Most ‘Spider-ific’ Street in the UK Unveiled
New research has revealed Luton’s ‘Selbourne Road’ as the UK’s most ‘spider-ific’ location – a street that’s been recognised to have the highest number of recorded spider sightings and individual species.

The research, carried out with Buglife - Invertebrate Conservation Trust and the Spider Recording Scheme, found almost 2300 recorded sightings with 143 separate species observed in Selbourne Road.

The research highlighted Luton in Bedfordshire, Hornby in West Lancashire, Washingborough in South Lincolnshire, Doddington in Kent and Reading University Campus as the top five locations across the UK for the highest recorded spider sightings. However, Luton’s ‘Selbourne Road’ was shown to be the hub of spider activity with almost four times more sightings than Hornby - the location with the next highest number of sightings.

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
