Lack of smaller homes makes 'tax' laughable

W FEARN of Duffield is right to say powers-that-be should be offering tenants smaller accommodation and only charging bedroom tax if they refuse the offer ("Bedroom tax – only if tenants refuse to move," April 28).

However, the smaller home should not be way out of the area, forcing people to leave family and friends and neighbours.

The reason tenants aren't offered one- or two-bedroomed properties is that there is an acute shortage.

Ministers know this only too well, and using the excuse that the scheme was brought in to free up larger council properties for the many people on long waiting lists is laughable.

It was brought in to reduce housing benefit and to say that under Labour, all tenants in private rented accommodation had to pay this tax is not strictly correct. Private tenants who received housing benefit only had to pay the tax if they moved into a bigger property with a spare bedroom.

The lack of smaller council properties will force some people into renting private accommodation, costing more and making the "spare room subsidy" counterproductive. It might even make the bringing back of rent controls an attractive proposition.

THREE men have been arrested in Derby in relation to an investigation over international charity fraud. They were arrested after warrants were released by Kent police. The men, all from Derby, are aged 42, 41 and 39 and are being questioned by police in the city. The ongoing investigation follows a seizure of cash at the Port of Dover on December 23, 2012. Nine men previously arrested in March 2014 remain on bail until September 2014. Detective chief superintendent Chris Hogben, of Kent Police, said: "We have now arrested 12 men across the country as part of an ongoing investigation into the alleged fraudulent use of funds from four UK-based charities. "Our investigation aims to ensure funds given by the public reach their intended destination and are not used in connection with criminal activity. "It is imperative that the public has confidence in the charities they support and in the money they are donating being used for the purpose it is intended. "We are working with our partners around the country and want to hear from anyone who has information relating to the fraudulent use of charity funds." Anyone who has information should call Kent Police's dedicated hotline on 07964 132889.

Derby 'bedroom tax' mum Renleigh Anderson to contest threat in court

A young mum who has become the first person in Derby to be threatened with eviction because of the so-called bedroom tax is contesting the order in court.

Renleigh Anderson, 28, has seen her housing benefits cut by £12 a week because, under Government rules, she is allegedly under-occupying a three-bedroom house in Sinfin.

Her son is seven and her daughter three, which means she falls foul of the rule that children aged under 10 should share a bedroom.

She says she does not have the cash to plug the hole in her finances caused by the charge, so she is now in rental arrears.

This has lead to the eviction threat from Derby Homes, on behalf of Derby City Council.

Yesterday it was confirmed at Derby County Court that Miss Anderson would be given a full hearing before any decision to repossess the home is made. This will take place in the weeks after July 15.

Miss Anderson said: "I think the judge was fantastic and has given me a chance for a fair hearing. Once my points are made I hope they'll see that what is happening isn't kosher."

The Government has said the benefits change, which it calls the "removal of the spare-room-subsidy", is aimed at encouraging people to downsize and free up empty bedrooms, as well as tackling the nation's huge benefits bill.

Derby County are ready, willing and able to fulfil destiny in play-offs

IN our play-off supplement, chief football writer Steve Nicholson analyses a fine season for Derby County and believes they are capable of going back to the Premier League. ON the morning of Tuesday, October 1, the back page headline in the Derby Telegraph read: "Mac arrives with sights on play-offs for Rams".Steve McClaren had been installed as Derby County's new head coach to replace Nigel Clough, who had been shown the door only hours after a defeat by Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. A whirlwind few days had whipped up emotion and supporters peered through the settling dust at a new path ahead. Chief executive Sam Rush had talked about the play-offs and McClaren echoed the rallying call, saying: "Ultimately, we have to be challenging for the play-offs, at least. That has to be the target." The play-offs, however, looked a distant dream at around 8.30pm that Tuesday evening. McClaren and his backroom staff of Paul Simpson and Eric Steele were welcomed by the fans, who then watched Derby crumble in the first half of the home game against Ipswich Town. To be trailing 4-1 at the break of what was seen as a new dawn was not in the script. McClaren left his seat in the directors' box and went down to the dressing room. After a few words of wisdom from him and one or two tweaks to the formation, Derby roared back in the second half to draw 4-4. Finishing the game on the front foot and on a high was hugely significant. A pivotal moment. The players rode the wave into the next two games against Leeds United and Watford, both of which were won, and the McClaren reign was up and running. A season contains many turning points. The second half against Ipswich was one and others followed in those first couple of months or so – Conor Sammon's late winner at Watford and moments of good fortune in back-to-back home victories over Middlesbrough and Blackpool. Derby took full advantage. A magnificent seven consecutive wins within an unbeaten nine-match run lifted them into the top six, where they have resided for the past five months. Late winning goals against Brighton, Yeovil Town and Sheffield Wednesday strengthened the feeling that this could be Derby's season. The win against Brighton was a big moment because it followed the mauling by Leicester City at the King Power Stadium and the Rams could not have left it much later to see off Yeovil. Chris Martin's header flashed into the net five minutes into added time. There was still a slightly concerning, slightly gung-ho approach to Derby's play. This was never more evident than in the game against Birmingham City at St Andrew's, when they squandered a 3-1 lead in the final 12 minutes. What followed was a marked improvement in Derby's defending as a team, from front to back. Four games without a win and a goal during a tough programme of fixtures in March appeared to dent belief. So, the 5-0 drubbing of Nottingham Forest was another significant moment. Routing their rivals injected confidence for the run-in. Derby have played some eye-catching football and scored many fine goals this season. They have also improved defensively, both as a back-four unit and as a team. Another of their strengths has been the manner in which they recovered from setbacks and defeats, highlighting their durability and determination. In the 46 League games, they never suffered more than two consecutive defeats. They possess all the ingredients to tackle the play-offs. Their fresh, high-tempo, progressive style of football gives them as good a chance of promotion as any of the other three sides. This is the club's best squad in years and is the result of three notable collective forays into the transfer market. Skipper Richard Keogh, Jake Buxton, Craig Bryson, Jamie Ward, Will Hughes and Jeff Hendrick had already been bedded in before Derby enjoyed their most productive summer of business since 2006 and 2004. They signed Chris Martin, Lee Grant, Johnny Russell, Craig Forsyth and John Eustace ahead of this season. The value of their contributions needs no further explanation. The third key foray came in the shape of loan signings Andre Wisdom, Simon Dawkins, Patrick Bamford and George Thorne. Wisdom has filled the right-back slot, a problem position following the departure of John Brayford to Cardiff City. Dawkins and Bamford increased the attacking threat and amount of goals from the wide areas and Thorne has been excellent in the holding role in midfield since stepping in for Eustace, whose experience has been invaluable. McClaren spotted the need for those loan signings and the head coach has barely put a foot wrong in his seven months in charge. Maybe more should have been done to rein in Derby's gung-ho approach in those costly final few minutes at Birmingham in February. You could also question his midfield selection in the home defeat by Millwall in March, when either Eustace or Thorne should have played. But McClaren has done an excellent job. He hit all the right notes in those raw early weeks following Clough's sacking. He talked about the past, the good times he was involved in at Derby in the 80s and 90s, throwing in the names of Igor Stimac, Aljosa Asanovic and Paulo Wanchope to set fans reminiscing. He talked about the present and the "good" team he had inherited, a team he said was full of "energy and attitude". He acknowledged fully the job Clough did. And McClaren talked about the future, outlining plans to build on the foundations already laid and the burning desire of himself, Paul Simpson and Eric Steele to put a team on the pitch that excites the fans. There were no sweeping changes, no unnecessary disturbing of what was a stable situation. Some of Derby's football in the first two months of the season had earned deserved plaudits. A 4-4-2 formation had not been seen since the first half of the opening fixture against Blackburn Rovers and Martin, Bryson, Hughes, Russell and Buxton had already shown good form. Failure to win at home in the League cost Clough, although two of the three defeats came against Leicester City and Burnley. Both will be playing Premier League football next season. The other defeat was against Reading. Derby were edging forward under Clough. Twelfth place in 2011-12 became 10th last season, when the gap between the Rams and a top-six finish was only seven points, and it was not difficult to see where those points slipped away. The club was on its knees when Clough took charge in 2009. His work in shovelling the mess was appreciated by many but not everybody, although the evidence is there to be seen in the current team. The Derby side was not broken but needed tweaking in certain areas in order to become genuine top-six contenders. McClaren set about the tweaking. His influence is there to see, his work on the training ground evident. Derby needed to be less vulnerable when not in possession, they needed a more disciplined shape to fall back on when the opposition had the ball. Eustace (four starts in the first nine League games) became a regular starter and the wide players, so bright going forward, also had to display an appetite to defend. One without the other is not enough in today's fast-moving game otherwise full-backs are exposed, as Craig Forsyth was in the defeat at QPR in November. All the time, McClaren kept expectation in check. Talk of a top-six finish or a top-two finish and possible promotion was played in the style of an opening batsman determined to see off a hostile bowling attack. "Ask me when there are 10 games to go" then became "ask me when there are five games to go". He refused to talk about the table. But that same table had shown since December that Derby were genuine and strong contenders. It soon became apparent that they were never likely to relinquish their position, given their form – and the inconsistency of other teams. Now attention turns to the play-offs. As in 2004-05 and 2006-07, Derby have had a wonderful season no matter what happens in the next two or three games.

Joseph Wright paintings on show for first time at Derby gallery

A NEW exhibition about world-renowned Derby artistJoseph Wright will aim to show how a "difficult" period in his career set him up for further success.

The critically acclaimed display, called Joseph Wright of Derby: Bath and Beyond, will take place at Derby's Museum and Art Gallery in The Strand from May 24 to August 31.

It will give fans of the 18th-century artist the chance to see two Wright paintings from other collections – Vesuvius In Eruption and the Annual Girandola At The Castel Sant'Angelo –in his home city for the first time.

The first major Wright exhibition held at the museum for years will examine his time working in Bath from 1775 to 1777 and compare paintings from before, during and after to show the effect his 18-month stay had on his work.

Experts had considered his time in Somerset to be a professional low point, marred by his failure to win enough commissions for portraits, leading him to pack up his paintbrushes and head back to Derby after just 18 months. But now Amina Wright, curator of the Holburne Museum in Bath, which previously hosted the exhibition, is using his works to argue that his experience there was vital.

She says his lack of commissions meant he had time to experiment with new techniques and work on subjects he had studied during a previous two-year trip to Italy.

This led to him painting the Vesuvius and Annual Girandola – both combine his skill at capturing light with a new-found excellence in portraying detailed landscapes.

The paintings have been loaned to the exhibition by Tate Britain and the Walker Gallery in Liverpool respectively.

Lucy Bamford, senior curator of fine art at Derby museum, said: "We are thrilled to be hosting such a wonderful exhibition, which will give Derby audiences the opportunity to learn more about what has traditionally been regarded as a difficult period of Wright's life and view paintings that we don't often get to see.

"Wright was certainly deeply affected by what he experienced in Bath. No-one really knows for sure why it didn't work for him – he personally believed there was a conspiracy against him involving the other artists who lived there – but there is no doubt that it was a major staging point in his development as an artist.

"What makes this exhibition even more special is that visitors had to pay to see it while it was on in Bath, but we are putting it on for free as part of our ongoing commitment to ensure that anyone can come in and appreciate the work of Derby's genuine world-class artist."

The exhibition will be accompanied by a series of family-friendly activities, including a chance to dress up in costumes similar to those worn by some of the people whose portraits Wright painted and a two-mile walking tour around "Wright's Derby".

Born in Iron Gate, Derby, in September, 1734, Wright died, aged 62, in August 1797.

Lillie's colourful run for Derby Laura Centre that helped after loss of dad

A TEENAGER who lost her father to a heart attack eight years ago will be running for the charity that supported her after his death.

Lillie Stevens was 11 when her dad, Terence, died and, for years, she thought he had been killed in a car accident.

But, when she was about 15, she found out that – while her father had been in a car – he had died from a heart attack brought about by a blood disorder.

Lillie, now 18, said it also meant she needed numerous blood tests because the disorder was hereditary.

She found the news difficult to deal with but, last year, her mother discovered the Laura Centre – a charity which provides counselling for bereaved parents and children.

Lillie, of Allestree, said support from the charity turned around her life and she is now taking part in its Colour Blast Dash, at Darley Park on Sunday to raise money.

She said: "The news about how my dad had died brought it back from when I was 11. A year ago, I just couldn't talk about it.

"We found the Laura Centre, although I found the first two sessions hard because I didn't like talking to a stranger. But I knew my mum wanted me to get better, so I really tried to get involved. It did turn my life around.

"I realised I shouldn't feel what happened to my dad was a burden but actually a part of my life and that has helped me move on.

"I've also been able to talk about my experiences and the Laura Centre in school assemblies and I think that has helped others, too."

There is a Laura Centre in Leicester but, in 2011, the charity launched a £150,000 appeal to create another one in Derby.

It has two counsellors based at the Royal Derby Hospital. These help grieving parents.

But it still needs to raise £100,000 to offer counselling to children and to move into its own premises.

Because the charity is working with Derby County Football Club for the Colour Blast Dash, the Rams' chosen charity – the air ambulance – will also benefit.

Runners taking part should wear white and be prepared to be splashed with coloured powder paint on the 5km or 2.5km course

Lillie, of Crabtree Close, said: "I am taking part with 17 of my friends. I've watched video of a previous event – and it looks like a lot of fun.

"I've told my friends I'll buy a pint for whoever finishes covered in the most paint."

For more information about the Colour Blast Dash, or to register, call 0116 254 4341 or visit www.colour blastdash.org.

People who use the discount code DTELE10 will receive a 10% discount on their entry fee.

City of Derby's Adam Peaty and Danielle Lowe and Ripley's Molly Renshaw selected for England Commonwealth games swimming team

CITY of Derby swimmers Adam Peaty and Danielle Lowe will be heading to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow this summer.

The pair have been included in the England team for the Games, which start in July.

And they will be joined by Ripley's Molly Renshaw, who has been spared the heartache she endured when she missed out on a place in the Great Britain team for the London Olympics two years ago.

Peaty's inclusion comes as no surprise. The Uttoxeter star was in brilliant form last month at the British Gas Championships, held at the Tollcross pool where this summer's main event will be staged.

The 19-year-old produced a string of outstanding performances, claiming a gold and two silver medals.

The first silver came in the 200m breaststroke, in which he was beaten only Scotland's Michael Jamieson, and another Scot, Ross Murdoch, edged him out of top slot in the 100m breaststroke. Peaty gained a measure of revenge by landing the 50m title.

Lowe, who trains with Peaty under head coach Mel Marshall at the Derby club, also performed well at the British Championships, particularly in the individual medley events.

Originally from Bebington on the Wirral, the 19-year-old has moved to Derby where she will start her university studies in September.

Renshaw's selection comes as a pleasant 18th birthday present.

She failed to make the official qualifying time for the 200m breaststroke last month but her performances were sufficiently impressive to persuade England selectors that she was worthy of a slot in the team.

There is no place in the squad for University of Derby student Jack Burnell, who finished third in the trials, outside the qualifying time.

Time off with stress has soared at ambulance service

THE number of frontline ambulance service workers taking time off work with stress has soared. In the past five years, figures have more than trebled, with the number of reported cases rising from 61 to 217. Last year, 48,156 working days were lost due to medical staff being unable to report for duty. One of the service's latest board reports highlights sickness as an "area of concern" – with rates across all staff exceeding six per cent for the past three recorded months. Bosses at East Midlands Ambulance Service said the figures were down to increased strain in the job but also staff feeling more comfortable about reporting stress-related illnesses. A former paramedic and manager at EMAS, who did not want to be named but worked for the service for more than 15 years, said frontline staff coming into the job now would be lucky not to be burned out by stress within ten years. He said: "It's more stressful than working in the police or the fire service. Someone will go to a child death, which is awful, and from there they can immediately go to another. But anyone would go to pieces after that job. That's made irrelevant if the targets need to be hit." He added: "The morale of the staff can be measured by sickness levels. It is low. "The volume of calls has gone up, as has the pressure." In October, the service was called to a risk summit by concerned local health chiefs and ordered to improve. It has since hired more frontline staff and, despite missing targets for responding to the most serious calls for six months in a row, figures for March were more positive. The service responded to category Red1 and Red2 calls – which include heart attacks and strokes, within eight minutes – 73.95 per cent and 74.92 per cent of the time, just outside the target 75 per cent. Dave Winter, the service's assistant operations director and Nottingham representative, said: "We are working with Unison. One of the things around stress-related sickness is a cultural thing. A few years ago, staff wouldn't go sick with stress because they felt it was a slight on their ability. "We recognise stress and post-traumatic stress disorder and we have better mechanisms in place. We have counselling services in place. "The fact that we recognise and support it better makes it easier to report it." He added: "The demands of the job have got greater. There is a great deal of stress on any of our staff. "We do want to get the numbers down. In Nottingham, the sickness has come down from 11 per cent to five per cent in the last few years. We do support people better and encourage phased returns."

RAIDERS targeted three Derby newsagents in the same day. Burglars smashed through the roof at Breadsall News, in Scarborough Rise, Breadsall Hilltop, and Central News, in London Road, between 12.30am and 1.30am yesterday. The alarm was triggered at Breadsall News forcing the thieves o leave empty-handed but they disabled the alarm at Central News and got in through the roof. Cigarettes and cash were taken from the London Road store. Then at 7.30pm last night a black Mazda car pulled in at the back of Rowditch Off-Licence and News, in Uttoxeter New Road. Two men wearing balaclavas got out and tried to force open a metal shutter with crowbars. They were caught on CCTV and left without managing to get in the store. Police say they are investigating links between all three incidents. Anyone with information should call 101.
