Council 'disappointed' with Premier Inn over new Aberystwyth signs
Officers said that the painting of the building 'does not form part of this application and is not relevant', and added on Welsh translation having priority that 'as this is a replacement signage scheme, and that Welsh is already clearly shown on the signage, it is not proposed in this instance to require this, however the point is noted.'

The 1p hack to make sure your fridge is in good working order
The 1p hack to make sure your fridge is in good working order Beko has offered a top tip to home owners UK households are being advised to put a sheet of A4 paper in their fridges this week. With forecasts predicting a return of the heatwave, expecting temperatures to soar to 29C in Wales by the end of the week, some might be unprepared for the blistering heat and its side effects on household appliances, potentially leading to unnecessary expenditures. One often-overlooked consequence of the hot weather is its effect on food and beverage storage and consequently the entire fridge unit. White goods manufacturer Beko has warned that a prevalent fridge issue could result in a considerable amount of food spoilage due to faster expiration in elevated temperatures. This is particularly true if your fridge seal has worn out due to age, affecting its proper functioning. Compromised seals not only push up energy bills as the fridge strives to maintain cool temperatures but also increase wear and tear on the appliance, speeding up food decay. To ascertain if you're affected simply enlist the aid of an A4 paper strip, reports the Express. Beko advised: "One issue that may arise with your fridge is wear and tear on the door seal. Article continues below "A worn-out door seal can prevent the refrigerator door from closing properly, causing the cooling system to work harder to keep your groceries fresh. "This can lead to increased energy consumption and potential damage to your fridge and its temperature settings. "Warm air entering your fridge can overwhelm the cooling system, especially during hot summer days." Head of product management at Beko UK, Salah Sun, advised: "To check if your fridge door is functioning correctly, use a piece of paper. "You can buy paper for as little as 1p or use any paper you have at home. "Place the paper against the door seal and close the door. When you try to pull the paper out, you should feel some resistance. Article continues below "If the paper slides out easily, your door seal may need replacing." Met Office maps have shown the exact Welsh locations set for major weather swing this week. Temperatures are set to rise significantly in the coming days, with the mercury potentially hitting 29C by Friday. For Wales to have a heatwave, it has to be 25C for three days in a row.
