With your news now for the East Midlands, I'm Maurice Flynn. | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
People living in a Nottingham retirement complex say they've been | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
effectively stuck in their homes since Christmas Eve. | :00:22. | :00:22. | |
It's after a vital lift was damaged, leaving those on the upper | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Imagine feeling trapped in your home, unable to do the shopping or | :00:26. | :00:40. | |
visit your friends. That is the reality, save those living here. | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
They say they've been stuck in their flats since the lift broke down a | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
week ago. The only way out, two flights of stairs. I can't walk very | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
far because I've got a condition and I cannot get my breath to go far. | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
It's just ridiculous. We were supposed to be going to my son's for | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
New Year. When you walked down the corridor and walk back, and walk | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
back, you know, apart from that, that's all I can do. The company | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
behind the building say lift contractors trying to find a number | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
of specialist parts. They say the lift has never broken before and | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
they are visiting residents. Residents tell us the lift her | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
broken multiple times. Since we have got involved, chairs have appeared | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
on the stair wells. People living here have access to a 24-hour | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
helpline and staff say they've made daily calls offering help. Some say | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
the broken left has stopped them living independently. How do I get | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
my washing backs -- downstairs and back? My daughter has to do that. | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
She's got to come up and fetch me. It has ruined my life. There is no | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
idea when the lift will be repaired. People from across the region | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
have been recognised As we reported last night, | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
the highest accolade - Companion of Honour - | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
goes to Leicester DNA Adam Peaty and Emma Wiggs are among | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
Olympians and Paralympains to receive MBEs, same | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
for Lianne Tapson who raised funds It was a project which took seven | :02:13. | :02:30. | |
years of effort, tears, love and our membership has tripled. It's a great | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
success story. But it's not just me. A Leicestershire sculptor's carving | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
out a name for himself. Several of Graeme Mitcheson's public | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
works have already received national recognition - | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
he hopes his latest will brighten-up Creating a sculpture carved out of | :02:41. | :02:54. | |
14 tonnes of sandstone. A commission for a new housing estate in a local | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
time. It was inspired by the wild flowers in the meadow. This piece is | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
a floral explosion. It says, look at me. You will see this from the road | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
as you drive past towards Loughborough. It will catch or high | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
and hopefully cheer everybody else. Graham's work recently gained royal | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
recognition. His memorial pays tribute to the MM who underwent | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
pioneering surgery after being badly burnt in World War II. As Naval | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
service Memorial, also at the National Memorial Arboretum, has | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
recently been short listed for an award. It's a special. I spend a lot | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
of time on my own, working away at big lumps of rock. Eventually, it | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
goes out there and people have an opinion. To get short listed was | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
special. This latest sculpture is due to be still installed in | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
January, weather permitting. Today's football, saw Leicester City | :03:50. | :03:50. | |
beat West Ham 1-0, a win that may It was a goalless draw | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
for Derby with Wigan, while Forest lost last night | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
3-1 at Newcastle. Mansfield drew 1-1 with | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
Doncaster, and Notts County Let's check the weather | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
now, with Alex. Good evening. If you are out | :04:02. | :04:12. | |
celebrating tonight, particularly in the north, I would take your wet | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
weather gear with you because we have a cold front drifting | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
southwards, bringing rain with it overnight. As we look at the charts, | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
we can see lots of cloud to begin with. An odd shower. In the early | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
hours, the rain starts to come down from the north. A few wintry | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
elements with loads of four Celsius. Tomorrow, that rain sticks with us | :04:35. | :04:45. | |
for some time but it slowly starts to clear later in the day. It will | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
be noticeably cooler with highs of six Celsius. I will leave you with | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
the Outlook. Have a very happy New Year. | :04:52. | :04:51. | |
The Beat's already part way through their pole | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
of the year's best tracks - and from ten have your | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
But on that theme, as we leave you now, some of our team have | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
wonderful New Year. You can keep up with all the best. Happy New Year. | :05:01. | :05:18. |
