People in Hinckley are being assured the town's 80-million pound Crescent Project will be completed by the start of November. Work on the development - which includes a new cinema multiplex and supermarket - got under way last June. It followed years of doubt that the project would even begin- with a number of delays and a series of problems with money and designs. Now though, with just three months until completion, it's hoped the regeneration project will give the town's economy a massive boost. Farming leaders will meet with bosses at Morrisons supermarket later, as the milk pricing row continues. It follows protests by dairy farmers who say their livelihoods are under threat. They've been demonstrating at supermarkets and emptying shelves of milk. This week we're hearing your memories of VJ Day back in August 1945, when the Second World War finally ended.
