Co-owner Debi Morisot said The Malt Shovel Inn had lost business since maintenance work started at junctions 11 and 12.

The roadworks near Gaydon were due to be finished in April but have been delayed until the summer.

A delivery driver has admitted causing death by careless driving – despite not being in his van when it hit a pensioner.

Matheeb Iqbal’s refrigerated van rolled across a car park in Southam, Warwickshire, and killed 65-year-old Susan Collins.

It’s understood the 23-year-old, from Lime Grove, Birmingham, did not leave the handbrake on properly.

Iqbal pleaded guilty at Warwick Crown Court on Friday and will be sentenced on May 13.

Warwickshire's bowlers toiled in the sun at Lord's for little reward on the first day of their County Championship match against Middlesex. 

The home side closed on 317 for four, with the former England opener Sam Robson 175 not out. 

Chris Wright claimed the wickets of Nick Gubbins and Nick Compton in successive balls. 

A cannabis dealer has been ordered to forfeit £25,000 which he claimed was prize money from an appearance on the Deal Or No Deal game show.

Karl Rose was ordered to hand over the cash under the Proceeds of Crime Act after a court rejected his account that he'd held onto his TV windfall for more than five years. Police say he appeared on the Channel 4 programme back in May 2009 when he walked away with £20,000 from ‘The Banker’.

The 29-year-old, of Bruce Road, Radford, Coventry, was arrested in September 2014 after officers responded to concerns over suspected drug-dealing in a nearby area. 

Almost half a kilo of cannabis was found in a car, owned by an accomplice of Rose, and a subsequent search of his home revealed bagged cannabis with a value of almost £5,000, as well as £25,480 in cash.
