Horses on Housing Estates; The UK Bicycle Industry; Unlimited 3G

Shari Vahl looks at mobile phone customers with no 3G access, Billy the Horse, who is kept in a garden in Bradford, and the current state of the UK bicycle industry.

Some mobile phone customers are being misled into taking out contracts which leave them with no internet service. We investigate how some "unlimited" services and not what they seem.
The RSPCA is concerned about the health of horses kept in gardens on housing estates and is working with local communities to make sure they're being properly looked after.
Chances are if you owned a bike before the 1980s, it was a British made. The UK was once the innovation and manufacturing hub of the cycling world. But what's the current state of the industry?
If you drive an electric car in London you're probably having difficulties getting from one side of the capital to the other. Despite millions of pounds in government grants, we report on why nearly a third of charging points are faulty.
