    Derbyshire firefighters at the scene have come from Glossop, Buxton, Clay Cross, Wirksworth and Bakewell stations and have been joined today by a Nottinghamshire crew from Stapleford.

  10. Minor injury units to close two hours earlypublished at 16:47 British Summer Time 28 June 2018

    Health chiefs have reassured patients following a decision to cut the opening hours of Derbyshire's four minor injury units (MIUs).

    As it stands, the MIUs in Buxton, Darley Dale, Ilkeston and Ripley close at 22:00.

    However, from Monday 2 July, they will all close two hours earlier to bring them in line with Derby Urgent Care Centre, which opens between 08:00 and 20:00.

    Local NHS bosses said the change was due to the low number of patients who visit the county's MIUs late in the evening - fewer than two people visiting each site per hour between 20:00 and 22:00.

    Reduced opening hours mean that more staff can be working during busy periods when they are needed most, Derbyshire CCGs have said.

    After 20:00, patients have been advised to visit their nearest out-of-hours pharmacist, call 111 or visit www.nhs.uk.

    A teenager who was arrested for carrying a knife after a 13-year-old boy and a man were shot in Nottingham has been sentenced to 12 months detention.

    The same 15-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was also sentenced for robbing three boys in December last year.

    shooting scene St Ann's

    Nottinghamshire Police said the boy was arrested in February after he and another offender followed three boys as they left a restaurant in Mapperley.

    He waved a machete towards them and stole a small amount of cash before running off.

    On 4 June, the same boy was stopped by armed officers after he was seen near the scene of a shooting in St Ann's Well Road.

    Police said they saw him running from the scene and later hiding behind a wall.

    He told officers he'd armed himself with a knife from home and went to the area to help his friend who'd called him to say he'd been shot.

    Officers found a knife in a sheath on the floor next to the wall.

    He was sentenced to 12 months in a young offenders’ institute at Nottingham Youth Court yesterday and ordered to pay £250 compensation.

    A former Army serviceman who indecently assaulted a young girl in the Lake District in the 1980s has been given a suspended prison sentence.

    Douglas Brian Edmund Pullen, 67, of Newdigate Street, Kimberley, Nottingham, must also complete a sex offender treatment course, comply with a sexual harm prevention order and sign the sex offenders' register for 10 years.

    Prosecutor Richard Haworth told Judge Barbara Forrester the defendant's victim had "bottled matters up" before reporting his attacks many years later.

    Hearing of Pullen’s remorse and how he was caring for a wife suffering from ill health, Judge Forrester suspended a 12-month jail term for two years.
