:00:20. > :00:22.Good evening from Points West. The wife of a cyclist from Somerset who
:00:23. > :00:26.was killed after hitting a pothole is suing the council which failed to
:00:27. > :00:28.repair it. Kate Uzzell has criticised North Yorkshire County
:00:29. > :00:32.Council for allowing the ro`d to fall into such a poor condition It
:00:33. > :00:35.comes as over ?100 million of extra government cash is being made
:00:36. > :00:44.available for repairs. Madeleine Ware reports.
:00:45. > :00:46.Martin was my soul mate, we did lots and lots of things together.
:00:47. > :00:50.Reliving happier times. Kate Uzzell's husband, Martxn, was
:00:51. > :00:54.killed over two and a half xears ago. He was taking part in ` charity
:00:55. > :00:58.cycle ride from Land's End to John O'Groats when he hit a pothole 0cm
:00:59. > :01:04.deep on the A65 in North Yorkshire. He was thrown into the path of a car
:01:05. > :01:08.and died instantly. At an inquest into his death this week, the
:01:09. > :01:11.coroner said there was no doubt that the condition of the road w`s the
:01:12. > :01:15.cause of the accident. The inquest was also told a police
:01:16. > :01:19.officer had reported the pothole to North Yorkshire County Council a
:01:20. > :01:27.month earlier. I'm very angry. It was totally
:01:28. > :01:32.preventable. You know, they had been warned, they had inspected, and they
:01:33. > :01:36.still did nothing. It's just appalling. The County Counchl has
:01:37. > :01:45.expressed its sympathies to Kate and says it will consider the coroner's
:01:46. > :01:49.comments very carefully. We do spend about ?20 million every
:01:50. > :01:56.year on road maintenance. Wd have just put an extra ?5 million in out
:01:57. > :01:58.of the capital surpluses we have generated on the budgets for recent
:01:59. > :02:01.years. Kate, from Clevedon, is now taking
:02:02. > :02:04.legal action against the Cotncil. And she is launching a more
:02:05. > :02:10.widespread education campaign. I want car drivers to be more aware
:02:11. > :02:14.of the vulnerability of cyclists. I want councils to keep the roads in
:02:15. > :02:17.repair and take reports of potholes seriously.
:02:18. > :02:18.It's a campaign she hopes whll bring something positive from Martyn's
:02:19. > :02:28.death. A fire which damaged a live music
:02:29. > :02:34.venue in Bath was caused by an electrical fault. Crews werd called
:02:35. > :02:37.to Moles nightclub and recording studios on George Street yesterday
:02:38. > :02:41.morning. The fire was contahned to the ground floor. It is not yet
:02:42. > :02:44.clear when it may re`open. The railway line between Tatnton and
:02:45. > :02:47.Bristol Temple Meads is due to re`open this morning. First Great
:02:48. > :02:50.Western says that there will be a reduced service to begin with
:02:51. > :02:53.because of the damage caused by flooding at Bridgwater. Thex're also
:02:54. > :03:00.warning passengers that journeys may take longer than normal.
:03:01. > :03:04.Rugby, and Bath have missed out on a place in the final of the LV Cup
:03:05. > :03:07.after being beaten in the semi`finals by Exeter Chiefs. The
:03:08. > :03:10.hosts led 13`8 at the break thanks to Leroy Houston's try and three
:03:11. > :03:18.successful kicks from Tom Hdathcote but Exeter hit back with two tries
:03:19. > :03:23.in the second half. You know, to play particularly well
:03:24. > :03:27.in patches and to lose by three points with a kick at the end to
:03:28. > :03:34.maybe force extra time is rdally disappointing. I think we whll look
:03:35. > :03:40.back on this and regret the chance to get finals. `` get to thd finals.
:03:41. > :03:44.Meanwhile, Bristol ran in sdven tries as they beat Cornish Pirates
:03:45. > :03:48.46`33 at home. Forward Marco Mama scored four tries for the home side.
:03:49. > :03:50.The result means Bristol relain top of the Championship.
:03:51. > :03:52.Just ahead of the weather, ht is congratulations to our Somerset
:03:53. > :03:55.correspondent, Clinton Rogers, and cameraman Steve Powell, who have won
:03:56. > :03:59.a Royal Television Society `ward tonight. It was for their coverage
:04:00. > :04:03.here on Points West of the trial of Jim McCormick, who sold fakd bomb
:04:04. > :04:09.detectors. Well done to thel. Let's get the latest weather
:04:10. > :04:13.prospects now with Emily Wood. Hello, it looks like we will
:04:14. > :04:17.continue with largely dry and settled weather for the week ahead.
:04:18. > :04:20.We will see Clyde at times through the weaker head and tonight
:04:21. > :04:24.increasing amounts of cloud moving in for the first thing tomorrow
:04:25. > :04:28.morning. This cloud possiblx bringing a spot or two of r`in, with
:04:29. > :04:33.the risk of hill fog, but a frost free night, temperatures no lower
:04:34. > :04:42.than four Celsius. Tomorrow which largely dry, `` looks largely dry,
:04:43. > :04:46.temperatures quite mild up to 1 Celsius, possibly not quite feeling
:04:47. > :04:49.so warm as we will have mord cloud through the day. On Tuesday at looks
:04:50. > :04:53.rather cloudy through the d`y, better chance of sunshine probably
:04:54. > :04:56.on Wednesday, particularly on Thursday. Still my own throtgh the
:04:57. > :04:59.day but colder overnight in the middle of the week. We're b`ck from
:05:00. > :05:11.6am tomorrow, good night. It is early in the year to hit 0
:05:12. > :05:18.Celsius. Don't get used to it just yet, but some spots in south-east of
:05:19. > :05:21.England got there. Gravesend the top spot, but with cloud in Scotland and
:05:22. > :05:26.Northern Ireland, the temperatures were held down and a wet end to the
:05:27. > :05:32.day courtesy of this weather front. The rain here dying a way. The cloud
:05:33. > :05:36.here straggling England and Wales, holding the temperatures up. Behind
:05:37. > :05:40.the front in Scotland and Northern Ireland, the clearing skies, the
:05:41. > :05:44.temperatures dropping. A touch of frost and ice over the high ground
:05:45. > :05:49.in Scotland. A hazard in the morning. Showers in the far north of
:05:50. > :05:52.Scotland, but tomorrow a reversal of fortunes. The north of northern
:05:53. > :05:56.England, Scotland and Northern Ireland cloudy today, will be
:05:57. > :06:00.brighter. Maybe a shower in Scotland, but mostly staying dry and
