The 41-year-old was prosecuted by Derbyshire Police over an incident last July when his Audi A8 Quattro had been caught out on a speed camera. Rosenior admitted being behind the wheel of the vehicle, which had been travelling at 36mph in a 30mph zone in Rykneld Road, Littleover, Derbyshire, at 11.41am on July 7. He was offered the chance to avoid a criminal prosecution by completing a speed awareness course, but did not turn up to the session which had been arranged.

A Derbyshire woman has offered a £1,000 reward after large driveway gates were stolen from the entrance to her family's rural land. The 20ft-wide metal driveway gates, valued at about £5,000, were taken from Moor Lane in Little Eaton over a six-hour period on Monday afternoon and evening. The theft has left the entrance to the property unsecured and exposed valuable equipment inside the land.

Leus Du Plooy haunted his former county Derbyshire as his second hundred of the season led Middlesex to a slender first-innings lead on day two at Lord's. The Middlesex skipper, who spent five years with Derbyshire prior to joining the Seaxes, produced a stoic four-and-a-half hour effort with only eight boundaries as the hosts reached 298 all out. Josh De Caires (46) and Joe Cracknell (43) provided the main support, the latter sharing a stand of 80 for the sixth wicket with Du Plooy.
