Hello and welcome to a special edition of Look East, live from the | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
A14 on the day the government announced plans for a new toll road, | :00:20. | :00:29. | |
right here. It is part of a £1.5 billion project which will also mean | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
improvements to the A1. But crucially, through traffic will not | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
be able to use the old the A14. Also in the programme, I am out on | :00:39. | :00:46. | |
the route that the new toll road will take, six lanes of traffic will | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
cut through this part of the countryside. | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
And I will have a round—up of the rest of the day's news, including | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
network rail pleading guilty to health and safety breaches after a | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
member of staff dies fixing overhead power lines. | :01:01. | :01:14. | |
If you have ever used this road, you will see that traffic is moving OK | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
this evening. You can be bumper to heal gay all the way up this stretch | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
of road, it can take a lot of time to come up here. —— on part two | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
tailgate. Just to give you a quick bit of geography, the St Ives | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
junction is just there. Felixstowe lies in that direction. Behind the | :01:32. | :01:43. | |
camera, you will find Huntingdon and Northants incher and the Midlands. | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
We are here because the government has announced plans for this road. | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
The plans are expensive, they're ambitious. And already they're | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
proving controversial. The existing road heads north west from Cambridge | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
towards Huntingdon. That will change. This road will head | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
cross—country and will not rejoin the A14 until Hillingdon. —— LE | :02:05. | :02:15. | |
didn't. Many thought that drivers would still be able to use the old | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
road, but the government will remove a crucial road bridge across the | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
railway here, forcing cars onto the toll road. As part of the package | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
there will also be improvements to the A14 and the A1. No, the | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
timetable. The government is consulting on plans until October | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
2013. It will confirm the route in late 2013. If all goes to plan, work | :02:41. | :02:49. | |
will start in 2016, and be complete within three or four years. Finally, | :02:49. | :02:57. | |
the tolls. The proposals here, £1 or £1 50 per car and double that for | :02:57. | :03:05. | |
lorries. Already people are calling —— talking about rat runs and we are | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
on a bridge where one of those rat runs will go. People who come here | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
to avoid paying the tall and go back onto the A1 that way. We are already | :03:17. | :03:26. | |
giving lots of opposition. I'm at Offord Hill Farm, and in seven years | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
time this field is set to be the new A14 toll road. The theory will be | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
gone. —— the greenery will be gone. Three lanes of traffic in each | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
direction, they'll run from junction 28 of the existing A14 at Swavesey. | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
About eight miles in that direction, through to Ellington which is about | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
four miles over there. And that is where the road will join up with the | :03:51. | :03:58. | |
A1, which you might just be able to see in the distance. The A1 will | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
also need widening there to cope with the extra traffic. Mike | :04:01. | :04:10. | |
Cartwright has the details. This woman's family has farmed the for | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
more than 60 years. This hedge just 60 metres from her house is where | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
the toll road will go. The traffic in the glare from street lights in | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
the landscape she loves will be ripped in two. Terrible. It is going | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
to cut the farm in half, we have lived here since 1952. It is awful. | :04:32. | :04:40. | |
It makes you want to cry. I am sure there are other places they could | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
put it. There are many roads between here and Cambridge that they could | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
take and add another lean on to. In Huntingdon this flyover carries | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
traffic. There are plans to put it down, and then rewrote local traffic | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
through the town. If they drop the bridge it will be good because it | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
will bring a local traffic into town. Good for business.It is good | :05:07. | :05:15. | |
for traffic if they will stop. In St Ives there is fear of more | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
congestion if people search for ways to beat the tall. The RC seeing you | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
must use the toll road unless you want to beat the traffic. It could | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
be a bad thing, traffic is bad in the morning. The A14 gets really | :05:30. | :05:38. | |
jammed. We are on the A1, you join the new road here in Buxton and | :05:38. | :05:46. | |
joined the the A14 that way. It will go past Helton had to Swayze. One MP | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
said it is the wrong solution. I do not think it is the right way to go. | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
We must control the costs of this project, and deliver improvements on | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
what we currently have. We should try and fit more on the real ways | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
rather than the roads. If the toll road comes, this landscape could | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
change forever. Most people agree that something must be done to fix | :06:13. | :06:23. | |
the A14. For people in these villages, this new road is not about | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
improving the economy or journey times, it is about how it impacts on | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
their lives. Many are worried that the mere mention of this route today | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
is enough to wait a large chunk off the value of their homes. | :06:39. | :06:47. | |
Janine thank you very much. When the heavy vehicle goes over this bridge | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
it wobbles. About 85,000 vehicles use this section of the A14 every | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
day. Now on a normal road you would expect about one in ten of those | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
vehicles to be an HGV. But on the A14 it is one in four. A reminder | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
that this road is a major artery between the port at Felixstowe and | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
the Midlands. So what do hauliers and businesses make of the plan? | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
Here is our business correspondent Richard Bond. This man set up his | :07:10. | :07:25. | |
transport company 25 years ago. It has 200 lorries, 150 of them working | :07:25. | :07:32. | |
out of Felixstowe. They want in a 14 upgrade but deplore the idea of a | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
toll. They are indicating a toll of around three or £4. Each journey, | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
given that we carry out 150 journeys per day, that is going to be 250, or | :07:44. | :07:53. | |
£200,000 per year. What will that be in five years time? Huge costs. | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
Felixstowe as the UK's biggest port. It is a cornerstone of the economy. | :07:59. | :08:09. | |
We feel that this will be a tax on Suffolk, and in town it will be a | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
tax on UK plc by taxing the significant ports that come through | :08:13. | :08:20. | |
Felixstowe. But you want the the A14 to be improved. Shouldn't hauliers | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
tip into the cost? We have already paid for our road network through | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
the taxes we pay already. Piling another tax on top of that business | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
is no way to go about it. However unpopular road tolls are, they are | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
an essential part of the business case for the new road according to | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
the highways agency. New road tolls, no new road. The Treasury | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
will not pay for the entire scheme, they are providing most of the money | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
but believe that road users should contribute, too. There is support | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
for this view in the business community. We cannot ultimately | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
leave the A14 in the situation it is in at the moment. We must have the | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
solution. From the business perspective I would hope that they | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
would support a small level of the in order to get the A14 improvements | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
underway. If there is one thing this region needs it is better | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
infrastructure. The A14 upgrade would deliver that. Subtle colliers | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
and see it should not be at the expense. | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
So opposition from people who live near the new route. Concern from | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
people in business. Opposition too from some hauliers. Plenty to put to | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
the roads minister, Stephen Hammond. And when I spoke to him from the | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
studio early today I started by asking him about the decision to | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
make this a toll road. What we have always said as a government is that | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
we are always prepared to look at polling as a way to make sure we can | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
build a new and improved infrastructure. This is the biggest | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
single project that the highways agency will be updated —— will be | :10:01. | :10:08. | |
undertaking in 2020. There is already local support for this from | :10:08. | :10:16. | |
the local county council. The AA said that asking drivers to pay to | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
use the A14 with no alternative rewrote is a double whammy, many | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
drivers see the tolling proposals as the thin edge of the wedge, a Trojan | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
horse to introduce wider calling. There is no intention to tall | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
existing infrastructure. But it might be that you will build future | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
roads using tolls. We have always said that. The A14 is an example of | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
this. We are not ruling it in or out. But you always said there would | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
be an alternative, but there isn't. There are alternatives for locals, | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
there is an alternative on the a fortune eight onto the A1. How much | :11:01. | :11:09. | |
will the ride etc put into this? There is no final decision. —— how | :11:09. | :11:16. | |
much will the private sector put into this? The central government is | :11:16. | :11:23. | |
putting 1.5 billion into this. That will not stretch, you will | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
presumably expect the private sector to fill the overspend. I am not | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
expecting any overspend, and I will not prejudice any relationship | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
caused by the split in costs between public and private sectors. In —— | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
are you concerned that by having this toll road on a public route | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
that you will take away traffic from the port of Felixstowe? This will be | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
huge for Felixstowe in terms of access, far from taking away it will | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
accentuate the virtues of Felixstowe as a port. If you do hear strong | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
opposition from local people, you will listen? That is why we are | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
having this consultation. Thank you very much. Later in the programme we | :12:10. | :12:19. | |
will hear some more of your views, we will also hear what local MPs | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
have been saying about this idea of the toll road. Let's catch up with | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
more of the news from where you live. | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
Hello. Network Rail has admitted breaching health and safety | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
regulations following the death of one its workers in Essex. Malcolm | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
Slater, who was 64, died in 2008 when the aerial platform he was | :12:42. | :12:51. | |
working on sheared off. Real workers repairing overhead | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
power lines, it was while doing this type of work on the Norwich to | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
London rail line in Essex that Malcolm Slater was fatally injured. | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
In June 2008 he and two colleagues were working at height in a basket | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
welded to a hydraulic arm. The will field, sending the men plummeting 15 | :13:10. | :13:17. | |
feet onto the track below. Malcolm Slater died from head and spinal | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
injuries. Today, network rail admitted breaching health and safety | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
regulations. The court heard that there was a 350 kilograms weight | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
limit for the hydraulic basket, but on the day before the accident it | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
had been repeatedly overloaded by up to 100 kilograms. Nor was this the | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
first time that overloading of these baskets had been reported. In | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
addition, the alarm on the vehicle which warned of overloading had been | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
muted. Network rail have expressed their regret at the death of Mr | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
Slater and the entities sustained by his two colleagues. They refused it | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
claims that the platform had been used as a crane but they failed to | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
address overloading in normal use. They will be sentenced tomorrow. | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
One of the country's biggest private care providers has apologised after | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
a hundred people in Norfolk criticised its standard of care. In | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
the summer, "Care UK" took over the County Council's contract.. To | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
provide care to the elderly and vulnerable in their own homes. | :14:19. | :14:28. | |
Carers UK senior managers travelled to Norfolk to defend themselves on | :14:28. | :14:38. | |
BBC UK —— BBC Norfolk radio. My main reaction is just absolute | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
disappointment. We have reached this kind of level, and we have given | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
people the reason to complain. It is important that we apologise when | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
things go wrong. The reasons they go wrong can be varied, but it is | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
important that we apologise and say that we are not happy that this | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
situation has happened. Roger Hagley is among those who have complained | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
about medication is not being given. Born with cerebral palsy devalues | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
his independence but says that the excellent care he received for 23 | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
years all changed when carers UK took over in July. You cannot have | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
the same independence because you do not know what time the carers are | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
coming in. No disrespect to the carers, they are good people, but | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
you do not know what time the coming in and that change. Today, BBC radio | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
Norfolk continued to receive complaints. There are too many | :15:34. | :15:41. | |
issues to mention. I could go on all day. After the meeting with the | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
company to make, the county council said that they will take action if | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
they do not see rapid improvement. 120 part—time soldiers from the East | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
have just returned from a training exercise in Croatia. With the army | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
set to lose 20,000 regular soldiers, it needs reservists to fill the gap. | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
In the first of three special reports our Defence reporter Alex | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
Dunlop joined the Royal Anglian reservists near the town of Slunj. | :16:05. | :16:24. | |
Call them weekend warriors and they will not thank you for it. For a | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
fortnight in this wilderness these men are full—time soldiers. Men like | :16:29. | :16:38. | |
William. Matthew. And Joseph. You learn to build up a family, you get | :16:38. | :16:44. | |
out and do this kind of thing and you push yourself to the limit. The | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
government wants more like William to do just that. The regular Army is | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
set to shrink by one fifth, the hope is that there will be 30,000 | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
reservists by 2018. There are more benefits coming through that the | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
army are offering reservists that were never there. I hope in the Army | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
hope that this will encourage more services —— encourage more people to | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
join. For an army looking to cut costs you may ask why there are | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
people getting sent to Croatia for two weeks when we have training in | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
the UK. The answer is immersion. Immersion in a different country and | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
culture. The town of Slunj still bears the scars of the Civil War of | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
the early 90s. Mayfield and memorials to dead soldiers are sober | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
look —— sober remainders to soldiers. There will be less | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
fighting in Afghanistan. Will people be less inclined to join the | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
reserves? I have no doubt that we have a generation of soldiers at the | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
moment whose primary aim was to join to be on operations. My job as the | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
commanding officer is to identify the hooks to keep people in the | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
reserves in the future. Exercises such as this offer adventure and the | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
opportunity to progress their reserve carriers. Certainly, the | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
novelty of training alongside Croatian soldiers is a draw for | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
local reservists. This is the first time. It is, if you have made us | :18:18. | :18:26. | |
very welcome. Awesome. Poll, who works at Stansted airport, is proud | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
to be part of the first British military units to train in Croatia. | :18:31. | :18:37. | |
I can take back general confidence, I will be a more rounded person. | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
Better time management. When the enemy is in front of you, do not get | :18:43. | :18:50. | |
focused on him. The Anglicans enjoy strong local royalty across the | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
eastern region, but it is sobering that, 2020, more than one in three | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
soldiers will be a part timer. Tonight our sister programme Inside | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
Out will be revealing the state of the region's sewers It includes | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
footage of the deposits of fat clogging the system. Two years ago | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
the watchdog Ofwat gave Anglian Water until 2015 to improve the | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
network. But its latest performance report says it is falling behind. | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
One of the main problems the company faces is these so—called 'Fatbergs' | :19:18. | :19:25. | |
which have built up in the sewers. Back to Stewart on the A14. | :19:25. | :19:35. | |
Welcome back to the A14 in Cambridgeshire. Just a quick | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
reminder of why we are here. Today the government announced plans for | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
part of the A14 to become a toll road. The new stretch will run for | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
some 12 miles between the Swavesey junction and Ellington. As part of | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
the package there would also be improvements to the existing A14 and | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
the A1, all at a cost of £1.5 billion. Let's talk to her political | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
correspondence, Andrew Sinclair. This has been a years in coming. I | :20:01. | :20:08. | |
was talking to Andrew Lansley who reminded me that when he first | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
became a Kim Butcher MP in 1987 he talked about improving the A14 in | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
his maiden speech. The campaign had been going on for that. There are | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
two problems, the first is that Kim Butcher is growing, the roads are | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
very congested. —— Cambridgeshire is growing. Traffic will increase by 20 | :20:26. | :20:36. | |
or 25%. But it is so expensive to do something that previous plans have | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
failed. The government says that things will be different, they have | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
a big and bold plan. This is one of the problems that people have, they | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
will have two use the road and pay for it. A new precedent has been | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
set, if you look at the other pole road in the country, the M6, you can | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
either choose to pay to go on it or go up the old insects. Here they are | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
taking daily bread so the obvious alternative is gone. There will be | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
other alternatives, but the government has admitted that they | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
want as many people as possible using this new toll road. That has | :21:14. | :21:21. | |
made a few MPs jumping. The Suffolk MP is worried about what this will | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
do to the future of Felixstowe port. Most MPs, their reaction is that | :21:25. | :21:32. | |
they do not want to have a toll road but it is the best thing. Thank you | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
very much indeed. Let's get more of your reaction. | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
Thanks, Stewart. We've already heard how people living close to the route | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
of the new road feel. Hauliers too. But of course the A14 runs right | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
through this region. And it affects anyone heading to and from the | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
Midlands. So we asked our Suffolk reporter Kevin Burch to gauge | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
opinion 50—odd miles east of here in Bury St Edmunds. But a Saint Edmunds | :21:58. | :22:06. | |
is packed with personally. There is something around every corner. One | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
of the constant is the A14. It rumbles relentlessly. It is the | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
highway that never sleeps, except of course when it is gridlocked. It is | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
frustration over constant hold—ups that has fuelled fears lobbying for | :22:20. | :22:27. | |
an the A14 upgrade from the business community. At this special was | :22:27. | :22:37. | |
printing firm in Bury Saint Edmunds, they operate here and abroad by the | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
£10 million annual turnover and they say the idea of a toll road on a key | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
route is an outrage. Build a new road, yes, but paying for it in | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
addition to what we already pay, that is bad for all commercial | :22:53. | :22:59. | |
enterprises. This man chairs the local Chamber of Commerce. He | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
believes that this will appeal local firms when they are helping to drive | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
the economy forward. Anything that improves the road is good news to | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
the area, but when you put additional costs on you can see | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
where they end up. They end up with the consumer. Use our taxes to | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
improve the road. I would pay to go through, I don't | :23:20. | :23:28. | |
mind. To put a toll on the existing road seems like lunacy. Will they | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
get any tax advantage for contributing? I think not. Will you | :23:33. | :23:40. | |
pay the toll or would you look for another route? Green man —— I am a | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
white van man, I will find a route around it. The government say they | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
are keen to hear what people think about the idea. | :23:51. | :23:59. | |
Kevin Burch there with some views from Bury St Edmunds. And we're keen | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
to hear your stories on this subject. We've already had a big | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
response — overwhelmingly negative so far. Just a quick flavour | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
tonight: Jonathan Bowman on Facebook predicts thousands of cars and | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
lorries will use side roads to avoid the tolls. And Dougie Richmond | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
accuses the government of neglecting East Anglia. Would they toll the | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
M25, he asks. Thank you very much for your comments. You can get in | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
touch in the usual way And do remember to leave us a contact | :24:29. | :24:36. | |
telephone number. Just before we came on air, the | :24:36. | :24:44. | |
skies opened but the sun is out and it is pleasant. Let's catch up with | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
the weather. We have sunshine and showers, two, | :24:46. | :24:55. | |
the main area of rain heading into the North Sea. Some of these showers | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
are heavy and Sunday. The risk of showers head into the evening. —— | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
heavy and sundry. Or many of us it will become dry, but we will have a | :25:08. | :25:15. | |
warm spot under clear skies and we could see a chilly eight degrees. | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
The wind is settling towards the north—west and picking up on the | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
north Norfolk coast. Tomorrow we have low pressure in the north—east | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
with the weather front draped around it, that brings wet and windy | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
weather to some of us. From the word go we are expecting some heavy and | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
sundry showers, we could see some brightness and sunshine coming | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
through. Then a more organised band of rain pushing westward. The | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
heaviest rain is expected in North Norfolk, where we could see 20 | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
millimetres of rain, nearly an inch. We will see this this evening and | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
overnight. As well as heavy rain we are expecting strong to deal force | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
winds around parts of the course tomorrow, the strongest winds | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
expected in the north Norfolk coast with gusts of 45 to 50 mph. A call | :26:07. | :26:15. | |
day for some of us, highs of around 11 degrees. That is around 10 | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
degrees below average for this time of year. Into the evening we expect | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
the rain to go further westwards before it retreats to the east. The | :26:25. | :26:35. | |
rain might go to some western parts and others will remain completely | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
dry. There will be when the weather and on Wednesday the last of the | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
weather will clear the east and we can see a try and brighter slot, but | :26:45. | :26:51. | |
another area of rainbow push down from the north—west later in the | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
day, on Wednesday. Firstly looks fine and dry with some brightness | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
and perhaps some sunshine, but on Friday a return to cloudy conditions | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
with further outbreaks of rain. A humid feeling day on Friday. Does | :27:03. | :27:09. | |
before I go, these are your overnight lows. | :27:09. | :27:16. | |
Thank you very much indeed. As you stand here, you get a constant | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
rumble of heavy goods vehicles coming up and down this road, it | :27:20. | :27:27. | |
goes on and on. When the new road is built the junction will be just down | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
the road there, couple of miles. Then we can look forward in seven | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
years time in 2020 two This Rd being almost empty. That is a long way | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
away. From hollows, good night. | :27:40. | :27:40. |
