Villagers are threatening legal action over plans to evict them

:00:10.:00:15.

run by the community for nearly a quarter of a century.

:00:16.:00:24.

But the owners of the building say they must get out by October.

:00:25.:00:27.

This is one of Norfolk's oldest shops.

:00:28.:00:30.

Since 1994 it has been run by the community.

:00:31.:00:35.

The shop is attached to a house, whose owners have always

:00:36.:00:37.

They now want it back, so have served an eviction notice,

:00:38.:00:44.

The villagers have responded with an SOS -

:00:45.:00:50.

It is an emotional blow for them they will lose their chance to meet

:00:51.:00:59.

and have the convenience of coming to the shop to buy items

:01:00.:01:02.

And they are rather shocked at the loss of history as well.

:01:03.:01:11.

We don't want to lose it so it is a rather Churchillian

:01:12.:01:14.

resolve really that we will never, ever give up.

:01:15.:01:17.

The options are to fight it through the courts,

:01:18.:01:20.

to temporarily operate out of a Portakabin, to close

:01:21.:01:22.

until new premises can be found, or to buy it at a cost

:01:23.:01:25.

?50,000 is the ballpark if we don't buy the building.

:01:26.:01:36.

It isn't ideal and it is a great shame it has come to this

:01:37.:01:40.

but the village as a whole feels strongly enough about this

:01:41.:01:43.

to mobilise and try and do something about it.

:01:44.:01:51.

The shop generates enough money to be self-sustaining,

:01:52.:01:53.

but whatever the outcome of this situation it will cost more

:01:54.:01:56.

A man has been arrested in Northamptonshire in connection

:01:57.:02:03.

with an alleged acid attack at a nightclub in east London.

:02:04.:02:06.

Arthur Collins, from Hertfordshire, is being questioned on suspicion

:02:07.:02:10.

of attempted murder over the incident at the Mangle

:02:11.:02:12.

A man and a woman in their twenties were both blinded in one eye.

:02:13.:02:20.

Police are looking for two men after a man was stabbed this

:02:21.:02:23.

A large part of Queensland Crescent was cordoned off until midday.

:02:24.:02:30.

A 38-year-old man from Norwich was taken to hospital

:02:31.:02:33.

The Essex MP Douglas Carswell has defended his record of representing

:02:34.:02:38.

Mr Carswell announced earlier this week he was quitting politics ahead

:02:39.:02:45.

He's been criticised for failing the residents of Jaywick

:02:46.:02:51.

in his constituency, which is the most deprived

:02:52.:02:53.

There have been blanket bans on any new developments in Jaywick

:02:54.:03:01.

for the past 40 years, and working with the council

:03:02.:03:03.

and a meeting I organised in the House of Commons

:03:04.:03:06.

with the Environment Agency we have removed many of those restrictions

:03:07.:03:10.

and we are now starting to see private investment and innovation

:03:11.:03:12.

And if you missed this week's Sunday Politics programme you can

:03:13.:03:15.

And finally, there was a big surprise for a family

:03:16.:03:23.

The family from Essex were the 20 millionth visitor.

:03:24.:03:33.

They were surprised with gifts at the gate by the owner -

:03:34.:03:36.

The park, one of the UK's oldest, opened in 1970.

:03:37.:03:40.

I'm very proud of what my grandfather achieved here.

:03:41.:03:42.

The park opened in 1970, we were closed for a

:03:43.:03:44.

year during foot and mouth, but luckily we kept

:03:45.:03:46.

the park and we get between

:03:47.:03:48.

400,000 and 500,000 people each year.

:03:49.:03:51.

Well, here's a sight to cheer you up if, like me,

:03:52.:04:01.

your daffs and tulips have past their prime!

:04:02.:04:02.

Let's get the forecast now from Georgina.

:04:05.:04:06.

We will have fairly clear skies for many heading through tonight

:04:07.:04:14.

Temperatures getting down to four Celsius under those clear skies.

:04:15.:04:19.

Where there is a bit more cloud they are probably not

:04:20.:04:22.

Tomorrow, for many of us a fairly cloudy day.

:04:23.:04:25.

Some brightness mainly towards the end of the day

:04:26.:04:27.

but it is looking pretty grey altogether with outbreaks of rain,

:04:28.:04:30.

the heaviest of which are likely to be through the middle of the day

:04:31.:04:33.

Temperatures only reaching 13 Celsius and a bit

:04:34.:04:36.

Not very pleasant after today, but as we head into Tuesday

:04:37.:04:41.

and Wednesday that is when we are starting to see the possibility

:04:42.:04:45.

of some wintry showers and it may even be there is a snow

:04:46.:04:48.

Towards the end of the week things settle down a little.

:04:49.:04:56.

We're back at 6.25am tomorrow morning.

:04:57.:04:58.

It has been a fine and dry day, and it the sunshine temperatures were

:04:59.:05:13.

about 17 degrees. But a change in weather as we had through this week.

:05:14.:05:18.

Wintry showers and some frosty night in the forecast over the next few

:05:19.:05:23.

nights. We have a cold front starting to work in across Scotland,

:05:24.:05:27.

introducing colder air towards the North. Towards the south, cloud and

:05:28.:05:32.

outbreaks of rain. In Scotland and Northern Ireland. Most places are

:05:33.:05:37.

largely dry to the south of that. We could see a touch of grassed frost

:05:38.:05:42.

for the south-west. Very cold first thing Monday morning across the

:05:43.:05:46.

sheltered glens of Scotland. Sleet and snow working in across Scotland

:05:47.:05:50.

tomorrow. Further south across the country,

:05:51.:05:52.
