:00:12. > :00:16.Good evening. The problems resulting from flooding could last for months,
:00:17. > :00:22.the Environment Agency's warned today. Meanwhile at Lydd in Kent,
:00:23. > :00:27.lorries sent to pump water `way are now apparently upsetting sole
:00:28. > :00:33.residents who haven't been flooded. John Young has been investigating.
:00:34. > :00:41.The water levels have been too high here for months. This is how many
:00:42. > :00:51.families have been coping. That will be our toilet to use. We have no
:00:52. > :00:57.other option. Since the Chrhstmas storms things have just got worse. A
:00:58. > :01:00.new development. In a different part of the village cars were
:01:01. > :01:06.deliberately parked across this road to prevent the lorries that come to
:01:07. > :01:13.pump the water away. The police sorted it out but you can hdar why.
:01:14. > :01:16.The noise. 24 times per day from dawn until midnight might frustrate
:01:17. > :01:24.the residents who have not been flooded. Back in a flooded property,
:01:25. > :01:29.E disabled resident called le this. We need a solution, they nedd a
:01:30. > :01:36.solution. The whole country needs a solution. It is like we are
:01:37. > :01:42.drowning. People need to work together to help alleviate this and
:01:43. > :01:49.to block the tankers, I just cannot fathom it. Every community that has
:01:50. > :01:58.been flooded does not having courage in use. The chalk aquifers `re full,
:01:59. > :02:04.that would not normally happen until March but they are a good month
:02:05. > :02:10.early and we still have unsdttled weather to come. The situathon might
:02:11. > :02:13.not get better for some timd. The consequences, it seems, rem`in. A
:02:14. > :02:16.teenager has been airlifted to hospital with life`threatenhng head
:02:17. > :02:20.injuries after he collided with a car on the M23 this morning. A
:02:21. > :02:23.section of the motorway near Crawley was closed in both directions to
:02:24. > :02:26.allow the air ambulance to reach the 19`year`old pedestrian and take him
:02:27. > :02:31.to London. The road has now reopened. It's been revealed that a
:02:32. > :02:34.re`think by Kent County Council on changes to their subsidised bus
:02:35. > :02:38.service for school children, was influenced by local bus companies.
:02:39. > :02:41.To save money the council w`nted to limit the amount of journeys 11 to
:02:42. > :02:45.16`year`olds could take with the freedom pass, which would cost some
:02:46. > :02:50.parents a lot more and lead to 000 signing online petitions. KCC came
:02:51. > :02:53.up with a new proposal this week, students could now have unlhmited
:02:54. > :03:04.travel until 7pm on weekdays, but the cost of the pass would double to
:03:05. > :03:10.?200. We have had the bus companies come to the table and hammer out a
:03:11. > :03:15.scheme which does not protect their position, they will lose revenue,
:03:16. > :03:19.but it will provide a better deal for the public. I still get the same
:03:20. > :03:23.level of savings but there hs no U`turn. In the weekend's football
:03:24. > :03:26.action not for the first tile in recent weeks Crawley Town's game was
:03:27. > :03:29.called off due to the weathdr, Elsewhere Charlton lost agahn but
:03:30. > :03:31.there were wins for both Gillingham and Brighton, as Neil Bell reports.
:03:32. > :03:35.Brighton knew the victory against Doncaster was vital to get their
:03:36. > :03:40.promotion hopes back on track. Once again they thought they had gone
:03:41. > :03:48.ahead only for the offside flag to intervene. The deadline was broken
:03:49. > :03:52.when this first goal in sevdn games. Charlton's miserable run continued
:03:53. > :03:57.at home to Birmingham. Midw`y through the first half this header
:03:58. > :04:02.made it home. They are readx number of chances to get back into the game
:04:03. > :04:09.but the keeper denied them. In the second half there was this calm
:04:10. > :04:19.finish with the addicts left in the relegation zone. I thought we played
:04:20. > :04:25.well at times and in spells but in those spells you have to score
:04:26. > :04:31.goals. And Joe Piggott on loan scored this first goal for his new
:04:32. > :04:36.team. And Cordy McDonald was on hand for his seventh goal in eight games.
:04:37. > :04:41.The was a slight wobble in stoppage time when the defender put the ball
:04:42. > :04:52.into his own net but his te`m held firm. Now the weather. It is going
:04:53. > :04:58.to be a much wetter and cold week ahead. The wind will finallx ease
:04:59. > :05:03.with temperatures down to four Celsius. The showers not so heavy as
:05:04. > :05:07.they have been lately but not a dry night by any stretch the
:05:08. > :05:13.imagination. Temperatures down a couple of degrees further whth close
:05:14. > :05:18.of three or four. For the commute we have showing the outbreaks of rain
:05:19. > :05:23.forming into ribbons. These will be heavy at times. Any brightndss is
:05:24. > :05:27.likely to be later in the d`y with temperatures reaching seven or eight
:05:28. > :05:31.Celsius. Much less windy tolorrow but The Met office have a ydllow
:05:32. > :05:36.warning in place from midnight tomorrow night until midnight on
:05:37. > :05:41.Tuesday. A lot more wet and windy weather is expected that dax.
:05:42. > :05:44.Wednesday will be largely dry with just a few showers around dtring the
:05:45. > :05:49.day and another yellow warnhng in place from three o'clock Wednesday

:05:54. > :05:57.windy weather coming up as well Although they will be some glimpses
:05:58. > :06:01.of sunshine they will be pldnty more wet weather to come. That's all from
:06:02. > :06:17.us for now, goodbye. Good evening. We have a significant
:06:18. > :06:19.number of severe warnings out. Most of them have been issued on the
:06:20. > :06:24.River Thames today. Now, of course, with more rain due this week, that
