People who fall victim to cardiac arrests have a better chance of survival – thanks to a new network of defibrillators installed across Erewash by the borough council.

Derbyshire Police officers are appealing for help from the public to locate immediate relatives of a man who died in West Hallam.

Derbyshire Police have used the arrival of the Tour of Britain road race in the county to remind both motorists and cyclists of the rules of the road.
