WILTSHIRE-based athlete Alice Wilson heads back to Yeovil on Saturday (May 1st) aiming to build upon her solid start to the new season. The 15-year-old Team Bath AC athlete from North Wraxhall, near Bradford-on-Avon, opened her summer campaign at the same Somerset venue last weekend tackling the javelin and the high jump. The latter event was hampered by technical issues largely due to the blustery and cold wind so her height of 1.46m was well below her lifetime best of 1.57m. But if the meeting was less about results than in just getting used to the competitive arena again after six months of solid training after the indoor season was cancelled.

Call for Kildare County Council to build more houses
Criticism
);
There was overwhelming support for a call for more houses to be built, at a recent Kildare County Council meeting.
And there was criticism of the Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) system, which provides financial assistance for households who qualify for social housing and who are trying to rent a home on the private market.
There are about 2,400 people receiving HAP within County Kildare but Cllr Noel Connolly said the only long term answer is for public housing to be built on publicly-owned land.
He said that HAP limits are too low to allow families or individuals to actually avail of much of the rented accommodation that is available in the county.
