Gloucestershire Live reported on concerns that Gloucestershire Constabulary is paying its chief constable more than £150,000 while he continues his national work on the National Police Chiefs' Council. This comes as the police force faces a £12.3m funding gap.

And a single mum has become the first female fire fighter in Winscombe for more than 30 years, reports the Weston Mercury. She told them that she wanted to show her children that "anything is possible".

Gloucestershire Live ran an article on discord in the county over plans to potentially split it into two new unitary authorities.
