Trouble in Countesthorpe, Fracking & Ecotricity

Start your day with the latest news and updates, with Jim and Jo at breakfast.

There's been a massive rise in the number of reports of anti-social behaviour in a part of rural Leicestershire. Together with the Police, Blaby District Council says that between 2014 and 2015, it received 110 complaints in Countesthorpe.

Yesterday, North Yorkshire County Council voted to allow Third Energy to start fracking there. But could if affect our City and two Counties?

Now, drive around Leicestershire you'll now be able to spot a fair few signs of the efforts here to create renewable energy. But plans have now been approved to create something called a 'Hybrid Energy Park'.
