    The building, in Gough Street and Suffolk Street Queensway, will be 12 storeys tall in places and have 330 beds and a restaurant.

    It will be wrapped around the Christadelphian Hall, but city councillor Peter Griffiths said they could find no problem with the plans and thought the hotel would "showcase" the hall.

    Birmingham is short of hotels and having one in this area will not only be helpful to future sports events but also for businesses

  14. Two drugs arrests after taxi stoppedpublished at 18:43 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2019

    Drugs have been seized and two men have been arrested after a taxi was stopped by police in Stoke-on-Trent.

    Staffordshire Police said the first man, who is 23 and from Birmingham, was arrested on suspicion of supplying Class A drugs when the vehicle was stopped on Hartshill Road at 10:00.

    The other man, who they say was arrested as part of the same incident, was arrested on Fletcher Road for possession with intent to supply heroin and crack cocaine.

    Officers also seized cash and phones.

  15. Mysterious rock stood out because it was 'too young'published at 18:30 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2019

    You may think one rock looks pretty much the same as any other on a rock-strewn hillside - but not to the National Trust who say it was clear this lump of limestone doesn't belong on the Long Mynd in Shropshire.

    That's because it is 200 million years younger than the other rocks there - leading the trust to conclude someone has dumped it on the hillside.

    The owner has been given until the end of the day to come forward - or it will be smashed up.

  16. Car investment halves as industry hits 'red alert'published at 18:19 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2019

    Investment in the UK car sector almost halved last year and output tumbled as Brexit fears put firms on "red alert", the industry's trade body said.

    Earlier this month Jaguar Land Rover confirmed it was cutting 4,500 jobs, blaming Brexit uncertainty, a slump in diesel sales, and China's economic slowdown.

    The Coventry-based car maker also said it would extend its annual April shutdown by an extra week because of worries that just-in-time deliveries could be disrupted if Britain leaves the EU without a deal.

    Labour MP Jack Dromey, whose constituency of Birmingham Erdington is home to Jaguar Land Rover's Castle Bromwich factory, said a strong Brexit agreement was needed to protect the car industry.

    Quote Message

    The view I get expressed to me the whole time is we voted to leave, we want to leave. We have an obligation to honour the outcome of the referendum but crucially, no-one voted to make themselves poorer and that's why it's absolutely critical that as we leave the European Union, we have a strong agreement that protects Britain's national interest.

    Jack Dromey MP, Labour, Birmingham Erdington

  17. Business park 'most exciting development' since M50published at 18:12 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2019

    Local Democracy Reporting Service

    The creation of a new business park could be the most exciting economic development in Ross-on-Wye since the creation of the M50, one Herefordshire councillor has claimed.

    The council-funded 37-acre Model Farm Enterprise Park will cost £37m and could create up to 1,000 jobs, the authority has said.

    Herefordshire cabinet member and Ross mayor Harry Bramer said he was delighted to see the council spend money on the development and fellow committee member David Harlow said it would generate a return for the council through more business rates.

    It is highly thought that this project is probably the most exciting thing, in economic terms, that has happened in Ross since the building of the M50
