Welcome to the April edition of your Tuffley Link. Spring has officially arrived! The clocks have now gone forward and so the evenings will start to get lighter, the weather a little warmer (fingers crossed) and we will all start to get out and about a bit more. It’s also time when we start to think about giving our homes a good Spring clean. Well we have plenty of businesses that can help you with that. We have Time for You on page 10, a cleaning company who can help with either regular or one off cleans around your home. Perhaps the exterior of your homes could do with a tidy up, we have Al’s Window Cleaning on pages 14 & 15 who can get your gutters and windows cleaned, and on our index on page 26, we have a list of garden maintenance and property maintenance companies who can help get your homes and gardens ready for Summer. With the weather changing, the Gloucester and Severnside Co-op Bowls club are currently recruiting new players for the season ahead, they have an open day in April so if you fancy popping along to find out more read about it on page 21. If you fancy doing something for charity this year, then local charity the James Hopkins Trust have their annual Golf Day in May and Linc are organising a 3 Counties Cycle Ride in June - more details on both of these can be found on pages 24 & 25.

Their Finest The year is 1940, Britain. With the nation devastated by the war, the British ministry turns to propaganda films to boost morale at home. Realizing their films could use "a woman's touch", the ministry hires Catrin Cole (Gemma Arterton) as a scriptwriter in charge of writing the female dialogue. Although her artist husband looks down on her job, Catrin's natural flair quickly gets her noticed by charming lead scriptwriter Buckley (Sam Claflin). Catrin and Buckley set out to make an epic feature film based on the Battle of Dunkirk starring pretentious fading movie star Ambrose Hilliard (Bill Nighy).

COMMUNITY SPEED AWARENESS CAMPAIGN IN GRANGE The problem of vehicles of every type exceeding the safe speed limits on the roads around the whole of this area has long been identified as an issue. The advice is that the most effective way to try and deal with this is for residents to take a lead in a road safety campaign. This is because locals know where and when speeding is taking place. Your City councillors have had discussions with Police Officers and using their advice have invited residents to help begin the process. Residents met recently with a Police Officer and your City councillors to discuss what would be required and to try out the laser speed gun . We were joined by Dave Norman as our Conservative candidate in the County Council election on May 4th. Dave has knowledge of Community Safety issues and if elected would be in a valuable position to support road safety initiatives in this area. The residents discussed how the group might operate and in what locations to act as a visible deterrent to speeding and gather data. A main purpose of collecting data on the speed of vehicles is to have evidence to give to the County Council with a view to finding other ways to deter speeding if necessary. If one serious accident can be prevented and a life saved somewhere on our roads then this campaign will be worthwhile. As has been explained this is about us as local people taking action about an issue which affects us all ! If you too feel strongly about this, and want to help, then contact Steve , Nigel or Dave for more information. Cllr Steve Morgan - Grange Ward. Steve Morgan can be reached on 01452 520534 or Steve.morgan@gloucester.gov.uk and Nigel Hanman on 01452 303566 or Nigel.hanman@gloucester.gov.uk
