Ilkeston children's home to closepublished at 17:58 British Summer Time 25 October 2018

Local Democracy ReporterOne of the county council's 11 children's homes has been closed because the authority "doesn't need it".
Evergreen children's home in Ilkeston, the exact location of which we cannot disclose for safeguarding purposes, has been closed by Derbyshire County Council.
The authority says that it will soon be reused, but only for a year, to temporarily house kids from another children's home in Swadlincote - Linden House - which is due to undergo major refurbishment and part-demolition, thought to cost £1.2m.
Last year, the authority overspent on its children's homes by £374,000 - bringing its spending to £4.7 million.
A spokesperson for for the authority said: "Evergreen is closed at the moment and long-term, we don't need it, but there's another home that is being replaced and while we carry out that work we are planning for the children from there to move to Evergreen for about 12 months."

"These incidents have been distressing to those who have found the animals, who have suffered unnecessarily, and I would encourage anyone who has any information, or notices anything suspicious in the area to report it to us.”

BBC NewsA judge has spoken of her surprise at a city councillor continuing to stand despite two sexual assault convictions.
Paul Newcombe, of Laundry Lane, Leicester, was found guilty in September of groping and grabbing a woman to try and kiss her.
Image source, Leicester City CouncilHe was handed a 12 months community order, a five-year restraining order against the victim and 100 hours of unpaid work at Nottingham Crown Court today.
The restraining order against the victim prevents him from contacting her and being within 200m of her.
Judge Sarah Buckingham said she was "astounded" that Newcombe was determined to still be a councillor and added he was likely to "have lost the respect within the local community".
Leicester City Council said Newcombe, who had previously resigned from the Labour group and now stands as an independent, could only be disqualified from his position if he was sentenced to custody or a suspended sentence of three months or more.
