• Amber alert chills east Dorset

  Health services are preparing for extra pressure as an amber cold health alert comes into force across east Dorset and the South West until next week. Forecasters warn low temperatures could increase risks for older people, those with long term conditions and people sleeping rough. Residents are being urged to check on vulnerable friends and neighbours and keep homes warm where possible. Advice also includes having enough food and medicine and seeking help from the NHS if needed.

• Local push for seven day GP access

  Action is being taken over long waits to see a GP in Dorset, with Liberal Democrats pushing for a new legal right to appointments within seven days. The move follows figures showing more than one hundred and twenty three thousand patients waited over a month to see a doctor in October. Vikki Slade MP says the delays are increasing pressure on A and E, and leaving people struggling to access care, particularly older residents and those unable to book online. The proposals include recruiting more GPs and expanding local surgeries to improve access across the county.

• Cherries battle for point at Chelsea

  Bournemouth secured a valuable away point after drawing two all with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. David Brooks put the Cherries ahead early before Chelsea responded with a penalty and a goal from open play. Justin Kluivert equalised in the first half to level the match. Despite heavy pressure late on, Bournemouth held firm to see out the draw.

• Record seizures of illegal e-bikes

  Nearly one hundred illegal e-bikes and more than one hundred and thirty e-scooters have been seized this year as police target anti social behaviour. Officers focused work in Poole and north Bournemouth, supported by new forensic spray technology. Police say the approach is helping secure evidence and disrupt risky riding in public places. Residents are being reminded to check the law before buying electric vehicles and to report suspected illegal use so concerns in local communities can be addressed.

• Man taken to hospital after assault

  A man has been taken to hospital after being assaulted in Christchurch late last night. Police say he suffered stab wounds in Dennistoun Avenue and officers are now carrying out enquiries to trace those involved. Detectives are asking anyone who was nearby, or driving in the area around ten o’clock, to come forward with information. An increased police presence remains in the area as enquiries continue.
