Millionaire's estate water use 'flouted' drought rules

Charlotte Townshend is estimated to be worth £489m

One of the UK's wealthiest women has had to pay £28,000 after abstracting too much water from a chalk stream during a drought.

Ilchester Estate took more than the equivalent of three Olympic-size swimming pools' worth of water than it should have from the Dorset Frome chalk stream, the Environment Agency (EA) said.

The estate is owned by Charlotte Townshend - who is estimated to be worth £489m by the Sunday Times 2024 Rich List.

In a statement the estate said it "very much regrets the historic breach of its water extraction licence" and had increased investment in its water infrastructure.

Taped bananas 'worth £24.8m' appear in village

The bananas have appeared in several places including this roundabout

Bananas have appeared taped to various locations in a village, in an imitation of an artwork that sold for $6.2m (£4.9m) at a New York auction.

Artist Impro, who frequently uses Sonning in Berkshire as a location for his work, claimed responsibility.

He said the sale of his "masterpiece" bananas would enable Sonning's residents to get a "new church roof".

The original work, titled 'Comedian' by Italian visual artist Maurizio Cattelan, was bought by Chinese cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun in November.

Boy saves thousands of sweet tubs from landfill

Teddy's mum Laura said people had been "so supportive and kind"

"I'm one little boy and it started with one tub and one dream to save the planet," says six-year-old Teddy.

He has collected more than 2,500 plastic confectionery tubs because he does not want them to end up in landfill.

Teddy, from Netley in Hampshire, was "angry" when he found out that the tubs, often piled high in supermarkets, could not be recycled by the kerbside.

'Where is this ringing in my ears coming from?'

Oliver Moazzezi says "awareness is key" to anyone suffering and trying to manage their tinnitus

Oliver Moazzezi was working from home when he first heard a loud ringing in his ears.

"I had an anxiety attack. I went from near perfect hearing to having hearing loss and tinnitus. I was hugely depressed," he said.

He describes his experience as a "journey down a long road to self-discovery" after struggling to find the right support and treatment from health professionals.

A new report by Tinnitus UK estimates eight million people in the UK will be affected by tinnitus by the end of 2025.
