Covid Weekly Testing Unit Hawkesbury Village Hall Twice Weekly Covid-19 Testing Kits Will Be Available Through Mobile Facility in Communities Across South Gloucestershire We are introducing a mobile option that will take rapid (lateral flow) asymptomatic testing kits to communities across South Gloucestershire, as part of our support for all residents over the age of 16 without symptoms, who are now being encouraged to take twice weekly tests. A specially equipped vehicle will visit up to 14 locations across the district each week, giving people the option of collecting testing kits to complete at home, as well as the opportunity to take a test with guidance from trained staff if you are unfamiliar with the process. This programme will begin on Saturday 15 May, with visits to Kingswood and Thornbury High Streets. Testing is a central pillar, alongside the continued roll-out of the vaccine, and effective local contact tracing including supporting those who need to self-isolate, that will mean we can live safely with Covid-19 over the coming months. Together these steps, combined with individuals following the guidance on social distancing, hand hygiene, face coverings and fresh air, will help us along the road map out of restrictions and enable us to live safely with the coronavirus into the future. The Government is encouraging all residents over the age of 16, who do not have Covid-19 symptoms, to make regular, twice weekly testing, using rapid home test kits, part of their routine as we enjoy the increased opportunities to get out and mix safely with more people. The mobile offer will visit sites across the district regularly, including rural areas such as Hawkesbury, Marshfield, Severn Beach and Pucklechurch, as well as communities in Thornbury, Charfield, Cadbury Heath, Emersons Green and Patchway. It will go to: Mondays at Cadbury Heath Community Centre (5 School Rd, Barrs Court, Warmley, Bristol BS30 8EN) from 9:00AM – 12:00PM. Tuesdays in Emersons Green (Bottegino’s, Emerson Way, Emersons Green, Bristol BS16 7AE) from 9:00AM – 12:00PM and Hawkesbury Village Hall (High St, Hawkesbury Upton GL9 1AU) from 2:00PM – 5:00PM. Wednesdays in Staple Hill (Fountain Square Band Stand, Broad St, Staple Hill, Bristol BS16 5LN) from 9:00AM – 12:00PM and Marshfield Community Centre (Hayfield, Marshfield, Chippenham SN14 8NZ) from 2:00PM – 5:00PM. Thursdays in Longwell Green (ASDA, Cravens Way, Barrs Court, Longwell Green BS30 7DY) from 9:00AM – 12:00PM and Charfield Community Centre (Wotton Rd, Charfield, Wotton-under-Edge GL12 8TG) from 2:00PM – 5:00PM. Fridays in Stoke Gifford (Sainsbury’s, Fox Den Road, Stoke Gifford BS34 8SS) from 9:00AM – 12:00PM and Severn Beach Village Hall (Ableton Ln, Severn Beach, Bristol BS35 4QE) from 2:00PM – 5:00PM. Saturdays in Thornbury High Street (17 High St, Thornbury, Bristol BS35 2AE) from 9:00AM – 12:00PM and Kingswood High Street (open space near Iceland Foods, 41-43 Regent St, Kingswood, Bristol BS15 8LA) from 2:00PM – 5:00PM. Sundays at Patchway Community Centre (Rodway Rd, Patchway, Bristol BS34 5PF) from 9:00AM – 12:00PM and Pucklechurch Community Centre (Abson Rd, Pucklechurch, Bristol BS16 9RH) 2:00PM – 5:00PM. Taking the test is simple, with results in 30 minutes. After taking the test, you are then required to register the result via the NHS website or by calling 119. A short video shows you how to take the test: How to use a Covid-19 home test kit - YouTube. By making testing part of your routine, twice a-week, you will help to identify cases of Covid- 19 which may otherwise not be caught before people unwittingly spread the virus, which is still present in our communities. South Gloucestershire Council’s Director of Public Health, Sara Blackmore, said: “Testing is a really important tool that is helping us to manage Covid-19. Every case we can identify helps us stop the spread and bring the virus further under control. That is why we are so keen to make testing available to everyone; by taking the tests to our communities so that they can take part in the programme and do their part to keep themselves and those around them as safe as possible. “There are three central pillars to the work we will all need to do over the coming months so that we can live safely with Covid into the future. In addition to taking up regular testing, we are of course encouraging everyone who is offered the vaccine to take it as it is the most effective way to stop infection and transmission of the virus. Our local contact tracing service is also proving very effective in reaching out to those who do test positive to make sure they know how to self-isolate and have access to any support, including the Self-Isolation Payment, that they need to keep our community safe. “Everyone who can, should make regular rapid covid testing part of their new routine. We cannot be complacent because we know that the virus is still in our communities and people are still getting sick. We can, however, help to reduce this and we can, by getting vaccinated, testing and isolating if required to, learn to live safely with Covid.” South Gloucestershire Cabinet Member for Adults and Housing, Cllr Ben Stokes, said: “I am very pleased that we are now able to make testing available in more local communities so that everyone has the opportunity to make easy, rapid testing part of their routine. “The vaccine is making a huge difference, as are people self-isolating when they need to. But testing is something we all need to do regularly to really help keep the virus in check. “It is easier than ever to get test kits to do at home and I am particularly pleased that using our mobile model, we are able to make sure that no one misses out.” .

  • Free Swimming Pilot for Pregnant Women Launched
    PRESS RELEASE January 2020 Free swimming pilot for pregnant women launched From 1 February, pregnant women living in South Gloucestershire will be able access free swimming as part of a year‐long pilot scheme from the region’s Active Lifestyle Centres. The scheme is being run as a joint partnership between Circadian Trust, the not‐for‐profit organisation operating the Active Lifestyle Centres, and South Gloucestershire Council. The pilot will run for a year, which will be monitored and reviewed, and the findings used to inform any future decision. Swimming is a highly beneficial way to stay active during pregnancy and can be performed safely in all three trimesters. Widely recognised as a low‐impact method of aerobic exercise, swimming provides a more comfortable environment for expectant mothers to maintain their physical health – as the water both keeps them cool and supports the additional weight. In addition, researchers are now discovering that regular aerobic exercise during pregnancy has the potential to improve the mental and physical health of children well into adulthood. To be eligible for the scheme, women will need to present their Maternity Exemption Certificate, supplied by their doctor or midwife, and will also need to show proof of address before their first session. Mark Crutchley, Chief Executive at Circadian Trust, said: “As an organisation with health and wellbeing at its core, we’re committed to making exercise accessible to all. Therefore, it’s an absolute pleasure to be helping women to swim throughout their pregnancies for free. “There are a vast number of benefits to exercising during pregnancy, from maintaining a healthy weight to reducing health‐related complications for the mother and baby – and these benefits can have long‐term effect on a child’s development beyond birth.

  • South Gloucestershire Council Conservative Group
    COUNCIL SIZE SUBMISSION South Gloucestershire South Gloucestershire Council Conservative Group. February 2017 Overview of South Gloucestershire 1. South Gloucestershire is an affluent unitary authority on the North and East fringe of Bristol. South Gloucestershire Council (SGC) was formed in 1996 following the dissolution of Avon County Council and the merger of Northavon District and Kingswood Borough Councils. 2. South Gloucestershire has around 274,700 residents, 62% of which live in the immediate urban fringes of Bristol in areas including Kingswood, Filton, Staple Hill, Downend, Warmley and Bradley Stoke. 18% live in the market towns of Thornbury, Yate, and Chipping Sodbury. The remaining 20% live in rural Gloucestershire villages such as Marshfield, Pucklechurch, Hawkesbury Upton, Oldbury‐ on‐Severn, Alveston, and Charfield. 3. South Gloucestershire has lower than average unemployment (3.3% against an England average of 4.8% as of 2016), earns above average wages (average weekly full time wage of £574.20 against England average of £544.70), and has above average house prices (£235,000 against England average of £218,000)1. Deprivation 4. Despite high employment and economic outputs, there are pockets of deprivation in South Gloucestershire. Some communities suffer from low income, unemployment, social isolation, poor housing, low educational achievement, degraded environment, access to health services, or higher levels of crime than other neighbourhoods. These forms of deprivation are often linked and the relationship between them is so strong that we have identified 5 Priority Neighbourhoods which are categorised by the national Indices of Deprivation as amongst the 20% most deprived neighbourhoods in England and Wales. These are Cadbury Heath, Kingswood, Patchway, Staple Hill, and west and south Yate/Dodington.
