:00:07. > :00:12.Hello and welcome to Look East. Coming up in the programme
:00:13. > :00:16.tonight... No to pay`as`you`go. The government backs down on plans to
:00:17. > :00:26.toll the A14. But where does that leave the much needed upgrade? The
:00:27. > :00:30.news that hopefully this has stopped is good for local business.
:00:31. > :00:34.Another death at this notorious black spot. Police say the victim
:00:35. > :00:39.could have been in the water for up to a week. We have the rest of
:00:40. > :00:43.today's news later on. Prince Charles pays tribute to the
:00:44. > :00:46.women who risked their lives as secret agents in the Second World
:00:47. > :00:50.War. And the bidding started at ?2
:00:51. > :00:51.million ` and climbed to ?4 million. A potential superstar is sold at the
:00:52. > :01:01.Newmarket sales. Good evening. First tonight... A
:01:02. > :01:07.major U`turn over plans to toll the A14 in Cambridgeshire. It was to be
:01:08. > :01:11.the country's first toll road for a decade. But the notion of having to
:01:12. > :01:14.pay to use the new section was deeply unpopular. Today's government
:01:15. > :01:18.climb down follows weeks of pressure from MPs and business groups. One of
:01:19. > :01:20.the reasons the tolling plan is controversial is because the A14
:01:21. > :01:23.controversial is because the A1 corridor is the main link between
:01:24. > :01:29.the Midlands and the Port of Felixstowe. The route is used by 40%
:01:30. > :01:35.of the UK's container trade. But the route is congested and badly in need
:01:36. > :01:38.of an upgrade. 13 years ago, Tony Blair's government announced a new
:01:39. > :01:43.A14 would be built between Cambridge and Huntingdon. But in 2010, the
:01:44. > :01:48.newly`elected Coalition scrapped it saying there wasn't enough money. In
:01:49. > :01:52.September this year the Government announced a ?1.5 billion scheme to
:01:53. > :01:55.build a new section of the route. It would run for 12 miles between
:01:56. > :02:00.Ellington and the Cambridge services near Boxworth. But cars would have
:02:01. > :02:01.been charged between ?1 and ?1.50 near Boxworth. But cars would have
:02:02. > :02:16.been charged between ?1 and ?1. 0 to use it. Lorries, ?3. Mike Cartwright
:02:17. > :02:21.is over the A14 now. There it is, the notorious A14,
:02:22. > :02:24.running pretty much in a straight line from Felixstowe to the M1 in
:02:25. > :02:31.that direction. The story behind this has many twists and turns.
:02:32. > :02:37.Today there was another one. MPs and business leaders in Suffolk say that
:02:38. > :02:39.a toll road were to be like a tax to get into their county. Their
:02:40. > :02:42.lobbying has helped to get this scrapped and people in this part of
:02:43. > :02:48.the region have been reacting to that news today.
:02:49. > :02:52.For one of the most congested roads in the country, yet another U`turn
:02:53. > :02:56.by politicians. Just a few weeks ago, the toll road got the
:02:57. > :03:01.go`ahead. Today, after growing pressure, it was scrapped. In towns
:03:02. > :03:06.like this one, fears that there avoiding paying which turned the
:03:07. > :03:13.streets into remnants. This reaction today. Why should we have toll
:03:14. > :03:20.roads? We pay taxes. It only encourages people to do rat runs. It
:03:21. > :03:24.would keep the traffic off the road, it would keep the commute down and I
:03:25. > :03:33.would not mind paying a few quid a day. You're disappointed it is
:03:34. > :03:36.scrapped? A bit! Get out of your car and he's the boss, but I did not
:03:37. > :03:43.think the toll road would work anyway. The toll road was meant to
:03:44. > :03:48.be coming across this farm land here. It would have run along this
:03:49. > :03:55.hedge line across the viaduct and edge towards Allington. The toll has
:03:56. > :04:01.now gone, and it seems the route has stayed the same. The new road will
:04:02. > :04:07.pass just metres from this woman's home. No toll means a lot more
:04:08. > :04:11.vehicles on it. There will be the lights, the fumes, we will not be
:04:12. > :04:16.able to sleep at night. I think there will be a lot of noise. I
:04:17. > :04:22.really do. It is only that far`away. You will have all of the heavy
:04:23. > :04:27.lorries. At this factory in Wellingborough, they make pump
:04:28. > :04:33.equipment. They are a vital link to Felixstowe and overseas customers,
:04:34. > :04:41.and they said the toll road would have been bad for business. This
:04:42. > :04:45.would have had a massive impact on shipping costs, making us being
:04:46. > :04:48.below capacity again, so this news is fantastic for local business.
:04:49. > :04:50.below capacity again, so this news is fantastic for local business.
:04:51. > :04:54.There campaigning against the tolls here described today as a vicar
:04:55. > :05:00.trade, and they say that if work`out begun when it was first proposed, it
:05:01. > :05:04.would have been a lot cheaper. Trust`macro those campaigning
:05:05. > :05:11.against these tales have described today as a victory.
:05:12. > :05:17.The same scheme will go ahead at a cost of 1.5 billion pounds.
:05:18. > :05:20.Hopefully there will be details about when this work will begin and
:05:21. > :05:27.when it would be finished, and when it will end. This stretch here, it
:05:28. > :05:31.will remain, it would be a local road. This big viaduct near the
:05:32. > :05:35.railway station in Huntingdon, that will come down. Speaking to people
:05:36. > :05:39.in this part of the world, they say they have heard about this upgrade
:05:40. > :05:46.so many times that they will believe that a new A14 when they finally see
:05:47. > :05:49.one. Dick Jarvis is from the Federation
:05:50. > :05:50.of Small Businesses and joins us this evening. You have campaigned
:05:51. > :05:52.against this toll for some time, this evening. You have campaigned
:05:53. > :05:58.against this toll for some time how against this toll for some time how
:05:59. > :06:01.do you feel? Ecstatic. It is fantastic news. We will have to see
:06:02. > :06:09.what the changes there might be in the design and listen to what they
:06:10. > :06:13.come up with tomorrow with the announcement officially. What would
:06:14. > :06:20.be the perfect announcement tomorrow? That they will start
:06:21. > :06:26.building the A14 upgrade tomorrow paid for by the government. We pay
:06:27. > :06:30.enough in the taxes on fuel and vehicle tax and the rest of it, so
:06:31. > :06:35.he can use the money, he has got the money there. Hauliers have made it
:06:36. > :06:42.clear how they would be affected if this toll would go ahead, how would
:06:43. > :06:46.it have affected smaller businesses? A lot of smaller businesses, those
:06:47. > :06:50.doing service work, like plumbers, electricians, builders, people like
:06:51. > :06:56.that, they would crisscross the country, they would go to different
:06:57. > :07:01.worksites, they would want something, they have to travel down
:07:02. > :07:03.the A14, through the toll, and that is ?1, ?1 50, they've got to come
:07:04. > :07:09.back, that is another ?1, ?1.50, two back, that is another ?1, ?1.50, two
:07:10. > :07:11.to try and miss it will mean rat running through all of the villagers
:07:12. > :07:16.to try and find your way around, and to try and find your way around, and
:07:17. > :07:22.that will mean an increase in the movement of these vehicles. Suffolk
:07:23. > :07:24.MPs have claimed that their involvement brought about this
:07:25. > :07:31.turnaround, do you think that campaigners in Cambridgeshire were
:07:32. > :07:40.ignored? Oh, your mobile phone! Someone knows you are on TV! Do you
:07:41. > :07:50.think that you were ignored this back then? No, we were lobbying I
:07:51. > :07:55.personally live within a mile of the A14, and the road originally, when I
:07:56. > :08:00.moved to their, that was the a 04 and the dual carriageway, the M11
:08:01. > :08:07.did not even come up near it. We want to see this guilt and as soon
:08:08. > :08:08.as possible. Thank you for your time, we will be getting political
:08:09. > :08:11.reaction... We'll be getting political reaction
:08:12. > :08:15.to that story from Westminster later in the programme. And I will have
:08:16. > :08:18.further coverage of the story on tonight's Look East late news at
:08:19. > :08:23.10:25. A man's body has been found in a car
:08:24. > :08:24.pulled from the river at a notorious accident black spot in
:08:25. > :08:28.Cambridgeshire. Police say 50`year`old Keith Pettit could have
:08:29. > :08:32.been in the water for up to a week. It's the sixth incident on the North
:08:33. > :08:36.Bank in Whittlesey in as many days. Now the speed limit is being lowered
:08:37. > :08:40.with immediate effect. Tyre marks still visible in the
:08:41. > :08:44.grass. It was along here that Keith Pettit's car left the road and went
:08:45. > :08:47.into the River Nene. The body of the 50`year`old from Corby was pulled
:08:48. > :08:50.out of the water yesterday. The authorities, now checking the road
:08:51. > :08:56.for any sign of how the accident happened. The road surface at the
:08:57. > :09:02.moment, it doesn't appear to have any problems. You want to understand
:09:03. > :09:05.the factors leading to the latest incident and to try and put in place
:09:06. > :09:09.measures to prevent this happening again. But this isn't the first
:09:10. > :09:12.accident to happen along this road. Flowers mark the spot where
:09:13. > :09:13.18`year`old Hannah Yates died last month. Her car also left the North
:09:14. > :09:17.Bank and plunged into the river. In Bank and plunged into the river In
:09:18. > :09:21.fact there have been six accidents here in the past six days. People
:09:22. > :09:28.living and working nearby say safety measures are urgently needed. You
:09:29. > :09:34.probably need to get speed cameras down here to stop these accidents.
:09:35. > :09:41.If not, some barriers on the River, because there are too many deaths at
:09:42. > :09:44.the minute. I do not see they could put up crash barriers, because I
:09:45. > :09:47.think that could be counter`productive. For now, the
:09:48. > :09:50.road at North Bank in Whittlesey remains closed. It'll re`open
:09:51. > :09:54.tomorrow, but with a temporary speed limit of 40 miles per hour instead
:09:55. > :09:57.of 60. That lower limit could apply for more than a year. Local
:09:58. > :10:00.campaigners will also meet councillors in the coming weeks to
:10:01. > :10:05.work out how to make this road safer.
:10:06. > :10:07.A 21`year`old man has gone missing in Bedfordshire. Sean Kennedy was
:10:08. > :10:11.dropped off at Harlington Train Station at quarter to seven on
:10:12. > :10:16.Sunday evening, but never made it to his home in Flitwick. He's described
:10:17. > :10:20.as six feet tall, slim and was wearing grey jogging bottoms and a
:10:21. > :10:26.black jacket with a hood. Police say his disappearance is totally out of
:10:27. > :10:30.character. They were set up to help
:10:31. > :10:33.disadvantaged children and families. But now more than half of the Sure
:10:34. > :10:37.Start centres in Peterborough could close. The local council says
:10:38. > :10:41.shutting them will help save more than a million pounds a year. Across
:10:42. > :10:44.the region, there are 181 Sure Start centres, but Peterborough is the
:10:45. > :10:56.first authority to look at closing them.
:10:57. > :10:59.When this little girl was born, her mother struggled with postnatal
:11:00. > :11:05.depression, feeling alone until she found other mums at local centre. It
:11:06. > :11:10.has made me need more friends than I had before, because lots of my
:11:11. > :11:14.friends left me when I had my child, so they all went. So I have made new
:11:15. > :11:19.friends, where their children camping together as well. It has
:11:20. > :11:23.made a very big difference for people, because a lot of new mothers
:11:24. > :11:27.are not very confident in what they are doing, and they have no idea how
:11:28. > :11:34.to look after their baby. I didn't. At being able to meet other people
:11:35. > :11:40.in a similar situation, it really does help. The centres were
:11:41. > :11:43.originally set up by the last Labour government in areas that were seen
:11:44. > :11:49.has deprived, to help give children a good start. They offered parenting
:11:50. > :11:54.skills and job`seeking advice, but now they have been expanded and in
:11:55. > :11:58.many areas are open to all. But now with pressures on budgets, some of
:11:59. > :12:02.the councils are looking at targeting support. In
:12:03. > :12:08.Cambridgeshire, changing from 40 centres ten to 12 clusters. In
:12:09. > :12:12.Peterborough, going from 15 to four super`centres and three outreach
:12:13. > :12:20.centres, not open to everyone, only the most needy. We would like to
:12:21. > :12:21.have a super`centre model without reach services attached to it. What
:12:22. > :12:28.about people that feel left out? about people that feel left out?
:12:29. > :12:32.They would have workers going out to them, they would have access to
:12:33. > :12:37.health visitor centres, and also we would have them to set up their own
:12:38. > :12:42.groups. Across Peterborough, they are campaigning to save these
:12:43. > :12:48.centres. I think parents would be lost. When I was a first`time mum, I
:12:49. > :12:51.did not know what to do, when my friends but professional advice, I
:12:52. > :12:55.was quite emotional. These changes could save more than ?1 million a
:12:56. > :12:58.year in Peterborough. People have until the New Year to have their
:12:59. > :13:01.say. The retail sector in Northampton has
:13:02. > :13:05.been dealt a fresh blow after the House of Fraser department store
:13:06. > :13:08.announced its closure. The store, in the town's Grosvenor Centre, will
:13:09. > :13:16.shut next year. The chain stores Next and Primark are set to occupy
:13:17. > :13:19.the two storey unit. We're disappointed to hear about House of
:13:20. > :13:24.Fraser. The council will be contacting them to try to see if we
:13:25. > :13:30.can help people facing redundancy and also, bad news for the town but
:13:31. > :13:33.positive news that new companies are coming into the town.
:13:34. > :13:37.University staff from across the region have today walked out for the
:13:38. > :13:40.second time in a row over pay. The first strike was held in October.
:13:41. > :13:42.The three unions involved, UCU, Unison and Unite, say they're
:13:43. > :13:43.campaigning for better pay. The Employers' Association which
:13:44. > :13:45.represents universities says it's gridlocked than it is already. It is
:13:46. > :13:52.a long way off. The plans still need government approval.
:13:53. > :14:08.Still to come: Famous Frankel's first child fetches a fortune. We
:14:09. > :14:12.search for our sporting unsung hero. The Prince of Wales has spent the
:14:13. > :14:16.day in Bedfordshire. He looked round a cereal factory and enjoyed a half
:14:17. > :14:20.pint of beer in a pub. He also unveiled a memorial to the women who
:14:21. > :14:23.were secret agents during World War Two. During the war, 75 women `
:14:24. > :14:27.mainly British and from all over the country ` put their lives on the
:14:28. > :14:30.line. Most were dropped by parachute on moonlit nights behind enemy
:14:31. > :14:33.lines. Lots of them were captured. 16 were killed. Our reporter Neil
:14:34. > :14:37.Bradford was with Prince Charles today.
:14:38. > :14:44.It was a very public celebration of this village's secretive past. The
:14:45. > :14:50.Prince of Wales was the guest of honour. He unveiled a memorial to
:14:51. > :14:54.the women who flew from nearby RAF bases during the Second World War.
:14:55. > :14:58.It was so secretive, not even the locals knew what happened there. It
:14:59. > :15:02.was so secret that even the villagers did not know what happened
:15:03. > :15:11.there. They knew that planes went in and out but did not know why. It has
:15:12. > :15:15.since become a farm and closed down. 75 female agents flew, dropped
:15:16. > :15:21.behind enemy lines to take part in a variety of missions. Among them was
:15:22. > :15:25.this woman, who signed up to the special operations executive, to get
:15:26. > :15:36.her own back after her husband was killed in action. She was captured
:15:37. > :15:42.in France, after a battle. She killed at least one soldier and
:15:43. > :15:45.wounded others. Those who work for the special operations executive
:15:46. > :15:50.only felt able to share their secrets decades later. My mother
:15:51. > :15:56.thought I worked for the Ministry of fish. She died at almost 80 without
:15:57. > :16:00.ever knowing the truth. We were under the official secrets act and
:16:01. > :16:04.it was not until 2000 when the files were open to the public and she was
:16:05. > :16:12.allowed to talk. Most of us were dead by then. This was one of four
:16:13. > :16:17.in Gidman is for his Royal high. He met local artists and schoolchildren
:16:18. > :16:23.at an art gallery. He also called in on a Christmas tree Festival. He met
:16:24. > :16:27.factory workers and business leaders.
:16:28. > :16:35.Despite the busy itinerary, the Prince still had time for a swift
:16:36. > :16:40.half. He joined the veterans, to revel in their stories. Thanks to
:16:41. > :16:45.this memorial, they will now always be remembered.
:16:46. > :16:51.The search for the BBC East Sports Unsung Hero is almost at an end.
:16:52. > :16:54.We're down to a short list of three. We're looking for that special
:16:55. > :16:57.person who works tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure others enjoy
:16:58. > :17:01.their sport. Tonight the first person on our short list is the
:17:02. > :17:05.driving force behind a netball team, the Hertfordshire Mavericks. Gloria
:17:06. > :17:06.Keech gives up 50 hours a week to make sure hundreds of girls enjoy
:17:07. > :17:19.netball. For nearly 45 years, Gloria Keech
:17:20. > :17:24.has lived and breathed netball. You will find her courtside at the
:17:25. > :17:29.Hertfordshire Mavericks, the super league club she set up from scratch.
:17:30. > :17:33.I have played since I was nine. I find netball is a team sport, the
:17:34. > :17:42.camaraderie in netball is second to none. She gets her hands dirty, she
:17:43. > :17:49.has a range of skills. She is the heart and soul. We would
:17:50. > :17:55.not have a franchise, compete nationally, if it was not for her.
:17:56. > :17:59.This region did not have a netball team in the top division before
:18:00. > :18:03.Gloria Keech stepped in. Though they have won league titles, produced
:18:04. > :18:08.England players, and regularly attract crowds of nearly 1000 fans.
:18:09. > :18:17.It goes down to grassroots. It is not just the elite level. Gloria's
:18:18. > :18:22.role is in the background, just how she likes it. The forms get filled
:18:23. > :18:29.in, the club takes over, which operates thanks to a team of
:18:30. > :18:32.volunteers set up by, guess who? Development is our middle name. It
:18:33. > :18:37.is not just about developing players, it is officials, anybody
:18:38. > :18:41.associated, right down to match the volunteers. There is still time to
:18:42. > :18:50.cheer the Bedfordshire County committee. Seven days, 50 hours a
:18:51. > :18:55.week, netball is lucky to have her on the sidelines. The winner will be
:18:56. > :18:59.announced on Friday. Tomorrow we stay with netball and the coach from
:19:00. > :19:02.Essex who's given more than 40 years to the sport. Sheikh Mohammed has
:19:03. > :19:06.bought himself another very expensive piece of horse flesh. He
:19:07. > :19:08.has paid a near world record for a foal fathered by the undefeated
:19:09. > :19:11.champion Frankel. The Sheikh's latest acquisition came at a packed
:19:12. > :19:14.auction in Newmarket. But no`one today could admire the form of this
:19:15. > :19:18.potential superstar ` because the foal hasn't been born yet. Our
:19:19. > :19:27.sports reporter Tom Williams was there when the hammer went down.
:19:28. > :19:35.The energy, the excitement, the anticipation, palpable. Tattersalls
:19:36. > :19:38.is packed to the rafters. Every mover and shaker is eager to catch a
:19:39. > :19:49.glimpse of history in the making. Dancing Rain, in foal to Frankel, is
:19:50. > :19:53.it a match made in heaven? The beauty is nobody knows the answer,
:19:54. > :20:00.but if she inherits any of his class, and her class, it has a good
:20:01. > :20:05.chance. Dancing Rain's finest hour came two years ago at Epsom.
:20:06. > :20:16.Storming finish, the only winner carrying her first foal to be
:20:17. > :20:27.offered at public auction in the first 50 years. The world record for
:20:28. > :20:34.a brood mare currently stands at ?4 million. An expectant hush. This was
:20:35. > :20:40.the first of Frankel's foals to be sold in the UK.
:20:41. > :20:48.John Ferguson entered at 4 million, bidding on behalf of Sheikh
:20:49. > :20:52.Mohammed, the ruler of Dubai. This was a horse he needed to have. S you

:21:04. > :21:08.striker from Barcelona, you will try and get him, no matter how good your

:21:35. > :21:41.five times more than he won on the track. `` at stud. He is a huge
:21:42. > :21:47.draw. Incredibly sought`after. He has not diminished in the public
:21:48. > :21:54.eye. The interest is overwhelming. That is the same in the bloodstock
:21:55. > :22:03.world. We cannot wait for his foals. The bloodstock market is
:22:04. > :22:09.buoyant. Racegoers will need to wait until 2016 for the next generation
:22:10. > :22:14.of Frankels to prove their worth. It is a lot of money. A reminder now of
:22:15. > :22:17.today's top story: the Government will confirm tomorrow that it is
:22:18. > :22:20.scrapping plans to impose a toll on the A14 in Cambridgeshire. The
:22:21. > :22:24.about`turn follows weeks of campaigning by MPs and business
:22:25. > :22:28.groups. The MPs from Suffolk played a very big part in the campaign.
:22:29. > :22:29.Let's go to Westminster now, and our political correspondent Andrew
:22:30. > :22:37.Sinclair. Tomorrow morning at 10am, Danny
:22:38. > :22:40.Alexander, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, will give a speech
:22:41. > :22:45.just over there were he will unveil what is grandly being called the
:22:46. > :22:50.fourth national infrastructure plan. In that, he will confirm that the
:22:51. > :22:56.toll road is no more. Critics will say this is a U`turn, the government
:22:57. > :23:02.will say it was only plans, out for consultation, and they have listen
:23:03. > :23:06.to concerns. The government has always believed that if you make it
:23:07. > :23:11.easier for people to get around, it will boost the economy. Several
:23:12. > :23:17.years ago, the Chancellor identified the A14 as one of the country's main
:23:18. > :23:21.arteries, and pushed for it to be improved as quickly as possible.
:23:22. > :23:26.This road has been delayed too long in the past. I am determined it goes
:23:27. > :23:30.ahead. At first it was only the local Liberal Democrats who were
:23:31. > :23:34.opposed to the idea. But the line from the government was clear.
:23:35. > :23:41.Charging motorists was the only way to afford it. S I cannot be more
:23:42. > :23:49.plain. When you live in difficult economic circumstances, you want
:23:50. > :23:53.roads to be built. Singling out the A14 seems arbitrary and unfair. It
:23:54. > :23:57.was the involvement of MPs from Suffolk which changed the dynamic.
:23:58. > :24:01.They called for debates and they lobbied the Prime Minister. The
:24:02. > :24:06.chancellor visited the region. Wherever he went he was at about the
:24:07. > :24:10.A14. Suddenly, it became clear that the government was having to
:24:11. > :24:15.rethink. I hear loud and clear there are a lot of people worried about
:24:16. > :24:19.the tolls. I will take that very seriously. A lot of people will be
:24:20. > :24:25.pleased that the plans have been dropped. The question now, what goes
:24:26. > :24:31.on in its place? That is a very good question. What will be in the
:24:32. > :24:35.place? We will get the details. You should always look at the small
:24:36. > :24:39.print. In the last 30 minutes I have started to get some idea of what
:24:40. > :24:42.will be announced. It looks as if the plans will stay exactly the
:24:43. > :24:49.same, the Chancellor has just found some extra money from somewhere to
:24:50. > :24:53.pay for building the new road without any toll. The other thing
:24:54. > :25:00.the government will stress his plans are still on schedule. They want
:25:01. > :25:04.building to start in 2016. Do we know why? I understand the decision
:25:05. > :25:09.was taken by the Prime Minister. It seems that he made the decision
:25:10. > :25:14.after he was told that there would be no free alternative to motorists
:25:15. > :25:21.who did not want to pay to use the toll. They felt he had not been
:25:22. > :25:26.properly briefed. He was under the impression there was a choice. They
:25:27. > :25:29.said they were up for having the toll but you need a choice. The
:25:30. > :25:35.Prime Minister agreed with them. Now the weather. You will be glad to
:25:36. > :25:38.know the sunshine is going to make an appearance tomorrow. Today we
:25:39. > :25:42.have a lot of cloud. That is how it will remain through this evening and
:25:43. > :25:47.for much of the night. That should mean we will be free of frost. We
:25:48. > :25:52.should mostly stayed dry, but there is a weather front arriving later on
:25:53. > :26:00.which could produce rain. If there are any gaps, perhaps around the
:26:01. > :26:06.wash, on the whole, it will be 3`4dC. We start tomorrow with this
:26:07. > :26:09.weather front approaching. That will mean a cloudy start. Sunshine is
:26:10. > :26:16.expected to come out mid to late morning. There is not a great deal
:26:17. > :26:19.of rain. Like and patchy rain clearing quickly to the south`east
:26:20. > :26:23.and then we will start to see that sunshine. It will not be
:26:24. > :26:26.particularly warm, seven degrees will be the highest. With the
:26:27. > :26:30.sunshine, it that will make a difference to how the weather feels.
:26:31. > :26:35.The light wind will help things along. It remains try and find. With
:26:36. > :26:39.clear skies, a much colder night follows. Looking ahead, the next
:26:40. > :26:45.weather front is on its way on Thursday. This is a cold front. It
:26:46. > :26:51.will not bring rain, but it will be accompanied by a strong wind. The
:26:52. > :26:53.significance for us in the East is a particularly strong wind across the
:26:54. > :26:58.Norfolk coast with some strong gusts into the evening time. That could
:26:59. > :27:04.coincide with high tides, producing problems. Then we have this cold air
:27:05. > :27:08.flooding southwards. A much colder day is expected on Friday. I'll be
:27:09. > :27:17.is not far away. It should push back by the weekend. `` the mild a. A
:27:18. > :27:21.very short lived cold snap. It is back to the bright start on
:27:22. > :27:25.Thursday, but it will turn cloudy. There will be some rain on that
:27:26. > :27:30.front but the strength of the wind is the concern. It will be windy
:27:31. > :27:34.across the region. Break but called on Friday. The cloud returns on
:27:35. > :27:39.Saturday. A sharp frost expected on Friday night. It is feeling like
:27:40. > :27:41.winter. Goodbye.
