SCRIPT;
Story One:
Winchester LibDem MP's reject the new NHS reform bill, believing the changes will have no immediate effect or no effect at all because of recent budget cuts.
A ConservativeHome reporter suggests that going through with the bill is the 'most dangerous path' for Cameron, possibly dividing the coalition and pushing away party's supporters.
The Prime Ministers efforts to change parts of the bill have settled some disagreements in parliament, but are causing conflict elsewhere.
Online petitions have been started and MP’s urging those against the reforms to sign it through on twitter.
The bill is currently awaiting scrutiny of the House of Lords and will determine Cameron’s decision.
Story Two:
Winchester councillors are pushed to decide whether to refurbish or relocate the River Park leisure centre.
Because of the dramatic rise in maintenance costs over the last few years, Councillors have agreed the problem needs to be solved.
But Chris Pines believes a rebuild will threaten the space and funding the development of affordable housing, with a possibility of costs reaching twenty million pounds.
The site currently being assessed in Bar End holds the potential of an Olympic sized pool, which is highly favoured by swimming group directors.
But Pines suggest that this site could hold over 100 new homes;

Story Three:
Winchesters commuters were introduced to a new way of using Blue Star bus service;
The key card allows customers to buy pre-paid travel passes, which allow unlimited travel for 7, 30 or 90 day periods.
The company have introduced the key with reduced prices as an incentive to try the new service and it is hoped, by the Go Ahead Group, that the key will reduce waiting time at stops and help lower their carbon footprint.
While also saving the customer money when compared to prices of regular tickets.
We asked a Blue Star driver his views on the success of the Key;
