Scores of boy racers descended on the exclusive Sandbanks in Poole Harbour, in their modified BMWs and Mercedes for the sunset meet on Saturday, amid fury that the area is being turned into a Monaco-like racing circuit. Locals accused the petrolheads of parking illegally, blocking in and 'intimidating' some of the well-heeled residents who complained of 'revving' engines and the strong smell of cannabis. In recent years a mile-long loop around the peninsula has been turned into an unofficial race track, with some hot-rod cars reaching speeds of up to 80mph - almost triple the 30mph speed limit. The seafront facing homes can sell for as much as £13.5million and the picturesque location has attracted the likes of celebrity chef Rick Stein and former Premier League manager Harry Redknapp.

Where to live when children come along is one of the biggest decisions facing young couples. A safe local area is all important and equally vital is access to good schools. Here is our guide to some of the most desirable locations in England and Wales.

You may have seen it in any number of film or television dramas, from Poldark to Doc Martin (bottom right). You may have seen it in any number of film or television dramas, from Poldark to Jamaica Inn. Given the millions of people who come here every summer, you may have seen it with your own eyes. According to Robert Hardman, the most surprising part of the North Cornish coast, given how much development has occurred over the years, is that the majority of it remains unspoiled. Stand on Doyden Point and look out left and right across the Atlantic, and the landscape will be no different from what a Georgian or Victorian walker would have seen. That could, however, be about to change. Various 'aquaculture' schemes are in hand, and these waters, for all their professed eco-friendliness, will make these waters look very different. And the local reaction has been nothing less than raucous. So what is this grim threat to a much-loved shoreline? Seaweed, actually. More specifically, the issue is linked to hitherto clandestine plans to raise the produce in the open sea near to some of Britain's most popular holiday haunts.

My parents seem to have developed a full-fledge for travel, as so many recently retired boomers. And with every taken-on-a-whim trip to Provence, every luxurious jaunt to Thailand, New York, or Costa Rica, I'm afraid to say I'm getting ever more resentful. Now is the time of year when summer holidays take center stage, and at my parents' house in the West Country, I am keeping an eye on Tuscany's plans. 'We've booked a villa with a pool,' my mother tells me, scrolling through internet photos of a stunning old Italian farmhouse overlooking olive groves. The math comes from my mind. 'For just the two of you?' I ask. 'Or are some friends joining you to … share the cost?' She replies, 'Nope.' 'YOLO,' a narrator says.' YOLO stands for You Only Live Once, and it's one I taught her many years ago, too. It has become my parents' mantra. They may as well put neon lights in the living room, which they so rarely inhabit these days.

Close to nine in ten adults in the United Kingdom shop at Amazon. You can buy everything from balloons to screws to sofas, to mattresses. Despite the fact that millions of people use it out of convenience and the hope it gives bargains, a Money Mail investigation has discovered that it does not always have the highest rates.

After suffering with breathlessness, the chef, who was 77, underwent open heart surgery at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London last year. Now 18 months after the operation, he had been describing his future in a manner that could not be true, and he's not worried how little life he's got left.'

A slew of wealthy Europeans is snapping up the area's rustic cottages and elegant Georgian townhouses, but locals are not impressed. Harry Potter and Downton Abbey's film and TV franchises have been credited with filling foreigners' heads with a neopolitan vision of English country life. Among them is the medieval village of Stow-on-the-Wold, perched on an 800-ft hill at the intersection of the main roads in the Cotswolds, including the famous Fosse Way of Roman origins. According to Rightmove, detached homes in the Stow-on-the-Wold sell for an average of £939,500, while flats sell for around £425,757.

Since shredding an overgrown hedgerow in Bournemouth's upmarket Hampshire seaside resort Sandbanks, employees at Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole Council have sparked an outraged new backlash. Some locals had complained that overgrown foliage was scratching their expensive cars, but other well-heeled residents accused the local authority of going too far, with reports today that the ground was'set on fire.' By critics, BCP was also accused of "hack jobs," but parents were delighted to see what was seen as 'health and safety" concern hedges be withdrawn, and others were also condemned. Sandbanks-facing homes can sell for up to £13.5 million, and celebrity chef Rick Stein, former football managers Harry Redknapp and Graeme Souness, and computer magnate Sir Peter Ogden have all been attracted attention.

In one of England's most exclusive areas, council staff who pulled back hedges have been accused of 'eyesore.' After locals complained that overgrown vegetation was scratching their expensive vehicles, employees at Bournemouth and Poole Council (BCP) cut back an overgrown hedgerow in Sandbanks. However, several well-heeled locals said the workers went too far and 'devastated the area,' after calling for the hedges to be better maintained.

It costs £68 per head for the meal, according to controversies.

Sandbanks has risen to become the fourth most expensive place to buy a house in the world, only beating Monte Carlo, Basel, and Palm Beach, according to MailOnline. The upscale neighborhood on the Dorset coast had already established itself as one of the world's most costly places to buy real estate. However, the millionaires' playground had a median sale price of £1.25 million last year, with the most expensive being £13.5 million in March. In 2023, only three cities had a higher median, Monte Carlo, Switzerland's Basel, £4.24 million, and Palm Beach, Florida, all at £1.33 million. Sandbanks in Switzerland were above Zurich at £1.1 million; San Francisco and Hong Kong at £1 million; and Los Angeles, Singapore, Tel Aviv, and Toronto were above Zurich at £900,000. Based on a top 20 list compiled by US financial website Money Inc last month, it included London, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Sydney, New York, and Miami.

The exclusive Sandbanks, which has been dubbed Britain's Monte Carlo, is 'being used as a race track,' with petrolheads screeching around the neighborhood in their kitted out cars nearly every night. Fed up locals cobbled together enough funds for a 30mph highway to be successful, but the council was denied permission because it would be too costly to run. They need a larger police presence to put an end to speeding cars spoiling their idealistic and peaceful lives during a recent tragedy in which a 17-year-old girl was left with'serious injuries'. On Banks Road, the girl was a passenger in a black Mercedes that smashed into a grey BMW. The seafront facing homes can sell for as much as £13.5 million, and the picturesque location has attracted celebrity chef Rick Stein and Premier League boss Harry Redknapp.

RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: During a debate about illegal migration on Nick Ferrari's excellent LBC breakfast show this week, a caller wondered: What if the small boats were going the other way? Regretfully, there wasn't time to investigate this area of inquiry before the ad break, or the news, or the most recent travel news, or whatever came next. Most listeners will have come away with the impression that the call was tongue-in-cheek. But it got me thinking: what if Dan from Dartford wasn't joking?What if Britain started shipping tens of thousands of migrants across the Channel to France ?Let's assume, for instance, that the EU suddenly closed its external borders to migrants crossing the Med illegally, backed by naval and military force? That's not as far-fetched as it seems.

One of the highlights of December 25th is a delectable Christmas dinner with all the trimmings, but the task of preparing the festive meal can cause a lot of anxiety. Many in charge of preparing the highly anticipated dinner are often found in the kitchen, sweating, agitated, and elbow-deep in potato shavings, while their guests may enjoy a refreshing winter walk or a mulled wine by the fire. Any chance that by the time the chef sits down to eat the holiday lunch - which they've obviously had to buy for too - has largely disappeared. Thankfully, it no longer has to be this way, as food franchises and restaurants around the country now promise to help the stress melt away with their handy meal kits. So which are Yuletide saviours and which are festive flops?To find the best, FEMAIL tried out several kits (pictured).

Even by normally sympathetic media outlets such as the New York Times, one chapter was described as "much as a press release cooked up by ChatGPT." The book's Dutch language version, which named two family members suspected by the Duchess of Sussex of 'unconscious bias,' was described as 'not all that different from what Harry described in 'Spare.' Despite all this uproar, Nielsen hasn't failed to raise its revenue, with Nielsen putting UK sales figures for the first five days at 6,448.

More than 500 dignitaries were welcomed to Buckingham Palace for the glittering annual Diplomatic Reception, accompanied by Queen Camilla and The Prince and Princess of Wales, Charles, 75 (pictured). The four most senior family members posed for a portrait together for a portrait before the 'white tie and tiaras' function was held. Following Omid Scobie's latest book on the monarchy's fury after it was discovered that a Dutch-language version of a Dutch-language version contained the names of two family members convicted by the Duchess of Sussex of 'unconscious bias,' it would be seen as a sign of solitary.'

Although the Duchess of Sussex, 42, opting for an unexpected appearance in Santa Barbara, just a few miles from her Montecito mansion, she accessorized with hundreds of pounds worth of accessories. Princess Diana wore these with a pair of Krewe sunglasses, which she's worn before and cost £250 in a £180 Bottega Veneta phone case, before deciding on a £4,000 diamond tennis bracelet that was thought to be a King's gift and worth at least £4,900.

Rick Evers (left), 36, the first to notice that two Royal Family members had been branded as the 'royal racists' in his country's translated version of the Endgame (right), is selling his copy. The proceeds of the book's sales, which have since been pulled from shelves in The Netherlands, will be donated to Autersbond, the Dutch professional association for writers and translators, according to the Dutch journalist.

Despite a blitz of media in the first week of its debut, Endgame's latest book on Scobie has already fallen out of Amazon's top ten new bestsellers list. Based on Amazon's revenues, the title currently ranks 139th in the UK bestseller book charts, which are updated hourly to reflect the most recent and historical sales of every item. Since being at 14th place as recently as last Friday, Endgame has dropped more than 100 places in three days. On the day of its debut last Tuesday, it was ranked 77th out of 77th. The book is now available in the table alongside children's books like the Beano annual, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and Stick Man; biographies of Britney Spears, Matthew Perry, and Chris Kamara; and Mary Berry, Rick Stein and Tom Kerridge's cookbooks. In the same Amazon list in the US, Endgame was at 235th today - below The Very Hungry Caterpillar; the Jeopardy!The 2024 calendar, as well as a a Paw Patrol sound book, are included. Amazon claims that its lists are a "good indicator of how well a product is selling overall," but that "doesn't necessarily show how well an item is selling relative to similar items."
