The passports and residence permits of two men applying for a premises licence were published online by Leicester City Council in another data breach.

The two applicants' details appeared on the council's website alongside paperwork ahead of a licensing sub-committee meeting on Friday.

Conservative city councillor Ross Grant criticised the Labour-run authority. He said: "It all just seems very familiar and I can't see how anyone with an understanding of data protection could have made this mistake.

"It seems there is a culture of data protection issues and lack of training."

It is the fourth known data breach at the council this year.

A city council spokesman said: "We will be looking at how this happened, but at this stage it appears to be down to human error."

The applicants, who are both from Afghanistan, were applying for a late night refreshment licence for Pizza Magic on Fosse Road South which was refused.

An investigation into a pushchair getting trapped in tram doors in Nottingham has found staff placed "inappropriate reliance" on door closing technology.

Image source, Rail Accident Investigation Branch

It happened on 15 December last year at the Radford Road tram stop when the plastic rain cover of the empty pram got caught between closing doors.

The pushchair was dragged to the next tram stop at Hyson Green Market, where it was crushed against the kerb. No-one was injured.

The report also found staff were unaware of the importance of the final door check and that training of travel officers was "inadequate".

The Rail Accident Investigation Branch, external found the rain cover was too thin to trigger the system which automatically reopens the doors.

The tram driver also failed to see the pushchair was in an unsafe position when doing the final visual door check and other staff at the tram stop were unable to stop the tram departing.

The driver was unaware the pushchair was attached to the tram until he arrived at the next stop.

Asking about train times, when their car insurance expires and for advise on dealing with rats are just some of the calls Nottinghamshire Police have dealt with in the past few weeks.

The force said people had been calling the 999 emergency number to ask these questions, which had potentially delayed staff from responding to genuine emergencies.

Other calls included someone asking why they had a power cut, asking for the call handler to book them a taxi and wanting to talk to them about some lost property.

The force said people should use the 999 number "responsibly".

They said: "Please think before dialling and only call 999 when life is in danger, someone is seriously injured, someone is using or threatening to use violence, a crime is in progress, there is serious damage being caused to property or whenever else an immediate police response is required."

For other non-emergency policing matters call 101.
