Now we've all heard of Hansel and Gretel and that famous gingerbread house... but how about a Santa's Grotto made of gingerbread?

Well, it's being created at the Weston Favell shopping centre. At this moment workmen are cladding the house with gingerbread that has been made at a bakery in Grantham.

It's due to open on Saturday... and if you've been a good boy or girl, you may get a sweet treat yourself...

We've just heard back from M&S after a report from the Local Data Company, external said the store in Kettering was at risk of closure.

A spokesperson for the company said it was "very disappointed that anyone would choose to speculate in this way".

M&S said the list of 52 stores compiled by the retail analysts "is not based on any M&S data and we have not published any locations".

The retailer added: "What we have done is outlined plans to improve our store estate over the next five years, which include opening 200 new food stores and selling clothing and home from 60 fewer stores."

A new report suggests the Marks and Spencer store in Kettering is at risk of closure, as the retailer looks to implement turnaround plans announced last week.

M&S announced it will close 30 UK clothing and homeware shops and convert dozens more into food stores.

Retail analysts, the Local Data Company, external, have looked at various factors and revealed 52 stores which could be at risk of closure, conversion or moved to a smaller site.

The report says the "health" of the high street in Kettering, including factors like population, earnings, and vacancy rates, is weakening and that puts the current store, which includes food and clothing, at risk.

Marks and Spencer chief executive Steve Rowe would not be drawn on the store closures when he announced the plans last week.

The education secretary is urging Northamptonshire schools to work together better, in order to boost results.

Justine Greening was responding to a question in the Commons from the Conservative MP for Kettering, Philip Hollobone, who raised concerns that educational attainment in the county is below the national average.

Justine Greening says her department is working with local councils to improve school performance, but admits there's more to be done.

If there happens to be a break in the cloud where you live tonight, you might want to photograph the "supermoon" which won't be this close to Earth again until November 2034.

Nasa has issued some top tips on taking a memorable image, which include:

• Choose the location carefully
• Use people to bring it to life
• Use advanced DSLR techniques

We're also told that if you're prepared to wait until Tuesday, weather conditions should be better, although the moon won't be at its biggest size.

Julian Momen, chief executive officer for Carlsberg UK, said it is "continuing to offer everyone concerned with the support they may require" following the death of a worker at the factory in Northampton. 

He said the company is "assisting the authorities with their investigation".

Mr Momen said the company had "put in place the necessary plans to re-start aspects of production on the site, but we will only do this at the appropriate time and in a controlled manner".

Carlsberg has told me the investigation into the death of one of its brewery workers last week is still ongoing at the factory in Northampton.

The company also confirmed another worker remains in a serious but stable condition in hospital.

Production has yet to start back up at the site and it's still unclear when it will begin again.

The post-mortem examination is due to be held on the dead brewery worker tomorrow.

Parliament celebrates the life of Northampton MP Charles Bradlaugh with a new sculpture.

A campaign urging shops to stay closed on Boxing Day has received considerable support from shop workers.

"I've worked in retail nearly 10 years. We never used to open and we shouldn't," wrote one of the petition's signatories.

"I'm not a doctor where I would be saving someone's life. I'm a sales consultant. I sell clothing and other household items to people that quite frankly don't have a life on Boxing Day."

One supporter of the petition said his work schedule meant he did not have time to enjoy Christmas, saying: "I am a retail manager and I haven't spent time with family for Christmas since I was 15."

The petition, launched a month ago, now has almost 110,000 signatures.

The petition to end Boxing Day shopping, started by Kettering baker Ian Lapworth, comes at a time when retailers are reconsidering their Christmas sales strategies.

In previous years much touted Black Friday sales saw vast crowds and chaos in some stores. The day was more muted last year, as companies toned down their sales pitches.

But retailers still want to make the most out of shoppers' enthusiasm for a bargain.

Mr Lapworth plans to send his petition to Prime Minister Theresa May, but commenting on a similar petition last year the government said: "We do not believe it is for central government to tell businesses how to run their shops or how best to serve their customers. Therefore we are not proposing to ban shops from opening on Boxing Day."
