A man who has had parts of his car stolen twice at the same park and ride has called for increased security at the site.

Richard Malloy, from Wheatley, uses Thornhill Park and Ride to get into Oxford for work but has had two catalytic converters stolen in five years.

"With the congestion charge and people not able to drive into the city you should be able to feel you can leave your car there and come back to it without it being damaged," he told the BBC.

Thames Valley Police said it was investigating the theft. Oxfordshire County Council said vehicles were parked at the owners' risk.

A seven-year-old boy has surpassed his latest goal of collecting 5,000 empty confectionery tubs, which he says he wants to prevent from going to landfill, by gathering more than double that amount.

Teddy from Netley, Hampshire, has collected 11,233 tubs, smashing his previous haul of more than 2,500 collected over the 2024 festive period.

He said he was surprised and overjoyed when the new total was revealed last Sunday, as columns of tubs and their lids towered around him at The Fleming Arms Pub in Southampton.

Teddy thanked his supporters and said his ultimate goal was "to stop plastic pollution completely".

A photographer has captured the aftermath of a cliff collapse, which she said appeared to have blocked access to "an iconic cave".

Siena Anderson, a professional photographer on the Isle of Wight, said she heard about the cliff fall at Freshwater Bay on social media.

She said she was "quite confident" the cave's entrance had been blocked by fallen debris and rocks.

Isle of Wight Council said it would assess whether the cliff fall impacted the beach and advised people to "stay away from cliff edges and walking directly under a cliff line".
