Company fined £4,200 after losing door move appeal
A company that failed to restore a building to comply with a council's instructions will have to pay £4,200.
A retrospective application to move the front door at Hardware House, on The Green in Datchet, Berkshire, was refused in October 2023 by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.
An appeal against that decision lodged with the Planning Inspectorate was refused again in October 2024.
MJM Property Investments Limited admitted it breached an enforcement notice issued in August 2024 and it was told to pay a £500 fine, a £200 surcharge and £3,500 costs by Slough magistrates on 16 May.

The Sports Bra scores a win for women's sports with five new locations opening in America
As women's sports are finally starting to get the recognition they've always deserved, a popular Portland, Oregon-based bar dedicated to women's athletics is expanding to cities across the country. The Sports Bra, the first bar in the U.S. dedicated to women's sports, was the brainchild of queer chef Jenny Nguyen. After opening in 2022, it quickly became a Portland staple due to its inclusive atmosphere where all the screens play women's sports, and its extensive food and drink menu. Advertisement Now, based on the success of The Sports Bra, the bar is opening four new franchise locations in Boston, Las Vegas, Indianapolis, and St. Louis. "The addition of these new locations will help fuel the movement for gender equity in sports and provide even more opportunities for fans to watch, cheer, and connect over their favorite women's teams and athletes," The Sports Bra said in its announcement. Since the bar first opened in 2022 after Nguyen realized there was nowhere for her to watch the women's NCAA basketball championship game with her friends, it has received financial backing from investors like Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, who is married to tennis legend Serena Williams, CBS News reports. Advertisement "Each new location will carry the same heart and mission as our original one in Portland-uplifting women-owned businesses, serving delicious food, and creating a welcoming space for everyone who wants to belong to a community and be part of the movement," Nguyen said in a statement. The Sports Bra started teasing an expansion with social media posts asking fans to suggest cities where they should open up bars, before announcing the new locations on Instagram on June 3. US women's soccer icon Becky Sauerbrunn, Team USA hockey legend Hilary Knight, CEO of the Women's National Football Conference Odessa Jenkins, and Portland WNBA president Inky Son all helped make the announcement in an Instagram video listing the new locations. 'Visibility matters. Representation matters. And celebrating women in sports—loudly and proudly—matters,' the post read.

Sheriff's department uncovers Nazi extremists' secret arsenal in quiet Washington suburb
CONTENT WARNING– This article contains material that some readers may find distressing. Reader discretion is advised. Two white supremacist extremists and their cache of guns and Nazi paraphernalia were discovered in a suburban Washington state home. Thurston County Sheriff Derek Sanders announced the coordinated operation along with the Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID), discovering "military-grade weaponry and armor" in the City of Lacey, near the state capital of Olympia. Sanders announced the discovery in a Facebook post and said that the CID asked his office for assistance Monday as an FBI special weapons and tactics team executed a search warrant "as a result of a violent robbery and theft of military weaponry/armor." Sanders' statement said two people were arrested and booked into Thurston County Jail for investigation of firearms-related offenses. Their names have not been released, pending federal charges, the department said. "Despite requests to set bail at only $5,000, Superior Court granted the Prosecutor's request and set bail at $500,000 each," Sanders said. The pair compiled a stash of short barrel rifles, an MG42 machine gun, grenade launchers, explosives, body armor, ammunition, and ballistic helmets, the department said. Multiple rifles were also staged at windows throughout the residence, the department said. Photos of the stockpile captured the 35 firearms distributed throughout the Washington state home. Along with the store of firearms, authorities discovered Nazi paraphernalia throughout the home. Photos captured a red Nazi flag emblazoned with a black swastika, pro-Nazism literature and artwork depicting Adolf Hitler. "The suspects identified in this case were actively involved in Nazi White Nationalist efforts," the sheriff said. Additional information is expected to be included in a federal criminal complaint to be unsealed Wednesday. The two people arrested were expected to make initial appearances at U.S. District Court in Tacoma on Wednesday afternoon. Fox News Digital has reached out to the U.S. Attorney's Office-Western District of Washington and the Thurston County Sheriff's Department for comment.
