Read MoreWoman's last days 'undignified' due to council delayspublished at 18:56 British Summer Time 23 July 2021

Local Democracy ReporterA woman with a terminal illness died before a council made improvements to her home which may have made her final days more “dignified”, an investigation has found.
A report from a watchdog said the woman's last months were “were unnecessarily painful and undignified” due to failures from Derbyshire County Council.
The Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman (LGO) has told the council to apologise to the woman's husband and pay him £250 for the “injustice” caused.
The report says in August 2020 “Mr X” asked the council if any adaptations could be made to their Bolsover district home to make their lives easier, such as a stairlift.
"Mrs X” had been sleeping in the living room because she could no longer safely manage using the stairs.
The council said it would be at least 18 months before any works could be done and "Mrs X" died six weeks after her husband contacted them.
The ombudsman said: “The most significant injustice caused by the council’s delay was to ‘Mrs X’."
It said although it is very unlikely the council would have been able to install a stairlift before she died, it "might have been able to provide other aids to help ‘Mr X’ care for his wife of 42 years".
A spokesperson for Derbyshire County Council said: “We’d like to apologise to the family involved in this case that we were not able to make an assessment before the sad death of their loved one.
“There has been a national shortage of occupational therapists for some time, and councils have to compete with the health service who are major employers of the profession.
"We are doing all we can to recruit more OTs."

Police 'gobsmacked' as woman rides horse into reservoirpublished at 15:33 British Summer Time 23 July 2021

BBC News OnlinePolice called to a reservoir to search for a man were stunned to encounter an "equine-obsessed" woman who rode her horse into the water.
Officers from Derbyshire's Mercia safer neighbourhood team said police were sent to Foremark Reservoir after a call from a concerned member of the public, who reported a male had entered the water and disappeared from sight.
Emergency services were deployed to the scene and the man was eventually found, but the team said that was not before "a number of unsavoury occurences".
Writing on Facebook, the team said: "To the equine-obsessed woman, who despite the heightened police presence, decided to ride a horse into the reservoir waters - what were you thinking?
"The female's unreasonable response to justify her actions brought a chuckle to the team, when she argued with a nearby fire officer that although she had seen giant red signs stating 'no swimming', she had not seen a warning notice for 'no swimming whilst riding a horse'.
"Gobsmacked officers reminded the rider that if she had been thrown from the horse in the fast-flowing currents of the deep water she could have been injured, prompting a new rescue mission."
Image source, Mercia Police SNTCiting a string of other incidents, police along with Severn Trent later decided to close the reservoir "to protect public safety".
The team added reservoirs are "very dangerous places", urging people to stay out of the water.
It comes after the body of a man was pulled from a reservoir near Tintwistle in the county on Friday morning.

BBC News OnlineA man who defrauded his mother out of thousands of pounds while she had dementia has been jailed for one year.
Nottinghamshire Police said Robin Morris, 66, abused his power of attorney over his mother's financial affairs to help fund his son's university costs.
He stole at least £5,000 over a four-year period while his mother - who was in her 80s - was at a care home in Worksop, the force added.
His offending came to light when he told his siblings there was no money left in their mother's bank account for her funeral, following her death in 2019.
Morris, of Kilton Hill, Worksop, was sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court on Tuesday.
Det Con Gina Farrell said: "It beggars belief that he [Morris] could take advantage of her vulnerability in this way.
"Naturally this has been a very upsetting episode for his brother and sister. Their motivation for bringing this case was not about money but wanting Morris to face the consequences of the gross dishonesty and disrespect he has shown their mother."

BBC NewsThree men have been jailed after dragging a man off the street into a takeaway and subjecting him to a "barbaric" assault.
Nottinghamshire Police said the victim was punched, stamped on, kicked in the head, pulled by the hair and hit with a traffic cone during the attack inside Victoria Kebabs in Mansfield Road, Nottingham, on 12 June 2020.
Officers were alerted by a member of the public who had seen the man being dragged away.
Asmat Khan, 33, of Claremont Gardens, Sherwood Rise, his brother Mohammed Khan, 33, also of Claremont Gardens, and Zafar Ahmed, 35, of Harcourt Road, Nottingham, were arrested and pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm.
They were sentenced to two years in prison at Nottingham Crown Court on Wednesday.
Image source, Nottinghamshire PoliceDet Insp Danny Johnstone said: "Ahmed and brothers Asmat and Mohammed Khan committed a barbaric, unforgiving attack which has left a man with life-long injuries.
"The victim was treated in hospital after suffering broken bones, including a broken eye socket. The psychological impact will stay with him forever.
"I'd like to thank the member of the public who rightly reported the suspicious nature in which the victim was dragged into the shop. I fear, that if they hadn't, this incident would have had a much different ending."
