:00:00. > :00:00.That's it for now. Our next bulletin on BBC One will be at the
:00:00. > :00:15.earlier-than-usual time of 4.25pm this
:00:16. > :00:20.Good afternoon, I'm Simon W`rd. The last Nottingham`based Royal
:00:21. > :00:24.Artillery Battery has marchdd for the final time today. The 60 strong
:00:25. > :00:29.307 Battery is being disbanded as part of the re`organisation of the
:00:30. > :00:32.Army Reserve. It means the South Notts Hussars are merging whth the
:00:33. > :00:35.Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry. They marched through Old Market Square,
:00:36. > :00:47.exercising their right to the Freedom of the City for the last
:00:48. > :00:51.time. As reserve if, we all live and work around Nottingham, so we are
:00:52. > :00:55.local in that sense and for the city to recognise us in this way and to
:00:56. > :01:03.see so many people on a chilly Saturday morning, it is such a
:01:04. > :01:07.compliment. Not just to ask, but to our history and the service that has
:01:08. > :01:10.been given. Hospital managers have denidd that
:01:11. > :01:12.increased parking charges whll make congestion worse. People living near
:01:13. > :01:15.the Royal Derby Hospital have complained their streets ard already
:01:16. > :01:19.used by staff and patients. They fear more motorists will now try to
:01:20. > :01:23.avoid car park charges. Frol April the price for an hour at thd
:01:24. > :01:26.hospital will go up by 20 pdnce to ?2. The hospital says it hopes more
:01:27. > :01:28.people will use public transport instead.
:01:29. > :01:31.Campaigners have welcomed a decision which means nine wind turbines will
:01:32. > :01:35.not be built near a Leicestdrshire town. Peel Energy had applidd to
:01:36. > :01:40.build a wind farm on the old Asfordby mine site. Melton Borough
:01:41. > :01:43.Council refused and it was taken to appeal. The Secretary of St`te
:01:44. > :01:46.supported objections based on how the wind farm would affect historic
:01:47. > :02:01.buildings, the landscape and its nearest residents. People lhving in
:02:02. > :02:08.Nottingham might be able to choose the council as their supplidr. The
:02:09. > :02:13.local council already uses `n incinerator to provide power to
:02:14. > :02:18.civic buildings. An expanded service could help to lower household bills.
:02:19. > :02:22.An 18 foot high church cross is being taken on foot in what's
:02:23. > :02:26.expected to be a ten hour journey. The Blue Cross from the Quedns Hall
:02:27. > :02:29.Church in Derby is being taken to another church in Burton. It's
:02:30. > :02:32.because the church building in Derby is being redeveloped for other uses.
:02:33. > :02:35.Today's event saw the cross being taken around Derby before ldaving
:02:36. > :02:37.the city for the last time. Plenty of football today, even
:02:38. > :02:39.though Championship leaders Leicester aren't playing.
:02:40. > :02:42.Derby County are also chasing automatic promotion and havd
:02:43. > :02:44.Millwall at home this afternoon Nottingham Forest are off to
:02:45. > :02:47.Barnsley, with manager Billx Davies on the first game of his five`match
:02:48. > :02:51.touchline ban. In League One, Notts County will try
:02:52. > :02:54.to get off the bottom of thd table at home to Leyton Orient.
:02:55. > :02:57.And in League Two, Newport `re the visitors to Mansfield Town.
:02:58. > :03:07.Now, let's take a look at the East Midlands weather with Sara.
:03:08. > :03:13.After such a long wait for the crowd to thin, it is starting to do that
:03:14. > :03:21.and we will see a fine afternoon. It will be quite mild, even though we
:03:22. > :03:33.have a brisk southerly wind. A maximum this afternoon of 14 or 15
