:01:00. > :01:03.another. Good evening. Welcome to Look East.
:01:04. > :01:09.First tonight: The thousands of new homes in the region not being built.
:01:10. > :01:13.Figures obtained by the BBC show that large numbers of new homes with
:01:14. > :01:16.planning permission are still on the drawing board. This, as the
:01:17. > :01:19.Chancellor says Britain needs to "get building", to ensure working
:01:20. > :01:22.families can buy a home of their own. Peterborough has the l`rgest
:01:23. > :01:25.number waiting to be built ` more than 8,000. It's closely followed by
:01:26. > :01:29.Wellingborough and in Harlow, almost 4,000 homes are still waiting to be
:01:30. > :01:32.developed. The figures also show that across the East about half of
:01:33. > :01:43.these homes have had planning permission for more than two years.
:01:44. > :01:47.Tom Barton reports. Peter borough has been identified as
:01:48. > :01:51.Britain's fastest`growing chty, but according to these figures from the
:01:52. > :01:54.City Council, there are mord than eight thousand homes with planning
:01:55. > :02:00.permission which aren't yet been built. It sounds like a high number.
:02:01. > :02:06.You do see a lot of construction around the area, which I assumed was
:02:07. > :02:10.a good thing because it was that houses people were going to buy I
:02:11. > :02:16.am sure the work could read on if they wanted to spend the money. It
:02:17. > :02:21.is quite expensive. I was in Liverpool and it is ?100 a lonth
:02:22. > :02:27.less than you pay here. One of the reasons prices are so high hs that
:02:28. > :02:34.there aren't enough homes. There is demand for at least 20,000 new homes
:02:35. > :02:36.each year in the East of England and large construction projects are
:02:37. > :02:40.needed to keep up with demand. Across the region there are sites
:02:41. > :02:47.with planning permission whdre the work has not begun. This derelict
:02:48. > :02:52.building on the docks in Ipswich has had planning permission for 64 flats
:02:53. > :02:57.since 2007, but work has not started yet. This site is owned by `n
:02:58. > :03:01.investor and he said he has not been able to find a developer to take it
:03:02. > :03:07.off his hands and build. But there are sites like this one standing
:03:08. > :03:10.empty across the East of England. But house`builders say delaxs are
:03:11. > :03:12.rarely down to them, and thd real problem is the red tape that
:03:13. > :03:18.developers need to get throtgh before they can stop work. Often,
:03:19. > :03:23.permission has attached to ht, are a whole lot of planning conditions.
:03:24. > :03:27.Some of those planning condhtions will have to be sorted out or
:03:28. > :03:37.discharged before the house`builder can start. But if they have a plan
:03:38. > :03:40.that is implementable, they will be on site very quickly. According to
:03:41. > :03:45.the City Council work startdd on 662 new homes in Peterborough l`st
:03:46. > :03:48.year, with more than ten tiles that number still waiting to be built,
:03:49. > :03:54.there are questions whether supplied can keep up with demand.
:03:55. > :03:57.Well the MP for Peterborough, Stewart Jackson, says Peterborough
:03:58. > :04:01.is in fact leading the way on providing housing but he told me
:04:02. > :04:05.earlier that more still needs to be done.
:04:06. > :04:11.Obviously, we have a signifhcant issue with our housing waithng list.
:04:12. > :04:17.We would like to see more good quality, mainly private sector
:04:18. > :04:21.housing being built. The pl`nning department has done quite wdll. The
:04:22. > :04:26.onus is on developers to take advantage of growing confiddnce and
:04:27. > :04:30.a growing economy, both loc`lly and nationally and get started on
:04:31. > :04:34.building homes quickly so wd can get more, particularly young people
:04:35. > :04:40.into homes they particularlx need and want. House`builders we have
:04:41. > :04:43.spoken to said it is a constant battle to get the planning
:04:44. > :04:47.permission and then they ard bombarded with red tape. Wh`t can be
:04:48. > :04:55.done to make things easier? We need to look if that could be a financial
:04:56. > :04:58.incentive, or a financial disincentive in the tax system for
:04:59. > :05:02.developers to sit on the land and not build. If you have strong civic
:05:03. > :05:06.leadership and a good plannhng department there is no reason you
:05:07. > :05:11.cannot build homes and go through the planning process quicklx.
:05:12. > :05:13.Developers need to understand the playing field has changed. They
:05:14. > :05:19.cannot put up dog standard houses. They have got to start lookhng at
:05:20. > :05:24.quality, pleasing Estates pdople want to live in and be proud to call
:05:25. > :05:32.their home. You say more can be done to ease this situation, practically,
:05:33. > :05:36.what can you do about it? There isn't a simple solution, thdre is
:05:37. > :05:39.much more to be done. If we are going to develop houses to get
:05:40. > :05:44.people off the housing waithng list we need to work together. I believe
:05:45. > :05:49.places like Milton Keynes and Peterborough are leading thd way.
:05:50. > :05:51.Stewart Jackson talking to le earlier.
:05:52. > :05:54.And you can get more about what s holding up the house building where
:05:55. > :05:57.you live on your BBC Local Radio Station's Breakfast Show tolorrow
:05:58. > :05:59.morning from 6:00am. And tolorrow in Look East, why small building
:06:00. > :06:05.companies are still strugglhng despite the upturn.
:06:06. > :06:08.Workers in Corby have held ` crisis meeting following the news that more
:06:09. > :06:11.than 500 jobs are to go at Solway Foods, one of the town's biggest
:06:12. > :06:15.employers. Today more talks took place between the company and unions
:06:16. > :06:18.over the future of the factory. Concerns were raised over the site
:06:19. > :06:23.and whether more job cuts are on the way. But for the hundreds now facing
:06:24. > :06:32.the prospect of unemployment, what can the town offer? Mike Cartwright
:06:33. > :06:35.reports. The team in charge of human
:06:36. > :06:40.re`sources at Solway. Now h`ndling more than 500 redundancies. They met
:06:41. > :06:48.unions, politicians, Jobcentre staff. Now helping to find those
:06:49. > :06:54.being laid off here, work elsewhere. There are new jobs being crdated in
:06:55. > :06:57.the town. Which words are creating 250 jobs and they are coming to
:06:58. > :07:03.Solway to talk to the workforce There is also a big job fair. It is
:07:04. > :07:07.difficult times for the workers and their families, but there are jobs
:07:08. > :07:13.being created locally and wd need to support people into those. This
:07:14. > 3:58:56weekend, worried workers held a rally. Solway Foods, one of the
3:58:57 > 3:58:56town's largest employers, a company supporting whole families hdre. I
3:58:57 > 3:58:56work there. Peter, my partndr works there and also my son. Thred wages
3:58:57 > 3:58:56we will lose in one family, which is going to be hard. Total dev`station,
3:58:57 > 3:58:56really because I am 56 this year, not getting any younger. It might be
3:58:57 > 3:58:56hard for me to get another job. I feel sorry for everybody th`t is
3:58:57 > 3:58:56losing their jobs. The big worry here is the job losses will become
3:58:57 > 3:58:56more like 900. Solway are trying to sell the site as a going concern. If
3:58:57 > 3:58:56they can't, it could close. In the last few years a number of big
3:58:57 > 3:58:56companies have said around 0500 jobs in Corby. Unemployment is 10.5%
3:58:57 > 3:58:56double the region's average. But manufacturing is rising providing
3:58:57 > 3:58:5627% of the jobs in the town, three times the national average. This
3:58:57 > 3:58:56recruitment consultant has thousands of workers on her books. Shd says
3:58:57 > 3:58:56there are jobs in this town for the Solway staff. They are coming out of
3:58:57 > 3:58:56their safety net so it is going to be very difficult. But they will
3:58:57 > 3:58:56find work if they want it. Ht might not be at the pay rate they have
3:58:57 > 3:58:56been used to because generally within the area, certainly through
3:58:57 > 3:58:56recruitment businesses, the work is national minimum wage. Stay or go,
3:58:57 > 3:58:56the final decision on this factory is expected within a fortnight.
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Next, the crime wave that's sweeping the region and netting conmdn a
3:58:57 > 3:58:56fortune. It's a telephone scam that gangs are using to persuade bank
3:58:57 > 3:58:56customers to hand over cash or credit cards. The latest victims
3:58:57 > 3:58:56include an 88`year`old woman from Cambridgeshire who lost ?5,000 and a
3:58:57 > 3:58:56man from Bedfordshire who lost ?15,000. In Essex the policd believe
3:58:57 > 3:58:56crooks have made nearly a third of a million pounds from the scal.
3:58:57 > 3:58:56I feel very cross because I could have given my children ?5,000 and
3:58:57 > 3:58:56they could have spent it wisely But I wouldn't believe anybody on the
3:58:57 > 3:58:56telephone any more. This pensioner is one of the latest victims of a
3:58:57 > 3:58:56highly plausible scam. Elderly people telephone, supposedlx by the
3:58:57 > 3:58:56police. They are told they `re targeted by credit card fratdsters.
3:58:57 > 3:58:56It is suggested they call the police and the bank themselves to verify it
3:58:57 > 3:58:56is not a scam. In fact, thex are being duped. After hanging tp the
3:58:57 > 3:58:56call, people phoned their b`nk and phoned their local police station to
3:58:57 > 3:58:56verify everything. They are reassured everything is OK. The
3:58:57 > 3:58:56trouble is, the conmen have the phone line open. People aren't
3:58:57 > 3:58:56talking to the police or thd bank, it is the conmen. Victims h`ve
3:58:57 > 3:58:56handed over in numbers, credit cards and some have handed up to ?10, 00
3:58:57 > 3:58:56in cash to careers, thinking they are helping the police condtct dinks
3:58:57 > 3:58:56sting operations. People ard losing money totalling over ?325,000. In
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Newmarket, taxi driver alerted the police after collecting a p`rcel
3:58:57 > 3:58:56containing ?3000. This courher company in Cambridge was duped into
3:58:57 > 3:58:56delivering a parcel of cash. The police commandeered the bikd to make
3:58:57 > 3:58:56the drop instead and made two arrests. It was an odd call, but a
3:58:57 > 3:58:56bit suspicious but we often get strange requests. Although ly
3:58:57 > 3:58:56courier had said before he left it sounds suspicious. The police say
3:58:57 > 3:58:56people should never give out bank details over the phone or p`rt with
3:58:57 > 3:58:56their cash. The police said criminals targeting people like this
3:58:57 > 3:58:56are despicable. It is so easily done.
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Commuter trains running frol Peterborough, King's Lynn and
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Cambridge are getting a facd lift with carriages redesigned and
3:58:57 > 3:58:56refurbished. It's part of a ?30 million programme by First Capital
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Connect to improve rail services on some of our busiest routes hnto
3:58:57 > 3:58:56London. One of the busiest lines in the country, 85,000 customers every
3:58:57 > 3:58:56working day. More passengers now than ever before. And that puts
3:58:57 > 3:58:56pressure on the system and hts 20`year`old rolling stock. Ht is
3:58:57 > 3:58:56difficult to plan my day around them. It is difficult. I was on one
3:58:57 > 3:58:56recently that looked fairly new but most of them look tatty. Thd old
3:58:57 > 3:58:56ones are pretty dirty, I thhnk. They weren't very good. They werdn't very
3:58:57 > 3:58:56comfortable. Any improvement has got to be good. That is what today is
3:58:57 > 3:58:56all about, unveiling the first in a fleet of newly revamped trahns to
3:58:57 > 3:58:56improve people's journeys. We do recognise some of our trains have
3:58:57 > 3:58:56been around for a while and that is why we are going through a programme
3:58:57 > 3:58:56of refurbishing the trains we have got. This is the first of 40 that
3:58:57 > 3:58:56will be refurbished on this route. The trains are being given ` new
3:58:57 > 3:58:56paint job inside and out, ndw seating and new flooring but also
3:58:57 > 3:58:56new motors underneath. Also a new door control system with thd doors
3:58:57 > 3:58:56getting the most use, if thdy break down, the train isn't going
3:58:57 > 3:58:56anywhere. In the long term, this is the future, and new trains which
3:58:57 > 3:58:56will arrive in 2017 with more space and climate control. In the
3:58:57 > 3:58:56meantime, the newly revamped trains will come online in the next two
3:58:57 > 3:58:56years. Meanwhile, there's a warning that
3:58:57 > 3:58:56passengers may soon have to queue to get onto trains at Milton Kdynes and
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Northampton. The chairman of HS , David Higgins, says the main line
3:58:57 > 3:58:56into London is already under pressure. He says HS2 would ease
3:58:57 > 3:58:56congestion and wants work on the project speeded up.
3:58:57 > 3:58:56A man has pleaded guilty to an arson attack on a mosque in Milton Keynes.
3:58:57 > 3:58:56He was charged with arson and a racially aggravated offence after a
3:58:57 > 3:58:56fire was started at the back of the mosque on Manor Road in Bletchley
3:58:57 > 3:58:56earlier this month. He is dte to be sentenced on the 2nd of May.
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Two police officers have bedn suspended over an alleged assault on
3:58:57 > 3:58:56an autistic man in a street in Luton. Faruk Ali's family claims he
3:58:57 > 3:58:56was injured when two officers grabbed him near his home l`st
3:58:57 > 3:58:56month. They say it was not the first time he'd been mistreated bx the
3:58:57 > 3:58:56police. Hampshire to try to establish what
3:58:57 > 3:58:56happened. time he'd been mistreated bx the
3:58:57 > 3:58:56police. Those are the top stories, I will be back at 10:25pm.
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Still to come, what makes a garden city? As the politicians pl`n a new
3:58:57 > 3:58:56one, we go to the original. Plus a Moroccan milestone for the teenage
3:58:57 > 3:58:56golfer Charley Hull and an tplifting day for her dad.
3:58:57 > 3:58:56With the Easter holidays now just a month away the water qualitx at two
3:58:57 > 3:58:56beaches in our region has officially been rated as 'poor'. The bdaches
3:58:57 > 3:58:56are at Clacton and Southend. It s all because of a newer, tougher
3:58:57 > 3:58:56directive from the EU. The rules mean the local council may have to
3:58:57 > 3:58:56put up warning signs. This is the West Beach at Clacton,
3:58:57 > 3:58:56close to the pier, where thd water quality is rated as poor. For years,
3:58:57 > 3:58:56it was fine, but now the European Union has moved goalposts. For 0
3:58:57 > 3:58:56years, there has been a dirdctive in place governing water quality, but
3:58:57 > 3:58:56you have now tightened the standards, with a view to ilproving
3:58:57 > 3:58:56the quality for public health `` VE you have. It is thought the problem
3:58:57 > 3:58:56is pigeon droppings. They roost under the pier. Since there was a
3:58:57 > 3:58:56cold last year, the water qtality has improved but that may not be
3:58:57 > 3:58:56enough to prevent the local authority to be forced to ptt up
3:58:57 > 3:58:56warning signs. People have gone in and swamp, and we have no instances
3:58:57 > 3:58:56of anybody being taken ill, so the signs go up, the beaches will still
3:58:57 > 3:58:56be open, people can still come on the beach and it will be up to them
3:58:57 > 3:58:56if they want to go in the w`ter At this beach in Southend, the water
3:58:57 > 3:58:56quality is also rated poor. Here the problem is different, drains which
3:58:57 > 3:58:56lead into the sea and shouldn't Anglia water say they have `lready
3:58:57 > 3:58:56spent a quarter of ?1 million trying to get on top of the problel. Back
3:58:57 > 3:58:56in Clacton, this family werd enjoying a day out on the Wdst
3:58:57 > 3:58:56beach. Did you know the watdr quality here was poor? We h`d no
3:58:57 > 3:58:56idea. There are no signs to say If you saw a sign saying that, what
3:58:57 > 3:58:56would you do? As a parent to me you would be a bit more concerndd, you
3:58:57 > 3:58:56would take heed. There are 01 beaches with blue flags and 21 with
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Seaside awards but the two `t Clacton and Southend are giving the
3:58:57 > 3:58:56authorities a real headache. The plan is to improve water qu`lity
3:58:57 > 3:58:56rather than put up warning signs. You learn a lot on the programme! Of
3:58:57 > 3:58:56all the things I didn't expdct. Pigeon droppings! On to sport now.
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Here's Phil. Two runners up and one disqualification to come, btt let's
3:58:57 > 3:58:56start with the weekend's big winner, Charley Hull, the golfer from
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Northamptonshire. She has won her first tournament on the Ladhes
3:58:57 > 3:58:56European Tour. The 17`year`old won the title in Morocco after ` play
3:58:57 > 3:58:56off. Our Sports Editor Jonathan Park reports. Ever since she set foot on
3:58:57 > 3:58:56a course, Charley Hull was destined to win on the big stage. Thd moment
3:58:57 > 3:58:56came in Morocco, sinking a four foot putt to claim her first tour title
3:58:57 > 3:58:56just inside her own deadlind. I wanted to win when I was 17, and I'm
3:58:57 > 3:58:56still 17, and I won! It is fantastic best birthday present can h`ve. She
3:58:57 > 3:58:56made her professional debut in the same competition a year ago,
3:58:57 > 3:58:56finishing runner up. This thme, a stunning closing round of 62 earned
3:58:57 > 3:58:56a play`off. It took just ond extra hole for her to claim the prize It
3:58:57 > 3:58:56was quite windy out there, to shoot nine under was fantastic. Hdr win
3:58:57 > 3:58:56was especially pleasing for her dad Dave will stop her right hand man
3:58:57 > 3:58:56took some finding ahead of the play`off. I couldn't find hhm,
3:58:57 > 3:58:56someone told the committee hs sunbathing! I was like dad, I'm in
3:58:57 > 3:58:56the play`off, I need your hdlp! Charley and dad Dave will h`ve many
3:58:57 > 3:58:56more days in the sun. This hs just the start one of golf's brightest
3:58:57 > 3:58:56stars. Onto Rugby Union and it's no fun coming second in a final but
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Northampton Director of Rugby Jim Mallinder says they've got lore
3:58:57 > 3:58:56battles to fight between now and the end of the season. Saints' 03`match
3:58:57 > 3:58:56unbeaten run came to an end when they lost the LV Cup final 05`8 to
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Exeter at Sandy Park yesterday. They welcome their England players back
3:58:57 > 3:58:56ahead of their push for the Premiership title and Challdnge Cup.
3:58:57 > 3:58:56We knew it was going to be difficult, they are a good sign and
3:58:57 > 3:58:56having a cup final at home was a massive incentive for them. So we
3:58:57 > 3:58:56are disappointed, but we have plenty to play for and we have our
3:58:57 > 3:58:56international players coming back over the next couple of days. So we
3:58:57 > 3:58:56need to build and the premidrship is very important for us. After all the
3:58:57 > 3:58:56worries in pre`season testing, it looked to have been a prettx decent
3:58:57 > 3:58:56start to the Formula One se`son for Milton Keynes based Red Bull. But
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Daniel Riccardo's second`pl`ced smile didn't last long. His World
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Champion team mate Sebastian Vettel only managed five laps before the
3:58:57 > 3:58:56car gave out on him, but Aussie Riccardo had better luck and
3:58:57 > 3:58:56finished just behind Northamptonshire's Mercedes, driven
3:58:57 > 3:58:56by Nico Rosberg, but he was later disqualified for breaching fuel
3:58:57 > 3:58:56consumption rules. Extremelx disappointed, quite surprisdd and we
3:58:57 > 3:58:56will of course appeal. Hopefully through the appeal process, it will
3:58:57 > 3:58:56be clear that the car has conformed at all times with the regul`tions.
3:58:57 > 3:58:56After coming out of retiremdnt to try and earn a spot at the tpcoming
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Commonwealth Games, Huntingdon's Louis Smith made an impresshve
3:58:57 > 3:58:56return this weekend. He camd second in the pommel horse at the Dnglish
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Gymnastic Championships in Wigan on Saturday, finishing behind Lax
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Whitlock from the South Essdx club.. His next target will be impressing
3:58:57 > 3:58:56the selectors again at the British Championships at the end of the
3:58:57 > 3:58:56month. I think I have done dnough to be considered. Now I need to keep on
3:58:57 > 3:58:56doing well and go to the Brhtish Championships and go to as lany
3:58:57 > 3:58:56competitions as I can and prove that I'm consistent, because that was one
3:58:57 > 3:58:56of my strongest things in the past, consistency in competition.
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Peterborough were the only footballing side to win in our
3:58:57 > 3:58:56region this weekend. You can catch all the highlights on Late Kick off
3:58:57 > 3:58:56tonight. And we meet the Assombalonga family as their son
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Britt leads the way in Leagte One for Posh, plus a look at wh`t's
3:58:57 > 3:58:56costing Ipswich dear in thehr push for promotion to the Premier League.
3:58:57 > 3:58:56That's BBC One tonight at 10.25pm. Nice to see Lewis Smith doing so
3:58:57 > 3:58:56well again, when you considdr we have that snake shot of him a few
3:58:57 > 3:58:56months ago falling off something! I would like to see Phil have a go!
3:58:57 > 3:58:56The Chancellor announced yesterday that he wants to build a new garden
3:58:57 > 3:58:56city ` 15,000 new homes in Kent at Ebbsfleet. But what exactly is a
3:58:57 > 3:58:56garden city and how do they work? Neil Bradford has spent the day in
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Letchworth. The oldest garddn city in the world.
3:58:57 > 3:58:56The fountains of Letchworth Garden City, I welcome from a town like no
3:58:57 > 3:58:56other. Designed in 1903, it aimed to blend the best of town and country.
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Today, it's green spaces ard just as prominent. For these mums, both
3:58:57 > 3:58:56originally from Germany, it's an attractive face to raise a family. I
3:58:57 > 3:58:56think Letchworth is a nice pace because of the plants, the nice
3:58:57 > 3:58:56gardens, maybe also the herhtage. It's a nice concept, the Grdens
3:58:57 > 3:58:56being able to walk with the kids etc. It's a great place to raise
3:58:57 > 3:58:56kids. The garden city is not just about green spaces. The original
3:58:57 > 3:58:56vision was also about health and well`being. In Letchworth, the
3:58:57 > 3:58:56town's trustees, the Heritage foundation, spent ?4.5 millhon on
3:58:57 > 3:58:56additional community servicds like this treatment centre, commtnity
3:58:57 > 3:58:56transport and even the cinela. We have a portfolio of propertx which
3:58:57 > 3:58:56brings in rent so we can brhng in the income to spend four thd
3:58:57 > 3:58:56communities in the town itsdlf, so we are a charitable organis`tion
3:58:57 > 3:58:56investing in health and well`being, recreation and leisure. We have a
3:58:57 > 3:58:56fantastic 30 mile leisure route that we put in, we planted and m`intained
3:58:57 > 3:58:56if people to cycle, run, . Ht's an important feature. We are able to do
3:58:57 > 3:58:56that at no cost to local residents. The announcement that a new garden
3:58:57 > 3:58:56city is being planned in Kent is being welcomed in Hertfordshire The
3:58:57 > 3:58:56custodians in Letchworth sax that its success of the 21st`century will
3:58:57 > 3:58:56depend on its truth to the Victorian vision and not its name. Thd
3:58:57 > 3:58:56line`macro a couple of interesting minutes there! Julie sneezed! Don't!
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Everything fell off! Well, not everything.
3:58:57 > 3:58:56We're hoping to make it through the weather with my belt intact. This
3:58:57 > 3:58:56could be a very long a couple of minutes. We start with a vidw
3:58:57 > 3:58:56pictures taken yesterday. This was the moon setting yesterday lorning.
3:58:57 > 3:58:56And then, Henry snapped this beautiful sunset in Norfolk, he is
3:58:57 > 3:58:56only 15, say thank you for that There was also a beautiful sunset
3:58:57 > 3:58:56captured here. Yesterday was glorious. Highs in the sunshine of
3:58:57 > 3:58:56around 19 Celsius. Our cooldr and cloudy day today but you can see
3:58:57 > 3:58:56that the cloud still broke `t times to allow some brightness. Overnight
3:58:57 > 3:58:56flight, we keep variable amounts of cloud, some clear spells, the
3:58:57 > 3:58:56thickness of the cloud may produce a little bit of light patchy rain but
3:58:57 > 3:58:56for most of us, dry night and it should a frost free night. We should
3:58:57 > 3:58:56stay frost free, the winds `re light to moderate. The cold front tomorrow
3:58:57 > 3:58:56pulls away to the east and xou notice the isobars are tightly
3:58:57 > 3:58:56packed so it's going to be ` windy day but it should get off to a
3:58:57 > 3:58:56fine, dry start on the hold of some brightness and sunshine comhng
3:58:57 > 3:58:56through. In the middle part of the day, some outbreaks of light and
3:58:57 > 3:58:56patchy rain to move eastwards. I don't think it'll amount for much
3:58:57 > 3:58:56and it won't be for everybody. We might get a degree or so higher in
3:58:57 > 3:58:56the best of any brightness `nd it will feel a lot chillier th`n these
3:58:57 > 3:58:56temperatures imply because we will have a fresh west to south`westerly
3:58:57 > 3:58:56wind. Through the afternoon in the rain should clear away and ht should
3:58:57 > 3:58:56become largely dry with somd of us hopefully seeing some brightness
3:58:57 > 3:58:56before it gets dark. Wednesday, it looks like another blustery day but
3:58:57 > 3:58:56it should be fine and dry whth some brightness and sunshine at times.
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Thursday, the winds pick up further. A very windy day expected. For many
3:58:57 > 3:58:56of us, the date could be largely fine and dry, the rain not pushing
3:58:57 > 3:58:56down from the North`West until fairly late on that it's solething
3:58:57 > 3:58:56we are keeping a close eye on, there is a fair amount of uncertahnty on
3:58:57 > 3:58:56that. It is likely to be sthll with us on Friday morning. Through
3:58:57 > 3:58:56Friday, it should become drher and bright and we will hopefullx see
3:58:57 > 3:58:56some sunshine coming through. You notice the temperature starting to
3:58:57 > 3:58:56come down, are much colder fields of things, I think by then overnight,
3:58:57 > 3:58:57it could be a return to frost. No snoozing! See you tomorrow.
