With your news now for the Dast Midlands, I'm Maurice Flynn.

:00:00.:00:20.

Thousands of people took to the streets this weekend

:00:21.:00:22.

in protest to changes to two of the region's hospitals.

:00:23.:00:25.

In Grantham, it was against the closure of the town's A unit,

:00:26.:00:28.

while in Leicester, campaigners hoped to convince NHS England

:00:29.:00:30.

to abandon plans to close Glenfield's heart unit.

:00:31.:00:32.

Two different protests, but both fighting to protect local hospitals.

:00:33.:00:38.

In Grantham, 2,000 people m`rched through the town after

:00:39.:00:43.

United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust said overnight closures of the A

:00:44.:00:45.

We're not as young as we were and things happen more to elderly

:00:46.:00:51.

people so we are more conschous of the fact that the nearest places

:00:52.:00:57.

are Lincoln or Nottingham and they are very difficult

:00:58.:00:59.

Each time as a family we've used the hospital it's

:01:00.:01:02.

You don't have a heart attack at ten o'clock

:01:03.:01:05.

You've got to support it, we don't want to lose it at all

:01:06.:01:11.

The trust says the closures are being done as a way

:01:12.:01:13.

Down the road in Leicester, around 500 people took part

:01:14.:01:17.

in a rally to protect Glenfheld children's heart unit.

:01:18.:01:21.

People here say they won't stop until it's been saved.

:01:22.:01:24.

It's vital that we save this service because otherwise lives

:01:25.:01:29.

We are the only service providing this kind of care in our region

:01:30.:01:37.

so if we lose the service, we'll be the only region in the country

:01:38.:01:41.

NHS bosses say no final dechsion will be made until next sumler.

:01:42.:01:48.

The campaigners claim that its future should

:01:49.:01:49.

Anyone could find themselves in a situation where their own

:01:50.:01:56.

children or their friends' or relatives' children have a heart

:01:57.:01:59.

defect and they will need Glenfield Hospital.

:02:00.:02:04.

People from all over the East Midlands go there `nd it

:02:05.:02:06.

A 23-year-old man has been `rrested on suspicion of causing death

:02:07.:02:14.

by dangerous driving after ` fatal crash early this morning.

:02:15.:02:19.

It happened on the A612 near Thurgarton in Nottingh`mshire

:02:20.:02:22.

at 12.30am, before the clocks went back.

:02:23.:02:25.

Police say a 23-year-old woman died at the scene.

:02:26.:02:27.

Accident investigators are appealing for witnesses.

:02:28.:02:31.

Three people have been arrested after a man's body

:02:32.:02:33.

Emergency services were called to the car park

:02:34.:02:37.

of an industrial unit off Charter Street yesterday morning.

:02:38.:02:40.

Police say the death is being treated as suspicious.

:02:41.:02:45.

The men, aged 33, 55 and 44, have been arrested on suspicion of murder

One of Nottingham's biggest music festivals was shut down last night

:02:49.:02:52.

The Detonate festival at Nottingham Racecourse was closed

:02:53.:02:55.

Nottinghamshire Police were called in to assist as organisers `nnounced

:02:56.:03:00.

there were health and safetx concerns with one of the tents.

:03:01.:03:02.

Revellers spoke of their frtstration at the huge crowds and long queues.

:03:03.:03:08.

Queueing to get into any tent was just a nightmare.

:03:09.:03:11.

You couldn't see any acts because you had to queue

:03:12.:03:14.

for 50 minutes to an hour, or even longer than that.

:03:15.:03:17.

Once you were in the venue, it was just packed.

:03:18.:03:21.

In the tent, you couldn't rdally move, it was quite scary.

:03:22.:03:25.

I'm not surprised it got shtt down, because of the amount

:03:26.:03:27.

The largest affordable eco-housing scheme in the UK

:03:28.:03:32.

:03:52.:03:56.

the environment and, with reduced bills, residents, too.

:03:57.:04:02.

It's really warm at night, it's hot in the day.

From ?80 down to ?60 a month for gas and electric so that's

allotment site for ?1 to Saffron Lane Neighbourhood

:04:20.:04:22.

Council, a charity set up to benefit local people.

:04:23.:04:26.

The development is a partnership project to provide affordable homes.

:04:27.:04:30.

They're owned and managed by East Midlands Housing Group.

:04:31.:04:33.

Having looked at what we st`rted with and what we've got herd,

:04:34.:04:36.

It is a flagship scheme in Leicester, it's the first

:04:37.:04:43.

of its kind and one of the largest affordable Passivhaus
