  1. Dad with Parkinson's disease has specialist treatmentpublished at 08:40 Greenwich Mean Time 16 November 2017

    A dad-of-five who has Parkinson's disease says he has been able to go back to work after a specialist treatment to help with his symptoms.

    Jonathan Wright has had deep brain stimulation treatment at the Queen's Medical Centre, in Nottingham, which can help control the symptoms of the disease, but does not cure it and is not suitable for everyone.

    The treatment involves placing electrodes inside the brain to change the electrical signals in the brain that cause the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

    Mr Wright, from Leicester, said: "I am able to go back to work, socialise normally and I don't have a fear of being in company. My sleep patterns have normalised.

    "My mobility is virtually normalised so it is just right across the board, the positive impact."

    The average season ticket prices across English football's top flight are at their lowest levels since 2013.

    So how do Premier League side Leicester City compare?

    Well, the average cheapest season ticket prices are £464. Leicester City's cheapest season ticket costs £365.

    The average cost of the cheapest matchday ticket is now £29.30. However, you can see the Foxes play for £26.

    So Foxes supporters might be getting a good deal with ticket prices, but perhaps not so much when it comes to buying food and drink at the ground.

    A pie at King Power stadium will set you back £4 - the Premier League average is £3.65.

    The cost of a cup of tea and a matchday programme at the ground are also more than the average price.

    You can find out more about how much it costs you to see your football club play here.
