Ilkley Starbucks sign on pole put up without permission
The cafe is located on the main road into Ilkley from Leeds, on the corner of Wheatley Lane and Collyer View.Loy said: "Thank you to the residents who contacted me about this, and those who submitted representations to the council. "It is completely unacceptable that the signage was installed without permission, and I objected to this application."After discussions with the council, the owner omitted the 9m 'totem pole' from the scheme, so that does not have permission and will now need to be removed."He said if it was not removed "promptly", he would be following the matter up with the planning enforcement department at the council.A report by council planning officers said: "Following discussions with the agent for this application, the totem pole sign has since been omitted from the scheme and a new set of plans submitted for assessment."As the totem pole has been constructed on site prior to the determination of the application, this becomes a matter for an investigation though planning enforcement procedures."Bradford Council and Starbucks have been contacted for comment.

Average five-year mortgage falls below 5% for first time since May 2023
The average five-year fixed-rate mortgage has dipped below 5% for the first time since May 2023, according to new figures. Financial information website Moneyfacts said the average five-year fixed homeowner mortgage rate on Thursday was 4.99%. It is the lowest average since it was 4.98% on May 3 2023, according to the platform. The cost of borrowing has steadily dropped over the past year amid further reductions in interest rates by the Bank of England. The central bank voted to reduce the base interest rate from 4.25% to 4% earlier this month in the third rate cut so far in 2025. Economists have predicted that the interest rate is likely to drop to about 3.5% before steadying. Last week, the average two-year fixed-rate mortgage dipped below 5% for the first time since before former prime minister Liz Truss's so-called mini-budget in September 2022. On Thursday, Moneyfacts said the average two-year fixed residential mortgage rate was 4.97%. Data also showed that lenders are offering more mortgage options for potential customers, with 7,031 residential mortgage products available, up from 6,992 on the previous working day. Earlier this week, official figures showed that house price inflation accelerated last month. The average UK house price increased by 3.7% to £269,000 in the 12 months to June. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) announced an uptick in price growth after a 2.7% rise was reported in the 12 months to May. Meanwhile, average UK monthly private rents increased by 5.9%, to £1,343, in the 12 months to July, the statistics body said.

Save yourself more than £6,000 by taking our Mirror money shopping challenge
Feeling the pinch? You're not alone - bills up, prices rising and budgets squeezed tight, but The Mirror is here with a plan to help you slash costs fast I want you to take five minutes to do something powerful: look at your daily spending and ask yourself one simple question - what can I live without or swap for a cheaper alternative? These aren't life-changing sacrifices, but could give you a healthier bank balance and save money. You will be surprised how much things can mount up. Take your morning Starbucks, for example. Ditching that daily Tall Latte on your way to work could save you a staggering £851 a year. That's a holiday, your energy bill paid, or the breathing room and emergency fund sorted. Thinking of switching your bank account? Many banks offer generous incentives—sometimes up to £200 in cashback - and they handle all the paperwork for you. For example, First Direct is currently offering up to £175 in instant cashback for new customers. You can compare the best deals easily at where many offers also include perks like 12 months of Disney+ (with ads), cinema tickets, or membership to Coffee Club and Gourmet Society. It's simple to find the right deal, and you don't need to be employed to qualify - just meet each bank's specific eligibility criteria, which vary, so be sure to check before switching. Review your subscriptions and regularly audit your direct debits. A 2024 study by TopCashback revealed that the average UK adult spends £620 annually on unused subscriptions alone, meaning your total costs could be even higher. Ask yourself: do you really need both Prime and Netflix? Cancelling just one could save you over £70+ a year. Switch your energy provider. It can lead to significant savings, with potential reductions ranging from £100 to over £500 a year annually, depending on your current tariff, payment method, and energy usage. Check out sites like Take a moment to review your phone contract. Switching to a SIM-only deal or simply negotiating with your current provider could save you £10 to £30 a month. Often, providers offer better rates if you ask, especially when you mention you're considering switching. Uswitch offers a comprehensive comparison of SIM-only deals from major networks and MVNOs like Asda Mobile, giffgaff, Lebara, Smarty, and more. They're updating weekly, and recent research shows that switching to a SIM-only plan could save you up to £351 a year compared to handset contracts. Save money on your NHS prescriptions. See if you would benefit from a Prescription Prepayment Certificate (PPC), which lets you pay a fixed fee for unlimited prescriptions over three or 12 months. A three-month PPC costs about £30.25 and a 12-month PPC around £108.10. If you need more than three prescriptions in three months, the three-month PPC saves you money compared to paying roughly £9.65 per prescription individually. For regular medication users, the 12-month PPC offers even greater savings throughout the year. If you buy two prescriptions every month, a 12-month PPC would save you £123 a year. Brand downshifting. You don't always need to go for the fancy, big-name brands. Downshifting means choosing quality own-label or lesser-known brands that deliver the same results without the hefty price tag. Supermarkets and retailers have upped their game, offering private-label products that often rival branded items—sometimes even better! Many supermarkets own-label products cost about 30% less than their branded equivalents. Say you spend £80 a week on food, so £4,160 a year, that would be a saving of roughly £1,248 a year. Don't forget to haggle. Mastering the art of negotiation can save you a surprising amount, whether you're shopping at a local market, charity shop, or even purchasing big-ticket items. Haggling isn't just for experts—it's a simple skill anyone can practice by asking for discounts, checking for price matches, or inquiring about upcoming sales. With a bit of confidence, you might be amazed at how much you can save. However, it's worth noting that haggling usually doesn't work in large supermarket chains, major department stores, or most online retailers with fixed prices, although sometimes you can negotiate through customer service or by using discount codes. Avoid shopping pitfalls. Supermarkets are experts at getting your money. From strategic product placement to 'buy one get one free' deals that don't save you money, the tricks are everywhere. Learn to spot these pitfalls - stick to your shopping list, check unit prices, and don't get tempted by flashy packaging or end-of-aisle displays. Creative shopping strategies. Think outside the basket when it comes to saving money - bulk buying can be a great way to cut costs on non-perishables and household essentials, but only if you're certain you'll use everything and avoid waste. Meal planning is a smart way to stay efficient and reduce unnecessary spending, while shopping for seasonal produce often offers better value and freshness. If your annual spend on groceries and household essentials is around £3,000, you could save £450 to £900 a year by bulk buying strategically. Families or larger households may see even higher savings, especially on high-use items. Smarter cooking: when shopping think about smarter ways to cook. Want to cut your food bills fast? It's time to get clever in the kitchen. Start by planning your meals and batch cooking for the week ahead. If you usually buy lunch at work, ditching the meal deals could save you a whopping £1,012 a year just by bringing your own. Eating out has become the norm for many, with fast food chains dominating the high street - but it's costing us. The average UK household splashes out £31 a week on takeaways and dining out. Swap the drive-thru for a dinner you've made yourself, and not only will you eat healthier, but you could also save £40 to £60 a week - that's more than £2,000 a year back in your pocket. Get to know your kitchen - it might just be the most valuable room in your home. Loyalty schemes: Don't forget to take full advantage of supermarket loyalty schemes, which can quietly rack up significant savings over the year. For example, Tesco Clubcard users can save between £40 and £150 annually through Clubcard Prices and partner rewards, Sainsbury's Nectar scheme offers around £30 to £100+ in savings, and Lidl Plus users can pocket £50 to £150 through digital coupons and monthly scratchcards. Make sure you're signed up and scanning every time you shop - those points and perks add up. Bottom line? Being a savvy is about knowing a few smart tactics, being mindful of where and how you shop, and making your money work harder for you. Small changes add up. In a year's time, you could be hundreds - even thousands - better off. Start today. Your future self will thank you.

Who decides when and where you work? The battle is raging in Whitehall, and the result may affect us all
Remember Jacob Rees-Mogg, Brexit opportunities and government efficiency minister, lurking round Whitehall offices to leave sarcastic printed cards on any empty desk: 'Sorry you were out when I visited. I look forward to seeing you in the office very soon. With every good wish'? The following year his government ordered the entire civil service to attend the office a minimum of 60% of the time. That has led to strikes and disputes over hybrid working, including at the Land Registry, among Metropolitan police civilians and at the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Covid taught many lessons: one of the best was discovering that people can work flexibly, need not waste time and money commuting, and can take jobs far from home while employers recruit the best from anywhere. The ONS is in so much trouble, from top to toe, you might think they would hasten to resolve this morale-lowering dispute, which appears symptomatic of what went wrong with its recently departed leadership. This week it hit yet more trouble, delaying crucial retail sales figures to carry out further data 'quality assurance'. Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) members have voted yet again to continue their 18-month-old dispute with the ONS: 68% voted for strike action on a 71% turnout. It's been an oddly quiet dispute: staff went on working their usual hybrid patterns, for their usual pay. But ONS bosses feel obliged to follow the 2023 civil service edict to dragoon staff into the office. This time staff are taking zero-attendance action. 'What impact has hybrid working had on the ONS?' I asked the ONS spokesperson: the nation's statisticians should have the best grasp on any research. Being an honest outfit, the press officer said: 'We don't know … We suspect there might be a bad impact, especially on younger staff, but it's hard to quantify.' He said there was flexibility, and department leaders made special arrangements for some. Indeed, I spoke to one half of a couple working for the ONS, who were mystified as to why one of them could work from home while the other had to attend five days a week. The PCS general secretary, Fran Heathcote, argued last year that 'applying arbitrary targets on office attendance doesn't increase productivity and is unpopular with staff'. She said that if the government 'want a motivated, hard-working workforce, ministers should trust their own employees to have some say over their working conditions'. The employees are mostly data analysts, many not only with maths or science bachelor degrees, but masters too: I spoke to one among many with PhDs. They are hard to recruit and harder to retain: other government departments pay more and the private sector a lot more. That makes flexibility and good treatment especially valuable. Autonomy and flexibility are so highly prized that research from the global expert Nick Bloom, a British professor of economics at Stanford University, suggests that people value it as much as an 8% pay increase, making them happier and more productive when working partly from home. Women are far more likely to quit if forced back to full-time office working: compelling a daily commute narrows their choices and widens the pay gap. This is a dilemma mostly of the higher-paid. About 60% of the workforce are fully at their place of work: you can't serve in a shop, teach, nurse, care, cook, keep the sewers and electricity flowing or build from home. From scaffolders to surgeons, many have no choice, but the office-based are more likely to be graduates. WFH has settled into an average of a quarter of all working days, a revolutionary five-fold increase on pre-Covid figures. At first sight, Nigel Farage seems again to miss the popular heartbeat when he pledges 'no more working from home' in the 10 councils his party controls. It was enjoyably typical that his party was caught out advertising nine organising jobs as 'home working with occasional travel'. But he does catch that macho management spirit, anti-civil service, anti-office workers, anti-graduates by implication. It's a class gesture. It chimes with the Trump-Musk assault echoed among the titans: JP Morgan Chase, BlackRock, Amazon and UPS re-imposed five days in the office. Google's co-founder Sergey Brin sent a memo claiming, '60 hours is the sweet spot of productivity'. Like most posturing, this suggests insecurity and incapacity among managers: if they can't see hands on keyboards, how do they know work is done? Some employers need to catch up with Angela Rayner's radical shift in power towards the workforce, arriving soon with her employment rights bill. Employers will need to give good reasons for refusing what the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) predicts will be more than a third asking for flexible and hybrid working. For those rooted to their workplace, they suggest alternatives such as compressed working in four-day weeks. Many employers do get the message: 41% tell a CIPD survey that increased home/hybrid working has led to increased productivity/efficiency; only 16% say the opposite. In a country where the best jobs are concentrated in London and the south-east, where housing is beyond the reach of most, hybrid working opens the door to the most competitive roles without the associated housing and commuting costs, letting employers choose from far afield. Flexibility has to work both ways – but most people want good contact with their offices. Sadly I hear of young people with London jobs wanting to work more from their office but unable to afford the commute. The ONS could lead the way out of this Rees-Mogg nonsense. Its confession that neither its employment figures nor its wealth statistics are reliable enough to use follows a devastating inquiry by the Commons public administration committee whose chair described a grossly dysfunctional hierarchy where the chief statistician behaved like a 'hybrid of a Medici prince and Blofeld' in a 'boosterish chumocracy', while the ONS itself reported poor communication between the leadership and junior staff. Earlier this month the ONS acquired a new permanent secretary, with a chance to blow away old management and civil service attitudes. The PCS is optimistic. Abandoning needless presenteesism, the ONS might win back prizes it used to earn as a 'best place to work'. All this is a destructive and pointless tug of war over power. Managers may prefer to see people at desks, but for many who take jobs while carefully calculating rents, house prices, commuting costs and childcare complexities, flexibility is not a nice-to-have feature but the difference between taking and leaving a job. It matters far more to the staff than to the Rees-Mogg/Faragist macho management poseurs. Roll on Rayner's new law. Polly Toynbee is a Guardian columnist
