Seng Choon egg farm to move after land-use changes announced for Lim Chu Kang; four other farms affected

Published by Sam Flores

Bollywood Farms is operating on a site that was originally awarded through a public tender for a 20-year lease that expired in 2021. Following the lease expiry and at Bollywood Farms’ request, the government granted it short-term tenancy extensions on a “goodwill basis to facilitate its transition”. The first extension granted was from Apr 15, 2021, to Dec 31, 2023, and a second extension granted was from Jan 1, 2024, to Dec 31, 2026.  “Such requests for extension are considered carefully on a case-by-case basis, taking into account factors such as land use plans, operational considerations, and the lessee’s transition plans. In this case, the extensions granted were intended to facilitate the farm’s transition,” said SFA. “Bollywood Farm has since requested … a further tenancy extension and we are considering the request carefully.” Affected farms may continue to remain onsite until their tenures expire, after which the land will be returned to the government for consolidation. There will be no early termination of leases, said the authorities. Farms that wish to continue operations can participate …

Childminder numbers are falling in England – how have you been affected? | Childcare

Published by Sam Flores

The number of childminders in England has roughly halved over the past decade, with many citing rising costs, low pay and increasing paperwork as reasons for leaving the profession. Childcare organisations have also warned that upcoming tax changes could push more childminders out of the sector. Campaigners say the decline is making it harder for families to find flexible and affordable childcare, particularly in areas already struggling with shortages. We want to hear from childminders who are considering leaving the profession, as well as parents and carers who have been affected. Are you a childminder thinking about quitting – and if so, why?

It will also reduce its capacity for another Greek hotspot, Athens Airport, during the upcoming winter season (2026). Overall, the site reads, these changes will result in the loss of about 700,000 inbound and outbound flights and the loss of 12 routes.  They will also suspend operations at Crete airports, Chania and Heraklion, during off-peak seasons. The company’s chief commercial officer, Jason McGuinness, claimed that Ryanair had been responsible fo 90% of international capacity to Thessaloniki. He added that they will be reallocating the aircraft no longer used for these locations to Albania, regional Italy and Sweden. Why are Ryanair cutting so many seats in these airports? Though jet fuel costs have ballooned since the US-Iran conflict, Ryanair cited another price hike here. The company said on their site that “This devastating loss in off-peak winter connectivity is the direct result of the hopelessly uncompetitive costs charged at the German-run Fraport Greece monopoly and Athens …
