Mayor slams 'grossly inflated' hotel prices
Liverpool's metro mayor is preparing to intervene over the price-hike for accommodation during the Eurovision Song Contest.

Steve Rotheram said he was deeply disappointed at the "grossly inflated prices" with some accommodation advertised at up to £8,000 a night.
He said he did not want anybody to be prevented from visiting the city because of the cost.
Liverpool was announced on Friday as the host of May's competition.
Mr Rotheram said Eurovision was a "welcome distraction for millions of people" following recent "turbulent" times.
"For our area it is a fantastic chance to showcase all that is good in a great city - and beyond," he said.
"That is why it is so disappointing to see some businesses in our region who have jumped at the chance to grossly inflate prices.
"I've called this behaviour out several times before, especially when football fans have been ripped off for flights and accommodation."
He said he would be talking to "political colleagues" about how to respond.
Eurovision fan Connor Gregory told BBC North West Tonight he booked his accommodation weeks ago for £200.
The day after Liverpool was announced as the host city he said his booking was cancelled.
