    Derby County fans have been warned not to buy re-sale tickets for Monday's play-off final against Aston Villa.

    He said: "We know how much this game means to fans – and many are willing to pay the sky-high prices that are being asked.

    "However, the risk you run by buying one of these tickets is huge.

    "Not only could you be refused entry to the ground – you will almost definitely lose your money as there is little or no recourse to regain that money yourself.

    "The force is also investigating people who are selling tickets online, particularly by social media.”

  14. Council invests in 'economic growth' staffpublished at 17:53 British Summer Time 21 May 2019

    BBC Radio Leicester

    Up to half a million pounds a year is to be spent by Leicestershire County Council on new staff to support housing and economic growth.

    Leaders have defended the decision by claiming the county faces unprecedented pressure for more roads, schools and transport infrastructure that could cost £600m over the next 25 years.

    Councillor Byron Rhodes told the BBC it's going to be difficult to find the money at a time when the authority continues to face budget cuts.

    He said: "We are anticipating that in the future, eventually our revenues will start to improve so we will provide for that out of those improvements."

    A man has been jailed for two-and-a-half years for sexually abusing a teenage girl.

    Robert Moseley, 55, of Bowhill Grove, Leicester, was jailed on Friday at Leicester Crown Court and also made subject to a 10-year sexual harm prevention order.

    Police say Moseley began abusing his victim when she was 13 years old, from 2009 until 2013.

    He was convicted of two counts of sexual assault following a trial at the same court.

    Bosses at the city council have welcomed news they are being given £8.3 million from the government to invest in public transport.

    The Labour-run council formally accepted the funding today, which will be spent on a wide range of improvements.

    These include: more contactless payment points at tram stops; 250 real-time information screens for bus arrivals; 8.1km of towpath improvements on the Nottingham to Beeston Canal; and 'smart traffic controls' on the A52 to give buses priority at traffic lights.

    Councillor Adele Williams, portfolio holder for transport, said: "I think it's really good news for the city, in terms of people being able to get to work, and enjoy all the good things we've got happening in Nottingham, with as little impact on the climate as we can."
