A former police officer who was fired for “inappropriately” detaining a teenage boy is appealing against his dismissal and claimed he has been made to feel like an “abuser”. Lorne Castle, 46, was dismissed by Dorset police after a three-day misconduct hearing found he had committed gross misconduct in relation to the arrest of a 15-year-old boy in Bournemouth town centre on January 27, 2024.

The National Trust has removed an artwork featuring JK Rowling’s name after it was tampered with by a member of the public. Hardwick Hall, in Derbyshire, invited visitors to nominate a “contemporary virtuous woman” whose name was then sewn onto a textile display between April and November in 2024. The artwork, named A Virtuous Woman, has been on display since February this year. It features the author’s name, which had been “stitched over by other participants” at an unspecified time.

A previously underworked speed camera has generated £1.6 million in fines after the council lowered the speed limit by 10mph. The camera, on Ringwood Road in Bournemouth, Dorset, was bringing in £3,600 a year when the speed limit was 40mph. In the first full year since the limit was reduced to 30mph the camera activated 11,594 times — a 36,000 per cent increase. By comparison, the camera recorded 32 speeding offences in 2022, 55 in 2021 and 39 in 2020. So far this year it has flashed 3,054 times.
