Kingsway Villagers

…Meet at

Kingsway Community Centre – Naas Lane,
Every Friday Evening: 19:45 – 21:15
 
(Editors Note: These meetings are no longer taking place – See Comments).

On the 16th October 2009, we opened this new venture with a Service of Dedication and were thrilled at the number of friends who came to support us.

We had a very good attendance and would like to thank all for their support and encouragement and hope that word about us will spread.

With a varied program of services; workshops, development, clairvoyance, philosophy, discussions and more, we hope that there will be something for everyone. Why not come along and see for yourself.

Anyone interested in what we do is quite welcome to attend any of our meetings. We welcome both established Spiritualists and those who are interested in finding out or wish to know exactly what we do.

We try to provide a place where we can leave behind the worries and troubles of our everyday life to spend a time of “‘Peace, Quiet and Harmony”. in a Haven of Light, to discover and explore our Spiritual selves, and we guarantee all a very warm welcome with a cuppa and biscuit afterwards.

My partner and I moved to Kingsway October 2008 and shortly after this time we put our names on the waiting list for an allotment in Gloucester. We were told that it would be about a year to 2 year wait.

We then found out that the Parish Council had secured land in Kingsway for allotments and we would be able to have one there when they have been completed – which was after all of the housing development had been completed – fair enough!

After waiting for about 6 months we enquired again with regards to an allotment in Kingsway thinking our names had been left off the list (or just forgotten) only to find out that the allotments still hadn’t been completed and no-one knew when they would be. In fact I was told "because of the recession, all the building work stopped, so it’ll be when all of that is finished".
Whilst I understand that it’s last on their "list", would it not make some sense to get it sorted so that people can get on with it?
(Or is it just me being too eager)!

I was wondering if anyone knew when the completion of the allotments will be?

It may sound silly but now is the time we should be ordering our seeds and winter vegetable plants and digging the ground and it would be nice to get an answer!

After all it is the "recession" and we’re just trying to save ourselves some money doing something we enjoy, and trying to be more "green".

I just wanted to remind everyone that building is restricted here to:
8:00am – 7:30pm Monday to Friday & 8:00am – 12:00pm on Saturdays

The builders lost an appeal for permission to start work at 7:30am, but this has not stopped some off them!

GCC planning have been brilliant on enforcement with two of them, but recently one builder on Thatcham (just after Miller Homes) seems to think these rules are not for them.

If you see them on site before 8:00am, let GCC planning enforcement know and they will sort it.

Lorries they are not allowed on site before 8:00am and must use Naas Lane.

As the builders don’t finish anything, let’s at least keep the morning quiet until 8:00am and no Sunday working!

Does anyone have any idea when all the hardcore is going to removed from Woodvale (towards the business park) so that we can use the road to go towards the Naas Lane roundabout?

It is really starting to irk me that we cant use a road that has been laid and is intended for the purpose yet we have to go on some silly detour which is about a mile just to get to a place that is about 300 yards from the estate, please somebody have some good news?

Hi,

Does anyone know anything about the free 28-day buss pass?

I went to Bryant’s office and they don’t know anything, telling me to call Stagecoach.

I called Stagecoach and they don’t know anything, telling me to contact Kingsway!

I called QUVL and Andrew Hunter sent me an email with Nathan Williams’s contact details, which I have to give to Bryant office.

I went back to the office and still they don’t anything.

Anyone knows what is it going on?

Stagecoach is saying it is up to the developers, the developers are saying it is up to Stagecoach!

These are the words of Nathan Williams:

“The Mega bus passes will be made available – along with the local route 14 mini-guide timetable – to Kingsway residents as they move in to their new homes. Soon we will distribute dated Megabus passes and timetable mini guides to homes already occupied on Kingsway.”

Is it still true?

Thank you.

Hi Folks,

On the off chance…

Does anyone commute daily to Filton, Bristol (or through it) and would like to share some of the costs?

I work next to Airbus (or GKN as it is now) and in keeping with trying to only have one car, would be more than happy to contribute to expenses to get a lift.

If you do, and would be willing, please drop me an email at mrbpkirby@hotmail.com

Cheers,

Baz
