independent Scotland. That is all from the News at six, | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Good evening. The first funding has finally been unlocked to kick`start | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
the development of a new town at Northstowe, just north of Cambridge. | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
But is it enough? There will be fewer facilities for people to | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
enjoy. How one city is leading the way in making sure that every child | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
has a primary school place. And later we have a special report on | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
solar farms. Are they a blight on the landscape? And all the world is | :00:43. | :00:57. | |
a stage for Charles and Camilla Good evening. The first funding has | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
been knocked to kick`start the development of the new town at | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
Northstowe. The entire project has been in the pipeline for years, but | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
now the plans for a brand new town are nearing reality. Our reporter | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
Ben Bland has the story. It's something that's been talked about | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
for more than ten years. Today's deal between the county and district | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
councils and the main developer is a big step towards turning the plans | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
into an actual town. And here's where it will go. 10,000 new homes | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
between Cambridge and Huntingdon. The first phase ` 1,500 ` will be | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
built near the village of Longstanton. Initially the councils | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
were hoping to secure ?65 million from the developer to pay for | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
amenities in Northstowe. Last year that was cut to ?40 million. They've | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
now settled for a contribution of ?30 million, less than half what | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
they originally wanted. And some councillors are very unhappy about | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
it. There will be less facilities for | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
the community to enjoy and it will mean more cost in the long`term | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
being put back to the local authorities were hard pushed and | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
facing financial crisis. With fewer community facilities there will be | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
more anti`social behaviour and mental health problems. So it is a | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
false economy if we allow developers to pay less money. The money they | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
have secured will go towards a primary and secondary school, sports | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
pitches and cycle routes. Some will also go towards paying for the | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
guided bus, which is already in place. But under the deal there will | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
be fewer affordable homes in the first phase. Instead of two in five, | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
it'll be just one in five. And for that, the developer makes no | :02:39. | :02:48. | |
apology. 40% of affordable housing was all the subject to viability and | :02:49. | :02:57. | |
the 20% in the first phase after all is 300 affordable housing units | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
which will be available for local people. I think that is a | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
substantial provision. This development will be one of the | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
largest in the UK ` a whole new town. Today's deal means that | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
shovels should hit the ground by this summer, with the first homes | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
ready by the middle of 2015. One of the issues that has emerged | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
from today's meeting is that the proportion of affordable housing for | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
Northstowe has halved. Earlier I put it to South Cambridgeshire's cabinet | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
member for Northstowe, Tim Wotherspoon, that fewer affordable | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
homes would exclude many desperate to get on the housing ladder. | :03:31. | :03:40. | |
While affordable housing is a technical definition and one in five | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
is a number that is being talked about quite widely and compared to | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
the 40% which is our policy. But there are questions of viability. | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
When you start a project like this is always more expensive to get over | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
that first stage. The other aspect is that there will be a wide range | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
of housing for first`time buyers in particular. Housing available at a | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
price that first`time buyers can afford. The other issue is the new | :04:12. | :04:21. | |
road, 1500 new homes being built, is that not going to cause a huge | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
amount of problems for those trying to access the road network? Well in | :04:26. | :04:35. | |
the first phase I do not think it is quite such an issue. We have worked | :04:36. | :04:44. | |
hard to get me a 14 back onto the agenda. It is thanks to local | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
campaigning that we have got it back onto the roads programme. I'm sure | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
it is little credit to the local campaigners against the toll that we | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
have persuaded the government to see about telling as well. But will it | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
be able to cope in the short`term? The transport assessment has been | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
clear about that. But the first phase remember, it is likely that | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
the 814 will be ready before the first phase is completed. | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
Next tonight, inspectors say the East of England Ambulance Service is | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
still failing to get to 999 calls quickly enough. But in some areas, | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
like Luton and Cambridge, it does seem to be making progress. The | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
latest assessment comes from the regulator, the Care Quality | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
Commission. Their inspectors made surprise visits on four days in | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
December. This from our chief reporter, Kim Riley. | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
The trust handles more than 900 000 emergency calls each year across six | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
counties and 7500 square miles. The inspection last month found | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
significant improvements in a number of areas and after interviewing | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
patients there was praise for the care received from the ambulance | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
crews and call handlers. But the trust is found wanting in ambulance | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
response times to life`threatening by 99 calls and staffing. Ambulance | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
trust disdained to respond to a high percentage of calls within eight | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
minutes. And at least 95% of calls should see an ambulance arriving | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
within 90 minutes. The latest figures show across`the`board trust | :06:35. | :06:49. | |
has failed to do that. MPs from across the region have led calls for | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
improvements to the server. Yesterday came the surprise | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
resignation of the interim chairman Doctor Geoff Harris. Much faith is | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
now being placed in the new chief executive Doctor Anthony Marsh. I am | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
impressed, he has bigger and enthusiasm and he is an experienced | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
chief executive in covering rural areas. We appreciate that he is | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
concentrating on recruiting paramedics and I think that is the | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
right direction. I want to give him time and support. He knows that the | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
pace of change needs to be stepped up. The report says the trust could | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
need over 500 additional paramedics by 2016. That is a tall order. It | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
also quotes a review identifying substantial shortfalls between the | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
resources of the trust and what it actually needs to meet national | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
standards. John Martin is the acting director | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
of patient safety and clinical standards for the Ambulance Trust. | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
Earlier he told Look East the report has recognised that the Trust is | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
making improvements. The report highlights that are clinicians have | :08:00. | :08:08. | |
a high degree of patient satisfaction. We have recruited a | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
number of staff this last year and on top of that we have increased the | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
number of staff internally who have become paramedics. We started a bit | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
campaign to recruit 400 now and that is ongoing. They will come in over | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
the next few months to man the ambulance. | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
The final "missing link" section of the Bedford western bypass could be | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
completed after funding was made available to buy up nearby land The | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
Borough Council has secured nearly ?16 million and is now set to | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
publish Compulsory Purchase Orders to buy the land required for | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
construction. The money has come from a number of agencies including | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
the Department for Transport. It's hoped the work can begin later this | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
year. Every child will have a place at one | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
of our primary schools. That's the guarantee from one city in the | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
region which has faced unprecedented demand for places. One thousand | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
children came forward in just one year needing to be schooled in | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
Peterborough. And the council there is spending tens of millions of | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
pounds to create spaces. I would like you to discuss whether | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
you think we should ban playtime or not. Five minutes, off you go. | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
Small school, high expectations That is the motto of Winston | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
primary. But soon the school is to double in size, so great has been | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
the demand for places. Pressure is on the younger age groups where | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
there has been a higher birth rate and more children in the area. There | :09:42. | :09:51. | |
is about 30 children who do want to come here but we are not able to | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
offer them the space. 5000 extra places have been created in the past | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
seven years but still more are needed. This year there will be six | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
school expansion project creating 1500 extra places at the cost of | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
more than ?25 million. Last year the city had to find 1000 new places, | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
down to more people move into the city and one of the highest birth | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
rates in the country. But the council says this expansion will | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
create spare capacity. We can guarantee that every pupil who wants | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
to come to school will have a school place but not necessarily where they | :10:30. | :10:37. | |
wanted to go. A brand`new school and a brand`new head teacher. The Thomas | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
Deacon junior college where they see rising pupil numbers as positive. | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
Most children are in the city and I do not think the city would be | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
getting the fantastic facilities with the new schools or expanded | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
schools without that growth in Peterborough. Work is going on | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
across the whole city to expand schools or build new ones. They will | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
be ready to take pupils this September. | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
In cricket, Cambridgeshire's Charlotte Edwards has helped England | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
retain the Ashes against Australia. She scored 92 not out as England won | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
the first Twenty20 international by nine wickets. It's her fifth Ashes | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
victory. Victory means England have won the multi`format series with two | :11:25. | :11:33. | |
Twenty20s to spare. They will lift the trophy for the second time | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
within six months. We were pretty determined this morning. It was a | :11:39. | :11:48. | |
must win for us today. I just went out there. I have been in good form | :11:49. | :11:57. | |
but to play on a great wicket here, and to lead the team through like I | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
did, we had and plastic support from Sarah Taylor today. It is a real | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
high for us. The Cambridgeshire heptathlete | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
Louise Hazel has come out of retirement in a bid to defend her | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
Commonwealth title later this year. The 28`year`old, who won gold at the | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
Delhi Games in 2010, retired in September but says the lure of | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
competing in Glasgow was too strong to resist. She confirmed her return | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
after a series of tests today involving sprint work, the long jump | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
and shot put. She told the BBC she felt in better shape than she | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
thought and can't wait to get started. | :12:30. | :12:31. | |
Those are the top stories. I'll be back at ten with | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
to flood defence, the authorities insist it is not the only answer. | :12:34. | :12:44. | |
Depending on your point of view, they are either a blight on the | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
landscape or an important way of generating clean electricity. But | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
some people believe we are getting too many solar farms too quickly? | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
Tonight one of our MPs will tell the House of Commons that the planning | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
controls on solar farms aren't strict enough. There are currently | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
14 working solar farms in the region. With a further 23 either | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
planned or being built. The latest row concerns plans on the | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
Suffolk`Essex border. To the west of Sudbury lies some of | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
the least populated and arguably most beautiful countryside in Essex. | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
And it's here that there are plans to build three solar farms across | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
300 acres of land. It is idyllic and very rural. And these solar farms, | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
very large solar farms, just don't fit in with the character. But they | :13:35. | :13:42. | |
don't make any noise and will be hidden by bushes. Are they really | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
that bad? They are hidden to a certain extent. Generally speaking, | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
it sort of spoils the ambience and character of the area. That is | :13:51. | :13:57. | |
problem. This is where one of the farms could be built. The landowner | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
didn't want to be interviewed. But he told me it would be surrounded by | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
bushes. Sheep will graze the land. Solar farms have become a | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
contentious issue across the region. We filmed this altercation near | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
Thetford a couple of once ago. Farmers can earn five times more | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
this way than through conventional agriculture. But one MP says they've | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
grown so fast, there are very few planning controls in place. If you | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
want to build a tiny garage on your house in this area, you have to have | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
a full environmental impact report. You can have a 300 acre farm of | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
solar panels and don't need any environmental impact report at all. | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
So there does not seem to be a good balance. Tonight in Parliament, | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
he'll call for solar farms not to be built near areas of outstanding | :14:46. | :14:47. | |
natural beauty. Or prime agricultural land. But those who | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
build them say there are already enough controls in place. And all | :14:53. | :14:54. | |
applications are carefully scrutinised. I don't know how they | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
are going to make it tougher. At the end of the day, the national policy | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
planning framework sets out a sustainable future for us and how we | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
develop all types of technologies and developments. Obviously, these | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
developments are assessed vigorously by the local authorities. The | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
government has cut the subsidy for solar power, but is reluctant to | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
legislate further. It says this is a clean and quick way to generate | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
power. Mr Newmark agrees. He just wants people to think more carefully | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
where solar farms go. Last night's football now. And the | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
matches involving Colchester, Stevenage and Northampton were all | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
victims of the weather. Peterborough United's trip to Sheffield United | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
tonight has also been postponed. But four of our teams did play. None of | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
them managed to win, but there was a lot to talk about. We'll start at | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
Carrow Road. Bleak, boggy, but nearly 27,000 | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
braved the weather. A measurable night for a number of Norwich fans. | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
It's been a miserable season. But a win this evening and they are in the | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
top half. Such optimism appeared totally misplaced in the first half. | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
Norwich came under fire. John Ruddy overworked in goal. The post proving | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
to be their saviour. Loic Remy then found the other one. Floods of | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
Newcastle chances came, but were wasted. Remy was denied again after | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
the break. The crossbar this time the last line of defence. Then | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
Norwich finally posed a threat themselves. Hooper! Another crossbar | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
saves Newcastle. Now more even as a contest. It boiled over late on for | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
Remy and Bradley Johnson saw red for one altercation. Robert Snodgrass | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
could have stolen victory. But it would have been harsh. City stay | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
12th. I thought our energy levels were better in that second half | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
period and we made more of a game of it. But we are against a quality | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
team today. Disappointing, because we are at home. You need to make the | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
most of your home performances. Entertaining game, another point. | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
But at times, Norwich rode their luck. Is it enough for the fans? I | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
think it's a good point. We were lucky to get that result. Woodwork, | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
the man of the match. It's a point gained rather than lost. Very poor | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
first half. They put on a show for us. They did not lose the game. Fair | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
enough. But there is just no heart there and it is disappointing to | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
walk away with the point that we should have lost. Why do they have | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
to get annoyed so much? We come to enjoy a game. It is good value for | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
money. Come on, you yellows, we will be there next season! | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
Mick McCarthy felt Ipswich had the chances to beat Leeds. David | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
McGoldrick put Town in front. But they couldn't hold on. Ipswich just | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
outside the championship play`offs. Carl Robinson was furious with MK | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
Dons' performance at Carlisle. A 3`0 defeat. The manager says some of his | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
players won't play for him again. Kevan Hurst scored for Southend. But | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
Dagenham made it 1`1, leaving the Blues sixth in League Two. | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
If you enjoyed the Olympic Torch Relay a couple of years ago, there's | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
another on its way. It's the Queen's Baton Relay which is part of the | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
build up to Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in July. And in this region, | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
the focus is on Suffolk and Monday June the 9th.We don't know all the | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
details. But it will kick off at breakfast time on the seafront in | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
Lowestoft. It will arrive in Newmarket at a community event in | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
mid`morning. And be at schools athletics competition in Bury St | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
Edmunds in the early afternoon. After that, it's Ipswich for more | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
athletics with the big finish in Christchurch Park. | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
Dame Kelly Holmes won a gold at the Manchester Games back in 2002. This | :18:31. | :18:38. | |
is her take on the relay. Each location are trying to celebrate | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
sport, bring families and young people together, what we are trying | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
to do. If people are interested, go on the website, or follow on | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
Twitter, they will be able to see what is happening around the | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
country. You could be somebody else at the time the bat on relay comes | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
around. We are in Suffolk on the 9th of June. That is key for that area. | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
But I think it will be really successful. We are really wowed the | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
team and the we are gathering to go to Glasgow to compete for team | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
England and we hope the public support them. Dame Kelly Holmes. | :19:17. | :19:25. | |
The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall enjoyed some of | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
Shakespeare's most famous works today at a special performance in | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
Essex. They visited the Palace Theatre in Westcliffe to launch | :19:34. | :19:35. | |
celebrations to mark the 450th anniversary of his birth. On stage, | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
school children inspired by their love of the Bard. | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
CHEERING. It may have been cold and overcast, but that did not dampen | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
the spirits. Hours waiting in the cold soon forgotten. For Charlie | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
Johnson, his first brush with royalty at the tender age of six | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
months. And patients rewarded with a chat with the Duchess. They were | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
alone sing the 450th birthday celebrations. | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
Rehearsals started early this morning, 30 children from schools | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
chosen to perform in the Shakespeare Schools Festival. Tomaso Luongo from | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
Suffolk delivering that soliloquy. To be or not to be. That is the | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
question. You have to be very intelligent | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
about Hamlet beforehand, because his emotions are really complex. | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
Overused phrase, but a once`in`a`lifetime experience? It | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
is, Royal variety. When we first heard about it, we thought it would | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
be his West End debut, but Southend is just as good. Rehearsals over, | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
the moment of truth, and for the young cast, the biggest performance | :21:00. | :21:12. | |
of their lives. Tybalt! Afterwards, relief and parade at | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
what they had achieved. At first, he made a joke, saying not too many | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
injuries, and we laughed, and he was asking where we were from and that | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
he enjoyed it. What did he say? He seems very interested in England and | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
school, and I shook his hand. I am not going to wash it! This is so | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
important. We need to get the word out there to more and more schools | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
about the wonderful work we do, how children love it, they never thought | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
they would meet the Royal Highness is, so it was fantastic. And for the | :21:49. | :21:58. | |
young actors, that meant the world. They needed any more inspiration, | :21:59. | :22:07. | |
they certainly got it today. A fabulous day for them. An amazing | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
experience, and some very good acting. And Prince Charles coming up | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
behind that women. Now for the weather. | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
The weather is a mess. Low pressure across the country bringing a cloudy | :22:22. | :22:29. | |
forecast today and outbreaks of rain. The positioning as meant an | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
easterly wind, so the weather has a real cold steel. Through this | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
evening, we see continued spells of rain. `` real cold feel. More rain | :22:42. | :22:50. | |
from France to most areas through the night. Cloud and a brisk breeze | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
and temperatures not falling to low, but we could get down to two | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
Celsius, and perhaps some frost and ice in sheltered spots. Not great | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
tomorrow. Quite cloudy and healing cold. And further outbreaks of rain, | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
particularly through the morning, and those could be heavy. Some drier | :23:13. | :23:20. | |
interludes. Certainly not the best forecast through the morning. Heavy | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
downpours, but rain becomes patchy and later through the day, so by the | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
afternoon, it is also through the region. Temperatures perhaps up on | :23:30. | :23:39. | |
today, six or seven Celsius, but that wind direction still East or | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
southeasterly. The wind light tomorrow, but feeling cold. For the | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
afternoon and evening, we just about get rid of the rain, conditions | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
behind it remaining cloudy. Looking to Friday, an area of low pressure | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
is coming, bringing rain, which is not welcome, but it will arrive | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
later for as in the East, and much of the day dry if rather cloudy. As | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
the weather front approaches, the wind will increase, direction | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
changing to southerly, but windy at around the middle of the day, and | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
the rain arriving, probably not until after nightfall for most. But | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
it spreads across the region, heavy in places, the wind continuing to be | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
quite strong through the night. But for the weekend, it starts to get | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
drier, brighter, temperatures up to seven degrees. There could be some | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
showers around, but the forecast looks like it is improving for the | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
weekend. But still staying quite windy for Saturday. With clear skies | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
overnight, getting quite cold overnight, cold enough to bring a | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
touch of frost in places and icy patches. | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
Just lovely when the whole country is obliterated by a band of rain! | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
Stay indoors on Thursday. We will see you tomorrow night. Goodbye. | :25:11. | :25:35. | |
