The council makes its decision on where to build a new

:00:11.:00:17.

park and ride scheme - amid mass protests.

:00:18.:00:27.

This is not the end of the story and there are enough a lot of hurdles

:00:28.:00:33.

for the council to get over 40 new foreword.

:00:34.:00:35.

The pensioner left with terrible injuries after a robbery in a park.

:00:36.:00:40.

And tomorrow brings a noticeably colder day with a marked wind-chill,

:00:41.:00:46.

details towards the end of the programme.

:00:47.:00:49.

Hundreds of people have been protesting in Bath tonight,

:00:50.:00:52.

at a meeting to decide where to put a new Park and ride scheme.

:00:53.:00:55.

The council was deciding which of two sites to put the car park on.

:00:56.:00:59.

There has been a long campaign against both plans

:01:00.:01:01.

Well, now they have have decided which one to go for -

:01:02.:01:05.

and it is the one which was know as site "B".

:01:06.:01:08.

But people have said tonight they are still angry.

:01:09.:01:16.

Pretty upset but I suppose it was inevitable. We didn't think we were

:01:17.:01:22.

ever going to shift the opinion of this council, try as we might.

:01:23.:01:24.

So the decision does still need to go through planning.

:01:25.:01:26.

Pete Simson has been at the meeting all night and sent us this

:01:27.:01:29.

Welcome to Where we just finished a marathon council meeting, two hours

:01:30.:01:48.

of which taken up by public statements. We had a decision in the

:01:49.:01:53.

end, that the council would prefer to build on the second sight. East

:01:54.:02:03.

of Bath. Joining me is the leader of the Council, Tim Warren. A lot of

:02:04.:02:07.

accusations flying around, can you put a couple of things to bed? Will

:02:08.:02:13.

this reduce congestion? It will around the city of Bath. If you have

:02:14.:02:18.

800 cars driving around looking to 800 cars driving around looking to

:02:19.:02:23.

park then it must. Where the Trevor Nyakane boats going through your

:02:24.:02:26.

mind because you have vociferous opposition who have done their

:02:27.:02:31.

homework. It is a huge opposition but what we mustn't forget is that

:02:32.:02:38.

are even more in favour of it. You always get, they are called Silent

:02:39.:02:42.

minorities but they are not and they have said where they're coming from.

:02:43.:02:48.

If they are silent how do you know their earlier. The silent majority

:02:49.:02:52.

don't commit in public so much. We got a lot of business and residents

:02:53.:02:56.

meetings and we speak to neighbouring councils and the

:02:57.:03:02.

support we have got, this is the big picture. All these people live there

:03:03.:03:08.

and have jobs and need to get there and back again and in Bath we're

:03:09.:03:13.

talking about another 11,000 jobs are these people need to get in and

:03:14.:03:19.

out and the city is full up. As soon as anything stops me that capacity

:03:20.:03:25.

in the city comes to a you. This is the start of a very long process and

:03:26.:03:30.

we still have to have a business case and planning applications so

:03:31.:03:32.

plenty more time in the future of people to have their say.

:03:33.:03:33.

A 75-year-old woman has suffered injuries including

:03:34.:03:35.

a fractured eye socket, after an attack in

:03:36.:03:37.

It happened in at lunchtime on Monday.

:03:38.:03:40.

Naomi Roberts is now recovering in hospital.

:03:41.:03:41.

It's one of Bristol's most popular parks 75-year-old Naomi Roberts

:03:42.:03:50.

But on Monday she was the victim of an attack that's left her

:03:51.:03:54.

Her face is bruised and swollen with fractures to her cheek bone

:03:55.:03:58.

and eye socket and to her collar bone too.

:03:59.:04:16.

I saw her wheeled in on a trolley with her face looking

:04:17.:04:19.

Her daughter Joanna says she is worried it could now

:04:20.:04:22.

Inevitably, it is going to have a really significant impact,

:04:23.:04:27.

not just on her but on other people as well, other older people

:04:28.:04:30.

who might use that park who will feel unsafe to go out so it

:04:31.:04:34.

She only saw herself for the first time this morning.

:04:35.:04:52.

She was really shocked and upset at how she looked

:04:53.:04:54.

and also worried about, she is going to look like that

:04:55.:04:57.

People will think I'm a monster when I am walking around!

:04:58.:05:08.

She was walking her dog in Eastville Park on Monday

:05:09.:05:10.

afternoon and it appears she was attacked from behind

:05:11.:05:12.

and her handbag pulled off her shoulder and she fell flat

:05:13.:05:15.

She doesn't remember what happened but she has told her daughter

:05:16.:05:27.

she thinks she remembers seeing a bike circling around before

:05:28.:05:29.

the attack and she saw somebody cycling away

:05:30.:05:31.

Police have called the assault on Naomi despicable

:05:32.:05:34.

and asked for the public's help to trace her attacker.

:05:35.:05:37.

They've appealed for anyone who was in Eastville Park on Monday

:05:38.:05:39.

lunchtime to get in touch with any information they might have.

:05:40.:05:49.

A man from Wiltshire whose son died when he was hit by a car is calling

:05:50.:05:53.

on the government to increase sentences for death

:05:54.:05:55.

Major Richard Gilbey's son James was knocked over and left for dead

:05:56.:05:59.

by two men who were jailed for eight years.

:06:00.:06:01.

Here's our Home Affairs Correspondent, Charlotte Callen.

:06:02.:06:08.

This is just another step in Major Richard Gilbey's fight

:06:09.:06:10.

At the door of 10 Downing Street - handing in a 16,000 strong petition

:06:11.:06:15.

asking the Prime Minister for her support.

:06:16.:06:22.

We are just handing that in in the hope it will help support

:06:23.:06:25.

the public consultation and raise awareness and take this forward

:06:26.:06:27.

another step to get justice for James and others and an increase

:06:28.:06:30.

in the maximum sentence and a change in the sentencing guidelines.

:06:31.:06:33.

It is a campaign he wishes he'd never had to be part of.

:06:34.:06:39.

But in July 2015 his 25-year-old son James was mown

:06:40.:06:42.

The two men responsible had been racing through Leeds

:06:43.:06:52.

at speeds of up to 80mph - James didn't stand a chance.

:06:53.:06:58.

Malik and Mahmood were sentenced to eight years in prison -

:06:59.:07:00.

but are likely to be released after just four.

:07:01.:07:05.

Malik, the driver who hit James, had 35 previous convictions

:07:06.:07:07.

They gave James a death sentence and they gave me,

:07:08.:07:16.

my wife and my daughter a life sentence.

:07:17.:07:21.

The maximum sentence a judge can give in these cases is 14 years -

:07:22.:07:25.

but the average time offenders spend in prison is under years.

:07:26.:07:29.

That according to Major Gilbey and others is simply not enough.

:07:30.:07:33.

Under new plans being considered the government could extend

:07:34.:07:35.

the maximum sentence to life imprisonment - that's

:07:36.:07:37.

We know that nothing is enough for taking someone's

:07:38.:07:43.

life and sentences can't really reflect that.

:07:44.:07:50.

It's going to mean that judges who are deciding on these cases,

:07:51.:07:53.

trying to work out what sort of sentences should be imposed,

:07:54.:07:56.

I'm going to have more scope to add greater punishment to those who have

:07:57.:07:59.

been involved in the most serious cases.

:08:00.:08:12.

I'm very confident that the consultation will result in changing

:08:13.:08:19.

the law for the worst sort of death by dangerous driving to be tried on

:08:20.:08:22.

the same tariff of manslaughter which is effectively is. The

:08:23.:08:28.

Ministry of Justice told me today they are determined to make sure

:08:29.:08:32.

those who drive dangerously and kill face the full force of the law. The

:08:33.:08:38.

consultation ends in one week and should report back later this year.

:08:39.:08:40.

Two students from the University of Bristol have decided to make

:08:41.:08:43.

a formal complaint to the police about racial abuse they've

:08:44.:08:45.

Timi Areeo and Tami SoTeer told us yesterday they'd been subjected

:08:46.:08:49.

to bullying and offensive comments from students nationwide.

:08:50.:09:00.

these people are in the minority and these people are in the minority and

:09:01.:09:05.

should be brought to justice for the stuff they have put us through. We

:09:06.:09:11.

would like to see something done, even if it's just telling them they

:09:12.:09:14.

The pair have also agreed to talk to the university's pro vice

:09:15.:09:18.

chancellor who contacted them to arrange a meeting

:09:19.:09:22.

A fund, to pay for treatment for a swan shot with a crossbow

:09:23.:09:26.

in Cheltenham, has gone up to ?3,500.

:09:27.:09:27.

George the swan was found on Pitteville Lake yesterday

:09:28.:09:30.

with the bolt from the crossbow in his neck.

:09:31.:09:32.

He's still in a critical condition at the Vale Wildlife Hospital.

:09:33.:09:34.

The police are investigating the attack.

:09:35.:09:46.

That's it from others, more news on the BBC website and your local radio

:09:47.:09:52.

station where you are. Back with you and breakfast but for now, good

:09:53.:09:53.

night and the forecast. The breezes packing up and as the

:09:54.:10:05.

leading to tomorrow, that breezes going to be giving a marked

:10:06.:10:10.

wind-chill sought a pretty raw feeling day all round, a lot of

:10:11.:10:12.

clouds around as well but brightening up from the south as we

:10:13.:10:16.

head through the course of the afternoon. The cloud cover tending

:10:17.:10:22.

to thicken up and they list the resulting temperature across the

:10:23.:10:26.

region by daybreak, might even be a few like grains of snow blowing

:10:27.:10:31.

around as well and some drizzle. That may well freeze onto surfaces

:10:32.:10:34.

so the risk of ice about in some spots through tomorrow morning and a

:10:35.:10:37.

lot of cloud around but you will notice from the South how the skies

:10:38.:10:42.

are starting to break up and clear what an uncertain progression and we

:10:43.:10:45.

can expect some of that to be reaching for the North words by the

:10:46.:10:51.

tail end of the day. Winds will be a factor so they the ambient

:10:52.:10:58.

temperature, around 2-5, but by midday, if you factor in the

:10:59.:10:59.

strength of the bodies it'll be Good evening. If you think it was

:11:00.:11:11.

cold today, for many it will be colder still tomorrow. Cold even

:11:12.:11:15.

when we have the sunshine today. This was one of the wonderful

:11:16.:11:18.

weather watcher pictures we had sent in from Cornwall. It contrasts with

:11:19.:11:23.

a cloudy and foggy eastern half of the country, and a bank of cloud.

:11:24.:11:28.

Still foggy, but it is starting to lift. It is being pushed north and

:11:29.:11:32.

west, this bank of cloud. That will continue through the night. We will

:11:33.:11:35.

still have some fog sitting on the hills. Even with the cloud, it will

:11:36.:11:41.

be a cold night, with temperatures away from the far north and west

:11:42.:11:45.

falling to freezing. In the countryside, well below freezing.

:11:46.:11:49.

And on the wind and it will feel better, it already feels better.

:11:50.:11:53.

Giving us some freezing drizzle and snow as well. Although the fog will

:11:54.:11:56.

not be as extensive as recent nights,

:11:57.:11:57.
