No new HQ for Northamptonshire Police as controversial plans | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
The best thing to do for the taxpayers of Northamptonshire that | :00:09. | :00:25. | |
drives the best value but is also good for the staff and provides the | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
certainty that was missing. Easing congestion and | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
boosting the economy... The new plans for the | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
Black Cat roundabout. The new living wage | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
and its impact on care homes... Many businesses say they'll | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
struggle to survive. And the region's top music venue | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
plays host to hundreds of schoolchildren hoping to hit | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
the right note in Ten months after agreeing to sell | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
its Wootton Hall headquarters, Northamptonshire Police has today | :00:46. | :01:10. | |
announced it wants to stay put. The previous Police | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
and Crime Commissioner, Adam Simmonds, agreed the sale | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
on his final day in the job. Now his successor has | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
done an about-turn. But first this report | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
from Tom Percival. This was meant to be the site | :01:19. | :01:26. | |
of a new headquarters for police and fire | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
services in Northamptonshire. Cherry Hall Road in Kettering | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
will still be built, but it will more longer now | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
be an HQ. Selling this site would have | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
netted the force three The then Police and Crime | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
Commissioner, Adam Simmonds, who approved the sale, | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
said a modern police force did not An HQ that holds onto 400 people | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
that are not actually police officers but back office staff, | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
is not necessary, they can be in police stations, | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
and other operational buildings. And this is a police HQ that is | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
quite remote from the public. Most of the public don't ever come | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
here, they would not know where it was, and it might | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
have a reputation for having thousands of police officers, | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
but it doesn't have that and it is not fit for | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
the 21st century any more. But ten months and one | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
new Police and Crime Now, Northamptonshire Police have | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
said they do need Wootton Hall It is not fit for purpose, | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
it is not fit for purpose now. What the PCC now, Stephen Mold, | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
has said is that he will That's an option that | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
was not available before. If we do nothing on this site | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
but leave it as it is, it will become even less fit | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
for purpose in the future. I am very excited about this | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
announcement because Stephen Mold has promised the investment | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
to develop this site, to make it a truly shared site, | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
creating new opportunities with us to work with the other emergency | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
services and with other partners to help us to better protect people | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
from harm in this county. Good news for police staff, though, | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
is bad news for Wootton Park School. The plan had been for it | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
to move into Wootton Hall That will no longer now happen, | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
meaning its students will continue to be taught in these temporary | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
classrooms, while plans are drawn up for a new permanent home elsewhere | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
on the Wootton Hall grounds. A site which ten months ago | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
was remote and not fit for purpose will now be retained, | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
and in some parts, rebuilt. Northamptonshire Police have said | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
that overall the decision not to leave Wootton Hall will actually | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
save money in the long term. But questions remain over how much | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
has been spent on legal fees in pursuit of an ambitious move | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
which will no longer happen. Earlier I spoke to Stephen Mold, | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
the current Police and Crime I asked him why he made | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
the decision to keep It's the best thing | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
to do for the taxpayers of Northamptonshire, | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
it drives the best value, but also it is good for the staff | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
and provides them certainty And thankfully, with the great | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
work we have been doing with the education funding | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
authority, it means that actually we can keep the school | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
there and we can build on the bonds that were originally | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
conceived for the idea. But this is a complete U-turn | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
on what your predecessor Adam Simmonds had planned, | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
it is quite a bold move, isn't it? Well, it was kind of | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
a situation that I inherited. The deal was signed on the afternoon | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
after I was elected but before I took office, and quite frankly, | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
I was given some significant costs And really, given the challenge | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
of keeping people safe in Northamptonshire, | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
it is right that we do the right thing, but also we get | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
to keep the school as well. So are you saying that the sale | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
was the wrong decision Let us put it this way, | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
it is not a decision I would have made had I been the Police | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
and Crime Commissioner at that time, otherwise we would not have made | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
the decision we have got now And what about the financial | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
implications here? How much money has already been | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
spent that could have been saved? To be honest, yes, there has been | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
some money that has been spent, But actually it is the human cost | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
that worries me more because actually we have created | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
uncertainty for police staff, it has How much confidence can the people | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
of Northamptonshire have in the decision that you have made | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
today given the fact that it is very different from the decision | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
that was made just last year? I think probably for the first time | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
we have a joint decision that is the right decision, | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
that means that we are better And also by saving an awful | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
lot of public money, because we were going to be spending | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
the best part of ?20 million decanting from Wootton Hall, with, | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
you know, additional money that would then need to be spent | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
to create a headquarters. That money can be put back | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
into front-line policing. Plans to alleviate congestion at one | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
of the region's busiest road junctions have been put out | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
to public consultation. Improvements at the Black Cat | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
roundabout on the A1 near St Neots and the dualling of the A428 | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
towards Cambridge would also bring economic benefits | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
as Nicola Haseler reports. The A1 is now queueing at the | :06:19. | :06:36. | |
approach to the roundabout. The approach is slow... The A1 is slow | :06:37. | :06:45. | |
as usual. BBC Three Counties Radio. If you regularly travel by road | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
around our region, you will have heard of the Black Cat roundabout. | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
It links Cambridge with Bedford, Milton Keynes on the M1. For those | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
who rely on it each day, the constant congestion is frustrating, | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
unsafe and costly. You go out there, any day of the week from about three | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
o'clock onwards, it is gridlock. But on a Friday, especially, from 2:30pm | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
you have to allow at least one more hour on your journey to go to | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
Cambridge, which had only to 40 minutes. Those who live in the | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
surrounding villages have said they are fed up of being used as a rat | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
run. It was a really nice village as now absolutely terrible. It is a rat | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
run right through to Cambridge. So we get car speeding through the | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
spillage. Going north and south it always avoid the Black Cat | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
roundabout because it is so often jammed up. Highways England is | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
proposing three different ideas, which could include removing the | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
roundabout and creating a motorway style junction. Building a new | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
section of dual carriageway to link it to the A428 and alarming the A1 | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
to freely underneath it. Well, all three of the options will relieve | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
this rush-hour congestion that has built up on all sides of the | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
roundabout and fixing the traffic problems here will be the start of | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
building the new Cambridge to Oxford Expressway, linking the east to the | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
west. Where one proposed route follows the existing A428, the other | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
two would run through the existing Cambridgeshire countryside. The two | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
existing options run through the local parish and people will be | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
concerned about that. The bottom line is that something must be done, | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
but not at any cost. We want to make sure that I was England listen to | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
what we have to say to them and actually select the appropriate | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
option. And you can give your views on the plans until April the 23rd. | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
Last night we shared the story of a new night shelter opening | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
in Northampton to cope with the increasing number | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
of people in our region sleeping on the streets. | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
Tonight we're at Milton Keynes' winter night shelter. | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
For many people it's their only chance to find somewhere | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
warm to sleep at night, but from next week it'll close. | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
Mike Cartwright is there for us tonight. | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
Mike. We filmed before the scheme got | :09:13. | :09:21. | |
underway in November and we are back before it finishes next week. This | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
is the old bus station which is now empty but if you are a rough sleeper | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
and Milton Keynes and you come here at 5:30pm they will assess you and | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
if you qualify they will bus you off the seven churches in this area you | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
can get a bed for the night. This is where they will be going tonight. It | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
is the Baptist church at Newport Pagnell, we were there earlier. Each | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
church can sleep around 15 people per night, they have around 450 | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
volunteers and this is the fifth season that this has been going. | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
These are the volunteers you tonight providing hot links and food before | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
they get bust. One of the volunteers is Jack Walker. Hello, Jack. He is | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
the pastor of the church we have just seen. Jack, the number of | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
homeless in this town is rising, why? Many reasons, one of which it | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
is harder to get housing benefit, less people are entitled to it. It | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
does not cover some of the rents. Half-life conspires against you, a | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
relationship breaks down and you do not have much in of friends and | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
family, you can end up on the street very easily. What needs to be done, | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
what more help? What we do here is merely a sticking plaster. We do it | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
because he can take people who have no money attached to them and there | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
is nothing else out there for them. And half of the guests we take, we | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
are the only hope. But we could do with doing this all year round or | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
something similar, and at the moment we do it for the anti-half months in | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
the worst of the winter. It finishes next week, what happens after that? | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
Well, we are working absolutely tirelessly to get people into | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
further accommodation during this period. If the worst comes to the | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
worst, we give people a tent and a four seasons the greenback which | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
does work and some of the churches will continue with the follow-up. | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
And some of the other organisations to. But it is grim. It is grim. Jack | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
Walker, thank you very much indeed. They will be leaving on their bosses | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
very soon, they get a hot meal, bed and breakfast. | :11:28. | :11:28. | |
But most will return here tomorrow night. Mike, thank you very much. | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
Beet farmers in the region have criticised the supermarket giant | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
Tesco for its decision to stop stocking Silver Spoon granulated | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
The brand made from processed sugar beet has been replaced | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
by rival Tate Lyle, which uses imported sugar cane. | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
The National Farmers' Union has described the move | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
as "hugely disappointing," as Kim Riley reports. | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
It's a familiar landmark, the British Sugar factory | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
Home to a plant that can produce four million 1 kg packs | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
Across the other side of the A14, a branch of Tesco. | :12:00. | :12:07. | |
So this superstore just could not be any closer | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
to the Silver Spoon production line, but that does not really make any | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
difference because if you pop in now, you're looking for a 1 kg | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
bag of granulated sugar, this is what you get. | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
That company's sugar cane is imported from around the globe. | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
The sugar beet industry behind Silver Spoon supports some | :12:28. | :12:29. | |
The company works with more than 3,000 growers and supplies 60% | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
Many consumers in the region will know that we produce sugar beet | :12:34. | :12:43. | |
to some of the highest standards in the world and it is processed | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
in some of the most efficient factories, so it is a good industry | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
and it is a pity that people do not have the opportunity to support it. | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
If it comes to buying sugar, what would influence you? | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
To be honest, I am not a big buyer of sugar in general, | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
Tesco are not stocking the Silver Spoon version now, | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
I would disagree with that because I would like to support | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
the local farmers and local the business, particularly | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
We tend not to buy a lot of sugar in bags like that anyway, | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
but we would particularly probably choose sugar beet to support | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
We probably should be thinking local, UK, rather | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
than cheaper and abroad, but that is Tesco, isn't it? | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
Tesco told us it aims to provide the best quality products and prices | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
to its customers in a way that is fair to both | :13:38. | :13:39. | |
It says it will continue to stock a combination of both Tate Lyle | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
Now to Stewart and Susie for the rest of the programme. | :13:47. | :14:08. | |
Stay with us for the hairdressers being trained to | :14:09. | :14:17. | |
spot signs of domestic violence in their clients. | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
Jules has got news of warmer weather to come. | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
And hundreds of young people from across the | :14:22. | :14:23. | |
region tuning up for the big concert tonight. | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
The Chancellor Philip Hammond presents his first Budget | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
and the care sector will be pinning its hopes on substantial help. | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
The ageing population and uncertainty over Brexit are both | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
combining to put pressure on council budgets. | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
But that's not all. The impact of the Living Wage | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
is already hitting the care home sector. | :14:47. | :14:47. | |
a pay increase is good news for people on low wages, | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
but the owners of some care homes say the added cost could force | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
Another busy morning at Langdon House in Cambridge. | :14:55. | :15:04. | |
51 people being cared for by up to 30 staff covering three | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
The home already pays them above the Living Wage, | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
with many people on up to ?10 per hour. | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
We ask all of our staff to take level 2 and level | :15:15. | :15:25. | |
And our managers have level 5 or degree qualifications. | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
But Langdon House is in a more privileged position | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
80% of its clients are privately funded, only 20% by the state. | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
Meaning with careful budget planning they can tackle the Living Wage rise | :15:41. | :15:42. | |
in salaries head on, or even ahead of time. | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
I think they are being confronted with, you know, | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
Do they need to change their business model? | :15:51. | :15:58. | |
Do they need to move into taking in a different type of client? | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
Do you think there are going to be some care homes that | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
And there are care homes who have closed nationally over the years. | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
Particularly small homes that won't be viable | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
East Anglian law firm Ashtons recently hosted | :16:13. | :16:21. | |
They asked care home bosses which would have more impact - | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
Unexpectedly, two thirds said the latter. | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
The main worry is how much councils will pay for care. | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
The amounts which local authorities are able to pay is much | :16:31. | :16:38. | |
lower than the rates which private people pay. | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
And as wages are the biggest component of fixed cost, | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
anything which drives up costs where revenue is following | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
These students hoping to go into the sector say better salaries | :16:49. | :16:59. | |
would encourage more people to do the same. | :17:00. | :17:01. | |
There are things in the health care job that people don't want to do. | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
Who doesn't like more money, I suppose? | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
But it is, yeah, it sounds like a really good idea. | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
Hopefully, it will tempt more people into the care system. | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
With an ageing population, the demand for care home places | :17:14. | :17:15. | |
The fear is, if managers haven't planned for the salary changes | :17:16. | :17:22. | |
forecast for the next three years, their businesses may not survive. | :17:23. | :17:30. | |
Our political correspondent Andrew Sinclair is here...the | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
Chancellor will talk about social care tomorrow won't he? | :17:33. | :17:40. | |
Yes, he was criticised in the Autumn Statement for not talking about | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
social care. Everyone's council tax is going up next month to help pay | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
for it. And yet, all the extra money is just a drop in the ocean. Partly | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
because of the increase in the National Living Wage. Essex, the | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
money through council tax will buy 11 days extra social care. We will | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
are told we will get an announcement tomorrow about the future funding of | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
social care. What else can we expect? The budget is likely to be | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
big picture stuff. Not expecting big local announcements. Mainly because | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
all the money for roads, rail and the like has been allocated for the | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
foreseeable future. Perhaps extra money for Denbighshire because of | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
devolution. Backtracking business rates which has upset businesses in | :18:34. | :18:41. | |
our region. -- Cambridgeshire. And also this extra money for free | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
schools and grammar schools. We won't get details tomorrow. But | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
increasingly I am hearing speculation that those schools could | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
be set up in places like Norfolk and Suffolk, and I think we will talk | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
about this issue in the next year or so. | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
For some women, a trip to the hairdressers is an opportunity - | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
not just for a new look - it's chance to have a natter | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
I know my hairdresser hears all sorts of stuff. | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
It can be something very personal, something quite dark. | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
When things are not going well at home, | :19:12. | :19:13. | |
the special relationship between client and hairdresser | :19:14. | :19:15. | |
is being seen as a way of tackling domestic abuse. | :19:16. | :19:17. | |
So do you always go to the same hairdresser or do you | :19:18. | :19:29. | |
For many, going to a hair salon isn't just a chance | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
Sometimes my clients will sort of share their problems with me. | :19:34. | :19:43. | |
If you can help at all, and you'll kind of advise them | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
of something that has happened in my life and say, well, | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
You know, you do kind of share problems, definitely. | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
If you can confide in someone and sort of talk to them | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
about anything, it's better than hiding these things in. | :19:57. | :19:58. | |
I really do think it will benefit a lot of women that perhaps don't | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
To Illinois, where law makers have proposed a new approach | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
They are looking to the beauty profession to help spot | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
It is thought to be the first law of its kind in America. | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
It requires hairdressers to undergo training to recognise | :20:14. | :20:15. | |
Now, this salon in Norwich has taken up the idea. | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
In November, when I saw that Illinois in the USA has brought | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
about a landmark decision to request that hairdressers are trained | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
in domestic abuse, I decided that it would be a good opportunity for me | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
to bring the two areas of my life together, | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
owning a hair salon and working for Leeway. | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
And what kind of signs are you looking for? | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
It would be more of if a client feels that they can confide | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
in their hairdresser and tell them about the experiences | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
The idea here is supported by Leeway, which helps those | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
The most dangerous point in any relationship where there | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
is domestic abuse happening is the point of leaving. | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
So the hairdressers will be able to support that person, | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
explain that this is a dangerous time, and that there | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
And in order to get that help, they can signpost them. | :21:11. | :21:19. | |
Hairdressers are not being asked to become therapists, | :21:20. | :21:21. | |
just to encourage their clients to get help. | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
Every year - at about this time of the year - | :21:25. | :21:45. | |
the music venue Snape Maltings in Suffolk has hosted | :21:46. | :21:47. | |
And they wanted to make it a bit special. | :21:48. | :21:55. | |
Will be taking part in rehearsals and a nightly concert. | :21:56. | :22:03. | |
Snape Maltings, what an amazing venue for a school music concert. | :22:04. | :22:18. | |
Children already up on stage hair ready to go on and on in just a few | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
minutes time. If you look at the statistics here at Snape Maltings | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
over history, 45,000 schoolchildren have performed on the stage. 90,000 | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
people have come here to see them. Over the years, some of the greatest | :22:35. | :22:58. | |
names in classical music have performed at Snape Maltings. | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
Alongside them, since 1987 pupils from Southwark have performed. It | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
has become a much loved annual event, a celebration. This is the | :23:10. | :23:22. | |
choir from Claydon high school. I am a keen musician. I play piano and | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
guitar. We wear at two make a song for the celebration. -- we were | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
asked to make a song. Its field the criteria and I was really excited to | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
do the event. When our music has got told it was an opportunity, I | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
thought that it was a great opportunity and something I really | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
wanted to do. Performing at a big venue like Snape Maltings is a great | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
opportunity to show what we can do. This year, a fresh challenge. Every | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
school has to learn a new specially commissioned 30th anniversary song | :24:02. | :24:03. | |
-- 30th anniversary It is called I Wage. The logistics | :24:04. | :24:18. | |
are crazy. Some of the songs are only hearing the song for the first | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
time. There are six different parts to piece together in a short space | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
of time. And then one hour on the stage to sew it altogether. Maybe | :24:27. | :24:33. | |
talk to me tomorrow! Today is a personal milestone for the head of | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
the county music service, Philip Shaw, who started these causes 30 | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
years ago. Now, teachers bringing students here once performed | :24:45. | :24:51. | |
themselves. Just to enjoy stepping out here in this incredibly | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
inspiring place, you remember your De Gea at dandelion. -- De Gea at | :24:59. | :25:09. | |
Snape Maltings. This venue given over to the children for one special | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
day. Concerts every evening till | :25:14. | :25:22. | |
Saturday. Tonight, it kicks off in around seven minutes time. | :25:23. | :25:32. | |
A sunny start to the day. HIV-1, too. At the Norfolk- Suffolk border. | :25:33. | :25:55. | |
The satellite picture shows why we had the best of the sunshine. That | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
helped temperatures up to around nine Celsius. We could see | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
temperatures tonight falling as low as two or three Celsius. And then, | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
cloud thickening up and out rates of rain moving eastwards. Some of these | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
on the heavy side. One of those nights where after the temperatures | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
fall to around two Celsius, they should right again with mild air. Up | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
to seven or eight Celsius. A mild end to the night. Tomorrowweather | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
dependent on weather front. A nightmare to work out how quickly it | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
will equip tomorrow. As it stands, a lot of cloud with further outbreaks | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
of rain on and off throughout the day. But by this transaction also. | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
Probably the best of that further north. With the cloud and the rain, | :26:43. | :26:49. | |
temperatures could get up to around 12 Celsius. 13 or 14 in the | :26:50. | :26:56. | |
sunshine. And like to wind. In the Sergeant, a thousand. -- very | :26:57. | :27:08. | |
pleasant in the Sergeant. Some of us holding onto more cloud than others. | :27:09. | :27:15. | |
On the whole, a dry day on Thursday. Friday is looking largely cloudy | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
with some outbreaks of many light or patchy rain. If we are going to see | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
by this and sunshine, later on. In the weekend, the rain should clear | :27:27. | :27:39. | |
and decent sunny spells developing. Excellent, thanks. Goodbye. | :27:40. | :27:43. |
