I'm Laura Trant with the news in the south.

:00:13.:00:16.

Campaigners in West Sussex say plans to build 1200 new homes

:00:17.:00:18.

Three sites in Pagham have been earmarked for development to help

:00:19.:00:22.

Standing together to protect the place they call home.

:00:23.:00:32.

Residents of Pagham say plans to set aside this field and others for 1200

:00:33.:00:35.

houses would change the nature of their village forever.

:00:36.:00:46.

In a village of 6000 people, we can't possibly maintain

:00:47.:00:48.

and sustain developments of over 1200 houses.

:00:49.:00:50.

The infrastructure is not there, the roads, drainage.

:00:51.:00:52.

People will say that people do need houses and that change must come.

:00:53.:00:59.

Yes, and we can take some, I think we know we'll have to takes

:01:00.:01:02.

some, but not the amount being thrust on us.

:01:03.:01:05.

Three main sites have been earmarked in Pagham as part

:01:06.:01:08.

of Arun District Council's draft local plan.

:01:09.:01:11.

In their neighbourhood plan villagers recommended

:01:12.:01:12.

Another 2500 homes could be built at nearby Bersted.

:01:13.:01:19.

Arun District Council says that the amount of land it's

:01:20.:01:21.

required to allocate for housing has risen sharply in recent years,

:01:22.:01:24.

It says all sites are tested for environmental and infrastructure

:01:25.:01:30.

constraints and it says there will be a public consultation

:01:31.:01:32.

before the local plan is looked at by a planning inspector.

:01:33.:01:38.

The council says that applications are also being put forward

:01:39.:01:41.

for community facilities including a primary school, but those gathered

:01:42.:01:43.

here are convinced the local area can't take the strain of the scale

:01:44.:01:46.

They are determined to make their voices heard.

:01:47.:01:56.

An investigation is under way into the cause of a large fire that

:01:57.:01:59.

destroyed a hardware store in Oxfordshire.

:02:00.:02:01.

Seven fire engines and 50 firefighters were called

:02:02.:02:02.

to the incident in Watlington at around 7pm last night.

:02:03.:02:07.

Police and ambulance crews also attended.

:02:08.:02:09.

The store and first floor accommodation was destroyed,

:02:10.:02:11.

The RMT union has staged a one-day strike on Southern services,

:02:12.:02:19.

as many people look to get away for the Easter break.

:02:20.:02:24.

It's part of an ongoing dispute over staffing and the role of conductors.

:02:25.:02:27.

A reduced service has been in place on some lines,

:02:28.:02:29.

but Southern says it hopes to run 90% of its timetable.

:02:30.:02:32.

This is the 33rd day of action taken to make sure that people's

:02:33.:02:35.

And nothing's changed over that almost a year's process

:02:36.:02:43.

with the proposals to remove guards from trains, and our guards

:02:44.:02:47.

are still adamant it's not the safest way to operate our trains

:02:48.:02:50.

The brand new Floating Bridge has arrived in Cowes ahead

:02:51.:02:58.

The chain-driven vessel, built in Wales, has been

:02:59.:03:02.

making its way around the country to its new home on the River Medina.

:03:03.:03:09.

Crews will now be trained and systems tested,

:03:10.:03:11.

the vessel has been organised by the council.

:03:12.:03:15.

Onto football and following Brighton's win last night

:03:16.:03:16.

in the Championship, today in the Premier

:03:17.:03:18.

League Southampton also picked up three points.

:03:19.:03:20.

A goal from Jordy Clasie was the difference as Saints beat

:03:21.:03:23.

West Bromwich Albion 1-0 at the Hawthorns, to boost

:03:24.:03:27.

Bournemouth are playing Chelsea in today's late kick off.

:03:28.:03:34.

In the second half, they are currently losing 2-1.

:03:35.:03:38.

In the Championship, Reading had a day to forget,

:03:39.:03:40.

The Royals conceded six in the first half.

:03:41.:03:43.

In League One, Swindon and MK Dons shared the points in a 1-1 draw,

:03:44.:03:46.

while Oxford also drew away at Walsall.

:03:47.:03:48.

In League Two, Portsmouth secured a comfortable 3-1

:03:49.:03:50.

Now, it was a lovely day for a walk along the coast today,

:03:51.:03:55.

but in a dramatic moment last night two dog walkers narrowly avoided

:03:56.:03:58.

being hit by a cliff fall at Yaverland on the Isle of Wight.

:03:59.:04:03.

Just moments after Zoe Cox and friend Amber Wilcox had walked

:04:04.:04:06.

past, a section of the sandy cliff fell away, just missing them.

:04:07.:04:14.

Well, let's find out the rest of our weekend

:04:15.:04:18.

A lovely day today, more sunshine tomorrow and temperatures could rise

:04:19.:04:29.

a bit higher. Tonight it is very quiet in many respects, light winds,

:04:30.:04:34.

clear skies, the risk of mist and fog and also frost a possibility. A

:04:35.:04:39.

bit like last night. With the mist and fog tomorrow it will break

:04:40.:04:43.

tomorrow, a bit more cloud feeding tomorrow, a bit more cloud feeding

:04:44.:04:48.

into western areas later and temperatures in the low 20s. Cooler

:04:49.:04:52.

along the coast as the breeze comes in off the sea. Temperatures take a

:04:53.:04:54.

tumble as we head into next week. Have a lovely weekend.

:04:55.:04:57.

evening at 6:50pm. What a spectacular day to day.

:04:58.:05:22.

Hardly a cloud in the sky. Just clear blue skies around. A nice

:05:23.:05:24.

picture here from Lincolnshire. This evening and overnight will turn

:05:25.:05:35.

quite chilly. There will be a touch of brass frost. This is the

:05:36.:05:39.

satellite image from early on. Not often do we see pictures like this.

:05:40.:05:43.

Just a little bit of cloud in the North West of Scotland and that is

:05:44.:05:48.

pretty much it. This evening, starry, starry skies. The

:05:49.:05:55.

temperatures will dip away. It is cold enough for a bit of grass

:05:56.:05:59.

Frost.
