Showers will continue to feed down the eastern side of the region overnight, but for many it will be dry. 

There's the chance of some mist and fog and it's going to be cold. Temperatures in some spots could drop below freezing, so there'll be a frost and possibly some icy patches.

It'll be a cold and frosty start to Tuesday. Cloud will eventually thicken from the west and some persistent rain will then move eastwards on Tuesday evening and night. Temperatures on Tuesday only reaching around 6C (43F).

I tried to find out how much the "NH1" number plate would be worth.

I had one valuation of £50,000 and one of nearly £300,000. 

Like all these things, it depends who is going in on an auction.

Opinions are mixed on whether it should be sold, with Lib Dem group leader on the borough council Sally Beardsworth (pictured) not supporting the idea of sale, saying the number plate was a gift to the borough.

However, there is more support of the idea of eventually replacing the mayoral car, a Jaguar which cost £38,000 in 2014, with a hybrid car, which is already the case in Daventry and Corby.

The ruling Conservative borough council says the car costs £1,500-a-year to run and is a "practical and cost-effective transport option" compared to taxis.

There are calls for a review to see if the personalised number plate on Northampton's mayoral car "NH1" could be sold to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Borough councillors will also discuss whether the Jaguar car should be replaced with a hybrid.

The issue is being raised by the Labour councillor and current deputy mayor, Gareth Eales.

"This is about debating whether an asset should be sold - that happens to be the mayoral car - and use that money for other services," he said.

A planning application to redevelop the University of Northampton's Avenue Campus on St George's Avenue has been submitted to Northampton Borough Council.

The plan proposes to redevelop the site for housing when the university moves to its new Waterside Campus.

The proposals would see 200 homes built.

The Newton Building, a Grade II-listed former school, will be retained by the university, alongside the preservation of the two pavilions at the front of the existing campus, which are locally listed.

The existing student halls will be kept in use "for the short to medium term", the application says.

Imagine always being one heartbeat away from a trip to hospital.

That’s the case for Emily Rootes, whose own immune system reacts against itself and leaves her at risk of anaphylactic shock.

In April, the British Racing Drivers' Club (BRDC) said it was in talks to lease the circuit's property to Jaguar Land Rover, which had been considering turning the site into a "heritage centre" to show off its luxury cars.

But in a statement the firm said: "Jaguar Land Rover has ended discussions with the British Racing Drivers' Club for the foreseeable future and is not proceeding with any plans to either lease or purchase Silverstone at this time."
