Much of the Glenmore stretch of the Cairngorm ski road will be paid for parking with the rest of the route being designated as no waiting zones. The Pay and Display restrictions will be in force to the end of October.

The whole city has a hidden network of caves beneath it, which have been in use since Roman times. Nottingham City Museums Service has just launched a £30 'adult rover ticket' under the pay-once-visit-all-year scheme, that enables holders to visit Nottingham Castle, Wollaton Hall and Newstead Abbey. I'm not sure taking from the tourists to subsidise the city would win approval from Nottingham’s most celebrated son.

The government should have the courage to admit these mistakes, restore those cuts and instead raise the level of income tax, particularly the higher rates. Rather than
