The county came out top after 138 local authorities and 33 factors important to family life, including GCSE grades, pay, weather and access to GPS, were analysed.

Cambridgeshire and Central Bedfordshire took second and third places respectively, making the top three all in the east of England.

Scotland fared the least well, with East and North Ayrshire suffering the poorest ranking owing to higher crime, lower exam results, lower pay and less time spent with loved ones.

The top 10 areas in the uSwitch Better Family Life Index 2016 are: 1. Hertfordshire 2. Cambridgeshire 3. Central Bedfordshire 4. Warrington 5. York 6. Tyneside 7. Norfolk 8. Northumberland 9. West Cumbria 10. Calderdale and Kirklees.

A 73-year-old man has been cleared of molesting two young girls at a children's home in the 1970s.

Michael Coughtrey was accused of abusing the youngsters on occasions when he went to pick up his wife, who had worked at the Woolmer Drive home in Hemel Hempstead.

His Old Bailey trial heard that one of the girls had complained to staff at the time but did not feel that she would be "supported or believed".

Police launched an investigation in 2014 after a second alleged victim came forward.

After Mr Coughtrey was arrested in March last year, he told police that his wife had worked at the home and he would often visit to collect her.

The jury found Mr Coughtrey, of Spalding, Lincolnshire, not guilty of six counts of indecent assault.

Luke West, 23, of Abbots Wood Road, and Kyle Pitchford-Price, 23, of Dovehouse Hill in Luton, were convicted of murdering Atul Shah last week and will be sentenced later.

Today, Pauline Smith, Mr Shah's former partner, issued a statement on behalf of his family. 

"He (Atul) was a proud and loving father to all three of his children, who all miss him terribly. They cannot get their heads around why someone would torture and murder their dad in this brutal way.

"He was a very special friend who I shared some special memories with and I will miss him always.

"Atul’s murder has devastated us all. Justice has been served but no amount of time that these murderers get will ease our pain."

Police released a picture of the murder scene and of the guilty men, Pitchford-Price (top) and West (bottom).

A company in Luton says a new electric charger will help revolutionise electric-powered travel.

Chargemaster, based at Capability Green, is the UK's largest manufacturer of chargers for electric cars and has just launched the Ultracharger. 

It says it's the first 50kw rapid charger to be manufactured in the UK which can charge a car in under 30 minutes.

Chief executive David Martell says they are also smaller than the usual chargers, which "enables one to deploy the units without planning permission on the public highway".
