Landlords must do more to stop waste menaces by Rebecca Day Landlords must take more responsibility when tenants fail to correctly dispose of their waste – and should be fined if problems persist. This is the call from residents in Shellard Road, Filton, who have grown frustrated with the amount of rubbish regularly mounting up in the street. Residents have taken to social media to express their frustration, saying that it is a house of multiple occupancy (HMO) causing the problem. A number of residents claim that they have been complaining to the council about the issue for over a year, but no action has been taken. Resident Karen Virgo said: “The residents in the road have been complaining to the council about the rubbish at this house for over a year now. The landlord doesn't care as he lives in Cambridge.” Another resident, Judy Dunne, commented: “That rubbish has been building up Turn to Page 4

'An inspiration' ... tributes flood in for Judith, swimming coach to so many by Rebecca Day Tributes have been pouring in for much-loved and respected Filton swimming coach Judith Bush, who sadly passed away last month. Described by many as kind, patient and supportive, and a “real inspiration”, Judith, 61, coached hundreds of children to swim during her 14 years at Filton Leisure Centre. Everyone who knew Judith has been left shocked and devastated by her sudden death on May 8. Sympathies have been paid to her family, husband Pete, sons George and William, and grandchildren Alfie and Sid. Colleagues at Filton Leisure Centre say that Judith will be sorely missed among the community, and have been collecting messages of condolences in a notebook from those she taught and knew. Over £200 has also being raised in her memory for Southmead Hospital's intensive care unit. Details on how to donate can be found at the bottom of this article. Leisure centre manager Scott Fessey described Judith as a “real character” and a “lynchpin” in the Filton community. He
said: “Judith was a well-loved and well respected swim teacher and friend, she will be truly missed by all. Our most heartfelt sympathies go out to her family during this time.” Deputy leisure manager Sam Scanlan, said: “I have worked with Judith for 10 years, Judith was always kind hearted and had a wealth of knowledge which she shared with all the younger teachers and staff. Judith will be missed by all the children she taught and everyone she worked with.” Leisure supervisor Jenny Dayus said: “Judith, I have known you for 26 years and will always hold our wonderful memories close.”

We started at Filton 14 years ago as swim co-ordinators, building the swim school to what it is now and she will always be missed.” Filton town clerk, Lesley Reuben, said: “It was a pleasure to work with Judith for the last 14 years. She was an inspiring swimming teacher who was loved and admired by the leisure centre and office staff and her students alike. “She worked tirelessly to build the swim school to what it is today, and can be proud of the legacy that she will leave behind her here at Filton.

Parents of children who were taught by Judith over the last 14 years have also taken to social media to share their heartfelt messages. Jayne Bakos said: “Judith, not only a great teacher but a very nice lady with a wicked sense of humour, thoughts with her family.” Elizabeth Clark wrote: “Fab teacher, I swear she is the only reason one of my sons can swim. It took him awhile and she had the patience of a saint. I don't know how she did it, really will be missed xxx.” Kirstie Barnes commented: “My children were very lucky to have been taught by Judith. My girls overcame so many obstacles whilst learning to swim and Judith was there every step of the way. It was a privilege and honour to have her in our lives xxxx.” Siobhan Chorley wrote: “Judith taught my son to swim. She had so much time and patience with him, most of all she believed in him. She was a truly lovely lady, we will miss her smile. Thoughts are with her family at this very sad time x.” Rachel Freeman commented: “What an amazing lady. She leaves us with some fantastic memories. As a parent on the side watching she had such a great sense of humour, throwing us quips as she taught and watched each child so carefully. I will never forget the day when she fell backwards in slow motion into the deep end, complete with her Birkenstocks floating on the water … luckily I had just managed to catch the blue folder! Once the shock had passed, she swam beautifully down to the shallow end chatting and laughing, reassuring us that she was fine. One amazing lady now swimming and floating through the clouds xxx.”

'We should fine residents who fail to From Page 1 for weeks. They seem to just chuck more out.” Filton resident Ken Hoare added: “Who do we really blame for letting this happen? The council for allowing a HMO, I know tenants should have respect to dispose of rubbish accordingly but the landlord should be held responsible for this and it happens again they should be fined by the council. This is totally unacceptable.” According to former Filton councillor Melanie Drewitt, there are “more HMOs than ever” in Filton. She said: “It shouldn’t be allowed. The landlords live miles away – trying to locate them is a minefield.” Resident Caroline Nicholas added: “It makes me mad when I see these rented out houses with rubbish all over the place. These
landlords or tenants should be fined. You would be if you were seen dropping a piece of litter on the floor. “The council should be doing more to regulate [these houses of multiple occupancy] and take action when landlords don't make sure they at least don't have rubbish all over the place it's a health hazard and eyesore nor fair on the other residents who keep their properties nice.” Currently, only large HMOs – those that have at least three stories, or five tenants – are required to meet certain standards and obligations, and require an HMO licence. However, a new law – expected to come into force this autumn – will allow the council to regulate all HMOs. It is hoped that this will prevent issues such as these arising, and will ensure landlords take more action.
Councillor Roger Hutchinson says that it could take up to 12 months for all landlords to register for the licence. He said: “[The new law] will not cure the problem as there will still be households that haven’t been told about the system or don’t understand it, so it is to be expected that
the council officers will remain available to give assistance when needed. “Once I was made aware of [the issue] I explained the circumstances to our council officers and they promised to visit to see the problem. “I was surprised that it has gone on for so long without it

Filtonvoice visited the property in question, however, a comment was not offered. According to a resident on social media, the tenants said it took them six months to get two of the recycling bags they needed from the council.

Parents and education campaigners seek funding reassurances during debate
Conservative candidate Jack Lopresti was urged to 'stand up for parents' during an education question time featuring candidates for the Filton and Bradley Stoke constituency, ahead of the General Election. It was organised by Fair Funding for all Schools South Glos and chaired by Dr Lisa Harrison of UWE. Mr Lopresti, who won the seat in 2010 and 2015, faced criticism for the outgoing Government's proposals for 'fair funding'. All candidates agreed that more funding had been given
for schools but that increases in students numbers and other costs meant head teachers faced a real-terms funding gap. Members of the audiences aid there was huge worry about teaching jobs, Special Educational Needs and teaching assistants. Staple Hill school governor Eric Mutch said his school had a deficit of £100,000 which would rise to £250,000 in three years and called for money to be saved from the Ofsted. Mr Lopresti was consistently booed when he argued that the Conservatives had put more
funding into schools, with audience members saying it did not reflect the need for schools. He said his party's manifesto at that stage had not been published. See all the parties' pledges in the panel opposite. A member of the NUT said that while the Conservatives had much to answer, the Lib Dems and Labour should not be 'holier than thou'. He said the Lib Dems had done nothing in coalition and Labour was responsible for the academies programme. Mr Lopresti, whose children were educated in South Glos
schools, said that when schools were run by Bristol City Coucnil, they were not a success. Naomi Rylatt, the Labour candidate, said schools were being hit by funding cuts which her party promised to stop. For the Lib Dems, Eva Fielding said there was real concern that vital extracurricular activities could also be a casualty of any cuts. Green Party candidate Dr Diana Warner said wider society was 'failing children in many ways' and that she had concerns about mental illness as a result.

Future of Methodist Church is secured CHURCH officials have now signed the contract for the sale of part of the building at St Andrew’s Methodist Church to Network Counselling. The sale early last month will give the church a more efficient set of premises and release funds to allow the refurbishment of the main worship area into a modern multipurpose space for church and community use. This is an exciting time for the St Andrew’s Church family who will be working together to provide an optimistic future for the church at the heart of the Filton. Network Counselling and Training will develop their part of the building in an imaginative way. Network is a well-established charity providing a service
to people who need to talk through their problems as well as training for people who want to help others in this way. Network will provide an important new facility for the Filton area. When the church held its Open Day last October the local MP and councillors dropped by and were enthusiastic about the

Senior dignitaries open state-of-the-art pitch at new £5.2million sports complex ONE of the sports pitches at a new £5.2million sports complex in nearby Lockleaze that are set to transform community activities in the area has been launched by senior dignitaries. Various community activities accompanied the launch with the local community getting a taste for what is to come as the project continues to progress. The RFU 6 Nations Trophy was also on show to mark the opening of such an important community project. Bristol & District Rugby Football Combination has joined forces with Bristol City Council to develop the new modern two-storey clubhouse and two all-weather pitches for rugby and football, replacing 1950s changing rooms and underutilised, out of date playing
fields. The funds for this £5.2m project have come from the sale for housing development of part of the Combinations land. University of the West of England have recently joined the project bringing further capital and they will use the facility for student sport mid-week. Work began at the end of
2016 on the council’s playing fields off Bonnington Walk, which is home to Bishopston RFC, and the adjacent fields owned by Bristol & District Rugby Football Combination, which are home to Ashley Down Old Boys RFC and Lockleaze Community Football Club.

Now it's recycling every week in Filton Filton households will be able to put all of their recycling containers out for collection every week with their food recycling bin instead of every two weeks. The changes begin on June 19. Black bins for non-recyclable waste and green bins for garden waste will continue to be emptied every fortnight. The council is introducing smaller black bins for nonrecyclable waste for the majority of households. The current black bins will be replaced later in the year. The old bins will be collected and sent for recycling. The changes are taking place to encourage more recycling with a simpler collection service and reducing the size of the black bins. Analysis of black bin waste has shown that over 50 per cent
could be recycled from home and the changes aim to maximise recycling from households to meet long term financial and environmental targets. For more information about the targets visit www.southglos.gov.uk/ wastestrategy Residents will still need to sort their recycling for collection but can choose to use their existing containers or green boxes instead of bags for plastics and cardboard. The weekly collections will mean there are fewer containers to store at home, whilst encouraging more people to use the service. Boxes will also be available for collection at the Sort It recycling centres between 5pm and 6pm every day from Monday 5 June to Friday 9 June at Station Road, Little Stoke, BS34 6HP.

The other good causes that benefitted from the pay-out were Baby Bank Network, and Upper Horfield Community Trust. Co-op spokesman Rufus Olins, said: “The Co-op has always been community focussed. The original Rochdale Pioneers were motivated by the need to improve the living conditions of those within their local community. “By listening to our members we are able to identify what communities care most about and then offer support that really makes a difference, and by working with and supporting local good causes great things are happening.”

Students shine at the Old Vic Twelve talented drama students from Abbeywood Community School worked alongside a Youth Theatre director from the Bristol Old Vic, Angela Athay-Hunt, to perform on the stage of the historic theatre in Bristol as part of a program aimed at schools. Several months of weekly workshops led to students making their final performance. After a long morning of runthroughs, technical and acting rehearsals and a tour of the theatre, the nerves were kicking in as family and friends from SIX other Bristol schools arrived to watch the performances. The play, devised by the students and led by Angela, was inspired by the theme of “Everything is Political”.
It was well received by a packed audience and Bristol Old Vic staff were very complimentary of the way the students conducted themselves during the day. Frank Clarke, Head of Drama, said: “I was really proud of their performance and to see our students perform with such confidence on the stage of the oldest working theatre in the country was fantastic. Well done to all of them and to Parents and Friends who supported our students.”

The town has eight schools (7 primary and 1 secondary), playing fields, local shops, community buildings and a variety of leisure services, including a large leisure centre and pool. The new Town Centre the WillowBrook Centre - is rapidly attracting new shops. Some 70,000 + local residents in the catchment visit the Centre each week. From bradleystoke.gov.uk

n BOOK REVIEW WITH FILTON LIBRARY The Gun, by Fuminori Nakamura Reviewed by a Filton Library user RETURNING home one night from a stroll along a Tokyo riverbank, a young man finds a dead body, and, next to it covered in blood - a handgun. He’s transfixed by its “breathtaking beauty”; he knows nothing about firearms (he describes the barrel as “the end where the bullets come out”), but something about the object fixates him, so he steals it. Day after day, the narrator’s obsession climbs through mere possessiveness into a sort of paranoid, altered state beyond, where the only thing that matters is the gun, and “caring for it” consumes more and more of his time and attention. Nakamura describes an internal landscape that isn’t so much sociopathic as completely alien: the protagonist is so detached from everything (except, of course, the gun) that you start to fret about your own emotional connection to the world. The narrator’s response to animals in pain, his friends, sexual partners and even his dying father is the same: a kind of affectless hyper-reality, a bit like being trapped inside an expensive car advert, all human feeling scrubbed out, all emotion sublimated to the desire for the sleek mechanical object. Late in the book, a stirring of pity toward the plight of his next-door neighbour - a small boy who (the narrator decides) is being abused by his mother - gives a glimmer that perhaps he is not damaged beyond hope; but his response to this situation only darkens matters further. Of course, this kind of thing cannot (perhaps, should not) end well; Chekhov’s maxim about the gun you see in Act One comes inevitably to mind. The end, when it comes, is appropriately nightmarish, much like the entire rest of this slim, disturbing book. Marketed as (and winner of several awards for) crime fiction, it has more in common with the metaphysical novels of Camus, albeit given a glossy noir sheen. A copy is available at Filton Library.

The fun's kicking off at spectacular football festival
WALLSCOURT Farm Academy put on a spectacular fun football festival for schools in their area. This included fun activities for all ages, and parents, carers and families were also invited to take part. The football festival, for children in Years 2 & 3 pupils, involved seven-a-side teams from St Michael’s, Begbrook Primary Academy, Frome Vale Academy and Wallscourt Farm Academy. The aim of the festival was for pupils to have a fun kick around with no pressure. It was not a tournament so there were no winners or losers. Organiser Kate Wiggan, Teaching Partner in Oak Learning Zone at Wallscourt, said: “I want children to enjoy their football, have a fun time and also give them the opportunity to take part whatever their level. I would also like to thank all parents who turned out
and supported this event.”

Group looks back on a successful year WITH its 2017 AGM due, the Splatts Abbey Wood Conservation Group has been looking back on another successful year. Over the year the woodland has run successful projects with the Forest of Avon Trust with various groups which has ensured that the woodland has both served and has been very well used by the community. The relationship with its sister woodland Sims Hill has continued to develop, and both woodlands have greatly benefitted from their relationship with UWE, the Students' Union and the student GreenSpace group. More photos of the recent community day organised by the Forest of Avon Trust at Splatts Abbey Wood and the UWE student workdays can also be found at the LSGM Facebook page too. The Splatts Abbey Wood Conservation Group is very keen to get more committee members for the group to help it develop
and continue its great work in the future. The woodland is beside the MoD and Cheswick Village. The Splatts group can be contacted via splattsabw@gmail.com

Vote Labour When I was a Councillor I spent a lot of my time talking to and listening to local people, hearing about their issues, worries and ideas. As an MP I will actively consult wherever possible and ensure that different views are listened to. The constituents of Filton and Bradley Stoke deserve an MP who will fully represent them, someone who will bring the heart of politics back to Filton and Bradley Stoke. After 7 years of Conservative government, we are in a dire situation. Our schools are woefully underfunded with many considering reducing teaching hours and cutting support staff, such as reading assistants, in order to make ends meet. Our NHS is at breaking point, our social care services have been cut to the bone and working families are set to be, on average, over ÂŁ1,400 worse off a year. Meanwhile, the Conservatives have handed out tax breaks to those at the top.
I'm a Trade Unionist, a working mum and I have been a local councillor. I care about what happens in parliament and how that affects my constituents.

Voters in Filton and Bradley Stoke will go to the polls on June 8 candidates to outline why they think they deserve the chance to
Eva Fielding Liberal Democrats
Jack Lopresti Conservatives
A Great Deal or No Deal is what I will offer you. The West of England is a net contributor of taxes to the Treasury, and Filton & Bradley Stoke residents are well aware of that. Products made here are consumed the world over and the innovation in advanced engineering with companies such as Airbus, Rolls-Royce and GKN and their supply-chains places Filton & Bradley Stoke at the leading edge of aerospace technology development. Sadly the jobs at all of these great companies could be at risk if the Deal brought back from Brussels just isn’t good enough. Liberal Democrats are offering the voters of Filton & Bradley Stoke a chance to reject the deal we are presented with from the EU if it’s not good enough. If it’s a great Deal then we’ve all won, but if our economy, health or freedoms are at risk then we need to decide whether we should accept the Deal and leave the EU or to refuse the Deal and renegotiate to Remain in the EU on better terms. We need to urgently address the desperate shortage of skilled builders needed to produce the housing we need and I will also tirelessly campaign for fairer funding in our schools, rail electrification and the scrapping of the Severn Bridge tolls.
I was born in Southmead Hospital in August 1969. I have lived and worked in the Bristol and South Gloucestershire area all my life. On leaving school, I worked in my father's ice cream and catering business. I then worked in the financial services and residential property sectors. I served with 29 Commando RA as a mobilized reservist for a year and was deployed to Helmand Province in Afghanistan on Operation Herrick 9 in the Autumn/Winter of 2008-9. Defence of the Realm is the most important duty of any Government and it will remain my highest priority. As a veteran I will continue to represent and work for veteran’s interests. If fortunate enough to be re-elected I will continue to work to ensure that Filton & Bradley Stoke remains at the heart of Britain’s Defence industry and a global hub. If a Conservative Government is elected I will fully support Theresa May as Prime Minister to achieve the best possible deal on BREXIT. I will to strive to secure more new jobs and apprenticeships. We desperately need to build more homes and we need to continue to improve local infrastructure. I will passionately support our vital public services such as the NHS and Education.

Naomi Rylatt Labour
Dr Diana Warner Green Party
When I was a Councillor I spent a lot of my time talking and listening to local people, hearing about their issues, worries and ideas. As an MP I will actively consult wherever possible and ensure that different views are listened to. The constituents of Filton and Bradley Stoke deserve an MP who will fully represent them, someone who will bring the heart of politics back to Filton and Bradley Stoke. After 7 years of Conservative government, we are in a dire situation. Our schools are woefully underfunded with many considering reducing teaching hours and cutting support staff. Our NHS is at breaking point, South Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group is underfunded and our social care services have been cut to the bone, Labour pledges to end health service privatisation and bring services into a secure, publicly-provided NHS. Labour will integrate the NHS and social care for older and disabled people. Working families are set to be, on average, over ÂŁ1,400 worse off a year. Meanwhile, the Conservatives have handed out tax breaks to those at the top. I'm a Trade Unionist, a working mum and I have been a local councillor. I care about what happens in parliament and how that affects my constituents.
I speak out for our NHS, for a fair deal for everyone, and for a healthy future for our young people. I stood as Green MP candidate here in the General Election in 2015 and gained 2,257 votes. I am a GP and live in Filton with two children aged 27 and 23. Our health service remains the best in the world in many ways. But it is broken up, underfunded and stretched to breaking point. I want everyone to have the ability to look after their own health and the health of their families. We need fully funded and thriving health and social care systems. We need fully funded, high quality education and learning opportunities from early years to older life. We need healthy, good quality food and housing, and clean air to breathe. We need to create a society that cares for everyone and that respects the environment. We also need to recognise that hard work and success are most valuable when they protect the environment and nourish others. This is the only safe way forward. We can achieve it together. I am willing to work with anyone who shares this vision.

Let's keep the burglars out this summer AS we head into summer I’d like to remind you about keeping your home secure. Remember that an open window can let in more than fresh air! It only takes a burglar a moment to walk away with your phone, handbag, wallet or car keys while you’re in the garden or another room. Always secure windows and doors if you’re not in the same room, and lock up and set the alarm at night as well as when you go out. Here are some good ideas to protect your property: • fit motion-sensing security lights around your property • keep tools locked up in a secure shed or garage • make sure garden furniture and wheelie bins can’t be moved to gain access to upstairs windows • hide your keys and handbag or
sentimental value • keep cash in the bank and high-value jewellery with a secure storage company, not at home
wallet safely out of sight • never leave keys in the back of the door or window • keep photographs and a description of items with
One of the best things you can do to help keep our community safe is join or set up a Neighbourhood Watch. Thieves will avoid areas where they know people will report suspicious incidents to us and look out for their neighbours. You can find out more on our website, www.avonandsomerset. police.uk, along with further home security advice. Remember, if you see someone acting suspiciously around a neighbour’s property, call the police straight away. If they’re obviously breaking in, ring 999. Otherwise, call the non-emergency number 101: our operators are on hand 24/7.
I’d also like to let you know we’ve relaunched our Safe Places service, with a new 24/7 number to help people with communication difficulties stay safe when they are out and about. Once registered, an individual can call the Safe Places number if they find themselves in a crisis situation, such as if they are lost, feel scared or upset and don’t know what to do, or if they have been a victim of crime. Register at www. avonandsomerset.police.uk/ safeplaces or by filling in a form at a police enquiry office. PC Matt Griffin

Smiles all round at Airbus' Air Smiles Day MORE than 30 young people enjoyed a very special Air Smiles Day at Bristol Airport recently, sponsored by Airbus. The Filton-based employer teamed up with leading UK aviation charity fly2help to run an action-packed, flight-themed day for young visitors and their families, hosted by the Bristol and Wessex Aeroplane Club. The guests, aged seven to 22, came from local groups of the British Heart Foundation, the Teenage Cancer Trust and the Young Carers Support Centre. The young people enjoyed a thrilling pleasure flight over Bristol and North Somerset bathed in spring sunshine, met Bristol Airport’s police team, local cadets and the highly trained police dogs, found out all about the airport’s fire engines, and took control of their own aircraft on board the flight simulator.

Tim wins poll to be named as region's first 'metro mayor' The new Mayor of the West of England, Tim Bowles, was officially sworn in to office last month at Engine Shed, Bristol. He said he was very proud to be elected as the very first West of England Mayor: He said: “This is an exciting time for our region as the West of England Combined Authority takes on new powers and funding from central Government.
“This means that as a region we can be much more ambitious - we can make decisions here in the West of England about things that affect our residents every day – decisions about homes, transport, skills for jobs and how we support business to ensure our economy continues to grow." Mr Bowles secured the mayorship after defeating Labour's Lesley Mansell after the pair topped the initial round of voting. He said he would work collaboratively and constructively
with his colleagues in the Combined Authority: Marvin Rees, Mayor of Bristol, Cllr Tim Warren, Leader of Bath & North East Somerset Council, and Cllr Matthew Riddle, Leader of South Gloucestershire Council. He said: “I know the three councils have worked together very successfully over many years – I want to build on that track record. Together we will make decisions about what is best for our region, cutting across the divides of council boundaries. “Whilst we appreciate that

North Somerset Council is not part of the Combined Authority at this stage, we will continue to work closely with them to ensure we can deliver economic growth for the wider region. “Over the coming weeks and months I’ll be going out and about to meet as many people as I can. I’ll be talking to businesses of all sizes, transport operators, our local colleges and universities and community groups, to talk about the challenges we face and how we can work together to benefit everyone.”
