Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly relocating back to the UK to settle in the Cotswolds after six years abroad, with their children Archie and Lilibet set to start school there this month. While keeping their California residence, the move brings them closer to family — especially Princess Anne. The timing echoes Harry’s rushed return to Scotland in September 2022 when Queen Elizabeth II was critically ill; Meghan stayed behind as Charles forbade spouses on the trip. Upon arrival, Harry met his grandmother for the final time, describing the moment as emotionally jarring and reflecting on his regret over not seeing his own mother. He also marveled at the Queen’s dedication, even meeting PM Liz Truss just two days before her death — a fleeting tenure that lasted only 49 days. Though they’re stepping away from official royal duties, this relocation signals a major personal shift for the family, hinting at a new chapter ahead.

Your bin’s going on an adventure after collection? A TikTok binman reveals the secret: stick your house number and street name on the lid—not the side—for maximum visibility from above. It’s a simple hack that keeps your bin right at your doorstep, prevents neighbor mix-ups, and even sparked a sticker trend. Just remember to check your local council’s rules—some bins need handles or wheels facing specific ways. Keep sidewalks clear and bring your bin home after collection.

The UK government is poised to approve the Jackdaw gas field off Aberdeen, reversing a court ruling that voided its permits last year for failing to assess climate impacts. With Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh expected to recommend approval soon, and final go-ahead likely within a week, the move signals renewed support for North Sea drilling — even as environmental groups warn it won’t meaningfully cut energy bills or boost domestic supply. Meanwhile, the larger Rosebank oil field may follow suit later this year, sparking industry cheers over jobs and revenue — while Prime Minister Andy Burnham calls for pragmatic energy transition policies that balance economic needs with climate goals.

Blocked driveways during school drop-offs? It’s more than just a hassle—it could be illegal. When you’re stuck and can’t leave your property, you’re facing an obstruction of the highway. First call your local council’s parking enforcement team, or dial police non-emergency if it’s urgent—they can tow the vehicle. Most councils handle this, but if not, police step in. Prospective homebuyers near schools should research parking chaos during rush hours to avoid future headaches. Know your rights, know who to call—and don’t let school runs turn your driveway into a legal nightmare.

Aberdeen drivers, get ready for major traffic chaos starting September 14th — two key bridges and South College Street are all shutting down for essential upgrades. The King George VI Bridge will be southbound only for a month, while the Bridge of Dee goes northbound only. Meanwhile, South College Street is locked down from Sept 7 until mid-December as SSEN installs new underground power cables to boost reliability. While local access and detours are promised, commuters brace for serious delays as three major routes hit the works at once — all for much-needed infrastructure renewal.

The UK government may soon greenlight the Jackdaw gas field off Aberdeen, a project backed by Shell and Equinor that could supply 6% of the nation’s gas demand—but at a steep climate cost. Adura estimates 35.8 million tonnes of CO2 emissions over 11 years—nearly 90% of Scotland’s annual emissions. A court ruled last year that both Jackdaw and Rosebank were unlawfully approved for ignoring emissions from burning fossil fuels. New climate assessments and public feedback are now required. Industry champions the project for energy security and jobs, with potential gas flowing by winter if approved this month. The final decision rests with new Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh, as the UK imports 60% of its gas. The government says it will weigh all evidence before deciding.

Aberdeenshire haulage firm VG Mathers Limited has entered liquidation, axing seven jobs as it closes its doors after years of battling soaring fuel and insurance costs, mounting vehicle maintenance expenses, and broader industry pressures. The company, founded in 1968 by Colin Mathers’ father, also offered repair services — now shuttered amid a UK-wide crisis affecting around 400 road haulage firms this year. Director Colin Mathers warns this is a symptom of a collapsing sector, while liquidator Michael Reid confirms the closure reflects systemic strain. The focus now is on managing the winding-down process with care for employees caught in the economic squeeze.

A 27-year-old man, Tanzir Ali, was convicted of attempted murder after shooting a 16-year-old boy in Sheffield — an act that left the teen critically injured and facing a life-altering recovery. Fleeing to Aberdeen, Ali was eventually caught thanks to a woman who booked them a hotel under false pretenses. Both Ali and his accomplice, Sharna Osborne, were found guilty — Ali for attempted murder and firearms offenses, Osborne for assisting an offender. CCTV footage sealed their fate, showing Ali pulling out a gun during a heated argument before fleeing. Despite claiming he didn’t know the weapon was loaded, the evidence was damning. Sentencing is set for November 18th. The case underscores the brutal reality of gun violence and the critical role of forensic work and cross-border police cooperation in bringing perpetrators to justice.
