KEYNSHAM NEWS T
he last few months have been very difficult for a number of people. I hope that you are coping with the continued restrictions caused by our current situation. It is vital that we remain vigilant with our behaviour to protect the weakest in our precious community. I have some sad news to report. Tony Crouch, one of our Town Councillors died on 18th December, aged 68. He has struggled with his health in recent years. Despite that, he was a tower of strength and had served for 21 of the 29 years of the Town Council’s life. He was an active member of St John’s Church and was always committed to the more vulnerable and weakest members of our society. He worked hard and served on many Town Council committees together with some on B&NES as well. I attended, virtually, his funeral on January 11th where a warm, loving and sometimes humorous tribute was made by his son Dan, whom many of us will no doubt know. At the Town Council meeting on 19th January and the B&NES Council meeting on 21st January, there was a minute’s silence in his honour. I knew Tony for 35 years. We had many joint experiences together, all devoted to attempting to improve the lives of local people. The Town Council staff will contact the family in due course to consider an appropriate memorial as a recognition of his service to the town. We shall all miss him. With a new year, we must try to look positively towards a brighter future. In the meantime, we should make the very best of every day we are given.

Play area updates D
uring this current period of National Lockdown, the play areas have been subject to heavy usage and wet weather. Consequently, in some play areas, the grass has become very wet and muddy and in some cases irreparably damaged.
Friday mornings and during lockdown an update will be published on the Town Council website and Facebook pages on their status.
Upper Memorial Park Play Area following two weeks “rest” and application of sand. SAFETY FIRST PLEASE would all residents continue to use the play areas responsibly and respect all the safety signage. Please remember to bring hand sanitiser with you. The Town Council has received a lot of complaints about overcrowding which prevents everyone from social distancing. Lower Memorial Park – 29th January 2021 We’re sure some parents may be happy for their children to get muddy, however the Town Council is concerned about the slip hazard for both adults and children - especially elderly relatives. Whilst the Town Council will do everything it can to keep the play areas open, which will include putting down sand or roping off areas of grass, there may be some occasions where a play area will have to temporarily close until the weather improves, the grass has a chance to recover and it is safe to walk on for all visitors. This was the case recently with Upper Memorial Park. The Play Areas are inspected on Monday and
DURING BUSY TIMES - PLEASE LIMIT YOUR CHILD’S TIME ON ANY ONE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT TO 5 MINUTES. If the play areas are busy, please either come back later or visit one of the other sites as follows: UPPER MEMORIAL PARK LOWER MEMORIAL PARK (TODDLERS ONLY) KELSTON PARK HOLMOAK DOWNFIELDS PARK ROAD MANOR ROAD TEVIOT ROAD Thank you for helping to ensure that all children in Keynsham get an opportunity to play.

eynsham & District Dial-a-Ride (KaDDaR) is the one and only Community Transport Scheme operating in Keynsham, Saltford and the surrounding villages.
KaDDaR have continued operating throughout the start of the pandemic 10 months ago, which includes the lockdowns and we are providing many alternative services to the Community.
KaDDaR have always worked and supported the Community by supplying an affordable, safe and reliable local Community Bus Service as well as providing options for groups to hire our vehicles.
Due to the continuous lockdown, KaDDaR have not been able to operate full/half day trips to places like Weston, Wells, Street, Cardiff, Swansea and many different Garden Centres due to social distancing, but we continue to operate the Door-to-Door service locally covering Keynsham, Salford and the surrounding villages.
At the start of Covid-19, back in April 2020, national bus operators providing transport to/ from Keynsham stopped their services for a while,

KEYNSHAM NEWS
Keynsham Town Council BUDGET AND PRECEPT FOR 2021/2022 T
he Town Council is budgeting as follows for 2021/2022:
Expenditure £956,895 To be financed by: Income (less CIL/s106**): £99,350– £54,160 £45,190 Drawn down from Ear Marked reserves £170,029
Shortfall £741,676 The shortfall is required to be found from the precept, which is the amount paid by households as part of their Council tax, and if required it is supplemented by an amount from General Reserves. **Note: CIL/s106 is restricted income and cannot be used to finance revenue expenditure so is automatically transferred into an Earmarked Reserve and drawn down each year specifically for identified infrastructure projects. When deciding the amount of precept, the Town Council needs to weigh up several factors as follows. (a) the need to balance the budget i.e., find £741,676. (b) t he desire to keep council tax increases low for residents – especially so because of the impact of COVID on family income (c) the strategic need to ensure adequate financial resource planning to
(i) support the Council’s development strategy including addressing climate change and capital project requirements (ii) sustain future activities/services as detailed in the 4-year plan and (iii) respond to increased devolution of services from B&NES (d) the statutory obligation to ensure an adequate level of general reserves are maintained as part of the accountability and audit risk management requirements. This level is revised annually and is currently set at £453,670 (e) the need to ensure long term financial provision for recurrent annual revenue costs including staffing without relying on general reserves – which once used are no longer available to support future recurrent expenditure.
At the January meeting, the Town Council have approved a precept demand of £628,364. This represents a 2% increase in the proportion of Council tax paid by residents to B&NES
KEYNSHAM NEWS

The case for a 2% increase in amount per household Keynsham is at a crucial moment in the development of the Town. The High Street continues to see tenants closing down. The population continues to increase and will likely continue to do so with further projects in North and East Keynsham. The impact of climate change looms large over all our lives. Keynsham Town Council is actively responding to these challenges. We have co-funded the rejuvenation of the High Street and are continuing to seek more funds through the High Street Heritage Action Zone (HSHAZ) initiative from Historic England. We have formed an Environmental and Sustainability Committee to encourage both the Council and the local community to take positive steps to counter climate change, pollution and damage to our local environment. We have expanded the remit of the Arts Committee to include Events, Tourism and Heritage and will provide and promote a steady programme of markets and cultural events to increase footfall to our rejuvenated High Street, building an even larger sense of community through the HSHAZ Cultural Consortium. This includes setting aside sums to complete heritage asset projects such as refurbishing and re-siting the Historic Keynsham Mosaics and manufacturing and installing the Timeline panels. We are also taking on the responsibilities for local facilities such as Holmoak play area and will continue to campaign for the renewal of equipment in every section of the Town. We are planning to revise and increase our Youth Services in the coming year. All this comes at a price. We have had to increase the staffing levels for the coming year to support all this activity. We are taking £170K from our ear-marked reserves to fund a series of capital projects and have increased the amount of grants from £30,000 to £42,000 to be awarded to community and COVID 19 groups this coming
year. This is in addition to grants totalling approx. £28,000 awarded to Keynsham Music Festival, Keynsham and District Dial-A-ride, Keynsham in Bloom, Keynsham Farmers’ Market and Keynsham Now Youth Council. To balance the books (i.e., the £741,676 shortfall) we would have had to increase the amount we get from each household by 20.78 pence per week which the Town Council was not happy to do. So instead, we decided to reduce that increase from each Band D equivalent household to 3.58 pence per week and commit £59,152 from General Cash Reserves. This represents a 2% increase on the amount each household pays and is in line with inflation. The Town Council is currently preparing the 2021/2022 Council Tax leaflet for approval at its next meeting. This shows the proportion of council tax spent on all the different services and activities funded by the Town Council and will be published in the next edition of Keynsham News.

sad loss of Cllr Tony Crouch I
t is with great sadness that we report that Cllr Tony Crouch, a much loved and respected member of the community, representing Keynsham North Ward, passed away on Friday, 18th December, after a battle with cancer. The Council extends its sincerest condolences to his family on the loss of a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. Cllr Crouch has been an elected Councillor on the Town Council for 21 years, since it was formed in 1991 and has contributed to all the major Committees, including most recently serving as Chair of the Planning & Development Committee. He was a gentle giant of a man, with his interests firmly rooted in the church, the community, and the people of Keynsham. He was especially focused on representing the needs of those less fortunate whilst championing the causes of those community organisations such as Keynsham & District DialARide who were there to help. Tony loved Council meetings and although relatively quiet (for the most part), he would step in when he felt strongly about something and could be relied upon to use his encyclopaedic knowledge of Council procedures to chivvy the Council along with a sensible motion or two if he felt the discussion was going off track. He was also mindful of how Council decisions could impact on staff workloads and was an emphatic advocate for the staff wellbeing on many occasions.
A Keynsham Town Council staff member said: “Tony was a Councillor in 1992 when I first started working for the Council and I always got on well with him and he got on particularly well with the then Town Clerk, Derek Wolfe. In the year he was Chairman of the Council, he used to come into the office regularly, was always very pleasant and jovial and very considerate of the staff who he would regularly thank for the work they were doing.” As a Councillor, Tony believed passionately in the work and functioning of the Town Council, and that it continued to be an effective voice for local democracy in action. He has been a highly respected and much-loved Councillor (and friend) and it seems fitting to end this tribute with the words of one of our newest Councillors: “When I first joined the Council, with no experience, it did not take me long to realise what a really cool, fair and knowledgeable man Tony Crouch was. He was one of the councillors who really helped me understand what it is to be a councillor and understand my role. Tony was somebody who was ALWAYS happy to be at the end of the phone and help and share his experience and knowledge of Town Council protocol and procedures and was such a levelheaded and lovely man.” We will miss Tony very much, and Keynsham has indeed lost one of its precious treasures.

Please be sensible at our Play areas I
t has been brought to the attention of the Town Council that following the reopening of Upper Memorial Park, users have not been abiding by the rules in place during COVID. Far too many people have been trying to use this play area at once at weekends. Social distancing is not being respected and people have been eating and drinking within the play area itself. Residents have complained to the Town Council that it is no longer a safe place to play.
The number of people who can use the play area safely is now limited to 40 people (adults and children). Only a maximum of 20 adults can safely be accommodated in the play area at any one time with the necessary social distancing so please no more than one adult per child. At the time of going to press, new posters are being put up and the police are being asked to make extra patrols.
If this continues the Town Council will either have to introduce a queueing/marshalling system which will cost the town £250 per day or close the play area.

Keynsham MUSIC FESTIVAL F
or the team, planning for each Festival starts in September. This year of course, that has been impossible. Having to miss last year was so disappointing for all of us – we had booked performers, booked marquees, booked the Park and paid all our licence fees. We had also planned a couple of great new additions to the Festival. We are so fortunate in having such a great relationship with our suppliers that every one of them said they would carry over all the deposits we had already paid. That removed a considerable financial headache for us and allowed us to plan for the future. Special thanks go to Keynsham Town Council who have been so supportive. Although we haven’t had much opportunity to plan with confidence, we sincerely hope to be able to put on a Festival this year! We are still discussing how much of a Festival we can realistically achieve this year but, potentially, we will be able to have a cut down version to take place on one day during late Summer / early Autumn. As we all know, adherence to Government guidelines to ensure the safety of everyone –
performers, site crew and the community as a whole – is of paramount importance. If we can make it safe, we look forward to seeing you in the Park later in the year. As soon as we can, we’ll let you know what we have arranged. We already have our sights on 2022 which will be our 25th Anniversary! However, for this year we will do all that we possibly can to provide a great day out for everyone. Mike May Chair, Keynsham Music Festival

KEYNSHAM MEMORIAL Park BANDSTAND PERFORMANCES C
urrently, due to COVID restrictions, the Town Council cannot even think about planning our usual Bandstand programme for 2021. However, with the introduction of the vaccination programme and if everyone is sensible – staying at home, only going out when it is really necessary, wearing a mask when instructed to do so and washing hands regularly - things will improve.
Hopefully, towards the middle of summer, we may start to put on the occasional bandstand performance (COVID regulations and Risk Assessments permitting). In the meantime, stay safe. We may soon be singing along to our favourite tunes at the bandstand!

local history in print D
o you remember the old shops at the top of Bath Hill? Or the sights and smells of the livestock market by The Talbot? Published last autumn, this book, produced by the Keynsham and Saltford Local History Society will be of interest to many of the town’s residents, both those who grew up here and those who have arrived more recently. Titled Keynsham & Saltford 1945 – 2020, it has been researched and written by the Local History Society over the last few years. The volume has 176 pages, in full colour, with over 200 illustrations, and tells the story of the area since the end of the war. The content is in two parts, with the first recording events over the period, ranging from the important to the unusual. Starting with the VE
Day celebrations in 1945, it runs up to just before lockdown last March and includes many activities not recorded anywhere else. Longer sections tell the story of Somerdale, the 1968 flood and Keynsham Hospital. The second part looks first at personalities with a local connection, some well-known, others not. There are chapters on particular themes such as Keynsham High Street, schools and churches. Many local sports clubs are also featured. The book was edited by Society chairman Richard Dyson, who said: “We have taken a slightly different approach to describing our recent history and it has proved successful. Many local people have contributed through sharing their memories, lending pictures or writing sections and we are very grateful to them all.” As well as appealing to local residents, the book makes an ideal gift for those who have moved away and is available at £15.00 per copy direct from the Society. Details are on their website at www.keysalthist.org.uk, by emailing books@keysalthist.org.uk or telephone 0117 9864453. Richard Dyson, Keynsham and Saltford Local History Society

Keynsham High Street Heritage action Zone I
mprovements to the Town Centre public realm were highlighted as a key priority by local people.* Much work has been happening behind the scenes to work towards this aim.
Further details about HSHAZ and Phase 1 can be found at bathnes.gov.uk/keynsham Further printed updates will be shared through local press and subsequent newsletters.
In line with this, last year you will have heard that Keynsham is one of the 68 high streets across the country that were successful in receiving funding from Historic England. Keynsham High Street was awarded £1.1million as part of Historic England’s High Street Heritage Action Zone (HSHAZ) Programme. This programme has been match funded by Keynsham Town Council (£40,000) and Bath and North East Somerset (B&NES) who have contributed £100,000 from the Community Infrastructure Levy. HSHAZ is a partnership programme between B&NES, Keynsham Town Council and Historic England. It will enable us to unleash the power of Keynsham’s historic environment to generate economic growth and improve quality of life in the town centre. This separate programme will follow on from the Keynsham Phase 1 Programme and support further public realm improvements, as well as delivering on sympathetic improvements to historic shop fronts. Progress on phase 1 continues to date. B&NES will continue to share updates on the scheme as required by the programme.

KEYNSHAM NEWS
What will Keynsham’s HSHAZ Programme Deliver? The heritage led programme will focus on either the Temple Street or Upper High Street areas, dependent on the masterplan. The aim will be to enhance the conservation area, to create a more attractive, engaging and vibrant High Street. This will be achieved through four key programme strands; public realm improvements, shop front improvements, community engagement and cultural consortium & programme.
Public Realm Improvements: Master Plan In November 2020, landscape architects, McGregor Coxall, were appointed to carry out a Masterplan exercise for Keynsham High Street. Looking at the whole of the HSHAZ area, from Upper High Street right through to Temple Street (area outlined on the map). The Masterplan will highlight potential areas of opportunity and initial ideas for us to unpack and explore further together. We look forward to sharing this with you soon.

National Cultural Programme We are delighted to announce that later this year, Keynsham High Street will become home to a temporary artwork commissioned by Historic England, in partnership with National Lottery Heritage Fund and Arts Council England, as part of the High Streets Heritage Action Zones’ national Cultural Programme. From summer 2021, Historic England will unofficially “twin” towns across England, through a programme of creative commissions that will see artists working with local communities to uncover what they have in common. Only six pairs of ‘twin town’ commissions have been announced from across the country, so this is exciting news for Keynsham, which has been twinned with the county town of Bedford, Bedfordshire. Artists Ellie Shipman and Katy Hawkins will begin a creative community project in Keynsham and Bedford called Public Announcements. The project aims to bring to light the hidden activity and histories of Keynsham and Bedford through designing signage artworks with local residents.
Cultural Consortium
What would you want to say about Keynsham High Street?
A Cultural Consortium has been set up by Keynsham Town Council, in partnership with B&NES Council. This is made up of many local organisations who have worked hard to quickly put together a £118K bid for cultural funding to Historic England.
To get involved in design workshops and help shape the project get in touch with Ellie at ellie@ellieshipman.com, or to find out more visit eleanorshipman.com or katyghawkins.com
If successful, Keynsham HSHAZ Cultural Programme will take place alongside the main HSHAZ Programme. It will act as a way for people to engage with the built environment and development work, celebrating local character and heritage, activating the High Streets a key place to experience and participate in Keynsham’s culture. We hope to hear imminently about the results of the bid and will keep you posted.
* Through the work conducted to date by the Keynsham Neighbourhood Development Group and in consultations that informed the Phase 1 Keynsham programme, the Keynsham Town Plan, Keynsham Transport Strategy and Bath and North East Somerset’s (B&NES) Placemaking Plan.

COVID-19 COMMUNITY RESILIENCE CONTINGENCY FUND
K
eynsham Town Council has agreed to set up a £10,000 Community Resilience Contingency Fund to assist other organisations in their endeavours to support all those in self-isolation, particularly residents in At-Risk
categories or otherwise vulnerable. Applications can be made at any time to the Town Clerk: email towncerk@keynsham-tc.gov.uk
PLEASE CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR DOG
F
ollowing a series of complaints, the Town Council discussed the issue of dog fouling at its meeting in January. One of the main areas complained about is the Chew Valley walks between Keynsham and Chewton Keynsham. The Town Council will be installing additional dog bins and signage at strategic entry and exit points to this wonderful green space and surrounding lanes and would urge all residents to please clean up after their dogs and put the waste in the bins provided. Photo: Charlie Phillips Whilst this green space has featured heavily in respect of complaints – please would you clean up after your dog wherever you walk in Keynsham including residential roads and other green spaces. If any residents can identify other “hot spots” where you feel a dog bin would help encourage dog owners to “do the right thing”, please contact the Deputy Town Clerk by emailing deputytownclerk@keynsham-tc.gov.uk

CASUAL VACANCY FOR TOWN COUNCILLOR F
ollowing the sad passing of Councillor Tony Crouch, a casual vacancy in Office of Councillor for Keynsham North Ward of Keynsham Town Council has arisen. To comply with legislation, the vacancy first has to be advertised for a minimum period of 14 days so that any 10 electors of the Parish who wish an election to be called can submit their request to the Returning Officer for Bath & North East Somerset Council. At the time of going to press, no such request has been received, so the Town Council is now able to
fill the vacancy by Co-Option. This means that the Town Council will vote to decide who to co-opt to fill the vacancy at its next meeting. The Co-option notice appeared on the Town Council’s web-site on 3rd February, permitting 3 weeks for applications to be submitted. Candidates will be considered at the next meeting of the Town Council on Tuesday March 23rd.

Keynsham’s Tree Planting Initiative O
ne of the initiatives that the Town Council has taken on board is a commitment to improving our environment. We are so lucky in Keynsham to have so many community environmentally minded groups and through the Environment & Sustainability Committee, the Council has successfully brought them together in order to make some realistic headway with the environment locally. We’ve held a well-attended showcase of our local groups earlier this year and now it’s time to put some of those ideas into action. One of our planned initiatives is to include sourcing and planting trees throughout Keynsham and we plan to plant rather a lot over the next couple of years. We have already received a large number of suggestions from residents on where to plant trees and would like to thank everyone for their contributions to date. Sounds straightforward but we will need to seek permission from landowners for many of the tree locations already identified. It’s not that easy, mind you. You also have to take into consideration planning regulations, soil type, potential cabling and other hazards and even planning for environmental changes that may no longer suit traditional trees. Added to that, the fact that so many things have been delayed due to Coronavirus and it means that our initial planting schedule has been put back by a few months. However, at the January meeting, the Town Council has agreed as a first step, it will be ordering trees and hedges for planting this autumn at Manor Road Playing Fields, Holmoak and (subject to B&NES permission) Teviot Road Play Area How’s your garden?
One straightforward initiative is to encourage us all to plant trees at our own properties. Not only does it assist with ‘carbon capture’ but it can also advantage house prices with leafier suburbs, let alone encouraging greater wildlife and just looking downright beautiful for a relatively low maintenance. So how does one go about deciding upon a tree? The simplest thing to do is to visit ‘The Woodland Trust’ website and click on ‘Plant trees.’ There you will learn straightforward and practical information on choosing the correct species for your needs and land. Their jargon free information explains very simply, how to plant a tree, where to plant a tree and how to take care of your trees once they are established. You can even buy your tree directly from them with delivery free of charge. Did you know that planting trees is one of the most useful things a community can do? It encourages greater biodiversity and wildlife. I don’t know about you, but rather a lot of my time was spent looking out of the window during lockdown and I really began to enjoy the abundance of wild birds in the back garden. How many more wild animals might we encourage with a well-placed tree? So that’s it; what’s stopping you? One of the easiest, most useful, beautiful and helpful things you can do this spring is identify where you can plant your tree. Grab you spade and your wellies and good luck. Councillor Dave Biddleston, on behalf of Keynsham Town Council Environment and Sustainability Committee.

State-of-the-art waste and recycling hub AT Pixash Lane
T
he next steps towards the proposed state-of-the-art waste and recycling hub in Keynsham will be starting this month following the formal planning application having been submitted by Bath & North East Somerset Council at the end of January. The council will soon be making unused areas of the Pixash Lane site secure and ensure ecology protection measures have been carried out before and during demolition of existing and redundant buildings. General site preparations will start in the week beginning February 8 with building and superstructure removal works planned to begin in the 3rd or 4th week of February. Residents, businesses and other stakeholders will be kept informed of the plans and any disruption will be kept to a minimum. The existing Refuse and Recycling Centre will remain open as normal for residents during these initial works.
Feedback on the Keynsham Recycling Hub consultation in December 2020 showed that 70% of residents who responded support modern facilities for efficiency and reliability of refuse and recycling collections. A total of 71% of respondents supported the key benefit of the scheme to prepare for the future and encourage more recycling. The feedback from residents and technical officers has been considered by the design team, and the detailed planning submission is now to test the up-to-date proposals against policy requirements and all other considerations. Residents and businesses now have another opportunity to give their views, and external organisations including Natural England, Environment Agency and Network Rail will be consulted. The planning application reference number is 21/00435/EREG03. The consultation closes on 13th March 2021.

Food on Our Doorstep: Making a difference to families in need
F
OOD (Food On Our Doorstep) Clubs are now up and running in Keynsham, Radstock and Odd Down. FOOD Clubs are run as a partnership programme by charities Family Action and FareShare SW, alongside Bright Start Children’s Centres and Radstock Town Council at Radstock Library. The clubs operate weekly, receiving produce from Fareshare, who redistribute food from manufacturers to people who need it most. FOOD Clubs provide families and people at risk of food insecurity, with a sustainable supply of good quality food at a low cost. FOOD Club aims to encourage families to access local support services and be signposted to other agencies and to increase disposable income for local families to improve life chances and wellbeing. Megan Mehnert, a support worker with B&NES FOOD Club, said: “The FOOD Clubs are making a huge difference to people’s lives, especially at what is a really challenging time. The quality and variety of produce we are able to offer is fantastic. Since COVID-19, we have had to adapt our programme and provide food boxes, rather than using a market stall approach. We’ve also
recently put together recipe kits to encourage families to cook together, share skills, learn about healthy eating and nutrition and try new foods and these have gone down really well with club members.” Food On Our Doorstep is a membership scheme, with a nominal annual fee of £1. Once you have joined, you can purchase a bag of tasty food items every week worth approx. £15 for just £3.50! To become a member, a family must live or work within 15 minutes of a FOOD club. The Keynsham branch can be found at Keynsham Children’s Centre, 65 West View Rd BS31 2UE, on a Thursday afternoon from 2pm4pm. During lockdown, when the weather permits, the FOOD Clubs will operate outside, undercover of a gazebo and members will be given individual collection times. For more information, please contact Keynsham Children’s Centre on 01225 395400 or email banesfoodclubs@family-action.org.uk/ Alternatively, visit www.family-action.org.uk

STAYING ACTIVE in YOUR HOME A
s Lockdown across England puts an even greater emphasis on the health and wellbeing of older people in isolation, the Goldies Charity is increasing its weekly online content to include gentle chair-exercise at home. When ‘Goldies’ were forced by Covid to cancel all their daytime sessions across England and Wales last March they then introduced online sessions through Facebook and YouTube. These developed to become twice weekly with Tuesday sessions taken by Rachel Parry and Thursdays by Cheryl Davies who have both worked for the Charity for a number of years as daytime session leaders. With Cheryl’s Thursday session based on the popular Goldies format of singing with well-loved

popular songs and onscreen words, the weekly Tuesday 11am sessions led by Rachel have developed into a more magazinestyle format. Rachel records her sessions from her home in Thornbury near Bristol. She said: “We have had a fantastic response from older folk across England and we feature different subjects each Tuesday. Many Age-Related organisations, Local Authorities and Town Councils promote the sessions. The chair-based exercises encourage people to stretch as well as sing and we hope to develop these in the weeks ahead. We know that there is an emphasis this Winter on preventing Falls in the home and our gentle chair exercises encourage movement to those wellloved songs of the 60s and onwards. Dr Afroditi Stathi is Associate Professor in Physical Activity, Ageing and Health at the University of Birmingham and a Trustee of the Golden-Oldies Charity. She has been closely involved with the development of gentle Active Songs which have been introduced by Goldies, she said; “Evidence stresses that the barriers of having no reasons to get out and about and nothing to look forward to can be broken with the Goldies wellbeing sessions. The message is loud and clear: You can delay or reverse mobility limitations and maintain independence, and you can enjoy later life to the full. Loneliness in old age is not inevitable.” www.goldieslive.com is easy to access and is also freely available on YouTube and through Facebook.

BRISTOL AIRPORT aPPEAL NORTH SOMERSET PLANNING DECISIOn PUBLIC ENQUIRY JULY 2021
O
n 10th February 2020 North Somerset Councillors voted (against Officers’ advice) to reject Bristol Airport’s application to expand to cater for an additional three million passengers a year, from around 9 million currently to 12 million by 2025. The vote was passed by 18 votes in favour of rejection, with 7 against and 3 abstentions. The ratification vote on 18th March was even more emphatic (18:2:3). The proposals would see more than 97,000 flights arriving and departing the airport a year, 23,800 flights more than in 2017 and increased night flights during the summer. The plans received more than 11,000 public comments including 8,473 objections to the plan. Despite the massive reduction in passenger numbers/air travel owing to COVID, the Airport has now decided to appeal the decision by North Somerset Council and the Appeal will be heard at a Public Enquiry starting 20th July 2021 and sitting for 16 days. Residents and other interested parties have to submit their comments to the Enquiry by 22nd February which will have passed by the time this edition of Keynsham News goes to press. Town and Parish Councils impacted by these proposals (including Keynsham), are being represented by the Parish Councils Airport Association and their appointed legal team at the Enquiry. The Town Council has donated £2000 towards the legal fund and has now submitted a statement of impact to the PCAA for inclusion in their evidence bundle, objecting to the expansion on the following grounds: a) Climate change and contribution to carbon zero – UK law now requires all UK greenhouse gas emissions to reduce to net zero by 2050. The government has confirmed to Parliament
that this obligation covers the whole economy including aviation. The proposed Airport Expansion does not suitably address how it will achieve net zero by 2050. Keynsham Town Council, like other local councils in North Somerset and B&NES, has declared a Climate Emergency and the proposal provides no support to enabling Town and Parish Councils to achieve their aim of net zero by 2030. The proposal does not take account of carbon emission from the planes and cars traveling to the airport. b) N oise – particularly at night for residents in South West Keynsham (e.g., Manor Road, Meadows, Bilbie Green, Charlton Place) where play areas in these residential areas have been identified as being impacted by noise >40dB. This is above the guidelines recommended by WHO for night noise from aircraft. c) T raffic congestion in and around Keynsham: The airport has not submitted suitable proposals to mitigate traffic congestion in and around Keynsham. The Airport relies on 85% of passengers travelling by car and only 15% by public transport to maintain its business model built on parking fees. Charlton Road up to Whitchurch is already a rat-run that would be impacted by further traffic accessing the airport to avoid congestion on the main roads.

Census 2021 is coming … H
ouseholds across Bath and North East Somerset will soon be asked to take part in Census 2021, which will give a snapshot of modern society. The census is a once-in-a-decade survey that gives us the most accurate estimate of all the people and households in England and Wales. It has been carried out every decade since 1801, with the exception of 1941. It will be the first run predominantly online, with households receiving a letter with a unique access code, allowing them to complete the questionnaire on their computers, phones or tablets. “A successful census will ensure everyone from local government to charities can put services and funding in the places where they are most needed,” Iain Bell, Deputy National Statistician at the Office for National Statistics, said. “This could mean things like doctors’ surgeries, schools and new transport routes. That’s why it is so important everyone takes part and we have made it easier for people to do so online on any device, with help and paper questionnaires for those that need them.” Census day will be on March 21, but households across the country will receive letters with online codes allowing them to take part from early March. The census will include questions about your sex, age, work, health, education, household size and ethnicity. And, for the first time, there will be a question asking people whether they have served in the armed forces, as well as voluntary questions for those aged 16 and over on sexual orientation and gender identity.
Results will be available within 12 months, although personal records will be locked away for 100 years, kept safe for future generations. For more information, visit census.gov.uk

KTCRfm Local Radio K
TCRfm became one year old on the weekend of the 23-24th of January. A year of non-stop broadcasting and undertaken totally in the shadow of Covid.
KTCR is now available from 105.8 FM and also online at www.ktcrfm.com, with a catch-up, or Listen Again facility as well. KTCRfm is also available on Alexa.
Many of the regular programmes broadcasting were on air by mid-February, but the service has continued to grow with new programmes almost monthly. The Keynsham Hour (now the KTCR Hour) was the first off the mark but, of course was already five years old courtesy of Somer Valley FM. Bruce Howard’s Sunday Morning Easy quickly followed.
It is impossible to know what the FM listening figures are without an extensive street survey, which is impossible to carry out in the present circumstances. But information from the online service provides some data: The station’s Facebook page is now averaging 10,000 hits monthly, and the internet service 1000. This is particularly encouraging because the two aren’t linked in any direct way. We might assume that The Facebook users are listening to the radio as well, and of course a good few radio listeners won’t be using Facebook. Additionally, the internet data also reveals listeners in many countries with regulars in Australia, USA and India.
The Good Morning show was an immediate response to the emergence of the pandemic and continues to provide up to the minute information of advice, help and community initiatives.
KTCRfm wishes to thank everyone in the KTCRfm area who has supported the station’s first year, including the @One Community Trust, Burnett Business Park, Truespeed, Keynsham Town Council, B&NES, the 35 people who contribute regular weekly programmes, The National Lottery and The Quartet Community Fund, The Week In and the Aerial Man.
