happy to get snowed in as long as they can get | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
here. The pub certainly gets its share of the spotlight, most | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
famously being used by a certain double glazing firm in the 80s. | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
Ironically it is the isolated a peel of the Tan Hill Inn that led one | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
annual Scottish regular to help with a plough, potentially enabling even | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
more people to get here. On a personal basis I like the remark | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
must of the pub. There are plenty of rallies over the year and it is a | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
great place, somewhere I could recommend anybody to come. The pub | :24:00. | :24:08. | |
has applied for permission to use the plough officially and North | :24:09. | :24:10. | |
Yorkshire County Council told us they are assessing the case. We have | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
asked the council on numerous occasions whether we could be part | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
of their contracted snow clearing team. Still waiting. Whatever the | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
council decides they will be some people who don't mind being snowed | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
in in a pub like this. Those who want easy access to the Tan Hill | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
Inn, Tracy wants the council to say yes to the plough. | :24:37. | :24:53. | |
Any chance of a white Christmas? I think seems like that at the Tan | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
Hill Inn are unlikely between now and Christmas. | :25:00. | :25:10. | |
Tomorrow the temperatures will be up a good bit on today, double figures | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
in a few places, but some wet weather around and eventually some | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
very windy weather as well. In the meantime, it is a different story. | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
This evening most places are dry and with clear skies there could be a | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
touch of frost for a time this evening. Later tonight the cloud | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
thickens up, patchy rain comes in from the West and the breeze starts | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
to pick up. Lows of 12 Celsius for a time but milder by the end of the | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
night. Tomorrow, cloudy from the word go and most heavy and | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
persistent in the West. The winds will pick up as well, eventually | :25:52. | :25:58. | |
reaching gusts of 30, 40 mph by the end of the afternoon. Temperatures | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
mild, in 11 Celsius, but more heavy rain waiting in the West, heading | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
our way tomorrow evening with even stronger winds. It is courtesy of | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
this weather front Thomas Strong gusting westerly winds overnight. | :26:13. | :26:20. | |
Sunny spells, Saturday `` scattered showers on Thursday and then the | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
next band of wet and windy weather heads our way through the latter | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
part of Friday. Wet and windy tomorrow in the West, a bit of | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
brightness in between those blustery showers but still fairly windy | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
through the rest of the week and more rain coming in from the West on | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
Friday. Some rain at times tomorrow, the winds will pick up and we keep | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
the strong winds through the rest of the week. It will probably be Friday | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
night for the heavy rain returns. You can keep bang up to date on the | :26:54. | :27:05. | |
