Welcome to Midlands Today. The headlines tonight: up to 1000 new

:00:08.:00:11.

jobs in a comeback for car-making in Coventry.

:00:11.:00:17.

It is hugely symbolic to bring car manufacturing back to Browns Lane

:00:17.:00:20.

plant which was the spiritual home of Jaguar.

:00:20.:00:23.

Controversy over a new drama into the police investigation at about

:00:23.:00:27.

Fred West. We should engage with these things and these things

:00:27.:00:31.

should be discussed. The school was destroyed by fire

:00:31.:00:35.

and now children will be starting school in a stately homes.

:00:35.:00:39.

And why are regaining their league status could be on the cards for

:00:39.:00:49.
:00:49.:00:57.

Good evening. Welcome to the start of the weekend. A comeback for car-

:00:57.:01:01.

making in Coventry. Jaguar's former Browns Lane plant

:01:02.:01:07.

is partially reopening. Automotive specialist CPP Global Holdings is

:01:07.:01:11.

moving in with a potential investment of at �75 million. That

:01:11.:01:15.

could create up to 1000 jobs. The same number lost when Jaguar

:01:15.:01:22.

stopped production in 2005. A year later, 2000 jobs went as Peugeot

:01:22.:01:26.

left Ryton. Different to the days when up to 80,000 people and their

:01:26.:01:33.

living from car-making and Coventry was known as Britain's Motor City.

:01:33.:01:37.

The Browns Lane plant in Coventry, once the envy of the world, it

:01:37.:01:42.

produced iconic sought-after cars but since 2005, this is what most

:01:42.:01:47.

of the site has been reduced to. Today was a turning-point. CPP

:01:47.:01:51.

Global Holdings plans to start production of high quality

:01:51.:01:55.

components and specialist cars including the Spyker on the site.

:01:55.:01:58.

We should not underestimate the history of the site. Around the

:01:58.:02:03.

world, people know the names. I think it adds to our story of which

:02:03.:02:09.

adds to our project. -- product. I think Coventry will be the centre

:02:09.:02:15.

for low-volume vehicle design many factoring. Come to re-already has

:02:15.:02:19.

five sites across Coventry employing 250 people. By bringing

:02:19.:02:23.

all production to Browns Lane plant, it plans to create hundreds more

:02:23.:02:28.

jobs. What do those who worked in the city's car industry make of

:02:28.:02:33.

this new chapter in its motoring heritage? Of course it is good news,

:02:33.:02:39.

provided you can get the skilled people. More work for people. I

:02:39.:02:46.

wish it well but it is perhaps the car for the Times, but it is not as

:02:46.:02:50.

I remember it. A it is 50 years ago since this classic a chap Europe

:02:51.:02:58.

was first produced at Browns Lane plant. -- classic Jaguar. The city

:02:58.:03:02.

council says it is prove that Coventry's future as well as its

:03:02.:03:07.

past is synonymous with cars. That is in a city currently with an

:03:07.:03:12.

unemployment rate 2% higher than the national average. I am hoping

:03:12.:03:16.

that when CPP Global Holdings take over the 23 acres on this side and

:03:16.:03:20.

start manufacturing, that will encourage other manufacturers to

:03:20.:03:25.

move on to other parts of the side. If all goes to plan, the multi-

:03:25.:03:30.

million-pound redevelopment project will start next spring.

:03:30.:03:33.

With us now is of Professor David Bailey from Coventry University

:03:33.:03:38.

Business School. I suppose we should not get too excited but it

:03:38.:03:42.

sounds like good news? Let us remember that when Jaguar left,

:03:42.:03:46.

there were over 1000 job losses. CPP Global Holdings will not create

:03:46.:03:50.

anything like that but they have taken a big chunk of the site and

:03:50.:03:54.

it could lead to more engineering jobs. Why are CPP Global Holdings

:03:54.:04:00.

doing this at this time? They have built up a portfolio of businesses

:04:00.:04:07.

and they are expanding. In making the Spyker sports car, there is big

:04:07.:04:10.

overseas opportunities there for growth potential. The what does it

:04:10.:04:15.

mean for Coventry and the motor industry? Symbolically it is hugely

:04:15.:04:20.

important. It also shows that there is a great skilled engineering

:04:20.:04:25.

based in Coventry and a lot of Nis producers in things like low carbon

:04:25.:04:30.

vehicles. A small scale renaissance. The thing we will be able to call

:04:30.:04:35.

it the Motor City again? A niche producer in the future. It is it is

:04:35.:04:41.

all good news. Meanwhile, the annual motoring fast

:04:41.:04:45.

one is moving to Stoneleigh Park. A celebration of British car-making

:04:45.:04:48.

was cancelled this year for the first time but next year's's

:04:48.:04:52.

festival will be at the former Royal Showground. The we will be

:04:52.:04:56.

linking up with universities and colleges in Coventry and

:04:56.:04:59.

Warwickshire are so they can show off their developments. That does

:04:59.:05:03.

the same for automotive companies in Coventry and Warwickshire, of

:05:03.:05:07.

which there are many, they can show off their latest of elements.

:05:07.:05:13.

ahead, we may be into September, but there's still a chance to catch

:05:13.:05:18.

a summer music festival this weekend. Details later.

:05:19.:05:23.

A controversial drama about the Gloucester serial killer Fred West

:05:23.:05:27.

is to be screened this weekend. It is called "Appropriate Adult"

:05:27.:05:30.

and it tells the story of the relationship between Fred West and

:05:30.:05:37.

a housewife who was asked to sit with him during police interviews.

:05:37.:05:43.

I love Rose and I love... But Anna was the one. "Appropriate Adult",

:05:43.:05:47.

Fred West is played on the screen with unnerving realism by Dominic

:05:47.:05:51.

West. The drama explores how the mass murderer manipulated this

:05:51.:05:55.

woman, Janet Leach, who sat in on police interviews but crucially

:05:55.:06:01.

West told her things he would not tell detectives. She called me to

:06:01.:06:10.

warn me. When I got home, we have five minutes together and we agreed

:06:10.:06:16.

we would tell them it was all me. With the case nearly 20 years old,

:06:16.:06:19.

Fred West's daughter has reportedly criticised the producers for making

:06:19.:06:23.

the drama but it is a decision they defend. That is something that we

:06:23.:06:27.

have registered very strongly but the thing is that if you say that

:06:27.:06:31.

you can never discuss any difficult subject because somebody directly

:06:31.:06:36.

affected does not want you to, that could mean, for example, we do not

:06:36.:06:40.

discuss the Holocaust or the Vietnam war the Second World War

:06:40.:06:44.

where as we know atrocious things happened. The worst case is of

:06:44.:06:48.

course the story that will never go away. Hilary Allison was the press

:06:48.:06:51.

officer for the police at the time and says there is a place for

:06:51.:06:55.

dramas like this. Lots of aspects of the investigation have been

:06:55.:07:00.

looked at and used elsewhere. It is really important that other aspects

:07:00.:07:05.

of the inquiry, including the role of Janet Leach should be looked

:07:05.:07:09.

back. As long as it is treated sensitively, it is a positive thing

:07:09.:07:14.

to happen. This is the focal point of the West murders. The house was

:07:15.:07:18.

demolished soon after the investigation. It was a dark

:07:18.:07:22.

chapter in Gloucester's history but the hope is that as time has gone

:07:22.:07:25.

on the perception of the city has changed. We have achieved a lot

:07:25.:07:30.

since then. We have got plans for the future. It is a lot different

:07:30.:07:35.

than it was then. It is going to be even greater in the future. Janet

:07:35.:07:39.

Leach admits that she made mistakes in her dealings with Fred West and

:07:39.:07:43.

work with producers on "Appropriate Adult" to ensure the real story of

:07:43.:07:50.

the crucial relationship could finally be told.

:07:50.:07:53.

Fred West could never be tried for his crimes because he killed

:07:53.:07:57.

himself while on remand in prison in Birmingham. "Appropriate Adult"

:07:57.:08:01.

is being shown on ITV won on Sunday evening.

:08:01.:08:04.

A thousand people have signed a petition calling for better safety

:08:04.:08:08.

outside a school after the death of a 12-year-old who was knocked down

:08:08.:08:11.

by a bus. Since Courtney Holdcroft died in

:08:11.:08:19.

June, there has been a concerted campaign for a road crossing patrol.

:08:19.:08:22.

The bus-stop outside the Ormiston Sir Stanley Matthews Academy is

:08:22.:08:28.

quiet today. Once term starts, it will be thronging. This is where

:08:28.:08:32.

12-year-old Courtney Holdcroft died. She was crossing the road after a

:08:32.:08:36.

school concert practice. 1000 people have called on the local

:08:36.:08:40.

council to make this road safer for children. This petition sadly was

:08:40.:08:44.

raised by the death of Courtney but it is not just about that, it is

:08:44.:08:47.

about the future of the children who come to the school and to make

:08:47.:08:51.

sure that we never used another child on this road. Following her

:08:51.:08:54.

death in June, there were many tributes laid outside the school

:08:54.:09:00.

and her family spoke of their loss. She was so confident. Everything

:09:00.:09:05.

that I could ever dream of. She wanted something, she would do it.

:09:05.:09:09.

If I could swap places with her, I would give anything to, anything at

:09:09.:09:15.

all. A new academy has been built here and as the school at -- school

:09:15.:09:22.

prepares for the beginning of term, there is much wilful improve road

:09:22.:09:26.

safety. A you cannot put a price on the life of a child. Anything that

:09:26.:09:30.

we can do around schools, that would be a great way of making sure

:09:30.:09:34.

that we can protect other children in the future. Moving the bus-stops

:09:34.:09:38.

is one option under consideration. Campaigners would also like to see

:09:38.:09:43.

a crossing installed. This road safety petition will be presented

:09:43.:09:47.

to Stoke City councillors when they meet next week. The hope is that

:09:47.:09:53.

the weight of public support will lead to changes.

:09:53.:09:59.

Other news, you pay online retailer Amazon is expecting a flood of job

:09:59.:10:03.

seekers after inviting applications for 900 posts at its new

:10:03.:10:08.

Staffordshire distribution centre. The company is moving in to raise

:10:08.:10:11.

700,000 square foot warehouse in Rugeley. The building has been

:10:11.:10:15.

empty for two years. There is a rethink on a decision to

:10:15.:10:20.

cut services for deaf children in Stoke-on-Trent. It comes after a

:10:20.:10:26.

National Deaf Children's charity took court action accusing the city

:10:26.:10:30.

council of being back less. Only three teachers would have been left

:10:30.:10:36.

for a 200 deaf children in the city. Back to lessons next week and for

:10:36.:10:39.

pupils at a school devastated by fire earlier this year, the new

:10:39.:10:40.

term brings something quite different.

:10:41.:10:45.

They are moving into part of a stately home which has brought a

:10:45.:10:52.

touch of class into the classrooms. Welcome, and interesting 18th

:10:52.:10:56.

century mansion just a couple of miles from Birmingham city centre.

:10:57.:11:00.

One-time home to injured soldiers in the First World War, it has also

:11:00.:11:06.

been home to a group of nuns. Now it is home to 360 schoolchildren. A

:11:06.:11:10.

devastating fire last April which caused �1.8 million worth of damage

:11:10.:11:17.

was the catalyst to them ending up here. The city council has paid

:11:17.:11:21.

�50,000 for alterations over the summer. We have got storage rooms

:11:21.:11:25.

which is something that we did not have before and we have got

:11:25.:11:29.

adequate classroom space as well. We have had an improved playground

:11:29.:11:33.

area, a tarmac area which is now a sports court so we have got netball

:11:33.:11:38.

courts and football courts. We are very happy with the improvements.

:11:38.:11:42.

Even with a portable toilet block to one side, it is an inspirational

:11:42.:11:46.

place for the children to learn. They love the environment. They

:11:46.:11:52.

have actually rebranded the school to call it a Hogwarts. There is a

:11:52.:11:59.

beautiful wooden staircase here. They have even named the teachers

:11:59.:12:03.

characters from Harry Potter as well. Staff volunteered to come in

:12:03.:12:08.

today to help get everything ready for the new terms. It is -- it will

:12:08.:12:11.

be nice to see it full of happy children. It is interesting to see

:12:11.:12:16.

how well the school has adapted and fits into the building. This term

:12:16.:12:21.

at Hogwarts then, they hope to be back at their old school by next

:12:21.:12:31.
:12:31.:12:36.

It is a lovely quiet corner. This is perhaps a pertinent

:12:36.:12:40.

question after last month's riots. Can music turn around the lives of

:12:40.:12:44.

young people? Children had been taking part in a programme in

:12:44.:12:49.

Birmingham which uses music to make them think about choices in their

:12:49.:12:51.

lives. They will work with teenagers who had been excluded

:12:51.:13:00.

from mainstream education. These boys have both been expelled

:13:00.:13:04.

from their mainstream schools. They are now pupils of Creating Higher

:13:04.:13:09.

Heights in Birmingham. It is a non- profit community organisation that

:13:09.:13:14.

provides an alternative education service using music. Meeting the

:13:14.:13:18.

wrong people on the street. I was kicked out of school. Them I got

:13:18.:13:22.

invited to come to Creating Higher Heights. I had been behaving much

:13:22.:13:29.

better and doing more staff with music. That is what I like to do.

:13:29.:13:34.

It gives me something to do. I like music, and if I did not have music

:13:34.:13:41.

I would be out stealing other stuff. But now the service is under threat.

:13:41.:13:47.

Unfortunately, on the two young people that we do have, it is not

:13:47.:13:52.

enough to sustain. These young people from mainstream schools have

:13:52.:13:57.

had their confidence boosted this summer. But during term-time, this

:13:57.:14:00.

service is one of 70 projects across Birmingham where pupils can

:14:00.:14:06.

be referred to if they are excluded from school. The city council says

:14:06.:14:09.

budgets in alternative education are not being squeezed, but it is a

:14:09.:14:13.

competitive industry. It is important to use music and sports

:14:13.:14:17.

as a place where young people can develop, if they do not have that

:14:17.:14:22.

they will be suppressed. And suppressed young people means

:14:22.:14:25.

writing young people. If you give them a place where they can grow,

:14:25.:14:30.

her career, they will become the founders of tomorrow's companies in

:14:30.:14:34.

arts and music. Although many of the students have talked about the

:14:34.:14:37.

benefits of the service, the reality is that is more pupils are

:14:37.:14:47.
:14:47.:14:47.

not referred in the new academic year, this facility could close.

:14:47.:14:52.

We will have more on music a bit later.

:14:52.:14:56.

At the festival season draws to a close, I will be finding out how

:14:56.:15:02.

events like this manage to survive in such an overcrowded market.

:15:02.:15:05.

But what will the weather be like for people going to Festival? Ben

:15:05.:15:09.

Rich can tell us. It has been unbeatable start to

:15:09.:15:13.

September. There will be changes over the weekend, with some rain

:15:13.:15:17.

and it will be a bit cooler. You can join me for the details and a

:15:17.:15:27.
:15:27.:15:29.

Sport now a. The big day is nearly here for fans of the Worcester

:15:29.:15:34.

Warriors, he returned to rugby's Premiership tomorrow. Nothing is

:15:34.:15:41.

being left to chance. The ground will be sparkling, and the players

:15:41.:15:43.

had been giving their all in preparation for life back in the

:15:43.:15:53.

Premiership. It is a World Cup here, so some of these big teams have

:15:53.:15:58.

their stars missing, so it is a great opportunity. To come up in

:15:58.:16:01.

the World Cup here is the best -- the best pop bridge --

:16:01.:16:11.

opportunities. Good luck to the Warriors. There will be full

:16:11.:16:15.

commentary on BBC Hereford and Worcester tomorrow from 3pm.

:16:15.:16:19.

If you are a football fan you may be as a loose end this weekend,

:16:19.:16:22.

with so many players are away on international duty there are no

:16:22.:16:26.

games in the Premier League for the championship. But there is life

:16:26.:16:31.

beyond the top two divisions. Tomorrow has been designated a non-

:16:31.:16:38.

League day. Friday's fun day here. It is time

:16:38.:16:45.

to unwind before it Saturday's big game. Everything has been decided

:16:45.:16:48.

the day before by the boss, Steve Bauer. It is good to see him

:16:48.:16:53.

smiling again. That Harriers might not have much money, but at least

:16:53.:16:56.

the club is alive and kicking in the Blue Square Premier are. The

:16:56.:17:01.

last time we met, in February, Kidderminster were on the brink of

:17:01.:17:05.

administration. But the fans rallied round, disaster was averted,

:17:05.:17:10.

and now with six games gone, they are third in the table. Was there a

:17:10.:17:15.

point when you feared the worst? was pretty grim, I must admit,

:17:15.:17:19.

round about Christmas time. But we got through that, and hopefully it

:17:19.:17:29.
:17:29.:17:29.

is behind us now a. I was at Wrexham for 13 years. That is the

:17:30.:17:34.

only team I have ever played for up apart from this one. So it is a big

:17:34.:17:39.

game for me personally, but also for the team. Tomorrow has been

:17:39.:17:42.

dubbed non-League day, when clubs like Kidderminster take centre-

:17:43.:17:46.

stage and supporters of high profile teams can experience life

:17:46.:17:51.

at the low end of the football pyramid. Some of the teams are

:17:51.:17:58.

offering cut-price admission. Or you could win 100 pints in every

:17:58.:18:08.
:18:08.:18:08.

raffle by supporting Romulus in their FA Cup tie. -- �100. For the

:18:08.:18:12.

Harriers, every day is non-League day. For everyone else, tomorrow is

:18:12.:18:16.

a great reminder that not every club on Planet Football is mega

:18:16.:18:20.

rich. He is good to see Kidderminster

:18:20.:18:25.

getting strong, after that tough time.

:18:25.:18:28.

Birmingham's Hannah England has received the silver medal -- medal

:18:28.:18:33.

she won yesterday. It was a proud moment for the former University of

:18:33.:18:36.

Birmingham student he was an unexpected medallist in the 1,500

:18:36.:18:41.

metres. And there was a personal best for Emma Jackson, in the semi-

:18:41.:18:48.

final of the 800 metres. But it was not enough to qualify for the final.

:18:48.:18:53.

Everywhere you look, there seems to be a festival. Book, -- books, art,

:18:54.:18:59.

film, dance, music. And it seems every taste is catered for, from

:18:59.:19:05.

superstar Rihanna to smaller events attracting just a few hundred. Ben

:19:05.:19:09.

Sidwell is live at the Moseley Folk Festival in Birmingham. Is there a

:19:09.:19:14.

danger that the market is becoming saturated?

:19:14.:19:19.

Your are right. If you look at the UK this year, more than 400

:19:19.:19:24.

festivals. That is a lot of festivals. And the West Midlands is

:19:24.:19:28.

one of the most popular areas. We have had more than 15 here in the

:19:28.:19:33.

last couple of months. But running your own festival is a huge

:19:33.:19:36.

financial risks. Despite that, they have been popping up across the

:19:36.:19:42.

Midlands in all shores of -- sorts of shapes and sizes.

:19:42.:19:49.

Glastonbury. Reading and Leeds. V Festival. And now, Snodfest. It

:19:49.:19:54.

seems everyone these days is putting on a music festival.

:19:54.:19:58.

have a local barrister who is in charge of security. We have a local

:19:58.:20:03.

solicitor who is in charge of stage management. The picturesque village

:20:03.:20:06.

of Upton Snodsbury does not seem the sort of place where a music

:20:06.:20:10.

festival would be held. But for the past four years, villagers have

:20:10.:20:15.

come together to hold a one-day festival which attracted over 1000

:20:15.:20:20.

people last year. What is more amazing, it costs just �8,000 to

:20:20.:20:23.

put on and any profit goes towards giving their local park and

:20:23.:20:28.

playground open. The reason it does not cost that much compared to the

:20:28.:20:32.

other festivals is that it is based on a huge amount of goodwill. Not

:20:32.:20:40.

just from the people who help, but also from the bans. We have 19 bans

:20:40.:20:46.

this year, and they are all playing for nothing. Moseley Folk Festival

:20:46.:20:50.

in Birmingham is now in its 6th year, attracting 2000 people per

:20:50.:20:54.

day to the three day event. But with so many festivals to choose

:20:54.:20:58.

from, and many of them not pulling the crowds, why do festival-goers

:20:58.:21:07.

choose this one? It has a nice atmosphere. With this one, you can

:21:07.:21:14.

can down and so that the vibe. he wants to go for more than one,

:21:14.:21:19.

especially for three days. It is worth it. Over in Tamworth, they

:21:19.:21:24.

are making for -- final preparations for a new festival,

:21:24.:21:29.

Ultrasound. With Tiny Tempah and Madness investing, organisers have

:21:29.:21:34.

had to invest big money to make it a success. We are conscious of the

:21:34.:21:37.

situation in the market, and with some festivals that have not

:21:37.:21:41.

managed to sustain themselves. But from what we have looked at, a lot

:21:41.:21:46.

of them were small events that will make a jump on the bandwagon. And

:21:46.:21:48.

they have overstretched themselves this year, and they have suffered

:21:48.:21:53.

because of it. All three festivals intends to be back next year. The

:21:54.:21:57.

chances are by then, there will be even more competing for the same

:21:57.:22:03.

audience. As you can see behind me, lots of people already enjoying

:22:03.:22:10.

Moseley Folk Festival. We have said festivals are a massive financial

:22:10.:22:15.

risk. How do people managed to put so many on across the country?

:22:15.:22:19.

it has become quite trendy at the moment for everyone to put

:22:19.:22:24.

festivals on. But the main thing for us, it is their 6th year now,

:22:24.:22:27.

it is steady growth every year, taking it easy and not trying to

:22:27.:22:32.

jump through a gap. I think a lot of people tried to make a massive

:22:32.:22:35.

success straight away. The key thing for us is that we have a

:22:35.:22:40.

diverse line-up. And I think compared the other festivals,

:22:40.:22:44.

sometimes it is the same bands playing and it is quite as generic.

:22:44.:22:48.

Do you think of festival like this, it has its own audience, is that

:22:49.:22:52.

what it is about? Is you will survive you have to be slightly

:22:52.:22:56.

different? Yes, I think the line-up is the main things. That has

:22:56.:23:00.

attracted the ball straight away. And the main thing is the venue

:23:00.:23:06.

itself. We are up in Birmingham city centre but we could be in the

:23:06.:23:11.

middle of a forest, that is one of our main attractions. We were at V

:23:11.:23:18.

Festival St weeks ago, the one act of �1 million for 90 minutes. Most

:23:18.:23:27.

people cannot compete with that. Obviously the garage bands that as

:23:27.:23:33.

a bad Budget. We know our limits now it's. And we know if we sell

:23:33.:23:38.

out, what we can afford. And we just have to budget around that.

:23:38.:23:42.

Hopefully we will be here for the next 10 to 15 years or even longer

:23:42.:23:45.

have all stopped any advice for someone who is thinking of setting

:23:45.:23:51.

up a Festival? Taking the easy. I think that festivals have a

:23:51.:23:55.

successful first year and break even, and then they tried to grow

:23:55.:24:00.

too quickly. I would say take your time. They are sold out tomorrow.

:24:00.:24:07.

And a lot of people are coming down here. So I am sure anyone else who

:24:07.:24:11.

wants to start a festival in the Midlands will have success as well.

:24:11.:24:15.

He has been all over the place this summer, hasn't he? He has had a

August. Let me take you back to Bank Holiday Monday, temperatures

:24:53.:24:57.

in some parts of our region only reached 11 degrees Celsius.

:24:57.:25:02.

Elsewhere, only into the mid-teens. Today we have had it a good --

:25:02.:25:06.

added a good eight degrees to that. Can it last into the weekend? It

:25:07.:25:10.

looks as though it will be a warm start to the weekend, but things

:25:10.:25:14.

will cool down as we go through, and there will be some rain

particularly on Saturday night. You can see there is a lot of cloud out

:25:22.:25:27.

some of it has already started to move in. It will continue to stream

its way in throughout the evening. Quite low and thick cloud, it could

than 12 to 14 degrees Celsius. Tomorrow morning, there will be a

:25:41.:25:46.

lot of cloud around at the start of the day. But it should be in and

:25:46.:25:51.

break through the day. Particularly, the further east you are. In the

:25:51.:25:55.

afternoon, more a thick cloud working its way into the West. Some

:25:55.:25:57.

rain for Shropshire and Staffordshire by the end of the

:25:57.:26:03.

days. But still warm. Temperatures up to 23 degrees Celsius. Tomorrow

:26:03.:26:07.

night, that weather fronts slits eastwards across the region, that

:26:07.:26:11.

will bring wet-weather for all of us. It should Clear slowly through

:26:11.:26:16.

Sunday, some doubts about how quickly that will happen. But much

:26:16.:26:21.

cooler by then as well, highs of 19 or 20 degrees Celsius. Next week,

:26:21.:26:26.

things look quite unsettled and changeable. Windy with showers on

:26:26.:26:31.

Monday, heavy showers on Tuesday, as temperatures well down. A

:26:31.:26:34.

changeable out look, but at least over the weekend the weather should

over the weekend the weather should I have been to a few festivals in

Finally, after 37 years of broadcasting five days a week for

:27:18.:27:22.

the West Midlands, Ed Doolan has presented his last show in its

current format. He is going to be taking things a little bit more

easy as he will still present a lunchtime show on Friday and a
