carried on. We kept an eye on what was going on, and it became | :12:36. | :12:39. | |

scheme, almost everyone will have at least basic internet capability. | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
Urban areas, are quite well covered already, but rural areas have | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
struggled. The government has given the county just over �4 million | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
towards the project. The private company behind the heavily | :13:47. | :13:50. | |

there's been an increase in the number of self-employed people in | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
this region .. With the biggest increase in Northamptonshire where | :14:39. | :14:42. | |

four years. Our business correspondent Richard Bond reports. | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
This woman used work for a company in a Northamptonshire selling | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
imported car accessories. But she and her colleagues decided to turn | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
up -- take over the business of stop men are factoring in the UK. | :14:56. | :15:03. | |
They were still stop making products like snow plough clubbers. | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
When working for someone else, they picked a what you sell. They do not | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
dictate what they bring in. We can try different things, and if they | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
don't work, we can try something else. It gives us a much more open | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
market to work with, and we are not restricted by what someone else | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
says we can do or make. This man held start of to Northamptonshire. | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
The reason that so many people are starting up his two reasons. | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
Sometimes people need to have some support to their income. They can | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
do it as a hobby. More importantly, we are doing it because they want | :15:38. | :15:46. | |
to have their own business and they can have control of their finances. | :15:46. | :15:53. | |

from a school in Northampton says illegal parking outside her school | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
is putting children's lives at risk. She's taken to doing her own | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
patrols and is naming and shaming illegally parked drivers. It is | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
quite clear. The road markings are the same found outside any school. | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
No parking. But some parents and drivers are ignoring the role. This | :16:20. | :16:26. | |
woman is the head teacher. After witnessing several it misses, she | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
decided to take matters into her own hands. All of the road markings | :16:30. | :16:37. | |
are clear. Double marking is unsafe. And against law. She is now outside | :16:37. | :16:47. | |

I have tried to work with parents to stop when parking illegally, but | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
it has reached the point where parents have been so rude to me and | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
verbally abuses there I feel strongly now that the police need | :16:57. | :17:07. | |
:17:07. | :17:15. | ||
to take action. If a car is moving, I will ask them to move. -- parked. | :17:15. | :17:22. | |
I don't think people can understand that they can't park there. | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
police say they don't have the resources. They say that they are | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
