Oswestry's police station is going to re-open to the public on a limited basis and the town is going to get an extra 10 police officers.

The West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner, John Campion, made the announcement at a public meeting there last night, saying they would be included in the 115 extra officers he announced earlier this month.

Mr Campion said the extra officers, who haven't been recruited or trained yet, could be on duty within 12 months.

They are being funded by an increase in the amount of council tax going to the force.

They've only found the net once in the last five games and Jones said: "We need to be better than what we're showing in front of goal because we have the talent, we have the ability."

Care bosses in Walsall have called for local authorities across the country to introduce council tax exemptions for former looked after children.

Care leavers up to the age of 25 who live in Walsall are given a 100% discount on council tax as a way of providing support and helping them establish stable home lives.

But the relief doesn’t currently extend to Walsall care leavers who move out of the borough and the authority is assessing the possibility of extending the scheme to those who live outside the town.

Extending the exemption across all authorities would provide a much-needed boost to care leavers, a meeting was told on Monday.

Some residents in Birmingham say they haven't had recycling collections in the city "for weeks", as a result of a work to rule by bin workers in the city.

Collections have moved to fortnightly, which the council said was to ensure "reliability of service" until the dispute is resolved.

"We have not now had a recycling collection for six weeks so a fortnightly collection would actually be an improvement," said David Evans in Solihull.

Luke Service said his street has been "covered in rubbish" with bins "over-flowing" since before official strike action began.

He said his recycling had not been taken since 18 December, meaning he still has waste from Christmas piling up.

"There's rubbish all over the street as people leave it next to the bins and then it gets blown by the weather," Mr Service, who lives in the Stechford area of Birmingham, said.

"This has even led to us having rats and foxes in our street at various points.

"It's a tough situation, but there needs to be some sort of compromise."
