:10:00. > :10:03.the South's commuters onto two wheels has been launched
:10:04. > :10:05.and there's a plus. The Bike Smart project in Reading
:10:06. > :10:07.is offering special perks to commuters who rack up miles
:10:08. > :10:09.using pedal power. When our towns and cities are trying
:10:10. > :10:16.to get people out of their cars, we usually hear about the problems
:10:17. > :10:21.of pollution and congestion. In Reading a new scheme is all
:10:22. > :10:29.about the carrot, not the stick. We want people to track
:10:30. > :10:35.their cycling and earn rewards so through this Bike Smart app,
:10:36. > :10:38.you log on, track your cycle and you will get points at the end
:10:39. > :10:41.of the programme to award yourself or you can donate those
:10:42. > :10:44.points to charity. At the moment nearly half
:10:45. > :10:52.of people coming to Reading use public transport,
:10:53. > :10:56.one fifth use their car but only 2% cycle and the town wants to double
:10:57. > :10:59.that in the next year. The app works by monitoring your
:11:00. > :11:03.location and how fast you move between points so can tell
:11:04. > :11:06.if you're cycling or walking You get ten points for every mile
:11:07. > :11:11.you cover and that can be used to spend on things like cups
:11:12. > :11:14.of coffee, high street shopping vouchers and even a prize draw
:11:15. > :11:20.where you could win a bicycle. But is that enough to tempt people
:11:21. > :11:23.back into the cycling? It will be interesting
:11:24. > :11:28.because I would be racking up the points because I live
:11:29. > :11:30.30 miles away. Arthritic knees might
:11:31. > :11:39.not help but yes. Bike Smart also wants
:11:40. > :11:41.to help would-be cyclists with things like the safest,
:11:42. > :11:46.quietest commuting routes. Many people haven't had their bike
:11:47. > :11:49.out for many years. Then they need to repair it before
:11:50. > :11:53.they can get it back on the road so we're offering free bike
:11:54. > :11:55.maintenance, bike maintenance The funding for Bike Smart comes
:11:56. > :12:04.from the EU, not the council so Reading wants to make sure
:12:05. > :12:12.commuters sign up now before Brexit. A 68-year-old man questioned

:12:42. > :12:52.the lack of specialist care for families with muscular dystrophy
:12:53. > :12:59.in the south. The South East has 5,000 people
:13:00. > :13:02.living with the condition. Most regions have three
:13:03. > :13:04.or four care advisors I am pressing the button
:13:05. > :13:13.to change the TV channel. Dan is a big sports fan
:13:14. > :13:16.and loves his television. He has all the latest technology

:13:29. > :13:33.with diagnosis, they can support a family through the terrible grief
:13:34. > :13:36.and as time goes on they can signpost them to

:13:41. > :13:43.to show how it works Care advisers funded by local NHS
:13:44. > :13:55.health commissioners. In other regions they find the money

:22:56. > :23:04.worst thing on Sunday morning. Sandy Hook stride and we will see a lot of
:23:05. > :23:10.cloud to start. -- Sunday looks dry. Feeling pleasantly warm in the
:23:11. > :23:16.sunshine, light winds and sunny skies. Things are set to change.
:23:17. > :23:23.After a few weekend with decent wants, we will see a bit of a change
:23:24. > :23:27.on Monday. -- decent wants. We start Monday with cloud and rain band
:23:28. > :23:34.arrives. Cold conditions overnight into Tuesday. Some breakers on
:23:35. > :23:37.Tuesday but one or two when to apply these and cold winds as well. Thank
:23:38. > :23:40.you very much. When a person retires
:23:41. > :23:42.from work after a long You'd think they'd like to
:23:43. > :23:45.have a bit of a change. But when Roger Brown left his role
:23:46. > :23:49.as a county planning officer. He couldn't resist directing his
:23:50. > :23:52.energies at something which had more Roger spent the next nine years
:23:53. > :23:57.of his life building a 15-feet scale model of Winchester,
:23:58. > :23:59.based on an Ordnance Survey But the extraordinary work has
:24:00. > :24:21.never been exhibited Miniature Winchester, the city as it
:24:22. > :24:27.was in Victorian times. This intricate model, the work of a man
:24:28. > :24:32.with a passion for buildings and a great deal of patience. It was only
:24:33. > :24:37.that of love that lasted nine years. I don't know what his wife had to
:24:38. > :24:43.say about that. We do know that she complained for nine years they could
:24:44. > :24:47.not park the car in the garage. It was never intended to be just a
:24:48. > :24:54.private project. It was always meant to be for other people to enjoy. It
:24:55. > :24:58.has only ever been on short tempered Adelaide, a permanent home could not
:24:59. > :25:02.be found but no, 20 years after it was completed, the model forms the
:25:03. > :25:10.centrepiece of a revamped city Museum. Roger has to be just over
:25:11. > :25:16.two years ago, but I know she would have been thrilled to bits to see
:25:17. > :25:22.adhere. Roger bases model on an ordnance survey map which showed
:25:23. > :25:27.huge detail of the city layout. The model captures Winchester Ju --
:25:28. > :25:32.during her Victorian expansion. This was not year when the survey took
:25:33. > :25:39.place in 1870 but when it was printed three years later, it's
:25:40. > :25:44.foundation stones had been lead. The statue of Alfred also did not appear
:25:45. > :25:49.for another three decades. Before that, Cannon, a trophy for the
:25:50. > :25:57.Crimean War students please. Even that has made it this model.
:25:58. > :26:01.Although a lot has changed, much of Winchester's past is still present
:26:02. > :26:04.in this model helps keep its history alive.
:26:05. > :26:16.It is amusing because when you look at it, we are so high-tech with
:26:17. > :26:21.drones, you think I am looking at this with the drawing. Fabulous.
:26:22. > :26:24.That's it from us, have a good weekend, good luck to all the
:26:25. > :26:29.marathon runners and Brighton and Hove Albion. Good night.
