Indian IT services provider MindTree is celebrating 10 years supporting the Spastics Society in Indian state Karnatica which was formed in 1999.

The government has invited tenders for "identity verification and authentication services", in an attempt to assess the public sector's need for something that will confirm a user's identity.

RBS is axing 1,000 technology jobs as part of a cull of 3,500 positions across the company.

PIGS may not be able to fly, but they have been spotted by a bemused dog-walker trotting through the woods.

Tom Mackay, 60, of Toys Hill, was walking his dog Feebee on April 15 at about 6.30am, when he came across two wild boar in the wood close to his home.

"They were dark brown, leaner and had longer legs than I might expect," he explained.

"They had snouts but I did not see any tusks – though they did not look like deer nor dogs."

Mr Mackay described how the pigs crossed the path about 40 yards ahead of him but ran away after spotting Feebee.

"I have walked the woods for almost 20 years and although I have seen several deer and even a streaker, I have not seen pigs before," he said.

"It was actually quite fun. I half expected Henry VIII to come bounding out of the woods with a lance, ready to spear one of them.

"They weren't your modern pigs, they looked like quite an old-fashioned breed."

Youngsters have been using dogs to terrorise pensioners and families in a community park.

Fed-up homeowners have joined forces to devise a plan to deal with aggressive or intimidating dogs and owners, at the recreation ground in Church Road, Biggin Hill.

Bob Wilkinson, who helps to run the Biggin Hill Partnership group, admitted the 'status dog' problem had become worse in recent weeks.

Residents met to discuss the issues last night, and Mr Wilkinson told the Chronicle: "We heard of a lot of the older ladies living around the recreation ground were frightened by the so-called status dogs.

"There have been youths in the recreation ground who have been intimidating, warning these ladies to keep their dogs away, or their dog would rip its throat out.

"A lot of these ladies have small companion dogs and we were having a situation where they were saying they had nowhere to walk them."

Mr Wilkinson blamed youngsters coming from outside the area.

He said the BHP decided to hold a meeting to discuss the dogs and other antisocial behaviour problems in the town, after members of the public expressed their concerns.

Bromley police spokesman Julian Hurst said: "We have had no feedback from residents about status dogs in the recreation ground, although we do know it is a problem in other areas of Bromley."

He added police had put into effect a new tactic to crack down on antisocial behaviour.

Powers included a new six-month dispersal zone in Biggin Hill, which came into effect last month.

Sergeant Gill Smith, head of the Biggin Hill Safer Neighbourhood Team said: "We have been working together with the council to secure this dispersal order. It gives us an extra tool to police people carrying out antisocial behaviour, so we can improve the quality of life for those living and working in the area.

"We will continue to use all available legislation to reduce crime and tackle the antisocial behaviour, which is only caused by a small minority of individuals, who travel into the area.

"These dispersal areas are an effective tactic in protecting the community and solving the problems of criminality and antisocial behaviour in neighbourhoods."

A meeting to discuss problems of anti-social behaviour in Biggin Hill is due to be held on April 28.

The Biggin Hill Partnership will meet in St Mark's Church hall at 8.00pm.

The meeting is open to all residents with an interest in, or concern about, the policing in Biggin Hill ward in response to recent events. These include shop-lifting in Main Road, the use of miniature motorcycles and off-road machines in public places, antisocial behaviour by a large number of school pupils during the half term holiday and the presence of intimidating status dogs in the Recreation Ground.
