:03:50. > :03:52.agreed to try and bring all parties In recent years, wild

:03:56. > :03:56.have been claims that not enough
:03:57. > :03:58.is being done. Our Gloucestershire reporter
:03:59. > :04:13.Steve Knibbs has just Welcome and the meeting has just
:04:14. > :04:17.finished. By to say was seated an understatement. There were calls to
:04:18. > :04:22.call all of the boar, calls to -- calls calls to manage them, to use
:04:23. > :04:27.contraception, claims that the Forestry Commission and District
:04:28. > :04:30.Council and local MP were not doing enough and also claims the damage in
:04:31. > :04:35.the Forest of Dean is affecting tourism and people do want to come.
:04:36. > :04:41.A lot of taking. This is the chairman. A lot of big views from
:04:42. > :04:47.the public. Yes, but we expected it is. We knew this was happening. We
:04:48. > :04:50.knew people had different views. We said quite clearly that people had
:04:51. > :04:58.different ideas and we respected them. This was the first step,
:04:59. > :05:02.what's the next step? One thing that will happen from now is we will
:05:03. > :05:07.probably look to having a sit down meeting with the MP, the Forest of
:05:08. > :05:12.murderers and the Forestry Commission. Trying get every one of
:05:13. > :05:15.the same room. Seek legal advice to see what the standing is all the
:05:16. > :05:21.while boar and try and sit everyone down and get to the bottom of where
:05:22. > :05:23.we go forward. But at the moment, there is no coordinated approach to
:05:24. > :05:30.get something done. And that is what we are looking to do. Baby steps for
:05:31. > :05:34.now, and it was a bit difficult in places, but we will under no
:05:35. > :05:42.illusions when we started. Sounds like quite a challenge. A small step
:05:43. > :05:46.to light to finding a solution to the issues regarding the while boar
:05:47. > :05:50.in the Forest of Dean and as I said, we will follow at every step of the
:05:51. > :05:50.way and I think it will be a long running issue.
:05:51. > :05:55.Now there's a pool with a new name in Wiltshire tonight -
:05:56. > :05:59.Corsham's pool was re-named after its local paralympic swimming star.
:06:00. > :06:03.And tomorrow another honour awaits the champion as Stephanie
:06:04. > :06:10.Stephanie Millward was just ten years old when she started swimming
:06:11. > :06:13.She could never have dreamt that one day, she would be
:06:14. > :06:20.I've been coming here at six o'clock in the morning for years and years.
:06:21. > :06:23.And it's not Springfield's pool anymore, it's
:06:24. > :06:31.She's been honoured not just because of her huge
:06:32. > :06:34.Paralympic success, two golds at Rio last year,
:06:35. > :06:35.but also to recognise the
:06:36. > :06:41.That is because at age 17 and showing huge
:06:42. > :06:42.promise in the pool, Stephanie was diagnosed
:06:43. > :06:51.Doctors said she would probably never swim
:06:52. > :06:52.again and would end up in
:06:53. > :06:56.And boy, was she determined to prove them wrong.
:06:57. > :06:58.Now, nearly 25 years later, she's a Paralympic champion
:06:59. > :07:01.I thought, yeah, I've still got that dream and
:07:02. > :07:07.I didn't think that 18 years later I would still be here
:07:08. > :07:16.Today, it's Corsham for the renaming
:07:17. > :07:18.Tomorrow, it's Buckingham Palace to receive an MBE.
:07:19. > :07:20.And Corsham's Golden girl is enjoying
:07:21. > :07:33.Now, there were two very familiar faces among the students
:07:34. > :07:35.receiving their degrees from Bristol University today.
:07:36. > :07:36.Don Cameron, Founder of Bristol Balloon Fiesta
:07:37. > :07:39.and the man behind Cameron Balloons now has an honorary
:07:40. > :07:44.And comedian Matt Lucas was honored, too.
:07:45. > :07:47.The Little Britain star studied drama at the university until 1995,
:07:48. > :07:50.and found fame in Shooting Stars and for playing Vicky Pollard.
:07:51. > :07:52.Well, David Garmston spoke to Matt earlier about being made
:07:53. > :08:09.Comedian Matt Lucas, a master of dressing up,
:08:10. > :08:12.donned yet another costume to become a Doctor of Letters,
:08:13. > :08:13.from a university he left without a degree.
:08:14. > :08:19.I've been made a Doctor of Letters by the Bristol
:08:20. > :08:25.But I didn't know that you hadn't finished your course
:08:26. > :08:26.when you were here at Bristol University.
:08:27. > :08:28.No, I did two years at Bristol University
:08:29. > :08:34.and then I left in 1995, because during my second year
:08:35. > :08:37.I was filming Shooting Stars and it all sort of blew up,
:08:38. > :08:43.really, so I left with the intention of just taking one year off.
:08:44. > :08:48.I left with the intention of taking just one year off,
:08:49. > :08:59.No, but yeah, but no, because what happened was, right,
:09:00. > :09:00.something you don't know nothing about.
:09:01. > :09:03.Shut up, I wasn't even supposed to be anywhere even near there.
:09:04. > :09:06.I always think of Vicky Pollard, who's now become almost...
:09:07. > :09:14.Yeah, it's always a surprise to me, but even today, when there's a story
:09:15. > :09:17.about someone with an ASBO or something like that in the paper,
:09:18. > :09:20.then you will see a picture of Vicky Pollard next to them,
:09:21. > :09:30.And on the stage here today we had some professor,
:09:31. > :09:32.a very learned man, saying yeah but no but.
:09:33. > :09:58.That is it for us tonight. And leave you with the weather. .
:09:59. > :10:06.Tomorrow looks try once again. It will be a mild day and they will be
:10:07. > :10:11.tricky to gauge the cloud. A lot of cloud around, but some areas may
:10:12. > :10:15.have something brighter. We currently have some patchy rain
:10:16. > :10:21.about across northern parts of the region, including a few spots here
:10:22. > :10:26.in Bristol. That will die away if you -- through the first half of the
:10:27. > :10:31.night. There may just be a bit off tomorrow, certainly some areas of
:10:32. > :10:36.low cloud and then there's a question of what degree of
:10:37. > :10:41.brightness we see through central areas of the region, North South.
:10:42. > :10:45.Toward the West, cloud increases in the afternoon. That introduces
:10:46. > :10:51.patchy, light rain into the evening. Further eastwards, it will stay dry.
:10:52. > :10:55.The winds-macro will be the lights tomorrow. My old, lower double
:10:56. > :11:01.figures across the region, nine Celsius. It will continue to be mild
:11:02. > :11:02.into the weekend. Apart from a bit of rain,
:11:03. > :11:09.forthcoming weekend. Here is Nick Miller with a resume of the National
:11:10. > :11:13.weather picture. Hello, rain for some of us today
:11:14. > :11:17.although it won't make much of a dent in the dry winter so far across
:11:18. > :11:21.much of the UK. A few threatening clouds in Cumbria but more than a
:11:22. > :11:23.threat of rain across the pond for Friday. The
