Scheme aims to stop cables trailing across pavements and encourage drivers to switch to electric vehiclesLocal councils in England will be encouraged to install pavement gullies that link houses to the kerbside so that electric cars owners can charge their cars from home if they do not have a driveway.The new government scheme hopes to stop cables trailing across pavements, as EV owners in built up areas where off-street parking is scarce, try to charge their cars. The Department for Transport has said it will put £25m towards “cross-pavement” charging – essentially a narrow cable channel with a cover on top. Continue reading...

7 h. ago Stokes conjures England magic to halt India and put third Test on knife

Third Test D3: England 387 & 2-0; India 387England bat out one over after bowling India outIt has been a tough old series for England’s bowlers. As well as wrestling with docile pitches and doughy Dukes balls in a lengthy heatwave, they have come up against an India batting lineup that is rich with talent and seriously gutsy with it. The upshot has been perspiration outstripping inspiration by some margin.Not that those two elements are mutually exclusive and in Ben Stokes, England have a cricketer who thrives on delivering both. On the third day of this pivotal third Test, as India were bowled out for 387, the scores dead level on first innings, and the hosts were thankful for their captain’s ability to conjure something from nothing. At stumps, closing on two for no loss, his side were just about back in the box seat because of it. Continue reading...

11 h. ago Parish plots Crystal Palace response after demotion with Uefa braced for fight

FA Cup winners feel hard done by after being banned from Europa League due to a breach of multi-club ownership rulesAs an emotional Steve Parish said, it felt like “winning the lottery and going to the counter and you don’t get the prize”. Confirmation from Uefa on Friday of Crystal Palace’s demotion from the Europa League to Conference League had been expected since European football’s governing body delayed its decision to await the outcome of Lyon’s appeal against being relegated to Ligue 2.That did not make it any easier for Parish, who has proudly overseen Palace’s rise from the brink of extinction in 2010 to a first major trophy. When the final whistle blew at Wembley to seal Palace’s FA Cup final victory against Manchester City eight weeks ago, Parish was greeted by a massive bear hug from John Textor, who at that stage was Palace’s largest shareholder, but had spectacularly fallen out with the chair over not being allowed more of an influence.
