    A couple running a kitchen and bathroom store pocketed more than £43,000 in unpaid VAT, tax inspectors said.

    Russell and Marie Hill, 43 and 41 of Countesthorpe in Leicestershire, charged their customers at C & R Kitchen and Bathrooms Ltd VAT over four years but gave false information to HMRC.

    Instead they used the money to pay off their debts and buy a second property.

    They admitted fraud at Leicester Crown Court yesterday and were both sentenced to eight months in prison suspended for two years and ordered to do 150 hours of unpaid work.

  19. Call to save former department store from demolitionpublished at 16:27 Greenwich Mean Time 9 January 2019

    East Midlands Today

    A leading architect says the 1960s curves on a former Debenhams store in Derby should save it from demolition.

    The empty site could be knocked down as part of a regeneration plan, that's already cost £8m.

    Architect Derek Latham believes that an extra storey could be added to the building and that refurbishing would be a better option than demolition.

    He added: “Re-envisioning this as part of a new development is likely to bring a much better quality of design than simply taking it down and starting again.”

  20. New prison to have barless windowspublished at 16:18 Greenwich Mean Time 9 January 2019

    BBC Radio Leicester

    A new prison in Leicestershire will be among the first in the country to get rid of bars on cell windows.

    Ministers said the windows would be hard to break and better for stopping prisoners "accessing contraband".

    The prison - going up on the site of the former jail at Glen Parva - is expected to open in 2022.

    The cell windows will be fitted with toughened glass and air vents, under Ministry of Justice plans.
