Plans to convert historic County Durham brewery into apartments submitted
Plans to convert a historic brewery building into apartments have been submitted. Proposals, submitted by Mr Tony O'Brien, would transform the disused Blackhill Brewery building on Park Road in Blackhill, Consett, into six apartments for social, affordable, or intermediate rent. The derelict building is part of the Blackhill Conservation Area and has historical significance. Built in the late Victorian era by Richard Murray, it has links to regional brewing history and features carved busts of historical figures and a prominent symmetrical façade. An engineer confirmed the building's structural integrity, although it is vacant and deteriorating, with issues including vandalism, infestation, and previous illicit use. The restoration plan aims to preserve the building's historical character. The exterior will be retained, with the stone façade cleaned and repaired.

A rear grassed area is to be converted into 12 car parking spaces, including two disabled spaces, and a secure bin store. The area is assumed to be council-owned, and a lease will be required. The application was declared complete on June 26 and is now under consideration by Durham County Council, which will decide in the coming weeks.

Car driven by gunmen found days after Fort Lauderdale triple shooting, police say
Fort Lauderdale police say detectives found the car driven by suspects in a shooting atop a Las Olas parking garage early Sunday morning that left three people wounded, but they have not made any arrests. A group of friends was hanging out in the garage at the 200 block of Las Olas Circle around 1:30 a.m. when several people approached them and started shooting, according to police. The wounded — Richard Murray, 19, Janacia Davis, also 19, and 18-year-old Aamori McGann — were taken by car to Broward Health Medical Center. Police have not updated their conditions as of Wednesday. Police have not released a description of the car located by detectives. Celeste Thompson, Richard Murray's mother, told the Herald that the group of friends gathered to say goodbye to an Army soldier friend who was scheduled to deploy on an assignment.

One bullet that entered his leg traveled upward and caused damage to his stomach, Thompson said. The Florida Atlantic University business and finance student had a third surgery Tuesday morning, his mother said. Thompson said the other two victims have since been released from the hospital. Right before the attack, Murray and his friends were listening to music and looking over Las Olas. Thompson said the shooters were wearing masks and trying to rob her son and his friends. The shooting occurred hours before the Florida Panthers' Stanley Cup parade on the beach, but Detective Ali Adamson, a Fort Lauderdale police spokeswoman, said the attack appeared unrelated to the celebration and called it an 'isolated incident.' Anyone with information about the shooting should contact Fort Lauderdale Police Department at 954-828-5700 or Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
