Many young women are shunning tea in favour of water, says the Tea Council at the launch of a campaign to encourage people to drink at least 4 cups of tea a day for their health. Many young people think the process of making and drinking tea is too lengthy.

The Times
Outsiders are to be barred from buying new houses in some of Britain's most desirable villages in an attempt to reduce an influx of wealthy second-homeowners. Members of the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority claim that the outlawing of holiday home purchases will lead to new properties selling at a 30 percent discount.

Guardian
Yorkshire Dales national park has approved a new rule that new homes should only be sold to locals. Lake District park already has tight controls.
