Worcester Warriors’ young back-row forward, Huw Taylor, says he’s delighted to be among five players from Sixways to have been included in the England Under 20s squad for the Six Nations Championship.

Taylor, Jamie Shillcock, Jack Singleton, Sam Ripper-Smith and Andrew Kitchener are all part of the squad that will be looking to retain the title from last season.

Huw Taylor says the strong representation in the squad is testament to the hard work done by the academy and youth coaches at Sixways.

A prominent Wyre Forest councillor will be asked to explain some of her Facebook posts at an ethics and standards committee meeting this afternoon.

Fran Oborski took to social media to call staff at the Ginger Cafe in Stourport "moronic idiots" after she was drenched by water pouring off an awning outside the premises last November.

She's apologised for the posts, but has been asked to appear before the council's ethics and standards committee after complaints were made about them.

Too many vulnerable children are being detained unnecessarily by West Mercia Police, according to a watchdog body.

A report from HM Inspectorate of Constabulary looking into how the force deals with child protection says in the last year many children were held by officers overnight, rather than being handed to social workers.

West Mercia Police said: "We have implemented many improvements since the initial inspection, however there are areas highlighted in the review where we need to continue to improve and we will strive to meet these standards."
