:00:02. > :00:05.Hello, and welcome to Look North. In tonight's programme:

:00:05. > :00:09.MPs call for an end to windfarm subsidies - is it time to call a

:00:09. > :00:12.halt to the North's windrush? Stupidity or worse? A reward is

:00:12. > :00:15.offered after a mountain bike track is sabotaged, with potentially

:00:15. > :00:19.lethal results. They're going to pedal their own

:00:19. > :00:24.pedalo again. These two vow to make it across the Atlantic, despite

:00:24. > :00:28.three almost heroic failures. And are we ready for the electric

:00:28. > :00:32.car? It's claimed the North East has the most charging points in the

:00:32. > :00:35.country. We test if there are enough to keep us on the move.

:00:35. > :00:38.And in sport, it's another Tees Wear derby. We'll be live at the

:00:38. > :00:41.Riverside ahead of the FA Cup fourth round replay.

:00:41. > :00:51.Can Middlesbrough repeat their 1975 Cup victory over Sunderland or will

:00:51. > :00:59.

:00:59. > :01:02.the Premier League's form team meet Has the tide turned for windfarms?

:01:02. > :01:05.More than 100 Conservative MPs have written to the Prime Minister

:01:05. > :01:07.demanding a dramatic cut to the hundreds of millions of pounds in

:01:07. > :01:12.subsidies paid to windfarm operators from our electricity

:01:12. > :01:16.bills. Only one Labour MP signed the letter - the Workington MP Tony

:01:16. > :01:26.Cunningham. He says Cumbria has too many windfarms and a recent

:01:26. > :01:29.planning decision seems to support Love them or loathe them, wind

:01:29. > :01:33.turbines are now a very familiar feature of our landscape. But here

:01:33. > :01:43.in the North, do we have more than our fair share? The Workington MP

:01:43. > :01:45.

:01:45. > :01:48.says enough is enough. I take my little boy down to the harbour and

:01:48. > :01:53.whippy look north, south, east or west, all you can see his wind

:01:53. > :01:58.turbines. We accepted the responsibility for a new nuclear

:01:58. > :02:02.power station. We have had an offshore wind from Rick that

:02:02. > :02:06.creates electricity for half of Cumbria but to stick two or three

:02:06. > :02:10.when turbines in a field next to a village creating enough electricity

:02:10. > :02:13.to boil a kettle does not make sense. Our region has proved very

:02:13. > :02:15.attractive to windfarm developers, Cumbria in particular. There are

:02:15. > :02:19.120 turbines operational or under construction in the county, plus a

:02:19. > :02:25.further 60 offshore in the Solway. Neighbouring Northumberland has 115

:02:25. > :02:28.turbines consented for operation. In County Durham, the figure is 72

:02:28. > :02:32.turbines but the built-up areas of Tyne and Wear only have nine - at

:02:32. > :02:37.the Nissan factory in Sunderland. Teesside has 31, including 27

:02:37. > :02:42.currently under construction off the seafront at Redcar. In North

:02:42. > :02:52.Yorkshire, there are 22 turbines so far. This gives a regional total of

:02:52. > :02:56.

:02:56. > :02:59.429. These turbines are about to start electricity generation.

:02:59. > :03:05.Despite protests are, many more will be given the go-ahead if the

:03:05. > :03:08.government is to meet its ambitious targets of resourcing a fit of

:03:09. > :03:11.power from renewables by the end of the decade.

:03:11. > :03:14.Still on the subject of wind turbines, a Teesside company has

:03:15. > :03:17.lost out on a contract to supply parts to that windfarm at Redcar

:03:17. > :03:20.which Adrian mentioned. TAG, based at Haverton Hill near Billingham,

:03:20. > :03:23.had believed it was in the running to supply monopiles to the

:03:23. > :03:28.development. It's based only nine miles from the windfarm site. But

:03:28. > :03:33.the contract has gone to a company in Belgium.

:03:33. > :03:36.He's lucky he wasn't seriously injured or even killed. That's the

:03:36. > :03:40.police reaction after a cyclist was catapulted from his bike by a rope

:03:40. > :03:44.stretched across a path at a County Durham mountain bike track. The

:03:44. > :03:47.rider was travelling at 20mph at Hamsterley Forest. A reward is

:03:47. > :03:53.being offered for information that leads to the arrest of those

:03:53. > :03:57.responsible. Keith Akehurst reports. These are the rider's helmet camera

:03:57. > :04:01.shots of the incident at Hamsterley Forest in County Durham. The 29-

:04:01. > :04:05.year-old man was going at up to 20 miles an hour on his mountain bike.

:04:05. > :04:08.Due to snow and ice, that was ten miles an hour slower than usual.

:04:08. > :04:18.Suddenly, he's catapulted from his bike by a rope strung across the

:04:18. > :04:19.

:04:19. > :04:28.Despite being shocked, he gets up to inspect the rope and untie it

:04:28. > :04:35.before anyone else could be hurt. It is a nylon printed broke. It has

:04:35. > :04:40.been inspected and we found it had been melted by some fought before -

:04:40. > :04:48.- some sort of lighter. It's been deliberately stretched across the

:04:48. > :04:53.track. It would have stretched and catapulted him backwards. The lad

:04:53. > :04:56.felt he had been shot by something. The cyclist's clothes clearly show

:04:56. > :05:05.a rope burn, but he wasn't badly injured. Durham Police say he's

:05:05. > :05:10.been very lucky. We are fortunate the gentleman was over six feet in

:05:10. > :05:15.height and the record him at chest height. If they had been young lads,

:05:15. > :05:20.they would have been at neck height. The injuries could have been

:05:21. > :05:25.possibly fatal. If it is a prank, they need educating. It is

:05:25. > :05:34.something worse, we are looking at something quite sinister, Ready.

:05:34. > :05:36.substantial reward is being offered It's a staggering figure but last

:05:36. > :05:40.year, Cleveland Police received 3,745 calls reporting missing

:05:40. > :05:45.people. From young children to the elderly, the force has one of the

:05:45. > :05:48.highest rates in Britain. Now, while many who are reported missing

:05:48. > :05:52.are quickly found, some families face the ordeal of having to carry

:05:53. > :06:02.on not knowing where or what has happened to their loved ones.

:06:03. > :06:05.

:06:05. > :06:08.Stuart Whincup joins us from our BBC Tees newsroom now. On average,

:06:08. > :06:12.Cleveland police receives 10 calls for every day reporting missing

:06:12. > :06:18.people. Some are found quickly but for many families, they spend years

:06:18. > :06:21.not knowing whether their loved ones are still alive. Charles and

:06:21. > :06:31.Doris Clarke have been desperately waiting for news about their son

:06:31. > :06:33.

:06:33. > :06:40.Stephen. Whenever you are in a crowd, you

:06:40. > :06:46.look and wonder whether it could be him. He is never out of our mind,

:06:46. > :06:51.at all. How can it be? Stephen had been walking along the seafront

:06:51. > :06:57.when he went to the toilet. When he didn't come out, his mother

:06:57. > :07:00.presumed she had missed him and he returned home. But he was never

:07:00. > :07:07.seen again and for the last 20 years, Steven's family have been

:07:07. > :07:12.left wondering what happened to him. No idea. There are so many

:07:12. > :07:20.possibilities. I used to think someone had taken him on to the

:07:20. > :07:23.moors and murdered him. All sorts of possibilities. You can't think.

:07:23. > :07:30.We have talked about it so many times, you can't let your mind go

:07:30. > :07:32.that way. People will flip. Smiling for the cameras, this video shows

:07:32. > :07:35.Steven winning a training award just two months before he

:07:35. > :07:39.dissapeared. The police searches and public appeals finished years

:07:39. > :07:42.ago. But Charles and Doris say they take heart from the fact that

:07:42. > :07:51.shortly after his disappearance, Steven was spotted a few miles away

:07:51. > :07:56.in Redcar. We believe he is still around. I can't accept that he is

:07:56. > :08:06.dead. One day, he might just decide to open that door. If you are there

:08:06. > :08:06.

:08:06. > :08:13.are watching, son, give us a call. As part -- heartbreaking as that

:08:13. > :08:16.story is, they are not alone. 33 people throw at Teesside and North

:08:16. > :08:23.Yorkshire are classified as a long- term missing. Dozens of families in

:08:23. > :08:25.the area are facing the same ordeal. Now, you don't hear this very often.

:08:25. > :08:28.People living in a County Durham village are complaining that their

:08:29. > :08:33.village has too many bus services. Howden- le-wear, near Crook, sees

:08:33. > :08:36.up to 16 buses passing through it every hour. And a new service has

:08:36. > :08:39.just been added. Some residents have complained but others are

:08:39. > :08:48.worried that could mean they lose some services. Adele Robinson

:08:49. > :08:52.reports. Buses, buses and a more buses. This is quite possibly the

:08:52. > :09:02.first time ever complaints have been made that he will village gets

:09:02. > :09:04.

:09:04. > :09:12.too many and too close to go. You've put the. Opposite, it is

:09:12. > :09:20.very congested in the village. bus company are starting a new

:09:20. > :09:24.service in addition to many other services. All the services passed

:09:24. > :09:33.through this village every hour. is ridiculous. They don't need

:09:33. > :09:38.another one. Why did any company do it in the first prize? You wait

:09:38. > :09:41.ages for one and then, two come along at once. Some people here

:09:41. > :09:46.think that has been taken to a whole new level and in the past

:09:46. > :09:51.hour, I have seen 15 services passed through. A lot of people are

:09:51. > :09:55.worried complaints will mean services are cut. I don't think

:09:55. > :10:01.there are too many buses passing through. The more buses, the better.

:10:01. > :10:05.We have a good service, were split? The local councillor has taken

:10:05. > :10:12.complaints about the services but says outlying areas need services

:10:12. > :10:16.as well. It shouldn't be spread thinly in the area. We have seen 16

:10:16. > :10:23.buses come through and it seems a little bit and fair. You have taken

:10:23. > :10:26.stick? Yes, but as a tyre here for, if people want to give me stick.

:10:26. > :10:34.The bus company are hailing this new service as great for the

:10:34. > :10:38.community. They say feedback has been positive. But it is clear this

:10:38. > :10:43.dividing our bed isn't over. The news service starts next week. Some

:10:43. > :10:48.say it could bring up to 20 buses through the village per hour. There

:10:48. > :10:51.will be those who are counting. Dozens of people who spent last

:10:51. > :10:55.night out of their homes because of a gas leak in Scarborough have now

:10:55. > :10:58.been allowed back. Residents in the Seamer Road area were forced to

:10:58. > :11:02.leave after a contractor damaged a pipe yesterday. Northern Gas

:11:02. > :11:04.Networks have apologised for the inconvenience.

:11:04. > :11:07.Buckingham Palace has released details of the Queen's national

:11:07. > :11:10.tour to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee. Her Majesty, accompanied

:11:10. > :11:14.by the Duke of Edinburgh, will be in the region between the18th and

:11:14. > :11:19.19th July. They'll be visiting Sunderland, South Tyneside, North

:11:19. > :11:25.Tyneside, Gateshead, Durham City and Stockton. Cumbria isn't on the

:11:25. > :11:28.itinerary. Two West Cumbrian men who had to

:11:28. > :11:32.abandon their third attempt to cross the Atlantic by pedalo say

:11:32. > :11:35.they'll try again later this year. Kieran Sweeney and Callum McDonald

:11:35. > :11:40.had to be rescued earlier this week after their home-built boat was

:11:40. > :11:43.damaged by storms. But they're refusing to give in to the doubters,

:11:43. > :11:48.vowing to build a new vessel and start again. Mark McAlindon's been

:11:48. > :11:52.to meet them. The two friends may have grown up

:11:52. > :11:55.by the sea although neither are nautical by nature. That didn't

:11:55. > :11:58.stop them, though, trying to make a dream come true. But the two say

:11:58. > :12:05.many boats have succumbed to surprise storms west of Africa

:12:05. > :12:10.recently. And their experience was terrifying. And leaving the boat in

:12:10. > :12:14.the middle of the water, it was hard but it was the right choice.

:12:14. > :12:21.Because we got capsized so many times. The boat stood up to the

:12:21. > :12:28.impacts, which it is designed to do. But we come first. The small boats

:12:28. > :12:34.of the worst. The small waves are smashing into Russ, spinning us

:12:34. > :12:37.around 180 degrees. It felt like a car crash every time. The plan was

:12:37. > :12:40.to pedal in pleasant sunshine from Gran Canaria to the Bahamas,

:12:40. > :12:43.raising �50,000 for the children's heart unit at Newcastle's Freeman

:12:43. > :12:46.Hospital. But last year, Kieran and his brother were forced back by

:12:46. > :12:55.mechanical problems, before Kieran and Callum gave in first to food

:12:55. > :13:00.poisoning and now to storms. Since returning home, they said they have

:13:01. > :13:04.been the subject to disparaging remarks on local websites. People

:13:04. > :13:08.have said they are foolhardy. They say all we're trying to do is to

:13:08. > :13:12.show that you can achieve your dreams and raise money for a

:13:12. > :13:18.valuable calls and they say they are determined to succeed next time

:13:18. > :13:22.round. We should be ready by the end of the year with the new boat

:13:23. > :13:28.and the new design. A lot of changes in the manufacturing

:13:28. > :13:32.process should speed things up. With the experience of building the

:13:32. > :13:37.last one and the wiring and everything, this process will be a

:13:37. > :13:40.lot quicker and a lot more cost- effective. In the meantime, the two

:13:41. > :13:45.have just a few memories of their courage to rely on before a fourth

:13:45. > :13:47.attempt is made. Coming up later:

:13:47. > :13:51.We're live at the Riverside stadium as Middlesbrough and Sunderland

:13:51. > :13:54.prepare for an FA Cup showdown. And we're with the Duke of

:13:54. > :14:02.Gloucester as he backs a bid to bring World Heritage status to one

:14:02. > :14:10.of our most historic sites. And a weather warning. I will be back

:14:10. > :14:13.with all the details at the end of Is the North ready for electric

:14:13. > :14:16.vehicles? That is the question Look North is trying to answer this week.

:14:16. > :14:22.Our reporter is spending seven days with an electric car, charging it

:14:22. > :14:24.at home and work and at public charging stations. It is claimed

:14:24. > :14:28.the North-East is the most connected region of the country,

:14:28. > :14:33.with more charge points than anywhere else. So are there enough

:14:33. > :14:36.to keep him on the road? One day, the cars we drive will

:14:36. > :14:40.have to be powered by something other than petrol or diesel,

:14:40. > :14:45.because the oil will have run out. Right now, some manufacturers,

:14:45. > :14:49.including Nissan, believe that electric cars are the way forward.

:14:49. > :14:52.The big limiter at present is the range - about 100 miles. But Nissan

:14:52. > :15:02.says this does not matter because the number of charge points is

:15:02. > :15:06.growing all the time. In the North East, there is already in

:15:06. > :15:12.infrastructure. If you use the sat- nav, it connects you with all the

:15:12. > :15:18.charging points so you are never out of sight of a charging point.

:15:18. > :15:21.From that point of view, it is pretty good. Nationally, the

:15:21. > :15:25.Infrastructure will still take a while.

:15:25. > :15:28.In fact, the North East is the best connected region in the country.

:15:28. > :15:30.With a range of 100 miles, you could in theory make a return

:15:30. > :15:34.journey of 50 miles in any direction from Newcastle, apart

:15:34. > :15:38.from into the North Sea. But it is not that simple. We have 340 public

:15:38. > :15:42.charge points either installed, or about to be installed. These will

:15:42. > :15:46.charge your car in about eight hours. But the region also has

:15:46. > :15:50.seven fast charge points installed. These will give an 80% charge in

:15:50. > :15:57.half an hour. This gives you more daily range in between full

:15:57. > :16:04.overnight charges. But how does this work in the real world? It has

:16:04. > :16:12.been great. A really enjoyed driving it. The charges might be a

:16:12. > :16:18.bit of a hassle but no more hassle than going to a petrol station.

:16:18. > :16:23.really test the network of charging posts and the car, I am going to be

:16:23. > :16:32.using this as the only means of transport. I will let you know how

:16:32. > :16:35.I get on it in the near future. I am sure it will work. He is very

:16:35. > :16:39.patient! The Duke of Gloucester has been in

:16:39. > :16:43.South Tyneside today. In a busy visit, he spent time at St Oswald's

:16:43. > :16:46.Hopsice and the new BT offices in South Shields. And he backed a bid

:16:46. > :16:49.to secure World Heritage status for one of the area's historic sites.

:16:49. > :16:51.He visited Bede's World in Jarrow, to hear about the latest moves to

:16:51. > :16:58.make the twin monastery of Wearmouth and Jarrow an

:16:58. > :17:00.international attraction. The royal seal of approval came

:17:00. > :17:05.today for what its supporters believe should be the UK's next

:17:05. > :17:08.World Heritage site. The monasteries of Wearmouth and Jarrow

:17:08. > :17:15.were built in the late seventh century, during the Golden Age of

:17:15. > :17:18.Northumbria. And the children of St Aloysius Primary School in Hebburn

:17:18. > :17:23.adopted their best habits as the Duke joined them for a spot of

:17:23. > :17:27.enscribing. The Duke, who is the patron of

:17:28. > :17:30.Bede's World, has already pledged his support to the bid. But why

:17:30. > :17:40.does Wearmouth and Jarrow deserve the UK's nomination for World

:17:40. > :17:41.

:17:41. > :17:47.Heritage status? While the Hadrian's Wall site was

:17:48. > :17:52.billed by the Romans, and imposing Durham cathedral was built by the

:17:52. > :17:56.conquering Normans, Wearmouth and Jarrow represents a genuinely

:17:56. > :17:58.north-eastern culture. And it was not just in remote

:17:58. > :18:01.Northumbria that the monasteries were famous. Professor Dame

:18:01. > :18:10.Rosemary Cramp is 82, and spent 50 years digging for the secrets of

:18:10. > :18:16.Wearmouth and Jarrow. It is not very often we can say that a here

:18:17. > :18:21.where it is remote, we were the centre of learning and culture. It

:18:21. > :18:29.recognises it was here we first get the definition of the beginning of

:18:29. > :18:33.Englishness as well as north- eastern nurse. We also recognises

:18:33. > :18:43.Bede was the master of the Middle Ages and somebody who is worthy to

:18:43. > :18:46.

:18:46. > :18:48.be commemorated. The Duke met with volunteers who help to keep the

:18:49. > :18:58.museum going and with business people supporting the bid. A

:18:58. > :19:01.decision on the nomination is due this summer.

:19:01. > :19:04.There is only one place to start tonight and that is on Teesside for

:19:04. > :19:06.Middlesbrough's FA Cup fourth round replay against Sunderland. The

:19:06. > :19:09.Black Cats earned themselves a second chance thanks to Frazier

:19:09. > :19:19.Campbell's equaliser ten days ago. Katie Gornall is live outside the

:19:19. > :19:20.

:19:20. > :19:24.Riverside for us now. In very cold riverside. It is more than just

:19:24. > :19:33.bragging rights at stake. I have the programme for when the sides

:19:33. > :19:43.last met. It cost just 10p. It was in 1975 when they last met.

:19:43. > :19:45.

:19:45. > :19:48.Middlesbrough were winners that day. The year was 1975. Middlesbrough

:19:48. > :19:51.were the hot favourites to beat their Second Division rivals.

:19:51. > :19:55.Sideburns were all the rage, and Graham Souness still had a

:19:55. > :19:58.moustache. 40,000 crammed into Ayresome Park to see Jack

:19:58. > :20:08.Charlton's team in blue and black fight back from Pop Robson's early

:20:08. > :20:08.

:20:08. > :20:10.opener. And it was Big John Hickton who spared Boro's blushes. Two

:20:10. > :20:15.second-half penalties saw the striker embark on his legendary

:20:15. > :20:18.long run-up, and fire the Teessiders into the fifth round.

:20:18. > :20:21.Fast forward nearly 40 years and its not just the hairstyles that

:20:21. > :20:31.have changed. Middlesbrough are now the ones hoping to cause an upset

:20:31. > :20:32.

:20:32. > :20:39.against the top flight's form team. It is going so well it is a gauge

:20:39. > :20:44.for us. When you put our performance in a mix of their

:20:44. > :20:49.results over the last six weeks, it was a decent performance. Can we be

:20:49. > :20:53.produce it? We will have a go. Injuries will rob Mowbray of up to

:20:53. > :20:56.five players from the side that forced a replay at the Stadium of

:20:56. > :20:59.Light, with striker Scott Mcdonald out for up to 12 weeks. But after a

:20:59. > :21:06.tough encounter first time round, no-one in the Sunderland camp is

:21:07. > :21:11.taking anything for granted. think they had a couple of problems

:21:11. > :21:16.with a few injuries before they played us. It did not seem to spoil

:21:16. > :21:26.their game at all. They played very well against us. I expect exactly

:21:26. > :21:26.

:21:27. > :21:32.the same again. I am joined by Rob Mason and Rob Nichols. We will talk

:21:32. > :21:39.about Sunderland first. Sunderland go into this one are the favourites.

:21:39. > :21:42.An incredible run of form. Middlesbrough played very well and

:21:43. > :21:47.deserved the draw they got. Sunderland are on a tremendous run.

:21:47. > :21:53.They have been doing very well away from home especially. We hope we

:21:53. > :21:58.can have Arsenal at home. We would love to have them in the Cup the

:21:58. > :22:03.following Saturday. You must have been waxing lyrical about Martin

:22:03. > :22:13.O'Neill. Everybody has. With good reason. He has given everybody a

:22:13. > :22:14.

:22:14. > :22:20.lift. He is a very good person. Hopefully, we'll have the last word

:22:21. > :22:27.tonight. This is going to be tough for Mowbray with the injuries.

:22:27. > :22:34.After the first game, there were a lot of players out. We are at home

:22:34. > :22:38.and we have the fans behind us so hopefully we can repeat the success

:22:38. > :22:44.of 1975 he the 21st century. Devlin got the fans behind to. If

:22:44. > :22:46.we do not get the results and it goes to penalties, arsenal await

:22:46. > :22:49.the next round. Newcastle Falcons have just nine

:22:49. > :22:52.games left to save their Premiership status and keep top

:22:52. > :22:55.flight Rugby Union in the north east. The new coaching staff have

:22:55. > :22:59.not got much time to turn things around and their mission starts on

:22:59. > :23:03.Saturday down at Bath. With former South Africa coach Gary

:23:03. > :23:05.Gold at the helm and ex-England men John Wells and Mike Ford in support,

:23:05. > :23:15.you cannotdoubt that owner Semore Kurdi is serious about keeping the

:23:15. > :23:20.Falcons in the Premiership. But is it too late? If we win and teams

:23:20. > :23:28.above us continue to win, it is too late. Then we are not going to stay

:23:28. > :23:33.up. Been saying that, there is a pragmatic view of business and

:23:33. > :23:38.rugby and you realise you have to look at the loss and the relegation

:23:38. > :23:42.in many ways can stand you in good stead. It allowed them to compose

:23:42. > :23:46.themselves and take stock of where they are. It is not something I

:23:46. > :23:49.want to contemplate at the moment. Remarkably despite the odds being

:23:49. > :23:56.firmly stacked against them, Kiwi golden boot winner Jimmy Gopperth

:23:56. > :24:00.has rejected offers from other clubs to sign a new three-year deal.

:24:00. > :24:10.Would it be fair to say there is no relegation clause in his contract?

:24:10. > :24:13.He has made it clear he wants to stay. Let us hope it does not come

:24:13. > :24:15.to that relegation. And there is another South African

:24:16. > :24:18.on the way to the region. Durham have announced that former

:24:18. > :24:21.international Herschelle Gibbs will play for the county in the Twenty20

:24:21. > :24:31.competition in the summer. Gibbs played in the tournament for

:24:31. > :24:35.

:24:35. > :24:40.Yorkshire two years ago. Let us look at how cold it was this

:24:40. > :24:50.morning. Here is our league table from across the region. The coldest

:24:50. > :24:56.

:24:56. > :25:00.spot was minus 11 Celsius today. The highest temperature was minus

:25:00. > :25:10.five. A gorgeous night-time weather picture to start us off. The focus

:25:10. > :25:12.

:25:12. > :25:20.will be the full mind -- for or moon from last night. -- full moon.

:25:20. > :25:26.There will be icy roads. The rainfall will fall on freezing

:25:26. > :25:34.services. It is frosty ahead of the rain band. Temperatures in the air

:25:34. > :25:41.and DOW are two of minus five. They will be cold or on the ground. --

:25:41. > :25:45.down to minus five. The rain will continue to spread across the

:25:45. > :25:51.region through the morning. A miserable rush-hour. For a time, it

:25:51. > :25:59.will turn to snow. Rain elsewhere but very cold. Pembridge is between

:26:00. > :26:04.1 and two degrees. -- temperatures. As we cross West, it is wet and

:26:04. > :26:10.just a touch milder. Pembridge is will be five degrees. It is well

:26:10. > :26:15.below average for the time of year. We expect the temperature to be

:26:15. > :26:19.around eight degrees. A miserable end to the day. As we head through

:26:19. > :26:26.the next few days, think that stay chilly with more drizzle. There

:26:26. > :26:31.could possibly be sleet. It is cold on Saturday but one or two spots

:26:31. > :26:38.should be a bit drier. The weather will stay unsettled and cold, even

:26:38. > :26:42.for the time of year. If you are braving the cold and you are out
