The accident happened at about 11pm on Friday. The unmarked police car had reportedly been travelling along Pool Road towards the junction of Chiphouse Road and Pound Road when it was in collision with the rear of a Vauxhall car in which there were four people on their way home after a night out. A number of police vehicles and paramedics were quickly on the scene but Shauna Sandrone and Stephanie Scutt, bar staff at the nearby Jolly Cobbler pub, were the first there, managing to open car doors and get the occupants out. Zan Sparkes, one of the casualties, said: “All I was aware of was smoke, noise and people telling me to get out of the car.” It is understood that one man was taken to A&E at Southmead Hospital for treatment and was allowed home the following day, while two others suffered cuts and bruising. Landlord Mike Roper said that the crossroads were dangerous and this was the second serious incident at the junction in the 10 months since he took over the pub. On Monday an Avon & Somerset police spokesman said: “A police car on an emergency call collided with another vehicle in Chiphouse Road, Kingswood. Three people in that car were injured. The police driver and his passenger were not hurt. “The driver of the police car has been suspended from driving police vehicles, pending an investigation.” in The Week • Thursday 9th October 2014 3 Willsbridge Crackdown on unauthorised tippers ANew new chapter beganera this week for for historic historic Willsbridge Mill Willsbridge Mill South Gloucestershire’s Sort It! recycling centres at as a community interest company took over the lease from Mangotsfield, Stoke Gifford, Thornbury and Yate are to step Avon Wildlife Trust. up user residency checks to reduce unauthorised use of The group already had an involvement with the mill, having run the sites. the Coffee Mill café there, but the café closed last year after the Every tonne of waste tipped by unauthorised users, such as wildlife trust felt it was too difficult to support. non-residents or commercial traders, costs the council £100 to For the past three decades, the mill, barn and land immediately process.

Many businesses interested in moving to the so called 'Market Place' have been put off signing up due to the one-off costs of fitting out the new units.

While the rental rates are commercially competitive, there is also a £2 per square foot service charge to pay to the council for upkeep of the common areas, which is adding about 20% to the rent.
