Until now, groups have paid £5 per hour for somewhere to rehearse like the Carriageworks Theatre in the city centre, but now fear it may go up to £25 to match the fee paid by professional organisations.

A landmark mill in the Yorkshire Dales is to close, 10 years after it reopened following a £1.2m restoration project, while work to ensure its safety is undertaken.

Gayle Mill dates from about 1784 and is thought to be the oldest structurally unaltered cotton mill in existence.
