Highland Council planning 95 new homes in Ullapool
A report published by Highland Community Planning Partnership last December said Wester Ross along with the Lochalsh and Strathpeffer areas faced challenges around affordable homes.It said holiday lets and second homes were "prevalent" and this was the cause of "significant frustration" over property prices and also limited housing choices for local people.The report said community trusts and housing associations provided essential affordable options.Highland Council has committed to addressing a lack of housing in its region, but has estimated an extra 24,000 homes are needed over the next 10 years.Last year it said there was also an urgent need to have accommodation available for people filling an expected 8,400 jobs to be created by the new Inverness and Cromarty Firth Green Freeport.

Unexpected UK city to charge £4.90 MORE per night in ‘tourist tax' that's higher than Barcelona or Venice
VISITORS to an unexpected UK city are set to be hit with a new tourist tax that's more expensive than Barcelona or Venice. If you plan to visit the city and stay overnight, you could be charged an extra £4.90 per night under the new measures. 2 2 The new 7 per cent tax on overnight stays will be introduced by Aberdeen City Council in July 2027. At an average room rate of £70 per night, visitors will have to stump up an extra £4.90 per night. Any non-resident staying overnight in Aberdeen will have to pay the fee which is expected to bring an extra £6.8 million a year into the city. This money will then be reinvested in the city's tourism sector. Stephen Gow, chair of VisitAberdeenshire, said the city received over 2.2 million overnight visitors last year which generated £500 million. He called the new measures a "well managed scheme" that will "drive continued growth of Aberdeen's visitor economy". He added: 'The headroom for growth in the leisure and conference sectors will be fulfilled through effective investment in promotion, events, and development of the tourism sector." Who will it apply to? The tax will apply to hotels, B&Bs, self-catering accommodation, campsites and caravan parks. For specific events like arts festivals or major conferences, councils will be permitted to adjust the 7 per cent figure. But the type of accommodation subject to the tax won't be able to change. There are exemptions, however, which include motorhomes and people receiving disability payments. Aberdeen City Council's finance and resources convener, Alex McLellan, said: "The income generated from the visitor levy, paid by those visiting the city, will provide a huge boost to our local economy and allow us to invest in bringing major events and conferences here on a more regular basis." The tax will also support large-scale events, productions and festivals through a special fund. Other tourist taxes Aberdeen is not the first Scottish city to introduce such measures but the 7 per cent rate is the highest so far. Both Edinburgh and Glasgow introduced a 5 per cent levy earlier this year which are due to come into effect in June 2026 and January 2027 respectively. McLellan added that tourists are paying similar amounts per night across Europe. "We should do the same to ensure we can compete in terms of attracting both business and leisure tourism to Aberdeen," he said. The new levies come after the Scottish Parliament introduced legislation to impose a levy on overnight accommodation. There isn't an equivalent law in England but Liverpool and Manchester, for example, have already found alternative ways to raise money in the same fashion. Holidaymakers who take a trip to Wales will be thumped with an extra £1.30 per night after proposals were given the nod.

Mega £450m new town is coming to UK with 4,500 homes, shops, parks & sport pitches – as first glimpse unveiled
A HUGE new town with more than 4,000 homes and schools is being built in the UK. The first glimpse of the new town has been unveiled – showing houses set over 900 acres of land. 1 Thorpebury, in Leicestershire, will include shops, healthcare facilities and sports pitches. Once it is fully developed, the town will also boast land for businesses and other essential services. It is estimated Thorpebury will cost approximately £450 million to complete. Building work on the town is expected to take more than a decade. Known as Thorpebury-in-the-Limes, the housing development will provide a mixture of starter homes. A quarter of the homes will be affordable housing across a mix of types . School parking The plans, submitted to Charnwood Borough Council, include details of a two-storey school building on a 4.5-acre site. The school will have parking spaces for 42 vehicles. There will also be playing fields and sports pitches at the site, and a secondary school on land north of Hamilton and east of Thurmaston. The planning documents submitted by Leicestershire Borough Council stated the demand for additional school places arises because of the development of the new homes. Care facility A specialist care facility for the elderly is also being proposed. There will be extensive high-quality landscaping and 30-acres of green spaces. This will include sports pitches, play areas, parkland and new walking and cycling routes. A temporary community cabin was delivered to the site last month to assist anyone looking for more information on the new town. The development of the new town comes as the UK Government unveiled a £100million plan to battle the housing crisis by training 40,000 builders by 2029. Bridget Phillipson, the Education Secretary, warned the housing crisis was being made worse by a lack of construction workers. Support for first-time buyers There are plenty of support schemes that first-time buyers can access to make it easier to get on the ladder. First home schemes If you live in England, the First Homes scheme allows you to buy a property with up to 50% discounted from its market price. To use the scheme, you must be a first-time buyer and be aged 18 or older. And you'll need to earn less than £80,000 a year before tax or £90,000 if the property is in London. Shared ownership Instead of buying a whole property, you instead buy a portion from as little 10% and pay rent to a landlord on the rest through shared ownership schemes. Only buying a share of the home means the deposit and mortgage payments are much smaller. You can then start to increase your stake in the property when you are able to afford it until you own it outright. Availability of shared ownership homes vary depending on area and you may have to show you have a job or links in the location where you want to buy. You can use the scheme in England if your household earns £80,000 a year or less when you're buying outside of London, or £90,000 a year or less when you're buying in London Family assistance Members of your family can help you by gifting a deposit but even if they are not in the position to do this, there are other options such as joint mortgages with relatives or 100% mortgages with parental security. For example, Barclays ' Family Springboard Mortgage allows buyers to get a home without saving a deposit at all when a family member or friend puts up savings worth 10 per cent of the purchase price. The money is returned to the helper after five years as long as the mortgage payments are kept up. Specialist mortgages More lenders are offering innovative mortgages to help buyers get on the ladder. For example, if you can pull together £5,000 for a deposit, you could qualify for Yorkshire Build Society's specialised mortgage for first-time buyers. Borrowers can get a mortgage on properties up to £500,00 with the deal. Or if you rent a home and have a good track record of paying the bill each month, you could qualify for a specialised deal from Skipton Building Society - and you don't need to save a deposit at all. The Track Record 100% mortgage from the lender is available to renters buying their first property. Lifetime ISA (LISA) You can give your savings a boost through a special ISA designed to help people save for either a first home. The account is tax-free and anyone aged between 18-39 can open one. When saving up to £4,000 a year and the government will then add a 25% bonus on top.

Glasgow council asked to reconsider stance on female only taxi firm
A previous attempt to set up such an operation was rejected by the council on the grounds it discriminated against men. Six years ago, a firm called Rosy and Pinks attempted to start up a female-only service, staffed by women drivers and only taking female passengers and their children. READ NEXT:I tried out a new Glasgow cycle lane but one thing is confusing It was in response to some women not feeling safe in a taxi driven and controlled by a man they did not know. The woman behind the plan, Margo Welsh, felt the option of a female driver would be a welcome addition to transport in the city. It was knocked back by councillors at the time and comments included that such a plan would discriminate against men Robert Connolly and Alex Wilson were among those who said it was not suitable for the city when it was proposed in 2019. At that time, Licensing convener Alex Wilson, said: 'If it was the other way round, we would be looking at discrimination against females.' 'The whole not picking up male passengers is a concern to me. I don't think we should discriminate at all. Conservative Councillor, at the time, Robert Connelly, added: 'It is essentially sexism towards males. It doesn't sit right with me.' But since then, changes have been made to the Equality Act that campaigners believe give the go-ahead for such a service to exist. READ NEXT: Glasgow City Council blocks plans to launch female-only taxi service Now, Govan Law Centre has asked the council to reconsider its position on allowing a women-only firm to be licensed. It has stated the Act does not prohibit sex discrimination where a service provider offers separate services for men and women in specific circumstances. One of the circumstances is 'providing the service separately to women and men is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim'. Govan Law Centre said a change to the Equality Act includes a new section on justification of separate and single- sex services. (Image: Newsquest) Lorna Walker, senior solicitor with Govan Law Centre, said: ' We have already highlighted concerns about women travelling alone, late at night and without any control over their physical space in the vehicle, 'where there will be limited ability for women to leave or to chose an alternative service' and there are increased incidences of 'male violence against women' and being in an enclosed space, could put women at a particular disadvantage. 'And given the statistical increase in domestic abuse and rape cases across Glasgow, we are asking again if Glasgow City Council has now changed its policy in light of UK Supreme Court case of For Women Scotland?' A spokesperson for the council, said: 'We have responded to Govan Law Centre on this matter, seeking clarification on a number of points that they raised. We are awaiting further information from them on this matter. 'Taxi and private hire car licensing is regulated through the Civic Government (Scotland) Act, which has created a system of checks and scrutiny for all drivers, vehicles and operators that is focused on ensuring public safety. 'All applications for licences are determined on the merits of an individual case and within the context of the legislation and policies that regulate this area of activity.'
