  • Care and Support Providers
    Children, Adults and Health Care and Support Providers CCH44 November 2016 Care and Support Providers If you have been finding it difficult to manage at home, you might be considering arranging for a care and support provider to help you with personal tasks such as washing and dressing, or with help to prepare your meals. There are a number of ways you might want to arrange the help you need: You may wish to buy your support yourself from a provider, in which case this factsheet will help you know where to start. You may wish to be assessed by the council to see if you are eligible for council support. If you are eligible for support, the council may offer you its Promoting Independence Service, for up to 6 weeks, to help you do as much for yourself as possible, so that you can continue to live safely at home. Our Care Act Frequently Asked Questions document gives you more information on how we work out if you are eligible. Our pages on support at home give you details of other services to help you stay well. Further information is available in the document ‘Care and Support to help you stay in your own home: information on charges’ on whether you would have to contribute financially to support you receive from the council. If you are eligible to receive support from the council, the council can arrange support from a care and support provider for you. Alternatively, if you are eligible for support from the council, you may wish to have a direct payment, which means you arrange your own support and you make the choice about which provider to use.

    Cycling South Gloucestershire 10 short leisure routes between 3 and 12 miles 10 Leisure Rides 2 8 4 7 10 5 1 3 6 9 © Crown copyright and route (route shown in relevant colour) database rights 2011 Ordnance Survey Key 100023410 K Cafe Toilets Pub xyA Station Refer to this key for all route maps 2 Introduction These routes are aimed at all levels of cyclists and their families. Cycling offers a great opportunity to discover new places and views in South Gloucestershire.We hope that you enjoy cycling these routes and that it encourages you to get your bike out more often. The routes vary in length and difficulty. A grading system has been used to determine the ability level required to cycle these routes. However this is only a guide. Ability Levels 1 For all users including inexperienced or beginner cyclists. Any hills will be very gentle and any on road cycling will be on quiet roads. 2 For slightly more experienced cyclists or those who may feel a bit more confident. There may be the occasional steep hill (don’t be afraid to get off and push!) and occasional short stretches on busier roads. 3 For the reasonably competent cyclists. The rides will be longer, with some steep hills and with cycling on or alongside busy roads for longer stretches. The distances given do not take into account any return journey unless the route is circular. The times given to cycle a route may vary depending on fitness level and the number of breaks and stops. Advice These routes incorporate off road sections that are shared with pedestrians.

  • Old Sodbury Times
    Old Sodbury Times Issue 85 November 2020 Dates for your Diary: Post Office returns to Chipping Sodbury None due to Covid Restrictions After much campaigning we are pleased to see the presence of a Post Office back in Chipping Sodbury. OK it’s only there on Tuesday afternoon, 13.30 to 15.30hrs in the back of a van, but it’s a start. Eventually it is hoped to be in the back of the old M & Co building when it is converted to a Spar. How ironic it is that when Old Sodbury lost its Post Office we were told ‘there is another only a mile away in Chipping Sodbury’. ————— On behalf of Green Community Travel, Michaela Turner would like to thank everyone who donated their unwanted clothes etc. to the recent Bag2School initiative. A total of £357.00 was raised. ————- Chapel Lane is soon to have a consultation about having a 20mph speed limit in the section between Landcare and the main road. Do please take part in the consultation. South Glos Council have asked the Town Trust, who manage The Ridings recreation area at Chipping Sodbury, about the possibility of putting a Covid Testing Station there Monday to Friday each week. At the October meeting of Sodbury Town Council (held on Zoom) members heard of the proposal to build 16 ‘starter homes’ on the former Transport Yard (former home to Rex Boucher’s repair yard) on the A432 just down from the old post office. Also discussed was a report by Councillor Steve Spooner on traffic speeds along that road.

    Approaching Shire Way and Yate from Westerleigh. Path to pass under left hand side railway arch A Chipping Sodbury, Dodington & Yate Cycling Network A note considering the opportunities arising from the opening of the new path linking Shire Way, in the south west corner of Yate, with the Bristol and Bath Railway path from Emersons Green Revised draft updated after discussions John Grimshaw CBE September 2013 The Wool Hall, 12 St Thomas Street, Bristol BS1 6JJ A CHIPPING SODBURY, DODINGTON & YATE CYCLING NETWORK SEPTEMBER 2013 • PAGE 2 Yate - A Cycling Town – September 2013 A note considering the opportunities arising from the opening of the new path linking Shire Way, in the south west corner of Yate, with the Bristol and Bath Railway path from Emersons Green 1. Background The Bristol and Bath Railway Path was completed from City Centre to City Centre in 1984 and right from its earliest days has generated a large popular usage. This 16 mile long traffic free route demonstrated that the public will cycle if they are given the opportunity of attractive routes free from conflict with traffic. Over 1 million cycling trips are made on this route each year (and an equally large number of walking journeys) and this critical mass of cyclists acted as a catalyst to support the ongoing programme of cycling provision in the area. Right from its inception, both campaigners and the Council recognised the Path opening at Coxgrove Hill, July 2012 value of connecting through to Yate and indeed the first part of the route from Mangotsfield Station to Coxgrove Hill (for Pucklechurch) was opened by 1986.

  • The Skidmore and Scudamore Families of Frampton Cotterell, Gloucestershire 1650-1915
    Skidmore (Scudamore) Families of Frampton Cotterell Linda Moffatt © 2015 THE SKIDMORE AND SCUDAMORE FAMILIES OF FRAMPTON COTTERELL, GLOUCESTERSHIRE 1650-1915 by Linda Moffatt © 2015 1st edition 2012, published at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com 2nd edition 2015, published at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com This is a work in progress. The author is pleased to be informed of errors and to receive additional information for consideration for future updates at [email protected] This file was last updated by Linda Moffatt on 8 March 2016. DATES Prior to 1752 the year began on 25 March (Lady Day). In order to avoid confusion, a date which in the modern calendar would be written 2 February 1714 is written 2 February 1713/4 - i.e. the baptism, marriage or burial occurred in the 3 months (January, February and the first 3 weeks of March) of 1713 which 'rolled over' into what in a modern calendar would be 1714. Civil registration was introduced in England and Wales in 1837 and records were archived quarterly; hence, for example, 'born in 1840Q1' the author here uses to mean that the birth took place in January, February or March of 1840. Where only a baptism date is given for an individual born after 1837, assume the birth was registered in the same quarter. BIRTHS, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS Databases of all known Skidmore and Scudamore bmds can be found at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com PROBATE A list of all known Skidmore and Scudamore wills - many with full transcription or an abstract of its contents - can be found at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com in the file Skidmore/Scudamore One-Name Study Probate.
