The Government's decision last November to scrap the Eastern leg of the HS2 route to Leeds and invest in local services instead, angered some business and civic leaders in the Midlands and the North of England. But what about those whose homes were due to be demolished as part of the project? Our reporter Bob Walker, who's spent many years covering Hs2, has been back to some of the communities which were left in limbo for years .

The barriers to get into cricket have been a topic of discussion this week after former England cricketer Matt Prior criticised the cost of youth cricket programmes, saying some of the most talented children are being priced out of the sport. We hear from parents about the sometimes prohibitive cost of training and kit and from Jonathan Agnew about what the cricket community might do in response.
