    A Leicestershire woman who has been helping villagers during the coronavirus outbreak said she felt "hurt and let down" to find all her car tyres slashed.

    Helen Crouch, who set up the Bagworth, Thornton and Stanton coronavirus response team, said she helps residents by collecting and dropping off food and prescriptions as well as offering support on the phone.

    The 41-year-old, from Bagworth, said she found her car had been vandalised while it was parked on Main Street, in Thornton, between 19:00 on Saturday and 12:00 on Sunday.

    "I am a strong person, but I sat and cried. I was angry and frustrated," she said.

    "We'd like to thank them [the pupils] for taking the time to make and send these to us. Assistant chief constable Kem Mehmet really enjoyed reading them."

  15. Table tennis star welcomes growth in interestpublished at 13:40 British Summer Time 30 March 2020

    Table tennis has turned out to be one of the surprise successes among self-isolating households, and one of the UK's top players is hoping it will serve as inspiration for future stars.

    Sales in table tennis tables have been soaring since the coronavirus outbreak saw schools and businesses shut down across the country, with one Bristol-based retailer telling the BBC he has sold 124 tables in the last week alone.

    Liam Pitchford, from Chesterfield, had been looking forward to taking part in the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, having recently beaten Chinese world number one Xu Xin en route to his first World Tour final in Qatar last month.

    While admitting the postponement of the Tokyo tournament is "slightly frustrating", the 26-year-old hopes the current situation could benefit British players in the long run.

    I definitely think it's the ideal sport to play in the lockdown - provided you've got a big enough room, or you don't mind it being affected by the wind outside. There's so many kids sitting at home bored at the moment and this is the ideal thing for them to learn a new skill.
