Last year police caught 10,103 people, which is more than any other force outside of London - the figures have hardly dropped over the past five years. 

Ch Insp Henry Parsons, for the roads policing team at TVP, says as they have a large roads policing team it's a crime they can "focus" on.

The leader of Central Bedfordshire Council has defended plans for a development in Houghton Regis, fronted by footballers Rio Ferdinand, Mark Noble and Bobby Zamora.

James Jamieson says reports of 1,300 houses are incorrect and there will be "somewhere between 0 and 1,000" properties.

He was speaking after residents reacted with concern to a report in the Guardian, external.

He said: "This is a real opportunity to do something really interesting and exciting for Houghton Regis.

"We have 22 hectares there, we have some committed footballers, they are committed to doing something that will improve the community of Houghton Regis and that's what this is all about."

Three men from England are fined after a pub brawl which broke out in a south of Scotland pub after allegations of cheating in a game of pool.

Residents in Houghton Regis have raised concerns over a proposed new development fronted by famous footballers.

Pat Hamill, who has lived in Houghton Regis for 44 years, said: "Everyone's squashed into Luton, you can't move about in Luton, the traffic is so heavy... and I don't want Houghton Regis to become something similar to Luton."

Other residents have told the BBC the area couldn't take more houses because they "hadn't got the facilities for them" and the scheme wasn't in the best interests of the area.

We'll be hearing from the council later but it has told us that it is in the very early stages of drawing up proposals with developers and images that have appeared in national newspapers, external are not of plans for the site.

We've asked the developers for a comment.

Her parents have been told her only hope is a heart transplant, a complex and risky procedure with no guarantees.
