Gloucestershire Lib Dems call for road improvements to encourage more to commute by bike August 15 is the UK's annual Cycle to Work day, one of the largest event in the bike calendar and sees thousands of workers ditch the car and cycle to work instead. The benefits of cycling are enormous, from promoting healthy bodies and mental wellbeing, to cutting the amount of pollution and congestion on our roads. Yet despite this, only three per cent of the UK's commuters use a bike to get to and from work - one of the lowest rates in Europe. At the other end of the scale, 43% of Dutch and 30% of Danes cycle daily. Councillor Iain Dobie, Liberal Democrats county council spokesman on cycling, said: "Our county has some of the most stunning routes to cycle, either socially or on people's commute to work. "However, people are being put off cycling because they do not feel safe on our roads, meaning both they and wider society miss out on the incalculable benefits. "Given the state of Gloucestershire's roads - most notabl
There are calls for Gloucester MP Richard Graham to apologise after he suggested immigrants could not use dustbins. In one of his regular emails to constituents the Conservative Member of Parliament called for an "education programme for immigrants not used to urban recycling". He has been condemned by Dr Rebecca Trimnell, his Liberal Democrat opponent at the next General Election, who called on him to apologise. Mr Graham's comments were made in the week in which former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson was accused of Islamophobia after saying Muslim women wearing burkas "look like letter boxes". The Gloucester MP sent the email last week to welcome a further step forward towards the closure of Hempsted tip. He said the opening next year of the new Javelin Park incinerator would mean that all of Stroud and Gloucester's waste would no longer go to landfill. "Of course that isn't the end of the story, although a hugely significant change," he wrote. "There is still more work in our city (and all of our county to
A new GP surgery at Kingsway will complement existing services in Quedgeley. The new premises will be run by Rosebank Health, which already operates the Rosebank and Severnvale surgeries. There are no plans to close either of the existing surgeries.
The county council has been told it must publish more details about the £500 million incinerator contract. The Information Commissioner has ruled some parts of a previously redacted report must be revealed. The Lib Dems campaigned against building it at Javelin Park. "The secrecy around the contract is a deep concern," said Liam Harries.

An appeal has been launched against the refusal by councillors for planning permission to build a primary school on open space at Clearwater Drive in Quedgeley. Councillors on Gloucester City Council planning committee rejected the application last year after a campaign by local residents and supported by the Liberal Democrats. The Diocese of Gloucester Academies Trust had applied to build a new school on the field, which is popular with dog walkers. It would provide a new home for Clearwater Church of England Academy, which is currently using temporary accommodation at Hardwicke Parochial Primary School. Under the plans there would have been enough space for 420 pupils from reception year upwards. The Liberal Democrats have long argued the land should be retained as open space and the new school built at Kingsway where new homes are being built. Local residents were also concerned about traffic problems if the school was to be built at Clearwater Drive. The Education and Skills Funding Agency has now lodged
