Official opening for Corn Exchange after revamp

A historic corn exchange is set to officially reopen this Easter after two years of renovations.
Doncaster's restored Corn Exchange, which features five new shops and a café, will reopen to the public on Sunday.
The Grade II listed building has had a £5m revamp which was completed last November.
Dan Swaine, director of place at City of Doncaster Council, said: "This is exciting news for Doncaster and a fantastic opportunity for people to visit the city centre over the Easter weekend."
The renovation included fixing the roof, improving drainage and restoring the old windows and stonework.
New features such as a staircase, LED lights, better heating and accessible toilets have been added.
The classic architecture has been maintained and artisan Victorian-style shopfronts have been added to the former concert hall, which was built in 1870.
The shops will be open from Tuesdays to Saturdays.
The venue will host events including music performances and monthly indoor markets.
Michelle Hobson, leasing manager at Market Asset Management, which runs the building, said: "The attention surrounding the Corn Exchange has been overwhelmingly positive so far and we're proud to launching this iconic venue with such a fantastic mix of traders.
"We've worked closely with the council to restore the Corn Exchange back to many of its original features. The high-quality feel of the building's interiors and the buzz it has created for the city is quite special."

Tesla stock rises premarket after robotaxi launch — but not as much as Elon Musk might like

Tesla stock posted modest gains in premarket trading on Monday following the long-awaited launch of its robotaxi services in Austin. The EV maker unveiled its robotaxi service on Sunday, giving small group of users in Austin access to the driverless rides for a flat $4.20 fee. Shares were more than 2% higher at almost $328 as of 8:55 a.m. ET. In a Monday note, analysts at UBS raised their target price on the stock by $25 to $215 while maintaining a "Sell" rating. "Recall, Elon Musk indicated that autonomy is one of two (along with humanoid robots) main drivers of the stock's long-term value. While Tesla appears to be well positioned, we believe the opportunity is already priced into the stock," they wrote. "We built out our robotaxi model and believe the opportunity is worth ~$99/share, which when considering other parts of TSLA's business, still leaves us cautious on TSLA's overall valuation." Musk teased the launch of the robotaxi earlier this month, showcasing a driverless Tesla Model Y emblazoned with the Cybertruck-style branding. "Beautifully simple design," he posted on X. The rollout follows years of Musk promising multiple times that the robotaxi was just around the corner. Meanwhile, competitors such as Alphabet's Waymo have already demonstrated their autonomous taxis in multiple cities. Lawmakers in Texas have been seeking tighter regulation of robotaxis, while some technical hurdles remain unresolved. Tesla stock has struggled this year, shedding almost 15% as of Friday's close, amid declining vehicle sales.
