David Cameron and family to holiday in Lanzarote

Playa Blanca, meaning white beach, is the southernmost town on the Spanish Island and the temperatures are expected to hover around 22C for the duration of their stay.

After enjoying some Spanish sun, the family will be back in Britain over the Easter weekend to spend some time with their family.

Speaking on BBC Radio Norfolk, Mr Cameron said: "I am going to be spending a bit of time with my mother-in-law.

"I think I am spending Easter Day with Samantha's family."

Lanzarote is a popular destination for British tourists and the tiny Island, which is just 37 miles long and 12 miles wide, is a favourite of Penelope Cruz, who filmed Broken Embraces there, and Jenson Button, the Formula 1 driver.

Bertie Ahern also holidayed in Lanzarote when he was Irish Prime Minister and the King of Spain has a house on the island.

Many athletes go there to train during the winter months, and it may have attracted the eye of the Camerons as it is becoming increasingly renowned for activity holidays, with Playa Blanca boasting its own surf school.

Annie Bennett, the Telegraphs travel expert on the Canary Islands, has recommended things to do and see on the island.

Evenings in Playa Blanca usually involve strolls along the promenade, stopping off to watch the sunset with a gin and tonic. The Camerons will no doubt walk along to the swish Marina Rubicn at the eastern end of the resort for dinner," she says.

It is unclear where the family will be staying, but 5 star hotels charge around 1,000 per room per night at this time of year.

WELL, this is exciting.

We're barely into April and the first Clyde boat party of the spring is upon us.

Despite being a world away from the sun-drenched booze cruises of Croatia and Ibiza, Glasgow's very own floating house-fests make up for it with well, just pure gallus-ness.

There will be many similar parties throughout the season, but this is a fine way to start.

The bill features two up and coming DJs who are - no exaggeration - Glasgow legends in the making. Jasper James is the Sub Club regular who was tipped by Jackmaster as one to watch in 2014, has had support from Skream on Radio 1 and whose gigs just keep getting bigger and better.

Barrientos is Glasgow Underground's Chilean-Scots prodigy: a fiercely intelligent, classically-trained studio genius who also makes some of the most blissful house coming out of Glasgow just now.

Do Anything You Wanna, his Pete Tong-endorsed new work with Illyus, and Los Suenos are the kind of jams that were made to be heard at a Caf Mambo sunset, if not a murky Clyde one.

Back on dry land, the party decants to Hope Street's Make Do.

Boat party attendees get in cheaper to the Glaswegian leg of LA house producer Le Youth's European Tour, which also features Waifs and Strays, The Shimmy and Don't Drop.

l 2014 Opening Boat Party with Jasper James, Saturday, Riverside Museum, 6.30pm-11pm, 18/20

GOLD Coast residents have backed calls to allow food, drinks and entertainment businesses to trade on the citys famous beaches but they have less than two days left to let the council know.

In an independent poll of 1217 residents, two thirds of those surveyed supported greater commercial access to parts of the Coasts 52km sandy strip.

WAVE OF SUPPORT FOR TRADING ON GOLD COAST BEACHES

The poll comes as Gold Coast City Council nears the end of a 24-day consultation on its Commercial Activities on Ocean Beaches Management Plan, which seeks to define the way business on beaches between Jumpinpin and Point Danger is managed.

Asked if they supported allowing commercial operations like food and beverage service and entertainment on certain designated Gold Coast beaches, 63.3 per cent of respondents to the ReachTel poll said yes, 25.8 per cent said no and 10.9 per cent were undecided.

The idea gained particular traction with locals aged 18-34, with 77.1 per cent supportive, while there was less emphatic backing from over-65s, although a majority (48.1 per cent) did support the principle.

Beach commercialisation falls under the councils Community and Cultural Development Committee.

Committee chairman Bob La Castra said his personal view on expanding commercial use of beaches was a clear no.

Im against any commercial activities on the beaches the position of the council has always been that way, although this council is more open to it and that concerns me, he said.
