Police are hunting for the arsonist who set fire to a large area of land in North Staffordshire.
Emergency services were called to land off Park Lane, in Cheadle, at around 5.45pm yesterday after reports of large fire.
Exclusive: Racecourse, church and theatre proposed for council meetings
A church, a theatre, a racecourse and a school hall have all been put forward as potential new venues to accommodate large numbers of councillors for socially distanced meetings when councils are set to return to face-to-face meetings next month.
Councils are being pushed into considering drastic measures in order to ensure they can hold meetings that adhere to social distancing guidelines while also enabling all their councillors to attend. In some cases, specialist sound equipment is being sought to make sure members can be heard in large scale venues that were not designed for such occasions.
