I think the decision to givd this individual license is surprhsing and | :00:07. | :00:22. | |
inexplicable. A suspended jail sentence | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
for the former councillor convicted We will be here later in with the | :00:25. | :00:34. | |
rise of the unpaid specials at the expense of the paid PCS alls. | :00:35. | :00:40. | |

Warburton. The Mayor of Milton Keynes has | :00:49. | :00:57. | |
resigned after vouching for the character of a taxi driver with four | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
sexual convictions including rape. Subhan Shafiq said he had no | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
alternative after losing The case revolves | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
around the application The committee that grants lhcences | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
knew of the convictions which dated from 1993 but after a character | :01:08. | :01:20. | |
reference from the Mayor gr`nted In 2012 | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
the council was contacted whth Officers suspended | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
the driver's licence, but in May It was only earlier this month | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
after a review of licensing arrangements and a letter | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
from a member of the public that The review also found seven other | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
drivers who gave cause for concern, one of whom has surrendered | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
his licence. The Chair of the Licensing | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
Committee, Stuart Burke, and the Vice Chair, Gladstone Mackenzie | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
have resigned their positions. Well, earlier this afternoon I spoke | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
to the Chief Executive of the Council, Carole Mills, and `sked her | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
how this had been allowed to happen. She told me they had moved puickly | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
when the alarm was raised. That investigation revealed that | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
the regulation, or the regulatory panel, had on two | :02:05. | :02:05. | |
occasions had all the inforlation before it but nonetheless ddcided to | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
issue a taxi licence, There are two occasion therd | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
which you have identified They knew he had | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
these convictions. All information was given to them, | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
that is right. I am not here to justify it, | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
I find it inexplicable. It does appear there are huge | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
failings with this system. The system itself brings to | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
the attention of the decision`makers all the information they nedd, | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
but on this occasion, for rdasons I cannot explain ` you would | :02:40. | :02:49. | |
have to ask the decision makers What we have done is change | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
procedures and processes to avoid this sort | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
of thing from happening agahn. We are doing a full investigation | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
of all taxi drivers to check Any taxi driver that is found to | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
have an undisclosed criminal conviction | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
will actually be reviewed, their licence suspended and they will be | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
invited in for interviews so we can The review so far has revealed | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
another seven taxi drivers Nothing on the order of magnitude of | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
the one`week talks about earlier. Of those seven, one taxi drhver has | :03:16. | :03:25. | |
already handed back his licdnce and plates, the other six h`ve been | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
invited for interview There will be people watching this, | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
certainly people living in Milton Keynes ` what reassurances | :03:35. | :03:43. | |
can you give them that if they get into a taxi now they don't know | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
whether they are safe or not? We have 1300 drivers with | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
licences in Milton Keynes. The vast majority of those drivers | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
will be law`abiding, decent, We are talking about | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
a few taxi drivers where thdre The one where we had the grdatest | :03:56. | :04:06. | |
concern we have immediately revoked his licence and officers th`t | :04:07. | :04:15. | |
decision with full cross`party support of senior politicians and | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
reacted swiftly to deal with that. The public has to make their own | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
decisions about what they do. It is important to remember most | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
taxi drivers are perfectly fine and legal and honest | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
and doing a good job and thdy make an important contribution to | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
the economy of our city. It is probably safer than w`lking at | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
the dead of night or late at night. A councillor and former mayor | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
of Wisbech has been given a suspended jail term of 21 months | :04:42. | :04:42. | |
for possession of a firearm. Jonathan Farmer was found gtilty | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
by a jury in July. That was taken from a German officer | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
and given to him 30 years ago. Mr Farmer was in court | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
for sentencing today. Amanda Moore used to sitting in a | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
cancelled timber than the dock, Jonathan Farmer arriving in court. | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
In July a jury found him guhlty of illegally possessing a fire`rm that | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
police found in his home. It was Walter P PK from the Second World | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
War given to him by a veter`n. At the Battle of Montesinos they | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
captured a German officer and this weapon was taken from him. | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
Subsequently he had it at hhs house and passed it to me, probably around | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
30 years ago. It has been s`t in a cupboard in my house ever shnce | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
Shortly after speaking to us, Mr Farmer was in the dock in court to | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
hear his sentence `21 months. He will not go to prison because it was | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
suspended. The judge said there was a low risk of reoffending. He said | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
to Mr Farmer, you are a full and an arrogant man, though not a | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
criminal. He said it was reprehensibld that Mr | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
Farmer had failed to check the gun was deactivated or to consider the | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
risk of it falling into the wrong hands. | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
Arguably, fair comment! You can be built with hindshght | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
but, you know, and I applied common sense at any stage I should have got | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
the thing checked out. He has also been ordered to do 50 | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
hours of unpaid work and pax ?2 00 in costs. | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
It sends a message to the ptblic that the police will actively pursue | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
people found to be in possession of prohibited weapons and we whll take | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
those people to court for that possession. | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
Mr Farmer automatically losds his seat on both Benlate district and | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
Wisbech can delete town councils. The gun must be professionally | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
deactivated and given to a luseum within six months or be destroyed. | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
The East of England Ambulance Service has been fined ?1.5 million | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
for poor response times and poor turnaround times at hospitals. | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
It's been levied by Clinical Commissioning Groups | :06:56. | :06:56. | |
across the eastern region, the local bodies that buy NHS | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
This is a ?1.5 million fine which could yet get even bigger. The East | :07:00. | :07:16. | |
of England ambulance trust serves 19 Clinical Commissioning Groups across | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
the East. They are the groups of local GPs who now by NHS services on | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
behalf of patients. These 18 groups say ambulance performance h`s been | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
too slow and when that happdns finds are levied. The fine is splht into | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
two parts. ?1.2 million is for slow responses to 999 calls. The East of | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
England are 1's trust failed to reach 75% of life`threatening | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
emergencies within eight minutes. ?300,000 is for hospital turnaround | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
delays, the time people havd to wait in an ambulance outside acchdent and | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
emergency. Last year, 29,000 people work at waiting for more th`n 3 | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
minutes. 3700 were kept waiting for more than one hour. In a st`tement, | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
the trust told Luke East, wd're working hard to turnaround the | :08:09. | :08:09. | |
Ambulance Service... As we get closer to the end of the | :08:10. | :08:23. | |
year, we will be working closely with commissioners to discuss the | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
impact of any fines and how these may be managed. | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
The Ambulance Service will have to pay the ?300,000 turnaround fine | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
now, but the fine for emergdncy responses only covers the fhrst | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
three months of this financhal year, and it could get bigger. | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
What could be Silverstone's last British Moto GP race is | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
Around 150,000 people are expected at the Northamptonshire circuit | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
The race's organisers are planning to move it to Wales. | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
Paul Scoins has been looking at the implications of that decision. | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
If you're in the Silverstone area this wdekend, | :08:56. | :08:56. | |
expect to see lots of motorbikes ` hundreds of them, in fact. | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
Racing at 200 mph just inchds from the ground, Silverstone has been the | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
home of MotoGP for the last four years. It doesn't make any loney for | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
the circuit, but bosses say it is the local area that benefits. | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
The impact is immense. We do not have specific figures for MotoGP, | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
but if you look around the world at other countries, they are s`ying the | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
impact is somewhere between ten million and 20 million euros. | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
After Formula One, MotoGP is the second largest event at Silverstone, | :09:32. | :09:39. | |
but it could now be off to Wales. Last year, 150,000 fans attdnded the | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
MotoGP from all over the cotntry. Fans say that Silverstone is not | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
circuit like no other. It is the atmosphere. We usdd to go | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
to Donington, there is another atmosphere there. It is an old | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
circuit with character. I think it is a massive shale, not | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
just for Silverstone but all the local businesses. Where we `re | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
staying at the moment, what that means for them next year if it is | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
not here, that is a massive consequence. | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
The money made this weekend for businesses which spring up during | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
the Grand Prix helps them ott for the rest of the year. | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
We are small farmers, arabld and livestock, and at the moment the | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
camping we do, we depend on it to keep us afloat. To lose it would | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
have a big impact on us. In Silverstone village, motorsport | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
is in the blood, and that, supporters say, is why the Grand | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
Prix should remain. I cannot see how it could m`ke | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
economic sense to spend ?280 million in the valleys of Wales to build a | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
motorsport circuit when othdr circuits around the world whthout | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
government aid are struggling. It may not be the `` negoti`tions | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
are ongoing to secure anothdr year's racing whilst the circuit in | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
Wales is built. `` it may not be the end. | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
Farms, businesses and homeowners in the Fens are still counthng | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
the cost of the floods that hit the region three weeks ago. | :11:09. | :11:10. | |
Crops have been ruined and some people are still not back | :11:11. | :11:12. | |
40 acres, 1,000 tonnes of potatoes ruined. | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
This the result of flash floods in the Fens three weeks ago. | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
For Patrick Clabon there is no compensation ` all he can do | :11:17. | :11:25. | |
Devastating, really, because it is a year's work that has | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
We have basically worked a xear for nothing. | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
I should imagine that today's value is we have lost ?100,000 | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
It was not just crops destroyed homes | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
This butcher's in Upwell suffered thousands | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
of pounds of damage when water poured in through the back door | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
In the end, it was still raining at 5:30pm, | :11:48. | :11:58. | |
so we just had to wade throtgh the water. | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
Very deep in the end, because our daughter and her husband, mx mum's | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
carer and John and Vivian, they had 80 buckets of water out of here | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
A deluge of rain, not helped by the remains | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
of Hurricane Bertha, left ndarly 30 homes underwater in Upwell `nd many | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
Three weeks on, the damage is clear ` thous`nds | :12:19. | :12:27. | |
of pounds of flooring needs replacing and many homes ard still | :12:28. | :12:29. | |
One family I know would like to return to their homd | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
and they are waiting for a caravan to come on site. | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
The sooner they can get it, the sooner they can get back. | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
Patrick Clabon says he meastred 120 millimetres of rain. | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
It took two weeks for the water to drain, in places | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
Some homeowners have applied for a grant from a local flood fund, | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
but for farmers here it is ` case of carrying on and hoping this act | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
One of the region's lesser known fdstivals | :13:02. | :13:10. | |
The Lode Star festival near Cambridge attracts thotsands | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
It's the sixth year of the festival, which prides itself on hosthng a mix | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
The likes of FEMME and Delaxs are headlining the main stage. | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
The Radio Cambridgeshire mid`morning presenter Andie Harper hung up | :13:26. | :13:27. | |
his headphones for the last time today after 24 years | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
He started with Radio Cambrhdgeshire doing sports reports in 1990 | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
And since 2003 he's presentdd the mid`morning show creating | :13:36. | :13:46. | |
Later Julie has the weather, but now it's time to hand you back | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
Still to come, a road movie featuring a folk band and a B road. | :13:54. | :14:13. | |
And why Monty is still the laster. Figures obtained by Look East show | :14:14. | :14:24. | |
the number of police communhty support officers has fallen across | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
the region over the last five years. At the same time, the number | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
of Special Constables has gone up. Of course, PCSOs get paid, | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
specials don't. In Cambridgeshire, for example, | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
there are currently 136 PCSOs compared to 289 Special Constables, | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
So what's the difference between the two? | :14:40. | :14:48. | |
And does it show that we're getting policing on the che`p? | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
Louise Hubball has tonight's special report. | :14:53. | :15:00. | |
In the modern police force, officers are backed up by police comlunity | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
support officers. And speci`l constables, unpaid volunteers. Every | :15:08. | :15:18. | |
Friday, Tony is in uniform `nd the rest of the week he is doing his day | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
job, and he believes this work helps with policing. I am meeting with | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
people and interacting with them so there are lot of interpersonal | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
skills that you require, and it is the same as the police. And it is | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
something his clients approve of. It gives us plenty to talk abott. As a | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
special constable, he focusds on rural crime. Within that farm | :15:45. | :15:52. | |
building you have livestock and tools... The number of police | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
community support officers has gone down, and it is not just here in | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
Cambridgeshire. In the last five years, police forces have bden | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
reducing their numbers of PCS alls. The figures for the specials are | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
more complex with numbers in some areas going up. This voluntder says | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
it is not all about cutting costs. Certain people enjoy giving their | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
time. I give my time and do not feel it is policing on the cheap but is | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
about connecting again with the community. And despite needhng to | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
make savings of ?25 million, Cambs police say the recruitment decision | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
is not driven by money. Havhng a special Constabulary is fundamental | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
to policing and has been in place for years. We want to recruht people | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
who want to be a part of policing in their local area so we are | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
introducing specialist roles, whether that is child abuse | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
investigation or major crimd, to give people a clear path with the | :17:01. | :17:08. | |
special Constabulary. This force will always employ dedicated | :17:09. | :17:10. | |
individuals prepared to a challenging job without being paid. | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
In golf, Colin Montgomerie hs the hot favourite to defend his Masters | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
title at Woburn this weekend. And with the European Ryder Cup | :17:20. | :17:21. | |
team announced next week, sdlection is the hot topic of debate. | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
Tom Williams has spent the day on the Duke's Course at Wobtrn. | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
Welcome to Woburn. Huge crowds expected over the three | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
days of the Travis Perkins lasters. Winding down | :17:36. | :17:37. | |
in the hospitality area aftdr a tricky opening day for the players. | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
The scoreboard is behind me and it's a very familiar name on the top | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
Colin Montgomerie four under par today. | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
He's a past Ryder Cup captahn and that really is the top topic | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
of debate this week, who will be selected | :17:54. | :17:54. | |
in the team next Tuesday. It's become a Who's Who of golf | :17:55. | :18:05. | |
The European senior tour brimming with talent. | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
Ryder Cup legends as compethtive and as classy as ever, this week | :18:09. | :18:16. | |
eyeing up more silverware. With the next Ryder Cup just | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
a month away, the race for selection is tight and tense. | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
After failing to qualify, Woburn's finest needs a captain's pick. | :18:22. | :18:30. | |
Ian Poulter has been a talisman in the last couple of matches, can | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
you imagine the team without him? I cannot. | :18:34. | :18:34. | |
Since 2012, it should not have "Europe" | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
but "Ian Poulter" written on it It was unbelievable. | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
If he didn't get a wild card everyone would boycott | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
the Ryder Cup. the Ryder Cup. | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
In recent Ryder Cups, he has been Europe's top points scorer | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
His points and passion are priceless. | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
He would be tough to leave out but he is in the mix | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
along with several other pl`yers. Stevie Gallacher can play | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
his way into the team if he gets in the top two and | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
Francesco Molinari is in thd mix. Lots of players have their hands | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
up looking for the spot. The focus for | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
the seniors this week is thd Travis Perkins title, showing the world | :19:15. | :19:15. | |
that they are still the Masters Well played today. | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
Thank you, it was difficult, the winds were swirling | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
and the green was soft, verx difficult to get close to the hole. | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
I'm delighted to get in at 68 and the wind is still up | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
so it will be difficult. Defending champion this week | :19:38. | :19:39. | |
and a couple of majors alre`dy this year, you are red hot? | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
Neither red nor hot but delhghted with how the year has gone. | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
Just because we have turned 50 does not | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
mean we cannot play golf anx more and the standard is great and I am | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
looking forward to the challenge. As | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
a former Ryder Cup captain xou know where Paul McGinley is this week. | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
Next week there is confirmation What will be going through his mind? | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
It is not easy because you will have to sax someone | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
that I think you are better than you and that is never easy | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
in golf terms because we all think we're better than everyone dlse | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
It is one man's opinion and I think he will make thd | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
decisions for the sake of the team decisions for the sake of the team | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
and we will get the 12 playdrs. Everyone here at Woburn is | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
desperate to see their local man Ian Poulter. | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
Tough to leave him out? I think he is guaranteed, although | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
he is not had a great summer. It would be very difficult to think | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
of a Ryder Cup team without Ian Poulter in it. | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
Thanks ever so much. Best of luck over the weekend. | :20:51. | :21:02. | |
The weaher I think is set to be fair over the weekend | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
and certainly, Montgomerie will be the man to beat. | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
Now how many songs do you know about roads? | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
Route 66? Highway to Hell? | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
How about the B1159 in Norfolk? It's the coast road between Cromer | :21:15. | :21:16. | |
and Great Yarmouth. And a folk band called | :21:17. | :21:18. | |
Addison's Uncle has just released a new anthem in its honour. | :21:19. | :21:44. | |
Addison's Uncle with an acotstic version of the B1159. Why the | :21:45. | :21:56. | |
B1159? That is down to the singer songwriter. He would insist on | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
taking this stupid route hole, which took ages, and sometimes yot just | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
want to get back home. That frustration led to the solvdnt. | :22:06. | :22:21. | |
Laid`back song. There is a very chirpy video to accompany the single | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
and Addison's Uncle are also making a good reputation as a great live | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
band. We tend to come across as we did in the music video, havhng a | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
good time and having some ftn and it is good getting the crowd lhstening | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
and involved, and there are a lot of singalong parts. | :22:42. | :22:49. | |
The band has been compared to Mumford and Sons. I take thd | :22:50. | :23:02. | |
comparison well and they have had phenomenal success. To be compared | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
to anyone like that is a luxury The song is available for dhgital | :23:08. | :23:25. | |
download and they have an album out at the end of September. | :23:26. | :23:33. | |
If you've come in late a relinder of today's big political story. | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
The UK Independence Party ldader Nigel Farage on walkabout in Clacton | :23:41. | :23:42. | |
today to show off Douglas C`rswell, today to show off Douglas C`rswell, | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
the Tory who has defected to UKIP and forced a by`election in Essex. | :23:46. | :23:53. | |
So what does that mean for the rest of the East, | :23:54. | :23:55. | |
a region which some say is the most a region which some say is the most | :23:56. | :23:57. | |
Eurosceptic in the country. Our political correspondent | :23:58. | :23:58. | |
Andrew Sinclair is here. We are getting close to the general | :23:59. | :24:08. | |
election, the economy is improving and it will be a chance to comment | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
on the popularity of the government, but there is far more to it than | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
that, because UKIP have a f`irly good chance of winning the seat | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
Nationally that could be big, but locally, UKIP has a big presence in | :24:21. | :24:28. | |
the region, and if they can or cannot take Clacton, what does that | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
say about other parts of Essex? And if Douglas Carswell can pull it off | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
in Clacton, what about other MPs from our region who have bedn linked | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
with UKIP in the past? Will they now be tempted to jump ship? Whoever | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
wins the selection, it will be remembered. UKIP looked verx | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
confident, can they do it? They do, but they have never seriously fought | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
Clacton before, and statisthcally nobody is really too sure what can | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
happen. Douglas Carswell's popularity and the demographic means | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
Tories have a 12,000 majority so Tories have a 12,000 majority so | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
should be favourites. One bht of late news, Labour has chosen its | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
candidate, Tim Young, a Colchester counsellor. This will be gohng on | :25:23. | :25:30. | |
every day for weeks six lets get the weather. | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
Certainly blustery today and we have had this system moving in from the | :25:38. | :25:45. | |
west. The thicker cloud and rain will continue east were swept most | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
of the rain light and patchx but we cannot rule out some heavy | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
downpours. Not particularly cold with temperatures no lower than 15 | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
Celsius. The when this tenddd to ease down a touch but remaining | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
moderates. The frontal systdm moves in and we have a low pressure to the | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
North and high pressure frol the south`west. This north`westdrly flow | :26:12. | :26:18. | |
is likely to feed a few showers so the overnight rain should clear from | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
the east and we are left with largely dry conditions. We could | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
have a few showers speeding through, most of the light side, but a sharp | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
one he ran clear. Temperatures around 20 Celsius. A mainly moderate | :26:33. | :26:40. | |
westerly wind and we finishdd the day with a few showers but ` lot of | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
fine and dry weather. We can look at the pressure chart and Sund`y still | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
looks like having high pressure from the West but Monday into Tudsday, | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
still a certain amount of uncertainty, but this is actually | :26:58. | :27:05. | |
the tail end of a front associated what a hurricane, and if it moves | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
over the top of us, we could have a lot more cloud and outbreaks of | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
rain. Saturday, a few showers but mostly dry and Sunday is looking guy | :27:17. | :27:23. | |
everywhere. Monday and Tuesday, depending on what happens, high | :27:24. | :27:25. | |
pressure is still with us btt we could have a lot of cloud and | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
outbreaks of rain, and we'rd not sure about amounts of sunshhne. Keep | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
an eye on the forecast. Goodbye From all of us, whatever yot're | :27:34. | :27:41. | |
doing this weekend, see you next week. | :27:42. | :27:45. |
