Rex Howell, who runs the Bay Tree on the corner of Potter Street and Derby Road in Melbourne, told BBC Radio Derby: "It's all brand new, two weeks old. It's heartbreaking.

A plan which would see Nottingham City Council's boundaries expand into nearby areas will now be consulted on.

The Labour-run authority says the city boundaries are too tightly drawn meaning people who live just on the outskirts use its services - such as public transport - but do not contribute towards them in their council tax.

Council leaders in Gedling and Broxtowe have objected to the plans and said their residents have no desire to become part of the city.

The leader of the city council, Jon Collins, has previously said the city had no desire to undergo a re-organisation.

But a report for the city council said: "Nottingham has made it clear that if the county pursues the creation of a single tier of government within Nottinghamshire, this would cement the city's under bounded status.

"Therefore the city has no alternative but to respond to the county's proposals with local government reorganisation proposals of our own."

The officer suffered head injuries when he was hit by a car he was trying to stop in Leicester.

The number of children being referred for specialist help for mental health problems has risen hugely across the East Midlands - with experts describing the situation as "a crisis".

Figures obtained by East Midlands Today show the number of children seeking professional help has risen by 131% in the last six years in Nottinghamshire, and 50% in Leicestershire.

South Derbyshire and Derby City saw 1,500 children referred for help last year - but they didn't provide previous figures to allow any comparison.

They said the average waiting time for a child to have an initial assessment is more than eight weeks, in Nottinghamshire it's seven weeks and in Leicestershire, 32 days.

But charities have told the BBC actually getting help can take much longer.

Kate Majid, from Newark-based mental health charity, The Shaw Mind Foundation called it "an epidemic".

She said: "We've seen a rise in young people who self-harm as a coping mechanism, a rise in generalised anxiety, a rise in depression in young people."

Football legend Paul Gascoigne was arrested in Durham in August and will face court next month.
