    Heanor Traders Association, now renamed as Heanor Vision, has pitched an application to Amber Valley Borough Council for a premises licence on Heanor Memorial Park. If approved the community group would be able to host up to nine live music and outdoor film events in the park each year.

    Film screenings could run from 19:00 until midnight on Fridays, Saturdays and bank holiday Sundays and Mondays. Live and recorded music would be allowed from 09:00 until 19:00 on the same range of days.

    This follows the success of two outdoor film viewings last year, hosted by the group, which saw more than 400 people flock to watch the Rocky Horror Show and The Greatest Showman in the open air.

    Dr Samantha Batt-Rawden said there were "no winners" in the case but restoring Dr Bawa-Garba to the medical register was "the right outcome".

    "I have no doubt that Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba will now be the safest doctor in the hospital, and as a doctor and a mother I would have no hesitation in allowing her to treat my child,” she added.

    A tribunal has determined that a raft of conditions be imposed on her registration for 24 months from the end of July when her 12-month suspension ends.

    Police say Mason, of no fixed address, was first found in possession of a knife when his car was stopped in Portland Road, Nottingham, on 22 August 2017.

    On 6 June last year, police say they found just over 24g of cannabis, digital weighing scales, a mobile phone and £1,700 in cash when they carried out a search warrant at his former home in Portland Road.

    He was tasered in the Sneinton Market area of Nottingham on 16 June after failing to comply with officers who responded to a report he was carrying a weapon.

    They found this large hunting knife in his possession.
