Written by Chris (editor) on Thursday September 20th, 2007 at 10:10 pm

A dental surgery could is being planned for Bradley Stoke and it looks likely the new town centre could be the preferred location.

Penny Harris, the chief executive of South Gloucestershire Primary Care Trust, told the BBC: “We’re in discussions with a number of bodies including Tesco themselves.

“We hope to be able to make an announcement shortly.”

Ms Harris added the dentist could be inside the supermarket: “That is an option. If we can get the dentist in this development [the town centre] we will.”

Rabbit Roundabout saved!

Rabbit Roundabout has been saved!

The Evening Post reports that the area was under threat as part of a plan to revamp the town’s roundabouts as part of the 20th anniversary.

But the junction, first coined Rabbit Roundabout by this publication more than a year ago, will not be touched.

The rabbits have been living on the junction of Winterbourne Road and Bradley Stoke Way for several years.

Residents, many of whom leave carrots and other food for the animals, had started a petition against the plans.

Could health centre plans be resurrected?

Written by Chris (editor) on Saturday September 15th, 2007 at 9:43 am

Plans for a healthcare centre in Bradley Stoke, which were dropped last year, could be back on the agenda.

South Gloucestershire Council is to lobby the primary care trust in an attempt to improve facilities here in BS32.

Already the PCT is planning on a community hospital for nearby Yate along with facilities in Thornbury.

Councillors Rob Jones and John Ashe told the Evening Post: “We have nearly 25,000 residents in our town and it is clear the need for local healthcare is increasingly too much for our existing facilities to meet.

“There is particularly a chronic need for dentistry provision in the town - on the health service’s own figures 4,500 local people have been unable to register with an NHS dentist.”

Penny Harris, chief executive of the PCT, said: “The development of health care in Bradley Stoke is a priority for this PCT but it is important that we do so in a way that enables the greatest access to care and responds directly to the views of residents shared with us during consultation.”

Gardening work ‘was not completed’

Written by Chris (editor) on Wednesday September 12th, 2007 at 11:09 am

Police have launched an investigation after a woman from Bradley Stoke was promised landscaping in a back garden for £4,000 - but never completed the work.

The Evening Post reports that Jill Mann, 61, paid the cash but was left with “rubble” where her garden once was.

The builders were apparently paid in three installments, put up a wall and fence, but never finish the gardening.

Tools left behind by the builders, including a cement mixer, have now been seized by police who are carrying out an inquiry.

Full story from the Evening Post here.
