A caravan allegedly used for prostitution was destroyed in a midnight fire on Ambleside Drive in Southend. Firefighters extinguished the blaze, and no injuries were reported. The cause of the fire has not been determined, and authorities are not treating it as deliberate. Residents had repeatedly complained about the caravan's alleged use for prostitution, and local officials had been working to have it removed.

OEX Vertex Lite 130 review: Can you really buy a good roof tent for under £700

Go Outdoors has launched the budget OEX Vertex Lite 130 roof tent, priced at £695 with membership. The tent weighs 39.5 kg, measures 220 x 135 x 98 cm when open, and sleeps two. It pitches in about five minutes, with a waterproof rating of 3000 mm for the main fabric and 6000 mm for the rainfly. However, the mattress is firm, the ladder feels less robust than rivals, and interior headroom (93 cm) is lower than the TentBox Lite (105 cm). Overall, it offers good value for beginners but with trade-offs in comfort and finish.
