"There are so many memories for me when I was around these streets."

Sherrie will star alongside Ben Richards who has appeared in Holby City, Hollyoaks and the Bill.

Earlier this week a so called "monster fatberg" was discovered in a sewer beneath the streets of London.

It weighed around 130 tonnes and was made up of things like cooking oil, nappies, condoms and baby wipes.

This discovery has led to Severn Trent Water reminding people in the East Midlands not to put items like this down the toilet or sink.

This sewage treatment plant in Wanlip has to deal with around 20 tonnes of non treatable waste each week from homes around Leicestershire and Rutland.

Clearing blockages costs the company about £5m each year.

Taxi drivers in Derby have asked the city council to increase fares by as much as a fifth.

Fares in the city have been frozen for nine years but two rival taxi groups want an increase.

Derby Area Taxi Operators Association wants a three-mile journey to go up by 16% but the Derby Hackney Union said it should go up by just 10%.

A 10-mile journey after 23:00 could go up by 22% but Derby City Council will decide whether to grant any increase next week.

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) has published its report into a fatal collision between two aircraft in Leicestershire.

It concluded that the "pilots did not see each other's aircraft in sufficient time to take effective avoiding action".

Glider Chris Armstrong died following the crash near Lubenham in December.

The 70-year-old had been flying in a northerly direction and turned right in the direction of the airfield. There was then about 24 seconds between finishing the turn and the collision.

The Civil Aviation Authority has said before this crash there had been 11 mid-air collisions involving gliders in the UK since 2006. This had resulted in one death.

Following the crash the authority has encouraged aircraft to fit Electronic Conspicuity devices - increasing the ability to detect other aircraft in the area. The glider already had this technology.

The family of a man who has served 11 years in prison for what was a 10-month sentence have welcomed the news that he will be freed.

James Ward, from Sutton-in-Ashfield, was jailed in 2006 after getting into a fight with his father Bill, but after he set fire to his prison bed the 32-year-old was given an Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) sentence.

IPPs have no release date and were abolished by then-justice secretary Ken Clarke in 2012, but more than 3,000 people in England and Wales are still serving them.

April, Mr Ward’s sister, said the family is “very excited” to hear he will be released, but said it was “heartbreaking” about 3,000 people are still serving similar sentences.

Victims of the rogue surgeon will be paid compensation from a new £37m fund, it was announced on Wednesday.
