A driver has suffered a serious head injury after his car overturned in Wolverhampton earlier.

Emergency services were called to the junction of Codsall Road and Windermere Road just after 10:30, police said.

No other vehicle is believed to be involved.

A Warwickshire businessman says a government scheme to create work placements for unemployed young people is unlikely to benefit his firm until later in the year.

Under the Kickstart scheme employers will be paid £1,500 for every 16-24 year old they train, the aim being to help those people build the skills they need to find a job.

But John Nollett, chief executive or Pressmark Pressings, an engineering firm in Atherstone, Warwickshire, said more clarity on the scheme would have enabled him to plan more.

"Getting information has been really difficult and understanding how we go about this has been tough," he said.

"We now have found we have to use an intermediary because we want to take on a few people - we don't want 30 - so there's a lot more to go yet before we start employing these people."
