Planned work at Saltdean Lido was halted last month after it was found an old substation had been removed.
Campaigners asked Brighton council to lend them £70,000 for a new one but the council said it would lend £10,000.
Saltdean Lido Community Interest Company (CIC) had wanted to avoid fundraising delays to the work, but is now selling bricks for a Wall of Fame.
People can pay to adopt bricks which will feature their message or name on the wall to be built early next year.
Spokeswoman Bridget Fishleigh said the old substation had mysteriously vanished and no-one could account for its disappearance.
She said campaigners could find no photographs to prove it was ever there but they did find cables.
They have said the lido will remain a building site until money is found.
The CIC has raised £2.8m in grants and is working on a £4.8m lottery bid but Ms Fishleigh said allocated funds could not be reallocated under grant procedures.
"We're reaching out to our supporters to help us with this because without power we wouldn't be able to test the pool and we certainly wouldn't be able to run it," she said.
The Wall of Fame will have 2,500 bricks and campaigners are urging people to buy them as Christmas presents.

The King Charles spaniel was found on the A38 near Kennford service station in Devon on Thursday afternoon.
The owners of the dog, which suffered two suspected broken legs, have now been traced.
CCTV footage is being reviewed by police "to shed light" on the incident.
Devon and Cornwall Police said: "We are currently working under the impression that the dog had escaped from its home and ran across the road and sustained its injuries this way."

An injured dog which was first thought to have been thrown from a car on a busy dual carriageway had probably escaped from home and run across the road, police say.

The 59-year-old actor and presenter has launched a petition to prevent buildings being demolished to make way for a new station.
A planned Crossrail 2 connection at Tottenham Court Road will see two new access points built in Soho.
Fry, who is chairman of Save Soho, warned the area "could change dramatically".
He said the group did not oppose Crossrail 2.
But he said: "Soho is not just a metropolitan enclave... it is a focus, a magnet for the young, creative and open-minded around the country.
"The new threat to Soho's authentic soul coming from Crossrail 2 is a real and urgent issue."
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has warned that London's transport network will grind to a halt due to overcrowding unless the government backs Crossrail 2.
Construction could start in the early 2020s and the railway could be open by 2033.
A preferred route for a proposed £20bn Crossrail 2 scheme, running north-south through London was approved in 2014.
Crossrail 2 bosses say improvements will reduce crowding on the busiest part of the Northern line during peak periods by approximately 30%.

Mobile phone footage taken by a visitor to Marwell Zoo in Winchester showed the moment one of the Sulawesi macaques ran into a food shop.
Visitors took to social media to say they were locked inside shops while keepers tried to locate the pair at about 12:40 BST.
The monkeys were returned to their home within 30 minutes and no one was hurt.
Kevin O'Donnell posted on Twitter calling it a "great escape" and recorded one of the monkeys running around the zoo.
One visitor posted: "Monkeys have escaped at Marwell Zoo currently hiding out with the giraffes".
Another said Marwell staff acted "quickly and professionally".
A spokesperson for the zoo said guests and staff were asked to remain indoors while keepers dealt with the situation, which took about 30 minutes.
"We are grateful for the way in which our guests cooperated and thank them for their understanding," the spokesperson said.
"Our thanks to our animal management team who responded swiftly and carried out a model response.
"The two macaques have rejoined the rest of the family and all five will remain in the indoor part of their enclosure until a full investigation has been carried out.
"Our vet team has carried out checks and we are happy to report that the animals came to no harm. The zoo remains open as usual."

Mhairi Black won the Paisley and Renfrewshire South seat for the SNP in last month's general election.
The 20-year-old sat her final exam on Scottish politics shortly after being elected.
She graduated along with the rest of her class in a ceremony at the university on Friday.
Ms Black posted a photograph of herself in her gown on Twitter.
She wrote: "Overwhelmed by all the messages of support. They're really appreciated. It's been a great day for everyone involved."
Her graduation came seven weeks after being elected MP for Paisley and Renfrewshire South.
The student had yet to sit her final exam when she ousted Labour's Douglas Alexander to become the youngest member at Westminster since the Reform Act of 1832.
She won her seat by 5,500 votes after overturning former Shadow Foreign Secretary Douglas Alexander's 16,000 vote majority.
The MP admitted recently that it was "quite bizarre" returning to university after being elected an MP.
Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland, she said: "It was a brass neck walking into a room with people I've been studying with for years and they're all pulling their hair out applying for a million and one jobs and I'm like, 'Hi guys, how's it going?'."
A spokesman for the University of Glasgow said: "We would like to congratulate Mhairi Black, as we would all of our students who are graduating this summer.
"They have all worked extremely hard to earn their degrees and we wish them the very best for their future careers."

Petersen, 35, who has spent the last two years with Lancashire, is charged with multiple breaches of Cricket South Africa's (CSA) anti-corruption code.
In January, as part of the same investigation, former Proteas spinner Gulam Bodi was banned for 20 years after admitting charges of contriving or attempting to fix matches.
Then in August, CSA banned former wicketkeeper Thami Tsolekile for 12 years for his part in the scandal, while Pumelela Matshikwe, Ethy Mbhalati and Jean Symes received lesser bans for accepting money from Bodi.
Petersen, who has 14 days to respond, has been charged with:
Born in Port Elizabeth, Petersen featured in 36 Tests, 21 one-day internationals and two Twenty20 internationals for South Africa.
He previously played for English county sides Glamorgan, Essex and Somerset, before joining Lancashire as a non-overseas player under the Kolpak ruling after he retired from internationals.
Petersen said in September that he might not return to Lancashire for 2017 for family reasons.

An astronomy lecturer told the BBC the "little old rock" was not to blame.
Rocks are poor conductors of heat and although they cause fireballs when they streak through the Earth's atmosphere from space, even recent large meteor falls have not started fires.
The Bowie Volunteer Fire Department apologised and said the Twitter post "should have never been made".
The blaze took 15 firefighters four hours to put out and left a crater 12-15 ft (3.7-4.6m) wide and 5-6 ft deep.
Afterwards, a tweet was sent out from the Bowie Volunteer Fire Department account showing a photograph of a crater and a rock, calling it a "possible meteorite strike".
But Greg Redfern, an astronomy lecturer and Nasa ambassador, told the BBC a rock could not be called a meteorite before it is tested by a specialist laboratory.
And, he said, people's perceptions of meteorites were not quite right.
"People have this vision that a meteorite is going to be hot and flaming and it is such a wrong notion," he said.
"When a meteorite has come through the atmosphere it is cooled off way up high. I can't give you a temperature but it would be cool to touch, maybe even cold."
Three years ago, space rocks fell over Russia, injuring nearly 1,000 people but there was no ground fire.
Rocks that enter the Earth's atmosphere from space partially burn up in the air but when they hit the ground they are cold.
Mr Redfern said: "The bottom line is that the fire in Maryland was not caused by that little old rock."
Jonathan Howard of the Bowie Volunteer Fire Department promised in a statement that measures would be taken to ensure there was no repeat of the mistaken report.

The hospital, which serves more than 200,000 people in Weston-super-Mare, will close between 22:00 and 08:00 BST.
Those with serious and life-threatening emergencies are being told to dial 999 and ambulances will take them to Bristol or Taunton.
The Trust said the the temporary move was necessary until it can guarantee safe levels of staffing overnight.
It comes after a health watchdog rated its emergency care as "inadequate".
What is happening to A&E services in England?
A Care Quality Commission (CQC) report warned "significant improvements" must be made.
Medical director Dr Peter Collins described the move as "a very difficult decision" but added "it is our ability to recruit that is our challenge, not our ability to care".
But the public sector workers' union Unison warned every night the department is closed "is a risk to the people of Weston".
Christine Cook, of Unison, said the nearest alternatives were in Bristol or Taunton - some 27 miles away - would leave "sick people a long way from help and putting more strain on health staff at other hospitals".
"I'm concerned that behind the lack of answers from the trust is a government plan to further downgrade Weston Hospital.
"A similar closure in Lincolnshire has been extended to over a year. If that happens here, related departments like the intensive care unit will be affected too."

Weston General Hospital's A&E department closes overnight later because it cannot be staffed safely.

Tests on animals, published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, showed healing times could be cut by nearly a third.
Experts said the early results were "quite impressive" but needed to be tested on people.
More than 200,000 people in the UK have chronic wounds which can take weeks to heal.
Ultrasound is already used to heal some bone injuries.
A team from the Universities of Sheffield and Bristol tried the technology on mice with chronic wounds, which do not close readily and often become infected.
Pressure sores from lying or sitting in the same position for too long, and diabetic foot ulcers which can lead to amputation, are both types of chronic wound.
They become more common when we age due to a decline in our body's ability to repair itself.
The high frequency sound waves physically vibrate cells in and around the wound. The process effectively wakes up the cells to make them more responsive to the wound.
The study showed that in both old and diabetic mice, healing times were reduced from nine to six days.
The report said ultrasound was "restoring healing rates to those observed in young healthy animals".
In the tests the team were treating the wounds before they become chronic, so they will need to test the power of ultrasound on wounds that have been there for weeks.
Dr Mark Bass, one of the researchers from Sheffield University, told the BBC News website: "At the moment, treatment is based around stopping the infection and hoping it heals, with ultrasound we are promoting the healing of the wound."
"It's activating the normal healing process, that's why it's an attractive therapy; the ultrasound is simply waking up cells to do what they do normally."
The researchers now need to study the approach in people, which they expect to do in the next year.
"We're looking at 200,000 patients currently with a chronic wound, all those may well benefit from the technology," Dr Bass said.
The researchers are using broadly the same equipment that is used in an ultrasound scan during pregnancy.
Dr John Connelly, from Queen Mary, University of London, said: "They're getting almost complete reversal of impaired wound healing which is quite impressive."
So does it have potential as a treatment?
"I think it could, but that's a major question as wound healing is quite different between humans and mice," he said.
"One of the big wound-healing treatments is negative pressure - putting the wound under a vacuum - that acts through mechanical stimulation, so it's entirely reasonable that ultrasound may also work."
|
A blast of ultrasound can help stubborn chronic wounds heal more quickly, a study suggests.

The new company will take over Crown's 27.4% interest in two Macau businesses.
Macau is the world's largest gaming centre and the only place in China where casinos are allowed.
Its gaming revenues have been hurt by a slowdown in Chinese spending.
China's campaign against corruption and luxury spending began in late 2012 and has left officials and businesspeople from the mainland more wary of gaming and spending in Macau.
Crown said the demerger, which included a move away from interests in Las Vegas among others, would benefit shareholders.
Rob Rankin, chairman, said: "We believe that Crown Resorts' extremely high quality Australian resorts are not being fully valued and the Crown Resorts share price has been highly correlated to the performance of its investment in Macau."
Shares in Crown closed 13.2% higher at $12.75 in Sydney following the announcement, but were still flat over the past 12 months.
Crown was founded by James Packer, who stepped down as a director last December. He is the son of the late Australian media mogul Kerry Packer.
James Packer still owns a 53% stake in Crown and said last year that he planned to focus on projects in Sydney, Melbourne and Las Vegas, as well as Crown's online gambling operations.
Crown's first casino was in Melbourne and has since expanded to Sydney, Perth, London, Macau, Manila and Las Vegas.

A crackdown on corruption in China has prompted Australian casino operator Crown Resorts to spin off its international assets into a separate company.

Professional hunter Lee Lightsey said the 15 ft (4.5m) beast was one of the biggest he had come across in 18 years and required a tractor to move it.
Mr Lightsey and hunting guide Blake Godwin discovered the alligator in cattle ponds while supervising a guided hunt on Saturday.
When the creature surfaced about 20ft (6m) away from them, they shot it.
"Although this animal is huge I was not that surprised it existed," Mr Lightsey said. "We have come across lots over the last 20 years that have been only a little smaller.
"But what really drew our attention to this animal was the fact that it seems to have been feasting on the cattle on my farm, because mutilated body parts were found in the water. It was a monster which needed to be removed."
Mr Lightsey's company arranges hunts for alligators, wild boar and turkey on the farm he owns for hunting trips. The largest alligator previously killed was just over 13ft (4m) long.
He charges $10,000 (£7,060; €8,780) to kill an alligator larger than 13ft (4m) and $4,500 (£3,180; €3,955) to kill an alligator between 10ft and 12ft. The animals are mostly killed with a high-powered rifle.
"But always we kill them with the minimum of suffering without allowing them to be injured before they die," he said.
There are hundreds of alligators for hunters between 10ft and 13ft, he says, while animals longer than 13ft are only encountered about once a year.
Mr Lightsey has been commercially hunting alligators since he began "harvesting" them in 1988 and more than 5,000 alligators bigger than 1.5m have been killed since then.
American alligators inhabit the south-east of the US with Florida and Louisiana each reported to have a population of more than one million alligators each.
Southern Florida is reputed to be one of the only places in the world where both alligators and crocodiles live alongside each other in freshwater environments such as rivers, lakes and swamps.
Mr Lightsey says he plans to get the alligator stuffed while the meat will be donated to charity.

The attack took place at about 06:00 in the northern town of Kidal. Residents said at least two suicide bombers were involved and a car bomb was detonated.
A soldier from Chad was killed and at least one other was injured.
A 9,000-strong UN force has been responsible for peacekeeping operations in Mali since July 2013. It regularly comes under attack from militants.
An official from the UN force, known as Minusma, confirmed the attack to Reuters news agency, but did not provide further details.
French and African troops intervened in Mali in January 2013 to stop the southern advance of al-Qaeda-linked fighters on the capital, Bamako.
The insurgents were expelled from the northern towns but have continued attacks against Minusma, which took over responsibility for security in the country from the French.

It says homeowners borrowed £220.3bn last year, up 8% on 2014 and the highest since 2008's total of £247.8bn.
However, the figure is still well below the £356bn lent at the peak of the property market in 2007.
The CML said lending had recovered faster than expected. Growing wages, falling unemployment and cheap mortgage deals were among the reasons.
Nevertheless, it said the outlook for 2016 was less certain.
"The supply of existing and new properties on the market remains weak, and affordability pressures weigh on activity," said CML economist Mohammad Jamei.
"There is an added element of uncertainty as we wait to see the impact of tax changes on the buy-to-let sector."
Buy-to-let landlords face an increase in stamp duty from April, and a reduction in tax relief from 2017.

Mortgage lending in 2015 was the highest for seven years, according to the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML).

Kazakhstan's Golovkin is unbeaten in 35 professional fights with 32 knockouts.
British middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr had called out Golovkin, but Brook has got in before him.
"When this fight was offered I accepted in a minute. I'm a huge welterweight and I will carry my speed, accuracy and power through the weights," said Brook.
"This is the ultimate fight, one of the biggest international fights this country has seen in many years.
"You have seen some huge names run from Golovkin but I'm running to him. I'm a special fighter and I will show the world on 10 September."
Sheffield's Brook, 30, is following in the footsteps of compatriot Amir Khan, who also jumped two weights to challenge Mexico's then WBC middleweight champion Saul Alvarez in May.
That fight was at a catchweight of 155lb, five pounds below the middleweight limit, but it is yet to be confirmed if Golovkin will make any concessions.
"I'm very excited to be fighting in front of the great British boxing fans and promise another 'big drama' show," said 34-year-old Golovkin, the WBC, WBA and IBF middleweight champion.
Golovkin has never boxed in Britain before but has beaten two British fighters in world title defences - Matt Macklin was knocked out in three rounds in 2013 and Martin Murray lasted 11 rounds in 2015.
Both Brook and Golovkin have been hunting huge-money fights in recent years but have been repeatedly frustrated.
Brook, who is unbeaten in 36 pro fights with 25 knockouts, won his IBF title by outpointing Shawn Porter in 2014 but what seemed a natural fight against Khan failed to materialise.
Golovkin won his first world title in 2010 but has struggled to find willing opponents, with Alvarez preferring to give up his WBC belt in May rather than face him.
"I cannot tell you how excited I am for this fight," said Brook's promoter Eddie Hearn.
"You have the number one welterweight in the world against the number one middleweight in the world - 36-0 v 35-0, two of the best on the planet. It's what big-time boxing is all about."
After defending his British belt against Tom Doran last month, Eubank Jr said he was keen on a match with Golovkin.
It remains to be seen why that fight fell through. Golovkin recently suggested Eubank Jr was presented with a contract and failed to sign it, but Eubank Jr denied that.
Eubank Jr said on Twitter: "I haven't been shown one contract since my fight with GGG was announced. I'm still ready & waiting to sign. Fighting Brook is a joke."

In recent weeks, North Korea has carried out a hydrogen bomb test and repeatedly test-fired missiles.
Mr Obama met Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of a nuclear summit in Washington on Thursday.
But hours later, South Korea's Yonhap news agency said the North appeared to have test-fired another missile.
The latest test saw what appeared to be a ballistic missile land off the east coast of the Korean peninsula, Yonhap reported.
Mr Obama said he and Mr Xi were seeking to agree "how we can discourage action like nuclear missile tests that escalate tensions and violate international obligations".
Mr Xi, quoted by China's state news agency Xinhua, said it was critical all parties "fully and strictly" implemented newly-agreed sanctions. China is North Korea's closest ally and largest trading partner.
Zheng Zeguang, China's assistant foreign minister, said the presidents had a "candid and in-depth exchange of views on a variety of issues...and reached an important consensus". He called the meeting "positive, constructive and fruitful".
North Korea's nuclear test on 6 January and a satellite launch on 7 February were violations of existing UN sanctions.
Since then, the UN and Washington passed further sanctions on Pyongyang. The UN steps were drafted with support by China and reportedly came after two months of negotiations between Beijing and Washington.
Previous UN sanctions imposed after North Korean tests in 2006, 2009 and 2013 did little to dispel its nuclear ambitions.
Much of the burden of making sure the sanctions are implemented is falling on China.
Under the new measures, any North Korean ships arriving in China must be inspected for contraband and imports halted if there is proof profits from those exchanges go towards the North's nuclear programme.
Washington has long pushed for Beijing to put more pressure on North Korea. A White House statement in February said China's "unique influence over the North Korean regime" gave it the chance to do so.
China's foreign ministry last week said it was keen to push for wider talks on North Korea, involving a number of regional powers, during the meeting with Mr Obama. There was no confirmation whether new talks were agreed on Thursday.
Mr Obama also vowed to closely work on the same issue with its allies South Korea and Japan after meeting their leaders on Thursday.
"We are united in our efforts to deter and defend against North Korean provocations," he said.

Barrow Borough Council's licensing committee spent three days considering David Gill's request.
But the council refused permission for the extension after inspectors raised concerns about "out-of-date practices".
Karen Brewer, the zoo's chief executive officer, said great strides had been made to improve the zoo and keep it the "unique attraction" it is.
Whoever takes over running the zoo must apply for a new licence within the next six months.
Mr Gill first received a licence to run the zoo in May 1994, when the attraction consisted of 290 animals on 12 acres with about 200 visitors a day.
Now the zoo is home to more than 1,000 animals across 50 acres, attracting more than 250,000 visitors and generating £3m a year.
The council has gone along with an inspector's recommendation that the licence, which must be renewed every six years, should not be reissued until new management is in place at the zoo.
A report to the committee said: "Of particular concern to the inspectors is the fact that as this zoo grows, it relies heavily on (Mr Gill's) experience implementing out-of-date practices and refusing to implement modern zoo practices.
"This has resulted in animal welfare issues, a higher than expected mortality rate amongst the animals, higher than expected incidents (such as injuries to the public from animals), and places both staff and the public potentially in danger."
The council said Mr Gill had installed new management but there were concerns about him, as licence holder, overruling other management decisions.
Ms Brewer said: "I am confident in my own position to manage the zoo without David here on a regular basis but we do need his ideas and his contribution in this zoo as it is vital to keep its heart alive."

South Yorkshire MP Angela Smith said Barnsley businessman Tony Hickton's idea to improve transport links would need to provide value for money.
Mr Hickton said current routes between the two cities were not good enough.
He said a road and rail tunnel from around junction 36 of the M1 to the M67 would boost the economy.
The Penistone and Stocksbridge Labour MP said: "The economic impact of improving the link between Sheffield and Manchester shouldn't be underestimated.
"You can't put motorways through national parks, we've got to protect those very precious landscapes.
"If you stand above the Woodhead Pass and look down on it and see all those HGVs, it's a real blight on that beautiful landscape, and anyone who uses the road knows how difficult it is to use.
"So clearly there has to be a solution somewhere along the line to this problem."
Mr Hickton, from construction inspection company Hickton, said it could be built using a mixture of private and state funding.
He added: "These tunnels won't be built tomorrow, but if we don't press the button now, we'll never be ready, so why not now?"

Developer Burcote Wind has voiced disappointment at the recommendation for its 10-turbine Longburn project.
It said it had worked closely with communities over five years to make it suitable for the site near Carsphairn.
However, Dumfries and Galloway Council is being advised to reject the scheme due to cumulative landscape impact.
Last year the MCS raised its concerns about the project's impact on Cairnsmore of Carsphairn.
The organisation said the project would "close the circle" around the peak.
Now the scheme is to be discussed by the planning committee of the local authority in Dumfries and Galloway.
It is being advised to turn it down.
Planning officers said it would have "significant adverse cumulative impacts" on the landscape and visual amenity of the site surroundings and wider area.
They also found it would have an effect on "cultural heritage assets" in the site.
Burcote Energy said it was disappointed by the recommendation for the scheme which could put about £2.5m into a community benefit fund over its operational lifetime.
Operations director Fraser Campbell said: "While the recommendation is based on landscape and visual and cultural heritage impacts, we have had no objections from either SNH or Historic Environment Scotland.
"We have been working on the site for over five years now and worked closely with the communities over the years to ensure that our application is well designed and suited to the site."
He said they respected the planners' position but did not agree with it.
The company also cited support from Dumfries and Galloway Chamber of Commerce and local logistics firm Currie European.

They were found in burial grounds in the Al-Kamin al-Sahrawi area in Minya province, south of Cairo.
The tombs contained a collection of different sarcophagi, or stone coffins, as well as clay fragments.
Egypt's antiquities ministry said the discovery "suggests that the area was a great cemetery for a long span of time".
One of the tombs, which was reached through a shaft carved in rock, contained four sarcophagi that had been sculpted to depict a human face.
In another, excavators found six burial holes, including one for the burial of a small child.
Clay fragments found at the site date the tombs between the 27th Dynasty, founded in 525BC, and the Greco-Roman era, which lasted between 332BC and the 4th Century.
Ali al-Bakry, head of the mission, said one of the tombs contained bones believed to be the remains of "men, women and children of different ages".
"These tombs were part of a large cemetery for a large city and not a military garrison as some suggest," he said.
In a statement, the antiquities ministry said that "works are under way in order to reveal more secrets".
This work follows previous excavation at the site, which began in 2015.

Graham, 21, played the last half an hour of Tuesday's 1-0 home defeat by Huddersfield, after 15 months out with a cruciate knee ligament injury.
"I thought he really livened the game up and got some bums off seats when he came on," Stearman, 29, told BBC WM.
"If he can stay fit then he'll be a force to be reckoned with next season."
Centre-back Stearman is approaching the end of his loan spell from Fulham, having originally left Molineux for Craven Cottage in 2015.
He returned to Wolves last summer but says he is waiting, like a large number of other players, on managerial decisions before knowing where his future lies.
"There's plenty of players up and down the country who don't quite know what's going to happen next year," he said.
"A lot of people are just waiting for the end of the season before they sort out what and who they need."

Fit-again winger Jordan Graham will add an extra dimension to Wolves' attack next season, according to team-mate Richard Stearman.

The offers from West Ham and Burnley are in the region of £10m, though the Hammers' is higher.
Clarets boss Sean Dyche said there was a "difference" between a fee being agreed and "a player joining".
Meanwhile, Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka says his club are "working on offers with Hull".
"I think they rejected an offer but we are working, " he added.
Snodgrass has scored seven league goals this season for the 19th-placed Tigers.
West Ham's proposal comes a day after Burnley's bid and is their latest attempt to sign the player this month - they previously had offers of up to £6m rejected by Hull.
The Tigers say the move is now down to the player and he has not yet gone for a medical at Burnley.
"It's an ongoing situation. There's no imminent moment that the player is here or going to sign," added Dyche.
"In theory they gave us a chance to speak to the player and take it from there. I get the feeling there are a number of clubs who have been interested."
Snodgrass missed Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Chelsea with what manager Marco Silva described as "a small injury in the knee".
Silva is reluctant to part with Snodgrass, having already sold midfielder Jake Livermore to West Brom for an undisclosed fee, believed to be £10m.
Snodgrass has been linked with a move since December, before Hull triggered a one-year contract extension, tying him to the club until the end of the 2017-18 season.

Berwickshire-based Hutton Stone is behind the bid to bring the Swinton Quarter Quarry back into use.
It says the rock there has "very good qualities" and some of it could be used on Historic Scotland properties.
The firm has made scoping request to Scottish Borders Council which could lead to a full planning application.
The proposals would see an average of 1,000 tonnes of stone extracted over a period of about 20 years.

Lord Krebs sits on an independent panel which advises central government and the devolved administrations on greenhouse gas emissions.
Agriculture is the biggest emitter of greenhouse gases in Northern Ireland, accounting for 29%.
He said flooding was the biggest risk, with about 60,000 homes vulnerable.
Lord Krebs, who was in Belfast to present a report on the specific challenges for Northern Ireland, said increased rainfall could also pose a risk to agriculture from soil erosion.
If properly managed, however, climate change could present opportunities, with warmer summers and longer growing seasons, he added.
Agriculture, power generation and transport are the biggest emitters here.
There have been calls for local climate change legislation; Northern Ireland is the only devolved administration not to have it.
It would mean targets for cuts to greenhouse gas emissions.
But there has been opposition to that, with claims it could make industry and farming here less competitive.
Lord Krebs said climate change could no longer be denied and there was now "absolutely overwhelming scientific consensus" about it.
DUP MP Sammy Wilson said the assembly should not pander "to mostly well off green zealots" by introducing a "disastrous" policy.
Agriculture and Environment Minister Michelle McIlveen has said she would keep the issue of local legislation "under review".

Northern Ireland needs to act now to prepare for the effects of climate change, a senior government adviser has warned.

Sales volumes were 1.3% higher in the month compared with March.
They were also 4.3% higher than a year earlier, the Office For National Statistics (ONS) said.
The ONS revised March's retail sales figures, showing retail sales fell by just 0.5% rather than 1.3%, as first estimated.
"Clothing stores remain the main drag on growth in the retail sector, with sales hampered by unseasonal weather. However... sales increased in April compared with March as lower prices boosted sales," said ONS statistician Melanie Richard.
Colder than usual weather had also dented spending in March, hurting demand for spring and summer clothes, according to the ONS and surveys from the British Retail Consortium and the CBI.
The latest ONS figures showed total average store prices in April were 2.8% lower than a year earlier, dragged down by a 7.3% drop in fuel prices. Food store prices fell 2.3% amid the continuing supermarket price war.
However, the total amount spent in April increased by 2.1% to £28.1bn compared with the year before.
Keith Richardson, of Lloyds Bank commercial banking, said a rush to complete property deals before a stamp duty rise came into effect in April had helped to boost demand for household goods and furniture.
Vicky Redwood, chief economist at Capital Economics, said that consumer confidence did not seem to have been adversely affected by the UK's upcoming referendum on EU membership.
"Indeed, consumer spending should prevent the economy from slowing too much this quarter, even if referendum uncertainty has a bigger impact on business confidence and investment," she said.
The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) said the rise in April's retail sales was welcome, but highlighted imbalances in the UK economy.
"After the disappointing decline in March, the strong retail sales recovery in April supports our view that in spite of major headwinds the UK economy continues to grow, albeit at a slowing pace," said David Kern, BCC chief economist.
"However, the contrast between buoyant retail sales and the problems facing other sectors such as manufacturing highlights the unbalanced nature of Britain's recovery."
The BCC called for "a more balanced economic structure with a stronger focus on exports, investment and manufacturing".
The stronger-than-expected retail sales figures pushed up the value of the pound. Sterling rose against the euro by 0.3% to €1.3053, and climbed 0.2% against the dollar to $1.4625.

UK retail sales volumes rose strongly in April despite lower spring clothing sales due to the cold weather, official figures show.

Susan Norman, 68, died when tonnes of mud and rubble engulfed her flat in Looe, Cornwall, in March 2013.
An inquest jury concluded Cornwall Council had not listened to "consistent and frustrated complaints" from residents about previous landslips.
The authority has apologised to Mrs Norman's family.
More on the landslide inquest and other news from Devon and Cornwall
The court heard neighbours had warned Cornwall Council about the risk of erosion and questioned the stability of the land years before the fatal accident.
Mrs Norman's landlady, Christina Miller, told the inquest as soon as her tenant raised concerns she had called in a structural engineer who warned about the risk of "catastrophic collapse".
A post-mortem report read to the jury at Truro Magistrates' Court said Mrs Norman died immediately.
The jury said in its findings: "Cornwall Council did not listen to regular consistent and frustrated complaints by the residents. Cornwall Council did not respond to an independent report highlighting risk."
It added: "The landslide was caused, or more than normally contributed to, by a failure of Cornwall Council to prevent the surface water moving from St Martin's Road on to the rear of Veronica's (Mrs Norman's house)."
After the inquest, Mrs Norman's daughter Helen Hazeltine said: "She was taken away from us and she didn't have to be.
"This should never happen again and I don't want anyone else to go through this, at all, ever."
Kate Kennally, Cornwall Council's chief executive, said: "I would like to apologise to Mrs Norman's family and friends and express our sincere condolences for their loss."
She said it would "not be appropriate to comment in more detail", as court proceedings against the council and its civil engineering arm CORMAC had been lodged.

Paul Kelly, deputy leader of North Lanarkshire Council, was speaking the day after plans for 500 redundancies at the Uddingston base were made public.
Belgium owners Ageas said it was looking to close the site by the end of March next year.
The Scottish government said it was "ready to assist" if jobs do go.
Mr Kelly told BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme that closure would have a "direct impact on the Lanarkshire area and the local community".
He added: "This is a very significant number of jobs and our immediate concern is with the workforce and their families. This is the lead up to Christmas, it is devastating news.
"But we are wanting action, we are wanting to immediately act on this that is why we have called on the establishment of a taskforce."
Mr Kelly urged the Scottish government to get round the table with other partners "to do all we can" and "as soon as possible".
Scottish Enterprise and the Scottish government are understood to be seeking another company which could use the insurance firm's contact centre skills.
Five years ago, the company had more than 900 staff in North Lanarkshire. It now employs 521 people at the Tannochside Business Park site.
An Ageas spokeswoman said Kwik Fit Insurance Services had been "under pressure for some time" as a result of changes in the way people buy insurance and the way the personal insurance market now operates.
Mr Kelly said he did "not disagree" with the reasons Ageas had given for the planned closure but he believed the current workforce was "highly skilled and a huge asset" to the wider business community.
He explained that the council had written to First Minister Nicola Sturgeon asking for the establishment of a taskforce.
Business minister Paul Wheelhouse said on Tuesday that he was "very disappointed" to learn of the proposed closure.
He added: "Should any job losses proceed, we stand ready to assist those affected through our initiative for responding to redundancy situations, Partnership Action for Continuing Employment (PACE) and our Finance Sector Jobs Taskforce.
"I am keen to meet with North Lanarkshire Council to work together with them to ensure we support the local community and secure investment at the site."
Ageas said it would now enter into a consultation period ahead of the planned shut down next year.

World champions Argentina went ahead through a penalty corner in the sixth minute and Carla Rebecchi got the crucial second just before the break.
Alex Danson got one back on 65 minutes but there was not enough time to break down a strong defence again.
Argentina will play reigning champions the Netherlands in the final on Friday.
The Dutch earlier beat New Zealand in a penalty shoot-out after a dramatic match ended 2-2 in normal time.
"Great Britain will be so disappointed. In this situation, if you can come off the pitch knowing that you gave absolutely everything and you just weren't good enough then you can take some kind of comfort in that. 2-0 down against the number two team in the world? It's a tough ask to come back and win it.
"GB gave it absolutely everything in the second half but they just weren't getting it into the Argentine circle and causing problems."
Britain will have to console themselves with a bronze medal match against New Zealand and the opportunity to match the team of Barcelona 20 years ago.
"I thought we were the dominant side in the second half," said GB coach Danny Kerry.
"The reason for not winning was the half-chances, not converting the opportunity, but I couldn't have asked any more from the girls. I felt Argentina were really just defending, not offering much other than that, but they did that well."
Argentina repeated the formula of rock-solid defence and clinical finishing which won them the Champions Trophy final on home soil against Great Britain in January.
They got off to the perfect start with their first attack when Noel Barrionuevo coolly converted a penalty corner.
From that moment on, the task was considerable for Great Britain. They had much of the possession without creating a real shooting opportunity until Danson attempted an ambitious reverse-stick finish on the half hour.
Rebecchi then made them pay when she linked up with Luciana Aymar's surging run down the left and forced the ball into the goal despite a strong challenge from two British defenders and keeper Beth Storry.
The second half was a more positive affair, with Crista Cullen getting an early penalty corner, but it was charged down by Macarena Rodriguez Perez.
Helen Richardson had the clearest chance in open play on 55 minutes when the ball fell to her in space in the 'D', but she snatched at her shot.
With hope fading both on the pitch and in the stands, Danson then gave the whole match a bolt of energy.
She dived forward to convert a fizzing Richardson cross and set up a frantic last five minutes, but the Argentines stood firm to book their place in the final.

The ban, which was proposed by the state's top two associations of traders, came into effect on Wednesday.
The associations say that soft drinks firms take too much water from rivers, leaving farmers struggling to irrigate their land at a time of severe drought.
More than a million shopkeepers are expected to comply with the ban.
Two major trade bodies - the Federation of Tamil Nadu Traders Associations (FTNTA) and the Tamil Nadu Traders Associations Forum (TNTAF) - said they proposed the ban after seeing young people coming out in huge numbers last month against a ban on the local bull-taming festival, jallikattu.
Many who protested against the jallikattu ban said they saw it as an attack on local customs and traditions.
"We started the campaign against soft drinks several months back. But it gained momentum when we extended support to the pro-jallikattu movement," Tha Vellaiyan, president of FTNTA, told BBC Tamil.
"Drinks like Pepsi and Coca-Cola are not good for your health because of their high sugar and chemical content. We are promoting Indian soft drinks, and will encourage better sales of fruit juices," he said.
The associations have also urged supermarkets, restaurants and hotels to follow the ban and "help local businesses and farmers prosper".
Pepsi and Coca-Cola have not commented on the ban.

Wildlife photographer Steve Trewhella shot footage of the rays earlier in August, confirming the site is a nursery for the endangered species.
Marine awareness officer Julie Hatcher said rays reproduced very slowly.
Nurseries are found in only in a couple of places along the south coast.
Ms Hatcher said the trust had long been aware Studland Bay was a nursery area for rays, as in autumn and winter hundreds of egg cases, known as "mermaids' purses" are found along the shore.
Volunteers have been collecting the egg cases, and the majority are those of undulate rays.
However, the baby rays have not been photographed for a number of years: they are so well camouflaged, it is very difficult to spot them.
Ms Hatcher said: "They are a very beautiful animal.
"They have fantastic markings which looks a bit like Aboriginal art."
The nursery is particularly important because rays only lay a few eggs which take a long time to hatch, and take a couple of years to reach maturity, making the species very vulnerable to over-fishing.
Commercial fishing of undulate rays is prohibited, but they can be caught legally by recreational anglers.
|
Dorset Wildlife Trust says new footage of endangered undulate rays in Studland Bay is "exciting", and could add weight to its campaign to have it made a marine conservation area.

Private equity firm ECI Partners will take a majority stake in the business, which sells a bicycle range developed in conjunction with Olympic gold medallist Sir Chris Hoy.
It is being sold by Active Private Equity, which bought its controlling interest in the then family-owned company for about £35m in 2008.
At the time Crawley-based Evans had 31 outlets and annual sales of some £44m.
It now has 56 shops and sales have risen by more than 300% under Active's ownership.
The company has more than 1,000 employees, including 250 mechanics.
Nick Evans, partner at Active Private Equity, said: "Evans Cycles of today remains true to its independent bike store roots, run by cycling enthusiasts for cycling enthusiasts."
Evans began in 1921 when FW Evans opened the first store in Kennington, south London. It was sold by his widow in 1950 to Joe Smith, whose son Gary Smith went on to expand the business.
The management, including chief executive Nick Wilkinson, will retain a stake in the company.
"Today's announcement marks the start to an exciting new phase in our journey," he said. "It will enable us to deliver our brand promise in new ways and to more people."
ECI was set up in 1976 by the Bank of England to invest in small companies that faced liquidity issues but has been a partnership for many years.
Its first management buyout came in 1981 with telecommunications company Ansafone.
It has also invested in companies including Café Rouge, National Express, Bloomsbury Publishing and Chubb.
George Moss, partner at ECI, said: "As consumers look to lead increasingly healthy lifestyles and their shopping habits become ever more sophisticated, we believe Evans is well placed for further growth."
Participation in cycling expanded by 27% between 2006 and 2014, Sport England found.
The UK bicycle market was worth just over £950m last year, according to Mintel, and is set to be worth about £1.3bn by 2019.
The market research firm said that Halfords was the clear market leader in the UK bicycle market, in terms of both sales and volume.
Michael Oliver, senior leisure and media analyst at Mintel, said: "Rising average selling prices reflect recognition on the part of consumers that they get what they pay for and an increasing proportion of them understand that it is worth paying more for a quality bicycle."

Evans Cycles has been sold in a deal thought to value the retailer at £100m.

Fishing and other activities on its waters are credited with supporting some 513 jobs.
The last review of the economic impact of the river was carried out in 2006.
The latest report by consultants SQW found that despite "a couple of testing years for anglers" its annual impact had risen from £18m to £24m.
The River Tweed Commission (RTC), which ordered the report, welcomed its findings.
Chairman Douglas Dobie said that the economic benefits of the river allowed them to invest in scientific research to help manage the river.
He said that in the past decade the RTC had channelled research grants totalling £1.3m into the Tweed Foundation.
"This report underlines the success and importance of managing the River Tweed on a long-term basis," he said.
"Over the past decade the economic contribution of the activities on the Tweed has continued to grow, as has our scientific understanding of the whole river system.
"We are unique in Scotland in this regard."
Mr Dobie said the report underlined the "increasing importance" of the river to economies north and south of the border.
"With the commitment of the commission to keep investing in the management and science of the river through the Tweed Foundation, we can be confident that the positive impact will continue to be enjoyed locally, nationally and internationally," he added.

A report has found the value of the River Tweed to the economy of the Borders and North Northumberland has risen to £24m-a-year.

City boss Manuel Pellegrini wants to mark his debut season in England by securing all four trophies they are in.
And Kompany, 27, says it is inevitable that City will do the quadruple at some stage in the near future.
"We can't promise it will happen now, but eventually it will have to happen," said the Belgium defender.
"We are the players at the moment who have been chosen to do it. If it's not us then it will be other players.

"This club definitely has a target to win every competition possible."
Pellegrini's side are second in the Premier League table, lead West Ham 6-0 after the first leg of their Capital One Cup semi-final and face Barcelona in the Champions League last 16.
They progressed to the fourth round of the FA Cup on Wednesday with a 5-0 replay victory over Blackburn Rovers.
City's neighbours Manchester United secured the treble of Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup in 1998-99.
Kompany also credits Pellegrini, who replaced Roberto Mancini as manager last summer, with the greater attacking intent City have shown this season.
City have scored 99 goals this season from 33 matches and average four goals a game at home, with 64 from 16 fixtures.
"He's very offensive-minded and I think that's shown in our results and the way we play," Kompany said.
"I think we have been one of the best teams to watch in the Premier League so far."

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany says it is only a matter of time before the club complete a record haul of four major trophies in a season.

The club had hoped to build a 21,000-seater venue at Stoke Gifford on the outskirts of the city.
It said it was "disappointed" that discussions with UWE had "come to a close as the parties were unable to agree acceptable terms".
The university insisted it had "not given up on this hugely important project".
In 2011, the football club reached a deal with UWE and Sainsbury's to build a new stadium on university land.
Further plans included the supermarket building a store and redeveloping the club's Memorial Stadium in Horfield.
However, the chain pulled out following delays and petitions by campaigners for and against the plans. A High Court battle ensued which Rovers lost in 2015. The club was bought the following year by the Al-Qadi family.
In a statement, Rovers said it would "now have to go back to the drawing board" and explore options for a new stadium, redevelopment of its current ground and improvements to its Colony training ground.
Club manager Darrell Clarke said the news was "very disappointing for everybody".
Rovers chairman Steve Hamer, added: "I can't see this position being retrieved.
"I just think this whole deal has been jinxed, it just never seems to have been running in the right direction."
A UWE spokeswoman said the university "remained committed" to a new stadium, which would bring "great benefits" to the institution, community and regional economy.
She added: "Although we have been disappointed by the slow pace of negotiations, we are still willing and open to continue negotiations.
"This has been an initiative the university has been working on for over eight years and we still believe is deliverable.
"Planning consent does not expire until January 2018 and the door remains open for a deal to be struck, and the university will continue to work on this project."
With so much positivity at Bristol Rovers going into the 2017-18 season, with a number of signings and manager Darrell Clarke signing a five-year contract, this news will come as a blow - especially given the time and money spent on the project.
Supporters have waited patiently for progress since the plans to build a new stadium at UWE were first released in 2011. Indeed, you could go back even further, to over three decades ago when they left Eastville.
Now fans will want to know what happens next and they'll want reassurances that the Al-Qadi family remain committed to the football club.

The Englishman began the day leading by three but saw his advantage wiped out when he bogeyed the eighth and Nicolas Colsaerts sank his third birdie.
Fitzpatrick, 21, regained the lead with a birdie on the 10th and hit three more from the 13th to finish on 15 under.
Defending champion Alex Noren of Sweden is level with Colsaerts after a 67.
Noren had seven birdies in his five-under round, including four on the trot from the 12th.
He is still well adrift of Fitzpatrick, who parred his first seven holes before dropping just his second shot of the week on the eighth.
The Englishman, who finished seventh at the Masters, bounced back immediately with four birdies in seven holes to move back to the top of the leaderboard.
"I find the front nine more difficult than the back nine, especially in the wind but I stayed patient and got my rewards," he said.
"It's one of the things I've learned since turning pro."

The £100m scheme includes a new ground for non-league Boston United, along with shops and 500 homes in the Wyberton area of the town.
Wyberton Parish Council held the vote after residents called for it.
Of those eligible to vote, only 18.76% - 550 people - took part, of which 86% voted against the scheme.
Parish council chairman Richard Austin said: "I wasn't expecting a big turnout, but I'm sure the World Cup game had an effect."
He said the date and time had been "set in stone" and the council could not change them.
However, he added: "I can only speculate, but perhaps the majority were happy to take the view of the ones that did vote.
"We live in a democratic society and this is what happens sometimes."
Mr Austin said prior to the vote people had raised concerns over the potential impact of the scheme, including the traffic it would generate.
He said the parish council would now consider the results before forming its view on the application to Boston Borough Council.
The developer, Chestnut Homes, whose owner David Newton is Boston United chairman, said the project would be good for the town and create jobs.
The project, called The Quadrant, includes plans to move the Conference North club from its York Road stadium, where it has been since the late 19th Century, to a new 4,000-seat ground off the A16 at Tytton Lane.
Chestnut Homes submitted its planning application in May. If approved, work could begin in 2015.

Postal slips in Ceredigion, Preseli Pembrokeshire and Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire have been re-printed on tan-coloured paper to correct an error in the instructions.
Voters must discard the grey slips.
A Green Party source said its "Vote Green on Grey this May" leaflets and video were now useless as a result.
The party had printed leaflets and created a video for social media.
The source said: "As you can imagine, we've been really shocked by this muck up. You've seen the film we've made, fortunately we haven't begun sharing it yet. It's now useless.
"We've also had a new batch of Green on Grey leaflets printed. At least we can use them in other parts of the region."
Tom Marshall, the party's campaign manager for Mid and West Wales said: "We are extremely disappointed to hear of the error with the ballot papers. 'Vote Green on Tan' just doesn't have the same ring about it."
Regional returning officer Mark James said: "It appears that a computer error by printers who prepare papers for Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire led to an unfortunate misprint."

The Green Party in Wales has been forced to abandon its "Vote Green on Grey" assembly campaign after an error meant postal slips will not be grey.

In spite of a sales uptick, the firm on Tuesday said net earnings fell 15% to $763m (£595m) from $898m in the same period last year.
The firm also lowered its profit guidelines for the year.
The stock price fell on the news, dipping about 3% in early trading on Tuesday.
Lockheed has come under pressure for its F-35 fighter jet program, which has been plagued by delays and cost overruns.
A report from the US government's auditing arm, the Government Accountability Office, on Monday found that "cascading delays" meant the cost of the programme would run more than $1bn over budget.
US President Donald Trump has also targeted the programme, tweeting in December that it was "out of control." He claimed that negotiations would lead to billions in savings.

US to buy more F-35 fighter jets from Lockheed Martin
But chief financial officer Bruce Tanner said on a call with analysts that nothing significant had changed to the programme in the last six months, though talk about F-35 costs was "bundled" with pricing for some of the firm's other contracts.
Chief executive Marillyn Hewson said Lockheed profits took a hit this quarter on a defence programme for an international customer.
Lockheed also reduced the value of a joint venture in the Middle East, which is not seeing as much demand as expected.
But she said a "volatile" international environment suggests that military spending may increase, including in the US.
Lockheed sales in the first quarter were up 6.6%, to $11.1bn, from the same period in 2016.
"We remain hopeful that progress will continue to be made in this area and upcoming legislation will include the increases necessary to equip and maintain our fighting forces," she said.

The sum is half the record Lotto jackpot win - shared with a couple from Hawick who claimed their prize within days of the 9 January draw.
A spokesman for organisers Camelot urged players to "check, double-check and triple-check" their tickets.
The ticket had the winning numbers 26, 27, 46, 47, 52 and 58.
Updates on this story and more from Worcestershire
Camelot said the exact location where the ticket was purchased could not be revealed but it hoped that by naming the area where the ticket was bought it could increase local interest and help find the winner.
The area has not been narrowed down further to preserve the winner's anonymity, they said.
It is not known if the winning ticket was bought by an individual or a syndicate.
David and Carol Martin, both aged 54, received a cheque for £33,035,323 after claiming their share of the record jackpot, that occurred after 14 successive rollovers.
Even though the prize total was shared, the sum is still the biggest win since the National Lottery was launched in November 1994.
However, the sum is dwarfed by the the biggest UK win in the Euromillions lottery, a draw where prize money comes from ticket sales in several European countries.
Colin and Chris Weir, from Largs in North Ayrshire, collected £161.6m in 2011.

The Citizens Advice Bureau in Scotland said fees had "altered the balance of power" between workers and employers since they were introduced in 2013.
People face fees of up to £1,200 for their claims to be heard by a tribunal.
The UK Ministry of Justice said fee waivers were available for those who could not afford to pay.
The Citizens Advice Bureau's Price of Justice report, published jointly with Strathclyde University, revealed the number of tribunal cases lodged during the first quarter of last year fell by 81% compared with the same period 12 months previously.
Citizens Advice Scotland (CAS) spokeswoman Lauren Wood said: "A few weeks ago we published CAB evidence showing that the number of Scots being exploited at work was increasing.
"Today we publish a new report which shows how such workers are being prevented from getting the justice and compensation they are entitled to.
"It's two years since the government introduced a fee for employment tribunals.
"The evidence shows that people have been deterred from taking their grievances to tribunal because they simply can't afford to pay the fee."
She added: "One of the most worrying aspects of this current situation is that it has altered the balance of power at work, with rogue employers now feeling they can exploit or mistreat their employees without risk of being called to account.
"In highlighting this issue today we call on the government - and all political parties - to think again about the price of justice, and to get rid of these fees.
"Justice should be available to everyone, not just the wealthy."
A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: "We want people to resolve these issues using quicker and simpler alternatives such as arbitration and mediation and only go to court as a last resort.
"We have made sure fee waivers are available for those who can't afford to pay, as well as diverting people away from potentially acrimonious hearings, where possible, through a new early conciliation scheme which has already been used by over 60,000 people in its first nine months.
"The government has committed to reviewing employment tribunal fees but believes this is better determined by the new administration following the election."

The former US Open champion from Portrush picked up three birdies on the front nine to move into contention.
But his challenge faded with dropped shots at the 14th, 17th and 18th leaving him with a level-par 72.
McDowell finished on four under for the tournament and six shots behind winner Brian Harman.
Harman made a 28-foot birdie putt to win and end Dustin Johnson's hopes of winning a fourth title in his last four starts.
World number one Johnson, on his return from injury, shot a five-under 67 to set the clubhouse lead on nine under.
Ireland's Shane Lowry (72) ended on three under with Seamus Power (73) back on one over.

RAF serviceman Corrie Mckeague went missing after a night out in Bury St Edmunds in September.
After a high-profile missing persons campaign, police revealed in March he may have ended up in a bin lorry.
About 4,430 tonnes of waste have been searched so far at a landfill site at Milton, Cambridgeshire.
On Monday, Suffolk Constabulary announced it would be continuing its search for the missing 23-year-old.
A police spokeswoman said: "The work is constantly being reviewed and, as the search team are still finding items from the right time frame that are identifiable as coming from the town, the search will continue on a week by week basis.
"Throughout the search officers have been working to understand exactly where waste was deposited and how it may have been spread out during the process.
"This week police will be bulk-moving further material to allow the work to continue."
The force said it had carried out further work based on the GPS data from the refuse truck which brought the waste to the landfill site.
This information, the spokeswoman said, meant the area being searched at the tip had been expanded.

The report said cutting the higher rate from 40% to 30% would bring in about £500m extra a year after 10 years.
The higher rate is currently paid on annual taxable income of between £43,001 and £150,000.
Control over income tax is due to be split between UK and Welsh ministers, once an agreement can be reached.
The report, by Prof James Foreman-Peck and Dr Peng Zhou, assumed no change in England's tax rates.
Although they predicted tax income in Wales could fall in the first three years after a cut, the authors said receipts should rise in the longer term as high earners find it worthwhile to move from England.
"The encouragement to some households to immigrate, increasing Welsh taxable income, is greater than the revenue lost from the reduction in the rate", the report said.
For the top earners with income of more than £150,000 a year - about one in 100 UK residents - a cut in the additional 45% rate should also boost tax income in Wales, it added.
But the report said cutting the basic 20% rate would not boost migration sufficiently to make up for the lost revenue from existing taxpayers in Wales.
Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies has said he would like to see a 5p cut in the higher 40% rate of tax and a 2p cut in the basic 20% rate, although the party's manifesto for May's assembly election did not include these figures.
He said this research "reignites the debate about tax devolution", adding: "A Welsh Government with the courage to cut income tax rates could reinvigorate the Welsh economy, whist offering welcome support to hardworking families."

Reducing the higher rate of income tax in Wales would raise additional revenue by attracting high earners, according to research by Cardiff Business School.

The cockpit voice recorder from the accident off Shetland in 2013, in which four people died, was recovered by the Air Accidents Investigation Branch.
Prosecutors have not been able to access vital data to examine whether anyone was criminally responsible.
The ruling will be issued at midday.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) has the right to initial access to the cockpit voice recorder but it routinely chooses not to hand over the material to other bodies - in this case the Crown prosecutors.
The BBC Scotland news website revealed last year an order was being sought at the Court of Session to access the data. It is a rare legal move.
A total of 18 people were on board when the Super Puma crashed on its approach to Sumburgh.

Neilson and assistant Stevie Crawford signed new deals to take them up until the end of season 2017-18.
Saturday's 1-0 win over Kilmarnock moves the Edinburgh club 11 points clear in third place.
"I think there's a long way to go at this club and I want to be part of it," Neilson told BBC Scotland.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"There's potential to keep building and take the club to where it belongs.
"That's the long term goal [to try and win the league]. It's not going to happen overnight. We need to try and build the young players coming through. We have to balance it off with selling players and producing our own and bringing good talent in."
Hearts missed two attempts from the penalty spot as they were made to battle for all three points at home to Kilmarnock, with Jamie Walker managing to score on the rebound from his effort.
"It's good to get three points against a tough team," said Neilson. "We had a couple of chances to kill the game off, it's something we need to improve.
"It gives us a lift after the disappointment last weekend at Dundee United.
"There will still be a lot of twists and turns before the end of the season, everyone can beat everyone in this league. You see today we're playing second bottom and really had to grind out a 1-0 result. Dundee United go to Ross County and win 3-0 so it just shows you there's a good standard here."
Kilmarnock manager Lee Clark thought his side played well enough to earn at least a point but said his players have much to improve on if they are to avoid the relegation play-off.
The Rugby Park men are two points adrift in 11th, while Dundee United closed the gap at the bottom to eight points, with Mixu Paatelainen's men having a game in hand.
"We're disappointed with how we've given the penalty away," said Clark. "It is a penalty. I'm disappointed we haven't done more to help out our goalkeeper after a terrific save.
"In our predicament we need to get results. Good performances and not getting points on the board aren't sufficient for us.
"I've said to the players I think we've wasted the first half because we were waiting for things to happen rather than making them happen. We did that better in the second half.
"Our defensive displays have been good. We've given a disappointing penalty away, two disappointing penalties really. We've had lots of possession, lots of situations, but we need to work the goalkeeper a lot more."

Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson says he extended his Tynecastle contract because he wants to lead the club to the Premiership title.

There was little to choose between the sides in the first half, before the goal deluge began with two inside a minute just after the interval.
Kane Richards' pass released Johnny Hunt to put Chester ahead on 51 minutes before James Alabi quickly doubled their lead after a powerful run.
Chester then scored three more in the final 11 minutes, triggered by Elliott Durrell firing home from the penalty spot after being fouled himself.
James Akintunde then teed up winger Craig Mahon to blast in a piledriver.
Substitute Akintunde still had time to get in on the act, heading in Durrell's left-wing cross, to complete City's biggest win in seven months and lift Jon McCarthy's side into the National League top half.
Chester's fifth successive game without conceding a goal is their best run at this level or above in 14 years, matching the five clean sheets with which they started the 2002-03 season.

The 32-year-old has stepped up his rehabilitation after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in October.
And he told Rangers TV: "It is going quite well and I am doing fitness work outside now on the pitch and I'm doing a lot of gym work.
"Come May, hopefully I can join in with the lads and do a full session, but the goal is to be fit for next season."
The Croatia international joined Rangers from New York Cosmos in the summer and was beginning to find form when injury struck.
"It happened in training, my foot got stuck while I was doing a dribble and I went over on my knee and unfortunately ruptured the ACL," added Kranjcar, who scored three goals before being sidelined.
"You have to be patient with these injuries and I think it is really important to have it 100% before I start doing any harder work."
The former QPR, Dynamo Kiev, Tottenham and Portsmouth star revealed the injury lay-off has made for one of the most difficult periods of his career.
"The recovery process has been a nightmare," Kranjcar said. "This is definitely the worst injury I have ever had, the longest I had been out before was probably two months and this is between six and nine months.
"It is a long road and it is quite lonely. It has its ups and downs, the easiest thing to do is always to give up but once you do start doing your rehab I think there is always a voice in your head telling you to get through it.
"Obviously there are days when you watch a game of football and you're not involved so it is hard and you just wish you could play.
"I have great support at home from my missus and from my whole family and all my friends. I have been in football ages now and that helps.
"I am happy that I got injured? Of course not, it is frustrating, it is hard but I do have a motivation to come back as good as I was before the injury so I guess that is something which keeps me going."

Rangers midfielder Niko Kranjcar hopes to fully recover from a knee injury in time for the start of next season.

Eggborough Power Station near Selby, North Yorkshire, will provide extra capacity to the grid next winter.
A spokeswoman for the firm said the deal would safeguard the jobs of 85% of the workforce for a year.

Power will be supplied as part of the National Grid's Supplemental Balancing Reserve scheme, which is designed to provide extra electricity in the event that there is insufficient capacity in the market to meet demand.

But Leeds chief executive Gary Hetherington has warned it could be the last played in England for some time.
Hetherington said Super League champions Leeds would have been prepared to travel to Australia.
He said: "It turned out to be too short a time scale for 2012 but it's very much on the agenda for the future."
The game will be played on Friday, 17 February.
NRL Grand Final winners Manly had proposed a Middle Eastern venue.
Hetherington told a press conference at Headingley: "Whilst there has been talk about [playing outside England] for the last eight or nine years, it's never really got far.
The fact we were prepared to play in Australia probably took the Australians by surprise
"But just recently there does seem to be an appetite, particularly from the Australian clubs, to start to explore that possibility.
"I think the fact that we were prepared to play the game in Australia probably took the Australians by surprise and it made the NRL think seriously about staging it.
"A lot of preparatory work could be done. Indeed, if it was to be in Dubai or the Emirates, work could start now for 2013."
The Rhinos have managed to secure home advantage after playing their four previous fixtures at Elland Road, home of Leeds United.
Huddersfield's Galpharm Stadium, which hosted three Challenges featuring Bradford Bulls, was considered because of its undersoil heating but Hetherington is confident Headingley can be protected against frost.
"We desperately want to win the game and if our crowd and our home stadium gives us that edge we'll certainly take it," added Hetherington.
"Whatever the weather can throw up, we'll make sure the pitch is fit. We now have a lot of technology and we won't have a game here for two weeks prior to that game."
With Headingley's capacity currently set at 20,000, the crowd will be well down on the Rhinos' previous Club Challenge matches at Elland Road. Leeds' meeting with Manly in 2009, which the Aussies won 28-20, was watched by 32,569.
Last year saw St George Illawarra beat Wigan 21-15 at the DW Stadium.

Sam Warburton and Justin Tipuric were the flankers in the 21-16 defeat in Cardiff, with Ross Moriarty outstanding at number eight.
Moriarty was replaced in the second half by fit-again Taulupe Faletau - but ex-flanker Williams said Wales "can't drop" the Gloucester man.
"It's working at the minute," he said.
"You keep the same back row. And you've got Faletau to come off the bench."
Media playback is not supported on this device
Faletau's second-half appearance was his comeback following a knee injury suffered playing for Bath on 24 December.
Cardiff Blues' Warburton, Tipuric of Ospreys and Gloucester's Moriarty also started in Wales' opening Six Nations game - the 33-7 win in Italy.
Williams, who won 100 caps for Wales between 1996 and 2012, has been impressed with the form of 22-year-old Moriarty for club and country.
"He was simply sensational for the time he was on the park last week," Williams told BBC Wales' Scrum V programme.
"You can't drop someone like Moriarty. Again on Friday night for Gloucester against Saracens he was outstanding. If somebody's in that form just keep them going.
"There's always been a debate come Warburton and Tipuric playing together and it's been so far so good in this tournament."
Williams also believes wing Alex Cuthbert responded in style to criticism of his performance in the defeat by England with a try in the Blues' 57-20 win over Treviso.
Cuthbert missed a tackle on Elliot Daly for England's winning try in the Six Nations match and was released back to his region.
Blues head coach Danny Wilson has urged Welsh fans to back the 26-year-old wing while Williams was impressed with the performance of his former team-mate against Treviso.
"It just shows his mental strength," Williams said. "He could easily have had the week off and go and hide but he wanted to play and it was the old Alex Cuthbert.
"It was good to see him back in form."

The ICC Development Programme Annual Awards have been running since 2002 and are open to countries who are associate and affiliate members.
Cricket Scotland's Ian Sandbrook said: "This is great recognition for our clubs, schools, coaches, volunteers and staff that have all put in a huge amount of effort to grow and sustain the game we love."
The winner of the ICC award receives a cricket equipment grant of £3,500 to its national cricket body.
Cricket Scotland's head of participation was delighted to receive such recognition for its grassroots programmes.
"We are continually looking at how we can improve our work with clubs, schools and other key stakeholders to attract new people to the game and build a sustainable future for cricket," said Sandbrook.
"Great initiatives like the Thriving Clubs Programme, CricketForce, Community Coaching Programme, our new Club Awards, Last Man Stands leagues, the roll out of the curriculum for excellence programme, and our continued growth in female cricket, has started to establish a stronger foundation for the game to flourish.
"From my perspective, we have only just started and we're absolutely committed to building on this to take cricket to the next level in Scotland."
Meanwhile, Scotland will play two one-day internationals against Afghanistan at The Grange in Edinburgh on 4 and 6 July, with Hong Kong visiting the same venue on 8 and 10 September.

The amount of money paid to home owners and businesses producing electricity from roof-top panels is to fall from 12.92p per kilowatt hour to 4.39p.
Based on government estimates, 1,870 out of 3,230 jobs are at risk.
Sheffield council voted on Wednesday to stop fitting panels on homes because it was no longer affordable.
The region has been one of the largest adopters of the renewable energy source, with 62,149 solar homes and 1,744 big solar rooftops on schools, warehouses and other commercial buildings.
In 2011, roof-top panels were fitted to Bradford Cathedral, at a cost of £50,000, making it the first in the UK to generate power in such a way.
If a company has gone bust, householders with solar panels should check whether the equipment has insurance-backed warranty, which may cover repairs.
If this is not the case, the Solar Trade Association can put people in touch with a member who is part of its repair agreement service.
The average cost for a 4kWp system, which comprises 16 panels, is about £5,600.
The feed-in-tariff system was designed to give financial incentive for home owners and businesses to install the equipment.
It pays producers a subsidy for the electricity they generate, plus a bonus for any electricity exported back to the national grid.
Homeowner Dan Andrews had the solar panels fitted at Christmas and said he would not have paid almost £8,000 for them under the new tariff.
"We wouldn't have done it with the changes being brought in," he said.
"It's a big investment over a long period of time and it's not worth the risk when the payback could be in 15 or 20 years time."
The industry said the cut, which comes into effect from midnight, had already cost 6,500 jobs nationally and estimated up to a total of 18,700 jobs could be under threat across the UK.
Thomas Newby, managing director of The Phoenix Works, a renewable energy installation company in Farsley, said solar panels represented 60% of his turnover and the reduction put the firm in "a lot of difficulty".
"A lot of people buy them in part for ideological reasons but there's obviously a financial element and it's got to make financial sense."
The government said it continued to support low carbon sector but for it be sustainable it needed to be driven by competition and innovation, not subsidies.

The authorities expressed concern over the incident and called for both countries "to do more" to contribute towards peace.
But Beijing did not condemn North Korea's actions.
Apart from issuing a couple of bland statements, the authorities here have said nothing.
That is not surprising.
When it comes to North Korea, Beijing almost never criticises its neighbour, no matter how troublesome it proves.
The state-run media has followed suit.
It has not pointed the finger at Pyongyang and gave play to North Korean claims that the border exchange was triggered by South Korea.
One newspaper editorial even praised Pyongyang for showing what it called "toughness" during the skirmish.
Beijing, however, finds itself in a difficult position.
It is North Korea's main ally, supplying much of the country's food and fuel.
It is also a relationship that was forged during the Korean War and has now lasted more than half a century.
When the reclusive North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il, needs foreign backing, he boards his train and heads to China.
He has been in the country twice this year.
Once after the sinking of a South Korean warship, which a team of international investigators said was caused by a North Korean torpedo.
And then ahead of a major military parade in which his son, Kim Jong-un, was unveiled as his likely successor.
Beijing views the country as a buffer state against a democratic South Korea and American forces stationed there.
And if the North Korean regime were to collapse, hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of refugees would cross the border.
In recent years, however, the relationship between the two countries has been strained.
After North Korea detonated a nuclear device for the first time in 2006, Beijing voted to impose UN sanctions on the country.
It was a rare moment when China sought to publicly punish the regime.
With China now a world power some Chinese see their country's continued support of North Korea as something of an embarrassment.
Indeed, the West hopes that Beijing can exert its influence in Pyongyang to ease tensions.
But for all the help the authorities here give their neighbour, it is unclear how much leverage China actually has over North Korea.
While in public the Chinese authorities will not be criticising North Korea, in private, there will be deep concerns in Beijing that Pyongyang's actions could threaten regional stability.
This latest attack may strengthen those in Beijing who view the country as more of a liability than an asset.
|
While Western leaders and editorials have condemned North Korea's artillery barrage of its southern neighbour on Tuesday, in China the response has been more muted.

It said the "damning" information on the new driver-only-operated (DOO) services came from passengers and rail workers.
Southern said industrial action and a drivers' overtime ban had displaced its on-board supervisors "on occasions".
A 24-hour walkout by RMT conductors on the Southern network over changes to their roles is under way.
Southern is replacing conductors with on-board supervisors (OBS) who would no longer be in charge of closing train doors.
The company has said the changes it is making are "small" and "safe".
But the RMT believes public safety is at risk. It also says a second member of staff on trains is critical.
The union said that, in previous correspondence to MPs, Southern anticipated 0.06% of trains would run without an OBS, the equivalent to one service, every two days.
But the RMT said information provided for five days - 9, 12, 14, 15 and 18 January - suggested 15 trains travelled without one. It said this was at least six times more trains than promised.
RMT General Secretary Mick Cash said the union believed the instances of trains running without a second person were "far more widespread and will rapidly and substantially increase".
A Southern spokesperson said: "Last-minute changes to some services caused by the industrial action and the drivers' overtime ban has displaced the on-board supervisor so that, on occasions, they've not been able to join the train.
"Previously, this train would have had to be cancelled but we can now run the service and avoid disrupting hundreds of passengers."

Many more Southern trains than promised are travelling without a second member of staff, the RMT union has claimed.

2012 Olympic bronze medallist Conlan has signed professional terms with the American-based promoter Top Rank.
Colorado native Ibarra, 26, has lost four of his nine pro bouts - including three defeats in his last five fights.
Katie Taylor boxes in New York the next day on the undercard of Gennady Golovkin's contest with Daniel Jacobs.
Meanwhile, Carl Frampton has been named as Ring magazine's 2016 fighter of the year.
The Belfast boxer, 29, wins the award after a year that saw him defeat the previously unbeaten Leo Santa Cruz to win the WBA featherweight title.
That meant Frampton became the first Northern Ireland fighter to win world titles at two weights.
Frampton's contest with Santa Cruz was rated as a classic and the duo have a rematch in Las Vegas on 28 January.
Prior to his New York victory over Santa Cruz, Frampton defeated England's Scott Quigg on points in their world super-bantamweight title unification bout.
The Belfast fighter edged out Terence Crawford, Roman Gonzalez, Vasyl Lomachenko and Manny Pacquiao for the Ring award.

A television documentary has alleged Blatter has stayed away from the country since 2011 over a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) probe.
But the 79-year-old Swiss said: "I know that in the US there is an investigation against former people who have been in my government.
"There is nothing against me."
The investigation into alleged football corruption reportedly involves ex-Fifa executive committee members, American Chuck Blazer and Trinidadian Jack Warner.
Blatter added he plans to visit the US in June 2016, to coincide with next year's Copa America tournament.
He last visited the US in May 2011 for a meeting of North American confederation Concacaf, and it had been suggested - including in an ESPN documentary this week - that he had deliberately stayed away since then due to the probe.
However, Blatter, who is currently running for a fifth term as president of football's world governing body, said: "I will be there if elected. Even if not elected, they will invite me I am sure."
Earlier on Friday, Blatter sent a letter to all 209 Fifa member associations identifying several areas where "there is still work to be done", including promoting women's football, combating discrimination and racism, and cracking down on match fixing.
A Fifa spokesman said it was unconnected to Blatter's bid for re-election.
Election rules state that candidates must not mix campaign activities with duties connected to their official positions.
Fifa's member associations will appoint their next president when they meet in Zurich on 29 May.

Fifa chief Sepp Blatter says he is not being investigated by United States authorities - but admitted former colleagues are.

There is a buoyancy about the Labour campaign at the moment, his public performances have improved, and his team believe he has more to gain than to lose from taking part in this big set-piece campaign event.
And for today at least, it gives Labour a tactical advantage, ammunition to portray Theresa May as cowering and afraid of making her arguments.
Tory sources say there is no chance that she will change her mind and join him in the last minute dash to the debate.
One source said: "This election isn't about who can squabble with six other politicians - it's about who can negotiate against 27 other nations."
But it makes her vulnerable to the charge that she is evading scrutiny, despite the fact that, like the other leaders, she has been taking regular questions from journalists and will take part in another big public Q&A on Friday night.
It's the direct head-to-head debate with Jeremy Corbyn that she, just like David Cameron in 2015, has refused to take part in.
Exactly as in the wider election campaign, the incumbent, the frontrunner has everything to lose, the insurgent opponent, everything to gain.
Earlier I wrote that Jeremy Corbyn had nothing to lose in taking part in tonight's big debate, he is clearly enjoying being the insurgent in this campaign, with some of the polls tightening and his message getting a wider hearing.
He has indeed, a lot to less to lose than the incumbent, Theresa May who is the frontrunner.
But Labour sources also suggest he had an additional motivation.
I'm told that Mr Corbyn and his team wanted to move on from a day of damaging headlines about his lack of grip on his childcare policy, "quick fast".
His decision to take part after weeks of refusing to do so has certainly changed the subject.
That's denied by sources close to the Labour leader, who say their feeling from Tuesday morning was to take part, but logistical issues meant that the team and Mr Corbyn weren't able to make the final decision until this morning.

After flirting with the idea for the last few weeks, Jeremy Corbyn's confirmed he will take part in the seven-way party leaders' debate tonight in Cambridge.

Duckett, 21, is in England's winter tour squad to Bangladesh after scoring 1,338 Championship runs this summer.
Chris Woakes was named England Test Player of the Summer and Tammy Beaumont was voted Women's Player of the Summer.
Duckett said the awards are "probably the highlight of my summer".
He added: "I got my England call-ups and so many other things have happened. If someone had said at the start of the season that all this would happen I wouldn't have believed it.
"What makes the PCA awards so special is that you are voted for by your peers. People who you play against vote for you and that means a lot to me. I can't keep the smile off my face. I wasn't expecting this."
Beaumont scored centuries in her three England one-day internationals against Pakistan and helped Kent complete a Championship and T20 double.
She beat Natalie Sciver and Lauren Winfield to the award, voted for by her fellow England players.
"It's been a bit of a breakthrough summer for me. I hadn't really cemented my place before so to have a season like that was unbelievable," Beaumont said.

As well as allowing robots to quickly respond to potential damage to their systems, it could also protect humans who are increasingly working alongside them.
The scientists plan to base the system on "insights from human pain research".
To test it, they fitted a robotic arm with a fingertip sensor that could detect pressure and temperature.
The researchers, from Leibniz University in Hannover, are developing a system that would allow a robot to "be able to detect and classify unforeseen physical states and disturbances, rate the potential damage they may cause to it and initiate appropriate countermeasures, ie reflexes", they explained.
Just as human neurons transmit pain, the artificial ones will pass on information that can be classified by the robot as either light, moderate or severe pain.
Researcher Johannes Kuehn told IEEE Spectrum: "Pain is a system that protects us. When we move away from the source of pain, it helps us not get hurt."
Teaching robots about a range of stimulus is important, robotics expert from Cambridge University Prof Fumiya Iida told the BBC.
"Getting robots to learn is one of the most challenging things but is fundamental because it will make them more intelligent," he said.
"Learning is all about trial and error. When a child learns that falling over causes pain, it then learns to do it with more skill."

Prices in November were 4.4% higher than a year earlier, compared with a 4.6% increase in October.
The building society said prices rose by 0.1% from the month before, with the average cost of a home now £204,947.
Nationwide said there were signs that demand for houses had picked up in the past few months.
"There are some signs that, despite the uncertain economic outlook, demand conditions have strengthened a little in recent months, reflecting the impact of solid labour market conditions and historically low borrowing costs," said Robert Gardner, Nationwide's chief economist.
"Mortgage approvals increased in October, and surveyors report that new buyer enquiries have increased modestly.
"The relatively low number of homes on the market and modest rates of housing construction are likely to keep the demand/supply balance fairly tight in the quarters ahead, even if economic conditions weaken, as most forecasters expect."

The BBC understands that both companies are keen to sign a so-called "statement of intent" before the week Geneva Motor show starts on 6 March to prevent ongoing speculation overshadowing the release of new models.
Events that will determine the future of Vauxhall in the UK have been moving very quickly.
Since last week's surprise announcement that GM was considering a sale, senior management from both companies have met with politicians and unions in Germany and the UK. They fear that PSA, partially owned by the French government, may cut jobs outside France.
In a call with Prime Minister Theresa May last night, the PSA boss "expressed willingness to develop the iconic Vauxhall brand for its faithful customers". That's not quite the same as guaranteeing the future of 4,500 Vauxhall workers at Luton, Ellesmere Port and throughout the UK.
An outline deal will signal the start months of intense lobbying across Europe. Progress after any deal is signed will be slower.
It doesn't make much financial sense to stop production of a car before a new model is introduced and the Astra produced at Ellesmere Port is not due for an update till 2020. At that point, Ellesmere Port is considered particularly vulnerable to competition from a PSA plant in Sochaux in France.
The cost and complexity of moving car production at any point is formidable. Supply chains, logistics and IT platforms would require years of modifying.
For example, I'm told that at the Jaguar Land Rover plants in the UK, computers still briefly show a Ford prompt when users log in - and Ford sold JLR to Tata a decade ago.
Nevertheless, one thing all industry experts appear to agree on is that the 24 plants in Europe that a combined company would have is too many.
With only two factories of those 24 - and those plants soon to be outside the EU - the UK is considered the lightweight in this manufacturing tug-of-war.
The government here has stressed its support for the automotive sector with particular emphasis on new electric vehicles and battery technology - something considered key in convincing Nissan to promise increased investment in the UK.

A draft agreement to sell General Motors' European business to PSA, the owner of Peugeot and Citroen, could be signed as early as next week.

Can he pull off a far bigger ask of actually beating him, and demolishing Mr Corbyn's mountain of membership support?
On his side is, finally perhaps, unity among the vast majority of Labour MPs and MEPs.
Angela Eagle dropped out with dignity so that there would be only one candidate. Owen Smith was warm in his tribute to her tonight and dropped heavy hints about campaigning side by side with her in the next two months to smooth the way for senior MPs to work together.
It's understood that he has promised her the position of shadow chancellor if he wins the post. And despite some disquiet inside the party about not fielding a female candidate, in most quarters there is relief and a new focus now there is only one candidate and the race is under way.
Yet if the contest were held tomorrow it's highly likely that Mr Corbyn would win again, setting off an unpredictable chain of events that might lead to the party's end. MPs have withdrawn their support, made it clear that they don't think he is up to the job, former ministers, former party leaders, some of his former supporters have made it abundantly clear they don't think he is up to the job.
Yet still he has hung on, and his team are as determined to battle on through a long, hot summer.
As I write, they feel sure the core of the membership is on their side.
There is however from MPs and even from some union sources, anecdotal evidence that his party support is shakier than it once was. One union boss told me "it has to be Owen".
But last summer Mr Corbyn and his team set off something not seen for many years, a political excitement among some people on the left that propelled him into office.
Turning that around, not least without causing resentment and disillusionment, is a massive task. But by manoeuvring himself onto the ballot Mr Smith has shown he has the energy and ambition to give it a damn good try.

In the last two weeks Owen Smith has gone from someone who one MP described as "just playing games" to being the official challenger to Jeremy Corbyn.

Willie Boy O'Neill, three, and Tojo O'Neill, two, formerly of Caldon Road, were last seen on 3 August.
They are believed to be in the company of their parents, Claire Watson, 32 and 39-year-old Robert O'Neill (39).
The children were reported missing after council officials became concerned for their welfare after failing to contact the family.
Willie Boy is described as being of slim build with fair hair, whilst Tojo is stocky with fair hair.
Since being reported missing to police last week, officers have made extensive inquiries in England - where there are family connections - to trace the family.
So far, there have been no positive sightings of the children, except for the whole family being seen together within the Rivergate Shopping Centre in Irvine at 14:45 on Sunday 3 August.
Police have appealed for anyone with information about the children's whereabouts to contact them urgently.

It was not immediately clear what had happened, with spokeswoman Heather Nauert saying there were no "definitive answers about the source or cause".
But Ms Nauert refused to be drawn further on what the symptoms were.
But one source told the Associated Press news agency the symptoms reported included hearing loss.
It was suggested the hearing loss could have been caused by some kind of sonic device placed outside the diplomats' homes, emitting inaudible sound waves that can cause deafness.
Staff began complaining of the strange symptoms late last year, Ms Nauert said.
While they were not life-threatening, she revealed a number of people had been brought home to the US as a result.
Ms Nauert said the government was taking it "very seriously, and there is an investigation currently under way".
It is understood that the two expelled Cuban diplomats left Washington DC in May, the BBC's Will Grant reports from Havana.
So far, their government has not responded to the reports.
Washington and Havana only re-established ties in 2015, following 50 years of hostilities between the two countries.

The birds kill sticklebacks by striking them against their perches, which softens the spines of the fish, making them easier to swallow.
But a kingfisher at Montrose Basin appears to have gone a step further by using the spines to pin three sticklebacks to its branch.
The bird's unusual behaviour was captured by photographer Ron Mitchell.
Anna Cheshier, Angus ranger at Scottish Wildlife Trust's Montrose Basin wildlife reserve, said the kingfisher visited every day.
She said: "The photographer who took the images didn't realise what he had captured until he took them into the visitor centre the following day.
"It's hard to tell if the kingfisher has hung the fish on the branch accidentally or on purpose, but this is really unusual behaviour that no-one seems to be able to explain.
"We'd like anyone who has seen anything like this before to get in touch."
Kingfishers are found around lochs, ponds and rivers and rely on clean water to be able to dive for small fish and aquatic insects.
There are around 5,000 breeding pairs in the UK.

Peter Whittle, the party's culture spokesman, was selected over deputy chair of UKIP Suzanne Evans.
In a BBC interview he said his priority would be to encourage people to stay in London rather than being forced to leave the city for financial reasons.
He also said he was opposed to the expansion of Heathrow airport.
And Mr Whittle believes people in the City of London would not be concerned if UKIP won, claiming many in the financial sector want to leave the EU.
When Mr Whittle was asked if Ms Evans would have made a stronger candidate than him, he insisted it had been a robust and fair selection process, and he was good friends with Ms Evans.
He denied she was not chosen because of disagreements she had had with party leader Nigel Farage.
Mr Farage said: "Peter has been an asset to UKIP for many years, and I am delighted to learn that the party has elected him as our candidate in the battle to become London Mayor."
Mr Whittle was born in Peckham, grew up in Shooters Hill and has lived and worked in the capital his whole life. He also set up the New Culture Forum think tank.
UKIP also announced Ms Evans would stand as a candidate in the London Assembly elections.
The radio DJ Mike Read will also stand as a candidate for the party in the London Assembly elections.
Tooting MP Sadiq Khan has been selected as Labour's mayoral candidate, the Lib Dems have chosen Caroline Pidgeon, the Green Party has Sian Berry and George Galloway will represent The Respect Party.

Liverpool boss Klopp counselled the player through a difficult time when they were at Borussia Dortmund in 2013.
Earlier this season, Mkhitaryan did not play in the league for 10 weeks and remembered Klopp's previous advice.
"I am thankful to Klopp. He worked on my personality and the psychological part," 28-year-old Mkhitaryan said.
The Armenian spent two seasons working under Klopp in Germany before the coach quit, later taking over at Liverpool in October 2015.
Within eight months, the playmaker was following his old boss to the Premier League, joining United for a reported £26.3m.
However, after being substituted at half-time during United's 2-1 home defeat by Manchester City on 10 September, he did not play in the Premier League again until 27 November.
"At Dortmund, I was very stressed after a few games when we were playing really bad," added Mkhitaryan, who has scored five times this season.
"Klopp showed me the way. He supported me and told me I had to keep my head up because good things were coming. He helped me to become a player."
The move to the Premier League was another step on a remarkable journey for Mkhitaryan, who speaks six languages - including English - and is the son of one of Armenia's most famous footballers.
Father Hamlet was also an Armenian international and one of the first players from the country to play outside of the old Soviet Union. He died of a brain tumour when Mkhitaryan was seven.
"He was my drive, my goal, my dream," he said. "I did not feel the true impact when he died but I knew that he was watching me from the sky. He has to be very proud."
Mkhitaryan is now one of the most famous - and most wealthy - Armenians in the world. But his background is unconventional in United's multi-national squad.
He comes from a country that had a five-year conflict with neighbours Azerbaijan between 1989 and 1994 over disputed territory and still does not have normal relations with Turkey due to the treatment it received under Ottoman rule in World War One.
So Mkhitaryan had to carry out a period of national service before he was allowed to move abroad, initially to Ukraine's Metalurh Donetsk, in 2009.
"It was very hard growing up in Armenia because at that time we had a lot of problems with our neighbours and we had war, so it was a bad situation," said Mkhitaryan, speaking at a Manchester United Foundation #SchoolsUnited event in Moss Side.
"Before I could leave and be a football player I had to go to the military. I did that when I was 20. After that I was allowed to change my club."

The 24-year-old, signed in January for the rest of the season from Sheffield United, was injured in the 2-1 home defeat by Southend on 2 February.
"We've seen what a talent the lad is," Town boss Micky Mellon told BBC Sport.
"But he goes in for a tackle and he's picked up an injury."
Mellon added: "He's gutted as he came here to play and to get himself going again."
Wallace, who came on as substitute in Town's fourth round win over Sheffield Wednesday, has been limited by injuries to just 20 appearances for the Blades since signing from Tranmere Rovers in June 2014.
The former Everton trainee is on his second loan at Shrewsbury, having spent two months on loan in Shropshire during the 2011-12 season when he was still on the books at Goodison Park.
Shrewsbury have won just once in six league matches since the turn of the year, going into Saturday's key away game against fellow strugglers Blackpool, one of Town manager Micky Mellon's former clubs.
Mellon has the option of bringing in Elliot Grandin for his debut against his former club, the former Blackpool winger having signed last week until the end of the season.
It is the final time Shrewsbury will be in action before the meeting with Louis van Gaal's United.
The League One club have so far sold 6,000 tickets for their tie against the 11-times FA Cup winners on Monday, 22 February (19:45 GMT).

It was the 34-year-old American's joint earliest exit from the tournament, which she has won eight times.
"The players come out and play me like they've never played before in their lives," said Williams, who had not lost in Miami since 2012.
She has now not won a tournament since August, when she claimed the 69th title of her career, in Cincinnati.
"I don't think it's appropriate to criticise my movement right now," she added, in response to questions from reporters. "I did the best that I could. I can't win every match."
Kuznetsova said she was "really thrilled" but apologised to fans who hoped to see more of Williams at this tournament.
She added: "I tried to stay at a good level the whole game. I think I did that pretty well and I'm happy with the way I served."
Poland's third seed Agnieszka Radwanska also lost, beaten 2-6 6-4 6-2 by 19th seed Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland.
Also on Monday, British number one Johanna Konta beat 32nd seed Monica Niculescu 6-2 6-2 to reach the quarter-finals, while Heather Watson was defeated 6-3 6-4 by Romania's Simona Halep.

According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the insect group is the most threatened of those assessed so far in Europe.
Europe harbours more than 1,000 species of grasshopper and cricket.
If we don't act now the sound of crickets could become a thing of the past, said the IUCN.
Crickets, bush crickets and grasshoppers - a group known as Orthoptera - live on grassland.
They are an important food source for birds and reptiles, and their decline could affect entire ecosystems.
Their habitat is being lost due to wildfires, intensive agriculture and tourism development.
Jean-Christophe Vié, deputy director, IUCN Global Species Programme, said to bring these species back from the brink of extinction, more needs to be done to protect and restore their habitats.
"This can be done through sustainable grassland management using traditional agricultural practices, for example," he said.
"If we do not act now, the sound of crickets in European grasslands could soon become a thing of the past."
The assessment took place over two years and involved more than 150 scientists.
Axel Hochkirch is chair of the IUCN invertebrate conservation sub-committee and lead author of the report.
"If we lose grasshoppers and other Orthoptera like crickets and bush crickets, we will lose diversity," he told BBC News. "They are very good indicators of biodiversity in open ecosystems."
The experts are particularly concerned about species that occupy small ranges, such as the Crau plain grasshopper, which lives only on the Crau plain in the South of France.
Some populations are also being lost through wildfires, particularly in Greece and on the Canary Islands.
"The results from this IUCN Red List are deeply worrying," said Luc Bas, director of the IUCN European Regional Office.
The report recommends the setting up of a monitoring programme across Europe to obtain information on population trends.

The Zimbabwe-born left-hander has played 21 Tests for England, the last of them against Bangladesh in October.
After being recalled to the Test team for last summer's home series against Pakistan, Ballance made just 24 runs in four innings during England's drawn series in Bangladesh and did not feature in the 4-0 defeat in India at the end of 2016.
Ballance will captain Yorkshire in all three formats in 2017 having replaced Andrew Gale, who retired to become Yorkshire head coach in November.

The Christmas Day meals will take place in Manchester, Leeds and London after Mr Sissay, who is Chancellor of Manchester University, raised £38,000.
The poet, who was in a Wigan children's home from the age of 12 to 18, said he wanted to create happy memories.
A group of volunteers has sourced the venues, transport, food and presents.
The dinners are being provided for care leavers in the three cities who are aged between 18 and 30.
"At its most simple the Christmas dinner offers a memory so next year the person can look back and think I was worth something then," Mr Sissay said.
"Christmas Day actually exposes the inadequacies of a system which treats children as if they are a problem because that day the child stands alone thinking 'I must be a problem, I'm obviously not worth anything because there is nobody here'."
The 48-year-old said his own early Christmas memories were "without family in virtually empty children's homes with staff who didn't want to be there".
"You have this secret room inside yourself and as Christmas approaches you draw back to that room. Each time you hear or feel the nature of family you are reminded of what you just do not have."
Mr Sissay said he believes people continue to feel isolated at Christmas after leaving care.
The first Christmas dinner took place in Manchester in 2013 and was extended to a second city, London, in 2014.
The money has been raised through crowd funding.

Her condition is stable and she has been advised to rest, doctors at Delhi's Ganga Ram Hospital said.
Mrs Gandhi, 69, is the widow of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
She is the head of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty, which has mostly governed India since independence in 1947.
Mrs Gandhi was admitted earlier this month after suffering from dehydration, fever and sustaining an injury during a campaign event in the city of Varanasi.
She underwent surgery to repair the shoulder injury, and was discharged from hospital on Sunday.
"Sonia Gandhi's medical condition at the time of discharge from the hospital is stable. She has been advised rest and continuation of medicines," DS Rana of Ganga Ram Hospital was quoted as saying by the Press Trust of India news agency.
"Mrs Gandhi is likely to visit the hospital for further evaluation of her condition in the coming week."
Her party lost the 2014 general elections to Mr Modi's Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
In 2011 Mrs Gandhi went to the US to receive surgery for an undisclosed medical condition. In 2013, she was taken to a hospital for a few hours after she fell ill in parliament.
And in 2014, she was admitted to a Delhi hospital for treatment of an infection.

Holders Dundalk made eight changes after Thursday's superb Europa Cup win over Maccabi Tel-Aviv but they led 2-0 at the break with clinical finishing.
A header from Dean Shiels was followed by Ciaran Kilduff's composed volley.
Rory Patterson poked in before substitute Curtis rifled home to set up a Brandywell replay on Tuesday.
Dundalk boss Stephen Kenny rung the changes after Dundalk beat Maccabi 1-0 to become to the first Irish side to secure a group stage victory in European football.
Derry hoped to take advantage of any tiredness and the visitors made an impressive start with Patterson's glancing header bringing out out an excellent save from Gabriel Sava.
City were on top but Dundalk netted with their first meaningful attack on 21 minutes - Alan Keane jinked through on the right and his cross was met by Shiels with a diving header.
Shiels, the son of Derry boss Kenny, suffered an elbow injury as he scored and he was forced off with former Candystripes midfielder Patrick McEleney his replacement.
McEleney created the second goal in first-half added time, a dinked pass finding Kilduff and striker flicked the ball beyond keeper Gerard Doherty.
The two players combined again five minutes after the restart with Kilduff, who netted the goal against Macabbi, seeing his header smash against the woodwork from a McEleney cross.
Derry kept battling and they were rewarded when Patterson pounced to tap in after Sava failed to hold Aaron McEnuff's deflected shot on 65 minutes.
Curtis netted a deserved leveller, a fine first touch setting him up to blast low inside the post from 20 yards.
Dundalk had a chance to to win it in injury-time winner but the unmarked David McMillan sent his effort high and wide.

The four-match contest should have begun in Brisbane on Thursday, but that Test will now start on 17 December.
The traditional Melbourne Boxing Day Test is unchanged, but the Sydney Test is put back three days to 6 January.
The changes have been made because of welfare concerns for Australia's players grieving for Hughes, 25, whose funeral will take place on Wednesday.
The left-handed Australia opener died on Thursday after being struck on the neck by a ball during a domestic Sheffield Shield match.
The funeral service will take place in the sports hall of Macksville High School, which Hughes attended, and will be broadcast live in Australia and on big screens at the Sydney Cricket Ground and Adelaide Oval.
"Nobody should underestimate just what these players are going through right now," said Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland.
"These are difficult days and we need to support them in dealing with their grief. It's very clear that playing a Test right now is just too soon and we are reacting accordingly.
"While this wasn't done by design, it is somewhat fitting that the first Test will take place in Adelaide at Phillip's adopted home ground where we hope the match can be a seen as a celebration of his life."
The India squad, currently in Adelaide, were supposed to fly to Brisbane on Monday but missed their flight.
Their two-day warm-up match against a Cricket Australia XI in Adelaide, scheduled for Friday and Saturday last week, was cancelled.
It has been reported that the Indians may now play a tour game in Adelaide on Thursday and Friday.
After the Test series with India, Australia then face the tourists in a triangular one-day international series that also involves England.
Two of those games have already been switched.
Australia and England will now open the series in Sydney on 16 January, with the Aussies taking on India in Melbourne two days later.

Australia's Test series with India will now begin in Adelaide on 9 December following the death of Phillip Hughes.
