:00:00. > :00:14.Hello, good evening from Points That's all from me and the team.

:00:15. > :00:18.Hello, good evening from Points West. The parents of a severely

:00:19. > :00:21.disabled man from Wiltshire say they're shocked after being told

:00:22. > :00:25.he'll no longer be entitled to free physiotherapy. John Morrison has

:00:26. > :00:31.quadriplegic static cerebral palsy and needs regular treatment to keep

:00:32. > :00:34.his muscles working. His parents have been offered training to carry

:00:35. > :00:41.out the physio themselves but don't feel confident about doing it

:00:42. > :00:45.properly. Steve Knibbs reports. John Morrison can't use his arms or

:00:46. > :00:47.legs so needs a grey deal of help. Without specialist neuro

:00:48. > :00:53.rehabilitation physiotherapy, he'd deteriorate rapidly. He has the

:00:54. > :00:57.treatment twice a week and was by the NHS when he was a student but

:00:58. > :01:08.now that John has moved back home, it's costing his parents over ?500 a

:01:09. > :01:16.month. It feels like you be means tested, almost, a way. The nature of

:01:17. > :01:19.the letter was, if you don't like what we are not offering, go and pay

:01:20. > :01:22.for it yourself. The Wiltshire clinical commissioning group won't

:01:23. > :01:25.pay for the treatment long term. Instead, they've offered to train

:01:26. > :01:32.his parents to give him the physiotherapy at home. We were told

:01:33. > :01:37.by the doctor and his physiotherapist in Wales not to

:01:38. > :01:42.stand John on our own because if we heard him, we could break his head,

:01:43. > :01:46.snap his thigh bone, do all sorts of damage. The funding problem isn't

:01:47. > :01:49.specific to Wiltshire. John is also facing a bill for thousands of

:01:50. > :01:52.pounds of treatment he received while living in Wales. It's an issue

:01:53. > :01:59.the Health Secretary recently said needs to be looked at. It is also a

:02:00. > :02:03.false economy not to invest because if we don't help to keep people

:02:04. > :02:08.healthy and happy while they are a home, they will end up in hospital,

:02:09. > :02:14.and that will cost us even more money. The group reiterated that it

:02:15. > :02:18.is their policy to provide 6`8 physiotherapy sessions in hospital

:02:19. > :02:22.before working with the patient and carer to provide the therapy

:02:23. > :02:26.themselves at home. They said should a patient's condition deteriorate,

:02:27. > :02:34.they encourage them to get reassessed.

:02:35. > :02:37.Avon and Somerset Police are continuing to trawl through CCTV

:02:38. > :02:41.footage after violence at the Bristol Rovers game at the weekend.

:02:42. > :02:45.Six people were arrested after the match, which saw Rovers relegated

:02:46. > :02:49.from the football league. Police horses were used after several

:02:50. > :02:53.hundred fans ran onto the pitch. Officers say they expect to make

:02:54. > :02:56.more arrests in the coming days. Thousands of people on the Somerset

:02:57. > :03:01.Levels have been enjoying a May Festival that aims to banish the

:03:02. > :03:03.winter and welcome the spring. After the devastating floods through

:03:04. > :03:06.January and February, today brought a much`needed break from the

:03:07. > :03:13.recovery work and a chance for people to celebrate the area's

:03:14. > :03:16.heritage. Here's Jules Hyam. The traditional May Festival parade,

:03:17. > :03:22.recorded in the now customary way but centered around the village

:03:23. > :03:27.maypole. Tradition is important here in Kingsbury Episcopi and they do it

:03:28. > :03:30.very well. This festival and these dances are about banishing winter,

:03:31. > :03:36.casting off the cloak of the colder months and welcoming the spring. It

:03:37. > :03:40.is about a change in seasons, but also about a change in fortunes, and

:03:41. > :03:44.around here, they would welcome a bit of that. All of us know lots of

:03:45. > :03:48.people who were affected by the flooding but, you know, people have

:03:49. > :03:51.bounced back. Well, I've actually seen loads of those people here

:03:52. > :03:55.today already, so it's really great. Spring's here, summer's coming. The

:03:56. > :03:58.May Lady is a symbol of that but she's not the only one dressed for

:03:59. > :04:03.the occasion, costumes and garlands very much the order of the day. I

:04:04. > :04:07.think one of the best things about Kingsbury May Fair is the fact that

:04:08. > :04:10.you've got this lovely village that, all of a sudden, gets descended on

:04:11. > :04:13.by everyone in Somerset and it's such a real, wonderful celebration

:04:14. > :04:17.of spring coming. And it feels like a real traditional West Country

:04:18. > :04:22.thing to do. Do you agree with your dad? Yes. It's the biggest Kingsbury

:04:23. > :04:26.May Festival yet, run entirely by volunteers and supported by a very

:04:27. > :04:32.large community who do know a bit about pulling together.

:04:33. > :04:35.And it's been another busy day on Bristol's harbour`side as the city's

:04:36. > :04:39.food festival enters its second week. Plenty of street food was on

:04:40. > :04:43.offer in the market in Millennium Square, where you could take your

:04:44. > :04:45.taste buds on a trip around the world. Events will continue

:04:46. > :04:51.throughout the week and the city until 11th May.

:04:52. > :04:54.Let's take a look at the weather as we start another week, and David

:04:55. > :04:59.Braine has the forecast for the West.

:05:00. > :05:04.Hello. Good evening. Rain setting in overnight tonight. It's quite a big

:05:05. > :05:08.change compared to what we've seen through the weekend and it sets us

:05:09. > :05:11.up for quite an unsettled week ahead. Showers, or if not longer

:05:12. > :05:14.spells of rain, and also quite breezy conditions, with temperatures

:05:15. > :05:17.of around 14 or 15. This line of cloud of rain will give us some wet

:05:18. > :05:21.weather overnight tonight. Moves through fairly fast, though, so

:05:22. > :05:24.after a dollop of rain, towards the morning, it's clearing, so most of

:05:25. > :05:28.us waking up to a bright and dry start. Morning temperatures of

:05:29. > :05:31.around ten or 11 degrees. And for tomorrow, at least for the morning,

:05:32. > :05:35.it's dry with sunny spells, then the showers get going in the afternoon

:05:36. > :05:39.and one or two of those could turn out to be quite heavy with a top

:05:40. > :05:42.temperature of around 14 or 15 degrees for most of us. Staying

:05:43. > :05:45.unsettled for the rest of this week with some more persistent rain on

:05:46. > :05:49.Thursday. Have a good night. And that's it for this bank holiday

:05:50. > :05:52.Monday. Don't forget Late Kick Off's on at 11:35pm here on BBC One,

:05:53. > :05:55.straight after Match of the Day. They'll be asking what's next for

:05:56. > :05:58.Bristol Rovers following their relegation out of the football

:05:59. > :06:00.league. We're back tomorrow morning in Breakfast, but from me and the

:06:01. > :06:12.team, goodnight. If you have enjoyed an entire

:06:13. > :06:16.weekend of fine weather it is highly likely next weekend you will not.

:06:17. > :06:20.The weather is changing, it is turning more unsettled. Breezy this

:06:21. > :06:24.week, especially in the West. Showers but not raining all the

:06:25. > :06:26.time. Occasionally it will be dry and bright. Rain has been touring

:06:27. > :06:33.with part of the UK through the weekend. Some heavy bursts pushing

:06:34. > :06:37.eastwards across the UK for the rest of the night. Some clear spells

:06:38. > :06:45.developing in the west later. Nowhere is particularly cold. The

:06:46. > :06:48.North East Scotland Scotland will push away, though it was still

:06:49. > :06:57.remain in Sheffield in the afternoon -- Shetland. Some of the overnight

:06:58. > :07:03.rain is lingering for a few more hours in the South. They could stay

:07:04. > :07:07.cloudy in coastal Sussex and Kent. Midlands, Wales and south-west

:07:08. > :07:09.England getting off to a fine, promising start. Then it is a case

:07:10. > :07:11.of waiting for the
