A community-led plan to redevelop the centre of Southmead has received the backing of the council and is set to receive £7m in funding.

A CALDICOT resident couldn’t believe his luck this week when he came across one of the rarer bird species to visit the region. A resident, who asked not to be named, said he became very inquisitive on Monday when a bird he’d never seen before landed in his garden. After posting photos on social media he was reliably informed by other residents of the town that the colourful and striking bird pecking around in his garden was a hoopoe – and he was correct to be confused by its visit. Hoopoes are usually found across Africa, Asia and Europe, and around this time of year would be expected in Spain or northern parts of Africa.
