Lyme Regis Town Council Overcharged Restaurants for 14 Years

About this episode

Lyme Regis Town Council overcharged local restaurants for outdoor tables and chairs for 14 years, charging up to £4,500 per year, far exceeding the national cap of £500. The council mistakenly believed they owned the pavements, but Dorset Council clarified that Marine Parade is a public highway. The council has since refunded tens of thousands of pounds to affected businesses, but some owners, like Larry Gibbons, are still seeking repayment. The council has since handed over future licenses to Dorset Council to avoid similar mistakes.

On April 6th, Russia just dropped footage of their new Curier robot, a tracked beast, packing an 82mm baguilnic mortar that loads, and fires rounds all on its own. No humans needed nearby. In the test vid from a snowy field, it spins its turret, blasts off shots at a far target, then a mechanical arm reloads in about 5 seconds. Flat-peer automation for remote battlefield ops. This comes amid fresh hell in Ukraine, where a Russian drone strike on Odessa wiped out two women in a two-year-old toddler in an apartment block, leaving 11 hospitalized, including kids and a pregnant woman. Meanwhile, shelling hit Curson, killing an elderly lady and injuring three others, while power grids in several regions got hammered, knocking out. Electricity for over 300,000 homes. Ukraine's hitting back with long-range drones slamming Russian oil ports like Novorossisk, sparking injuries in damage as the Linsky warrants weapons. Stought piles are thinning, and Russia shows no signs of slowing down.
