Caroline, who sadly lost her mother Janet to a brain tumour three years ago, was inspired by the Christmas Hope Trees which decorate the charity’s Research Centres of Excellence across the UK each year. The Hope Tree cards will join other festive favourites in the charity’s range. All cards are priced at £4 per pack of ten, with at least 60% of the proceeds going towards supporting vital brain tumour research. Brain Tumour Research is the only national charity in the UK focused on funding sustainable research to find a cure for brain tumours, which kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer. www.braintumourresearch.org/fundraise/christmas-cards 2 Families Gloucestershire To advertise call: 01684 770566 or email: [email protected] familiesonline.co.uk News & Views Girls Outperform Boys In SATS Provisional results of the primary school Key Stage 2 SATs tests show girls performing better than boys in all areas.

    CTP Phase 4 Original ETROs - Formal Representations with personal data redacted Enquiry Reference Date Enquiry Detail Number 1 29/06/2018 St Pauls Road I wish to see evidence that the council has undertaken formal risk assessments with regard to the effects of displacement of traffic into surrounding streets on road and public safety. 2 29/06/2018 Hales Road Closing the Boots Corner scheme for general traffic is a very bad decision. Traffic will now spread to residential areas and the fumes from Diesel as well as Petrol will now invade residential areas to the detrimental health of all residents, especially children and older people!! The Cheltenham Borough Council has NOT listened to the residents of Cheltenham which is a disgrace and it is surprising that the County Council has agreed to execute this scheme! This will certainly have repercussions in the Ballot Box at future Elections !! Shame on both the County Council and Cheltenham Borough Council, especially Cheltenham Borough Council !!! 3 29/06/2018 Battledown Approach A terrible plan, with no thought for alternative routes. Going to create more pollution due to traffic and drive people out of town. The dying town centre will truly be dead. What a waste of money! Do any tax payers want this? 4 03/07/2018 Bishop's Cleeve Totally agree with scheme except being able to not drive through town because of existing restrictions- not sure routes are viable without causing chaos. You need to create a clear run and by stopping Clarence street you have pushed traffic to side streets.
