First tonight, shops in Derby are closing at a faster rate | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
than anywhere else in the East Midlands. | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
Research by analysts PwC shows that while some new retail businesses | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
are opening in the city - that's outweighed by | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Shop fronts in a city with nothing to sell inside. | :00:29. | :00:37. | |
This is a growing picture of Derby's High Street. | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Research by the professional advisory group PwC shows shops | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
are closing at a faster rate here than anywhere else | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
I don't think Derby has a huge range of shops. | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
If people want to spend a little bit more on clothes and want | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
a designer item, there isn't really anywhere in Derby. | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
What we try and do is to provide fresh food and good quality | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
We are managing, but it is difficult. | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
In the first half of this year, Derby saw 11 shops | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
That is the highest net reduction in the whole of the East Midlands. | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
But the type of shops here is also changing. | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
Gone are the pubs and expensive clothing stores, as they're | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
replaced by estate agents and fast food restaurants. | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
Towns centres like Belper, Leicester and Melton Mowbray have | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
But with online shopping still as popular as ever, | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
We should remember that Derby has done very well in these | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
surveys in the past, largely on the back | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
But, of course, it is competition, really, Leicester and Nottingham. | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
Leicester has performed particularly well, probably on the halo effect | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
from the football team and Richard III. | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
So, it seems shop owners in Derby have an uphill battle on their hands | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
as they fight to stay afloat on their local High Street. | :01:58. | :02:06. | |
Next, cases of fly-tipping in one part of Leicestershire | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
have more than doubled in the last three years. | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
Now the Country Land and Business Association is calling | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
for stiffer penalties to be introduced, including prison. | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
Victoria Hicks spent the day with Harborough District | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
Three days of illegally dumped rubbish collected in Harborough. | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
Today it was temporarily tipped onto Welland Park in the town | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
to show how big a problem fly-tipping has become. | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
We are getting reports that fly-tipping over the last two | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
or three years is just increasing and we really want to tackle it. | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
We want to raise awareness about what local residents can do. | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
We also want to send a message to those who do | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
fly-tip that it is a crime, it is illegal, and we | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
Already the issue there have been 300 cases of fly-tipping | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
The District Council does not believe the introduction of tip | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
We've discovered that the fly-tip that we do pick up, the vast | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
So that when people have their mattresses or settees, | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
Don't just dump them on the roadside where it is a spoil | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
But people are dumping their rubbish. | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
A mile and a half down this country picturesque country lane | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
All of this can be disposed of at a local household waste site. | :03:31. | :03:43. | |
There are the items that we deal with day-in and day-out. | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
This costs us time and money and it is an eyesore. | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
The Country Land and Business Association says that local | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
authorities need to prosecute more offenders and the fines | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
When they actually do the fly-tipping fines, | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
they are under ?1,000 and it is costing our members | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
and people who own land more money to clear up the fly-tipping | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
This load was dumped last night at the side of the road. | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
The council is urging people to report any | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
Police in Derby have released CCTV footage of the moment | :04:15. | :04:26. | |
a pedestrian was struck by a car in an apparent hit-and-run incident. | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
They say the 47-year-old man was crossing Boyer Street | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
in the city on the evening of 23rd September, when a black car | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
He suffered a fractured shoulder and facial injuries. | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
Officers are appealing for witnesses. | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
More than 1,000 people travelled to Westminster from Nottingham today | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
It was called Nottingham in Parliament Day . | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
Business leaders, sports people and school children went to London | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
Here's our Political Editor, Tony Roe. | :04:57. | :05:10. | |
The news at Westminster today was dominated by the expansion of | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
Heathrow Airport, but also creating a buzz was the city of Nottingham | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
and Nottinghamshire as a county. It and Nottinghamshire as a county. It | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
is all down to the University of Nottingham staging the state | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
dredging courage investment. They had 45 different events. There is | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
normally one of them each time a constituency stage is something. | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
This was 45 events over nine hours. Simon Ward has been getting the | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
feeling of what has been going on. He is trying to persuade the rich | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
to invest in Nottinghamshire. The University of Nottingham led | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
many events in and around Robin Hood helped remind people | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
about his city and county. Robin Hood always stood up | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
for the people of Nottingham. But today, we've got an entire train | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
load of people who are here saying, We've got past, | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
we've a great future. Children from Bluebell Hill School | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
in Nottingham helped Conservative and Labour to battle each other, | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
but with common cause. 45 different events from Nottingham | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
down to Parliament, plus some fresh ideas too, to make sure that nobody | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
in the whole of Westminster and the Government can be an unaware | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
of how great Nottingham We need to sell ourselves | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
to the country make sure people are aware of our sporting heritage, | :06:23. | :06:31. | |
our great universities. It's a good place to do business | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
and a great place to visit The new man taking the job | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
of marketing says they are not worried about the sporting success | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
and historical interest In bringing the story of Nottingham | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
to Parliament, to the corridors of power, it's quite | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
a momentous occasion. The reaction we've had today | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
from various invitees and attendees Could you tell me some of the | :06:53. | :07:05. | |
serious discussions that have gone on today, will they make a | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
difference? I think they will. We had a forum this morning based on | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
the 'Midlands Engine', which is a new initiative to try to drive | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
economic growth in the Midlands. The Midlands is the second-biggest | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
region outside London and the south-east in the UK. Bigger than | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
the northern powerhouse, twice the size of Scotland. We are the second | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
biggest city in the 'Midlands Engine'. We need to help to power | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
about. -- power that. Nottingham's preparing to welcome | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
Prince Harry tomorrow. It will be his third official | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
Royal visit to the city The Prince set up an inner-city | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
youth project that is tackling gang violence in St Ann s, | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
and tomorrow he's going back there. Our Social Affairs correspondent | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
Jeremy Ball has been finding out how From dancing and from | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
rapping to acting. These young performers are all part | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
of Prince Harry's It was set up after the Prince | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
made his first visit Since then he has made a number | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
of private trips back. He has taken such a close | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
interest that he knows With diverting these | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
children from certain paths Obviously there's the risk | :08:18. | :08:39. | |
of gangs, violence, drugs. I can literally see | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
myself in these children. So this allows me to work | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
using my interests and life experiences and pass | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
that on to someone else. So we're creating these activities, | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
music, sports or drama. For those who engage in that, | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
put their effort and talent in that # You came on a journey | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
from a foreign land. At the studio, they're preparing | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
to demonstrate those talents when Prince Harry | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
comes back tomorrow. Most likely show him bits | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
of musical compositions. I've got together and showcasing | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
some of my emceeing. It's someone from the Royal family | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
coming to invest in communities It's like it's not just big for me, | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
it's big for Nottingham as a whole. Prince Harry is also going to see | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
rehearsals for what they're This musical being performed | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
in Nottingham next month with a gritty message designed | :09:26. | :09:33. | |
to give Saint Ann's a better future. So, it's goodbye from me, but | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
with your weather now here's Kaye. Not too bad tomorrow. We will see | :09:41. | :09:54. | |
some sunshine again. We have had to more weather over the last couple of | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
days with misty and murky mornings. Eventually we did get to see some | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
lovely sunshine. It has been a bit on the chilly side, thanks to you | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
straight winds. We are finally ditching blows cold easterly winds, | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
replacing them with mild south-westerly winds. Over the next | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
few days will be largely dry. We have seen the cloud increasing again | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
through the latter part of the afternoon and into the evening. We | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
will keep that for most of the night. Some mist and fog will reform | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
during the night, mainly in the South. The main change tonight | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
disciple feel, not as cold as last night. It will stay at 910 degrees | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
in the town centres, seven or 8 degrees in rural spots. Quite a | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
murky start again tomorrow. The wimple picked up through tomorrow, | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
breaking up the cloud and clearing the mist. We will get some sunshine | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
later on in the day. It will be a milder day with the maximum | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
temperature of 14 or 15 Celsius. Here is the | :11:01. | :11:00. | |
settled and on the mild side. Nick now has all the national weather. | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
Hello. Autumn is the season of change, most noticeably with those | :11:06. | :11:13. | |
autumn colours on display today in Buckinghamshire, as photographed by | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
one of our weather watchers. Always helps when there is blue sky above. | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
Our weather is always changing regardless of the season. One of | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
those changes is taking place, we are losing last week's Easterly | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
winds and now a westerly wind. That means it's turning milder by day and | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
night but it does mean the return of Atlantic weather fronts, especially | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
to north-western parts of the UK. The reason, high pressure in Germany | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
and low pressure Iceland. Here is the first of those weather fronts | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
for Scotland and Northern Ireland through the night, the first part of | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
tomorrow. There isn't a huge amount of rain associated with this. Could | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
see rain over the hills of northern England and Wales as the night goes | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
on. The odd shower clipping Sussex and Kent. A lot of dry weather for | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
England and Wales. It's mild here, it's milder across the northern half | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
of Britain compared with last night. But the further south you | :12:02. | :12:02. |
