End of twitter postGas being restored in Clophillpublished at 14:05 Greenwich Mean Time 18 November 2016

BBC Look EastFinally the good news people in Clophill have been waiting three days for.
National Grid, external has started restoring gas supplies to the village after it was cut off on Tuesday when a builder severed a pipe in Ampthill.
The process must be done in stages, and each of the 6,000 properties previously cut off now needs to be revisited so the gas can be turned back on.
Once Clophill has gas again, engineers will then go to Maulden, then finishing off in Ampthill.
National Grid is warning people not to switch on their own gas supplies, but wait for an engineer.
It's hoped everyone will be reconnected over the weekend.

Kate Bradbrook
BBC Look EastI've just had it confirmed from James Harrison, from the National Grid, that there are 35 homes that engineers haven't been able to access to turn the gas off.
So what they have done is gone to court this morning to get warrants to enter those properties with a locksmith to isolate the gas.
When this has been done, workers can then start turning the gas back on to the 6,000 buildings affected, and they will do Clophill first.
He explained it's a complicated and slow process as they have to get the "sequence right" for safety purposes.
gossip Gerrard to end career at Inter Milan?published at 12:58 Greenwich Mean Time 18 November 2016
Latest gossip
Image source, Rex FeaturesInter Milan are interested in signing Steven Gerrard, giving him the chance to end his playing career at the club, according to the Independent, external.
The former England and Liverpool captain has been in contact with MK Dons over their vacant manager's job having announced he will leave MLS side LA Galaxy in December.
Inter appointed Stefano Pioli as their new head coach earlier this month but the Independent say the Italian club's board are interested in Gerrard.
A deal would reportedly be for six months until the end of the 2016-17 season.
However the paper also claims Gerrard's "ultimate ambition" is a return to Liverpool but a role that suits both player and club needs to be found.
Your choice Steven...

Kate Bradbrook
BBC Look EastWhen I spoke to Nadine Dorries, the MP for Mid Bedfordshire, she was rather defensive when I questioned why she hadn't come sooner to talk to her constituents, who've been without gas since Tuesday afternoon.
She told me her job is "an MP and not a gas engineer" and she didn't want to "hold up these guys" to get information. She said as everything is getting ready today to turn the gas back on, she felt it was the right time to come.
She said her job was to "ensure everything was in place - I did that".

End of twitter postSteven Gerrard: Eagerly awaiting newspublished at 11:40 Greenwich Mean Time 18 November 2016
Luke Ashmead
BBC Three Counties Radio sportClearly there is no smoke without fire and the possibility of Steven Gerrard being MK Dons manager is going to be big news.
It is important to get things into perspective though.
Nothing will happen on this front over the weekend and in truth Richie Barker is highly likely to be in charge for the next two games at least.
Steven Gerrard becoming MK Dons manager will make all the headlines, but I think it's important fans don't pin their hopes on the former England captain ending up at Stadium:MK.
I expect something to happen before they play Coventry away on 26 November, but it might take longer than that, especially if Gerrard decides his future lies elsewhere.
