Cuts to bus services. As some routes in Cornwall are axed, there's a | :00:11. | :00:21. | |
warning more could follow. Good evening. The passenger group | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
Travel Watch South West says many other services could be vulnerable. | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
We'll hear from bus users who could be affected. I cannot see why they | :00:29. | :00:36. | |
are cutting it. The Tour of Britain and a multi | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
million pound boost for Devon's economy. Tens of thousands are | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
expected to watch tomorrow's cycle race and the biggest names in the | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
sport. The people here certainly gets behind the tour and I think | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
this weekend will be phenomenal. And the Cornish pasty in Mexico. | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
Celebrating the miners and their famous food. | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
Bus services across Cornwall are being cut as the council makes | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
£500,000 of savings in its bus budget. One company is pulling out | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
of the far west of the county completely leading to fears that | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
drivers will lose their jobs. A campaign group has told BBC | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
Spotlight this is the start of more cuts to public transport across the | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
south west as local authorities struggle to subsidise services. | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
Dorset County Council says it needs to save £850,000 from its transport | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
budget next year. It's consulting users at the moment on which bus | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
routes should go. These come on top of recent cuts. £1.35 million went | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
from Devon's transport budget in 2011 and Somerset County Council had | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
to reduce the amount of money it spent on transport in the last | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
financial year by £1.2 million. Spotlight's David George reports. | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
The 508 service must be one of the most spectacular journeys in the | :01:54. | :02:07. | |
south—west. The route winds its way between ancient stone hedges with | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
sweeping views over the moors. But this is not a place where there will | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
be another one in a minute, this service will end in a few weeks | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
time. Passengers including staff and customers but lack They need a bus | :02:20. | :02:28. | |
service. You have all people that catch the bus, I just don't see | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
their point. You see them wasting money in other places on junk. Then | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
they go and cut vital services. One of our reasons for coming here is | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
being able to catch the bosses, the public transport, in order to do | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
walks and not tie yourself out too much. The bus operator has confirmed | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
it will withdraw its entire Penzance operation, it also cuts the 530 and | :02:56. | :03:06. | |
the Camelford route, or due to the reduction in financial support. —— | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
all due. We were approached in July and told that £500,000 worth of | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
savings had to be made and we were given a notice on the specific | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
number of contracts as far back as July and we have negotiated since. | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
We are trying to minimise the effect on the public. This is the | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
council's decision? Yes. It is a worry, especially for | :03:28. | :03:38. | |
the younger ones who have families and don't know what is happening. | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
They don't know whether they will be transferred or what. We just have to | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
keep our fingers crossed. It will fall disproportionately on those in | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
the greatest need. A lot of people are cut off in Cornwall and rely on | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
a bus service to get to work and do their business and to get out. It is | :04:00. | :04:07. | |
very important, that was the whole concept of the concessionary fares, | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
to allow people more mobility and at this rate they will have a bus pass | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
to nowhere. In a statement, the council says... | :04:13. | :04:26. | |
Other bus companies are also affected, First bus says they will | :04:26. | :04:35. | |
change services and it will publish the details soon. It has assured | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
they are NT union that no jobs will be lost at first bus stop —— First | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
bus. The 508 heads back to Saint Ives. The cuts and other changes | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
will take place in November. Well, earlier, I spoke to Ray | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
Bentley from the passenger group TravelWatch SouthWest. It is quite | :04:55. | :05:06. | |
bad, it varies, but it is quite bad across the region. You're talking | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
about Penrith today, but we would see was the final answer is yet. We | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
know what the withdrawals are, we know —— don't know how much Cornwall | :05:16. | :05:23. | |
can buy back but in urban areas as well as rural, Plymouth, the largest | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
city here, has seen a lot of bus service withdrawals. There will be | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
areas that do not have a bus service. The more worrying point is | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
that it will be ongoing, the local authorities don't have enough money | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
to buy back. They will have less money next year and even less they | :05:43. | :05:51. | |
are after that, so I feel this story may run and run and you will maybe | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
not be doing it about Penrith, but will be doing it about another area. | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
What will the impact be? I think that local councils maybe do | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
realise, but not sure of national Government have got it. The bus is | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
the fabric of life, it gets you to the shop, the doctors, and for some | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
people without that, how they get to work, to the shops? I think another | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
issue, if you compare trains to buses, is that in public transport | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
stakes, buses is the senior partner, the bus passenger numbers are vastly | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
larger than trains. The train subsidy is massively track massively | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
larger. There has been a push to get people to use public transport, | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
where does that leave that policy? It is a hollow policy. We live in an | :06:37. | :06:46. | |
age where councils say they don't have as much money has used to have, | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
something has to give, do you have sympathy with council? —— the | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
council. It is generally true across the whole range of service, | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
TravelWatch SouthWest is a passenger group and would appeal to Cornwall | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
to do as much as it can. To buy back as much as they can offer Penrith | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
network. It is not just about an abstract thing of buying back a bus | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
service, it is about giving someone and access to the —— their job and | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
the shops. In a statement, the Transport | :07:20. | :07:33. | |
Minister Norman Lamb said the coalition was committed to a high | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
quality affordable bus service. He went on to say this year's funding | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
includes direct support through the £350m Bus Service Operators' Grant | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
and that Cornwall has received £2.3 million from the Local Sustainable | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
Transport Fund. We'll have some of your emails on this later in the | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
programme. The Government has apologised to all | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
those affected by the Camelford water poisoning incident 25 years | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
ago. In the official apology, the Health Minister Anna Soobry and the | :08:03. | :08:03. | |
Environment Minister Richard Benyon say the incident was serious and | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
unprecedented and the water authority was slow to recognise what | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
had gone wrong. Spotlight's Janine Jansen joins us now, what exactly | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
has been said? This is the first time ever the Government has issued | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
a formal apology. Back in 1988, 20 tonnes of aluminium sulphate was | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
poured into at the treatment works in Camelford. 20,000 people were | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
affected because the water supply was contaminated. People have been | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
worried about the health effects since then and people have been | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
worried about a cover—up, especially since the local water of what | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
authority was due to be privatised. It is acknowledged that it was | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
serious and unprecedented. The water of Verity was slow to recognise what | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
had gone wrong and so to communicate with public health or —— local | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
health authorities. What has been the reaction? I spoke | :08:54. | :09:06. | |
to a campaigner, his wife Carole died nearly ten years ago, she drank | :09:06. | :09:13. | |
the water and had higher levels of aluminium in her brain. He says that | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
there needs to be a ministerial inquiry. He says the apology is not | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
adequate. Elsa spoke to the MP for North Cornwall and he says that he | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
arranged the meeting is to secure the apology, he says he welcomes it, | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
but it is too late. —— I also spoke. All other campaigners want more | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
medical research into the effect on the brain. | :09:38. | :09:56. | |
Tour of Britain arrives in Devon tomorrow. Thousands are expected to | :09:56. | :10:04. | |
line the route. The race starts tomorrow morning in Sidmouth and | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
Dave Gibbons is there live for us tonight. Dave. The race between | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
Barnstable and Dartmouth was watched by thousands and broadcast in 124 | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
countries. Plymouth rider Jonathan won the county stage, he also won | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
the overall race, the first Briton to do so for 19 years. Stage six of | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
the tour covers 85 miles, it starts tomorrow in Sidmouth at 11am, | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
cyclists follow a route all the way to Exeter and Chudleigh before | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
heading north to six mile Hill, finishing at the King of the | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
mountain to climb. Traders inside mouth has embraced the event, with | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
displays in shop windows. We obviously very lucky to have the | :10:46. | :10:54. | |
start here. For so many people to be coming here would be incredible. I | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
am not sure how —— if the town realises. Roads are closed and shops | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
will open early tomorrow. It is thought that the Devon stage of the | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
tour contributed more than £3 million to the local economy. The | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
Dartmoor National Park authority says more people visited the area | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
then than during the whole of last summer. It is expected to be as | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
popular this year. This is a venue where the tour really looks forward | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
to coming because the people in Devon gets behind it. I think this | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
weekend is going to be phenomenal. The tour has eight stages in all. It | :11:33. | :11:43. | |
finishes in London. You are watching BBC Spotlight. | :11:43. | :11:53. | |
After some breezy days, I will be back later with a full weather | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
forecast about how things are warming up for the weekend. This is | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
where stage six of the Tour of Britain will start from in the | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
morning. It is Sidmouth and we would be | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
building up to the big occasion later in the programme. | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
We'll be talking to the leader of the UKIP. Four months after his | :12:13. | :12:20. | |
party won an unprecedented six seats on Cornwall Council, one of its UKIP | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
councillors was unable to tell the BBC what the group are doing now | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
they've been elected. Cllr Vivien Lewis also told the BBC he thought | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
people might have voted for him because they thought he was a woman. | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
I am new to politics and I had not made any particular effort to get | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
elected and so obviously that like to be elected, I thought you had to | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
put a lot into it, and just to be told that they voted for you... You | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
are in, it was quite a surprise. As mentioned, our Political Editor | :12:57. | :13:04. | |
Martyn Oates spoke to the UKIP Leader Nigel Farage ahead of the | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
party conference tomorrow. He asked him about Councillor Vivian Lewis's | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
comments. One year ago, you are explaining about how UKIP had become | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
more serious. We have spoken to one of your new councils in Cornwall who | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
said that he was surprised to be acted, he didn't strive hard to get | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
elected and he thinks that people may have voted for him because he is | :13:25. | :13:31. | |
a woman, he's called Vivian. None of that sum serious, does it? And you | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
go around the others, that sum serious, does it? And you | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
party memberships everywhere, you will realise that is not unusual. | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
When we talked last year, I said that I believe that UKIP could | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
succeed, not just in European elections, but could make a real | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
dent in domestic politics and on made a second, we did that. I tend | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
to find that most politicians and I speak to a lot of them are engaged | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
with politics, they are into politics. We also asked the council | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
what his UKIP group on Cornwall County Councils doing to influence | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
things and he said, this is where I would like to have my behind me to | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
front for me, because politics have —— has never be one of my strong | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
points. You can pick on one person if you want, that is fine. But UKIP | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
has stunned everybody by getting 22% of the national vote in the county | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
election is. It is a big step forward. One or two candidates who | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
did not get elected and get elected, that does not make us | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
unique. What I am driving at is that you know a lot of people said UKIP | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
is Nigel Farage and the reality is over you make a good stab at it, you | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
cannot be everywhere, you have to have a machine of engaged | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
politicians behind you. Let's hope we don't have a party machine of | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
engaged politicians, what a ghastly thought. What we want our men and | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
women who represent a broad cross—section of society who have | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
had jobs, have worked in the real world, understand what it is like | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
the small businessmen, who have knowledge of what has happened in | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
the fishing community as a result of pupils from the | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
the fishing community as a result of people who don't quite fit the | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
profile, better that than to do what the other parties do and go for | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
cardboard cutouts. The point is, if you decide to like Ed Miliband or | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
David Cameron, that is reasonable because there is a good chance they | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
will be running the country and making influential decisions. | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
Saying I will vote UKIP because I like Nigel Farage and getting | :15:44. | :15:51. | |
someone locally who is making important decisions locally and is | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
maybe not engaged, it is not the same thing. why have people in the | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
West Country been voting Liberal since the First World War? Knowing | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
since the First World War, there is no prospect of the Liberals forming | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
a Government, in fact, until recently, no way of them getting... | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
Weighted voting for Paddy Ashdown? I don't know that. UKIP has become a | :16:09. | :16:16. | |
party, we showed it in the county elections, whose main party —— whose | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
main policies are in ascendancy. If we are able in the next election to | :16:21. | :16:28. | |
produce a really earth—shattering result in those elections, we will | :16:28. | :16:34. | |
have the momentum to be a serious challenge in 2015. Why didn't you | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
bet do better in the south—west? —— do better? | :16:38. | :16:44. | |
We didn't do as well in the south—west as we did in the other | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
regions, you are quite right. I suspect the reason is that the | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
south—west has not felt quite as acutely what open—door immigration | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
has done to the south—east. Is a doubt, but this counsellor said he | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
thought immigration was not such a big issue in Cornwall because you | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
don't see as many coloured people. It seemed an odd thing to say, | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
because the simple fact of whether they are black or white gives no | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
indication of whether they are here for generations. He was right for | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
the wrong reasons. Actually, he's just mirroring what I said. You are | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
talking about Eastern European immigration vote. Ya mac very much. | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
But having said that, I was in pesto and there seem to be a lot of Polish | :17:33. | :17:40. | |
people there, but nothing like the extent of social change in the rest | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
of the country. That was Nigel Farage talking to our | :17:42. | :17:49. | |
political editor. At the end of the 19th century, | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
hundreds of miners left Cornwall for Mexico. And they took with them a | :17:55. | :18:07. | |
taste of home, the pasty. Well, pasties are still eaten in Mexico, | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
they even celebrate them with a festival. And next month, a group of | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
Cornish bakers will be travelling to Real del Monte in Mexico to perform | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
a special task. Eleanor Parkinson has been finding out more. | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
Traditional Cornish pasties made from beef steak and vegetables, but | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
future hold 5000 miles away, you would find Cornish pasties there. | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
But they would be called pastes and the fillings can be a little | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
spicier. The Cornish pasty arrived in Mexico in the 19th century when | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
hundreds of Cornish miners emigrated to work in the gold and silver | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
mines. Real del Monte is a little corner of Cornwall, Cornish miners | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
married local girls and people still have Cornish certain —— surnames and | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
they even have a pasta —— pasty festival. This woman will be | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
unveiling a plaque in the town's cemetery where more than 800 miners | :18:59. | :19:06. | |
are buried. It is almost your skin... I can feel the hairs on my | :19:06. | :19:13. | |
arm. On the headstones, it says Evans, all sorts of different names, | :19:13. | :19:24. | |
Williams... This man will be going on the trip. David, this is a | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
picture of your uncle, I believe. When was this taken? In the 1920s. | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
These are all the plates of silver and I believe they were rolled in | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
plates, slightly bevelled for the possibility of the rolling of | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
coinage. As well as the celebration of the lives of the miners, they'll | :19:44. | :19:53. | |
be celebrating the pasty. The ingredients are different because | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
they cannot get all of the ingredients, can they? That is the | :19:57. | :20:06. | |
problem. They cannot get sweet or turnip, for example, so they have to | :20:06. | :20:12. | |
find a substitute, we will go down the markets and we will see what we | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
can find. The delegation travels to Mexico | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
next month, they say that where ever you find a mine, you will find a | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
Cornishman and most probably a Cornish pasty. | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
They look lovely. My stomach is rumbling. The Tour of Britain | :20:31. | :20:38. | |
arrives in Devon tomorrow. Thousands are expected to line the route. The | :20:38. | :20:45. | |
race starts tomorrow morning in Sidmouth and Dave Gibbons is there | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
live for us tonight. Dave. Thanks, Natalie. It is very chilly | :20:48. | :20:55. | |
here. As the sun goes down over my shoulder, just down the road, we | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
have some criterion racing taking place. We will find out exactly what | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
that is soon, but it is also the start of the Tour of Britain stage | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
six tomorrow, so Bradley Wiggins is the leader by 37 seconds and will be | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
here in the morning. Joining me now is Mike from the Sid Valley cycling | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
club. It is very cold. Let's hope the weather improves tomorrow | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
morning. What can we expect here? This would be packed, won't it? | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
Hopefully, most of the schools have the morning off and hopefully a lot | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
of businesses would open as early as normal. What does it mean to | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
Sidmouth and East Devon? I think it means a huge amount, cycling is | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
something we can justifiably argue that we are a world leader at. To | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
have the calibre of rider as we have at the moment racing on Sidmouth | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
seafront is fantastic for the town, for the county and the cycling in | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
general. You live up the road from here, what steamy think it means | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
economic? —— what do There are so many cafes and businesses, hopefully | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
lots of people will turn up tomorrow. Hopefully, it would be | :22:12. | :22:20. | |
economically good. We have the members of your Valley club who are | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
organising tonight's prelude. What exactly is criterion racing? It | :22:25. | :22:33. | |
is generally on a close run circuit, it is generally any town centre, the | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
fans get very close to the riders, there are lots of tight turns, | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
tomorrow has been good, hopefully it will be. Thank you for joining us. | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
We will find out exactly what the weather is like in a second and this | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
is going to be absolutely heaving tomorrow. Mark Cavendish will be | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
here and Bradley Wiggins will be too. | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
BBC Radio Devon will be live. The threat to bus services in parts of | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
the region has prompted a number of e—mails. Jenni in Zennor says "for a | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
rural community like ours to thrive in the 21st century, it needs decent | :23:18. | :23:25. | |
broadband and a decent bus service. We've never had the first and now | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
seem set to lose the second." Ian in Falmouth says: "This seems to be the | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
actions of a council that has no understanding of the community it is | :23:36. | :23:36. | |
there to serve and support." Liz in Zennor says: " I don't know | :23:36. | :23:43. | |
how the elderly residents of the village will manage. It will leave | :23:43. | :23:51. | |
them isolated and I fear for their well being." And on Facebook, Sharon | :23:51. | :23:52. | |
writes: "Why do the council have to keep cutting the bus services? How | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
do they expect people to get to the supermarkets or into towns to pay | :23:57. | :23:58. | |
their bills including the council tax? " let's see what the weather | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
has in store. After the conditions we had, things | :24:01. | :24:12. | |
have improved, we are going to get some cloudy conditions, but | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
improving as the day progresses. It is largely dry, some sunny spells by | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
the afternoon. We have seen an improving picture for today after | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
the cloudy, damp start. We sent out Keith to port wrinkle to see —— take | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
some pictures. We don't have them, I am afraid, but we did have an | :24:31. | :24:38. | |
improving picture. Tomorrow, we are looking at a day of variable cloud, | :24:38. | :24:44. | |
there will be some bright spells in the afternoon and the winds will be | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
lighter. We have had a lot of cloud. This cold front is | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
responsible for that cloud. It is clearing away and towards France and | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
dry conditions tonight, clearest bells and as we look towards | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
tomorrow, we see high pressure coming from the Atlantic. This | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
weather front will cause some trouble, forecasting the cloud | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
conditions for tomorrow and Saturday. By Saturday afternoon, | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
high pressure will dominate the weather and we are looking at | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
improved conditions for must of the weekend. The cloud, we are... On | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
Saturday, we have seen some sunny spells, we will continue to see | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
clear skies, especially from eastern parts into the evening and | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
overnight. Further towards the west, more coming in and it feels quite | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
cool, especially under the clear skies, temperatures dipping to seven | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
Celsius in Taunton. A cloudy day for many, but that cloud will thin and | :25:36. | :25:43. | |
break to allow some sunny spells by the afternoon. Temperatures will be | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
reaching around 16 Celsius. The Isles of Scilly, quite cloudy, and | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
may be thick enough to wring some drizzle, it will improve into the | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
afternoon and the winds will be light. The high water times, 6:36am | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
and 1855 in the evening. For Plymouth, 7:03am and then 19:19pm. | :26:03. | :26:10. | |
We have had breezy conditions today, making the surf quite messy, but | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
tomorrow we are looking at clean conditions, especially on the | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
northern coast, about three to foot of clean conditions. The winds are | :26:18. | :26:29. | |
West, acting southeasterly three to four. We could see patchy fog in | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
places, generally good visibility, becoming moderate or pool. Cloudy | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
conditions and the Saturday some uncertainty about the amount of | :26:40. | :26:46. | |
cloud, but we will have some sunny spells. The winds will be liked. The | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
best chance of sunshine is on Sunday and Monday as temperatures creep up | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
to 20 Celsius and it does look like the conditions will last for much of | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
next week, as well, as high pressure stays with us. Have a grey night. | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
