:00:20. > :00:22.Scotland have voted overwhelmingly to keep the UK intact.

:00:23. > :00:24.A referendum has been held today in Corby, the Northamptonshire town

:00:25. > :00:34.It's the Highland Gathering, first staged in the 1960s

:00:38. > :00:40.It's been estimated well ovdr half of Corby's population are

:00:41. > :00:47.But they won't be able to take part in the real referendum themselves.

:00:48. > :00:51.I think the Scottish people, if you were born in Scotland, therd is an

:00:52. > :00:54.argument they should get the vote because it will have a bearhng on

:00:55. > :00:57.whether in two years time, if they go to Scotland, whether thex need ID

:00:58. > :01:02.It wasn't supposed to be serious but the Labour Party's

:01:03. > :01:05.top spokeswoman on Scotland turned up,

:01:06. > :01:12.I accept people don't have ` vote here, but they have a voice,

:01:13. > :01:15.and in Scotland we are taken by the fact that people across Britain

:01:16. > :01:19.are taking such an interest in the referendum, that they care about the

:01:20. > :01:23.outcome of it, they actually don't want Scotland, by and large,

:01:24. > :01:28.This has been a Scottish enclave since thd 30s

:01:29. > :01:31.when workers from the Clyde came South to the Corby steel plants.

:01:32. > :01:35.That's four generations of Scottish heritage.

:01:36. > :01:38.I vote we should stay as one country, I am for the union.

:01:39. > :01:40.I think Scotland should be independent.

:01:41. > :01:46.My mother was born in Aberdeen, my father is English, so I am British.

:01:47. > :01:52.In the end, 576 people cast their vote and the result was very clear.

:01:53. > :02:08.The result may be a comfort to the no campaign

:02:09. > :02:11.but there's no guarantee thd verdict of Corby expats will be reflected in

:02:12. > :02:22.Two months is a very long time in politics.

:02:23. > :02:25.Next, questions hanging over the future of a small Suffolk seaport.

:02:26. > :02:28.Campaigners say the harbour at Southwold is being neglected.

:02:29. > :02:31.They believe that, legally, the town should own the harbour

:02:32. > :02:35.But the town council says it doesn't want the responsibility

:02:36. > :02:40.As picture perfect as it can seem, Southwold harbour needs investment.

:02:41. > :02:43.One side of the harbour wall is dilapidated.

:02:44. > :02:46.The caravan park needs updating. Some claim the local

:02:47. > :02:49.District Council, Waveney, is taking rents on this

:02:50. > :02:58.The caravan site has, for many years, been treated as a cash cow.

:02:59. > :03:01.I appreciate they have to find funds to run their services,

:03:02. > :03:04.but they also have to keep the harbour in good repair.

:03:05. > :03:07.Some claim the District Council shouldn't own the land at all.

:03:08. > :03:10.When local government was rdformed in the 70s, they say it should have

:03:11. > :03:17.Waveney District Council adlits that it relies on the income from

:03:18. > :03:25.But Southwold Town Council say they can't afford the liability of taking

:03:26. > :03:28.on the ownership or the leg`l costs that could come with it.

:03:29. > :03:32.There's boat`building, there's fisherman there, and

:03:33. > :03:35.if there was to be an acciddnt, it could possibly cost the town council

:03:36. > :03:53.A six`week consultation on the future

:03:54. > :03:58.The one thing that wasn't up for discussion, though, is

:03:59. > :04:08.Well, we've had sharp showers and even hailstones today.

:04:09. > :04:09.What else is in store? Here's Georgina Burnett.

:04:10. > :04:13.We have hopefully seen the back of those showers

:04:14. > :04:18.David Leadbetter took this picture of where two houses caught

:04:19. > :04:24.And the sky over Bury St Edlunds was said certainly picturesque

:04:25. > :04:30.So, tonight, we're looking at a much fresher night.

:04:31. > :04:32.It will be largely cloudy, but temperatures down to

:04:33. > :04:34.about 12 Celsius, so certainly more comfortable.

:04:35. > :04:39.And a fine day to come tomorrow. Plenty of sunny spells around.

:04:40. > :04:42.As we head into the afternoon, a bit more in the way of cloud,

:04:43. > :04:44.but it should still be quitd a nice end to the day with

:04:45. > :04:46.a south`westerly breeze but nothing to

:04:47. > :04:51.Tuesday, patchy rain returns, and Wednesday,

:04:52. > :04:54.probably some more showers as well, but those temperatures rise as we

:04:55. > :05:09.From all the team here in Norwich, goodnight.

:05:10. > :05:18.Good evening. A fine night ahead. A few showers are lingering across

:05:19. > :05:22.eastern England and eastern Scotland. They should fade away into

:05:23. > :05:28.the small hours. There will be clear skies and it will be a fresher night

:05:29. > :05:33.and last night. Temperatures will slide down into the mid-teens and

:05:34. > :05:38.lower. A decent start to the new week. The emphasis really is on

:05:39. > :05:42.start because, once the morning gets under way, wetter and windier

:05:43. > :05:46.weather. To work its way into Northern Ireland probably reaching

:05:47. > :05:50.most part by the end of the rush-hour and pushing into western
