18/04/2014 Look East - East

on the BBC News Channel. I'll be back with the late news at 10pm.

Now, Good evening. Special "amnesty bins"

have been installed at the Sixfields football stadium in Northampton to

try to stop fans taking smoke grenades, flares or fireworks into

the ground. Nationally, there's a growing trend for so`called "pyros",

which are widely used on the Continent. The police say it's

against the law, and want f`ns Continent. The police say it's

against the law, and want fans to against the law, and want fans to

bin their flares with no qudstions bin their flares with no questions

asked. The away team arriving at Shxfields

today. Most football games `re friendly, but increasingly across

the country fans light fireworks and flares in stands. Some even throw

them onto the pitch. I think the danger of flares is massive, because

it is a chemical reaction, so there's a chance of burns, smoke

inhalation. There's panic amongst the fans who might find thelselves

surrounded by smoke, which can be upsetting for some. This afternoon,

police reminded fans of the dangers. They were also warned that taking

fireworks into a stadium is a criminal offence. Anyone carrying

pyrotechnics was urged to hand criminal offence. Anyone carrying

pyrotechnics was urged to h`nd them pyrotechnics was urged to h`nd them

in. They can get rid of them. The police won't take any action with

anything that is found in the bins. They'll be thrown away and

discarded. We will see it as a positive because they won't be going

into the ground, and hopefully it will avoid any youngsters gdtting

will avoid any youngsters getting into trouble later on. They think it

is fun, really, and it is not, it is dangerous. I think it is a good idea

because it is a dangerous thing, bringing in flares, especially when

you are bringing children with you. you are bringing children whth you.

It could be potentially life`threatening. The initi`tive

life`threatening. The initiative will carry on for the next three

games. There've been calls to improve a

road in Norfolk, after a woman There've been calls to improve a

road in Norfolk, after a woman died following a three car collision

yesterday. It happened on the A 46 at Loddon. Three air ambulances were

called to the scene. The road was closed for six hours, and three

people remain seriously ill in hospital.

At this time of year, the Easter holidays, rush`hour is terrhble It

is very difficult to find a gap to get onto this road. It is obvious we

need to slow down this traffic, a 60 mile per hour road. The only

mile per hour road. The onlx solution, I think, can be a

roundabout. You can only sax this solution, I think, can be a

roundabout. You can only say this so roundabout. You can only say this so

many times. We can't allow lives to be lost like this.

Six people in Colchester have now received envelopes full of cash in

the post. No`one knows wherd received envelopes full of cash in

the post. No`one knows where it's the post. No`one knows wherd it s

come from and the only link so far is that some of them live, or have

lived, in the same street. Felicity Simper reports.

Two envelopes of cash, no note, no name. Dennis Barnes is stumped.

Receiving ?300 in total, he did have a theory but now is back to square

one. I racked my brains and then realised there is more. That has got

me thinking. It is definitely elderly writing. Probably a woman's

writing, so I've been told. Now the mystery of the anonymous money doner

has deepened with around six residents having received envelopes

of cash in the post, three of whom are reported to live, or have lived,

here in Wycombe Road. A mild away, war veteran Charlie Williams is also

trying to identify the anonxmous trying to identify the anonymous

benefactor who sent him ?200 in the post. I thought it might have come

from an old lady I used to look after. I don't know, but now I find

out more people have receivdd ? 00, ?300. What can I say? I have put

out more people have received ?200, ?300. What can I say? I havd put the

?300. What can I say? I have put the money to one side until the press or

police, or whoever, finds ott money to one side until the press or

police, or whoever, finds out who police, or whoever, finds out who

sent it to me. Both Dennis `nd Charlie say the money is staying

sent it to me. Both Dennis and Charlie say the money is st`ying in

Charlie say the money is staying in the bank until they find out who it

has come from. Football, and just our Leagte One

Football, and just our League One and Two teams were in action this

afternoon. In League One, Colchester went down 1`0 at home. They're just

two points above the drop`zone. And MK Dons lost away at Port V`le.

MK Dons lost away at Port Vale. Peterborough and bottom sidd

Stevenage both play tonight. In League Two, a great away win for

Southend. They stay in the play`off places. But a draw for Northampton

couldn't get them out of thd relegation zone. In the

Championship, Ipswich could move into the playoffs with a win at

Watford tomorrow. And in the into the playoffs with a win at

Watford tomorrow. And in thd Premier Watford tomorrow. And in the Premier

League, the relegation zone beckons if Norwich lose against Liverpool on

Sunday. Let's get the weather now. We had a

little bit more cloud this afternoon. Not the best of days but

we see an improvement tomorrow. It is looking dry tonight, and there'll

be some clear spells around. Into tomorrow, a better day with

brightness and sunshine. There tomorrow, a better day with

brightness and sunshine. Thdre is a brightness and sunshine. Thdre is a

chance of one or two isolated chance of one or two isolatdd

showers, but the big change will be the wind direction, coming from the

east. In the sunshine, tempdratures around 11 or 12 degrees. Watch out

for an isolated shower for the afternoon, but generally quite

for an isolated shower for the afternoon, but generally quhte a lot

of cloud around. We should see some sunshine, but then it goes downhill

on Easter Sunday. This is the pressure pattern. Low presstre

pressure pattern. Low pressure moving in, which means we won't all

wake up to rain, but showers spreading in, particularly across

those serving counties, so dveryone those serving counties, so everyone

sees rain. As for the start next week, maybe some sunshine but also

week, maybe some sunshine btt also showers. I will be back with an

update at 10:20pm. Goodbye. Today we have seen temperatures

rising if Scotland but again tonight, with the clear skies and

light wind temperatures will fall sharply, and for many of us, we are

looking at a touch of frost. The satellite picture tells a story

nicely. This belt of cloud is sitting in the far north-west of

Scotland, we have had this cloud bubbling up across eastern areas and

with the northerly wind it has felt cold in East Anglia. That cloud is

going to melt away, we will get an easterly breeze picking the cloud

back in again later in the
