:07:44. > :07:47.an hour speed limits across Jersey have divided opinion

:07:48. > :07:48.in the islands country parishes The proposal is part of widdr plan

:07:49. > :07:51.to cut vehicle speeds. How can you get

:07:52. > :07:59.drivers to slow down? The Constable of St Martin believes

:08:00. > :08:02.the answer is 20 mile an hotr zones in key places,

:08:03. > :08:05.such as this stretch of road where drivers have been

:08:06. > :08:07.clocked doing more than This is the heart of the parish

:08:08. > :08:11.we've got a public hall used by organisations young and old,

:08:12. > :08:13.a school, recycling bays, so many people use this section

:08:14. > :08:16.of road outside the main hub of the parish, certainly it must be

:08:17. > :08:22.the one to look at first. And that includes customers

:08:23. > :08:27.of this tea room. Would they welcome

:08:28. > :08:29.a 20-mile limit here? Near a school and were

:08:30. > :08:40.old people cross, yes. Traffic calming measures along this

:08:41. > :08:43.twenty mile zone were Angelo works at the pub

:08:44. > :08:46.here and lives above it - For me, I don't see any difference,

:08:47. > :08:50.I still see people passing between 25, 30 miles, more or less

:08:51. > :08:53.what was the speed before. If they had some police checks

:08:54. > :08:56.more often it would make So could more enforcements rather

:08:57. > :09:21.than lower limits be the secret Now for the weather. Good evening.

:09:22. > :09:27.We have had some lovely sun rises over the last couple of days this

:09:28. > :09:32.morning across Guernsey. Sole beautiful blue sky. It has not

:09:33. > :09:36.stayed that way. There is more cloud around through the night to come.

:09:37. > :09:41.Problems with mist and fog first thing. It will become slowlx

:09:42. > :09:45.brighter. It may take time before we lose the low cloud and we gdt some

:09:46. > :09:49.sunshine breaking through the misty nurse. There is a weather front to

:09:50. > :09:54.the north-west which never really gets to the Channel Islands. It sits

:09:55. > :09:59.across the more central parts of Britain through the day tomorrow. A

:10:00. > :10:04.lot of cloud associated with that. Quite strong winds. We keep this

:10:05. > :10:08.area of high pressure. It is with us not just tomorrow but Thursday and

:10:09. > :10:13.Friday it is still there. Bdcoming stronger by the Tommy get to Friday.

:10:14. > :10:18.Problems with overnight mist and fog. Tonight we will see sole clear

:10:19. > :10:23.skies. Late in the night it would turn misty. Low cloud appearing as

:10:24. > :10:31.well. The risk of fog patchds and temperatures dipping. We're expected

:10:32. > :10:34.to see that lift but it may take a while before we break through the

:10:35. > :10:38.low cloud. Once it does go we should get some sunny spells and vdry light

:10:39. > :10:41.winds. Top temperature 15. The forecast as we go through the rest

:10:42. > :10:47.of the week is similar. Thursday morning the same problem with mist

:10:48. > :10:51.and fog. Temperatures getting up to 14, 15. Quite a lot of cloud around

:10:52. > :10:55.the cloud will break up but it won't be too early afternoon before the

:10:56. > :10:59.happen. Then the area of high pressure moves right over us on

:11:00. > :11:01.Friday and Saturday. That is more straightforward. Misty to start then

:11:02. > :11:01.sunny settled and on the mild side. Nick

:11:02. > :11:11.now has all the national weather. Hello. Autumn is the season of

:11:12. > :11:15.change, most noticeably with those autumn colours on display today in

:11:16. > :11:18.Buckinghamshire, as photographed by one of our weather watchers. Always

:11:19. > :11:21.helps when there is blue sky above. Our weather is always changing

:11:22. > :11:24.regardless of the season. One of those changes is taking place, we

:11:25. > :11:29.are losing last week's Easterly winds and now a westerly wind. That

:11:30. > :11:33.means it's turning milder by day and night but it does mean the return of

:11:34. > :11:38.Atlantic weather fronts, especially to north-western parts of the UK.

:11:39. > :11:42.The reason, high pressure in Germany and low pressure Iceland. Here is

:11:43. > :11:46.the first of those weather fronts for Scotland and Northern Ireland

:11:47. > :11:48.through the night, the first part of tomorrow. There isn't a
