Weekly round-up: Five stories you may have missed

A story about a set of traffic cameras being cut down hours after going up was among our most read this week.

We have picked five stories from the past seven days in Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Dorset, Berkshire and Oxfordshire to keep you up to date.

A "remarkable" sculpture that was lost for half a century has been rediscovered in a headmaster's office in Dorset.

Single Form by Dame Barbara Hepworth was identified during an inventory of artefacts at Bryanston School.

The bronze sculpture had been bequeathed to Bryanston in 1975 by a former governor, but its provenance had been forgotten, until now.

The private school, in Blandford Forum, said it would auction the piece to fund its bursary for talented young artists.

A burst pipe which sprayed water 30ft (9m) into the air in a residential street "sounded like a storm", a resident has said.

The water main burst on Luckley Road in Wokingham, Berkshire, on Saturday morning.

Several residents found chunks of tarmac, ripped from the road surface, had been propelled into the air and landed on their cars, causing them to be written off.

South East Water apologised for the disruption and damage caused by the burst. It has since been repaired and the road re-opened.

Traffic cameras put up on a major city route have been hacked down hours after being installed.

The device had been put up on the A3024 Northam Bridge in Southampton on Tuesday to monitor speed and red light offences.

It was fitted on the road's central island, which has been home to a conventional speed camera for several years, to capture two-way traffic across all lanes over the bridge.

The pole holding the new equipment was found sliced through on Wednesday morning, causing the T-shaped camera mount to topple and smash.

The cab of a car transporter caught fire at the Oxford Mini plant.

BMW confirmed "a small fire" started in the front of a logistics car carrier earlier on Wednesday.

The manufacturer said the blaze had been "quickly brought under control" by the emergency services and no-one was injured.

Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said two fire engines attended the incident.

The Royal Mail will have to return to sender after confused residents spotted one of its vans on the Isle of Wight in Welsh livery.

The van was sighted in the village of Brighstone, furnished with a Post Brenhinol logo, which is the Welsh name for the Royal Mail.

Ian Elcock, who took pictures of the van, wondered if one meant for Newport in Wales had turned up accidentally on the island.

But the Royal Mail told the BBC the error had been made by the signwriters contracted to add the logo to the vehicle.
