The old Co-op store in Nuneaton is being bought by the borough council for more than £2m.

The site, on Abbey Street, has been empty since 2016 when the firm pulled out of the town.

Julie Jackson, the leader of Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council, said the building, which first opened in 1929, could revitalise the town centre.

It has not yet been revealed what the building will become.

Corporate sponsorship deals struck by Merseyside Police's mounted section may be "the thin end of the wedge", the Police Federation has warned.

The force has raised more than £50,000 through sponsorship arrangements, including with Everton Football Club, and said it was a "sign of the times".

Four of the 17 police forces in England with mounted units have disbanded them for financial reasons since 2012.

Merseyside Police introduced the current sponsorship scheme in April last year following a series of budget cuts that threatened the future of its 133-year-old mounted section.

Corporate sponsors are offered a number of packages, which include the ability to name a police horse, to have a company's logo printed on a horse's saddle and to have a meal with the chief constable at the Grand National, held at Merseyside course Aintree in April.

"It just doesn't sit right with me," said Police Federation operational policing spokesman Simon Kempton, adding that sponsorship could lead to real or perceived conflicts of interest.

It was recognised on Stonewall's list for its support networks and the work it does with LGBT people in the community.

"There are a lot of factors, particularly among older LGBT people that in theory put them at more risk of fire," says Mark Shone, who works in community safety.

"They're more likely to live alone, perhaps have mental health issues, more likely to be affected by substance misuse and they're all factors that make you at risk of fire.

"We've done a lot of work to trying to map where those people are and engage them in community safety."

A former soldier is suing the Ministry of Defence after contracting Q fever in Afghanistan.

Wayne Bass from Redditch claims his life has been ruined by the Army's failure to provide antibiotics which would have protected him from the disease.

The disease, linked to exposure to animal excrement, leaves Mr Bass "breathless" with "aches and pains all over my body for which I have to take very powerful painkillers".

His case is the first to test the MoD's duty to protect against Q fever, an infectious disease linked to exposure to animal excrement.

The MoD says it is not appropriate to comment on ongoing legal cases.
