Scottish town ranked among UK's cheapest places for fish and chips
Fish and chips no longer come cheap, but this Scottish town still serve it for a bargain Scotland's cheapest city for a chippy tea has been revealed, and it is good news for hungry Dundonians. A new nationwide ranking by WDW Bingo has crowned Dundee the third most affordable place in the UK to enjoy a portion of fish and chips, with an average price of just £9.47. The survey analysed thousands of traditional chip shop menus in more than 50 towns and cities ahead of National Fish and Chip Day, which takes place on June 6, Express reports. The classic British favourite has long been a staple of seaside holidays and Friday nights, but in recent years the cost of a fish supper has been steadily creeping up. While once a cheap treat, it is fast becoming a pricey indulgence, depending on where you live. Manchester came out on top as the most budget-friendly place for fish and chips, with an average cost of just £8.94, while Walsall took second place at £9.17. Dundee secured third spot, beating the likes of Derby (£9.70), Bradford (£9.87) and Stoke-on-Trent (£9.88), which all still offer a portion of the classic for under a tenner. Glasgow landed in tenth place on the list with an average price of £10.37, while Aberdeen and Edinburgh were a little further down, at £10.67 and £10.93 respectively. Harrison Score, Head of WDW Bingo, said: 'Fish and chips are more than just a meal – they're a national institution. Whether you're paying under a tenner in Manchester or splashing out in Exeter, it's a dish enjoyed by generations across the UK. 'At WDW Bingo, we know all about chasing the best odds, and when it comes to value for your fish supper, it pays to know where your chances are highest of bagging a low-cost meal. 'The data shows that the North dominates the top 10 cheap eat locations for this iconic dish. It's also interesting that no seaside towns make the cut for cheaper chippies.' At the other end of the scale, Exeter was named the most expensive city for fish and chips, with an eye-watering average price of £16.55, nearly double the cost in Manchester. London came in close behind at £16.29, showing that the capital's high cost of living even extends to its takeaways. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The South West featured prominently among the priciest places, with Torquay (£15.60) and Bristol (£13.99) both making the list. Ipswich (£13.86), Bournemouth and Southend-on-Sea (both £13.43), and Cambridge (£13.37) also ranked among the most expensive. Belfast completed the top ten, with an average price of £13.21. The findings come just days after Scotland's top chippy was crowned in the annual Scottish Takeaway Awards. Sea Salt and Sole, which operates four locations in Aberdeen and the surrounding area, took home the title for best fish and chip shop. The team prides itself on serving up fresh haddock daily, with a focus on sustainable sourcing and traditional preparation to deliver a top-notch supper.

Dramatic cut in parking spaces on new housing estates in Midlothian
Parking spaces on new housing estates and other developments in Midlothian are set to be dramatically cut in a bid to crackdown on private car use. New parking standards for developers in the county reduce the number of visitor spaces required in new residential site from one for every two houses to no more than one for every 20 homes. And they will reduce the number of spaces for users of new sports facilities with golf courses to be told they can have no more than two spaces per hole and any stadium built with over 1500 capacity allowed no more than one space for every 150 seats. A report due to go before Midlothian Council's planning committee next week for agreement says the new standards have been influenced by the Scottish Government's goal of reducing private car use. It says previous policy which advised developers the minimum number of spaces required for housing will be replaced with new rules setting out the maximum allowed. It will reduce the number of visitor spaces at residential estates to just five per cent of the number of homes – one in 20 – in towns with rural developments allowed up to 10 per cent. The report says: 'A consequence of the proposed new parking standards is that provision of car parking will be reduced across new developments, including in new residential developments. 'The parking standard will apply across a whole development; it will therefore be incumbent on those developing proposals to accommodate the parking standards within the design of the whole development.' As well as reducing the number of visitor parking spaces allowed, the new standards also require that 10 per cent of those provided have an electric charger in place, however to qualify for that in towns the development would have to have at least 200 new homes built. The report says the new parking standards were put through a 'targeted consultation' which involved community councils, Homes for Scotland and internal sections of the council. They cover new build larger stadiums which face a change of one parking space for every 15 seats to one for every 150 seats swimming pools being allowed a maximum of one space per 25 square metres when it used to be a minimum of one every 10 square metres and golf courses reduced from two and a half spaces per hole to two spaces. Minimum cycle parking places and EV charger spaces will also be introduced across all new developments. Councillors will be asked to agree to the new standards next week.

Martin Lewis: How to cut council tax bills and get a rebate
On X, he said: "Moving or just moved house? One of the most important things you should do is check whether you're in the right council tax band. You only have six months to make a formal challenge, after that its much trickier. "(Renters can do this too, though courtesy would indicate you notify the landlord)."

This means it's important to check your property's in the right band – something our tried-and-tested system can help you do.
