4 Brislington Do you recognise this woman? Police have release an E-fit of a woman they want to identify following an assault on Wick Road at about 8pm on Wednesday 27th June. A man was pricked in the leg with a sharp object by a woman. If you recognise the woman in the E-fit please call 101 and provide the call handler with the reference Flood works update Roadworks to improve drainage in Cherry Gardens and Bath Road are progressing on schedule. As predicted, the first month has been completed without disrupting traffic flows but the next stage is likely to involve temporary lights or manned stop and go systems. It may also be necessary to have temporary road closures in the second half of the month. Work on the Abson Road has now moved closer to Pucklechurch with a 150 metres of new pipe installed around Cleeve Lane. Work is on schedule with three of the five different sections all but complete. The next stage will involve work on either side of the junction with Lodge Road.

5 Disney plans for Saltford farm are withdrawn Controversial plans to build a mini 18-hole golf course featuring fourmetre high dinosaurs in Saltford have been withdrawn. Applicants Adventure Experience, which run similar facilities elsewhere in the south of England, submitted plans earlier this year to Bath & North East Somerset Council to build the family leisure facility at Glenavon Farm on the A4 Bath Road. The proposals included parking for more than 80 cars, a golf course, water features, three large model dinosaurs, a kiosk, plus extensive soft landscape works with numerous palm trees. The council s highway officers had voiced significant concerns relating to the proximity of the proposed golf facility and animatronics to the A4 which could distract drivers; they were also concerned about the risk of golf balls being hit onto the main road. Meanwhile the council s landscape environment team s report said the exotic planting, theme park dinosaurs, water features, leisure activity usage and extensive car parking provision would be wholly out of keeping with the predominantly rural, agricultural and seminatural character of the surrounding landscape: It would tend to result in the Disneyfication of this important gateway into the settlement of Keynsham and would be likely to have significant adverse landscape and visual impacts. It would therefore be unlikely to either conserve or enhance local landscape character, landscape features, local distinctiveness and important views. Saltford Parish Council had objected to the inappropriate use of Green Belt land and agricultural land and was concerned that some works appeared to have already started on site, including the removal of trees and bushes along the Bath Road. Road safety was another concern, as well as the effect of noise and lighting on neighbouring properties. Parish councillors also felt it would corrupt the rural setting of Saltford s Conservation Area. Saltford Environment Group voiced similar concerns, saying the appearance of large plastic/fibreglass dinosaurs up to four metres high would be completely absurd in the same landscape vista as two of Saltford's most important ancient buildings - the Norman church with its Anglo-Saxon tower, and Saltford Manor House which was built circa 1148, and is reputed to be England's longest continuously inhabited manor house.

7 Partial replacement for 51 bus service First is launching a new service next month to replace the No 51 bus but it will not operate in the evenings or at weekends. As we reported in Issue 535, the 51 which links South Bristol Hospital at Hengrove to the Broadmead was not included in the list of services which will transfer to Stagecoach at the end of the month when Wessex Bus ceases its operations in the area. Ironically, Wessex only stepped in to operate the route following pressure from local residents after First dropped it in Critically, the elements of the service which received local authority support have not been transferred so First will be operating the weekday, daytime only service (No 2A) entirely on a commercial basis. Residents call for footpath to be reopened Residents in Wick are calling for action to get a footpath which has been closed for more than two years to be reopened The footpath (LWA 43) runs from the A420 main road and skirts the Clip factory. It continues over a metal bridge over the River Boyd. Residents say South Gloucestershire Council issued a temporary prohibition order on 17th February 2016, due to fears for the condition of the footbridge foundation and damage to the northern river bank abutment. They say the situation now appears to be that the bridge is solid, but the riverbank has collapsed into the river, taking with it the footings from one side of the bridge. Locals say there has been a great deal of delay for various reasons but understand that the council is in a position to carry out the necessary repairs, but has not been able to obtain permission from the two landowners involved to access the site. One resident told us: Unfortunately if the work is not started soon, water levels and the requirement to protect wildlife at certain times of the year could cause further delay. Last week residents met local councillor Steve Reade, pictured, to discuss the matter. This week a spokesperson for South Gloucestershire Council told us: We are currently in discussions with the landowner to get permission to access the site and make the necessary repairs to the bridge. We will schedule the work as soon as soon as permission has been granted by the landowner. Keep in touch, let us know what you think, send us your news The Week in Wednesday 8th August

10 LETTERS Support for white van man Dear Sir It s not often that I find myself on the side of white van man but Letters 1st August does have me siding with him for the following reasons: 1. Despite her comments, lots of people do currently manage to cycle on the pavement/cycle path safely, so the nettles and brambles (which admittedly have been a real problem in the past) can t be that bad. 2. I assume that on her return journey she somehow manages to safely negotiate the busy four-way junction which she cites as another reason for not using the cycle path. 3. But what really got to me, for arrogance and hypocrisy, is that apparently she doesn t wish to be held up by slower moving traffic in this case pedestrians on the pavement/cycle path, and yet feels that it is OK to do exactly that to other road users. Mrs K F Collin Safety comes first for cyclists Dear Sir In response to the letter in last week s issue A message for the white van man. First, the white van man was not a buffoon as you describe. He was perfectly correct in informing you that indeed the path is meant for cyclists so they don t get in conflict with the traffic on the road. That is why the council spent vast sums on signage. It is a shared path for both cyclists and pedestrians so if you come across a pedestrian slow down, ring your bell and politely pass. Speed is not a target, safety is. The road between Keynsham and Willsbridge is used by both buses and lorries so the safest place for cyclists is on the shared path. From your letter your problem should be addressed to the council to maintain the shared path and the crossing that causes you such a problem. The safest place for you is on the shared path acting responsibly. Yes, you can cycle on the road if you wish but common sense says it is safer for everyone to use the cycle path provided - presumably that is why it s there. Nick Gould, Oldland Common Indignant or inconsiderate? Dear Sir In response to the indignant cyclist in last week s Letters. Although not the correct thing to do, I can quite understand why the white van man called out to you. The cycle path that you seem to think is like the jungles of Borneo, needing to be hacked through with a machete if your description is anything to go by, is in fact perfectly clear enough for the majority of cyclists to use with no problem at all. People like you who choose to ignore the path which was put there for your safety and convenience, and use the road instead, cause considerable tailbacks and frustration to drivers who have to slow down whilst you pootle along at marginally faster than walking pace. It also causes delays to buses who can't safely pass you due to the bends and oncoming traffic. The cycle path is easily wide enough for pedestrians and cyclists in most places, with only small sections being narrower- so I suggest you use your bell to alert pedestrians of your approach and slow down if necessary for safety. I have never seen any accidents, even concerning people wearing headphones. Also, I don't think you need to be a stuntwoman to get across the road when the cycle path ends - just put one foot in front of the other like the rest of us do and walk across the road, use the traffic lights and there is no need to "dice with death". Perhaps you are so noble riding along with your nose in the air, looking down it at the rest of us, that you don't notice how inconsiderate you are? Another lady working in finance! Name and address supplied The lady doth protest too much Dear Sir Further to your 'indignant cyclist' correspondent in Issue 536, I feel the lady doth protest too much. It surely would be far preferable for a cyclist to use a cycle track rather than a very busy fast road with lorries and buses going past constantly? The danger of being hit plus the nuisance to other 'disgruntled' drivers is considerable. I used the track from the Willsbridge roundabout to Keynsham on Thursday and had no problems at all. There was a low hanging tree which I had to duck under and one spot where nettles were growing out unfortunately but really nothing very difficult. The only pedestrians I encountered were a man and a lady walking up from the bridge over the river, so I stopped until they had passed and we exchanged pleasantries. Derek Brewer Willsbridge Why is my card marked? Dear Stephen I boarded a First bus this morning en-route to Bath. My recently renewed bus pass buzzed loudly and wouldn t take. The driver smiled and said You are hot-listed and proceeded to manually write my details on a list. On my return journey on the Air Decker airport bus the same thing happened. I would like to know why, and how the bus companies are in receipt of my details. Is Big Brother watching me? Best wishes, Maureen P, Keynsham We contacted James Freeman of First and Martin Curtis from the Bath Bus Company. They both told us that the card readers only log the journey and only the local councils hold details of the card holder. The buzzing indicates a problem with the card validation and they suggest you report this to the issuing council. Ed 10 The Week in Wednesday 8th August 2018

11 LETTERS Diamond anniversary thanks Dear Sir We would like to thank everyone who sent cards and called in to see us on our Diamond Wedding anniversary. We had a lovely day and a lovely lunch at Bitton Railway. Many thanks to you all. Valerie and Geoff Wall Pavement parking not enforced Dear Sir Ref: Could we soon see a pavement parking ban? (Week in issue 536). Powers are already available to South Gloucester Council to enforce this, it is already happening in North Somerset and Scotland is consulting on it now. Pavement parking in the Oldland Common area is rife, dangerous and most of the time, unnecessary - we don t have narrow country lanes. If you can t park outside your house, park up the road and walk. The local councillor knows about pavement parking along with the Crime Commissioner, MP and Avon and Somerset police but nothing has been done about it. The police say they do not have the resources if that s the case, then we have a police force not fit for purpose. It s about time those responsible dealt with the dangerous problem of vehicles parked on pavements, vehicles parked on pavements adjacent to each other and blocking the road to anything larger than a car and dangerous parking on junctions - this is quite clear in the Highway Code. It is an obstruction if the path is blocked. Good luck if you need an ambulance or fire appliance overnight they will not get through. Our local councillor (you know who you are) says he will not support a blanket ban. It is about time the police and council dealt with this. PCSOs in North Somerset go out on bikes and actually ticket offenders the PCSOs in this area are busy patrolling the cycle track or making a speech at some school. If you report blocked paths to the police, you might be lucky to get a 6-hour response, if at all that s after the switchboard (up to 30 minutes to answer) have tried to fob you off with it s the council s responsibility. If you report by you get an 8-page form full of irrelevant questions to report a blocked pavement. Those responsible have utterly failed to deal with the problem and should be hanging their heads in shame, along with the vehicle owners who are daft or selfish enough to ruin their own neighbourhoods. As far as encouraging people to walk more, forget it in Oldland Common it s not safe in our so called safer, stronger neighbourhood. Council tax payer, Oldland Common. Brass bands in short supply Dear Editor On Remembrance Day this year there is already a demand for local bands to support their local community remembrance services. I am writing to bring to the attention of your readers the issue that there are not nearly enough bands available that can cover all these services with the majority commencing from 11.00am on Remembrance Sunday. This is partly due to a drop in interest and support of the existing brass bands that are around and most like ourselves who are struggling to find players. I am a member of Crofts End Silver Band, based in Hanham; we are a small, friendly brass band and meet every Friday evening at the United Reform Church on Tabernacle Road. We, like our fellow brass bands, are struggling to find players and we are really keen to welcome anyone who may not have played for several years to come and join us. I personally had an 18-year break from playing. However, l was rejuvenated when l was approached and asked to come along to a practice and it s not quite two years now that l have been a member of Crofts End Silver Band. Although it was a big gap coming back to the brass band world this new lease has given me much passion and enjoyment to play again and l have gained new friends. I just wish now that l hadn t left it so long! I say all this because l am hoping that there are players like myself for whatever reason, whether family, work or illness who haven t played for a while and perhaps would be interested if given the opportunity to take up an instrument again. As a band under new management we are more than happy to support our local community. Our most recent engagement was at the Hanham High Street Summer Fair. It was an exciting occasion and well supported by the local community. We drew in a good audience whilst we performed and had a lot of interest. But when we perform we are asked if we will come back again and this year we find ourselves facing a difficult dilemma as we have been approached to support several Remembrance Day Services for this the 100th year since the end of World War One. So the demand is there for brass bands just sadly not the musicians. I wish l knew why, l don t think that cutting the performing arts education in schools such as music has helped. We do have instruments to loan so come and try us. Listen to Brassed Off' on YouTube and feel the buzz although we are not quite at that standard yet! So support your local band and save our brass bands from dying out. Anyone interested in giving us a try please contact either Denise or myself Claire Claire Drummond Lions scarecrow Dear Editor I read with utter dismay that feral morons have destroyed the delightful scarecrow created by Keynsham and District Lions Club and it's further evidence that much of youth in Britain is now totally out of control. Parents must foot much of the blame for the malevolent behaviour of their offspring but also the virtually total lack of police officers on the beat add to these problems. This is clearly a country run by idiots and limp-wristed twits and the sooner we bring back National Service, tougher prison sentences and other measures, the better. Regards, Bryan Chalker, Bath.

12 B&NES Air quality improves across the area Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels fell last year at key monitoring sites in the district according the B&NES Council s Air Quality Annual Status Report which has just been published. Almost all locations returned reduced levels and many fell below the critical level of 40 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3). This includes Saltford, which was declared an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) in Last year, NO2 levels on the A4 outside The Crown fell to 37µg/m3. Keynsham High Street, which was declared an AQMA as long ago as 2010, saw a significant drop overall with only one monitoring station recording 40µg/m3 and this was down 15% on the previous year. Additional monitoring stations were installed in 2016 in order to measure the impact before and after the introduction of the one-way trial in May All recorded lower levels of NO2 with the exception of Rock Road which saw a rise due to the new traffic flow. Whitchurch and Pensford will continue to be monitored although will not be declared Air Quality Monitoring Areas. Although the diffusion tube outside Whitchurch School measured 39µg/m3, this was a significant drop on the two previous years. While in Keynsham, the one-way trial was heralded as a significant contributor to the drop in NO2 levels, other initiatives have also had an impact. B&NES was part of a successful consortium bid for funding from the bus technology fund which enabled the retro-fitting of 29 First buses operating out of Bath. The X39 and 17a services which run through Saltford and Keynsham were significant beneficiaries. Although welcoming the latest report, B&NES Council leader Tim Warren was not complacent. He said: While it is welcome news that there is a decrease in the levels of nitrogen dioxide in across the district more work is needed to reduce these levels even further because poor air quality is a serious public health risk to us all. We are working towards a cleaner Bath but this means everyone using more sustainable ways to travel. Last month, a study funded by the British Lung Foundation following research in Dundee demonstrated a clear link between poor air quality and health problems dealt with by local GPs and hospital admissions. The Govern-ment has had three high court rulings against it for exceeding nitrogen dioxide levels and currently faces action from the European Union. Crossword ACROSS 1. Midwest US state (9) 6.

14 Debut novel set not so far in the future St George-based author Heather Child had her first novel published earlier this year by Orbit Books. Everything About You is a story set in the near future but, as Heather explains, the rapid advance in technology since the time she began writing it, means it is not far ahead as she originally intended. When I started out, intelligent assistants like Alexa weren t commonly in our homes, listening to everything we say, and companies like Cambridge Analytica didn t have so much data that they could target people s inner demons. It s becoming very clear that, in the future, the big technology companies will know us better than we do ourselves. Everything About You is Heather Child about a young woman called Freya who gets a virtual assistant like an Alexa or Siri in the future, but finds it has the personality of her foster sister, who went missing years ago. Although this is deeply disturbing, she is compelled to stick with it because the technology might just be smart enough to help get her family back. Having previously had a number of short stories published, Heather is now well on her way to completing a second novel which will be published in Everything About You is available at Waterstones, Amazon and other bookshops and more information is available at uk/everything 14 The Week in Wednesday 8th August 2018

15 Keynsham Elaine goes to great lengths to raise money for charities A Keynsham woman has had her long hair cut for a charity that makes wigs free of charge for children and young adults who have lost their own hair due to cancer treatment and other illnesses. Elaine Stirling also went for the chop to raise both awareness and funds for research into amyloidosis - a rare disease that has claimed the lives of both her mum and another family member. Elaine, of Dunster Road, said: I had my hair cut by my friend Lisa Hopes so I could donate it to the Little Princess Trust. My mum Gillian Stirling passed away in August 2017 from renal failure caused by amyloidosis. The treatment for it is chemotherapy. Fortunately for my mum she had really thick hair to start with but it thinned terribly over the years with her chemo treatment. I could see how it affected her confidence. Amyloidosis is considered a rare blood disease but it doesn t seem rare to me as I have lost two members of my family to the disease in the last year. "Both had a long delay in diagnosis, allowing the amyloids to go unchecked during that time and damage their organs, finally leading to organ failure. I have been growing my hair for the last three years for three reasons. Firstly so I could donate my hair to the fantastic charity that make wigs free of charge to children and young people who have sadly lost their own hair due to cancer treatment and other illnesses. Secondly to raise awareness about amyloidosis - next time you see your GP or dentist ask them if they know about amyloidosis; and finally to help raise funds for the National Amyloidosis Centre in London. The NAC is the only specialist amyloidosis centre in the country treating 4,000 patients a year. Please help them make further progress developing effective treatments for this disease. Without their help I would have lost Mum years earlier and she would not have spent time with her four grandchildren. Elaine has beaten her target of 500 and has so far raised 555 for the centre.

16 Bequest boosts Dyrham Park garden plans Dyrham Park s formal gardens have received a cash boost thanks to a generous bequest from a botanist and keen gardener. Stuart Young, from Wrington, instructed that half of his estate was to be left to six conservation and homeless charities, including 40,000 for the National Trust. His family requested the money come direct to Dyrham Park, having been inspired by and interested in the plans to develop the gardens with influences from the formal style of the 17th century. Mr Young and his sister Jo visited the gardens when he was alive and took a keen interest in the development plans. The money will mainly support the development of the Avenue including steel edging and hedge planting as well as being used to attract some match funding for the next phase of the garden development. Mr Young s sister Jo Morton said: When we last visited Dyrham we heard about another bequest which had helped fund some iron frames for cider apple trees to be trained along and love Dyrham s vision for the whole garden. To us, his family, it would be entirely appropriate that his lasting legacy should be in a place he enjoyed and relevant to his profession. Members of Stuart Young s family with park manager Dale Dennehy (c) National Trust-Sara Strawson Kingswood Domestic abuse victim praised after conviction A 40-year-old man was sentenced to more than two years in prison this week after subjecting his partner to a violent and sustained attack at their home in Kingswood in June. Peter Michael Evans appeared before Bristol Crown Court where he was convicted of causing actual bodily harm, having admitted the offence at an earlier hearing. DC Tim Mullins, who investigated the incident, said: This prosecution was only made possible by the bravery of the victim to stand up to a violent man, who had subjected her to a terrifying attack which left her hospitalised with a suspected dislocated shoulder and multiple bruising. Credit must also go to several neighbours who intervened at the time of the assault, and from the outset assisted us with the investigation.

17 Whitchurch Young cob rescued from neglect is ready to find a home In November 2013, horse rescue charity Horse World agreed to take in two young cobs named Bert and Ernie. They had been rescued as part of a group of ponies who were in very poor condition. Both ponies were underweight and unhandled. Their feet were overgrown and infested with maggots. After a few months of remedial hoof trimming, veterinary care and training for basic handling both horses made full recoveries. Bert found a loving loan home on HorseWorld s rehoming scheme soon after. Ernie attended the Bath and West Show in 2015 on HorseWorld s stand and it was from here that he was rehomed. Whilst at his new home, Ernie began his showing career and attended many different competitions with his horse-guardian. Unfortunately, Ernie had to return to HorseWorld through no fault of his own said Jodi Thomas, training manager at HorseWorld in Whitchurch. He is now looking for a new loan home. He is a stunning pony who loves to be pampered and would make a great addition to any family. Ernie is a very sweet boy who is easy to care for. He has been ridden by a young child on the lead rein and has been taken out in hand on the roads without a rider. However, he is still new to ridden work so will need a small, competent rider to continue his education. Alternatively, Ernie may also do very well in harness, for people with appropriate experience to bring on a young driving pony. Anyone interested in rehoming a rescued horse can find out more at ome You can enjoy a behind the scenes look at the work the charity does this Saturday when HorseWorld is holding another of its popular open days. There are talks, demonstrations, tractor safaris and a chance to meet many of the animals at the HorseWorld HQ in Staunton Lane, Whitchurch (10.30am-6pm). Parking and entrance is free but donations are welcome. The Week in Wednesday 8th August

18 Saltford Primary School wins sunflower competition Four years ago Keynsham Rotary Club launched a flower/plant growing competition for local infant and junior schools to run alongside its annual Spring Plant Fair. The original idea came from a former Rotary club member, Roland Reed, who felt strongly that youngsters should have the pleasure and gain an interest in plants and gardening. His legacy has flourished in that this year all primary schools in Keynsham and Saltford took part in the sunflower growing competition. Club members went to each school on 17th July to measure the results and for a second occasion, Saltford Primary School won with a sunflower of more than 2 metres in height. The school received the Roland Reed Cup and a certificate. Our picture shows a group of very pleased pupils receiving the award from Rotary president Roger Spooner, accompanied by Rotarian Lynne Pike who organised the event. The club thanks everyone who took part. Staff at Sainsbury s in Emersons Green have handed over a cheque for just over 10,000 to Meningitis Now, the store s adopted charity for the last year. Customers vote for a partner charity each year and money is raised through charity events and collections in the store. Last year s choice of Meningitis Now was particularly poignant through the association with St Brendan s student Izzy Gentry who died from Meningitis B in Staff organised book sales and plant sales in the store as well as bucket collections at the check-outs.

19 Kingswood Kelly marks milestone birthday with Ironman challenge Kelly Davies didn t opt for a regular 40th birthday celebration: instead she challenged herself to complete her first ever Ironman - a swimming, cycling and running challenge lasting over 130 miles and she managed to raise over 1,000 for charity in the process. Despite being able to barely swim a length of the pool when she started, Kelly completed the Ironman Austria challenge last month, finishing a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride and a 26-mile run in just over 13 hours. She also smashed her charity goal for Lagan s Foundation, which provides home respite and support services across the UK for young children with complex needs, specialising in heart defects or feeding issues. Kelly had always been a keen runner but was a very poor swimmer and didn t have a road bike. She signed up for swimming instructor Kate Sheppard s lessons at Kingswood Active Lifestyle Centre and within a few months was swimming 400m non-stop and entering her first practice triathlon. The inspiration for the challenge came from her husband, who took part in Ironman UK in When I say couldn t swim, I mean I could only do a bit of breast stroke to stop myself from drowning and that was it, said Kelly. I am now comfortably swimming between 2,000-3,000 metres at every swim session and have most definitely mastered the art of riding a road bike. Not only did I complete the challenge for my love of triathlons but to support Lagan s Foundation, through which I supported a child living in Fishponds, so it s really special to me. Kingswood Active Lifestyle Centre manager Martyn Hinam, said: As Active Lifestyle Centres, we re dedicated to helping our customers and staff lead Kelly Davies active, happy and healthy lives. We re just pleased that we played a small part in helping Kelly realise her ambition and meet her charity goal. It s a very impressive achievement. The Week in Wednesday 8th August

22 Fishponds Chinese flavour to launch of cookery classes Brunelcare s Colliers Gardens extra care housing scheme, in Fishponds, launched its special Bristol Meets the World food and nutrition project last week. It is being run by Bristol and Avon Chinese Women s group and supported by the Bristol Ageing Better Building Blocks for Wellbeing programme. Bristol and Avon Chinese Women s Group arranged a traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony, performed by Yi Zeng, to launch the series of cookery classes Brunelcare is going to run. Tea ceremonies are a major aspect of the Chinese culture. In daily life, tea is used for medical purposes and also for daily pleasures. During the ceremony different types of tea and their meanings were explained. Residents from Brunelcare s Colliers Gardens and Chinese Elders from nearby Vassell Centre attended the event. The project will take place over the next two years, with each of the partners; Brunelcare, 91 Ways, Carers Support Centre and Hanover running workshops for their clients. There will be a total of 81 monthly sessions provided by the partners during this period; focusing on cooking demonstrations, participation and involvement, and story-telling. The project is intended, through collaborative working, to reduce social isolation and loneliness, improve self-esteem and health and cultural awareness and raise public awareness of diversity in the city. Brunelcare will be inviting residents from Colliers Gardens to join their sessions, as well as other members of the local Fishponds community. Julie Walker, Centre Manager for Brunelcare s Colliers Gardens, said: This enchanting tea ceremony was the perfect launch to our food, nutrition and cookery classes we are going to be running helping people in our local community meet the world through food and to meet new friends. I had no idea until today that having a cup of tea can be so relaxing, allowing time to think about how the tea was made and learning that in Chinese culture it has so much meaning!

23 Business profile NEC link-up for innovative Keynsham firm A pioneering Keynshambased company has recently partnered with global giant NEC to further develop its range of video light box and video systems. The collaboration between Sky Inside UK and NEC Display Solutions was announced last month and follows the successful installation of one of Sky Inside s sky view systems at Liverpool Walton Hospital s Intensive Therapy Unit. The system enables patients to visualise the outside world during therapy. Dynamic images of the sky moving from day to night helps to improve patient sleep patterns which positively reduces the incidence of delirium, a condition which intensive care patients are at high risk of and which can bring about lasting damage. Based on specially configured NEC display technology, ultra-high definition moving images are streamed in a seamless loop to present scenes of nature in glorious detail. Uniquely, NEC displays are highly adaptable and warrantied for operation at any angle including facedown making them perfectly suited to creating ceiling apertures and lantern effect installations. Sky Inside UK Director Allan Sinclair hailed the new partnership, saying: We feel our partnership with NEC results in a powerful synergy. Our mutual dedication to innovation and professional integrity has led to an exciting collaboration which has far-reaching opportunities for the The installation at Liverpool s Walton Hospital future. Hospitals are not the only uses planned for Sky Inside s technology with dentistry another area of health where the dynamic imagery can help reduce stress levels. The company has also recently installed a digital aquarium in a children s hospice effecting a calming mood in the sensory playroom which is greatly appreciated by patients, visitors and staff. Other commercial uses include hotels and meeting spaces where there is restricted natural light and Mr Sinclair is now hoping that collaborative use with NEC s special high protection glass will create opportunities to expand the technology to public areas with high footfall.

25 Keynsham Witness appeal following assault Police are keen to trace a woman who flagged down a PCSO to report witnessing a man assaulting another woman in Keynsham. The incident happened at about 10.15am on Wednesday 18th July near the junction of Lockingwell Road and Charlton Road. The witness said she had seen the assault take place inside a white 4x4-style vehicle. Unfortunately both the witness and the officer were driving in slow moving traffic and the officer was unable to take the witness s details. Soon afterwards the PCSO found a distressed woman. A man was later arrested on suspicion of assault and released on police bail pending further enquiries. Officers investigating the incident are keen to speak to the witness again and urge her to get in touch by calling 101 quoting reference Saltford Tennis club serves up some ace events Saltford Tennis Club had a busy week last month hosting two successful events.

27 More details emerge on rapid transit plans Bristol City Council is applying the finishing touches to its draft transport plan before it goes out to public consultation in the autumn. You can be excused for failing to keep up with the rather confusing collection of public consultations which have and are taking place as well as the number of different acronyms being used. But the Bristol Transport Plan (BTP) will feed into the West of England Joint Local Transport Plan through to 2036, along with similar input from the neighbouring councils of B&NES, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire. While the BTP has grabbed headlines for Mayor Marvin Rees decision to test the viability of a light rail network travelling under rather than through some areas of the city, it also provides more detail on infrastructure projects for south and east Bristol. The future challenges of over 100, 000 new homes in the region over the next two decades and getting more people to and from work affect the whole region but Bristol in particular. With average traffic speeds as low and more work at Two Headed Man junction Improvement work to ease congestion at the Two Headed Man will start after the August bank holiday. A new lane is being put in at Bences Garage Junction, where the A39 connects with the A368, at Marksbury. Bath & North East Somerset Council secured 700,000 towards the cost of the 890,000 scheme from the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) through the Local Growth Fund (LGF), administered by the West of England Combined Authority. The project will build on improvements made last year. Further details of traffic management will be released by B&NES ahead of the works starting. The improvements are scheduled for completion later in the autumn. as 6 mph at times, it is clear that the car will not be the answer, hence some of the bold, out of the box thinking at which some critics have already been happy to scoff at. In practical terms, among the many proposals contained in the transport strategy is the development of corridors providing quick and easy access into Bristol city centre. The most significant of these is from the airport but it is also the proposals for North Fringe (Cribbs Causeway) and East (Emersons Green and the A420) which include light rail solutions going underground along parts of the route. In the direction of Keynsham and Bath, two key infrastructure projects are envisaged. The first is to construct the Callington Road Link, aimed at diverting traffic away from the busy A4 which would then allow road space to be given over to a dedicated Metrobus route. As we have reported previously, the overarching West of England Joint Transport Strategy already includes a proposal to relocate the Brislington Park and Ride to Hicks Gate where it will form part of a major transport interchange. In last week s issue we reported the combined authority had set aside money to prepare a bid for 250m of government funding for this and other infrastructure projects. The Bristol Transport Plan is expected to go out to public consultation in October with work on specific strategies being formulated during Regional Mayor Tim Bowles (l) with B&NE Council leader Tim Warren.

28 Sponsored cycle ride success despite accident David Bailey has just raised more than 5,000 for Kingswood-based Jessie May Trust on a sponsored cycle ride from Land s End to John O Groats even though he spent the last two days in a Scottish hospital undergoing surgery. David, a retired GP living in Bitton, set out from the far west of Cornwall on 27th July with his son Joe and had achieved a gruelling 630 miles after six days when he suffered a freak accident. While stationery on his bike, he fell over breaking his hip. The family immediately gathered around and son-in-law Kevin not only drove David s wife up to Scotland but after dropping her at the hospital, he teamed up with Joe to complete the last 320 miles to John O Groats in two days. David meanwhile underwent surgery for a hip replacement but sent us this picture of the two cyclists on Saturday evening. The father and son duo are no strangers to this type of adventure. Eight years ago they cycled 500km across the Pyrenees in 100 hours. Jessie May provides nursing care at home for children with a terminal illness in the Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset areas. We ll have a more detailed report on their journey in next week s issue but you can still add to the 5000 total by visiting ising/david-bailey46. Funding boost for junior football clubs Money paid to South Gloucestershire Council as Section 106 contributions will allow two local football clubs to improve their facilities. Section S106 contributions are paid by developers for specific purposes as a condition of receiving planning permission for developments in the area. In this case, the money was paid to enhance open spaces following planning permission for the development of the Kingswood Trading Estate. Bristol Rovers Supporters Junior Football Club will receive almost 36,000 to improve the changing rooms and pavilion at Southey Park while Hanham Abbotonians are set to receive a capital boost of 32,000. They will use the funding to make alterations to the footpath around Lees Hill playing field resulting in space for a second football pitch. This in turn will allow the club to support three additional junior teams. Sudoku Solutions 1-Easy 2-Hard Crossword Solution 28 The Week in Wednesday 8th August 2018
