Hello there, thanks for joining us for news here in the East Mhdlands. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
It's being claimed that despite cutbacks, councils in our rdgion are | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
wasting public money. Local authorities have dismissed claims by | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
the Tax Payers Alliance as inaccurate or out of date. | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Campaigning in Leicester thhs morning. The cost of consultants is | :00:26. | :00:34. | |
a particular target, includhng ?35,000 on environmental | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
consultants, apparently with sensitive noses. The council | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
says smells from waste plant had to be checked. | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
There is nothing wrong with encouraging good environmental | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
behaviour and making sure the air is clean for the local residents but | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
you have to be sure you do not waste money and fritter it away. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
In Nottingham John supports the alliance which has a wide r`nge of | :00:53. | :01:05. | |
views but even John does not agree with all of the points on the | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
?4450 for a Christmas tree, the council says it was four ye`rs ago | :01:09. | :01:19. | |
and it was raising money for needy children as well. | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
Yes. It is expenditure which probably shouldn't be repeated too | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
often but I must admit personally I would not begrudge it, but there we | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
are. We are in a general ovdrall team effort because there are vast | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
amounts of expenditures and that is not a very good example. | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
The council said in the samd period and of far greater signific`nce they | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
carried out savings worth ?050 million. The group will continue | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
challenging public spending on tour around the country. | :01:52. | :02:01. | |
A row has broken out after ` council in the East Midlands was told it | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
broke EU rules by awarding ` contract to a local firm, instead of | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
inviting tenders from the rdst of the Europe. The contract to improve | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
Mansfield railway station w`s worth ?150,000. The district council will | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
now have to repay the costs. Speaking on today's Sunday Politics, | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
one of the region's new MEPs warned that other contracts may be breaking | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
You see the heavy hand of Etropean legislation which takes over from | :02:19. | :02:29. | |
what would perhaps be a comlon`sense approach if we were not unddr EU | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
law. It would be right to bd able to give contracts to local companies | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
but, of course, they broke the spirit of the agreement which was | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
basically that you have to open it up to competition. | :02:41. | :02:51. | |
Three of the East Midlands lost historic churches are to sh`re a | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
?500,000 restoration grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
St Peter's Church in the picturesque Leicestershire village of | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
Tilton`on`the`Hill is already having urgent work carried out on hts | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
spire. Now, thanks to a ?150,00 grant, more essential repairs on the | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
historic bell tower can be completed. St Peter's is ond of the | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
churches in the East Midlands which has been picked to share ?500,0 0 | :03:15. | :03:22. | |
from the Heritage Lottery Ftnd. All three churches have been chosen | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
because they have particular historical significance. Thd Grade | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
one listed church has been ` landmark for travellers for more | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
than 900 years. If we can raise ?3000 or ?4000 in | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
the year, that is an extraordinary amount of money. ?150,000, that is | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
virtually impossible for us. So this grant is just essential | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
It is essential, yes, to get the church back so it is standing and | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
part of the horizon for the next 100 years or so would be wonderful. | :03:52. | :04:01. | |
That's the news for tonight. Let's take a look at the we`ther. | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
Good evening to you. A largdly clear night ahead, I'm pleased to say | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
Temperatures will fall to a more comfortable level. | :04:09. | :04:17. | |
We don't want a muggy and close feel overnight. | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
A clear and dry night will `llow temperatures to drop to 11 or 1 | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
degrees. A bit cooler in thd countryside. A few showers `round | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
here and there for Monday morning, but much more in the way of dry and | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
bright weather as we make otr way through Monday daytime. Sunny spells | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
with temperatures up to 19 or 2 degrees. | :04:37. | :04:37. | |
The theme of sunshine and showers will continue this week. | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
The best sunshine in the morning, the worst rain in the afternoon | :04:41. | :04:49. | |
We're back in the morning whth our first bulletin at 6:25am. | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
From all of us on the late team have a good night. | :04:53. | :05:04. | |
Hello. We are going to carry the weekend weather into the first part | :05:05. | :05:13. | |
of the working week. A mix of sunny spells and showers, essentially | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
Overnight, a mix of clear spells and showers. Not that many showers | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
around, but when they turn up they could be on the heavy side. The | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
Bristol Channel, perhaps across western Scotland. Temperatures in | :05:28. | :05:28. | |
most towns and cities no | :05:29. | :05:30. |
