    The council's vehicles are currently orange, but the authority says it costs them a lot of money to have them painted that colour and it makes them less valuable when they're sold on.

    Councillor Dean Collins says they will save a large amount of money by going for a cheaper white colour which could "help protect frontline services".

    Buying white vans - instead of the current orange - will save Derbyshire County Council more than £450,000 over eight years.
