00:02 A man has been arrested on suspicion of assault and firearms offences in the Brimmington area of

00:08 Chesterfield. The 54-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault and possession of a firearm

00:14 by armed officers in the Grove Road area just after 6.30pm last night, following a report of

00:19 a domestic incident in Brimmington on Saturday. A police spokesperson said that, while there had

00:25 been a significant police presence in the area, this was due to the circumstances of the alleged

00:30 crimes and there was no wider risk to the public. Work is due to begin this month on the building of

00:37 143 new homes at Maston Moor. The development, called Low Ridding, will be built on Bolsover

00:43 Road after Harron's Home North Midland bought 15 acres of land from the Devonshire Group.

00:48 As part of its planning application which was approved earlier this year,

00:52 Harron has committed to the inclusion of a selection of two and four-bedroomed affordable

00:56 homes. Two, three, four and five-bedroom homes will be built as part of the four-phase development

01:03 which will include children's play areas and formal recreation spaces.

01:06 The site will also include a construction skills hub provided by the Devonshire Group

01:12 which will become a practical base for training and provide work experience for future learners.

01:19 Beacons will shine across Derbyshire this week as part of commemorations to mark the 80th

01:23 anniversary of D-Day. Two beacons to commemorate the turning point of the Second World War

01:28 will be lit at Dromfield Single Fingham Park and Cright Stand on Thursday at 9.15pm.

01:34 Donald Rose, who lives in Ilkeston and is the UK's oldest D-Day veteran at 109 years old,

01:40 will also attend a special service at Derby Cathedral on Thursday at 5.15pm.
