The Telegraph claims, external it has obtained a forged bank letter submitted when Gino Pozzo became the Hornets' owner before the 2014-15 campaign.

The newspaper says the "fabricated" document shows that the holding company which owns Watford - Hornets Investment Ltd - had enough money to be issued a bank guarantee of up to £7m and therefore allow Italian Pozzo to take control of the club.  

The Telegraph says there is no indication that Pozzo himself knew that the letter had been obtained or submitted on his behalf.  

Watford told the paper they are carrying out an internal investigation.

Let's have a look at what's in some of our local papers this morning...

It's the second day of the clearance of the so-called "Jungle" migrant camp today in Calais, where police will start dismantling and demolishing the area. 

Yesterday about 2,000 migrants were taken by coach from the camp to immigration centres around France.

Speaking to Andy Collins on BBC Three Counties Radio, Bedfordshire volunteer Ben Scott said he was "not opposed to the demolition" of the camp.

Mr Scott has visited the Jungle on several occasions and described the "gruesome" environment of people living in "mud-swamped tents" and being "battered by the wind and rain".

The volunteer said the authorities needed to provide a "suitable alternative" to the Calais camp to make sure people were not left worse off.

Meanwhile, UK Home Secretary Amber Rudd said Britain will accept "several hundred more" unaccompanied children in the next few weeks.

A Luton man had a shock this weekend when he was parking his car on his driveway and his wheel fell down a hole.

"I thought it might be a sink hole or a badly constructed garden," he said.

"I was just terrified the whole house was going to vanish.

"I lowered a camera down on a selfie stick and we could see all the structure inside, so we set about digging out all the mud. 

"It was so well structured with the concrete roof and the walls, it was quite clear what it was going to be. We googled other air raid shelters and they were all of a similar structure so it clicked quite quickly what it was."

Within a couple of hours of receiving the girls, placements were found with foster carers across the county. 

The girls arrived in the UK under rules which allow vulnerable children refuge in Britain.

Richard Roberts, cabinet member for children’s services, said: "I’d like to express my sincere thanks to our foster carers and staff, who were on standby all night.

"They showed real compassion, kindness and commitment in what were very trying circumstances."

With French authorities clearing the camp from today, Hertfordshire, along with other local authorities, was asked by the government to make available a small number of foster placements to receive children.

A river barge will be used to carry out further inspections on the damaged Marlow Bridge in Buckinghamshire this week.

The suspension bridge, which has a three-tonne limit, has been out of action since 24 September when a 37-tonne lorry tried to cross it.

Last week it became clear that seven areas of concern, identified by ultrasound and magnetic particle tests, would need more focused testing to establish whether suspension hangers needed replacing.

Engineers are having to expose the bridge's steel to see what needs replacing. They are building an access platform above the road deck, but a barge has been ordered to allow more intense testing of the highlighted areas on the underside of the bridge.

The driver of the lorry, owned by Lithuanian haulage company Girteka, has since been fired.

There are four nameless squirrel monkeys in Bedfordshire that need your help! 

Woburn Safari Park is asking the public for help in naming them, external. 

You've got to be a bit creative though - it needs to be a unisex name because they don't know if the babies are boys or girls yet.

BBC Three Counties presenter Andy Collins has gone for "Monkey McMonkeyface" but we're not so sure on that one...

A police officer whose stabbed dog has prompted more than 117,000 people to call for equal rights for support animals has started a blog, external about the "bundle of fluff that could save his life".

German shepherd Finn was stabbed in the head and chest in Stevenage on 5 October. His handler PC Dave Wardell was also injured.

PC Wardell said the blog - called Finn's Story, external - begins when the puppy is seven-weeks-old and is a "release, because Finn's story isn't unique".

An online petition is calling for a so-called Finn's Law, which would give police dogs and horses special status as officers and "given protection that reflects their status if assaulted in the line of duty". It is now to be considered for debate in Parliament, after receiving more than 100,000 signatures.
