Plans are being drawn up to convert the former headquarters of the Coventry Evening Telegraph newspaper into a boutique hotel.

The post-war building, on a site which bounds Lamb Street, Upper Well Street and Corporation Street in the centre of Coventry, has been vacant since 2012.

New owners plan to preserve the main building in recognition of its important role in the city’s post-war redevelopment.

A mixed-use scheme is planned for the building which will comprise a 250-bedroom hotel, 16,000 sq-ft of leisure space, student accommodation plus private apartments and office space.

Workspace provider, Regus, has published plans to open its first business centre in Shipley, West Yorkshire.

It will be located on the first floor of Salts Mill, a former textile mill which is now home to an arts, business, shopping and dining complex.

Regus Salts Mill will house almost 90 workstations and will offer co-working space, virtual office services and meeting rooms.

Salts Mill was opened in 1853 by industrialist Sir Titus Salt, who built the adjoining model village of Saltaire to house the mill’s workers.
