The fight over a new incinerator for Plymouth is decided - the plans | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
get the go ahead. Good evening and welcome to Spotlight. The news came | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
in late this afternoon following a debate which began first thing this | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
morning. We'll have all the reaction. Also tonight: Truro pays | :00:22. | :00:31. | |
tribute. The family of a soldier who died after he was injured in | :00:31. | :00:40. | |
Afghanistan are supported by a whole city. He was always laughing. | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
A really nice boy. Too hot to handle - the Government is accused | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
of panicking in its cut to subsidies in the solar rush. Losing | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
out in Looe - businesses say closing a road will leave them out | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
of pocket, but builders promise to work around the clock. And as a | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
baby they didn't think she'd live beyond a day, but today Hilda | :00:58. | :01:07. | |
celebrates 101 years. Months of protest came to a head in hours of | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
debate today as councillors in Plymouth met to decide whether to | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
agree to a new incinerator being built. The list of concerns was | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
long, but the project will now go ahead. Reacting to the news tonight | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
campaigners said it was disappointing. But the local | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
authority said it was the right decision. In a moment we'll be | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
speaking to the company behind the plans. First Spotlight's Scott | :01:26. | :01:36. | |
:01:36. | :01:37. | ||
Bingham reports. Stuart's home is just 60 metres from the site where | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
the waste to energy plant will be built. He was one of many left | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
disappointed by today's decision. Well apart from boarding up the | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
windows and bars with sound- reducing panels, I can't see any | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
way of reducing the impact. We have already experienced noise from test | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
drillings. That has made residents evacuate their houses. I sigh no | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
choice, I won't be able to stay. well as noise and traffic some | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
locals are concerned about the potential health risk of emissions. | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
They also feel they haven't been given a fair hearing. All I'm | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
trying to do is fight for clean air for a safe place for my two | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
children and myself. Call me what you will, but the fact they | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
couldn't respond in that chamber today I think was a very bad | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
judgment. We think there is a problem. The protesters were out | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
early and they packed into the public gallery for the meeting. The | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
meeting became heated on a number of occasions, at one point a public | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
speaker was threatened with ejection after deliberately | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
exceeding his five minutes speaking time. The chairman was forced to | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
call the public gallery to order several types. It took planners | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
five hours to approve the application. It was clear that a | :03:03. | :03:12. | |
building of this size, of this design, so close to local residents | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
was unacceptable. It is the only decision for the people of Plymouth. | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
There is nowhere else to go with refuse now. We have to built an | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
incinerator somewhere. It had to go somewhere and it is going in Nair | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
area. The approval comes with �16 million worth of conditions, | :03:32. | :03:42. | |
:03:42. | :03:42. | ||
including money for schools and a community trust. 3 hundred jobs | :03:42. | :03:50. | |
will be create -- 300 jobs will be created during construction. But | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
protesters feel that is little compensation for the cost to their | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
lives. One of the concerns is the level of emissions, Paul Carey is | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
the managing director of company that runs the plant. Can you | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
guarantee there will be no risk to people's health. It is clearly an | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
emotive point. Our application inclued a detailed record of the | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
impact. The planning officers have looked at that, the health | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
protection have looked at that and come to same condition collusion | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
that it should be given consent. That is not the same as saying | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
there is no risk. Nothing is risk- free, you walk across the road you | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
take a risk, you throw waste in a bin and it goes to landfill. What | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
we have here is a state of the art design, the best you can get and it | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
is as low risk as you can get. The impact have been deemed as Cemable, | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
as not significant. That -- acceptable. That means people | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
should be rest assured that it won't cause the concerns they have | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
stated. We understand those concern and want to continue talking with | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
the community about what we do, how we do it and reassuring them what | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
will happen is no t what they fear. The protesters say there were 28 | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
incident in three years at your plant in Germany, is that true? | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
There were some problems a few year ago to do with mercury and we shut | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
the plant down. That shows how we respond. That was to do with a | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
particular type of fuel. It is not the same kind of plant as here. And | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
we took action. These plants are built to high standard and have | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
extensive control systems. The emissions are monitored every | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
second and they are always under observation, 24 hours a Kay, -- day, | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
seven days a week and they will always be kept under clot scrutiny. | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
Just reassure them, they will be worried about that, how can you | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
reassure them? We want to carry on talk. For this is the beginning of | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
a journey of being part of community and we want to be a | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
significant part and play our role. We want to carry on talking with | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
people, as we have been doing over the last year or two. That is an | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
important part after trying to -- of trying to proindividual | :06:27. | :06:36. | |
reassurance. Thank you. -- provide reassurance. Thank you. Hundreds | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
gathered to pay tribute today to a Cornish soldier who paid the | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
ultimate price of his life on a mission aimed at improving the | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
lives of Afghan people. Sapper Elijah Bond was described as a | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
soldier who always had a smile on his face and who was an inspiration | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
to all. Spotlight's Matt Pengelly was at his funeral today in Truro. | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
The centre of Truro stood silent as the hears carrying sapper Elijah | :06:55. | :07:03. | |
Bond moved through the city. The 24-year-old had been serving with | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
35-engineer regiment in Helmand when he was badly injured by a | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
roadside bomb. He was flown back to the UK, but died two days later. | :07:12. | :07:20. | |
Today, Elijah Bond's parents, Liz and Mark watched as his brother and | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
sisters paid their own tributes. will always remember you for your | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
beautiful big brown eyes, noticeable ears and gorgeous | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
grinment your personality has tumped not om your family, but | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
everyone who met you. -- touched not only your family, but everyone | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
who met you. Now you're free in heavens light up the sky and make | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
the night spectacular. However hard it is though we will take comfort | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
in the thought of all the memories we have and the happiness you | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
brought. You lived life to the full. But our won't be the same until the | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
day we can see your smiling face again. Elijah Bond was an an | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
engineering reconnaissance mission, looking at ways to improve the | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
infrastructure for local Afghan people, when he was wounded. | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
squadron has been devastated and our thoughts and prayers are with | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
his family and friend. His millimetrery lives on -- memory | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
live on. After the service, a firing party paid their last | :08:28. | :08:38. | |
:08:38. | :08:41. | ||
tribute. Before the cortege moved away to a private family burial. | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
The Government's plans to cut solar energy subsidies by half from this | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
month suffered another blow today. Yesterday the High Court ruled that | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
changing the so-called feed in tariffs before the end of an | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
official consultation period was legally flawed. Now two influential | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
committees of MPs have also been severely critical Our Political | :08:54. | :09:04. | |
:09:04. | :09:05. | ||
Editor Martyn Oates joins us now. The brief hisry of the fees in | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
tariff has been a roller coster. Yes it started before Labour lost | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
power. The coalition came in and confirmed they would go ahead with | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
the scheme. In Cornwall we had Cornwall council predicting a solar | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
power gold rush. Then the Government said the scheme was | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
becoming unaffordable and the Government's cutback in a big way | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
the subsidies to bigger solar installation and wants to do the | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
with -- same with staller installations. Two committee said | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
the Government was right to do that, but they were critical of way in | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
which ministers have gone about the process. They say that could put | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
jobs at risk. Well, the department could have realised back in the | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
summer that actually so many people were taking up these incentives the | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
position could not be sustained. If they had started a consultation | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
process back in July, they could have conducted the whole thing in | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
an orderly manner and not damage the industry and penalise people. | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
What will happen now? Government seem determined to stick | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
to its guns. It doesn't have to listen to select committees, the | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
legal judgment is different, there noise option of ignoring it. The | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
Government wants an appeal heard as soon as possible. If it can't get | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
the judgment overturned it seems likely this cut off for the higher | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
rate of payments will have to be extended. Thank you. If you're | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
driving a float in a carnival or cutting grass for the local | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
community, should you be allowed to fill up your tank with cheaper red | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
diesel? Well BBC Spotlight has found there may be an answer after | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
some have got caught out by the law. The Treasury is hoping common sense | :10:49. | :10:58. | |
will prevail. Hamish Marshall assess whether it will. It is a | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
spectacular sight, bring communities together and raising | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
money for charities. But fears over prosecution led some carnival | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
committees to make changes this year, for fear of breaking the law. | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
Last summer John was prosecuted for mowing the local football pitch in | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
Devon. His crime was to use his tractor filled with red diesel, | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
which has a lower rated of tax than normal diesel. The Treasury has | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
said its telling revenue ooh customs to adopt a common-sense | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
approach with community events. But the details haven't been released | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
and until they are, those who have been campaigning remain wary. | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
course it is ease y toy discern what is being -- easy to discern | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
what is being done unpaid for the community and what is a business | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
enterprise. The latter would be wrong. The former must be permitted. | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
As well as tractors that keep the roads clear during winter, the | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
carnival seen could benefit. Many use normal diesel. At the moment, | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
no one knows where they stand. There are several clubs have been | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
on white diesel and it has cost them a fortune for no reason. | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
Whether that that clarity comes will only be known when the | :12:23. | :12:30. | |
guidelines are publisheded - published. On the eve of Plymouth | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
City Airport closing for good, an MP is making a last attempt to save | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
the runway. The final passenger flight took off in the summer. The | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
Labour MP for Plymouth Moor View, Alison Seabeck, says she's written | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
to the Department for Transport calling on ministers to subsidise | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
regional air services. Police in Dorset say the number of people | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
caught drink driving in December has risen. They arrested 90 people | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
in the first three weeks of the month, compared with 50 in the same | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
period last year. Repairing the collapsed river wall in Bridgwater | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
is now expected to take until the end of next summer. The work will | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
begin in the New Year and will cost �1.5 million. The wall fell down in | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
November. Residents in the Cornish town of Looe are furious about | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
plans to close one of the main roads into the town. They say the | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
closure next month will cause huge disruption and put businesses at | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
risk. The developers say they'll do the job as fast as they can. | :13:20. | :13:30. | |
:13:30. | :13:32. | ||
Spotlight's Janine Jansen reports. This is the B 235 to Looe. The | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
developer is building an estate of around 180 new houses. The work's | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
already causing congestion, but in January, the road will be closed so | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
a new sewer can be laid. The work will take weeks, locals are unhappy, | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
they're planning new routes and a fight back. This road clesure will | :13:53. | :14:01. | |
cost this business �3,000 each day. We're one of 300 businesses. So the | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
impact on Looe will be huge. South West Water and Barratt Homes say | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
they will do their best to minimise disruption and the developers have | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
promised to work around-the-clock. But locals are still unhappy about | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
problems for the emergency service. If there is a problem on one side | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
of town, the fire service will not be able to get to the other side of | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
the town in the time they need to for aen emergency. So where it | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
might be four minutes to get across town f they have to take the | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
alternative route, we're looking at 15 or 20 minutes. Cornwall's fire | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
and rescue service say they will work with the contractors and | :14:47. | :14:55. | |
making a specific effort to push a fire safety message. Safety is the | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
top of our agenda and we will make sure you get a fire appliance as | :15:00. | :15:07. | |
soon as possible and we will be in the area pushing fire prevention | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
messages. The road will close on 4th January. People are worried it | :15:12. | :15:19. | |
will be a far from happy new year. The troubled economic waters are | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
lasting longer than many expected so what if you swam against the | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
tide in 2008 and opened up shop? This week we're returning to three | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
small businesses we've been following since 2008; a restaurant, | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
a garage conversion firm, and a B&B. Today it's the turn of The Green | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
Door restaurant at Woodbury, near Exeter. It's now decided to go from | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
pile high, sell it cheap to expensive and exclusive and is now | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
turning a profit. Our business correspondent Neil Gallacher | :15:39. | :15:49. | |
:15:49. | :15:51. | ||
reports. If any of our three businesses has had a battle, it | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
appears to be Mark's restaurant. have been open for lunch for about | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
a month and we have done about 20 lunches. That is terrible really. | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
Hopefully we will take enough to pay the bills and pay the rent. I | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
think I have spent some money that we're going to earn in Christmas | :16:10. | :16:18. | |
already. So 2011 ends and Mark is not only in business still, but has | :16:18. | :16:24. | |
done well. He has arrived a t a decision that may sound perverse. | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
We have cut the number of customer, make the restaurant smaller, but | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
make the food better. So we're doing less customer, but better | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
food, which you can charge more for and so in the long rung you, | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
hopefully you make more. You have tot try this and if you don't try | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
that, you try something else. I have done the cheap three courses | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
for �10. But your busy and can fill the restaurant, but you don't make | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
any money. After three years of hard work, how does Mark feel about | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
the fact that we could be slipping to another recession? I don't we | :17:03. | :17:10. | |
have come out of recession have we? I don't know. Business is normal? | :17:10. | :17:17. | |
Yes I don't know, you have to just keep the food good. Some people | :17:17. | :17:27. | |
:17:27. | :17:28. | ||
have got money! So the Green Door still open. Now, to the final BBC | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
South West sports award of 2011. Tonight, it's the turn of the | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
Sportsman of the Year accolade. Spotlight's Dave Gibbins has been | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
to the Midlands to present the trophy to someone who's been making | :17:37. | :17:47. | |
:17:47. | :17:49. | ||
something of a splash! We're here at the where the top swimmers train | :17:49. | :17:57. | |
and also our own top twimer from Exeter, Liam lan cock. He made a | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
big splash this year by retain your 50 metre world backstroke title in | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
Shanghai. Although you were disappointing in the 100 metre, you | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
won gold earlier in the British Championships. So I have no | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
hesitation for the second year running in announcing Liam | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
Hancock's the BBC South West's sportsman of the year for 20 lever. | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
Well done. It is a pleasure. It has been a great year. I have retained | :18:28. | :18:35. | |
my bitele -- my title and that hadn't been done for 36 years. To | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
retain it two years on the trot is amazing. Thank you and I'm looking | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
forward to coming back to the South West. 2012 is the big year for you, | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
to complete your set you need a medal in the Olympics, prefer Blay | :18:52. | :19:01. | |
gold. Do you feel as though --ibly plefribly a cold. -- prefer Blay | :19:01. | :19:08. | |
gold. I train hard and for me it is about doing the hard work so when I | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
get to next summer, hopefully I qualify at the trials in March and | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
let's see what happens. I have a feeling I might be here again this | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
time next year and you have won yourself a medal in the Olympics. | :19:22. | :19:31. | |
We hope so, well done. Thank you. A patient from the South West has had | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
a pen removed from her stomach 25 years after she swallowed it. The | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
woman, who's not been named, was using the pen to check her tonsils | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
in 1986. When she reported the accident at the time, nothing | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
showed up on the x-rays and her GP and husband didn't believe her. | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
Doctors at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital took it out after | :19:47. | :19:54. | |
she complained of weight loss and diarrhoea. You know what? | :19:54. | :20:03. | |
Apparently it still works! I mazing - it must have been the write time! | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
Celebrating your 101st birthday is something of an achievement, but | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
Hilda Marchant was never expected to live beyond a day. On 22nd | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
December 1910, her parents were told she probably wouldn't survive. | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
More than a century later she's still proving everyone wrong. | :20:16. | :20:25. | |
Spotlight's John Henderson joined the party in Dawlish. I'm Caitlyn | :20:25. | :20:35. | |
and I'm seven and I'm here to celebrate my big gran's 101st birth | :20:35. | :20:44. | |
Tay day. David it is a good thing to be here. I'm Charlotte a great | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
grand daughter and this is my son. He is a great, great grandson. | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
Hello I'm a great, great grandson. This is the birthday girl giving | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
only a day to live after being born two months premature in 1910. | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
doctor said I wouldn't live out the day and told my mother to get the | :21:06. | :21:13. | |
vicar to get me Chris tened and so I could die properly. I'm still | :21:13. | :21:19. | |
here. I'd like to see that doctor today. I'd tell him to where to go | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
to. Hilda has lived in Devon through two World Wars, countless | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
Prime Ministers and many changes. She's been through a lot. He has | :21:28. | :21:35. | |
had three or four major cancer operations and she fell coming home | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
from choir practice when she was 925 broke her arm, which is still | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
wrobg broken. She has to wear a plaster on it. Her family | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
celebrated with lunch in Dawlish. Top of the table was hill ta. - | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
Hilda. I don't know what it look like, but she has stuck it on me | :21:57. | :22:07. | |
head. You haven't had a kis then? No. -- kiss then. Ore thank you. | :22:07. | :22:17. | |
:22:17. | :22:18. | ||
oh thank you. Many happy returns. Now time for the weather. It -- I | :22:18. | :22:25. | |
it cold and Christmassy. Well grey it cold and Christmassy. Well grey | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
and mild is the weather. A brief frost on Saturday morning and then | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
mild and a lot of cloud and Christmas day and Boxing Day. This | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
stripe of cloud is coming towards us tomorrow. It will bring some | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
rain, not tonight, just some drizzle. That will move in and by | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
lunchtime it is across most of the South West. Some heavier bursts of | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
rain and then a change of direction and north-west winds will bring | :22:51. | :22:59. | |
colder air and the risk of a frost. On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
we have the mild temperatures of double figures. Earlier we had some | :23:05. | :23:12. | |
brightness, but it has been very mild. That is the case at Rose Moor | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
Gardens where our camera woman went to see what is happening here. We | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
have a few flowers out that shouldn't be out at this time of | :23:20. | :23:30. | |
year. That is a Snowdrop, which shouldn't be out until February. So | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
many of the flowers have been fooled into thinking they should be | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
starting to flower. There will with be a brief frost tomorrow. But not | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
tonight. Mild and damp. After a light drizzle, more rain turns up | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
by the end of the night sm Particularly in the west. Breezy | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
too and temperatures no lower than eight or nine degrees. Tomorrow we | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
have some rain coming in. Wit bill heavy for a while and it moves -- | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
it will be heavy for a while and it moves away. A a clearance does | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
happen in Devon and Cornwall. Slightly colder air following | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
behind. After a strong south-west breeze, the winds become north- | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
westerly, remaining strong and by early evening the temperatures are | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
back down to eight or nine degrees. For the Isles of Scilly the rain | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
will clear and there will be some showers, but some fine weather and | :24:24. | :24:30. | |
better in term of seeing sunny spells. Times of high water are on | :24:30. | :24:40. | |
:24:40. | :24:47. | ||
screen. For surfers, for north and south coast it will be quite choppy. | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
A change in the coastal waters wind, the winds first thing sou westerly, | :24:53. | :25:00. | |
force six to seven. Veering north- westerly. Rain then showers, | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
moderate or poor visibility and the visibility becoming good. I | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
mentioned we could have frost. This is Christmas Eve morning where | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
there will be some frost. Especially in east Devon. But | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
Christmas day we are expecting milder air returning and look at | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
the temperatures, by Boxing Day up to 12 degrees and quite a bit of | :25:20. | :25:30. | |
:25:30. | :25:32. | ||
cloud. Have a good evening. Thank you. We're back tomorrow. But | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
before we go tonight we've had a number of calls and e-mails asking | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
for the name of the church which has been the setting for the | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
Christmas Carols we've been ending the programme with all this week. | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
You may need a pen and paper for this one - it's the Garrison Church | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
of Saint Katherine The Virgin-Upon- The Hoe. So here with Silent Night | :25:48. | :25:55. | |
is Plymouth's Military Wives Choir. From us all - goodnight. # Silent | :25:55. | :26:05. | |
