Dentists claim extra regulation will reduce time with patients and increase costs. Government plans to reduce fuel duty in remote areas. And, the 1870s high street.

Dentists claim having to register with a new regulator will reduce time with patients and increase costs for private treatment. That regulator, the Care Quality Commission, says patients will get more information about how good their dentist is. Winifred Robinson asks whether government plans to reduce fuel duty in remote areas will ever become a reality. We investigate the housing quango which only dealt with a dozen cases last year, and which now faces the axe. Plus, a walk down the 1870s high street.
