Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A brick-and-flint barn on the edge of the village of Bix, in Oxfordshire, is for sale in its raw state. The period barn, with a clay tiled roof, is not listed and comes with plans for conversion into a three-bedroom house. The existing barn will be the living and dining area with an open fireplace, and a new extension to the rear will include a large kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom with a main bedroom and bathroom en suite. The barn has a small garden with a raised lawn and parking area. It is close to a couple of cottages. Bix - in the foothills of the Chilterns and near National Trust land - is three miles from Henley-on-Thames. Offers in excess of pounds 100,000 through Savills (01491 579990).
For what it's worth
At last, a life after dark for Canary Wharf, in London's Docklands, is on the horizon. Manhattan Loft Corporation in partnership with the newly formed West India Quay Ltd, has just been given the go-ahead to develop West India Quay: "Very small compared with Canary Wharf, but in terms of impact it will be enormous," says Harry Handelsman, chairman of Manhattan.
Five desolate but remarkable Grade I listed warehouses along the waterfront will be turned into 100 apartments, with shops and restaurants on the ground floor. Architects will have to plan around the wooden beam and pillars inside and the elaborate exterior ironwork. The three remaining warehouses have already been earmarked for the Docklands museum.
At the back there are plans for a multiplex cinema and car park and, alongside, a 30-storey tower in the shape of a sail. Heritage Afloat is working on ideas for a permanent use of historic boats.
