North Lincolnshire councillors reject 'super council' proposals
'A distraction'
Mr Waltham said the council restructure could end initiatives like free parking in Ashby, Brigg, and Scunthorpe, and the Imagination Library scheme, which provided books to young children.Community grants and road investment could also be cut, he said.Mr Waltham added that relocating the council away from Scunthorpe might weaken local government support for the town's steel industry."We are keen to make sure we continue to support our communities, making sure that we continue to create better paid jobs, invest in support for leisure and play facilities and to keep listening and working with local people," he said."The thought that super councils could undermine this great work and ignore the views of our residents and communities is a distraction that we will no longer have."

The BMW iX3 is about to make a BIG comeback
An 800V electrical architecture will mean the iX3's battery will also be able to charge at up to 400kW, enabling a 218-mile top-up in just 10 minutes from suitable chargers. Two powertrains will be available when the iX3 arrives in the UK early next year: a single-motor, rear-wheel-drive one and a dual-motor, four-wheel drive one that can deliver up to 402bhp. The second-generation iX3 also receives a new computing system that is 10 times faster than the network of chips in current BMWs. In addition, to maximise interior space within this set-up and to keep vehicle height as low as possible to aid aerodynamics, BMW will unusually bolt the front seats directly to the pack – another first for the firm. Visually, the new iX3 will draw on the original Neue Klasse models from the 1960s and return to small kidney grilles rather than the bolder, more expansive front ends that adorn the likes of the iX. The double-kidney grille will divide a large, gloss black panel on the iX3's front end – similar in style to the Vizor found on Vauxhalls. The panel is likely to conceal the sensors and cameras required by the latest generation of driver assistance systems. The rest of the car will feature a boxier, more chiselled look than today's models, with angled lights front and rear, plus a rear light bar. The reinvention continues inside the iX3, which will be the fi rst car to employ BMW's new iDrive X system.

British rockets to launch for first time in 50 years
British rockets will launch for the first time in 50 years. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) announced it had granted the first-ever vertical launch licence to Skyrora, a UK-based company, which will allow 16 flights from the SaxaVord spaceport in Shetland. It would be Britain's first vertical launch since the Black Arrow programme in the 1970s, in which a handful of UK rockets were fired from Woomera in Australia, including one that took the Prospero satellite into space. The licence is for Skyrora's suborbital rocket, Skylark, which can reach 62 miles high and could carry small payloads, such as scientific experiments that need access to space-like conditions. For example, observing the effects of cells in microgravity. The company is also planning a larger rocket that would place satellites into orbit. Mike Kane, the aviation and space minister, said: 'I am thrilled we've reached this important milestone in the UK space sector, and I congratulate Skyrora for being the first UK company to receive a rocket launch licence. 'This is the kind of scientific innovation and exploration that will help the UK cement itself as a global player in the space race.' Britain first began developing space rockets in the 1950s, as a way of repurposing Blue Streak ballistic missiles, which were developed as a nuclear deterrent. UK engineers had even contemplated using the rocket to put British people on the Moon and drew up plans for an Apollo-style programme that would have beaten the US to the lunar surface and established a Moon base. The launch programme was cancelled at the beginning of the 1970s after it was deemed less expensive to use American rockets to send satellites into orbit. Earlier this year, the CAA granted the first vertical licence to the German company Rocket Factory Augsburg (RFA) and had also previously licensed Virgin Orbit for horizontal launch before the company folded following a failed launch from Cornwall. UK-based Orbex has also applied for a launch licence but it has not yet been granted. Rob Bishton, chief executive of the CAA, said: 'Granting a home-grown company, Skyrora, its launch licence is a major milestone for our space sector and our nation. 'Our work as the UK's space regulator is enabling the burgeoning launch industry to safely grow, bringing new jobs and investment with it.' It is likely that RFA will beat Skyrora to launch from Britain, but both companies have faced setbacks in recent years. In Oct 2022, Skyrora attempted to launch Skylark from Iceland, but a software problem led to it falling into the sea shortly after lift-off. Likewise, an RFA rocket exploded on the launchpad at SaxaVord during testing last summer. The CAA said that it would be closely monitoring operations to ensure that Skyrora met all the requirements for launch. The company is aiming to do the initial test-firing of this rocket's first stage this year. Volodymyr Levykin, the chief executive of Skyrora, said: 'Skyrora is proud to be leading efforts that enable launch activity from the UK and we look forward to achieving a reliable commercial launch programme that benefits us all.' The licence comes with a number of conditions that will need to be met before launch including adequate insurance, a data-sharing agreement with the UK Government, satisfactory arrangements with SaxaVord, and airspace agreements with other countries. Dr Paul Bate, chief executive of the UK Space Agency, said: 'Congratulations to Skyrora. This demonstrates the growing strength of our domestic launch capabilities, and the thriving commercial space economy we are building across the country.'

Britain has lost 1,100 pubs and restaurants since Budget
Britain has lost more than 1,100 pubs and restaurants since Rachel Reeves's Budget, underlining the devastating impact of the Chancellor's tax raid on the hospitality sector. Bars, restaurants, clubs and pubs are closing at a rate of two every day according to new figures from data providers CGA and AlixPartners, with 1,122 venues shutting since last October alone. Graeme Smith, of AlixPartners, said: 'After a period of relative stability for pub and restaurant businesses last year, the first half of 2025 has proved more challenging, with the net closure rate increasing again – the big question for hospitality is what happens from here.' The step-up in closures comes after the Chancellor raised costs for employers in her October Budget, with the changes coming into force from April. Hospitality businesses have been hit particularly hard by changes to employer National Insurance contributions. The headline rate rose from 13.8pc to 15pc, while the threshold at which employers must start paying it fell from £9,100 to £5,000 per year. It means employers must pay the tax on the wages of many part-time staff who until recently were exempt. Estimates suggest the rise in National Insurance contributions has added £1bn to hospitality wage bills. Meanwhile, Ms Reeves's decision to increase the minimum wage by 6.7pc has pushed up costs for the hospitality sector by £1.9bn. Kate Nicholls, the chairman of UKHospitality, said the new figures showed in 'the starkest terms the impact of government-driven cost pressures '. She added: 'Two hospitality venues closing every day is not just a statistic; it represents the hollowing out of our high streets and communities. Independent businesses, the lifeblood of our sector, are being disproportionately crushed under the weight of unfair taxation and soaring employment costs.' The UK now has 98,746 licenced hospitality venues, including sports and social clubs. That total is down by more than 16,000 since before the Covid pandemic hit in March 2020. Ms Nicholls said the sector faced 'the very real risk of being taxed out of existence'. The new figures come amid mounting concerns that the Chancellor's planned shake-up of business rates will pile further pressure on large hospitality companies. Ms Reeves is planning to impose higher levies on companies with bigger premises in order to reduce the rates paid by businesses with smaller sites. Large pub groups including JD Wetherspoon and Fuller's have warned that the planned shake-up will trigger more closures. Sir Tim Martin, Wetherspoon's chairman, said: 'Higher business rates will exacerbate the already ferocious tax disadvantage that pubs are currently labouring under, inevitably resulting in increased home consumption and less pubs.' The British Beer and Pub Association has suggested that one pub would shut every day across Britain this year. CGA's figures show restaurants have seen the most closures over the past year: 633 closed in the year to June, while more than 100 casual dining chain branches and 326 gastropubs have shut. Ms Nicholls demanded 'urgent, decisive action to relieve the burden on a sector that should be a powerful engine for economic growth and job creation across the entire country'. Andrew Griffith, the shadow business secretary, said: 'The revelation that hospitality venues are closing at the rate of two every day as a result of this Government's choices is very concerning. 'It shows how these staples of high streets and communities are hitting breaking point under the weight of hikes in rates, jobs taxes and employment costs. If everyone in Whitehall worked a shift or two in hospitality this summer, they might understand this better.' A government spokesman said a recent survey by Lloyds Bank suggested UK business confidence was 'the highest in ten years', adding: 'We know the vital importance of hospitality which is why we are protecting pavement pints and al fresco dining, have cut alcohol duty on draught pints and are reforming business rates. 'The tax decisions we took at the Budget last year mean that we have been able to deliver on the priorities of the British people, from investing in the NHS to cutting lists as we deliver on the Plan for Change.'
