Organisers of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games are set to announce they have abandoned plans for an athletes' village.

Instead, student accommodation at the universities of Birmingham and Warwick will be used to house athletes, along with the National Exhibition Centre.

The purpose-built village was set to cost £500m.

The decision to move away from a new single-site in the Perry Barr area has been blamed on the Covid-19 crisis.

The Prime Minister's been in Herefordshire today.

While he used a visit to Hereford County Hospital to announce £300m to prepare the NHS for a second wave of Coronavirus this winter, Boris Johnson's also been asked about some controversial local issues.

Asked whether Hereford needed a bypass, a project which is currently being reviewed by Herefordshire Council, the Prime Minister said it was the authority's "democratic right", adding "all I will say is that I am a believer in getting good infrastructure done".

On temporary road changes in the rural county, which take space from cars to give to pedestrians and cyclists, Mr Johnson said: "When I was Mayor of London I used to cycle 30 miles a day easily. I think cycling is a fantastic thing to do.

"Often cycling in rural areas with quite fast A and B roads can be scarier... so we need to think... how we get motorists to understand that there will be cyclists on the road and that they're not all lycra louts."

Revised plans have been put forward to build homes on the former London Taxi site in Coventry.

A previous plan for 107 homes was withdrawn in March because of concerns over the lack of open space and affordable housing.

The new bid still doesn't include any affordable homes.

The London Taxi firm moved most of its operations to its Ansty Park site in 2017 and the land was later set aside for 110 homes in the council’s Local Plan.

Firefighters are putting out "hotspots" following the fire which sent smoke across the city.

Gloucestershire's Ryan Higgins has taken six Warwickshire wickets to reduce them to 131-9 while needing another 108 runs for victory.

The Wolves midfielder Reuben Neves says the Europa League is a "completely different" competition from the one Sevilla won three times in recent years.

Because of coronavirus restrictions, the two sides meet in a one-leg quarter final in Germany tonight.

Neves says "it will be really hard for every team" and that each game will be treated as a cup final.

While at the hospital, Boris Johnson praised the "fantastic progress" being made on a new 72-bed geriatrics unit at the hospital, which replaces wards from the 1940s.

The new unit, at Wye Valley NHS Trust, was one of 20 hospital upgrades given the go-ahead last July.

Asked whether it had taken a pandemic to unlock extra funding for A&Es, the Prime Minister said the money was "part of a big programme of getting ready for a second wave... if we get one this autumn or this winter".

Shoppers in a town in Staffordshire are being encouraged to help others by buying a voucher and passing it on to the next customer to use.

The Pay-it-Forward scheme has been set up in Leek by a community group on Facebook and customers buy a blank ticket and fill in the amount they'd like the next person to get.

The goodwill idea has been picked up by 11 independent shops in the town with organisers saying anyone needing a financial "pick-me-up" can take a voucher.

Images from the ambulance service show flame and smoke pouring from the site in Birmingham.
