Lorries plan prompts anger at meetingpublished at 11:09 British Summer Time 18 September 2019

Local Democracy ReporterA local council leader has said Leicestershire County Council was "probably in the same pub" as a retail giant after neither attended a meeting.
Stuart Bray, leader of Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council, criticised officers from County Hall who raised no objections to an increase in when HGVs could use roads near Poundstretcher's Kirby Muxloe depot.
At a planning meeting to discuss the issue, he said: "We invited the county council to come here tonight and defend its comments.
"I think they are probably in the same pub as Poundstretcher. They're certainly not here."
He also criticised the firm for "bypassing democracy" after it appealed to the Planning Inspectorate before the meeting, citing delays by the borough council.
The appeal sidesteps the borough council but councillors unanimously agreed the inspectorate should be told it would have refused permission.
The county council said it "totally refuted" the comments and stood by its decisions on the issue.

Experts found 18 to 40-year-olds accounted for 12.5% of cases of Type 2 diabetes diagnosed in 2017.
In 2000 the figure was 9.5% - nearly a third less - according to analysis of 370,854 patients by teams from the University of Leicester and Melbourne University.
The research also found nearly three quarters of the under 40s were obese, compared with fewer than half of those diagnosed with Type 2 in their 70s.
