I'm Jo Kent with your news in the South. | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
They're designed to keep out dogs, but instead are preventing | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
wheelchair users from entering a play park. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
Metal grids placed at entrance gates in Gosport have led one father | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
to start a campaign to improve play facilities for children | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
Earlier, I joined Daniel White and his daughter | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
Ten-year-old Emily wants to be more independent, but when she went | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
to meet her friends at this park, she could not get in. | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
When we first came here, I thought that it was going to be | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
all good, and when we came here it was really bad. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
Please make it possible so everyone can come in. | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
She had to go back and get her parents to help. | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
She is old enough to come out on her own without us, | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
tied to our apron strings, so it would have been | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
When we came in, saw the cattle grid, it was like, oh, | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
The front wheels of her wheelchair get stuck in the grid. | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
The council told the family it is there to stop dogs getting in, | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
but our experiment showed it is not always effective. | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
Gosport Borough Council told us it has taken the family's complaint | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
very seriously and it has looked into what happened. | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
It says it is disappointed because it has worked hard in recent | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
years to try to improve things for people with disabilities. | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
It says it is inviting the family to become part of future | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
decision-making by joining the local disability access group. | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
If we all work together, things will get done, | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
I think that is very gracious of them, to try and initiate | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
One of the main things they would like to do is make sure | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
play areas in general are more accessible to children | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
with disabilities, as once in this park, there is not one piece | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
I think all parks in general should be made to be completely inclusive | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
and accessible for children of all abilities, because all | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
They all like to get outside, regardless | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
As for the access issue, Emily and her family say a simple | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
gate could fix the problem, allowing Emily to join her | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
friends while keeping four-legged friends out. | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
A man and a woman have been charged with conspiracy to murder | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
It follows a serious assault in Ryde last November that left | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
26-year-old Louise Spence and 49-year-old Anthony Booty | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
More than a hundred soldiers from Wiltshire have arrived | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
The 5th Battalion The Rifles, based at Bulford Camp on Salisbury Plain, | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
are the first of 800 UK troops that will eventually be deployed. | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
They'll offer defence for eastern European members in case of any | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
2,000 cyclists pedalled into Reading today. | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
They'd cycled 40 miles from London, finishing by the River Thames | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
The ride is organised by the British Heart Foundation | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
and helps raise tens of thousands of pounds each year to fight | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
Somebody said they would give me 20 quid if I would wear this. | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
It was a bit windy, but it was all right. | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
Probably the best bit is just getting started with friends | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
The worst bit was the big hill in Henley. | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
Well done to them. Rather than than me. -- rather them. | :03:29. | :03:44. | |
Both Bournemouth and Brighton are currently playing | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
In League One, Swindon conceded twice in the final five minutes | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
MK Dons eased their own relegation concerns with victory over Coventry, | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
and an injury-time winner saw Oxford claim the points against Scunthorpe. | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
In League Two, Portsmouth, who are third, lost 3-0 | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
Now for a look at the weather with Dan Downs. | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
It's been a rather cloudy and breezy weekend for most so far. | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
We hold onto that cloud through the night, some mist | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
and some fog patches around as well, and we keep those | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
The chance of some outbreaks of light rain | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
Temperatures staying mild tonight, not dipping much | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
Tomorrow starts off much the same, rather cloudy, one of two brighter | :04:19. | :04:27. | |
breaks a possibility further east, and we still have a chance | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
Temperatures reaching highs of 12, possibly 13. | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
Not a great deal of change into Monday. | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
Colder but brighter with some showers on Tuesday. | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
Hello, the mild areas going to be with us into next week. Things set | :04:39. | :05:22. | |
to be | :05:23. | :05:24. |
