If you're interested in local history, here's a date for your diary. On Wednesday 21st October, the South Gloucestershire Mines Research Group is hosting a talk by Anne Lovejoy of the Know Your Place Project team. It is 7.30pm for an 8pm start and will be held in the Miners (Coalpit Heath Village Hall). The cost for non-members is £2.
Know your place is a web-based local history project allowing the comparison of new and historic maps of the area on-line. Photos can be attached and anyone can add their own. The talk will explain how the project works and how volunteers can extend the information available.

Paths to close for crossing works
The bridle way between Broad Lane and Dodmore Crossing in Westerleigh and the path that links in to this from Westerleigh Road, between The Bungalow and The Old Stores, will be temporarily closed so that level crossing works can be carried out. The closure order will be in place for 6 months from the 21st September 2015 but it's anticipated the works will take seven weeks during that time. The alternative route is to go down Broad Lane to Westerleigh Road and then along Westerleigh Road up to Dodmore Crossing.

Site visit changes - no Boundary Road, now visiting Mafeking Hall
Last week we reported that the DC (East) planning committee would be visiting 20 Boundary Road and Beech Hill Farm tomorrow, Friday 28th August.
The visit to 20 Boundary Road has now been postponed until the next round of site visits on 25th September, with the decision likely to be made at the committee meeting on 8th October. Instead the committee will be visiting Mafeking Hall, to look at the Prior Notification Application for a change of use to allow Coalpit Heath Pre-School to open there.

Have your say on minor injuries services
How do you think the NHS locally should deal with minor injuries? NHS South Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is proposing a pilot of community-based minor injury services at local GP practices. They are looking for your views on the proposals.
For further details and to complete the questionnaire, please visit www.southgloucestershireccg.nhs.uk/minorinjuries. The survey will be open until 7pm on Friday 11th September 2015.
There will no doubt be particular concern about how this might affect the Minor Injuries Unit at Yate, especially following the worrying noises from the new Government we reported on in June. The CCG say they have no plans to close the minor injuries unit and they want to make sure it works alongside the new pilot. If you value the Yate MIU, make sure you say so when you fill in the questionnaire.

Survey for disabled taxi users
South Gloucestershire Council wants to hear from taxi users, especially those with a disability, about their experience of the accessibility of "hackney carriages" (ie taxis) locally. You can find out more and have your say here - you have until 7th October to comment.
The council is particularly keen to find out if you feel that all relevant areas are being considered and whether you think there are any specific impacts or alternatives that the council and its partners should consider. Information is also available from your local South Gloucestershire library and One Stop Shop.
