Western Park's Eco House, Swimming Participation & SPOTY Nomination: Jamie Vardy

Start your day with the latest news and updates, with Jim and Jo at breakfast.

We'll move a step closer to discovering the fate of two iconic Leicester buildings this week. They've lain empty and unloved for some time now, but there's just 24 hours left for interested parties to submit supporting material for their bids for the old Eco House and Open Air School in Western Park.

Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland has seen one of the steepest drops in the country when it comes to the number of people swimming. Almost 21,000 people who used to go once a week just a decade ago, have now given up visiting their pool regularly, a fall of over a third.

Jamie Vardy has rounded off a nearly perfect 2016 with a nomination for Sports Personality of the Year. He's one of the twelve names on the shortlist, announced by host Gabby Logan on the One Show last night.
