South
Gloucestershire Council’s Regulatory Committee have agreed to consult on a
proposal to publish a list of all licensed vehicles. In summary, the
Committee wishes to provide users of the licensed taxi and private hire service
in South Gloucestershire with as much information as they can to enable an informed
decision on how best to travel.
The Council is
also consulting on a specification for wheelchair accessible vehicles.
Statutory guidance states that a vehicle should only be included in the
authority’s list of wheelchair accessible vehicles if it would be possible for
the user of a “reference wheelchair” to enter, leave and travel in the
passenger compartment in safety and reasonable comfort whilst seated in their
wheelchair. The definition of “reference wheelchair” is set out in detail in
the specification.
This consultation will be open until 8th December 2019.
Your response or
observations, in writing, should reach this Licensing Authority by no later
than 23.59hrs on Sunday 8th December.
You can respond to this consultation in the following ways:

Wheelchair Accessible Taxis here

The long awaited natural play area at Beesmoor Road is finally officially open for you and your family to enjoy.
Kate Colechin, Member of the Beesmoor Road Playing Field Management Committee, has said the following about the new equipment:
“The wait is over and the play area at Beesmoor Road Playing Fields is open! Children and families have been enjoying the new play area during the summer holidays. Our brief was to install a creative and imaginative space for children to play. The children’s ideas during the ‘Designing for Real’ workshop, facilitated by Touchwood back in 2016 have been developed to create the new play area that we have today. We have had significant grants from a number of organisations including Frampton Cotterell Parish Council have and we are very grateful for everyone’s support.
To
finish the final phase the play area will close in the autumn 2019 so that the
basket swing, slide from the tower structure and the wooden fence in between
the playing field and the play area can be installed.
The
very final item to be installed will be the willow tunnel (subject to grant
funding). This will be installed as part of a community workshop in February
2020 (similar to the den frame workshops in July). Over 80 children and their
families came to the den frame workshops at the start of the summer holidays
and enjoyed helping to create part of their play area.
The new play area and playing fields are looked after by Beesmoor Road Playing Fields Management Committee, which is made up of local volunteers. We are always looking for people to join us so that we spread the workload, get things done a bit faster and achieve more. Please contact us to find out what’s involved: beesmoorroadpf@outlook.com“
Please don’t hesitate to comment below with your feedback about the new play area – we would love to hear from you!
