From the Editor

Local Magazines Published by Glos Directories - connecting local businesses with local people

Dear Reader, Can you believe we are in August already! I’m really not sure where this year has gone and 2017 has certainly been interesting thus far. I hope you are enjoying the summer holidays and the long break isn’t proving too much of a strain on you or your purse. The summer holidays can be a worrying time for some parents, whether it’s trying to find childcare, thinking of things to do to keep the children entertained or just being mum's taxi! Why not take a look at the useful 'What’s On' section in the back of the magazine for some great ideas on places to take the children or indeed the whole family. A great event for dog owners and lovers is Paws in the Park which takes place on Sunday 6th August at Pitville Pump Room Lawn, starting at 11.00am. There will be 10 classes including dog most like its owner, best rescue dog and child’s best friend. Or how about the Mid-Counties Co-operative Gloucestershire Fun Day which is being held on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th August from 11.00am to 7.00pm at Newlands Park in Bishop's Cleeve. It’s sure to be a great day out for all the family so hope to see you there! Finally, now that Wimbledon is over, take some time to relax in the garden with a nice cup of tea and read through the August edition of the Bishop's Cleeve Magazine, because before you know it the school runs will be starting all over again! Best wishes, Vicky Muller

ARE YOU READY TO TAKE THE PLUNGE? JULIE ANDREWS IS! the beautiful Hearing Dogs and their recipients, it was a very special day. I was more than happy to offer Hilary some help with Take The Plunge 2.”

Before you get carried away, the Julie Andrews to whom we refer is not the star of The Sound Of Music, but she is indeed a very special lady – wheelchair-bound from birth due to spina bifida, she has an appetite for life second to none, and that includes many fundraising activities. She is going to be “Taking The Plunge” at the similarly named event run by two franchisees from Wagging Tails home from home dog boarding company, Hilary Coates (SN branch) and Alexis Bennett (GL branch). Julie, a self-confessed activity lover,

is looking forward to taking a leap into a lake, to then be rescued by a magnificent trained Newfoundland Dog springing from a rescue craft to bring her safely back. “It was fantastic to get a message from Julie to ask if she could take part, we hope that it will encourage others to be brave and have a go,” said Hilary. “I visited the first event in 2015 before I became a Wagging Tails franchisee”, added Alexis “and I was struck by how much fun everyone was having, as well as meeting the Newfoundlands and

Alexis has found some wonderful carers in her first 18 months, giving dogs their very own individual holiday. Hilary’s business has been running for three years now and is very successful, giving her the perfect opportunity to give back to a charity that is close to her heart. “I wear hearing aids for relatively minor hearing loss. I cannot imagine life without much sound. The way the Hearing Dogs bring their recipients back into the world is truly astonishing and humbling.” For information on the event go to www.waggingtailsuk.co.uk/ newfoundfriends-rescue-day or contact Hilary on sn@waggingtailsuk.co.uk or Alexis on gl@waggingtailsuk.co.uk.

Label EVERYTHING, stitch it, write it, stick it, iron it, stamp it!

ready for school for the very first time? Here are some adorable "first day" photos and some advice from parents for parents. Check out our Facebook page for more suggestions and information about the Friends of BCPA.

SOCKS - generally boys wear black or grey socks and girls wear white or grey socks or red or grey tights. My children wear whatever socks are clean - rarely a matching pair!

Let them practice putting their uniform on. Bring snacks when you come to pick them up they are often hungry after a busy day at school.

Keep goodbyes short & sweet, make a hasty exit to your new found freedom.

One tip which may seem a little odd now but believe me at some point you will be asking yourself how to remove whiteboard pen marks from their uniform. One of our parents has recommended putting washing up liquid on fresh whiteboard pen marks. It works well as a pre-wash treatment (this may sound confusing now, but you will soon understand)!

POLO-SHIRTS - there is a real mix of red and white so neither looks out of place. Red ones don't show sunscreen marks, white look nice with the red jumpers. Your child will be fine, make new friends and grow in confidence with going into the classroom and leaving you. You will be fine, will make new friends, and grow in confidence in leaving your child in the classroom.

See you at the gates in September!

For the best chance of survival, you need someone on the beach who can see the dangers develop: someone who can prevent accidents before they happen and respond instantly if they occur. This is where the RNLI Lifeguards play such a vital role. Ninety-five per cent of a good lifeguard's work is preventative; many lives have already been saved by their vigilance. When you’re heading to a beach, we urge you to respect the water and visit a Lifeguarded Beach. On a lifeguarded beach there are trained professionals to help keep you safe – they’ll be on hand if something goes wrong, in or out of the water. If lifeguards are on patrol, then you’ll need to know your flags:

Red and Yellow flag Lifeguarded area. Safest area to swim, bodyboard and use inflatables.

Black and White chequered flag For surfboards, stand-up paddleboards, kayaks and other non-powered craft. Launch and recovery area for kitesurfers and windsurfers. Never swim or bodyboard here.

Red flag Danger! Never go in the water under any circumstances when the red flag is flying.

Orange windsock Indicates offshore or strong wind conditions. Never use inflatables when the windsock is flying. If the beach you’re at is not lifeguarded, please take extra care if you are going into the water. Remember a lot of beaches overseas do not provide lifeguards. During this hot weather you are reminded of the dangers of swimming in rivers, lakes, quarries, etc. The water is very cold and jumping in can cause “Cold Water Shock” which is a killer. - Fraser Gunn, RNLI Education Liaison Volunteer Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), a charity registered in England and Wales (209603) Please mention Bishop's Cleeve Magazine when responding to advertisers

Hyundai Gets Wacky A concept car is a good way for manufacturers to gauge public reaction to a design, prior to possible mass manufacture. One example is Ford’s Probe 3, which ultimately morphed into the Sierra. It may seem strange today but, in 1981, the public were initially reluctant to accept the jelly mould curves of the Probe, being more used to the square lines of the then current cars. How times and our expectations change. So they may seem wacky now but these concept offerings from Hyundai may eventually be accepted as the norm in our cars. • I.Guardian is a speed ramp that extends out of the side of school buses or taxis to slow traffic

as it passes. An interesting idea and anything that makes motorists adhere to those “20 is Plenty” signs outside schools is welcome in my book. • Moving Forest is a filter unit that sits on the top of Hyundai’s electric cars and cleans the air of dust and dirt. It looks like one of those ski shaped roof boxes and Hyundai suggest it could find a home in coaches and lorries. • Parents will relate to this idea - taking inspiration from kid’s finger painting on misted up windows, with Sketch Book, they now breathe on an interactive screen, do their doodling, which is then saved to the Cloud and can be accessed on other smart devices. Perhaps Sketch Book will keep the little ones so occupied that you in the front won’t hear from the back. “Are we there yet?” Time will tell. By Iain Betson

It’s Not Always Good To Be Green by Pippa Greenwood

Water features are great in a garden but the chances are that from time to time you will have been frustrated by the water turning green. Generally, this will be due to one of many different types of algae infestation, and will get worse during warmer weather, but what should you do about it? Blanket weed is long filaments of tangled algae, making a mass resembling a dense green blanket. Remove by pulling, raking or by using a stick or bamboo cane that you twirl into the algae, then compost it down in your compost bin. Surface floating pond weeds such as duckweed, which looks like lots of very tiny oval leaves floating on the water’s surface, can be a real nightmare too. It builds up very rapidly as a bright green surface layer and the best control is to regularly scrape the weed off using a good-sized kitchen sieve. Again it can be composted, but make sure you remove all of it or it will soon be back. Try to avoid the build-up of algae by creating your pond carefully and taking precautions with what you grow and keep in it. Avoid a

very sunny position, as lots of sunlight increases the algal growth. Bear in mind, however, that a pond close to trees will become clogged by leaves in autumn! Make sure that the pond is as deep as possible, as algal growth is much more likely in shallow water, and avoid putting in too many fish as their excreta raises the water’s nitrogen level, which encourages algae. Surface floating plants, particularly water lilies, will help to shade the water’s surface - ideal if the pond is in a fairly sunny site. You should also include a selection of oxygenating plants, available from your local garden centre or pond plant supplier. Some of these float in bundles in the water, others can be grown in containers, and all of them help raise the oxygen level in the pond and so decrease the algae problem. A spout or fountain will also oxygenate the water, but note that water lilies do not like water that is in motion. Note that if you keep changing the water in an attempt to keep it clear, the pond never gets the chances to create its own natural balance and the situation will not improve. Be patient and usually, provided

you try all the above, the pond will eventually sort itself out and clear water will return. You can use proprietary physical and chemical controls for algae, but make sure that whatever you choose is suitable and can be used safely around wildlife and your pond fish. Using barley straw to clear algae in ponds does work, but it is essential that the straw is from barley and no other cereal crop. If you can get hold of this, cram some into an old pair of tights and submerge in the water by weighing them down with several bricks. Alternatively, buy pads of barley straw (sometimes mixed with lavender stalks), and these will help do the job for you.

Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing at The Roses Theatre

MuchAdo Productions & Tewkesbury Arts & Drama Society Present William Shakespeare’s

Friday 18th August, 7.30pm & Saturday 19th August, 2.30pm and 7.30pm Created by Muchado Productions and Tewkesbury Arts & Drama Society, this production is going to be a thoroughly entertaining and accessible piece of Shakespeare. The original language has been maintained, but the story has been transported into the 1980s, complete with punks, new romantics, nods to blockbuster movies, and excerpts from a variety of 80's hits. The war is over and the 80s are in full swing. Duke Leonato is visited by Prince Pedro and his wingmen Benedick and Claudio. Claudio falls in love with the Duke’s daughter Hero and their marriage is agreed. Meanwhile, the Prince's punkish illegitimate sister contrives a malicious plot: Claudio is misled into thinking that he has witnessed Hero in a compromising situation on the night before their wedding...

Much Ado About NothiNg The Roses, Tewkesbury Fri 18 Aug 7.30pm • Sat 19 Aug 2.30pm & 7.30pm All tickets: £13.50

Will all be resolved in amongst the unfolding turmoil of 80's pop music?!

Finance

By Ann Haldon

Using credit and debit cards abroad this year? What you should know before you go

Spending money abroad can be costlier than you think if you’re not prepared for the fees and ‘hidden’ charges. Whether you choose to take a debit or credit card, it pays to check the small print in your terms and conditions before you go - you could save a considerable amount in added interest and charges. Specialist credit and debit cards for overseas use only Rather than taking your ‘regular’ credit or debit card on holiday, look for specialist cards designed to be used abroad, as these are intended to reduce the cost of holiday spending. If you find one that’s suitable and your application is successful, however, just make sure you pay off the balance in full every month. The interest rates on these cards are extremely high if you don’t, which could wipe out any savings you’ve made. The best overseas credit cards generally offer much better exchange rates than local retailers. So if you use a credit card and you’re asked which currency you want pay in, choose the local currency as it’s likely to save you money – more on Dynamic Currency Conversion below. Credit cards for holiday spending are generally easier

to obtain than debit cards If your current bank doesn’t offer a specialist debit card for use abroad, you may have to switch your bank account to obtain one. Alternatively, you could just open a new account with the provider, but this might seem a little unnecessary when there is an easier alternative in credit cards. Be careful when you apply for a new card though - your credit file is adversely affected when applications are refused. The Money Saving Expert website offers an ‘eligibility calculator’ to give you an idea of your chances of acceptance, and help you narrow down the choices. Debit cards can be better if you’re going to withdraw mainly cash Although taking a dedicated credit card for use abroad has many benefits, if you intend to withdraw mainly cash, a specialist debit card will probably be cheaper overall as there are usually no added charges or fees for this. Be careful about card ‘cloning’ When you use a card abroad, or anywhere in fact, be aware of the danger of cloning. This can happen when the card is taken out of your sight, or even when it’s right in front of you if you aren’t taking notice. Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) Some retailers abroad will offer to convert your purchase into sterling when you pay by

card, so you can see exactly how much you’ve spent. This process is called dynamic currency conversion, or cardholder preferred currency. The problem is that you’ll probably lose out on the exchange rate by paying this way. Local retailers choose whether or not to offer this service, and in some cases may automatically convert your purchase to sterling without asking you. It’s a good idea, therefore, to check whether DCC has been used prior to signing a payment slip or entering your PIN. Avoiding the non-sterling transaction fee Although your bank uses the MasterCard, Visa and Amex optimum exchange rates, the charge for conversion adds a non-sterling transaction fee of up to 3% to your bill when you use a non-specialist card abroad. Finding the best card may take a little research, but your time and effort will be repaid via the extra holiday treats you’ll be able to enjoy. www.moneysavingexpert.com/ travel/travel-credit-cards www.moneysavingexpert. com/shopping/section75-protectyour-purchases www.moneysupermarket.com/ travel-money/using-credit-cardsabroad/ creditcards.moneysavingexpert. com/?travel&_ga=2.1383768 16.1530821389.1495096415200857501.1494082078 www.creditnet.com/Library/ Credit_Card_FAQ/How_do_ credit_cards_get_cloned. ccfaq_019.php

Home & Interiors Eco Chic at Home

Being an eco-warrior doesn’t have to be a battle. With a little thought and effort, you can decorate your home beautifully without harming the planet. Can ‘going green’ ever be stylish? Of course! While you might start with some basics, such as switching to LED light bulbs, insulating your loft or lagging your boiler, the end of your journey could be a chic, sophisticated home that’s filled with furnishings that are natural, sustainable and durable – in other words, minimising harm to the planet. From floors to ceilings, fabrics to accessories, small changes in your choices can create big eco-transformations. First, think about your priorities in terms of ways to help the environment. Should you aim to be low carbon, non-toxic or energy efficient? Renewable, fair trade, locally sourced, organic or simply ‘natural’? The answer is not always obvious but some simple research will help you weigh up your options.

By Katherine Sorrell

Look for labels, such as FSC to show timber has been responsibly sourced, or Goodweave that tells you a rug has not been woven by a child. Ask where things come from, what they contain, how they have been made. Buy from a specialist retailer with green credentials, look out for reclaimed, recycled or upcycled products, or buy antique or vintage pieces – they are often well made, good-looking and are certainly long-lasting; many would argue that they are the greenest of all, being the ultimate in recycling. Try to think less about what you think you need, and ask instead what you really don’t need. The three rules of green living are: reduce what you use; reuse what you can; and recycle as much as possible. So, rather than getting rid of things carelessly, consider how you could adapt them and give them another life. Perhaps you could re-cover an old sofa instead of buying a new one, clad the top of an old table with a thin sheet of marble, or repaint a kitchen chair, for example. When you do buy new, you may want to support local artisans or businesses (reducing your

carbon footprint in terms of import miles, too), or fair trade, co-operative or social initiatives overseas, which ensure fair pay and conditions for their workers. It is worth investigating eco choices for virtually everything around the house – from natural floorings such as sisal, cork, Marmoleum or wool carpets, to alternatives to cotton (which uses huge amounts of fresh water and pesticides) such as linen, hemp and alpaca. How much environmental harm does a product cause during production, and what toxins does it contain? Chemicals in paint, fabrics, synthetic carpets, plywood furniture and other man-made materials may ‘off gas’ for years, doing no one much good – another excellent reason to check the labelling. Lastly, bear in mind the beauty of natural materials, from oak and slate to bamboo and linen, in terms of both colour and texture. Subtle shades of browns, greys and off-whites, and tactile appeal that ranges from super-soft to satisfyingly knobbly – everything works together without your having to try too hard, and they will age gracefully, too, adding gentle good looks to your home for a long time to come.

Hospice launches appeal to refurbish county’s only inpatient unit A local hospice has launched a special appeal to help refurbish its specialist inpatient unit – the only one in the county providing specialist around the clock care for people across Gloucestershire with a life limiting condition. Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice based just outside Cheltenham has 16 beds giving expert hospice care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year for people in the county living with cancer, lung disease, heart failure and neurological conditions. It is the only specialist unit providing palliative care for people from every corner of the county – from Gloucester to Cheltenham, from Stroud to Cirencester and from Tewkesbury to the Forest of Dean - and it is housed in a Grade II listed Cotswold manor house first purchased by Lady Ryder 40 years ago this year. To continue providing its specialist care in a home from home environment which meets the care standards of today the charity

has an urgent need to invest in refurbishing the unit, but it estimates this could cost £110,000. That’s why the hospice has launched ‘The Big 40’ appeal to raise the funds needed for the work, without diverting existing funds away from the specialist care its team of doctors, nurses, specialists and volunteers provide. Elise Hoadley is Hospice Director at Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice. She said, “It was 40 years ago this year that Lady Ryder and a team of fundraisers, local businesses and volunteers from every corner of the county started their mammoth task of rebuilding and refurbishing the old manor house with the vision of creating a special place to provide compassionate care to people in the county. “That vision remains and as custodians of the wonderful legacy left by all those who were here at the very start, we have a duty to make sure we maintain this wonderful building in a way that retains its character whilst creating a bright and welcoming home from home for our patients and families.” “Refurbishing the unit by replacing flooring, completely redecorating, adding new electric points and

new bedside TVs and installing new hand washing facilities will mean we can continue providing a warm and welcoming place for Gloucestershire residents to come and receive our specialist care.” Mike Tague, Head of Hospice Fundraising at Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice added, "There are many ways people can support us in our Big 40 appeal, by making a donation or arranging a fundraising event to help raise funds towards our refurbishment plans - from coffee mornings to bake sales to sponsored events. £50 could install new electrical sockets with shaver points in a patient's bedroom, £200 could pay for a new bedside TV or £300 could completely redecorate one of our patient rooms making a difference to the welcoming environment we offer to those we care for." For more information on the appeal and to donate visit www.sueryder. org/leckhamptonbig40, email leckhampton.fundraising@sueryder. org or call 01242 246285. Any funds raised over and above the estimated cost of refurbishment will be used to fund existing projects or running costs at the hospice.

Club Team Championships 2017 The 2017 Gloucestershire County Golf Partnership Club Team Championships took place on Sunday 25th June at Cleeve Cloud Golf Club. It is a mixed competition into which Gloucestershire golf clubs can enter a team. Each team consists of two men and two ladies and the total of each team’s handicaps must be between 50 and 96.

Ian Watkins (Chairman, Gloucestershire Golf Partnership), Hugh Fitzsimons, Rita New, Barbara Smyth, Trevor Martin and Sue Rawles (Vice President GLCGA)

It was played in testing winds but it stayed dry. "It was a little windy up on the hill but the views were spectacular," commented one player. With the promise of a Sunday roast on their return, 9 teams took to the hills, however, whilst they were out at play a power cut took place in the clubhouse and surrounding houses. Undeterred by the inconvenience, the kitchen staff

under leadership from Margaret put on a splendid array of salads for the players instead and saved the day. The home team of Hugh Fitzsimons, Rita New, Trevor Martin and Barbara Smyth took the honours with 83 points followed closely by the Broadway team of Barry Folkes, Louise Folkes, Ben Beacham and Irene Hawkes with 81 points. This is the second year this competition has taken place and the winners will go on to the England Golf Team Championships taking place during Golf Week at Woodhall Spa in August. - by Rita New Cleeve Cloud Lady Captain 2017

Gloucestershire Hospice reveals new sponsor Kind-hearted staff at Capita in Bishop's Cleeve are helping a local hospice charity to shine as the main sponsor of its Starlight Hike fundraiser this year. The firm will support Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court’s flagship fundraising event on 21st October as headline sponsor. It will also enter a team of participants in the walk and provide volunteers to help marshal the event. Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice’s annual 10km Starlight Hike attracts hundreds of supporters from right across the county. Capita’s sponsorship will make sure the event raises as much money as possible to be invested directly into providing specialist hospice care at Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court, home to the only inpatient unit in Gloucestershire providing around the clock specialist palliative care. Nikki Moss, Customer Service Manager at Capita based in Bishop's Cleeve, Cheltenham said, “We run an active charity support programme and wanted to work with a local charity to give something back to the local community which we are part of. As the local hospice for

Gloucestershire, many of our staff hold Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice close to their hearts, having had friends or family cared for there. We knew it was the right thing to do to support the hospice in this way, making sure that the wonderful care can continue.” “Sponsoring Starlight Hike will help raise awareness of the amazing facilities offered at the hospice, whilst helping to address the increasing challenges faced in continuing to provide specialist care for local families in our community. We’ll invest our time, money and skills to support the event and we’re really excited about making it a real night to remember for all who take part.” Matt Reay is Events Fundraiser at Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice. He said, “We’re thrilled Capita have generously agreed to sponsor our event. Without their support, it would be very difficult to put on the Starlight Hike, which is our flagship fundraising event raising vital funds towards the £2 million target we must raise every year to continue providing our care." The event is the highlight of Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court’s fundraising calendar and it is hoped that it will raise more than £30,000 for local hospice care this year.

Thwarting the Hackers Winner of the HEATING INSTALLER FOR THE SOUTH WEST Award 2017

Reports of some big company being hacked and its users’ data compromised are almost daily news. It’s seems that it’s more a case of asking when a particular service will be hacked rather than if. That means taking precautions against the inevitable, the biggest one being to never, ever reuse the same password on more than one website. If you do, then if one website is hacked the baddies have the password for your other sites and services too. And while we’re at it, let’s make sure we don’t use easily guessable passwords either: the UK’s favourite password is currently 12345678. If you need to create strong passwords you’ll never remember, an online service such as 1Password or LastPass will do the remembering for you. Apple’s Safari can do the same on Macs, iPhones and iPads, although many third-party password services are available too.

Cream Of Pea & Herb Soup Serves 4

Ready in 45 minutes, plus cooling

This light and creamy summery soup tastes delicious hot or cold. To serve cold, leave the soup to cool then chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours before serving. Top with a dollop of crème fraiche and serve with crusty bread, if liked. Melt the butter in a large deep pan. Add the leek and potato and cook over a medium heat for 10 minutes until beginning to soften.

Ingredients: •

25g butter

•

1 leek, trimmed and chopped

•

1 potato, peeled and diced

•

1 litre vegetable stock

•

400g fresh podded peas

•

Few fresh mint leaves

•

Few fresh dill sprigs, plus extra to garnish

•

Pinch of sugar

•

100ml double cream

•

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Pour in the stock and bring to the boil, then simmer for 10-15 minutes until the potato is tender. Add nearly all the peas (reserve a few for garnish), mint, dill and sugar and simmer for a further 4-5 minutes. Cool the soup for 10 minutes then puree until almost smooth with a stick blender or in batches in a food processor. Return the pureed mixture to the pan and heat through gently. Stir in the cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

TIP

If fresh peas are unavailable use the same quantity of frozen peas instead.

Ladle into four warmed bowls and serve garnished with the reserved peas and dill sprigs.

Great British Bake Off stars cook up a treat at Redrow’s Wendlescliffe development Louise said: “I feel it is important Stars of last year’s Great British Bake Off Val and Louise were back in the kitchen at the end of July in an exciting afternoon of cookery at Redrow’s Wendlescliffe development in Bishop’s Cleeve.

The master baker made ‘quick and easy’ scones, decadent brownies, sweet summer fruit pastry with crème patisserie and ‘Friday Outrageous Pudding’ which notably caught viewers’ attention on the BBC show.

Val Stones and Louise Williams, whose expert skills in the kitchen were put to the test in the prestigious bake off tent in 2016, led a cooking demonstration from 12pm until 4pm for members of the public to watch and enjoy.

Val, who lives near Yeovil, said: “It was a fantastic opportunity to show our guests these wonderful recipes in the up close and personal environment of the Wendlescliffe kitchen”.

The event took place in one of the Wendlescliffe show homes, and gave spectators the opportunity to learn the bakers’ most treasured culinary hints and tips within the intimate environment of the beautifully designed Redrow kitchen. Val, 67, who left the show in week five’s challenging pastry week, baked an array of sweet delights.

Louise demonstrated a selection of savoury recipes inspired by her recent trip to Andalucia. The 46-year-old from Cardiff enjoys mixing interesting flavours with traditional techniques. Her demonstration included a Warqa pastry, a savoury bake filled with prawns, onions, pimento, garlic and chill, and Morrocan bread stuffed with seasonal vegetables and spices.

to show that baking can be done in a normal, household kitchen. “People tend to shy away from bread, but I hope I instilled some confidence. Baking is my bliss, and I relish the opportunity to pass on some hints and tips I have picked up over the years!” The Wendlescliffe development, which is located at one end of Bishop’s Cleeve and surrounded by open countryside, will be a combination of three and fourbedroom family homes with the first properties due to be completed for occupation in the Autumn. Work began on infrastructure at the 71-plot development in February, with completion expected by the middle of 2019. House prices start from £299,995, for a three-bedroom semidetached home with a single garage and driveway.
