Green light for Ayr church annex plan
Religious leaders at the church in John Street previously lodged a planning application with South Ayrshire Council, seeking permission for the works. A plan to make alterations and build an extension to Riverside Evangelical Church in Ayr has been approved. Religious leaders at the church in John Street previously lodged a planning application with South Ayrshire Council, seeking permission for the works. Now those proposals have been given the green light. Agents in the proposals were Hamilton-based Angus Design Associates. A supporting statement read: 'Riverside Church plays a key part in meeting the physical, spiritual, emotional and social needs of its local community. 'On a Sunday morning we have over 200 people gathered - representing a wide spectrum of age and background. 'Throughout the week we have a busy programme of activities that we either run or host, attracting more people and meeting a wide variety of need. 'To maintain and build on this success, the time has come to redevelop and improve our facilities. 'Our current 'halls' are not only tired but would require significant structural work to remain usable and fit for purpose. 'We have developed plans with the needs of service users and providers at the forefront of our ambition.' The application states that the proposed new annexe will be 'more accessible' to people with impaired mobility and will provide a 'flexible range of rooms and spaces' of different sizes to accommodate the needs of different types of activity. The supporting statement continues: 'As well as the types of activity one might expect a church to run – worship events, study groups, children's clubs, parents and toddler groups, youth activities, etc – we also provide a range of practical services. 'As a church- and through our charity Riverside Community Trust- we work in partnership with (among others) South Ayrshire Alcohol and Drug Partnership, Seascape Housing Support, Housing 1st (SAC), Working for Wallacetown, NHS South Ayrshire Treatment and Recovery Team (START), Connect 4 Change, NHS Oral Health Team, Circles Advocacy, Ayr Housing Aid, Outside Clinic Opticians, Fuel Bank Foundation, Christians Against Poverty, The Gaiety Theatre and SAC's Community Learning & Development. 'The new annexe will provide accommodation more appropriate to the services we offer. The modern welcoming environment will help enhance the self-worth of clients who are often struggling due to mental health issues, trauma, poverty, homelessness, and drug or alcohol issues. 'We provide a home to an ESOL group made up of refugees and immigrants from a variety of nations. We also accommodate groups for people who suffer from severe anxiety and other potentially life-limiting mental health conditions.' The statement adds: 'Our various activities help enhance inclusion, and assist people in overcoming social isolation. The new annexe will allow us to develop a warm and welcoming space where people can get a free meal, and get help or advice on a range of issues including personal debt, health, fuel poverty, addictions and housing problems. 'The plans also include purpose-built office facilities for our staff who work both in the church and on outreach in the local community. 'The enhanced facilities will also assist us in expanding our services to children and young people, and allow us to provide suitable amenities for training events for local businesses, charities and other groups. 'We would also hope to run more concerts,conferences, film nights and other events of interest to members of the church and local community.' The plans have been designed in a way that will protect the capacity of the church car park, and the demolition of the existing hall will allow staff to provide additional parking spaces– taking traffic away from neighbouring streets.

Zillow did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

CoStar said Zillow also distributes some photos under syndication agreements to rival portals and Redfin, owned respectively by News Corp (NWSA.O), opens new tab and Rocket Cos (RKT.N), opens new tab.

In 2019, CoStar obtained a $500 million judgment against the bankruptcy estate of real estate listing platform Xceligent over the publication of 38,489 copyrighted photos, court records show. Xceligent had filed to liquidate two years earlier. CoStar threatened to sue and Redfin if they do not remove its copyrighted photos.

National Lottery 36-hour pause will allow ‘biggest tech upgrade' since launch
All draw game sales and prize claims will be paused in shops across the UK from 11pm on Saturday night following the Lotto and Thunderball draws until 'late Monday morning', operator Allwyn said. The National Lottery website and app will also be down over the same period. Allwyn advised players to buy draw tickets, check results and claim prizes before 11pm on Saturday and warned that they would not be able to log into their online accounts, buy draw tickets or claim prizes – in-store or online – until Monday. Players will be able to check results until systems go offline and will still be able to buy Scratchcards. They will also be able to see the latest draws and view the full results for the Saturday draws on the National Lottery's YouTube channel. During the pause, Allwyn will transfer and upgrade the National Lottery's gaming and retail systems to new platforms. However, it warned that a 'small proportion' of in-store terminals could experience delays coming back up if certain upgrade processes are interrupted for various reasons. The Czech-based Allwyn group – which took over the 10-year licence to run the lottery from Camelot in February last year – said the systems and in-store terminals powering The National Lottery dated back to 2009, 'before iPads, Uber and Instagram', which now needed to be modernised to deliver on 'ambitious' plans for a National Lottery 'fit for the future'. Allwyn chief executive Andria Vidler said: 'This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver The National Lottery that the UK deserves. 'We're making unprecedented and much-needed changes, which will move us closer to achieving our vision for The National Lottery, restoring its magic and significantly increasing its positive impact on lives across the UK. 'These major upgrades will mean short-term disruption for players and our retail partners but they will allow us to deliver on our promise to bring new, exciting games, a better player experience and our commitment to double returns to Good Causes from £30 million to £60 million every week by the end of the 10-year licence.' The switchover has been beset by delays after Allwyn took over the licence, which has held back the launch of new draw-based games. It was unable to switch to a new technology provider after agreeing to extend the contract for the existing supplier, International Games Technology (IGT). IGT had challenged the Gambling Commission's decision to award Allwyn the 10-year licence in court, but later dropped the legal action. Allwyn has previously admitted that delays to the new games it had hoped to introduce in 2024 will hold back the amount of money it can give to good causes in the early part of its 10-year licence. But the group remained committed to its long-term goal to double money for good causes, despite falling short of early targets.
