Fed–up locals living next to one of Britain's newest prisons say their lives have been made hell by rowdy inmates playing loud rap music and swearing 24/7.

HMP Fosse Way in Leicestershire cost a staggering £286 million to build and officially opened in June 2023.

Run by Serco, it houses around 1,700 inmates coming to the end of their sentences - meaning they enjoy more freedoms and luxuries than the average lag as they are prepared for their return to society.

Sales data from Rightmove suggests homes in the village have appreciated in value by around three per cent in the last year.
