Major change kicks in for EVERY driveway in England ‘to save months of delays and cut costs'
It hopes to accelerate the rollout of EVs CHARGING AHEAD Major change kicks in for EVERY driveway in England 'to save months of delays and cut costs' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MAJOR rule change has come for drivers around the UK in a positive move for home and vehicle owners. The change involves the installation of electric vehicle (EV) chargers for both public and private use. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The new driveway law is for every household in the UK Credit: Alamy 2 It is expected to save thousands of pounds a year and wait times Credit: Alamy There is a current target to install 300,000 chargers across the UK by 2030, a goal set out by the previous Conservative government. From this week, those wanting to install an EV charger will no longer require planning permission from a local authority. The new move by Labour is expected to save driver £1,100 a year, as well as months of delays. Liberty to install EV chargers was already the case for most on a private property with off-street parking. But for larger public developments, a green light from local authorities was required. CEO of charger provider Osprey, Ian Johnston, told Autocar last year: "The problem is you've got to go through a process which is under-resourced and takes six to nine months to get planning permission.' The process has been deemed a key bottleneck in the roll-out of the nation's EV and charging network. The Future of Roads Minister, Lilian Greenwood, said: "We're cutting down on paperwork to power up the EV revolution so that drivers, businesses and those looking to make the switch will have more charge points to power from and less red tape to deal with." These rule changes hope to help the "EV revolution" by what Ms Greenwood considers making it "easier than ever to install EV chargers" for EV drivers across the UK. The Labour MP continued: "We continue to make the switch to EVs easier, cheaper and better by investing over £2.3billion to support drivers and back British carmakers through international trade deals - creating jobs, boosting investment and securing our future as part of our Plan for Change." Audi launches NEW superfast charging hybrid with eye-watering price Operations Director at Osprey Charging Network, Lewis Gardiner welcomed the government's "practical change" in policy which he believes will make a "huge difference" for the industry. He added: "Removing the need for planning permission for essential electrical infrastructure like substations across the majority of sites will save months of delays, reduce costs and accelerate the delivery of the rapid charging hubs drivers need." Jack Counsens, head of roads policy at The AA, praised the positive step but said the government should be doing all it can: "The crucial element is ensuring grid connection in a timely manner. "This is especially important in rural locations and areas where there is no dedicated off-street parking." A charger mapping by firm Zap-Map has shown there were more than 79,000 publicly accessible charge points across the UK at the end of last month. This is an increase of 6,000 since the end of 2024, but just a quarter of the final goal for the next five years.

I struggled to grow my hair until a 88p hack made it super long in just one month – I can't believe it
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN who struggled to make her hair grow for two years revealed that she was able to make her locks long and luscious thanks to the help of an 88p Temu buy. Hannah Beau revealed that after using the budget buy, her hair grew super long, in just one month. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Hannah had been trying to grow her hair for years Credit: TikTok/Hannahbeau 3 Her hair grew long and luscious in just one month Credit: tiktok/@hannahbeauc 3 Hannah began using a scalp massager to stimulate growth Credit: Temu Taking to TikTok, the brunette beauty raved about her hair transformation. "I've accidentally come across the best product for hair growth," she said. "I'm lowkey p**ssed I didn't know about this two years ago." Hannah, who said she was "baffled" by the transformation, showed viewers a picture of her shoulder length hair in January. Read more hair care stories HAIR THIS The £6 'growth' shampoo shoppers love, but it won't be in the beauty aisle She then showed a snap of it three months later, not looking much longer. "And this is today", she said, sharing a picture of her locks tumbling down her back. Hannah revealed that there was just one month between the second and third pictures. Sharing her secret, she explained that there were only two things that she had changed about her hair care routine. The first was using a scalp brush, which you can pick up from from Temu for as little as 88p. Scalp massaging increases blood flow to the scalp, which can make hair grow faster and healthier, and increase hair thickness. My hair is so shiny you can see your reflection in it - it's all thanks to an 84p product that lasts up to 10 washes The second thing she started using was a scalp oil from Kitsch, priced at £20. "It's been doing a bloody good job," she said. "I'll have waist length hair by Christmas". The TikToker also said she thought the warmer weather may have helped her hair to grow. Hair re-growth FAQs Anabel Kingsley, Consultant Trichologist and Brand President at Philip Kingsley spoke exclusively to Fabulous. How long does it take for hair to grow back? Hair grows, on average, half an inch a month. You cannot speed this up. Do rosemary oil and scalp massages work? Oils do not promote hair growth. In terms of rosemary oil, the current trend stems from one small study carried out on 50 men in 2015. No women were involved, and the study compared the effects of 2 per cent minoxidil to Rosemary oil. 2 per cent minoxidil doesn't do much for male pattern hair loss anyway, so the results were not very impressive. Oils do serve a purpose in conditioning hair treatments though. They help add shine and smooth the hair cuticle to lock-in moisture and improve combability. Scalp massages alone won't cure hair loss, but it can help relax you, aid in lymphatic drainage, exfoliate and help topicals penetrate. Are there any products or foods/vitamins you recommend someone using or eating to help with hair regrowth? To support healthy hair regrowth, if you are experiencing hair thinning we'd recommend our Density Preserving Scalp Drops clinically proven to help slow hair loss with continued daily use within three months. Telogen effluvium (hair shedding) due to nutritional deficiencies can often be simply treated with changes to your diet, and nutritional supplements such as our specially formulated Density Healthy Hair Complex and Density Amino Acid Booster. Iron and Ferritin (stored iron) in red meat, dried apricots and dark, leafy greens. Vitamin B12 in animal products and fortified plant-based foods. Protein from oily fish, lean meat, cottage cheese, tofu, nuts, chickpeas, and beans. However, there may be an underlying cause for their hair loss and rather than this being masked by using an off-the-shelf product, they should be encouraged to seek the advice of a specialist such as a Trichologist. Hair grows faster in the summer due to a variety of reasons, such as increased blood circulation due to warmer temperatures and increased vitamin D production. Hannah's (@hannahbeauc) video has likely left many people impressed, as it has racked up over 873,000 views on the video sharing platform. TikTok users raced to the video's comments section to share their thoughts. One person said: "Scalp massagers deffo help because you're stimulating your hair follicles." A second person said: "Wow! I think it's because you're stimulating your scalp." A third person said: "Your hair journey has been so beautiful, I'm so happy for you!"

I was size 22 eating FIVE takeaways a week – now I'm told I look like Gemma Owen after 8st weight loss without jabs
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MUM got a jaw-dropping 'revenge body' with £5,000 'tweakments' and losing eight stone - gaining comparisons to Love Island star Gemma Owen. Amy Salmon says when her long-term relationship broke down in March last year she was a size 22 and felt 'horrific' in her own skin. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 15 Amy Salmon when she was size 22 before her weight loss Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 15 Amy lost eight stone to get a 'revenge body' and now oozes confidence Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 15 Gemma opted for a £4,200 gastric sleeve in June 2024 Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media But after undergoing gastric sleeve surgery and £5,000-worth of beauty treatments, the 31-year-old says she now oozes confidence and is a completely different person. Unbelievable photos show Amy a year apart looking strikingly different - with the aesthetics practitioner claiming she's now a completely different person both mentally and physically. When the mum-of-two first met her ex-partner aged 21 she weighed 10st and would go to the gym five times a week to maintain her trim size 8 figure. But after becoming comfortable in her relationship, Amy says she piled on the pounds and ballooned to 17st as she gorged on five takeaways a week due to 'emotional eating'. More on weight loss WEIGH TO GO I was sick of not losing weight, I've shed FIVE STONE without fat jabs or diets It was only when Amy saw photos of herself in a dress after a night out post break-up that she decided she needed to do something about her 'unhealthy' habits. At first, Amy tried to lose the weight through exercise but, due to her binge-eating habit, opted for a £4,200 gastric sleeve in June 2024. Following the op in Egypt, Amy dropped 8st and eight dress sizes to a svelte size six and says she's now a much more active mum too. Amy is now sharing her transformation to show other women that they shouldn't be scared to leave an 'unhealthy' relationship. Amy, from Bishop's Stortford in Hertfordshire, said: "There was a breakdown in communication in our relationship. "In the end, we couldn't even bring ourselves to be in the same room as each other. I was sick of trying fad diets and not losing weight but now I've shed FIVE STONE without fat jabs or silly eating plans "I felt horrific in myself. I had never felt so low mentally and physically in my body image in my entire life. "A massive contributing factor for the relationship ended was how I looked, I was a massive binge eater. "You get comfortable with someone and go out on dates to eat and you're not going to the gym five or six times a week like I was when I first met him. "[In the relationship], I would order a lot of Uber Eats. I would have constant takeaways and live off these. 15 Following the op in Egypt, Amy dropped 8st and eight dress sizes to a svelte size six Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 15 After becoming comfortable in her relationship, Amy says she piled on the pounds and ballooned to 17st Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 15 She used to be a size eight (pictured at the age of 21) before her relationship Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 15 Her long-term relationship broke down in March last year and prompted her image overhaul Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media "I was probably having five takeaways a week and it was setting me back at least £100. "The binge-eating had gotten out of control. I just needed something as extreme as a gastric sleeve to kick me into gear. "It [losing the weight] made me feel amazing. I love fashion and it meant I was able to buy clothes from shops as before I had to buy my clothes online. "As a mum it has massively changed the game. As a 17 stone woman, I would be sweating at soft play. "I used to be embarrassed to do those things because of how I looked and my energy levels but now I feel so much better."

The short bob was such a miserable cut and colour for a miserable person. "I do a lot of the treatment myself but I would have spent absolutely thousands on this. My hair alone cost me £600 and in total at least £5,000 for everything else."

Amy said: "When I look in the mirror, I see a different person and I don't recognise the person I was. I could cry looking at photos.

She's so young but maybe my aesthetic treatment is working. "The break up was the best thing that has ever happened to me. It needed to happen and I dread to think where I would be if I was still in that relationship. "Do not let the fear of what your life will look like keep you miserable. Life's too short."
