:01:17. > :01:19.Luckily, with it being the winter time, the days are short

:01:20. > :01:21.anyway, so they spend most of their time inside.

:01:30. > :01:33.It is to make sure they do not come into contact with wild birds

:02:25. > :02:30.It's hoped lottery funding could help turn an old tram depot

:03:05. > :03:21.Parts of Saint Mary 's Church date back to 1170. Now without changes to

:03:22. > :03:26.the way it looks, it needs updating. The major cost will be raising the

:03:27. > :03:31.level of the floor to make it more accessible and improve heating. A

:03:32. > :03:37.big donation has held. A local historian died and left us about 1

:03:38. > :03:42.million pounds and the project itself will be nearly 2 million so

:03:43. > :03:48.that's a good amount of money to take us towards the total, but the

:03:49. > :03:51.rest will have to be raised from the local community, charities and

:03:52. > :03:56.people who want to give to do something to a building which means

:03:57. > :04:02.so much. A window that is clear glass at the moment will this design

:04:03. > :04:10.to number the man who gave the donation. The organ will also be

:04:11. > :04:17.updated. The main project to raise the floor will be carried out very

:04:18. > :04:23.carefully. Setting stones are Ledger stones which are dedicated to

:04:24. > :04:26.different people who have died in the past, but we have to settle

:04:27. > :04:32.those back into the floor approximately where they are at the

:04:33. > :04:39.moment. During most of 2017, people will worship at council offices but

:04:40. > :04:46.they will look forward to returning. A member of our congregation said

:04:47. > :04:50.our opening him should be nearer my God to the. They should be back at

:04:51. > :04:52.Saint Mary 's in time for next Christmas.

:04:53. > :04:55.Finally, four tiny kittens are looking for a new home

:04:56. > :04:57.after being rescued from a building site.

:04:58. > :04:59.The one-month-old cats were discovered at the site

:05:00. > :05:02.in Nottingham just moments before diggers moved in and are now

:05:03. > :05:05.being looked after by staff at the RSPCA in Derby.

:05:06. > :05:08.They've re-homed hundreds of animals this year,

:05:09. > :05:18.People have one cat, the cat becomes pregnant,

:05:19. > :05:21.one cat becomes four, five, six cats and people realise

:05:22. > :05:23.the financial cost overall looking after them is quite

:05:24. > :05:28.It stops any unwanted breeding, it also has health

:05:29. > :05:34.It's icy and cold outside, so let's get the weather forecast

:05:35. > :05:41.for the rest of tonight and tomorrow with Lucy.

:05:42. > :05:49.One or two mist or fog patches to look out for tonight. More in the

:05:50. > :05:53.way of low cloud and yesterday and temperatures close to freezing in

:05:54. > :05:59.towns and cities. You could see a patchy frost to start tomorrow,

:06:00. > :06:05.watch out for some ice but that mist and fog will lift quickly. Tomorrow

:06:06. > :06:10.looking like a cloudy day, temperatures reaching a maximum of

:06:11. > :06:15.eight Celsius with a light south-westerly breeze. Saturday, a

:06:24. > :06:25.bulletins from 6am. But for now, from all of us

:06:26. > :06:44.on the late team, goodnight. Hello. Fold and frost has been a

:06:45. > :06:47.feature of the weather in recent mornings in England and Wales,

:06:48. > :06:52.producing a wintry scene with Frost in Oxfordshire this morning. In

:06:53. > :06:57.Highland Scotland, a completely different story. Thank you to our
