IT was an eagle-eyed NHS auditor who spotted the devil in the detail while probing bids for work at Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham. His spot paved the way for the largest ever probe into illegal practices in the building industry. The Office of Fair Trading investigated 112 companies nationally, of which 103 were fined a total of Pounds 129.5million.
IT wasn't quite how they imagined spending the Bank Holiday. But residents of a village in the heart of England found themselves having to form a human barricade to prevent a band of gipsies from building an illegal settlement.

RESIDENTS have won their fight to get a block of flats which was built illegally demolished. Families launched a campaign calling for the building in Etruria Road, Basford, to be pulled down after it emerged it had not been built according to the original designs.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert yesterday ruled out ceasefire talks with Hamas, calling the country's battle against the Islamic militant group a "true war". The Israeli army has been battling against Hamas and other armed groups that frequently fire rockets into southern Israel. The army appears to have made substantial gains in recent weeks, and Olmert told his cabinet there were no plans to slow down.
A man who has turned a tumbledown beach-side hut into one of the Westcountry's most eccentric homes has been told his occupation of the building is illegal. Beachcomber David Burgess, 63, has been using the quaint little stone building as a home for 25 years, after adding windows, a driftwood roof and front door.
Last week I went to Bucharest, Romania, with a delegation from the European Parliament's Petitions Committee. We were dealing with a number of issues raised in various petitions, some of which are of concern to constituents in Lincolnshire, including: Wind turbines: there are protests against proposals to install 2,400 wind turbines in a scenic area of the country. Gold mining: there are protests against plans to invest a billion euros in a new gold-mining project in the town of Rosia Montana, where they have a 2,000 year tradition of mining, and 80 per cent unemployment. Bucharest Cathedral: the Catholic Church is very upset about a 20-storey building which has been erected within 20 feet of the historic cathedral, using a very dodgy and illegal building permit.

I am writing to object most strongly to the latest planning application by Golden Valley Paddocks for a temporary timber-clad mobile home. Nothing has changed since the previous three applications for this building were turned down. Besides this, once a mobile home is erected (in fact these never are fully mobile as drainage has to be provided) we all recognise the danger os f it turning into something more permanent in the future.
