Hello. Welcome to the start of a new week with Suzy and I. The headlines: | :00:07. | :00:19. | |
on, off, on. Essex believes its controversial | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
switch off again after people in Colchester say they do not want to | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
be left in the dark. They should leave the lights on so when people | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
are walking home they can do so feeling safe. Use your mobile phone | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
well driving and get a fine of ?1000. Campaigners step up their | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
demands for safer driving will stop the Wall is crumpled in a car crash. | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
This order is left with the bill for ?20,000. | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
If I at Anglesey Abbey helping the team get the silver birch trees | :00:49. | :00:59. | |
ready for the annual light Festival. Controversial plans to switch off | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
streetlights in Colchester have been dramatically shelved. The lights | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
were to have been switched off at midnight tonight, but they will now | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
stay on following a wave of opposition. | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
Essex wants to cut its energy use to save money. The lights have been | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
switched off between midnight and 5am for the last six years in Maldon | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
and Uttlesford. But plans to do that in Colchester have met with fierce | :01:23. | :01:32. | |
local resistance. It is a proposal that has provoked the feisty | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
exchange of views. Critics of the council idea have been told to grow | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
up. They in turn have accused the authority of being short`sighted. As | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
you can imagine, lots of people in lots of communities have come up | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
with lots of arguments against this proposal. Some areas, they say, are | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
already too dark. There is a danger of people tripping and falling. The | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
recurring theme was about crime. Locals are this area already had | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
quickly as the anti`social behaviour and if you can delete it for a few | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
hours it will get worse. Colin has leprosy is that pass for | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
26 years. He has worked for a local councils and says this idea is | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
asking for trouble. It is one of the main pedestrian routes through this | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
project area of Colchester. I think it is crazy in that particular | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
instance to take the lighting away because it acts as a security | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
measure more than anything. The aim of this plan is to save ?1 million | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
per year and cut carbon emissions by switching off streetlights in | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
certain areas between 12pm and 5am will stop it has been running into | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
areas since 2007 and there has been no increase there, City Council, in | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
cream or road collisions. They say there have been energy savings of | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
20%, equating to around ?70,000 per year. Green tree and Chelmsford went | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
wrenched apart by clicking last month, Colchester should have | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
followed suit today but after a delay things are on hold. You can | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
cut costs by bringing in more environmentally friendly lighting | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
like LED. We have worked in other parts of the country and they have | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
saved money. If you make the initial investment you will see benefits | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
over many years. The county council says the meeting will be held | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
shortly to discuss this latest delay and agree a way forward. | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
We asked the ruling Conservative group to come onto the programme to | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
talk about this but they declined. The councillor who caused this | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
latest delay is Stephen Robinson, a Liberal Democrat. He told me why. | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
There are a number of streets in Colchester and Chelmsford which are | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
protected by CCTV. If the lights go off then the CCTV does not work. | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
Colchester council is saying that they would like the lights left on | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
in streets which are covered by CCTV. The council tellers there is | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
no evidence that part snake lighting affect crime levels. Evidence on | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
cream is mixed, trainers happily following across the country anyway. | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
The fear of crime is very real and should not be ignored. The | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
maintainer economy in places like Telstra and Colchester in the | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
upwards of 15,000 people on Friday Saturday night in and around the | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
town centre. You see lots of people in the town centre but these streets | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
that they are talking about switching the lights off in are not | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
in the town centre. But when people are walking home, a lot of those | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
political speech are quite busy, and there are also footpaths would have | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
liked on them which are being switched off. In Telford 14,000 | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
mites affected by this, the dream of a 10,000. Why should Colchester be | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
any different hash`2`mac We're looking at Colchester because | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
that is where the winds are due to go off. We have 5200 people in the | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
area who are not happy with the proposal. The annual saving for | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
these lights is, the estimate, ?1 million per year. They cannot see | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
that they are, where should they cannot see that there, where should | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
we say that Western Mark if the invested in low`energy light bulbs | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
they will cut carbon by more than they propose. They have spent ?6 | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
million on investing in centralised switch off systems so they can | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
control everyone from Chelmsford has orders. If they spend that money on | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
LED lights they would be cutting their carbon and saving money from | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
the one. Thank you very much. Drivers who use their mobile phones | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
while driving should he find ?1000, according to road safety | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
campaigners. The charity league says that too many accidents are caused | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
due to lack of concentration in the current penalty is not harsh enough. | :06:01. | :06:08. | |
20`year`old Jimmy Murali video game at Norwich city College, this is a | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
simulator used by Norfolk leads to help engage with young people. The | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
video game is not easy but it gets much, much harder when Jimmy is | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
asked to drive and text at the same time. He crashes. You have your | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
mobile phone, if it is on the seat for summer you can see, the | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
temptation is to be to look at it. The devices that have e`mails and | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
texts on Facebook and applications, the things go off all the time. Put | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
it in the glove box or turn it off. Any new survey, a road safety | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
charity says that more than 80,000 drivers across East Anglia | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
half`point by the license for using the mobile phone well driving. The | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
charity says that figure is unacceptable. You should not be | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
great in the law by using a cellphone at the wheel, but you | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
should not be using hands`free either. You should turn the phone | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
off and focus 100% on driving. Jordan was left paralysed from the | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
chest down after being involved in a crash which she was 15. She took a | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
lift from an inexperienced driver lost control of the car. Genotoxic | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
other young people about safe driving and she, too, believes | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
mobile phones are a dangerous distraction. If there is an | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
emergency then you should pull over and then tell somebody. You must | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
think about all the other people around you. Jordan is making a | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
career in the beauty industry and is optimistic. She made a mistake by | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
getting into a car with an inexperienced driver and does not | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
want other people to make the mistake of using a mobile phone well | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
driving. A council has been cleared of | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
putting people at risk. After an incident in which a woman was killed | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
by a runaway horse. Carole Bullet was killed two years ago at Nowton | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
Park in Bury St Edmunds. The event was organised by the local council. | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
Today it was found not guilty of breaching health and safety | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
regulations. One of the best examples of the | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
so`called crinkle crackle wall has been badly damaged in a road crash. | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
The wall, which has a distinctive curvy shape has stood for two | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
centuries. It is one of the finest crinkle | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
crackle wall anywhere and one of the longest in the country. Built with 1 | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
million Suffolk redbrick surround the old Hall at an estate. Now, this | :08:37. | :08:44. | |
small section has taken a battering. It was built 200 years ago for the | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
fifth Earl of Rockford and was 2.5 miles long. It was built and what | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
they call the Serpentine stale because it had strength to the | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
structure, there were no need for buttresses. In the days of a big tax | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
that was great news because it saved on bricks. They are often referred | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
to as ribbon or wavy walls. The singular shape allowing them to be | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
just one big thick. But engineers have been believed to introduce them | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
here when training the Fens, and 50 rebelled in Suffolk. Ian is | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
responsible for this part of the wall. It was 10:15pm on Friday when | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
the headlights of a dark Land Rover pierced through the wall. Ran out | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
and found the hole behind me, the vehicle which caused the damage then | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
reversed out of the rubble. We could get no details of the driver | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
vehicle. We know that it will probably not be able to be rebuilt | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
because of the spring, the temperature must constant. Today, | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
another piece of war damaged in the deals was being rebuilt. Villagers | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
want safety measures after ten accidents on this corner in the past | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
four years. The bill for putting this watch together again, ?20,000. | :09:59. | :10:06. | |
Another aid flight has left Stansted airport bound for the Philippines, | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
the latest to leave Essex. Last week the British Red Cross sense applies | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
to set up a quarter in Asian bees for charity workers. | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
50 years ago today the Dartford Tunnel was opened in Essex. The | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
tunnel would goes under the River Thames links Essex with Kent. It was | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
hoped and congestion, but it became so busy the Dartford Crossing bridge | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
was built. `` hoped to eat congestion. Although | :10:33. | :10:42. | |
this whole project is highly mechanised it is still one of the | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
toughest jobs in the world. By 1963 the back beginning work was complete | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
in the Dartford Tunnel was open. I was 13 when the tunnel first opened | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
that it was so exciting at that stage to actually come through a | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
tunnel, it was probably the first tunnel I have ever driven through | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
with my father. The first tool was half a crown forecast, 12.5 p in | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
today's money. Six shillings for lorries. In 1980 a second tunnel was | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
opened and in 1991 the Queen open the bridge. The Dartford Crossing is | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
part of the M25 in London, although the crossing itself is actually the | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
need to H2, so traffic banned from waterways can use it. The opening of | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
the tunnel and later the bridge was supposed to end congestion but there | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
is no so much traffic that crossing itself has become a frustrating | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
bottleneck. It is, you always expect delays and hold`ups, it would be | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
better if the did away with the tall figure. A nightmare. Traffic, | :11:49. | :11:58. | |
queues, going over and back again. Not the best of places to go in a | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
hurry. DeVos was marvellous for a period of time but now we are back | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
to where it was 160,000 vehicles per day now use the crossing and that is | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
why other bridge or tunnel is needed, a consultation is taking | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
place about whether it should go. The roads are a bit busier than the | :12:19. | :12:20. | |
where in 1963. Still to come we talk to the Suffolk | :12:21. | :12:35. | |
tennis star Elaine about Thatcher about her decision to retire. And | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
Alex takes part in an unusual clean`up at the National trust. | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
Our special report tonight looks at the housing market and in particular | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
the lack of accommodation for people in the region. | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
Let's give you numbers. There are around 6 million people in the East | :12:59. | :13:00. | |
of England and that figure is going up by 1000 every week. Making is one | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
of the fastest`growing regions in the UK. The government estimates we | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
need to build about 25,000 new houses every year to cater for the | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
demand. But last year we only managed to build 12,000. What do we | :13:15. | :13:25. | |
do about it? At Medina Gardens, the tradesmen are | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
busy once more. Kitchen fitters, bricklayers and plasters. This | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
development on the outskirts of Rockhampton is one of 37 sites | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
currently being worked on by a person and across the East, | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
delivering more than 3000 new homes for which there is a ready demand. | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
There has been a demand, people are very nervous over the past few | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
years, obviously about where things were and with the availability of | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
different market products, the Help To Buy scheme, all it has done is | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
yesterday that confidence for people and maybe if people do not want to | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
move the four years ago, the oh no thinking there was the time to do | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
it. This region needs new homes because its population is rising. By | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
around half a million people every decade. Most of that is due to | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
immigration. Even now, we are not building. It is reckoned we need to | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
25,000 new homes per year, but last year we only got 12,000. However, | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
house`building is up 7% this year, the new homes are mostly going up | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
along the main commuter belts. The dark areas, close to the main | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
release and roads. Will the recovery in house`building last? This company | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
as a good indicator of where the market is heading will stop it puts | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
on the roads, drains and sewers before house builders move on and is | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
working on a tight in Norfolk and Suffolk. If we are busy, it would | :14:52. | :14:59. | |
suggest the rest of the housing industry will follow suit. It's a | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
good indicator that the residential market is buoyant, picking up, and | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
is said to have some good growth. But the pick`up has caused a | :15:12. | :15:13. | |
shortage of bricks and concrete blocks. This firm has doubled | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
production since last year. We are extremely busy and we can hardly | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
make enough blocks to keep up with the demand currently. People are, | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
regain, building homes, and ringing forward projects which were put on | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
hold for the last five years. In Northampton, these new homes are | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
being snapped up there is a long way to go before house`building back to | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
its prerecession peak. Let's talk to Richard. Some encouraging signs | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
there. But how sustainable is this recovery in house`building? I think | :15:46. | :15:52. | |
the recovery is pumped up by the help to buy scheme under which the | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
government provides loans to first`time buyers. That scheme will | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
have to come to an end sometime so it could all be a bit of a | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
short`term boost. Another concern is what is happening to the smaller | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
house builders. Most of the houses being built are being built by the | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
major house`building groups and the smaller people are finding it | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
difficult to get the bank lending they need but overall, it's good to | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
see house`building recovering at all after several years of being in the | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
doldrums. Richard, thank you. Every year in this country we spend ?1 | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
billion on clearing up litter. In just one town, Wellingborough, the | :16:27. | :16:35. | |
bill is ?100,000. The local council decided to illustrate the scale of | :16:36. | :16:37. | |
the problem and took one street and cleaned just one side of it. The | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
other side was left unclean. So what happened? The details from Stuart | :16:44. | :16:54. | |
Ratcliffe. Britainmacro`poss battle with litter is nothing new. But | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
perhaps the tactics to get people to change their habits are. This | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
weekend in Wellingborough, litter pickers were picking up after | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
late`night drinkers but the clean`up was on just one side of the street, | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
and by Monday, it was clear this was a tale of two footpath. As expected, | :17:11. | :17:18. | |
there is litter on the floor. It is right next to where litter bins are | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
so they could have been used for the it's no surprise to myself. I | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
thought it could have been worse. The experiment is one which is being | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
monitored closely. Not just by the council but by shoppers in | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
neighbouring Northampton. I'd do wonder whether people actually drop | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
more letter on that street than they would normally would. Do you think | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
littering is getting worse in Britain? I think it is, getting very | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
bad. People don't care like they used to. Why'd you think that is? I | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
don't know. I don't think there's as much respect for where you live. I | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
think it quite disgusting, to be honest, no need for it, is there? At | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
a time when councils are tightening their belts, questions are being | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
asked about the true cost of litter. When you spend ?100,000 picking up | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
litter, at times when money is short, what could we do with that | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
money? There could be services we don't have to cut, and it's just | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
because people can't be bothered and throw it on the ground because we | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
will pick it up. This experiment is being repeated across the country | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
with similar results. But the question here is whether experiments | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
like this have any effect at all other than to remind us what litter | :18:45. | :18:53. | |
louts the British can be. Elena Baltacha announced today she was | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
retiring from the professional game. During his 16 year career, she | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
became one of our longest`running British number one players. She won | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
11 singles titles and was once ranked in the top 50 in the world. | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
She is now expected to go into coaching. We spoke to her, who told | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
us she made her decision because of injuries. I still love tennis. I | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
love competing. And I would have loved to have carried on. I still | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
think I could've achieved many more things, but whenever I put myself | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
into anything I've always given 100% and I just feel that I haven't been | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
able to practice. I haven't been able to push my body the way I | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
wanted to. And also, you know, I've only been training once a day, which | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
is not enough, especially if I want to improve and get better and take | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
on the big players. I just feel it's definitely the best time to retire | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
because I feel I won't be able to develop as a tennis player. Judy | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
Murray called to the most incredible ambassador for women's ten is in | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
Britain for the past 12 years. `` called you. I presume you will stay | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
as a great ambassador for tennis? Absolutely. It was so lovely of duty | :20:06. | :20:12. | |
four sub Judy is an amazing lady. She is so inspirational and one of | :20:13. | :20:22. | |
my major achievements that I'm always representing my country. And | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
also playing for Judy Murray was such an experience. She's such an | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
inspirational lady. Of course, everything I have banked over the | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
years, I want to get back to the next generation. Obviously, my | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
academy has to do come first, based in Ipswich, and I would dedicate | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
myself to that fully. But also, I want to get back to British tennis | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
and give children the opportunity that tennis has given me to | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
hopefully, you know, pastime my knowledge and hopefully leave them | :20:58. | :21:06. | |
alone and it is in it. Do you have any regrets or disappointments from | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
your years at the top? You are always going to get disappointments | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
along the way and I always think, if you don't, either you're not going | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
to be successful or you are just unbelievably lucky. I think, through | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
the disappointments, that's where it makes you stronger. I wouldn't | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
change anything if I had to do it again. I wouldn't change anything at | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
all. It does make you who you are and I'm glad I had those obstacles | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
and I managed to fulfil my potential. Great to talk to you and | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
we wish you the best for the future. Thanks for coming on the programme. | :21:43. | :21:49. | |
Thank you very much. Gardeners can do lots of things with trees, | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
plants, prune them and chop down but today in Cambridgeshire, they were | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
actually washing them. These are silver birches and innovative | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
Christmas they are used to provide a stunning backdrop to The National | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
Trust centre. Alex has been to see how they do it four sub as the | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
winter weather sets in, the gardens at Anglesey Abbey near Cambridge are | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
being brought back to life. The team is hard giving the silver birch | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
trees a bit of a face`lift. Over time they build up a green algae and | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
were just trying to get them cleaned up with fresh washers, get them | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
looking nice and back to their stunning white. It was established | :22:29. | :22:35. | |
here in Anglesey Abbey 16 years ago and these are Himalayan silver | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
birches and they have been specially selected for the brilliant white | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
bark. And according to head gardener, Richard Todd, they will be | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
the centrepiece of the winter light Festival. It opens next week. These | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
will be lit. This is the climax of the whole event. We are lighting up | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
over one mile of the whole garden with colouring themes, and all sorts | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
of amazing features for the every tree will be lit up and away you | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
have never seen before. Last, 7500 people turned up to see the winter | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
lights including photographer Alistair Grant. | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
Tickets are selling out fast. See spectacular scenes like this. I came | :23:19. | :23:29. | |
around the corner and I saw a wall of the good pink light, really | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
nothing I've seen. Hard to describe unless you were there. The colours | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
were just vivid, fantastic, really, really bright and, of course, it | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
really showed off the bark of the silver birches to its fullest | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
extent. With over 100 trees to clean and only one day to do it, an extra | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
pair of hands is needed. But we will have to wait until next week before | :23:55. | :24:03. | |
we see their full transformation. They look great, don't they? Time | :24:04. | :24:05. | |
now for a look at the weather. A rather gloomy day and through the | :24:06. | :24:14. | |
afternoon, cold air advancing towards us from the north`west. It | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
is actually behind this band of rain. It's a very narrow band, as | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
you can see, but it's moving pretty quickly, so over the next few hours, | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
well, it's going to race across our region and I think by about | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
midnight, the last of it will clear the Essex coast. Then you can see | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
dryer skies following behind. Along with much colder air. These are the | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
low temperatures we're expecting in built`up areas and the coast but | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
rural spots could top down to `3. A widespread frost. A very cold night. | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
I the end of outcome of the wind will be light moderate, | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
north`westerly. `` by the end of the night. Wet and windy weather on | :24:55. | :25:04. | |
Wednesday. Tomorrow, high`pressure means cold, frosty but a sunny start | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
the day four sub much cloud tomorrow. We could see a few | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
showers, mainly affecting the north`east corner and they could | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
have a bit of sleet or hail mixed in. Temperatures, well, despite the | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
sunshine, struggling to around five Celsius at the very best. I have to | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
say, those modern north`westerly winds certainly not make me feel any | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
warmer. Through the afternoon into the evening, a few showers around | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
but eventually they will fade away so, for many of us, it is a dry and | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
to the day. As we head into Wednesday, I mentioned that weather | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
system on the pressure chart, it will bring longer spells of rain | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
during Wednesday morning. But, by the afternoon, to the south`east we | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
will see sunny skies following behind. And then, on Thursday, | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
decent spells for many of us, another chilly day in the northerly | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
wind, but it could dry in the summer showers. And again, some sleet or | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
hail mixed in. But, by Friday, those showers will be few and far between | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
and, for most of us, another chilly day. The wind easing down a touch. | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
And some cold nights on the cards. Tonight and tomorrow night. | :26:16. | :26:16. | |
Particularly cold. Thank you very much. A big thank you | :26:17. | :26:25. | |
to all of you who supported children in need over the weekend. We always | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
do very well in this region and we can confirm we raised ?2.2 million | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
and that is a record. We will leave you with some highlights. Bye bye. | :26:35. | :26:42. | |
