Paula Radcliffe: The damage to my body
Colin Murray
BBC Radio 5 live
I've travelled to the south of France to visit the home of the three-time winner of the women's London Marathon, women’s marathon world record holder and former BBC Sports Personality of the Year - Bedford's very own Paula Radcliffe.
She revealed to me she tore her colon during her
world-record breaking marathon run in 2002.
She
also discusses the long term damage that running has caused to her body, and
her very high pain threshold.
Wycombe District Council has been allocated £500,000 to turn contaminated land at Bassetsbury allotments into housing.
Campaigners near the site have previously had pleas to turn it into a visitors centre and heritage site rejected.
Elsewhere, Luton's Taylor Street will receive £855,000 and land in Stevenage around Kenilworth Close, Burwell Road and Gresley Way will get £900,000.
Shefford Town & Campton FC 'devastated' by vandalism
Alex Pope
BBC Local Live
A football clubhouse, which was renovated and refurbished by volunteers three years ago, has been vandalised.
Sean Moore from the club said: "All the light fittings are broken, graffiti drawn on the walls and the showers pulled off the walls.
"For someone to go in and vandalise it as they have is shocking.
"Everyone is devastated. It's going to cost a lot of time, effort and money to put right."

Rising car use and cuts to public funding are being blamed for a loss of 134 million journey miles over the past decade alone.
In England, the scale of the bus network has fallen to levels last seen in 1991, even though passenger numbers are now 8% higher than they were then.
The figures show big regional variations, with Central Bedfordshire the second worst area for the number of bus journey miles lost over four years, although neighbouring Bedford, Luton, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire have gained miles.
