Two homes have been demolished following a fatal gas leak.

A cooker spark ignited the blast in Birstall, Leicestershire, in December last year, killing one woman and injuring two others.

A number of families remain out of their homes, with many neighbouring properties boarded up.

Retired medical secretary Lesley Ward, 71, who lives opposite, said: "It is absolutely devastating to look out of your window every day and just see all the scaffolding and all your neighbours have gone.

"It really is heartbreaking".

Investigators found "a catastrophic failure of an internal gas pipe joint" was the source of the leak.

The fire service also confirmed there would not be a criminal investigation.

A handful of protesters were outside Nottingham railway station this morning - as commuters face the biggest rise in rail fares in five years.

It means certain off peak tickets from Nottingham to London have topped £100 for the first time, while a Nottingham to Derby season ticket is up by nearly £50 to almost £1,500.

Jim Creamer, the local branch secretary of the RMT union - who was at Nottingham station this morning - said: "Most of these commuters here have gone without a pay rise for four years or longer and it does mean they're having to pay increased fares but the service isn't increasing."

"So they're paying more and they're getting less, particularly in the East Midlands, particularly in Nottingham."

The government says it's spending record amounts to improve the network.

HGV driver Adam Day, from Hull, said he was "shaking" when he found the gold ring in a field near Beverley Minister in East Yorkshire.

The 30-year-old, who's been detectoring for three years, said: “I have had some interesting finds before including a Bronze Age flat axe and Celtic brooch but this is the best one yet.”

He said the ring probably dates from between 1450 and 1550.

The 20-carat gold ring, which is engraved with an image of St George, the patron saint of England, will be sold at Hansons Auctioneers in Etwall on 24 January.

“It is a superb example of the craftsmanship of the time. Only high-ranking figures such as bishops or nobility would have been able to afford a ring of such high quality featuring fine decorative engraving and faceting," said Adam Staples, from Hansons.

“It may well have belonged to a bishop from Beverley Minster and would have been commissioned.”
