Coventry is seeing a wave of new restaurants opening in the former Cathedral Lanes shopping centre. The building is being transformed into the city's new dining quarter, with two restaurants opening in the space of just weeks. Recently, those eateries have been Zizzi and Bistrot Pierre, who have both taken up one corner of the centre. But there is still more to come - and just in time for Christmas for those work parties. Below are just some of the new restaurants and bars coming to the city in the near future. The Botanist A cocktail bar and restaurant, which has venues across the UK, is set to open in November.

New rules coming to protect 1.5m people from exploitative mobile contracts

The telecoms watchdog said it has launched a consultation to ensure fairer, more transparent prices for customers who pay for handsets and airtime within the same contract. This is one of the most common methods for people taking out new phones and allows customers to pay for their usage and device in instalments, often under 24, or even 48 month contracts. After this point, the phone, in theory, becomes theirs to keep. Ofcom said research suggests around two in three pay-monthly mobile customers are currently on these contract ‘bundles’. However, it is concerned that a significant number are still paying the same price after the end of their minimum contract period. Ofcom's decision to amend rules on price plans comes after a Citizen's Advice investigation found 4 million smartphone users are being charged for handsets they already own.
