Plans to build homes on the site of a disused lorry storage yard in Walsall have been rejected because of a protected tree.

The plot, between Springfields and Daw End Lane, was used by a haulage company which ceased trading three years ago, and there were no objections to the plans from neighbours.

But Walsall Council decided against the scheme on the grounds the tree had "demonstrable amenity value".

Crewe's EFL Trophy game against Shrewsbury tonight will be a chance for both managers to try out some fringe players.

Radioactive material has leaked on a ward at Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital, health bosses say.

It came from a toilet pipe on a cancer ward and leaked into a seminar room on the floor below.

The hospital said tests confirmed very low levels of radioactivity "that would cause no significant or long-term effects to a person, even if their shoe came into contact with it".

The hospital added no patients or services were affected by the leak which happened at about 11:30 GMT on Monday, but it said it had informed the Environment Agency.

The affected area has been decontaminated and the source identified as radioactive iodine - used to treat people with an overactive thyroid or thyroid cancer - which was administered to a patient and later excreted.

A couple of Coventry Blaze players will be involved in a three-team series, due to be screened online.

More women and people from ethnic backgrounds will get the chance to interview for jobs at Birmingham City Council.

It comes after a recruitment review found staff of black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds were paid less, and were less likely to get a job compared to white applicants.

The councillor responsible for social inclusion and equality, John Cotton, said: "If you look at the profile of the workforce, it doesn't reflect the diversity of the city."

Mr Cotton added the authority would now guarantee that all future job shortlists included at least one woman and one person from a black, Asian or minority ethnic background.

He also said backgrounds and gender of interviewers would be balanced across panels.

A firework attack on a Burton-upon-Trent takeaway is being treated as a hate crime.

Staffordshire Police said a gang of masked youths repeatedly threw fireworks at the business on Uxbridge Street on Saturday evening.

Nobody was hurt, but the force said it was aware of a video being circulated on social media and it would take action against those involved.
