Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.

:00:00.:00:51.

Today's findings will do little to allay the concerns of embattled

:00:52.:00:53.

Already facing a judicial review over its safety procedures,

:00:54.:00:57.

Woodhill's high suicide rate has now prompted calls for better staffing.

:00:58.:01:00.

The report underlines the prison's ongoing problems with recruitment.

:01:01.:01:02.

Inspectors found the mental health team was insufficiently staffed,

:01:03.:01:04.

with just three registered nurses and one lead clinician.

:01:05.:01:06.

Half the roles within the main healthcare team remain unfilled.

:01:07.:01:09.

The conclusion - that there was a potential risk to patients.

:01:10.:01:11.

There are glimmers of hope in this report.

:01:12.:01:13.

There are plans, for instance, to open a specialist 12-bed mental

:01:14.:01:16.

health care unit and all prisoners entering Woodhill at the weekend

:01:17.:01:18.

are assessed for signs of mental illness -

:01:19.:01:20.

an improvement, inspectors say, on the previous regime.

:01:21.:01:22.

Mental-health staffing and the staffing complement,

:01:23.:01:24.

whilst essential to delivering appropriate interventions,

:01:25.:01:25.

If it was an easy question, we would be able to solve

:01:26.:01:29.

What we see is an ageing population, we see an increasing number of novel

:01:30.:01:34.

psychoactive substances within our prisons, including Bice,

:01:35.:01:51.

including -- spice, which we see

:01:52.:01:53.

And also the complexity of the environment.

:01:54.:01:55.

That's there in mind that this is a category a male prison.

:01:56.:01:58.

Therefore, the complexities of the prison, the complexities

:01:59.:02:00.

of the environment are slightly unique in themselves.

:02:01.:02:02.

Improvements that came too late for Kevin Scarlett.

:02:03.:02:04.

Found hanging in his prison cell in 2013, an inquest

:02:05.:02:06.

found the 30-year-old, who had a history of mental illness,

:02:07.:02:09.

Nobody actually believes that he wanted to kill himself -

:02:10.:02:12.

The prison guards should have found him, should have

:02:13.:02:16.

treated him medically, and then should have dealt

:02:17.:02:18.

Last year, it emerged Woodhill Prison had recorded

:02:19.:02:21.

the highest suicide rate amongst inmates over the past three years.

:02:22.:02:23.

The authors of today's report seemed to suggest those numbers could drop

:02:24.:02:26.

Mousumi Bakshi, BBC Look East, Milton Keynes.

:02:27.:02:33.

A huge housing, leisure and retail complex has been granted planning

:02:34.:02:35.

permission on the site of Luton's old Vauxhall car plant.

:02:36.:02:43.

the site will also include a new medical centre.

:02:44.:02:47.

This, is a vision for Napier Gateway, a mix of nearly 700

:02:48.:02:52.

one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, a hotel,

:02:53.:02:53.

medical centre and gym, all capitalising, the developer

:02:54.:02:57.

says, on the town's current momentum.

:02:58.:03:01.

Luton is a great hot spot right now, and many people are travelling

:03:02.:03:04.

The area is expanding, the job creation that is

:03:05.:03:09.

going on within Luton, especially at the airport

:03:10.:03:11.

and Vauxhall and other key businesses within Luton,

:03:12.:03:13.

is really expanding the area and making it a real hot spot

:03:14.:03:16.

But back in 2002, a very different story, when the vast Vauxhall car

:03:17.:03:21.

Only now has planning permission being granted

:03:22.:03:26.

Yeah, I think it will be good for Luton, yes.

:03:27.:03:31.

It will be a good lease of life, I think.

:03:32.:03:37.

We need a change around here, it would be nice.

:03:38.:03:40.

I guess they don't want to look out of their living room and bedroom

:03:41.:03:43.

windows and see a 21-story block of flats.

:03:44.:03:47.

Even though it's going to be 350-odd metres away,

:03:48.:03:49.

I'm not really sure I would want to be looking at that all the time.

:03:50.:03:55.

Most, though, focused on the employment, housing

:03:56.:03:58.

and investment opportunities this transformation could offer.

:03:59.:04:01.

Louise Hubball, BBC Look East, Luton.

:04:02.:04:06.

The demolition of a former football stadium in Northamptonshire

:04:07.:04:09.

Nene Park was the home of Rushden Diamonds and Kettering Town.

:04:10.:04:15.

The owners say it's dangerous and a fire risk.

:04:16.:04:21.

But residents say they'll lose a leisure facility.

:04:22.:04:24.

?Nene Park in happier times, Rushden Diamonds celebrating promotion.

:04:25.:04:29.

Andy, when you look at this place now, it is a sorry state

:04:30.:04:36.

Yes, it is really rundown since I was last here,

:04:37.:04:39.

My heart is telling me what a fantastic time I had

:04:40.:04:43.

here and all my family and friends and the people we met,

:04:44.:04:46.

and to see it like this is really, really sad.

:04:47.:04:49.

The demolition of ?Nene Park is the final chapter

:04:50.:04:51.

The question locally, however, is what happens next?

:04:52.:04:55.

When I spoke to the owner Keith Cousins, the man

:04:56.:04:57.

who used to run this club, he did not wish to comment,

:04:58.:05:00.

but the cruel irony is that a club which was designed for the local

:05:01.:05:03.

community, for the county, is set to be taken away and replaced

:05:04.:05:10.

-- a leisure facility will be taken away.

:05:11.:05:21.

Do they really have any say today in what happens in their area?

:05:22.:05:27.

At the moment, this is totally taken out of our hands

:05:28.:05:29.

I would urge the developer to pause for thought,

:05:30.:05:34.

engage fully with the local community, identify what the needs

:05:35.:05:37.

are, and see if they can come up with a mixed-use scheme that

:05:38.:05:40.

would protect at least some, or all of the ?Nene Park Stadium.

:05:41.:05:43.

Also deliver on some of the wider objectives that they have

:05:44.:05:45.

for the site and make it a real hub for the community.

:05:46.:05:48.

The demolition could begin by the end of January

:05:49.:05:50.

A separate planning application is then expected, bringing to an end

:05:51.:05:55.

James Burridge, BBC Look East, ?Nene Park.

:05:56.:06:01.

A decade ago, production of Aston Martin cars

:06:02.:06:06.

But now, it's re-starting with a special model - the DB4.

:06:07.:06:13.

A run of 25 DB4 GT's are being built to original specification

:06:14.:06:16.

They will be built by the brand's historic arm, Aston Martin Works,

:06:17.:06:23.

where the original car was constructed from 1959.

:06:24.:06:26.

It's the first Aston Martin model to be built there since 2007,

:06:27.:06:31.

when production of the last Vanquish S finished.

:06:32.:06:35.

Well, the deluge of snow never arrived here, but there was enough

:06:36.:06:38.

for a little light dusting fun, and a few mini snowmen.

:06:39.:06:41.

Here's Dan with a look ahead to the weekend, and beyond.

:06:42.:06:43.

Bitterly cold night out there with the skies.

:06:44.:06:46.

Temperatures at the moment just above freezing for many,

:06:47.:06:48.

but they'll continue to drop through the early hours.

:06:49.:06:51.

Maybe one or two isolated snow flurries coming into parts

:06:52.:06:54.

Just feeding in from the Cheshire gap.

:06:55.:06:57.

Minus one or minus two by the morning.

:06:58.:06:59.

For Saturday, it should be a fine day.

:07:00.:07:01.

Some of dry weather with some good spells of sunshine.

:07:02.:07:03.

Again, we'll have that chilly north-westerly wind.

:07:04.:07:05.

Many places dry, just a small risk of an isolated shower.

:07:06.:07:08.

And by the afternoon, temperatures just climbing up

:07:09.:07:10.

Obviously feeling colder given the strength of that wind.

:07:11.:07:13.

For Sunday, a slight change in the forecast.

:07:14.:07:15.

Some rain coming in from the west preceded by a bit of sleet.

:07:16.:07:18.

Cold underneath that rain, but eventually,

:07:19.:07:20.

by the end of the day, we might just reach the dizzy

:07:21.:07:23.

Into next week, and it stays mainly dry, with some

:07:24.:07:26.

And if you're heading further afield, John Hammond has more

:07:27.:07:30.

stays cold into the beginning of next week as well

:07:31.:07:45.

stop Good evening, a cold, icy night, but

:07:46.:07:46.
