  3. Owner of 'out of control' dog sought after double attackpublished at 15:29 British Summer Time 23 October 2018

    A man has been attacked twice in a fortnight by what police describe as an "out of control" dog in the same park in Poole.

    In this first incident, the victim, a local man in his 40s, was cycling through Bourne Valley Park when he was approached by one of two Alsatian dogs, when the pedal of the bicycle struck the dog, which reacted by biting the victim’s leg.

    On 14 October, the same dog approached the victim, who had to put his bike between him and the dog before asking the owner to control his pet.

    Dorset Police have released a picture of the suspected owner, who uses a walking stick, in the hope of identifying him.

    The impact of a declining nightlife is having a "devastating" impact on taxi drivers in Oxfordshire, it has been claimed.

    People are going out less than they used to - with the number of UK nightclubs falling from 3,144 in 2005 to just 1,733 in 2015.

    Jaffa Hassan, who drives a cab in Bicester, said: "The night crew are really struggling, there's a big turndown in the amount of work they do.

    "Whenever I go out, I am shocked by how quiet business is."

  13. 'Patchy' service for SWR commuterspublished at 09:14 British Summer Time 23 October 2018

    Commuters using South Western Railway (SWR) trains will face a reduced service for the rest of this week due to strike action.

    Members of the RMT union are taking action in the long-running dispute over the use of guards on trains - walking out from today until Saturday.

    SWR, which runs lines from Southampton, Bournemouth, Portsmouth and Basingstoke, says it's aiming to run two out of three services today.

    Quote Message

    The service is going to be patchy. Inevitably, South Western Railway is focusing on the big passenger flows into London Waterloo. So if you are on those trains you will probably OK. Where it falls down are on lesser-used routes towards the margins.
