MP dishes it out for Meals on Wheels
To help celebrate national Meals on Wheels Week, Steve Webb MP visited King Edmund School and helped to dish up the dinners.
Meals on wheels is 60 years old and here in South Gloucestershire the service is changing to a new and innovative scheme where school kitchens are used to provide fresher and more nutritional meals to older and disabled people.
Six schools are already signed up to the new look service, St Chad's Patchway Primary School, Bradley Stoke Community School, Hanham High School, Kingsfield Secondary School, King Edmund Community School and Mangotsfield Secondary School.
By the end of the year the scheme is expected to roll out to the rest of the district. The benefit to clients is that they will be eating the same fresh and organic produce used by the school meals service, and, they have a direct link with the local school, bringing communities closer together.
When they let the new assistant chef out of the kitchen, Steve helped to deliver meals to the local area.

New Yate Health Facility
The formal planning application for the new Yate Health Facility has been submitted to South Glos Council. You can view the plans using the Search planning applications service on the Council's website. The reference number is PK07/2712/F.
In the meantime, if you need emergency treatment of minor cuts, bruises, burns, sprains and similar between 8am and 6.30pm you can use the Yate Minor Injury Service. This is up and running at the Courtside, Kennedy Way and West Walk surgeries and is nurse-led with doctor support.

Radio mast update
Last Friday Claire Young met representatives of National Grid Wireless at both the existing site near the ring road and the proposed new site.
Although the proposed masts would be of a different design (a lattice rather than a solid tube with struts sticking out each side for climbing), it did make it easier to visualise the layout at ground level. Each mast would have a tuning shed at the base and there would be fences round these and round each of the points where the stays for the masts reach the ground. The rest of the field could continue to be used for grazing (there were cows at the existing site when Claire visited).
A larger separate building would be required for equipment (roughly the size of a typical block of public toilets). This needs to be secure but it should be possible to disguise it to make it look more like an agricultural building. It would probably be sited at the edge of the field beside Frampton End Road.
This Friday they confirmed that they are still working towards a formal planning application for the Tubb's Bottom site.
