MAJOR ROADWORKS ON THE RIDGE
Major roadworks could bring traffic delays on The Ridge for two years.
The work, which involves replacing century-old metal gas mains with plastic pipes, will be carried out in six phases stretching from the Conquest Hospital to Pine Avenue.
It is part of SGN's 30-year programme to replace old gas mains.
Each phase of the work will mean temporary traffic lights. The company says these will be manually operated to 'ensure traffic continues to flow on this sensitive route'.
However, it recommends motorists allow extra time for journeys while the lights are in operation.

ST MICHAEL'S HOSPICE
A weekend of singing with Big Sing and Raise Your Voice​
Join St Michael’s Hospice on Saturday 10th October, from 9.30am–9.30pm, for the much loved Big Sing. A day filled with live music celebrating the incredible talent of local choirs.
With performances running throughout the day, you can drop in for a few songs or stay for the whole event. Whether you’re stopping by during a busy Saturday or settling in for an entire day of harmony, you’ll be part of something uplifting and joyful.
Raise Your Voice
Start your Big Sing weekend early with Raise Your Voice on Friday 9th October, from 6pm–9pm. An energetic, inclusive evening designed to get you singing, laughing and celebrating together.
Expect fun choirs, plenty of chances to sing along, and a lively atmosphere that’s perfect for a Friday night out. There’ll be fizz, nibbles and feel‑good music to set the tone for the whole weekend.

Both events are completely free to attend. Pop along to celebrate singing, support your local choirs and your local hospice.
