Labour and Tories vote down Hamilton community funding
At South Lanarkshire Council's Hamilton area committee on Wednesday, SNP councillors proposed giving more than £5000 to 11 community groups in Hamilton, Larkhall and Bothwell, highlighting there had been tens of thousands of pounds in underspend in the community grants budget in previous years. However, Labour councillors Allan Falconer and Mo Razzaq proposed a much smaller amount, with their plan receiving backing from Tory councillors – including Tory by-election candidate Richard Nelson. One group that was eligible for more than £1900 only received £300. It comes a day before voters in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse hit the polls to elect a new MSP following the death of Christina McKelvie. READ MORE: New poll shows Scots overwhelmingly back independence over direct rule Hamilton councillor John Ross said Labour and the Tories teaming up to deny community groups funding was "egregious". He said: "South Lanarkshire SNP are disappointed to see Labour and the Tories team-up once again to deny local community groups in the Hamilton area the funding that they need and deserve. "This is particularly egregious given there is money sitting unused in the Community Grants budget specifically for this purpose. "We call on the Labour party and their coalition partners to end their austerity agenda and invest in the people and places of South Lanarkshire." South Lanarkshire Council had been run by a minority SNP administration before the local elections in 2022, and the party was returned as the largest that year. However, the SNP's 27 seats were not enough to take a majority on the 64-seat council and instead Labour won the support of the Tory group and LibDems which allowed them to form an administration. The SNP will be aiming to hold onto the Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse Scottish Parliament seat they have held since 2011 when the seat was created.

McKelvie won the seat three times on the trot with a majority of more than 4500 over Labour in 2021. Professor John Curtice has predicted whichever party wins they will likely do so on less than a third of the vote. He told The National he would be surprised if Reform won the by-election, predicting they will come "a good third". Curtice no party "is going to do terribly well" in a fragmented political environment, but he considers the SNP to be slight favourites in the race.

Homeowners with garden fences told to 'contact council' or risk £20k fine
New rules came in last week under The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 give households guidance - here's all you need to know UK homeowners with garden fences could be slapped with hefty £20,000 fines for a common blunder following new regulations. The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 has recently updated guidelines for households. Which? legal expert Gurpreet Chhokar warned: "If you're thinking of putting up a new garden fence this summer, there are a few important things to bear in mind to make sure you don't break any laws and find yourself landed with a fine." Gurpreet advised: "If you don't have planning permission then your fence can't be any higher than two metres from the ground." While rear garden fences can stand at two metres, stricter rules apply to front garden barriers, reports Birmingham Live. Front garden fences must not exceed one metre - just over three feet - according to the new guidance. Gurpreet further explained: "There will also be some cases where planning permission will be needed if the fence is more than a meter high - such as if it borders a highway or the footpath of a highway if you're not sure, then it's worth getting in touch with your local planning authority (which is usually your local council) to check." Before making alterations or enhancements to your property, it's crucial to determine whether planning permission is required. Proceeding without the necessary permissions could result in being forced to revert any changes made. Jimmy Englezos, from Ronseal, warned: "If it's your neighbour who owns the fence, you must seek permission from them before making any changes to your property's side of the fence, this includes hanging fairy lights, drilling holes or growing vertical plants. "Similarly, if you want to lean something against the fence or grow plants next to it that may make contact with the fence, you have to seek permission from the owners first as it could cause damage." He further warns: "If you own the fence, you can decorate the space however you like, as long as it doesn't place your neighbour or their property at risk." And don't forget, causing a statutory nuisance with your fence, like flooding or blocked drains, might hit you with fines up to £5,000 – or even £20,000 if you're running a business.
