:08:11. > :08:14.A firm which makes equipment for people with disabilities has had a
:08:14. > :08:19.dramatic drop in orders. The company says Primary Care Trusts
:08:19. > :08:23.are not spending so much in equipment and feared they will lose
:08:23. > :08:27.more business when the NHS is we organised next year.
:08:27. > :08:34.It went very quiet during the mid- part of last year, almost as if the
:08:34. > :08:38.lights went out. The past year has brought dark times at Quest 88 in
:08:38. > :08:43.Shifnal. They manufacture equipment for disabled children. We have had
:08:43. > :08:51.a 20 % decrease in orders during this time which has made it
:08:51. > :08:56.difficult and we have to find ways of adjusting, and cutting our cloth.
:08:56. > :09:02.Unfortunately it meant we took a 2% pay decrease across the board and
:09:02. > :09:05.also we had to two and voluntary redundancies. The farm supplies
:09:05. > :09:10.equipment across England but believes fewer orders are down to
:09:10. > :09:15.more NHS cuts. They are relying on this disability exhibition at the
:09:15. > :09:19.NEC to bring new business. This time next year the company fears it
:09:19. > :09:23.will lose up to 70 % of its business because of changes to the
:09:23. > :09:28.NHS which will see Primary Care Trusts scrapped and 8% of the
:09:28. > :09:34.Budget in England handed over to GP lead groups. The solution say some
:09:34. > :09:41.is to adapt or died. If companies had not seen these changes coming
:09:41. > :09:46.in the Health and Social Care Act, they could catch a cold. They do
:09:46. > :09:50.need to diversify and understand the changes. It is these types of

:10:07. > :10:13.why doubt the hard times ahead. Still to come: electric cars - are
:10:13. > :10:21.they here to stay? The UK's largest trial has come to an end so perhaps
:10:22. > :10:25.we will find out in a moment. The Labour leader Ed Miliband has
:10:25. > :10:30.been in Birmingham today rallying support for his party's local
:10:30. > :10:35.election campaign. With less than two days to go, the city has
:10:35. > :10:42.emerged as the party's prime target as it battles to regain control
:10:42. > :10:45.from the coalition which has run the city for the last eight years.
:10:45. > :10:50.He launched his party's election campaign in Birmingham and he was
:10:50. > :10:55.here again as it reached its climax. Winning it back would be what he
:10:55. > :11:00.needs to quell those leadership doubts. We are putting forward a
:11:00. > :11:05.positive programme in this election. How we can make a difference, a
:11:05. > :11:10.living wage, building homes, apprenticeships, answering the real
:11:10. > :11:19.economic challenges we face. city's new library shows that
:11:19. > :11:23.global aspirations of the ruling coalition. But like them they have
:11:23. > :11:29.also face co-ordinated protest against unprecedented spending cuts.
:11:29. > :11:33.One third of the 120 seats are up. Labour is already the biggest
:11:33. > :11:42.single party. The Conservatives defend half their 39 seats and the
:11:42. > :11:47.Lib Dems half their 24. I can guarantee low taxation, major
:11:47. > :11:52.savings, cutting out back of this that will then be invested into
:11:52. > :11:56.frontline services. We have cleaned up Birmingham. We have placed
:11:56. > :11:59.sustainability at the top of our agenda to make sure that the
:11:59. > :12:04.environment is important and we put the citizen at the centre of
:12:04. > :12:08.everything we have done. We need to get people back into work,
:12:08. > :12:13.especially the young people back into work and so we set out a
:12:13. > :12:18.series of initiatives making Birmingham the enterprise capital.
:12:18. > :12:23.Control of a local authority serving one million people is a big
:12:23. > :12:28.enough deal but politically the key test is that the last damp the
:12:28. > :12:33.seats were contested, the Tories were enjoying a surge in support.
:12:33. > :12:38.Can they hang on now to what they won the then? Labour are convinced
:12:38. > :12:44.that Birmingham can signal a decisive turning of the tide
:12:44. > :12:48.against the coalitions are And Patrick is at the Council House
:12:48. > :12:53.now. Interesting to see how the party leaders defined their
:12:53. > :12:58.campaigns. What do you make of their big campaign themes? Well,
:12:58. > :13:01.definition I think is the keyword. The two coalition partners are
:13:01. > :13:07.going out of their way to show they have separate messages in these
:13:07. > :13:12.elections, whereas Labour, a waters considered to be safe ground, on
:13:12. > :13:17.unemployment. And we are also up to the mayoral referendums. What is
:13:17. > :13:22.the latest situation with those? Certainly in Birmingham, it has got
:13:22. > :13:28.all the makings of a very close-run thing. There has been nervousness
:13:28. > :13:35.on the part of the yes camp. So many might see it as a surprised
:13:35. > :13:41.abutment where two candidates have put their party differences to one
:13:41. > :13:45.side to campaign directly for an elected mayor. On Thursday, we vote
:13:45. > :13:50.yes to an elected mayor, a mayor represents all about people, and I
:13:50. > :13:54.think that is a great thing. A democratic and open thing.
:13:54. > :13:58.although there is cross-party support, there are divisions within
:13:58. > :14:04.the big parties about having an elected mayor at all? Yes. We have
:14:04. > :14:11.seen very senior figures from the three parties coming out against it.
:14:11. > :14:14.But one party which is united is the UK Independence Party. We don't
:14:14. > :14:19.know whether in practice the new mayor will actually do away with
:14:19. > :14:26.the idea of a leader, and a fat doorway with a lot of that local
:14:26. > :14:32.democracy and arable Willett, -- and in fact do away with. And also
:14:32. > :14:38.on Thursday, elections in 17 other district councils. We must remember
:14:38. > :14:42.there is another set of elections altogether. Parish elections. This
:14:42. > :14:46.is where our democracy gets up and close and personal with our
:14:46. > :14:52.electorate. In some cases, they only have a few hundred people in
:14:52. > :14:57.them, but where there is an election in them, it is a full-on,
:14:57. > :15:00.all-out election for a four-year term. So if you have one in your
:15:00. > :15:04.area, you will know about it. you.
:15:04. > :15:07.Are we any closer to deciding what we think about electric cars?
:15:07. > :15:10.Perhaps we are, as the UK's largest ever study into the use of low-
:15:10. > :15:13.carbon vehicles draws to a close. Drivers who took part tested more
:15:13. > :15:17.than 100 all-electric cars. Data collected in the trials shows
:15:17. > :15:19.they're cheap to run and ideal for the daily commute to work. Our
:15:19. > :15:22.transport correspondent, Peter Plisner, is in Solihull at the
:15:22. > :15:32.headquarters of the company that managed the project. Peter, has the
:15:32. > :15:38.trial proved successful? Pretty successful. Here are some of the
:15:38. > :15:43.cars involved in the trial for a variety of different manufacturers.
:15:43. > :15:49.Over 110 vehicles in all. Here are some interesting facts that have
:15:49. > :15:57.emerged already. The average charge time was two to three hours. The
:15:57. > :16:02.cost of the charge was a 30 to 80p - incredibly cheap. Earlier today,
:16:02. > :16:07.we went out with one of the drivers involved in the trial.
:16:07. > :16:10.Gloomy, damp and miserable. But not even today's wet weather could
:16:10. > :16:13.dampen Craig Pullen's spirit. He's been lifted by the fact that
:16:13. > :16:17.driving an electric car has been saving him a fortune. It is almost
:16:17. > :16:24.exactly the same as driving a conventional automatic vehicle,
:16:24. > :16:29.with the exception of it being fairly silent, as there is no noise
:16:29. > :16:32.from Reading, and it is limited to a top speed of 65 mph. The CABLED
:16:32. > :16:36.was launched more than two years ago in sunnier weather than today.
:16:36. > :16:43.In all, 110 vehicles have been tested, but for many of the drivers,
:16:43. > :16:46.the biggest issue has been range anxiety. Factors such as the
:16:46. > :16:50.weather - if it is rainy light today, and I have to have the
:16:50. > :16:55.windscreen wipers and light and heating on, but also does have an
:16:55. > :16:57.effect on the range of the vehicle. Craig charges his car at work and
:16:57. > :17:05.doesn't pay anything for the electricity he uses. So the big
:17:05. > :17:09.question is, how much is he saving? Prior to using his vehicle, I had a
:17:09. > :17:15.conventional of its -- diesel car and that was costing me somewhere
:17:15. > :17:23.in the region of �300 per month. And that was at last year's your
:17:23. > :17:28.prices, so this says me in excess of �300 every month. -- fuel prices.
:17:28. > :17:32.The trial Craig is taking part in has shown electric cars can be
:17:32. > :17:40.affordable and are a highly practical transport solution. It is
:17:40. > :17:43.predicted that by 2020, but we sold around the world will be electric.
:17:43. > :17:45.And increasing sales could also mean more jobs in the Midlands. The
:17:45. > :17:52.Smart cars used in the trial were converted to electric in
:17:52. > :17:56.Staffordshire. Joining me here is Neil Butcher, a member of the
:17:56. > :18:01.company managing the trial. They are very expensive to buy eye?
:18:01. > :18:05.have got to remember this is very early stages of development. -- you
:18:05. > :18:10.have got to remember. As more vehicles come on the market and
:18:10. > :18:15.prices are starting to reduce already commanders that moves on,
:18:15. > :18:20.we expect prices to continue to drop. But the batteries cost a lot
:18:20. > :18:24.of money? Yes. That is going to change a little but not that much.
:18:24. > :18:27.What we are seeing is that some manufacturers are splitting the car
:18:27. > :18:31.from the battery, so you purchase the car and then lease the battery
:18:31. > :18:37.and that takes some of the risk of the battery and the life of the
:18:37. > :18:43.battery, which only might be four or five years, but you can get a
:18:43. > :18:47.new lease. And also the prices are much more similar to a conventional
:18:47. > :18:51.car in that the price of a car is the same and the least price of the
:18:51. > :18:56.battery is similar to the cost of petrol. And of course there is
:18:56. > :19:01.still the range. 100 miles is as good as you will get. Many drivers
:19:01. > :19:05.have complained about range anxiety? Yes. They will not suit
:19:05. > :19:10.everybody and they are designed for shorter journeys. And we have got
:19:10. > :19:15.remember most people only trouble something like 25, 30 miles a day,
:19:15. > :19:21.so for most people these are fine. Very briefly, are there enough
:19:21. > :19:27.trudging points? Not yet, but as more and more cars come onto the
:19:27. > :19:30.road, we will be putting more on. - charging points. Sales are

:20:22. > :20:27.can help you. And while we do that, they are fighting their battles

:20:41. > :20:43.acres to ex-servicemen. But two years after Mr Finlay's application,
:20:43. > :20:51.he's heard nothing from the Trust, which is now overseen by
:20:51. > :20:54.Herefordshire Council. I've spoken to Alan Buchanan's nephew, who
:20:54. > :20:57.didn't want to be interviewed on camera because he said he was in

:21:43. > :21:46.application from Mr Finlay and his charity, it says: The Trust is
:21:46. > :21:52.seeking to expand its powers to allow it to operate jointly with
:21:52. > :21:57.other charities and voluntary organisations. I have been fighting
:21:57. > :22:00.for 20 odd years. I am not going to give up on this one, no.
:22:00. > :22:07.Charity Commission say they are working with the Trust. Tony Finlay
:22:07. > :22:11.says this is a battle he's determined to win.
:22:11. > :22:14.Let's talk about football now. Roy Hodgson's first job as the new
:22:14. > :22:18.England manager will be to complete the Premier League season with West
:22:18. > :22:21.Bromwich Albion. Hodgson has signed a four-year deal with the FA. But
:22:21. > :22:24.he's staying in charge for Albion's last two games against Bolton and
:22:24. > :22:27.Arsenal. Today, the Birmingham City boss Chris Hughton spoke about the
:22:27. > :22:29.speculation linking him with the vacancy at West Brom, as Ian Winter
:22:29. > :22:31.reports. The vacant England manager's chair
:22:31. > :22:34.was officially filled this afternoon. But Roy Hodgson's
:22:34. > :22:42.arrival creates another vacant manager's chair at West Bromwich
:22:42. > :22:46.Albion. The job he has done at West Brom shows his ability to build a
:22:46. > :22:53.team with the resources available and he is on course to take the
:22:53. > :22:56.club to their highest finish for many years. I'm a very happy man to
:22:56. > :23:00.have been offered the chance to manage my country and I am looking
:23:00. > :23:03.forward to it. Whilst Roy was tackling the national press at
:23:03. > :23:05.Wembley, Steven Reid was at the University of Worcester. The West
:23:05. > :23:11.Brom defender was supporting the new Albion Foundation to encourage
:23:11. > :23:17.the next generation of fans to support the Baggies. What sort of
:23:17. > :23:19.manager do they need now to replace Roy Hodgson? It could be anybody.
:23:20. > :23:25.Obviously we will trust the board and down Ashworth and those who
:23:25. > :23:31.make the decisions Torpoint the right manager for the job. -- to a
:23:31. > :23:34.point. So will it be third time lucky? And if so, is the name of
:23:34. > :23:37.Chris Hughton flickering brightly on the Albion radar? He almost got
:23:37. > :23:40.the job just before they appointed Roy Hodgson. And that's when
:23:40. > :23:43.Birmingham City stepped in. So no wonder the bookies believe he's a
:23:43. > :23:47.strong candidate, which is all speculation the Blues could well do
:23:47. > :23:52.without before Friday's play-off semi-final against Blackpool.
:23:52. > :23:57.cannot affect any speculation. I can only deal with things that of
:23:57. > :24:03.fact. We have two massive games in front of us and our focus has to be
:24:03. > :24:07.on that and will be on that, and at this moment, it is taking 100% of
:24:07. > :24:10.my focus. Albion fans aren't the only ones wishing good luck to Roy
:24:10. > :24:17.Hodgson. And Steven Reid isn't the only player hoping West Brom pick
:24:17. > :24:22.the right man to succeed him at the Hawthorns.
:24:22. > :24:29.The ramifications of fascinating. And we were talking about this last

:24:51. > :24:55.Yes! The wettest April on record has not been great. But we have a
:24:55. > :25:00.mix of dry and Wet weather, so not as willing as as the last couple of
:25:00. > :25:06.weeks. But with flood alerts and warnings around, this is the number

:25:10. > :25:16.we can see the cloud has moved to the North and we still have a few
:25:16. > :25:21.showers and light, patchy rain. But the region will end up much drier.
:25:21. > :25:26.But a lot of low cloud with all that moisture in the air and quite
:25:26. > :25:31.warm conditions, with temperatures going no lower than a degrees. A
:25:31. > :25:37.lot of mistiness by the morning. A grim, grey start to tomorrow, but
:25:37. > :25:42.at least it will be dry. If we have rain, it could crop up in the form
:25:42. > :25:47.of showers in the afternoon. They could be quite heavy where they
