A new law comes into force today which classes online grooming as a crime - it means police can arrest anyone who sends a sexual message to a child before physical abuse takes place. 

It comes as figures reveal a big rise in child abusers in Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

Millions of us need to exercise more – but it’s difficult when a large part of your day is taken up with work. That’s where treadmill desks come in.

My Home Move based in Enderby, Leicestershire, is a law firm specialising in the legal side of property sales. 

When the company moved to a new headquarters in December they installed four treadmills hooked up to desks.

They have three basic settings slow, moderate, and fast walking pace, staff use them for meetings, for one to ones and both before and after work just to unwind, or wind up. 

The staff also have a competition from January to March to see who can lose the most weight with people I met losing up to a stone and a half. 

Staff said it  makes them think about getting fit, many bring their trainers in alongside their high heels.   

It’s also inspired the company to have free fruit delivered weekly, organise a walking club, a cycle to work scheme and a charity fundraising trek.

Crowds turned out yesterday to see the first train to stop at Ilkeston railway station in 50 years.

Work on the new station, which has been delayed by flooding and the discovery of protected newts, has taken four years to complete.

The town once boasted three railway stations but the last one closed in 1967.

MP for Erewash, Maggie Throup, said: "The station will not only transform the way local people travel, but will undoubtedly give a significant boost to the local economy and attract new business to the area."
