An Oswestry woman who has been given a High Sheriff's award for standing up to kidnappers in the town says she wasn't alone, because the community rallied around to help.

Loraine Duncan parked her car across the road to stop the gang from escaping in March last year said she "wasn't the bravest of people there" because there were other passers-by confronting the men in the street.

She said she was advised by the police to stay inside her car and refused to move her vehicle when two of the kidnappers came over and threatened her, telling her to get out of their way.

Mrs Duncan said she was "very proud" to get the bravery award, but she hoped that if her family was in trouble, "someone would step in and help".

Mrs Duncan said it was "just a natural response" and she didn't have time to think about her actions, because it "all happened very quickly".

Her actions and the actions of other passers-by delayed the three men, who were later caught and jailed.

The NSPCC has urged the police not to come down heavily on children caught sharing indecent images of themselves through their smartphones, saying "children should not be unnecessarily criminalised".

The children's charity is also saying that young people need to be educated about the risks associated with "sexting", and that they must be made to realise they can talk to adults if they need to.

An 18th Century, Grade II listed, former windmill near Hortonwood, which was saved from being a derelict ruin, has gone on the market.

When Leslie Gosling bought the building it was a ruin - his next project will be to convert an underground reservoir, so he clearly likes a challenge.
