An application has been submitted to bring a former East Yorkshire pub back to life.

The Light Dragoon, the former pub in Etton, near Beverley, is set to reopen, under new ownership, as 'The Pub at Etton'. After plans to demolish the pub to make way for four cottages fell through due to local opposition, the owners instead to reopen it as a pub after the original venue closed over half a decade ago in 2019.

A spokesperson for the pub told the LDRS that the pub had been on the market, but that no breweries registered any interest.

A licensing application has been submitted to East Riding Council ahead of the planned opening in March. The application is requesting permission to trade between the hours of 11am to 23:59pm Monday to Sunday, and sell alcohol from 11am to 11.30pm.

The pub's new website claims it is undergoing an "extensive refurbishment" and that it will offer, "traditional beers, log burning fires, and specialist food nights."

There is also a link on the website to submit job applications for its recruitment driver, whilst on Facebook the pub is taking suggestions for what drinks people would like to see the new pub serving.

India's aluminium exports to the US likely to drop due to tariffs, industry says
India's aluminium shipments to the U.S., its top export market for the metal, will likely drop due to tariffs proposed by Washington, prompting producers to look at other markets such as Europe, industry executives and a government source said on Monday. U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday he would introduce new 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminium imports into the United States in another major escalation of his trade policy overhaul. Those measures would drag down India's aluminium exports to the United States, affecting the profitability of Indian producers, the executives and the source said.

McDonald's international markets prop up sales growth even as US lags
(Reuters) -McDonald's posted on Monday a surprise increase in its global comparable sales in the fourth quarter, aided by demand for its cheaper items and discounted offerings from diners in the Middle East, Japan and China. Shares of the burger chain rose nearly 5% in early U.S. trading, despite a bigger-than-expected drop in U.S. comparable sales due to an E. coli outbreak in late October, and cautious spending. Demand pressure on fast-food chains operating in the Middle East has begun to ease after widespread informal boycotts of Western chains over their perceived pro-Israeli stance in the Gaza conflict.
