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

Simon Marks, who lives in Malzeard Road, thought it was a sinkhole at first but on closer inspection he now believes it's an air raid shelter.

"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...

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.

Local performers have been paying tribute to the creator of some of our best-loved TV comedy series, Jimmy Perry, who has died at the age of 93.

Speaking to BBC Breakfast, Hi-de-Hi! actress Ruth Madoc, who lived in the St Albans area and who met Perry at the Watford Palace, said: "He was my great, great friend... he will be sorely missed.

"He understood comedy, and the comedy that he produced and wrote will stand the test of time. Lots of generations to come will love it still." 

Brigid Larmour, the artistic director of the Watford Palace theatre, where Perry led a weekly rep from 1956 to 1964, tweeted that it was "sad to say goodbye to a comedy genius" who "gave so much" to the Palace.

Bucks County Council leader Martin Tett is due at the House of Lords this afternoon to challenge an "insultingly low" offer of money to communities "blighted" by HS2, the council has said.

Image source, PA

A couple of weeks ago the government announced it had allocated £15m for its Community and Environment Fund (CEF) - to be split between Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire.

The fund is intended to enhance community facilities, improve access to the countryside and protect the environment along the train line's route.

Mr Tett has already said that as things stand, this money would "virtually have no impact" as Buckinghamshire alone already has a list of community projects which total more than £20m.

He said: "The announcement is terribly disappointing and implies that the government just hasn't grasped the sheer scale of the disruption HS2 will cause to people's lives and businesses in Buckinghamshire."

The big question now is who's going to manage the team next. The short answer is "I don't know".

The front runner is former Leeds United manager Steve Evans. I have to say I'm scratching my head with that one, but then again I'm never surprised about what happens in football.

Other names include the number two at the moment, Richie Barker (pictured), who's in temporary charge, then there's Ian Holloway, Steve Cotterill and Nigel Adkins, all of whom have had experience with lower league football. Bury's David Flitcroft is another young manger who could come in and do a job.

However, it's not necessarily about which manager the football club wants, it's about which manager is prepared to work for a football club that has, let's say, limited resources for the size of stadium and the size of the town that it lives in, and a recruitment department that's maybe not 100% the best in this country.
