A council-run hedge-planting scheme has been modified after the discovery of a colony of glow-worms in Norbury Park, near Dorking.

Surrey County Council said the changes were to benefit the species and enhance the declining habitat to provide a better chance of survival.

 A flock of sheep grazing close to the glow-worms were also moved to a nearby field to minimise disturbance.

Did you see a big flash in the skies in the early hours of Monday morning?

A 1m long meteoroid entered the Earth’s atmosphere over the English Channel and could be seen across Sussex.

The International Meteor Organization based in Belgium, said the object would have entered around two and a half miles from the French coast, creating a “fireball” effect.
