In Brief
HULL: Hotels and guesthouses across the city are being urged to make sure they hold the correct TV licence.
A TV licence is required if guests or staff are watching TV as it is broadcast.
For many smaller hotels and guesthouses, the cost of a licence is £145.50 a year, the same amount as a private house.
Hotels with more than 15 rooms are covered by one licence for the first 15 televisions, but will need an additional licence for every five thereafter.

HORNSEA: A crossbow was among the items stolen from a garage in the town.
Thieves broke into the building in New Road on Wednesday between 5am and 5.15am. A generator, saw and bench grinder were also taken.
The thieves then damaged a red Land Rover Defender parked near the garage.
Anyone with information should call Humberside Police on 101, referring to log 76 of February 6, 2013.
EAST RIDING: A decision to refuse permission for six wind turbines to be built near Burton Agnes is set to be appealed.
East Riding Council had turned down the application to build the 330ft turbines at Thornholme Field, in Rudston Road, but an appeal means the matter will be decided by a planning inspector at a public inquiry.
Councillors voted to reject the application in December because of the Ministry of Defence's concerns over the impact on radar at RAF Staxton Wold.
HULL: Parents are being encouraged to get clued-up about online safety.
Paul Dyson, chairman of Hull Safeguarding Children Board, said: "It is important children and young people, and their parents and carers, know how to stay safe online. Our safeguarding board website www.hullsafeguardingchildren. org.uk contains advice about e-safety."
Parents are also invited to visit www.thinkuk nowco.uk, www.childnet.com/kia and www.parentsprotect.co.uk which all contain useful tips and resources.
HORNSEA: A car with two female passengers crashed into an electricity pylon yesterday morning.
