A police officer who aims to return to work after having his leg amputated has been hailed "an inspiration" by the Thames Valley Police Federation.

PC Tom Dorman lost the limb after his marked police car was hit in a collision in Maidenhead, Berkshire, in September.

He’s vowed to return to the job "within a year, to do what every police officer does, catching criminals and looking after people," he told BBC Breakfast.

Federation chairman Craig O’Leary said it was "quite emotional" seeing the 26-year-on talking on TV "with such passion".

He added: "We’re only talking eight weeks ago when he was injured and had his leg amputated, and to see him sat on a national breakfast TV show, championing the cause of tourniquets and saving lives is absolutely testament to the type of man that he is."

Plans have been put forward to build a gas power station south Oxfordshire.

Andrew Troup a director of Statera Energy, which is behind the plans, said the impact would be minimal.

Plans have been revealed to create a new "university centre" in Berkshire, which would allow hundreds of students to study degrees at Newbury College.

The site would allow people to study courses in a number of areas - including Digital Technology, Engineering and Business and would be run by the college.

The exhibition will run from February to June 2019 and will be curated by Koons himself.

A council has said it will "explore options" for providing a new home for Newbury Football Club as part of a future refurbishment of Northcroft Leisure Centre.

It has since been playing home matches five miles away at Brimpton.

The council said it had been unable to commit to the length of lease that the club's league required.

Francis Habgood, of Thames Valley Police, climbed into an overturned car and waited with the driver.
