Police officers were assaulted, rail staff abused and an emergency cord pulled during trouble on two trains following Leicester City's match against Stoke City at the weekend.

British Transport Police are appealing for witnesses to a number of incidents that took place on the 6.01pm and the 6.30pm services from Leicester to Derby on Saturday.

Detective Inspector Gareth Davies of British Transport Police, said: "A large number of fans were travelling on both services to catch connections back to Stoke from Derby.

"We are investigating reports of a number of incidents taking place on both trains including police officers being assaulted, members of rail staff being abused and passengers, including other football fans, being intimidated.

"The emergency cord was also pulled on the 6.01pm service, resulting in the train coming to a standstill and significant delays to the train and passengers on board.

"I would like to appeal to anyone who may have been either of the services who witnessed any of the above behaviour, or who may have any information which could assist this investigation, to come forward and contact us.

"This must have been an intimidating environment for other fans passengers and staff on board the train.

"While we believe that the incidents were committed by a small number of fans, we simply will not tolerate football related anti-social behaviour and disorder like this and we will be continuing our enquiries to find those responsible, including viewing any available CCTV and speaking to witnesses."

Officers are appealing for anyone who may have been on either train and witnessed the disorder to come forward.

Anyone with information is asked to contact British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40  quoting background reference MSUB/B6 of 21/1/2015. Information can also be passed to the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Ram-raiders have ripped out a cash machine at the Co-op store in Ibstock.

The store, in Ashby Road, was targeted at about 2.50am today (Thursday) when a vehicle was used to pull the cash machine from the wall.

This morning a large hole in the wall, a pile of rubble and an abandoned vehicle could be seen at the scene.

Two vehicles were seen in the area around the time of the incident and enquiries are being carried out at in Ibstock this morning.

Detective Constable Stuart Palmer said: "Our investigation is in its early stages and we are in the process of trawling CCTV and speaking to people in the area.

"I would appeal to anyone with information about the incident to call police immediately."

This is the latest in a series of ram-raids at Co-op store in Leicestershire and across the country.

Four machines have been ripped from village Co-op shops in Sapcote, Asfordby, Whetstone and Newbold Verdon in the past few months.

In each case the thieves used a stolen digger to carry out the raid. They loaded the cash machine on to a second vehicle and escaped.

A further four ATMs have been stolen using a similar method in Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Gloucestershire in the same period.

Police have not said if they are linking this latest raid to the previous thefts.

Anyone with information is urged to call Leicestershire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

The UKIP candidate for Charnwood has issued a campaign leaflet saying people on benefits should not be able to drive cars.

County councillor Lynton Yates' literature asked why benefits claimants "have the privilege of spending the tax payers (sic) hard earned money on a car when those in work are struggling to keep their cars on the road?"

Coun Yates, who represents the Glenfields division at County Hall, added: "These people really could catch the bus."

He suggested traffic congestion could be solved if six million people on benefits were not driving.

The leaflet has been mocked on social media with people pointing out job seekers need to be able to drive to find work and that disabled people on benefits should clearly be entitled to drive.

The Mercury has been unable to contact Coun Yates but UKIP spokesman Gawain Towler confirmed the policy was "100 per cent" not an official party one.

He said: "This is not UKIP party policy. In fact it sounds more like one of Al Murray's common sense solutions.

"I think he (Lynton) is going to have to pulp the rest of those leaflets.

"We do not think people on the dole should be banned from driving."

North West Leicestershire UKIP candidate Dr Andy McWilliam distanced himself from his colleague's views.

He said: "I would like to clarify that the views expressed by Lynton Yates were entirely his own, and are not shared by UKIP nor by myself."

Bosses at an anti-poverty charity have warned that their 'Blue Monday' does not arrive until next month.

Christians Against Poverty, which has three centres covering Leicestershire, said the day of the year they get the most calls about debt problems will be February 9.

Shirley Rollins, manager at the Leicester base at All Nations Church in Frog Island, said: "Rather than the mythical peak known as 'Blue Monday' on January 19, the charity actually receives the most calls for debt help on the second Monday, in February which this year lands on February 9.

"Every week, the busiest day for debt help calls is a Monday, when people have had time over the weekend to resolve to seek help.

"We see a rise in calls during January and February because most people can't face tackling their finances before Christmas.

"When these two elements come together, we see our busiest time. As our reach extends to more areas, with more debt coaches, we are set to see more people booked in than ever before."

The national charity has debt centres in Frog Island, Blaby and Narborough.

Ms Rollins said CAP had already received 479 calls for debt help in the first working week of this year.

She said appointments at the Frog Island centre are currently booked up until the beginning of February.

Recent research from CAP has shown that people often struggle for years with personal debt following income changes caused by events such as losing a job or a relationship breakdown.

The charity negotiates with creditors on behalf of the client and draws up a budget to begin to repay what is owed.

Ms Rollins said: "Anyone having sleepless nights, unable to afford the basics or worried about meeting their rent or mortgage should call us, or one of the other good free debt agencies, and see how we can help."

As I see it, Sir Peter Soulsby has decided to close Western Park golf course – full stop (Mercury, January 5)!

Sir Peter has said there is no plan for the golf course land after closure, although he has admitted there could be development on some parts of it.

Does this mean that he has already made plans to build on it, selling it off to some hard-up building company for £1?

The matter was due to be debated at the next full council later this month as well as at a scrutiny committee.

I think a better idea would be to have the meeting after the general election in May. We may then have a different government in power. Even a new city mayor – one who will listen to the people who elected him/her.

One who can find millions of pounds at the drop of a hat for silly schemes such as bus lanes and cycle lanes that only cause congestion and pollution and yet talks of not being able to afford £123,000 a year to subsidise an open green space which helps to provide fresh air and health to the city as a whole, certainly has the wrong priorities.

I'm sure with proper management, both these golf courses would manage without a subsidy – even make a profit.

G A Wright, Leicester.

Some are instantly familiar, others are a little obscure but all have been acknowledged as assets to the city of Leicester.

The city council's latest heritage asset register contains 385 entries – historical, architectural or archaeological.

They include homes and factories, churches and statues, parks and bridges and many other landmarks of local significance.

The selection does not meet the strict national criteria for listed and protected status, but is still important to the city.

This year's list features more than 140 additions, including the remains of the church and main cloister of the Franciscan friary where Richard III's remains were found, the mile-long Glenfield railway tunnel built by George Stephenson in 1839 and the 1960s Lee Circle car park building which was the first automated multi-storey car park in Europe.

The list is used by planners when determining whether developments might harm the historic fabric of the city but a presence on it does not necessarily protect the feature.

The Georgian Empire Hotel, in Fosse Road North, appears on the list despite the council's planning committee recently approving its demolition and replacement with a Lidl.

The same is true of St Luke's Chapel, at Leicester Royal Infirmary, which will be flattened to make way for the new accident and emergency department.

Mayor Sir Peter Soulsby said: "The list is a way of recognising the buildings, places and local landmarks that are important to people in Leicester.

"While inclusion on the list may not offer the same protection as listed status, it forces developers and planners to take into account the local significance of these buildings and landmarks.

"Including polarising examples such as the Lee Circle car park is bound to fuel controversy and debate, and that's part of the value of the list.

"It helps ensure Leicester's architectural gems and other historically significant landmarks are not forgotten."

Members of the public nominated more than 460 landmarks which they felt should be included on the list.

Suggestions were considered by a panel including council heritage champion Adam Clark, local historian and chairman of the conservation advisory panel Richard Gill and Nils Feldmann, from Leicestershire and Rutland Society of Architects.

A man was taken to hospital after two lorries and two cars crashed this morning in Leicestershire, near its border with Northamptonshire. 

The man, in his 50s, was trapped in a vehicle and had to be rescued by firefighters before being taken to hospital.

The accident happened shortly after 7am this morning on the A14 only half a mile from the M1 and M6 junction, the Catthorpe Interchange.

One fire crew from Lutterworth and two from Northamptonshire attended the accident.

One lane of the A14 was closed while emergency services dealt with the accident.

The road was fully re-opened by 9.30am.

I see that the city council is proposing to spend in the region of £900,000 on outdoor gym equipment, while also intending to close one of the city's golf courses because they cannot afford to run it (Mercury, January 17).

How can anybody in their right minds think that this is justifiable?

From what I have seen of outdoor gym equipment it is very rarely used and only serves as a focus for vandalism.

If used at all there are only a very limited number of people that would benefit.

Usually when people go to the gym to work out they are supervised by a trained professional to ensure that they do not injure themselves or overtax themselves.

Does the council propose providing each site with a supervisor or are they happy to pay out compensation to the people that hurt themselves because they do not know how to use the equipment correctly?

If the council only invested a small part of the money that they have set aside for the gym equipment in Western Park golf club then it could be made into a paying proposition.

It is already a good golf course that caters for the needs of young and old alike.

Golf is no longer a game only for the bankers and doctors among us, but with the aid of the council and municipal golf courses, it is open to everyone from whatever walk of life.

A law introducing plain cigarette packaging in England and Wales may come into force next year.

Ministers have said that MPs will be asked to vote on the proposals before May's general election.

Doctors say the move would save lives - and Public Health Minister Jane Ellison has said it will have a positive effect on public health.

If Parliament passed the legislation it could come into force as soon as 2016.

Labour has said it will ban images on cigarette packaging if it wins in May's election.

Leicestershire County Council's cabinet member for health, Ernie White, said: "I welcome the news that MPs will vote on the issue of plain packaging for cigarettes, before the General Election.

"The professional opinion is overwhelmingly in favour of plain packaging, to help to reduce the number of people smoking. We must consider moves like this if we are to avoid the serious disease and death caused by smoking, plus the massive burden it places on the NHS."

But what do you think? Tell us if you think plain packaging should be introduced in our poll at the bottom right of this story.

Leicester City are said to be interested in Nottingham Forest winger Michail Antonio, according to The Sun.

The 24-year-old, who Forest signed from Sheffield Wednesday in a £1.5 million deal in August, has already been the subject of an approach from West Bromwich Albion.

Forest have rejected Albion's bid, which was described as 'derisory',

City are now said to be interested, along with Hull City, and The Sun says he is valued at £3 million.

Forest are said to be determined to hang on to Antonio, especially as they are under a transfer embargo and would not be able to replace him, even if they accepted a big money offer.

Harborough's UKIP parliamentary candidate says party leader Nigel Farage is wrong to oppose a planned law to make cigarette packaging plain.

Mr Farage has described the proposed legislation as "a deliberate and nonsensical imposition on a market worth around £12 billion to the Treasury, and which keeps around 66,000 people in jobs."

However Clive Langley, who is standing in the General Election in Harborough, said: "Nigel's just wrong on this. We should be doing everything we can to make cigarettes as expensive and as unfashionable as possible."

Mr Langley is himself a former smoker who has undergone surgery after being diagnosed with kidney cancer.

He said: "I smoked 40 a day for eight years before I gave up in 1980.

"I lost my dad to lung cancer."

Mr Langley said: "I saw Nigel at a retirement do for (former MEP) Derek Clark not long ago

"He was fag in hand and I said to him "You ought to knock that on the head."

"He shot me a really filthy look.

"We just strongly disagree on this."

MPs could vote on the legislation before May's election and it could come into force in England next year.

A teenage model is hoping get her big break after becoming a finalist in the Top Model UK 2015 competition.

Sorcha Newby, 19, of Syston, realised she had potential in the world of modelling after she won the very first beauty pageant she entered.

And since becoming Miss Rutland 2012 she has had plenty of modelling work in magazines and on the catwalk.

But the Top Model contest, which takes place in London on March 13, will be her chance to get her name known in the world of high-end fashion.

She said: "My dream is to be on the catwalk at London Fashion Week and this competition is a brilliant opportunity - there will be lots of people from the industry there who will see me in the final, which will be like a live fashion show.

"Designers are coming from all over."

Sorcha, who also works in the finance department at Leicestershire County Council, was invited to the auditions for the competition, which took place in November in London.

She said: "After I was invited I did some research and realised what a big competition it was.

"When I went to London there were lots of us - about 60 on the day I went - and we had to model lots of clothes on the catwalk with photographers taking pictures of us.

"Then I was one of the 25 who made it through to the final."

Speaking about how she got started, Sorcha said: "Miss Rutland was the first pageant I'd ever entered and I won it.

"I was like, 'What?' And it's all gone on from there."

After winning Miss Rutland, Sorcha entered another pageant held at Champneys Spa, near Ashby, and was named Miss Champneys.

That earned her a place in the final of the Miss England beauty contest later that year in Leicester.

She said: "Since then I've been doing quite a lot of Asian bridal work, which is brilliant - getting to dress up in wedding dresses and pretend to get married all the time!

"It's a dream job but what I'd really love to do is high-end fashion so in March I'm going to be in it to win it."

After months of fundraising and preparation, charity Legs4Africa is sending 1,000 more prosthetic limbs to needy people in West Africa.

The charity was started by Tom Williams, who travelled to Gambia in 2011 and was inspired to send a custom-made leg to an amputee he had met out there.

He learned that thousands of plastic limbs are disposed of every year in the UK because the law requires them to be treated as a biohazard.

But in Africa the hospitals are desperate for prosthetics and each one can make a life-changing difference.

Last year a minibus containing 500 legs was sent out to Gambia and tomorrow(SAT) another consignment will be shipped out to Gambia and Senegal, where mobility units have patients who have lost limbs due to diabetes, road accidents, and war.

The African specialists Legs4Africa is working with have the expertise to convert the limbs for patients who would otherwise have to pay well over their national average annual salary for a new prosthetic leg.

Tom said: "It is an immensely personal and rewarding feeling to offer someone the independence that comes with a prosthetic leg, especially when they would just be scrapped in the UK."

Tom, of Arnesby, also runs digital media firm TourVista and Legs4Africa, which officially became a charity last year, is run completely by volunteers.

They work throughout the year finding hospitals with stockpiles of old limbs while also raising the cash needed to send the limbs by ship to Africa.

He said: "This time, to fund the shipping and transport, we've just enjoyed a successful campaign and raised £2,000.

"The cargo will leave England tomorrow and arrive in Gambia in mid-February."

Dr Gabu, the head of prosthesis in Gambia, said: "Before Legs4Africa, we were receiving about 20 legs from abroad a year.

"Most of the legs we worked on came from deceased Gambian amputees.

"But now we can really help the country's disabled."

Throughout 2015 Legs4Africa expects to collect around 2,000 legs.

Local companies have been helping Legs4Africa with the big job of getting artificial limbs from hospitals and to the seaports ready to sail to Africa.

Croft builder Adrian Dale provides pallets, former Dragon's Den star Hilary Devey's Ellistown company Pall-ex helps with transport, DS Smith in Hinckley provides packaging; and Ground Qube, a landscaping company in Leicester, helps the charity transport and man power.

A man has been disqualified from driving and fined after he performed a U-turn in a tunnel.

Anthony Nganga (39), of Humberstone Gate, Leicester, was given a 15 week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, disqualified from driving and was ordered to pay £370 after pleading guilty to dangerous driving.

Nganga had been driving through the Tyne Tunnel, which goes under the River Tyne between North Shields and Jarrow, when he performed a U-turn and starting driving the wrong way.

The vehicle was stopped by tunnel officers and the incident reported to Northumbria Police.

Nganga appeared in Leicester Magistrates Court soon after, on December 19, 2014.

Stuart Sutton, Operations Manager at TT2 Limited, operator of Tyne Tunnels, said: "Actions such as those of Anthony Nganga put other motorists at risk of injury, or worse, and that is something we cannot and will not tolerate.

"This incident was picked up instantly by our officers, who constantly monitor the full length of both tunnels, and a team was dispatched to stop the vehicle in question. We then worked with Northumbria Police to help them to bring their successful prosecution.

"The judgement of the court shows that the seriousness with which TT2 and Northumbria Police take such actions is reflected by the wider legal system and we hope this sends a strong message to motorists about the importance of safe and sensible driving."

Chief Inspector John Heckles, of Northumbria Police's Road Safety Unit said they do not tolerate dangerous driving and reckless drivers.

"We work together with partners to ensure action is taken on those who do cause danger to others on our roads.

"The safety of the public is our priority and this man's actions seriously jeopardised the safety of other drivers, staff at the Tyne Tunnel and himself.

"Luckily, on this occasion, no one has been injured however this could have been a very different matter."

Some £470,000 could be spent renovating eight poor quality Leicester playgrounds.

The city council has earmarked the cash for improvements at deteriorating sites it says are either poorly maintained or have limited equipment for youngsters.

Uppingham Road Gardens is likely to be one of the first play areas to be refurbished.

Two new play zones, each aimed at a different age group, will be created.

All the existing 21-year-old play equipment will be replaced and access for disabled children and adults will also be improved.

Play areas at Western Park, Cossington Street and Fosse Recreation Ground will all get an improved range of new play equipment as well as utdoor gyms as previously reported by the Mercury

The play area at Onslow Street will be completely refurbished with new equipment, improved lighting and refreshed planting along with the playgrounds at Ryder Road and Monks Rest Gardens will be revamped.

The junior play area at Victoria Park will also be improved.

Assistant city mayor for culture, heritage, leisure and sport councillor Piara Singh Clair said: "While the council works hard to maintain its play areas, over time equipment becomes dated or needs to be removed for safety reasons.

"It is important we continue to invest in outdoor play by ensuring neighbourhood parks have equipment that appeals to children and young people, and helps encourage them to take part in fun, physical activity.

"In recent years, many play areas across the city have been improved thanks to the hard work of Friends groups who have helped attract significant funding.

"Where play areas can't attract that sort of external funding, its right that the council invests to ensure that these areas continue to offer excellent play value in safe and attractive settings."

The improvement programme is due to begin in late spring and is expected to be complete by January 2016.

The council has committed £400,000 to the work and hopes to get £70,000 of external cash. 

A Leicestershire couple's 33-year labour of love creating their green garden will feature on a network TV show tonight.

Graham and Jenny Cousins, of Walton, near Lutterworth, will appear on Sky One's Show Me Your Garden, a six-part series visiting gardens in England, Scotland and Ireland.

In tonight's programme, the fourth in the series, featuring Midlands gardens, Graham, 80 and 76-year-old Jenny take the cameras around their one-and-a-quarter-acre garden which includes two "micro-meadows" with wild cornflower plants, an old small orchard and lots of trees providing shady areas.

Graham said: "My aim was to put the case for a kind of garden which is a place of greenery, a place populated by natural, normal, simple but beautiful flowers, a place of light and shade, a place that celebrates the passage of the seasons, a place that evokes or perhaps echoes natural landscapes, a place of restraint.

"This is evidently an ' alternative' type of garden, since the great majority of gardeners, and indeed the public in general, would prefer to have non-stop 'colour' in their gardens and do everything they can to achieve this ideal, no matter how far it removes their gardens from natural forms and normal patterns of growth."

The couple, who maintain the garden themselves, apart from a once-a-month visit by a gardener, also visited the two other gardens, in Stechford, Birmingham, and Belper, in Derbyshire.

Each garden's owners then vote on which is their favourite to be this episode's winner.

Graham added: "A friend recommended our garden to Sky and they came and filmed over five or six days in August. There is no presenter but the programmes are narrated by Alison Steadman.

"We mostly enjoyed it, but I was surprised how intensive it was. Some days we were filming for 13 hours. We spent a day in each of the other gardens and they came to us.We then had to pick our favourite garden."

The couple are opening their garden as part of the National Gardens Scheme gardens open for charity event on June 7 and 10 when money will be raised for Macmillan Cancer Support and other charities.

To see how Graham and Jenny got on tune in to Sky One at 8pm tomorrow for Show Me Your Garden.

Graham has also created a website to promote his love of green gardens.

The weekend's set to be another chilly one, but it's the end of January and we're bored of hiding in our homes with our heating on full blast.

Fancy it?

To help you out, here's our list of pubs in Leicestershire that are recorded as having an open fire, on the InAPub.com website.

It's a very chilly sub-zero start to the day for many, bright, but frosty.

Winds though will increase to bring cloud and perhaps a little rain later in the afternoon.

Temperatures will generally rise to give a somewhat milder, if breezier end to the day

Tonight, rain may become briefly heavy during the evening before drier, clearer and colder conditions follow from the northwest with a risk of frost and icy patches following.

Staring from around -2C the day will see a top temperature of 4C.
