We've just had a statement from Severn Trent about the burst pipe and flooding in Milford.

"Once we’ve done that, we can start to dig down, assess the damage and start the repair. We don’t believe any customers will lose their water supply as a result of this.

Uni switches off social media to help student well-beingpublished at 14:20 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January 2019

BBC News
De Montfort University is switching off all its social media channels for a few days as an example to encourage its students to try their own "digital detox".
University bosses said they wanted to highlight how "unrestrained social media use" can be harmful to the mental health of young people.
The university operates nine different social media channels, including Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram.
Vice-chancellor Prof Dominic Shellard, who says he will stop using Twitter, said: "In conversations I've had with students, I've been really struck by the degree to which their over-engagement on social media is having a negative impact on their mental health.
"They don't want to come off social media completely but they do want to recalibrate their relationship with social media."

Hospital staff shortage causing £14k ambulance billpublished at 12:53 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January 2019
Kit Sandeman
Local Democracy Reporter
A hospital which is struggling to recruit paediatric nurses is having to ferry children to another unit, at a cost of £14,000 a month.
For more than two years, Bassetlaw hospital, in Worksop, has had to close its paediatric unit overnight seven days a week because of a lack of staff.

It has since spent £330,000 with a private company to have an ambulance on standby, ferrying severely ill children to Doncaster for treatment, a drive of about 35 minutes.
Moira Hardy, director of nursing at the trust which runs Bassetlaw and Doncaster hospitals, said they did manage to recruit specialist staff in seven recruitment drives last year but several people left because of "retirements and opportunities elsewhere".
"There is a national shortage of registered paediatric nurses and as such we will continue to work with our partners, such as the South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw Integrated Care System to identify possible solutions for issues such as recruitment," she added.
