A prominent Cotswolds' councillor has launched a scathing attack on government minister Eric Pickles over plans which could see 2,500 more homes built in one area of Cirencester in the next 18 years.

May asks new College to help restore consistency across Police Force boundaries

Theresa May, Home Secretary, says she believes in protecting the identities of suspects at point of arrest and has asked the newly-formed College of Policing to draw up clearer guidance. Her comments came after Warwickshire Police came under fire for initially refusing to name a retired police officer charged with theft. Lord Leveson's report did not make any substantive recommendations in relation to anonymity so May would like police forces to be aware of this fact.

The Home Secretary has also expressed concern that the refusal of some police forces to name suspects who have been charged undermines transparency in the criminal justice system and risks the possibility that witnesses and other victims might not come forward.
