:00:50. > :00:52.Hundreds of people have been protesting in Bath tonight,

:00:53. > :00:55.at a meeting to decide where to put a new Park and ride scheme.

:00:56. > :00:59.The council was deciding which of two sites to put the car park on.

:01:00. > :01:01.There has been a long campaign against both plans

:01:02. > :01:05.Well, now they have have decided which one to go for -

:01:06. > :01:08.and it is the one which was know as site "B".

:01:09. > :01:16.But people have said tonight they are still angry.

:01:17. > :01:22.Pretty upset but I suppose it was inevitable. We didn't think we were

:01:23. > :01:24.ever going to shift the opinion of this council, try as we might.

:01:30. > :01:48.Welcome to Where we just finished a marathon council meeting, two hours

:01:49. > :01:53.of which taken up by public statements. We had a decision in the

:01:54. > :02:03.end, that the council would prefer to build on the second sight. East

:02:04. > :02:07.of Bath. Joining me is the leader of the Council, Tim Warren. A lot of

:02:08. > :02:13.accusations flying around, can you put a couple of things to bed? Will

:02:14. > :02:18.this reduce congestion? It will around the city of Bath. If you have

:02:19. > :02:23.800 cars driving around looking to 800 cars driving around looking to

:02:24. > :02:26.park then it must. Where the Trevor Nyakane boats going through your

:02:27. > :02:31.mind because you have vociferous opposition who have done their

:02:32. > :02:38.homework. It is a huge opposition but what we mustn't forget is that

:02:39. > :02:42.are even more in favour of it. You always get, they are called Silent

:02:43. > :02:48.minorities but they are not and they have said where they're coming from.

:02:49. > :02:52.If they are silent how do you know their earlier. The silent majority

:02:53. > :02:56.don't commit in public so much. We got a lot of business and residents

:02:57. > :03:02.meetings and we speak to neighbouring councils and the

:03:03. > :03:08.support we have got, this is the big picture. All these people live there

:03:14. > :03:19.talking about another 11,000 jobs are these people need to get in and

:03:20. > :03:25.out and the city is full up. As soon as anything stops me that capacity

:03:26. > :03:30.in the city comes to a you. This is the start of a very long process and

:03:31. > :03:32.we still have to have a business case and planning applications so

:03:33. > :03:33.plenty more time in the future of people to have their say.

:04:20. > :04:22.Her daughter Joanna says she is worried it could now

:04:23. > :04:27.Inevitably, it is going to have a really significant impact,

:04:28. > :04:30.not just on her but on other people as well, other older people

:04:31. > :04:34.who might use that park who will feel unsafe to go out so it

:04:53. > :04:54.She was really shocked and upset at how she looked

:04:55. > :04:57.and also worried about, she is going to look like that

:05:09. > :05:10.She was walking her dog in Eastville Park on Monday

:05:11. > :05:12.afternoon and it appears she was attacked from behind

:05:13. > :05:15.and her handbag pulled off her shoulder and she fell flat

:05:16. > :05:27.She doesn't remember what happened but she has told her daughter

:05:28. > :05:29.she thinks she remembers seeing a bike circling around before

:05:30. > :05:31.the attack and she saw somebody cycling away

:05:32. > :05:34.Police have called the assault on Naomi despicable

:05:35. > :05:37.and asked for the public's help to trace her attacker.

:05:38. > :05:39.They've appealed for anyone who was in Eastville Park on Monday

:05:40. > :05:49.lunchtime to get in touch with any information they might have.

:05:50. > :05:53.A man from Wiltshire whose son died when he was hit by a car is calling

:05:54. > :05:55.on the government to increase sentences for death

:05:56. > :05:59.Major Richard Gilbey's son James was knocked over and left for dead

:06:00. > :06:01.by two men who were jailed for eight years.

:06:02. > :06:08.Here's our Home Affairs Correspondent, Charlotte Callen.

:06:09. > :06:10.This is just another step in Major Richard Gilbey's fight

:06:11. > :06:15.At the door of 10 Downing Street - handing in a 16,000 strong petition

:06:16. > :06:22.asking the Prime Minister for her support.

:06:23. > :06:25.We are just handing that in in the hope it will help support

:06:26. > :06:27.the public consultation and raise awareness and take this forward

:06:28. > :06:30.another step to get justice for James and others and an increase

:06:31. > :06:33.in the maximum sentence and a change in the sentencing guidelines.

:06:34. > :06:39.It is a campaign he wishes he'd never had to be part of.

:06:40. > :06:42.But in July 2015 his 25-year-old son James was mown

:06:43. > :06:52.The two men responsible had been racing through Leeds

:06:53. > :06:58.at speeds of up to 80mph - James didn't stand a chance.

:06:59. > :07:00.Malik and Mahmood were sentenced to eight years in prison -

:07:01. > :07:05.but are likely to be released after just four.

:07:06. > :07:07.Malik, the driver who hit James, had 35 previous convictions

:07:08. > :07:16.They gave James a death sentence and they gave me,

:07:17. > :07:21.my wife and my daughter a life sentence.

:07:22. > :07:25.The maximum sentence a judge can give in these cases is 14 years -

:07:26. > :07:29.but the average time offenders spend in prison is under years.

:07:30. > :07:33.That according to Major Gilbey and others is simply not enough.

:07:34. > :07:35.Under new plans being considered the government could extend

:07:36. > :07:37.the maximum sentence to life imprisonment - that's

:07:38. > :07:43.We know that nothing is enough for taking someone's

:07:44. > :07:50.life and sentences can't really reflect that.

:07:51. > :07:53.It's going to mean that judges who are deciding on these cases,

:07:54. > :07:56.trying to work out what sort of sentences should be imposed,

:07:57. > :07:59.I'm going to have more scope to add greater punishment to those who have

:08:00. > :08:12.been involved in the most serious cases.

:08:13. > :08:19.I'm very confident that the consultation will result in changing

:08:20. > :08:22.the law for the worst sort of death by dangerous driving to be tried on

:08:23. > :08:28.the same tariff of manslaughter which is effectively is. The

:08:29. > :08:32.Ministry of Justice told me today they are determined to make sure

:08:33. > :08:38.those who drive dangerously and kill face the full force of the law. The

:08:39. > :08:40.consultation ends in one week and should report back later this year.

:08:41. > :08:43.Two students from the University of Bristol have decided to make

:08:44. > :08:45.a formal complaint to the police about racial abuse they've

:08:46. > :08:49.Timi Areeo and Tami SoTeer told us yesterday they'd been subjected

:08:50. > :09:00.to bullying and offensive comments from students nationwide.

:09:01. > :09:05.these people are in the minority and these people are in the minority and

:09:06. > :09:11.should be brought to justice for the stuff they have put us through. We

:09:12. > :09:14.would like to see something done, even if it's just telling them they

:09:15. > :09:18.The pair have also agreed to talk to the university's pro vice

:09:19. > :09:22.chancellor who contacted them to arrange a meeting

:09:23. > :09:26.A fund, to pay for treatment for a swan shot with a crossbow

:09:27. > :09:27.in Cheltenham, has gone up to ?3,500.

:09:28. > :09:30.George the swan was found on Pitteville Lake yesterday

:09:31. > :09:32.with the bolt from the crossbow in his neck.

:09:33. > :09:34.He's still in a critical condition at the Vale Wildlife Hospital.

:09:35. > :09:46.The police are investigating the attack.

:09:47. > :09:52.That's it from others, more news on the BBC website and your local radio

:09:53. > :09:53.station where you are. Back with you and breakfast but for now, good

:09:54. > :10:05.night and the forecast. The breezes packing up and as the

:10:06. > :10:10.leading to tomorrow, that breezes going to be giving a marked

:10:11. > :10:12.wind-chill sought a pretty raw feeling day all round, a lot of

:10:13. > :10:16.clouds around as well but brightening up from the south as we

:10:17. > :10:22.head through the course of the afternoon. The cloud cover tending

:10:23. > :10:26.to thicken up and they list the resulting temperature across the

:10:27. > :10:31.region by daybreak, might even be a few like grains of snow blowing

:10:32. > :10:34.around as well and some drizzle. That may well freeze onto surfaces

:10:35. > :10:37.so the risk of ice about in some spots through tomorrow morning and a

:10:38. > :10:42.lot of cloud around but you will notice from the South how the skies

:10:43. > :10:45.are starting to break up and clear what an uncertain progression and we

:10:46. > :10:51.can expect some of that to be reaching for the North words by the

:10:52. > :10:58.tail end of the day. Winds will be a factor so they the ambient

:10:59. > :10:59.temperature, around 2-5, but by midday, if you factor in the

:11:00. > :11:11.strength of the bodies it'll be Good evening. If you think it was

:11:12. > :11:15.cold today, for many it will be colder still tomorrow. Cold even

:11:16. > :11:18.when we have the sunshine today. This was one of the wonderful

:11:19. > :11:23.weather watcher pictures we had sent in from Cornwall. It contrasts with

:11:24. > :11:28.a cloudy and foggy eastern half of the country, and a bank of cloud.

:11:29. > :11:32.Still foggy, but it is starting to lift. It is being pushed north and

:11:33. > :11:35.west, this bank of cloud. That will continue through the night. We will

:11:36. > :11:41.still have some fog sitting on the hills. Even with the cloud, it will

:11:42. > :11:45.be a cold night, with temperatures away from the far north and west

:11:46. > :11:49.falling to freezing. In the countryside, well below freezing.

:11:50. > :11:53.And on the wind and it will feel better, it already feels better.

:11:54. > :11:56.Giving us some freezing drizzle and snow as well. Although the fog will

:11:57. > :11:57.not be as extensive as recent nights,
