A decision to allow two banned University of Warwick students involved in rape threats to return after only one year "shines a light on failure to deal with harassment", said The Women's Equality Party.

The two were banned for 10 years for their involvement in a group chat that threatened rape.

“Decisions such as this signal very clearly to both victims and perpetrators that Warwick University does not take sexual violence seriously," said a party spokesperson.

“By reducing the length of the expulsions, Warwick University has created a situation in which victims feel ‘terrified’ to return to their studies. This is a complete failure in its duty of care to its students.”

The university said it had reduced the length of the men's bans to one year after they appealed.

Prof Christine Ennew, a member of the executive team at Warwick University, said in a statement , externalthe university was clear the behaviour was "abhorrent and unacceptable" and it was sorry the decision had "upset so many members of our own community and beyond".

A new tourist map of Coventry has several locations within the city missing from it, according to a city ambassador.

The omissions were highlighted to BBC Coventry and Warwickshire by Brian Pollard whose job it is to help guide visitors when they are in the city.

Landmarks such as the city's Godiva clock, West Orchards shopping centre and the Council House are all missing from the map, along with one of the city's famous three spires, he said.

Visitors are also directed to the city's Canal Basin as a place to shop and eat - which has very few amenities.

Jacqui Ibbotson, Great Place Project Manager of the Coventry City of Culture Trust, said "difficult choices" had to be made about what was included in the map, which was produced in conjunction with the city council and funded by the Arts Council.

"Corrections that have come in to us are being corrected," she said, "and the maps will be re-issued where we've made errors."
