The Hertfordshire home of a world famous sculptor reopens this week after a £7m refurbishment.

The Henry Moore Foundation in Perry Green is launching a new exhibition to mark both the opening of the newly-developed Studio and Gardens and the 40th anniversary of the foundation, created to support artists. 

The Becoming Henry Moore exhibition focuses on works from his formative years, from 1914 to 1930. It also includes exhibits from artists who influenced the budding sculptor. 

The sculptor moved to Hertfordshire in 1940 and lived there until his death in 1986.

His giant sculptures are dotted in the grounds of the foundation and can be seen in public spaces all over the country - one of his statues can be found at the Barclay school in Stevenage.

Kantar Retail analyst Ray Gaul said Tesco could "successfully put the accounting scandals of the past behind them having settled legal affairs".

"Now Tesco will begin to fight all of its battles on the front foot," he said.

Upcoming "battles" include anti-trust reviews over the attempt to buy wholesaler Booker. 

Suppliers raising prices to cope with increased costs will be another test, he said. The pound has substantially weakened since the UK's vote to leave the European Union in June, pushing up the cost of imports.

The rate of grocery price inflation is expected to rise to 2.3%, with higher rises on the horizon, he added.

The number of road crashes dealt with by police in Hampshire and the Thames Valley has risen by nearly 10% over three years, despite recent job cuts. 

Figures obtained by the BBC show policing units attended an extra 4,500 incidents in 2015-16 than in 2013-14. 

Thames Valley and Hampshire road policing units merged in 2012 - seeing up to 100 officer posts axed. Altering shift patterns ensured more resources were available, the force said. 

Supt Simon Dodds, head of the joint roads policing unit for Thames Valley Police and Hampshire Police, said by changing shifts they were able to make sure more officers were available at "peak times of demand".

Figures also show that emergency incidents attended by the unit rose by nearly 5,000 over the three-year period. 

The two forces, which cover Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, share recourses including dogs and training.
