Read excerpt
A fox cub is having swimming sessions in a hydrotherapy pool to help his recovery after he was hit by a car.

'Unacceptable' wavy lines on road in Gedling mocked (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Wavy yellow lines painted on a road in Nottinghamshire have been labelled a "joke" and an "embarrassment" by residents.
