Six static caravans approved for Primrose Valley Holiday Park
Filey Town Council also refused to support the application because of the "loss of amenity and green space" for residents, as well as "increased traffic and insufficient parking provision". According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, each new caravan pitch will have two car parking spaces and the development includes decking, associated access, landscaping, and infrastructure works.A report prepared by the council stated the proposal was visually proportionate to the existing caravan site.It said the planned units were "low-level structures and inoffensive" that would be well-integrated into the area.Planning officers said they did not consider there would be an undue un-neighbourly impact.They concluded that while the comments made by the town council and caravan owners at the park were noted, the majority of issues raised concern about the management of the park, not particularly this proposal.

Hundreds of flights cancelled across Europe this week – with up to 36,000 Brits affected
FLIGHT cancellations across Europe are set to affect thousands of Brits heading abroad this week. Airlines including easyJet, Ryanair and Air France have been forced to cancel flights today and tomorrow due to French ATC strikes over working conditions and pay. 3 This means that as many as 200 flights to and from the UK will be impacted each day on July 3 and July 4, according to AirAdvisor. This works out to as many as 36,000 Brits. Ryanair has cancelled 170 flights in total, which is expected to disrupt over 30,000 passengers. The airline has also claimed that the strikes in France will disrupt passengers flying over French airspace too, en route to other destinations such as Greece and Spain. Ryanair's CEO Michael O'Leary said: "Once again European families are held to ransom by French Air Traffic Controllers going on strike. "It is not acceptable that overflights over French airspace en route to their destination are being cancelled/delayed as a result of yet another French ATC strike. "It makes no sense and is abundantly unfair on EU passengers and families going on holidays." In comparison, easyJet has been forced to cancel 22 UK touching flights today and 38, so far, for tomorrow. Across Europe the airline has made 124 cancellations in total for today and 150 so far, for tomorrow. An easyJet spokesperson said: "As required by the French authorities (DGAC) easyJet proactively cancelled some flights in advance and customers were contacted directly with options to transfer to another flight for free or a refund. "While this is outside of our control, we will do all we can to minimise the impact of the strike action. Flight cancelled or delayed? Top tips for handling travel disruptions "On behalf of our passengers we are extremely unhappy with the strike action, particularly given the current performance of French ATC which has been the leading cause of airspace delays in Europe this summer. "Long term solutions must be found for our customers and crew who suffer repeated disruption." The strike, which is being led by UNSA-INCA and SNCTA unions, will involve 60-70 per cent of ATCs. Anton Radchenko, aviation expert and founder of AirAdvisor explained that the strikes will also cause the airspace to narrow, and as a result the backlog will spread quickly to hubs like Heathrow, Gatwick, and Manchester. He said: "What many travellers underestimate is how vulnerable short-haul schedules are to even minor disruptions. 3 "Unlike long-haul routes, where airlines often have contingency buffers, short-haul flights operate on tight rotations." For example, one delay in Lyon or Marseille could lead to a ripple effect that cancels a Stansted departure six hours later. He continued: "My top advice is to travel with full situational awareness. "If your itinerary connects through France or overflies its airspace, even to destinations like Italy or Spain, check with your airline daily, not just the night before. "Take screenshots of every notification, keep every receipt, and escalate immediately if your flight is cancelled. "Under EU261, you're owed assistance even if you're not owed financial compensation, but you have to know how to ask." New EU rules also mean Brits will now get less compensation if their flight is delayed. Plus, Ryanair has warned of record flight delays this summer. 3

All my little-known tricks for cheap tickets that top UK attractions DON'T advertise
THE summer holidays are just around the corner, and as the queen of money-saving mums, I've compiled a list of my favourite tricks for saving cash on day trips in the UK. Like lots of parents, I love to treat my three boys to fun family days out over the long summer break - but budget constraints mean I have to search for the best value passes and tickets. 5 From twilight tickets to summer passes, here are a few hidden hacks that I've used over the years to make our money stretch further. Twilight tickets With the long summer days in full flow, sometimes it makes sense to head to an outdoor attraction later in the day. Often, there are fewer visitors and the sun isn't at full strength, especially as daylight stretches well into the evening now. This makes it less hot and sweaty, and much better if you have young children or babies with you. We love a trip to Gulliver's, which offers rides and play aplenty at four sites in Derbyshire, Milton Keynes, Rotherham and Warrington. Depending on the site, tickets in the summer holidays can cost £22.50 to £24.50 per person. But, if a full day out is a bit too much for your family, you can get an afternoon ticket from 2pm to 5pm for £15 or £16. At Milton Keynes, there's also the option of paying £18 to visit the dino and farm park next door from midday and then go into the theme park from 2pm onwards. This is ideal if you are in a group with different-aged children. Norfolk Museums have cut-price twilight tickets for the last hour of opening at places like Norwich Castle or the Elizabethan House in Great Yarmouth from £1.50 to £2.50 per person. We love popping into the atmospheric Time and Tide Museum in Great Yarmouth, which has loads of hands-on activities that tell the town's tale of fishing, seafaring and tourism. A twilight ticket means a family of four only pays £10 for a visit instead of £28.40 - perfect to while away an hour after spending the day on the beach. Puxton Park near Weston-super-Mare offers a £6 twilight ticket for its last two hours of opening, giving access to its soft play, adventure zones and animal park. A family of four normally costs either £46 or £62 for a full day in the summer holidays. Summer season tickets Lots of visitor sites now offer summer passes that include unlimited entry over the long school holidays, which can be excellent value for money if you're planning to make repeat visits. At Statfold Country Park in the Midlands, the new steam into summer pass costs £70 for a family of four and covers train rides, entry to the National Fairground Museum, soft play and mini golf until the end of September. To visit for a day in the summer holidays would cost £57.50, so it's well worth buying the pass, even if you'll only use it twice. Farm parks can be a fantastic choice if you're looking for a summer pass. At Lee Valley Animal Adventure Park in Essex, two adults and two children can visit unlimited times from July 5 to August 31 for £62.97, compared to paying £42.96 for entry for one day over the school holidays. And we've also had great value passes in the past for soft play centres, which tend to be quieter in the summer months when people are outdoors more. If you live near one of the 70 pubs that host a Wacky Warehouse, you can buy a month-long pass for £14 per child for access to the soft play, with discounts if you buy more than one pass at the same time. 5 Weekly or fortnightly passes If you're holidaying away from home, some attractions in tourist hotspots offer weekly or fortnightly tickets to encourage families to make return visits while they are in the area. Down in Cornwall, you can upgrade a day ticket to visit the Lost Gardens of Heligan into a weekly pass for free on arrival at the ticket office. A ticket booked in advance for a family of four costs £75.50, so you'll want to make the most of your entry fee by visiting several times if possible. If you're heading to Scotland for your holidays, the Historic Scotland Explorer Pass is £100 for two adults and up to three children aged 7-15 for 14 days. It covers entry to lots of sites such as Skara Brae in Orkney and Edinburgh Castle, which by itself costs £74 prebooked or £82 on the day for two adults and three children. So if you're visiting the castle and a couple of other sites, the Explorer Pass could be the perfect way to save money. In Devon, Woodlands theme park offers a seven-day wristband for £123 for a family of four, compared to £86.72 for one-day entry. 5 End of summer sale When my boys were young, we used to love chugging around the tracks at Audley End Miniature Railway near Saffron Walden in Essex. But with tickets costing £18 per person this August, it can be quite an expensive day out, especially towards the end of the school holidays when funds are dwindling and you'll need to buy new school uniform for the academic year ahead. Last summer, the visitor attraction offered 30 per cent off for the last week in August, making a final day of family fun before the kids go back to school more affordable. It's worth waiting to book your tickets to see if a similar discount code is available this year, as it could take tickets for me and my three boys from £72 down to £50. Another place I like to look out for discount codes is at indoor attractions like waterparks or adventure golf. These tend to be quieter over the summer months while people are out and about in the warm weather, so they sometimes do discounts at the end of the summer to get visitors back in before the autumn. We often visit Moorways Sports Village in Derby using discount codes, which can take the price for a waterpark session down to £8 per person. That's a similar price to a round of indoor adventure golf near us, which sometimes offers a 20 per cent discount code towards the end of the school holidays. Sign up for the social media pages of your local attractions to make sure you hear about these offers when they are launched. It's also a great time to look at venturing further afield to places where term time has already begun and prices have returned to off-peak. If you live south of the Scottish border, it could be worth heading north at the end of August as schools in Scotland start back in the middle of the month. Here in Leicestershire, we have a similar situation, with prices dropping for the last week of August once term has begun, even though all the children in neighbouring counties are still off school. So make sure you do your summer holiday maths and work out what ticket works best for your family before you splash the cash. Waiting until the last-minute to book a twilight ticket or use an end of summer discount code could be better for your budget. Paying a bit more upfront could end up saving you a pretty penny in the long run. 5

I've visited 24,000 boozers & knocked back 60,000 pints on ‘world's longest pub crawl' – here are my top 5 picks in UK
A REAL ale fan celebrated visiting visiting 24,000 boozers and downing 60,000 pints after more than 40 years on the "world's longest pub crawl". Peter Hill, from West Bromwich, drank to his 69th birthday after reaching his milestone at the Elephant & Castle in the West Midlands on June 20. 9 9 9 The father-of-two has travelled 400,000 miles across the country, and averaged 11 pubs each week, since starting on his expedition in 1984. This involved having a pint on 69 islands around the UK, visiting a boozer in every British county, and drinking at very pub in Wales. When Peter started, a pint cost 64p. Where it all started Peter started testing out different boozers with his mates when they got bored of drinking at the same one all the time, and they soon became known as the Black Country Ale Tairsters. After testing out a different pub from a map that was given out by the local Banks brewery in Wolverhampton, the Black Country Ale Tairsters then set out to visit all 300 pubs listed. Peter then had the aim of of visiting every pub on the CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) guide. "Then we sort of said 'shall we get to 1,000?' - then it was 2,000, then 3,000 and it just never stopped from there." The now retired engineer, Peter, eventually entered record books by trekking to all corners of Britain. His group set a record for the longest pub crawl, but that was never the main focus for Peter. He began to raise money for charities, like children's hospitals and the Air Ambulance, and raised over £35,000 over the years as each challenge became more and more ambitious. Britain's cheapest Wetherspoons' pint revealed Peter said: "It's been a great adventure and I've met some amazing people along the way. "I'm not sure if I'll ever stop, as I still really enjoy it. "There's still hundreds of pubs to go, so I'll keep on going while I can." Whilst numbers in the Black Country Ale Tairsters have gone up and down as life has gone on, Peter has persevered with the expedition, sometimes even going by himself. "We used to get a little drunk in the early days but it's more of a mature hobby now and I always take it easy and pace myself. We don't drink to excess," he added. "I mainly stick to the real ales but we'll try the odd stout and mild too. It's brilliant fun, you can't be a good pub." "I love the characters you meet." One of the rooms in Hills' home now contains 280-arch lever files which log every pub with pictures, menus and other memorabilia from the adventures. What makes a good pub For Peter, the best kinds of pubs are the "old-fashioned traditional boozers". He likes when then have just a couple of rooms, and provide a warm welcome too. He added: "And it helps if they have a good beer on." 9 9 Throughout the years, Peter has seen the industry go through drastic changes with an increasing number of pubs struggling. However, he never goes for the pints that can reach up to seven or even ten quid. But to record that he has visited a pub, Peter leaves a calling card which he gets a staff member to sign. "The wife is OK with it, she just accepts it's my hobby." Peter and his wife Dawn, 66, plan to next go to Greenwich for their anniversary where they will down a few more pints. "I'm trying to do my bit to keep the pub scene alive. I'll keep going until the beer runs out." Peter's top 5 pubs Peter and his Black Country Ale Tairsters group achieved their Guinness World Record for the Longest Pub Crawl in 2017, after reaching their 20,000th pub. The now real ale connoisseur has revealed his top pubs in the UK, and why. The Black Lion, Consall Forge, Staffs: out in the wild, has an old steam train running past, next to a canal, lovely beer garden. Yew Tree Inn, Caulden, Staffs: 88-year-old landlord still remembers Peter visiting in the early days in 1987 as pub number 1,052. Old place full of antiques and great atmosphere. The Mug House, Claines, Worcester: has three little rooms, by lovely little churchyard. Peter also has a pal there who he sees often. The Rising Sun, Tipton, West Midlands: has been Peter's local pub for years, welcoming and friendly faces. Payton Arms, Stoke Lyne, Oxon: unique place full of cobwebs and spiders, old fashioned and hard to describe. Peter also added: "My favourites are Oakham Cistra, Abbeydale Moonshine or Deception, Ossett White Rat and Black Country Ales. "We've been to the Shetlands, Orkneys, Jersey, Guernsey. "And to parts of Europe too as we like to visit military and war sites, like the Somme." 9 9 9
