00:00Here's today's Derbyshire Times video bulletin.

00:03A famous bridge in a Derbyshire town has reopened again after repairs were carried out with

00:08thousands of love locks being removed from the structure.

00:11Bakewell's Weir footbridge was reopened by Derbyshire County Council following repairs

00:15and general refurbishment work.

00:18A spokesperson for the local authority said,

00:20The 25-year-old footbridge spans the river Weye close to Bakewell town centre and was

00:25showing signs of corrosion to the steel structure and wear and tear to the pedestrian walkway.

00:31We still have a bit of work to finish off, but this can be done while the bridge is open.

00:36We have worked with the Save the Love Locks group to carefully remove the padlocks from

00:40the bridge to enable the work to be carried out.

00:42We'd like to thank the group and congratulate them on finding a new home for the locks at

00:47Thornbridge Hall.

00:51A kind-hearted company boss from Chesterfield has vowed to give all his staff a £1000 bonus

00:57after winning the People's Postcode Lottery.

01:00Chris Dell, who is 61, broke down as he made the pledge to his 10 employees after being

01:05presented with a bumper £100,000 cheque.

01:08The self-storage firm owner said,

01:10I'm going to treat the staff at work, especially with that amount, because we're a close

01:14team and it would be nice to put a smile on their faces.

01:17We've got 10 people in the team and £10,000 of it will go to them.

01:21They'll get £1,000 each.

01:23People might say, why would you do that?

01:25It's because we are a team.

01:27Chris celebrated his win-fall with 17 neighbours in Newbold after they bagged the People's

01:31Weekly Postcode Millionaire Street Lottery on Saturday.

01:35Each ticket was worth £50,000, but Chris and one of his neighbours doubled their prizes

01:39by buying two tickets.

01:42You're joking.

01:43I'm not.

01:45I'm going to treat the staff at work, especially with that amount, because we're a close team

01:53at work.

01:54It would be nice to put a smile on their faces.

01:57Have a holiday.

01:58Most probably Benidorm.

01:59My best friend lives in France and he'll be coming too.

02:04Oh my God.

02:11We signed up primarily because Mark's ex-wife won the Lottery.

02:15A couple of years after that, Mark's daughter's mother-in-law won the Lottery with two tickets

02:21and that's when I said, I want two tickets now.

02:24Or we're going to York Outlet Village Shopping to buy some new Doc Martens.

02:30Yeah, you love your Doc Martens, don't you, sweetheart?

02:34And Mark's been after an e-bike, so because he keeps complaining, I'll leave him behind

02:39Oh my God, oh my God, oh that's crazy, that's legitimately crazy.

02:52Probably setting ourselves up for the future, it's not the answer nobody wants sort of thing.

02:56Probably a nice holiday.

02:57Oh wow, that's amazing, thank you so much.

03:04We're going to treat our kids, let them have a good Christmas.

03:08And I think we're saving up for a house, so some will go towards a deposit for a house

03:14and some.

03:15Three, two, one, go!

03:21It's going to be going towards a new patio and a holiday and two teenage girls learning

03:26to drive.

03:27We're having a new wardrobe full of clothes, handbags, shoes, perfume, I'll buy my daughter

03:33exactly the same.

03:34We may have one golf club.
