the evening on the BBC News Channel. And I'll be back with the late news | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
at Ten. Now though on BBC One it's time for the news where you are. Bye | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
for now. Business Good evening. Businesses in | :00:00. | :00:24. | |
west London have reacted angrily to the mayor's proposals to turn | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Heathrow into a garden city. Boris Johnson says 90,000 and thousands of | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
jobs would be created if the hub airport moves from Heathrow to the | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
estuary. Here's our transport correspondent, Tom Edwards. This is | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
the message some businesses now want the mayor to see, this company | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
employs 70 people and they say Heathrow is vital to the area's | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
economy. Talk of moving it is crazy. I think it is essential that | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
Heathrow remains a hub airport, expands, rather than somewhere far | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
afield that people aren't used to and would cost a lot, lot more | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
money. Nothing remains the same forever. At one time there were huge | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
elements of the population engaged in looking after horses and then | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
somebody ups and invents the motor car. Now what has happened to them? | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
They are doing something else now, aren't they? If the mayor gets his | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
way, Heathrow will end up looking a bit like this. The terminal | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
buildings could be used for retail and community use. Two campus | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
universities is another option. City Hall believes a hub airport in the | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
estuary would be a better base, with fewer people affected by noise and | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
pollution. But between now and 2030, the | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
population is London is likely to grow by another 2 million people, by | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
25%. If you are sitting there as Mayor of London, you have to think | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
hard about homes and jobs for them. We have a congested west London and | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
a Heathrow Airport which isn't doing its job, which is constrained and | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
environmentally damaging. Like other cities ` as it has been done | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
elsewhere ` we should think of moving it out of the city limits. | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
The western side of London is very much geared to Heathrow being where | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
it is and the location of a lot of businesses demounty areas to the | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
west of London are also related to the idea of having a major airport | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
at the west of London, not in the estuary. At the moment, Heathrow and | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
Gatwick are on the shortlist for expansion. An estuary airport may | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
still be added. A final decision won't be made until 2015. | :02:26. | :02:33. | |
Firefighters from across Berkshire have spent much of the day trying it | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
save one of the county's most historic homes after a fire broke | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
out. Flames sfreted roof of the kitchen at Hirst Lodge. The blaze is | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
still continuing. A street in London's West End, known as Tin Pan | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
Alley because of its musical roots, has been officially recognised with | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
a blue plaque. Denmark Street was once home to Britain's music | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
publishers and songwriters and became a favourite haunt of stars | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
such as David Bowie and the Rolling Stones. Earlier, a host of industry | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
figures joined the '60s pop star, Donovan, to unveil the plaque. | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
Residents in Hounslow have complained that their new | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
replacement street lights are so bright they're unable to get a | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
proper night's sleep. The council's started using them as part of a | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
multi`million pound scheme to improve the borough's streets. But | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
some residents say it's "like living on a football pitch", as Cordelia | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
Hemming reports. So I'm sealing up my Venitian blinds | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
and I'm doing this with duct tape. For Christina, this is a daily | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
routine, all down to the latest addition to the neighbourhood I'm | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
just going to show you what the new street lamp looks like in our front | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
room. How incredibly bright that light is. | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Three weeks ago, eight`metre tall LED lights were installed on | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
Christina's street. She says they are affecting her every day life. | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
The lied that comes through the side of the blinds is basically like a | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
great big spotlight that's beam willing into your face as you are | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
trying to relax with the familiar lane watch TV in the evening as | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
well. The plan is to install these new street lights throughout the | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
whole of the borough. The council says it has no obligation to consult | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
residents, which has left many people feeling angry. As darkness | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
falls, the black`out blinds go up, in an attempt to keep out the light. | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
We have had to resort to that black cardboard which we bought which Kate | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
has glued together to mask the window. Like World War Two. We had | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
no idea this was going to happen and it's not a great way to live your | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
life. The council were keen to highlight the benefits of the new | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
lighting system. They are much more cost effective. They burn less | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
electricity, they give a more directional light which means less | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
light pollution. For those that aren't happy, the council is looking | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
at a trial to dim the lights, you but not until the summer. In the | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
nooinl, residents like Christina and Andy will have to resort to their | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
own dimming methods. Now the weather with Elizabeth. | :05:18. | :05:27. | |
Outbreaks of rain from the west tonight but it will be mild. | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
Temperatures not dropping out of double figures. | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
A wet start to the working week tomorrow. Showers throughout morning | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
some heavy at times. That will continue throughout the | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
day. For the rest of the working week, dry and bright but a touch | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
cooler. That's it from us. There is more | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
news, travel and weather on our website. We will be back later | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
tonight. Join us them. Good evening, after a fairly mild | :05:53. | :06:11. | |
weekend, a fresher week in store for the week ahead. Moreshine at times | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
but not a huge amount tomorrow because that's shaping up to be a | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
wet day for just about all of us. The rain developing through the | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
night and it is still wet at the moment in southern counties. Watch | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
how the rain becomes more extensive and heavier with a strengthening | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
breeze. For northern England and Northern Ireland, a colder feel to | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
the night. In northern Scotland, there will be temperatures in | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
sheltered spots. A mild start for Monday. If you escape through the | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
morning commute dry, you will one of the few. Heavy bursts around. So | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
expect surface water and spray on faster routes if you are travelling | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
in by car. The winds are a feature in the south. After a dry start for | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
the early rises, for southern Scotland and | :07:05. | :07:05. |
