One of the main routes in and out of Nottingham will see average speed cameras installed next year.

Tony Smith, from Bramcote, started a long campaign to get cameras near his home on the A52 Derby Road after two friends were killed in a crash there in 2016 when they had been racing with another car.

The speed limit on the route between the Priory Island and Bramcote Island is currently 40mph.

Mr Smith died last year but his campaign was backed by Broxtowe MP Anna Soubry.

Now Highways England has confirmed it will be installing new speed cameras and signs along the road early next year.

It's been nice weather for ducks for much of the summer, and two mardy-looking mallards have been inspecting repair works being carried out at Toddbrook Reservoir.

The recent downpours certainly ruffled a few feathers, and none more so than in Whaley Bridge, where 1,500 residents were evacuated over fears the dam could collapse.

The Canal & River Trust confirmed today repairs could take up to three years to finish, but these two couldn't resist sticking their beaks in for an early peek.

Two councillors from Gedling Borough Council have received summonses over unpaid council tax bills.

Data revealed by the Freedom of Information Act shows Labour councillors Jim Creamer and Roxanne Ellis both received summonses.

Councillor Creamer represents the Carlton Hill ward, and in 2017/18 received a court summons for £1,234.16.

He said the non-payment had been "a mistake" and he "completely lost track of time".

Councillor Ellis, who represents the Ernehale ward, received two court summons - in 2017/18 for £575 and in 2018/19 for £706.

She said it was an "oversight" the bills weren't paid and she had been unemployed on and off in that period.

Both have since paid the amounts in full.

A spokesman for the council said: "Everyone is subject to the same rules if they fail to pay their council tax on time."

He was wearing a turquoise or green-collared polo shirt, black trousers and brown leather slip-on shoes.

A D-Day veteran has travelled through the streets of Ashbourne in a World War Two landing craft today, 75 years after the Normandy landing.

"I shall feel quite at home," said 103-year-old Bill Millward, from Derbyshire, before he got on board.

"I've loved seeing it again. I've just embraced it."

Mr Millward, who drove a DUKW vessel - known as a "Duck" - on D-Day, said it was "no different to any other day" as he was doing the "same job" he always did.

The journey, in a fully-restored and working DUKW, was arranged as a special treat for him by a group of friends and the mayor of Ashbourne.
