Stanley

Officers were called to the incident involving a taxi and a motorbike in Park Road in Stanley yesterday

Record-breaking siblings Maureen and Jack Batey weighed in at 10 pounds and 10-and-a-half pounds when they were born - twice the average weight of twins.

Firefighters spent the night tackling the blaze at Greenland Infant School, in South Moor, which has not been used for several years.
