Dear Neighbours, Welcome to the March edition of your Tuffley Link.

March is a time of year when we usually think of Spring, the warmer weather, daffodils in the garden, lambs in the fields and starting to venture outside a bit more. But as I write this and look out of the window, all I can see is the awful wet and windy weather. For the poor people who are suffering with the floods, Spring must seem like a million miles away. Lets hope that the weather starts to take a turn for the better soon.

Even if we don’t get to venture outside this month, March is always a time when we think about giving our homes a Spring Clean. Time for You on page 13, is a great local cleaning company that can help out with Spring Cleans or help you out on a more regular basis if required.

Once you’ve Spring Cleaned, this is the time of year when we quite often look at what modifications we are looking to make within our homes. What ever changes you are looking to make, we have plenty of property maintenance companies that can help with a variety of jobs, and a local painter and decorator, who can all be found on our index on page 18.

Later this month remember it’s Mothers Day. So if you are looking for a gift to make her feel appreciated, Plantation Florist on the back cover have some lovely Mothers Day Gifts.

Our Sudoku competition is back this month on page 15, enter and you could be in with a chance to win 2 tickets to the new Cineworld at the Quays.

Please feel free to email me your Sudoku entries if you so wish: sarah@thelinkdirectories.co.uk Have a great month Sarah.

FRIDAY 7TH MARCH 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE Greek general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) assembles his troops to fend off an invading Persian army led by the immortal Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and the vindictive Persian navy commander Artemisia (Eva Green) in this sequel to 300 based on the graphic novel Xerses by Frank Miller

GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL The Grand Budapest Hotel recounts the adventures of Gustave H. A legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars, and Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting and the battle for an enormous family fortune -- all against the back-drop of a suddenly and dramatically changing Continent. Starring Bill Murray, Ralph Fiennes, Saoirse Ronan, Tilda Swinton and Willem Dafoe

FRIDAY 14TH MARCH NEED FOR SPEED Walt Disney Pictures and DreamWorks Entertainment present this adaptation of the hit videogame series Need for Speed. Fresh from prison, a street racer who was framed by a wealthy business associate joins a cross country race with revenge in mind. His ex-partner, learning of the plan, places a massive bounty on his head as the race begins.

Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul heads up the starring cast that also includes Dominic Cooper, Imogen Poots, and Scott "Kid Cudi" Mescudi.

FRIDAY 21ST MARCH A LONG WAY DOWN New Year's Eve on the top of a London skyscraper. Martin (Pierce Brosnan) is literally on the edge. A once -beloved TV personality, he's now desperate to jump. But he's not alone. Single mother Maureen (Toni Collette), sassy teen Jess (Imogen Poots), and musician turned pizza-delivery boy JJ (Aaron Paul), have all turned up on the same roof with the same plan. Instead of jumping, these complete strangers make a pact to stay alive and stay together until Valentine's Day at least. Both funny and poignant, A Long Way Down follows this unlikely group of friends as they try to pull back from the brink.

STARRED UP Troubled teenager Eric (Jack O'Connell) is transferred to an adult prison, which only serves to amplify his explosive temper and violence behaviour. When he makes a weapon to use against the older inmates and is involved in a violent incident, Eric comes to the attention of Oliver, the resident prison counsellor.

Eric reluctantly agrees to take part in Oliver's therapy sessions. Concerned that Eric may need more assistance to navigate the prison's complex webs of alliances and aggressive racial prejudices, Neville (Ben Mendelsohn), a fellow inmate, is called upon to keep him in line. It turns out that Nev is Eric's father, whom he's only seen sporadically over the past 12 years, and who is one of the reasons for Eric's violent ways.

FRIDAY 28TH MARCH CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER Steve Rogers continues his journey as the super-powered American soldier who's grasping to find his place in a modern world after being frozen in ice since WWII with this Marvel Studios sequel. Chris Evans returns to star, with Samuel L.Jackson and Scarlett Johansson MUPPETS MOST WANTED The Muppets return in this Euro-set adventure that pits them against the dastardly Constantine, a dead ringer for Kermit who sparks a fun-filled caper for the gang. Ricky Gervais, Tina Fey, and Ty Burrell head up the human cast.

LABOUR DAY Depressed single mom Adele (Kate Winslet) and her son Henry offer a wounded, fearsome man a ride. As advertise call 01452 police search town for the escapedTo convict, the mother and son 890242 gradually learn his true story as their options become increasingly limited.

I'm delighted to have represented Grange Ward as City Councillor for the last 12 years, during which time I've been lucky enough to meet many of you and get involved in a very long list of projects to help our community, as well as having had the sheer privilege of serving as Sheriff of Gloucester in 2009. I would like to say a huge thank you to all of you that have supported me during this period and ask for your support again to vote for me in 2014 as I stand for the first time as an independent candidate.

Despite some confusion in a recent party newsletter regarding reasons as to why I will no longer stand as a candidate for that party, I want to strongly reiterate my 100% commitment and passion to serving the Grange Ward in which I have been a resident myself for over 40 years.

If successful I am very keen to continue my campaign to support our local community centre, having recently secured funding for new fencing to protect the centre and improve toilet facilities, as well as continuing to work on flood monitoring and improvements and ensuring better maintenance and provision of basic facilities such as street lighting.

I hope to meet many more of you in 2014 as we strive to make Grange Ward and even stronger community in which to live and work, and if I can be of any help to you in the meantime, please contact me as below.

Thank you once again for your support.
