Villagers have branded a villa in Cornwall "Hitler's bunker". Residents in Mousehole have complained the £350,000 building, which is known as The Fallen Angel, is out of keeping with its picturesque surroundings. The glass-fronted home is available to stay in for £2,500 a week but neighbours say it looks "like Hitler's bunker or a WW2 bomb shelter" because of its "rubber-roof". The number of second homes being left vacant during the winter months has already caused tension in the area.

A vicar has blamed an "awkward" new cycle lane for causing an exodus among the elderly congregation at his church. The Rev David Murray said the number of attendees fell from 100 to 60 after a road was blocked off near St Margaret's Church in Altrincham, Greater Manchester. His elderly congregation were "getting lost" after the cycle lane was introduced, which hindered access to the car park and forced some drivers to travel an extra half a mile to reach the site.
