Winchester Crown Court A MAN who fabricated fake quotes to allow customers to rake in thousands of pounds in grants has avoided a prison sentence. Laurence Fisk was working at Cold Control, in Ropley, near Alresford, when he became involved in a scam to submit applications for grants from Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). In 2017, the 62-year-old was approached by clients to make fake quotes in the names of other companies. His business would then get the work at a lower rate, but the customers would submit the fabricated quotes - which were always at a higher rate - to the Rural Payments Agency, who handled the funding for Defra, Winchester Crown Court was told on April 1.

The plan to open a new casino in Dublin was faced with an obstacle when Hammerson, a UK property group and Irish Life insurance group were denied permission to open a 24-hour facility in the Ilac Shopping Center.
The Shopping Center is property of the two parties, which petitioned the City Council last summer in their attempt to find a way to utilize the vacant retail unit, which was previously a house for the clothing brand Jack & Jones.
The idea was to turn the place into a two-storey casino with ancillary
“family entertainment”. Expo was the selected organization to operate the future venue.
