    The waterfall sculpture in Derby's Market Place has been switched back on - two years after being turned off by the Labour-held city council to save money.

    The Conservatives pledged to turn the water back on again as part of its local election manifesto prior to taking control of the authority earlier this year.

    The water feature cost £28,000 to switch back on and a further £6,000 a year to keep running.

    Nottingham Trent University has said it will now continue its own internal investigation after Lauren Leigh was cleared of racist harassment at court today.

    Ms Leigh, 19, had been suspended during the criminal proceedings but had passed her first year exams.

    In a statement the university said Ms Leigh's co-accused Joe Tivnan who admitted the charge in May was no longer a student there so would not be subject to the investigation.

    The university added: "Any form of racism and discrimination at NTU will not be tolerated and we would like to reassure people that this was an extremely isolated incident.

    "NTU has a diverse, global and inclusive student and staff community of which we are proud, and we will tackle firmly all forms of unacceptable behaviour which opposes our values and culture."
