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. -

His name is George Ellis and you can read his “letter from America” on page 28. I wonder if there is anyone, in our parish, who might remember him or any of his family. If anyone does know of him it would be lovely to hear from you. Please contact me. George has written some more paragraphs, which will appear in our summer edition. One never knows who is “out there” reading our stuff!! YOUNG POYNTZ: - Jess Hatherell is always looking for articles from the younger members of our community, so please contact her.

A Chipping Sodbury, Dodington & Yate Cycling Network
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. -
May2012-April2013
834 MINUTES OF IRON ACTON PARISH COUNCIL ANNUAL MEETING Monday 21st May 2012 The Annual Meeting of Iron Acton Parish Council was held in the Marshall Rooms commencing at 7.30pm. Present: - Councillor Sheppard (Chairman), Councillor Bellis (Vice Chairman), Councillor Heal, Councillor. Huish, Councillor Lomas, Councillor Blanchard, Councillor Taylor, Mrs. Roylance (taking Minutes) and Mrs. Beal (Clerk). At the beginning of the meeting it was resolved that Mrs Roylance take the Minutes. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Three members of the public were present. Mr. Chris Wright addressed the Parish Councillors in connection with the quote for a base line survey for all the trees in the Parish Council’s care (excluding Chillwood). The quote covered two different levels of survey, plotting of each tree and tagging or a hazard assessment, the former being the most comprehensive. Mr. Wright stated that Chillwood is a separate issue and a management plan will be required to take any action forward. Councillor Taylor requested this should be an agenda item for the next meeting. Mrs. Geraldine Whittle enquired as to how the new Clerk’s hours would be allocated with regard to people wishing to contact her. She was advised that the principle was that periods when the public could expect a response would be agreed between the Parish Council and the Clerk and then made public, the example being that for the previous Clerk this has been Mon, Weds & Fri from 0930-1300. It was requested that at the next meeting the provision of a dedicated phone number and answer phone for the Clerk would be discussed. -

National Grid Media Centre
Investors Home Press Releases Media Contacts Home / Press Releases / National Grid to deliver new equipment to Iron Acton substation 18 Jul 2016 • New equipment to be transported on Sunday morning, 24 July 2016 to substation near Iron Acton • Large, slow-moving vehicle with police escort may cause disruption on local road network • Equipment required to upgrade existing infrastructure to ensure reliable electricity supplies On Sunday 24 July National Grid will transport new, 235 tonne transformer to replace old equipment at Iron Acton substation, South Gloucestershire. The transformer, a piece of equipment needed to change the voltage of electricity before it’s transmitted through the power network, will begin its journey from Avonmouth Port in Bristol on 24 July at 8.00. It will travel to Iron Acton substation, where we estimate an arrival time of between 14.30 and 15.00. A special, heavy haulage lorry will transport the transformer. The lorry will be 55 metres long by 5 metres wide and weigh 235 tonnes. Due to the size and weight, the lorry will travel between 10 and 15 miles per hour. A police escort and special haulage team will accompany the lorry to ensure the safety of the public and our team. The police escort will also be there to manage traffic and to halt traffic for a short time at certain places, such as when the lorry needs to straddle two road lanes, turn or travel along narrow roads. Due to the size of the lorry, it must take an indirect route to Iron Acton substation to avoid hazards, such as weak bridges and narrow turning points.
