  2. Arrest as boy hit by van is in serious condition

    Thirlkleby Close

    A 46-year-old man has been arrested after a child was struck by a van which left the scene in Slough.

    The crash, involving a white Ford Transit van and the eight-year-old pedestrian, happened in Thirkleby Close at about 17:30 GMT on Sunday.

    The boy suffered serious leg injuries and remains in a serious condition at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.

    Thames Valley Police said following the collision the van driver got out of the vehicle and took the child to an adult on the pavement before leaving the scene.

    The man from Slough was arrested on suspicion of failing to stop at the scene of an injury collision, driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence, driving with no insurance, and causing serious injury by dangerous driving.

    He remains in police custody, the force said.

    Police are appealing for witnesses who saw the collision.

  3. Windsor and Maidenhead to stay in lowest Covid tier

    The government has agreed to allow Windsor and Maidenhead to stay at "medium risk" and in the lowest tier.

    It comes a week after Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Council asked the ministers to consider moving into the "high-risk" tier two.

    Since then the number of positive Covid-19 cases across the borough has slowed in the last week.

    Leader of the council Andrew Johnson said: "We have requested to stay in tier one for now pending further review, to which the government has agreed.

    "However, our numbers are that we remain on the cusp of tier two and all the additional restrictions on our loves this would bring."

    The local authority said it would keep the situation under review.
