:00:30. > :00:40.burst. We will take a look at how many jobs the widening of the A453
:00:41. > :00:45.has made. Turbines on a farmer's doorstep. It has been frustrating,
:00:46. > :00:54.really. Three years and we are not a lot forward. And tackling students

:01:04. > :01:07.Good evening and welcome to Thursday's programme. First `
:01:08. > :01:14.emergency repair work is continuing tonight after a major water pipe
:01:15. > :01:17.burst in Leicestershire. It's the second time in three weeks that a
:01:18. > :01:20.mains has burst. And, although there's been little disruption for
:01:21. > :01:24.customers, it's caused misery for thousands of motorists. Our reporter
:01:25. > :01:27.Helen Astle is at the scene in Hathern tonight. Helen, what's the
:01:28. > :01:34.latest? Good 0 Hathern tonight. Helen, what's the
:01:35. > :01:40.latest? Good evening. Work is being carried out here and it is set to
:01:41. > :01:45.continue through the night. You can see the floodlights are up and heavy
:01:46. > :01:49.machinery in place. You can see that part of the central reservation has
:01:50. > :01:55.been removed so workers can get to that damaged hype which burst at
:01:56. > :02:00.11:30pm last night. For the locals here it has been a day of
:02:01. > :02:07.difference, it has been unusually quiet. For commuters, it has been
:02:08. > :02:13.chaotic. Normally one of the busiest villages in Leicestershire became a
:02:14. > :02:19.cul`de`sac today. Millions of litres of water closed the A6, one of the
:02:20. > :02:22.main route into Loughborough. You may have noticed the temperature
:02:23. > :02:27.dropping to zero at night and then rising to nine degrees in the day.
:02:28. > :02:32.The water table has gone up and it has caused the ground to move. The
:02:33. > :02:39.pipe that has burst is an old mains, it is cast`iron so it does
:02:40. > :02:43.not take too kindly to the ground moving. One house has flooded and it
:02:44. > :02:50.has been misery for motorists. A gentleman came out and his house was
:02:51. > :02:58.under two feet of water then. It took an hour to take my daughter out
:02:59. > :03:04.this morning. It took my husband four times as long to get to work.
:03:05. > :03:14.Everyone has had to go through Shepshed. Everybody was over one
:03:15. > :03:19.hour late. Work has being carried out during the day. It is not the
:03:20. > :03:24.first time a major pipe has burst. Three weeks ago, a few miles down
:03:25. > :03:33.the road, on the A6 at Kegworth, another burst pipe. An unlucky
:03:34. > :03:41.coincidence or is the company not investing enough in ageing
:03:42. > :03:44.infrastructure? We have over 47,000 kilometres of clean water pipes in
:03:45. > :03:50.our network that we have to prioritise and assess. We spent ?1.3
:03:51. > :03:54.million a day on the network. There is some good news for motorists.
:03:55. > :04:01.Severn Trent Water are hoping to have this road partially reopen,
:04:02. > :04:06.down to one lane. That will be in time for rush`hour tomorrow. Work to
:04:07. > :04:10.get things back to normal is set to continue until next week. Helen,
:04:11. > :04:16.thank you. It looks cold out there tonight. Freezing. Still to come on

:04:37. > :04:39.for a year now. From the very start it was predicted that when it's
:04:40. > :04:42.completed the project would provide a huge boost to the region's
:04:43. > :04:45.economy. Today though, it's claimed that the process has already started
:04:46. > :04:50.` with the creation of hundreds of local jobs. Sarah Teale has been out
:04:51. > :05:00.to take a look at progress and joins us in the studio now. Sarah ` so a
:05:01. > :05:06.big economic bonus already? Well, indeed there is and figures have
:05:07. > :05:09.been released to us today to demonstrate just how much the road
:05:10. > :05:09.widening scheme is benefitting business here. 0
:05:10. > :05:17.widening scheme is benefitting business here. Just to recap: Work
:05:18. > :05:21.to widen the seven mile section of the A453 between the M1 junction 24
:05:22. > :05:24.in Leicestershire and the A52 in Nottinghamshire is costing a total
:05:25. > :05:28.of 150 million pounds. It's a lot of money but some of that cost is being
:05:29. > :05:32.pumped back into the East Midlands economy. So far a total of 409
:05:33. > :05:35.people have worked on the project and 60 per cent of those are from
:05:36. > :05:38.this region. In addition ?21.5 million of orders, for material and
:05:39. > :05:41.services, have been placed with sub`contractors based within 50
:05:42. > :05:44.miles of the A453. So benefits already being felt and that's just
:05:45. > :05:47.one year into the project. Today, the Transport Secretary Patrick
:05:48. > :06:02.McLoughlin visited the site to see for himself how it's going.
:06:03. > :06:08.Motorists have been waiting decades for this. The widening of the most
:06:09. > :06:15.heavily congested road in the region. The ?150 million scheme will
:06:16. > :06:19.create a dual carriageway along the seven mile section of the A453,
:06:20. > :06:24.allowing motorist a smooth and safer journey, and boosting the local
:06:25. > :06:29.economy in the process. The Transport Secretary toured the site
:06:30. > :06:35.today and heard first`hand how it is creating jobs and giving work to
:06:36. > :06:35.local businesses. It is good news for the 0
:06:36. > :06:39.local businesses. It is good news for the the East Midlands. It is
:06:40. > :06:45.part of our investment in infrastructure across the region. It
:06:46. > :06:51.is a ?150 million scheme with 400 people being employed within the
:06:52. > :07:01.locality so it is very important to create Nottingham `` to create a
:07:02. > :07:08.link between Nottingham and the M1. This man's firm has been recruited
:07:09. > :07:13.to clear vegetation along the route. This will enable us to increase our
:07:14. > :07:17.turnover twice. It means we have increased our staff levels by three
:07:18. > :07:24.and means we can go and buy bigger equipment. It has been brilliant for
:07:25. > :07:29.us and ultimately, it is what we need to give us access to the
:07:30. > :07:34.motorway and out of the city. Once the whole road is open, it is
:07:35. > :07:39.predicted to boost the economy by ?540 million. Well, for the 30,000
:07:40. > :07:42.motorists who use the A453 every day, there's more good news. Work is
:07:43. > :07:49.progressing well on schedule. And the whole project is due to be

:22:19. > :22:27.squad, but it was not meant to be. Now I have to stay apart of this
:22:28. > :22:31.squad. He has just returned from Australia when he saw the Ashes
:22:32. > :22:36.disaster first`hand, and caught up with the squad there. They are as
:22:37. > :22:41.positive as they can be. It was not the ideal result but now they are
:22:42. > :22:48.into another series so who knows? Hopefully, they can win that series.
:22:49. > :22:56.While England try to pride, Taylor hopes to aim his stake into future
:22:57. > :23:04.clubs. He hopes to gain a hugely successful season. It is an exciting
:23:05. > :23:07.time and to be asked to captain the side is a great honour. I am looking
:23:08. > :23:10.forward to it, it will be a great honour. Snooker and Leicester's Mark

:23:24. > :23:27.return after long injuries. And last night we told you about a public
:23:28. > :23:43.meeting in the town of Hinckley in Leicestershire. Non league fans are
:23:44. > :23:46.planning to build a new community football club after Hinckley United
:23:47. > :23:52.folded last year. Well they've now chosen the name, Hinckley AFC.
:23:53. > :23:57.Inspired! Now... How do you de`stress? Perhaps a nice country
:23:58. > :24:03.walk or even a deep tissue massage? Chocolate for me! It seems neither
:24:04. > :24:07.of those are good enough for some students in the East Midlands who
:24:08. > :24:09.are feeling the pressure of looming exams. Eleanor Garnier's been
:24:10. > :24:12.finding out the latest solution to tackling stress! You might not
:24:13. > :24:14.believe it but this is the University of Leicester. The student
:24:15. > :24:17.campus is, I 0 University of Leicester. The student
:24:18. > :24:24.campus is, I guess, somewhere to expect the unexpected, but a zoo?
:24:25. > :24:27.Students get stressed out during their exam time so we thought we
:24:28. > :24:29.would bring a farm to 0 their exam time so we thought we
:24:30. > :24:36.would bring a farm to campus. I think it is a great idea. More dogs
:24:37. > :24:42.and cats would be amazing! I am loving this chicken, it is adorable!
:24:43. > :24:46.My emotions are all over the place. I have had in weeks and weeks of
:24:47. > :24:51.work, no contact with the outside world, so this is brilliant, a good
:24:52. > :24:56.way of letting off steam and relaxing. A lot of people are having
:24:57. > :25:00.exams and are very nervous but a lot of people have animals at home so
:25:01. > :25:05.this is a good way to help you relax and let off steam, and calmed down
:25:06. > :25:11.from the exams. I am enjoying it and they are very soft, but other than
:25:12. > :25:11.that, I am still very stressed, I am not 0
:25:12. > :25:17.that, I am still very stressed, I am not going to lie to you! A duck, a
:25:18. > :25:22.sheep, a chicken and a pony. They have it all here. Perhaps this is
:25:23. > :25:32.the key to reducing stress in all our offices. I wondered why there
:25:33. > :25:42.was a small arc being loaded into the newsroom this evening! `` ark.
:25:43. > :25:49.Now for the weather. We did not fare too badly today. The showers arrived
:25:50. > :25:54.earlier and they are staying with us for some time, in fact, right
:25:55. > :25:58.through the weekend. Tomorrow will be bright spells and scattered
:25:59. > :26:07.showers. There will be some bright weather tomorrow, though. You can
:26:08. > :26:08.get out and about with your camera. Here is a 0
:26:09. > :26:10.get out and about with your camera. Here is a familiar sight,
:26:11. > :26:15.low`pressure sitting to the west of us and that will keep that unsettled
:26:16. > :26:18.at the moment. A south`westerly breeze is driving through the
:26:19. > :26:24.showers at the moment, and although they lose intensity over the next
:26:25. > :26:28.few hours, we do have a scattering of showers overnight. With the
:26:29. > :26:32.breeze, damages are holding up and we are looking at lows of six
:26:33. > :26:36.degrees. If you live in the Peak District, it may get down to one or
:26:37. > :26:42.two degrees, but it should stay frost free. Tomorrow we will have a
:26:43. > :26:47.scattering of showers with one or two bright spells in between. Those
:26:48. > :26:51.spells well fade away and there will be some bright weather tomorrow,
:26:52. > :26:56.although it will stay fairly cloudy with highs of eight degrees. Further
:26:57. > :27:02.ahead to the weekend, you can see the low`pressure sitting with us
:27:03. > :27:07.down to the West. Saturday starts off with this area of rain with us.
:27:08. > :27:10.Hopefully, it will pull away through the day so there should be dry
:27:11. > :27:15.weather as we go into the afternoon. Maybe just a few showers
:27:16. > :27:21.around. It stays unsettled and on sat day night, temperatures will
:27:22. > :27:28.drop and freezing fog is possible. Rain around on Sunday and widespread
:27:29. > :27:34.frost on Monday. Temperatures lower over the weekend with the unsettled
:27:35. > :27:42.theme of showers and rain. Never mind, it is the winter! I suppose
:27:43. > :27:46.so! We are back at PM or another date! Lucky boy! I will see you
:27:47. > :27:48.tomorrow. `` 10pm.
