Divisional director for Northamptonshire, Mick Jones, said he had "never seen such demand" in his 35 years at the service.The service, which covers Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire and Rutland, would usually see a reduction in demand in the summer, but that had not been the case this year, Mr Jones said.
