Derbyshire Constabulary said one of the reasons it has the highest gender pay gap of any force is because it employs more men in higher ranking positions than women.

Figures show Derbyshire Constabulary has a median gender pay gap of 28.8%. The national average is 18.4%.

Derbyshire Constabulary said 69% of its police officers are men and 66% of the police staff employees are women and that this was important to understanding the pay gap figures.

A spokesman said: "While the force is of course committed to equal pay for work of equal value, an over-representation of men in higher ranking positions – together with more men having been employed for longer periods - means a 5% gap exists in average (mean) police officer pay.

"An over-representation of women in positions where the salary grade is lower accounts for an average (mean) gap of 11.6% in police staff."

The force added: "We will continue to design fairness into every recruitment and promotion process, as well as ensuring that we are as flexible an employer as possible for the balance of work and family life."

A public inquiry into plans to test for the suitability of fracking in Derbyshire is due to take place in June.

INEOS wants to build a 60 metre tall drill in a field off Bramleymoor Lane, near Marsh Lane, six miles north of Chesterfield.

The firm first applied in May for a test drilling site. When Derbyshire County Council had still not decided on the application by December, the company appealed to government planners, citing "unreasonable delays".

At the time of making the appeal, an INEOS spokesman said: "It is our duty to explore our licence areas and we have recently had the 'hurry-up' from the Government's Oil and Gas Authority."

The inquiry is due to take eight days starting on 19 June at the Assembly Rooms, in Chesterfield.

Fracking is often controversial because of fears it can pollute water sources and cause minor earthquakes.

Fosse Meadows Farm was thrilled to receive a top rating, appearing in this year’s sixth annual Observer Food Monthly top 50 published recently.

Jacob Sykes and Nick Ball, joint owners of Fosse Meadows Farm have been producing their award-winning 81-day slow grown free-range chicken for nine years, from their Leicestershire county farm.

The Fosse birds have longer legs, which means they roam further and forage on rich, wild flower pasture for much longer, developing darker meat, that’s rich in texture and flavour. Because of their age the bones are also stronger which also means greater flavour for making stock.

A branding agency has been ordered to remove signs at the entrance to its office after planners ruled they are "detrimental" to the look of a conservation area.

Mynt moved into a former church in Thurnby, last summer. After renovating the building, the existing church signs were clad with the company's own.

Harborough District Council said the alterations to the signage should have had planning permission because the building is in a conservation area.

After retrospective permission was turned down the firm appealed to the planing inspectorate which also dismissed the claim.

Connor Stevenson, project manager at Mynt, said: "It's disappointing that this has happened after we've renovated a building that would otherwise be derelict."

Derbyshire Constabulary pays its female staff more than a quarter less than men, making it the force with the highest gender pay gap in England and Wales.

Figures show Derbyshire Constabulary has a median gender pay gap of 28.8%. When comparing hourly rates, women earn 71p for every £1 men earn.

Leicestershire Police comes sixth in the list of the 44 forces, with a gender pay gap of 24.5%. While Nottinghamshire Police is among the forces with the lowest gender pay gap, paying women 11.6% less than men on average. The national average is 18.4%

The gender pay gap is calculated as the difference between the average salaries of men and women - it is not the same as equal pay, where firms are required to pay people doing the same job the same salary regardless of gender.

Universities are more concerned about their reputations than confronting the racist abuse of students, the National Union of Students president has said.

Shakira Martin (pictured) told BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme she received calls from students reporting racist incidents on a daily basis.

The issue hit the headlines earlier this month when a student at Nottingham Trent University tweeted footage of alleged racist abuse outside her room at her halls of residence.

Two 18-year-old men were arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated public order offences and an 18-year-old woman was also voluntarily interviewed. All three were released pending further inquiries.

The university also said it would not tolerate that "kind of vile behaviour" and an unspecified number of "suspected perpetrators" had been suspended after it was reported.

A conman exposed by the BBC last month for defrauding voiceover performers is now thought to have been falsely claiming to be making a film.

Carl Mould, who's originally from Nottingham, advertised a new film he was making and charged aspiring actors £25 to audition at so-called screen test events for Who is the Sun King.

An actor, who did not want to be identified, said Mould showed him artwork for the apparent film and claimed a "very famous footballer was putting millions into it".

He said: "People put money in to be at the premiere, have a bit of a party or to be seen with the stars...It's a total deception. It's a deceiver of the worst kind."

Mould denies any wrongdoing and says the fees he charged for the auditions were for the food provided.

Acting union Equity is now investigating.

Paul Broadbent's widow said he had an "appetite to serve the public".

New figures suggest hare coursing is on the rise in Leicestershire and Rutland.

Between 2016 and 2017 there were just over 100 reported incidents, but there were the same number in the following seven months.

Simon Winn from Leicestershire Police says new technology is helping them tackle the problem. He added: "I've been on social media and since October time we have had almost daily reports in Rutland of hare coursing incidents."

He said they had seen gangs of criminals coming over from Lincolnshire where they were experiencing a bigger problem with the illegal bloodsport, and also individuals working on their own.
