Upgrades announced for Loughborough car parks
The council said the charging hub at Southfields Extension car park would provide electric vehicle charging points for around 10 vehicles at a time, with power provided by a solar canopy which is also set to be installed at the site.
According to the council, the project to fund the lift replacements would cost about £250,000, while the installation of the solar canopy and electric chargers would cost about £200,000.
Borough councillor Beverley Gray said the lifts at Beehive Lane multi-storey car park were outdated and investment was key to ensure they remained accessible.Gray added: "It is important that we continue to invest in our car parks across the borough and these improvements will make a huge difference to visitors to Loughborough town centre."

Ofwat appoints interim chief executive after David Black departure
Ofwat has appointed an interim chief executive to take over from the outgoing boss as the embattled regulator prepares to be abolished. Chris Walters will take the helm from August 30, Ofwat announced on Thursday. It comes two days after the regulator announced that the incumbent chief executive, David Black, would be standing down after four years in the role. Mr Walters moves into the role from his current position as a senior director for the price review – the regulator's process for setting the price, service and incentive package for water companies for a five-year period. However, he will be overseeing Ofwat as ministers plan its dissolution in a major regulatory shake-up for the water industry. The government announced the move last month as part of its response to public fury over rising bills, sewage pollution and large bonuses for bosses. Ofwat may not be formally axed until at least 2027, with the process to overhaul the current system likely to be complex. The regulator said the board has made changes to the leadership structure to reflect the transitional nature of its work going forward. Currently, Ofwat oversees how much water companies in England and Wales can charge for services; the Drinking Water Inspectorate ensures that public water supplies are safe; while the Environment Agency and Natural England have regulatory functions to monitor firms' impact on nature. The regulators have faced intense criticism for overseeing companies during the years where they paid out to shareholders and accrued large debts while aging infrastructure crumbled and sewage spills skyrocketed. Under government plans, measures will be rolled out to merge their regulatory responsibilities into a 'single, powerful' regulator – one for England and another for Wales. It comes as one of 88 measures recommended by an independent review led by former Bank of England governor Sir Jon Cunliffe, which was commissioned by ministers to answer the widespread outrage over the ailing water sector. Ofwat said Mr Walters will be tasked with providing leadership for the organisation, but will also lead the engagement process with the government and industry as the recommendations are taken forward. As part of its own response to the crisis, Ofwat said it would allow firms to raise average bills from 2025 to 2030 to help finance a £104 billion upgrade for the sector as part of its 2024 price review. Elsewhere, Helen Campbell, Ofwat's senior director for sector performance, has been appointed as the executive director for delivery. Ms Campbell will also take up her new position from August 30, reporting directly to the board. In this role, she will take responsibility for ensuring the delivery of the £104 billion five-year expenditure programme. She will also oversee progress on the £50 billion pipeline of major infrastructure projects and the stabilisation of Thames Water, which is facing a severe financial crisis that has brought it to the brink of potential nationalisation.

Car Deal of the Day: Vauxhall Frontera Electric won't break the bank at £163 a month
Well equipped top-spec GS trim 186-mile range; easy to drive Cheaper than hybrid model at just £163.08 a month Vauxhall is betting big on electric cars. The British brand has a diverse range of cars powered by batteries, and one of the latest is the Frontera. But new doesn't mean expensive, as our Deal of the Day goes to show. Advertisement - Article continues below The Frontera of today is a very different machine from its nineties namesake. It's now a small SUV that comes with hybrid or electric power. And, rather amazingly, the EV version is considerably cheaper than its hybrid twin with this deal. How much cheaper? Well, how does a whopping £75 a month sound? Jurni Leasing is offering the Frontera Electric GS for just £163.08 compared with a Frontera Hybrid GS from another broker for £238.73 a month. This deal for the electric model, via the Auto Express Find a Car service, requires a £2,164.46 initial payment. It's a two-year deal with mileage capped at 5,000 a year, although a higher 8,000-mile limit can be had for just £11.61 a month extra. Compared with some of Vauxhall's other models, the Frontera offers huge value for money. It's a spacious car inside, with a 460-litre boot and impressive levels of room in the back seats for such a compact SUV. Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below This deal bags you GS – the highest trim level on offer for the time being. It builds on the standard car's twin 10-inch displays, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless smartphone charging, and parking camera, with 17-inch alloys, a black roof, silver skid plates front and rear, plus LED rear lights. The Frontera comes with a choice of two battery sizes – a standard model and a recently announced Extended Range version. Here you're getting the former, which means a 44kWh battery pack giving a claimed WLTP range of 186 miles. In our experience, Vauxhalls tend to have strong efficiency, so we'd expect the Frontera to deliver an everyday range that's not too far off the claimed figure. The Frontera is a perfectly pleasant car to drive and perfect for family duties. It's supple over bumps while light steering marks parking a doddle. The Car Deal of the Day selections we make are taken from our own Auto Express Find A Car deals service, which includes the best current offers from car dealers and leasing companies around the UK.

Shock Bank split exposes precarious state of Britain's economy
If the country learnt anything about the economy on Thursday, it was that even the Bank of England's most senior officials don't know how to fix it. A shock split emerged on Threadneedle Street during its latest interest rate decision, as Andrew Bailey was opposed by two of his trusted lieutenants. While the Governor voted to cut rates from 4.25pc to 4pc, Clare Lombardelli, the Bank deputy, and Huw Pill, the chief economist, opted to hold owing to growing fears over inflation. In fact, across the Bank's nine-person panel, policymakers were so divided on how to cure the economy's ills that they were forced into an unprecedented second vote to break an initial deadlock. When it comes to resurgent inflation, high borrowing costs and stagnating growth, it appears that Britain's most esteemed economists are divided. By a wafer-thin majority of five to four, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decided to cut borrowing costs to levels not seen since March 2023. However, the split underscores the perilous situation facing the economy. 'This masks the uncommon level of dissent amongst the committee,' says Matthew Swannell, the chief economic advisor to the EY Item Club. When it comes to monetary policy, the Bank will choose to lower rates to encourage the economy to grow faster. And this is precisely the reason why Bailey voted to cut on Thursday – with fiscal alarm bells ringing across the country. The UK economy shrank in both April and May, first by 0.3pc and then by a further 0.1pc. Meanwhile, unemployment has also risen to a four-year high of 4.7pc. Weakness across the labour market has led to the number of job adverts having fallen for the longest period on record in the last two decades, prompting experts to warn of a 'hiring recession'. By one provisional measure, there are now 178,000 fewer payrolled employees than a year ago.
