:03:34. > :03:38.We will have a final round-up of Olympic result in a few minutes.

:03:38. > :03:41.For nearly a decade, people living close to the M40 in Oxford to have

:03:41. > :03:44.been battling to get noise from the road reduced. Campaigners believe

:03:44. > :03:48.they have come up with an idea that could solve the problem and create

:03:48. > :03:56.green energy. The scheme would see noise barriers installed, complete

:03:56. > :04:00.with solar panels. Meet Tony. He has lived here for 30

:04:00. > :04:06.years. Like many, since the M40 was extended to Birmingham, he has

:04:06. > :04:13.suffered continual motorway noise day and night. The community

:04:13. > :04:18.suffers. People suffer. You can't open your windows at night. It

:04:18. > :04:25.makes sleeping more difficult. So you don't get any fresh air at

:04:25. > :04:29.night. Nearby, the Belfry Hotel and Spa, just one local business. It

:04:29. > :04:35.requires 1.3 million kilowatts of electricity to run it each year.

:04:35. > :04:39.Now, for the first time, there is an idea that could benefit both. It

:04:39. > :04:42.has been put forward by the M40 Chilterns environmental group and

:04:42. > :04:48.would see solar panel sound barriers replace existing fencing

:04:48. > :04:52.along this stretch of motorway between junctions 3 and 8. At well

:04:52. > :04:58.as cutting the noise from cars and lorries, the energy generated would

:04:58. > :05:01.be sent directly to local homes and businesses, with additional power

:05:01. > :05:06.leftover coming into the national grid. The barriers are already in

:05:06. > :05:10.use in Europe, including Germany and Italy. To make it viable, the

:05:10. > :05:16.scheme will be funded from three different sources - private

:05:16. > :05:23.investors, like banks, the Highways Agency, and the community may

:05:23. > :05:29.contribute. A we talked to the parish council about what these

:05:29. > :05:37.barriers might do and the immediate reaction was, "Hey, what a

:05:37. > :05:44.brilliant idea eggs,". Campaigners hope the project could be up and

:05:44. > :05:48.running by 2014. More tests are being carried out to
