Kingsway Villagers

It’s nice to see so many Kingsway houses sporting Christmas lights and decorations, the Village looks very festive.

I was planning to get out and take some pictures, but I’ve been terribly busy and getting ready for Christmas with 5 children is never easy… no matter how far ahead we plan we always struggle to get everything done in time

I’ve just completed another tour of Gloucestershire for the annual family “pressy drop-off”. As usual nobody was home first time around, the roads are full of impatient nutters and I came close to running out of petrol because I left all my money and credit cards at home

Oh well… at least I remembered the pressies

MERRY CHRISTMAS KINGSWAY VILLAGERS…

from Angelina, Clive and all the family at…
35, Thatcham Avenue, Kingsway.

We received a circular today which reads:

GP Surgery Coming To Your Area Soon!

Here is an opportunity for you to learn more about the new GP practice that is coming to Kingsway soon.

A representative from Gloucestershire PCT (Primary Care Trust) will be at Bryant Homes Design Studios Thatcham Avenue on Saturday 15^th December between 10.00am and 12noon to give details of the surgery.

We would like to hear your views on the proposal and hope you can take the time to view the plans and information on offer.

Contact: Cllr Jackie Hall Telephone: 883463 or email if you can’t attend but would like additional information.

More details will follow as soon as I get them… (Details received in Feb’ - see here).

The former RAF Quedgeley site has been proposed by the Gloucestershire County Council as one of two possible sites for the building of a giant incinerator (site #2 is at Javelin Park, Haresfield).

The incinerator would be capable of burning 90,000 tonnes of waste a year and has been proposed as an alternative to landfill… this despite the fact that their manifesto promised not to introduce incinerators, and instead look at other methods of disposal.

Local Politicians have joined forces to block the proposal, voicing concerns including what will be done with the resulting toxic ash, increased levels of waste being “dumped on Gloucester”, the theory that incineration “undermines recycling by relying on waste to make a profit” and “a need to ‘feed the beast’, meaning waste which could be recycled, will be burned”.

Parmjit Dhanda MP for Gloucester has created an online petition.

The county will make their decision next April.
