  • © Licensed to London News Pictures.  04/07/2017; Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, UK. A protest against the overnight closure of Weston General Hospital Accident and Emergency department is held before the Weston Area Health NHS Trust  Board meeting at Weston General Hospital which is to agree the temporary overnight closure of the Accident & Emergency department because of staffing levels, with no projected date given for a return to 24hr service. It was announced last month the A&E unit would be closing between 10pm and 8am from Tuesday 04 July, after a Care Quality Commission inspection raised concerns over the long-term sustainability of staffing levels. The decision has been made on patient safety grounds because the trust cannot provide enough specialist hospital doctors to safely staff the A&E department overnight. Patients arriving by ambulance will instead be taken to either the BRI or Southmead in Bristol, or Taunton’s Musgrove Park hospitals, and anyone who would otherwise turn up to the A&E department themselves is being urged to either try to get to Bristol or ring the NHS helpline on 111. Unison, the trade union representing health workers, said it was vital the NHS bosses running Weston’s hospital had a plan in place to reinstate the 24 hour service as soon as possible, so the temporary closure didn’t become permanent. Unison says the closure comes from a staffing shortage that is the direct result of the government running down the NHS, and that on the week of the NHS' 69th birthday, they value this national treasure and the staff who keep it going more than ever. A hospital spokesman said they had no choice to close the unit after the CQC report rated the A&E department ‘inadequate’, and that A&E has been fragile for several years as a result of ongoing challenges around medical recruitment and a national shortage of A&E doctors which has made this position worse. They have become heavily reliant on locum and agency workers and the risk

Unison, the trade union representing health workers, said it was vital the NHS bosses running Weston’s hospital had a plan in place to reinstate the 24 hour service as soon as possible, so the temporary closure didn’t become permanent.

A hospital spokesman said they had no choice to close the unit after the CQC report rated the A&E department ‘inadequate’, and that A&E has been fragile for several years as a result of ongoing challenges around medical recruitment and a national shortage of A&E doctors which has made this position worse.

Bristol's elected Mayor MARVIN REES (middle behind banner) at the Save Our Post Offices campaign event at Bristol’s main post office which under threat of closure in The Galleries Shopping Centre. Members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) supported by Bristol Trades Union Council were joined by Bristol's elected Mayor Marvin Rees to campaign against the proposed closure. This is part of a national campaign day, Saturday 01 December, to save Crown Post Offices from closure. Bristol's main Post Office in The Galleries shopping centre is on the list of regional closures along with the main Post Offices in Bath and Gloucester, with services due to be transferred to post office counters in branches of WH Smiths under a franchise arrangement. And in Kingswood the post office which moved to WH Smith last year would transfer to be operated directly by WH Smiths with Post Office workers becoming Smiths’ employees. It is feared while fully trained Post Office counter staff should be moved across and retain their £12-an-hour salaries, any new staff would be employed by WHSmith at the minimum wage. The campaign has been launched by the CWU in response to the announcement that 74 Crown offices are to be franchised (privatised) to high-street retailer WH Smith – a move which will impact some 800 jobs and drastically cut services to communities.

Bristol's two strip clubs, Central Chambers and Urban Tiger, are under threat of closure as Bristol City Council's Licensing Committee meets on Monday 08 March to decide whether to go for a nil cap for sexual entertainment venues in the city. At least 100 jobs with mainly female workers depend on the two clubs which offer stage shows, pole dancing and lap dances. There have been no breaches of the club's licences or evidence of a rise in crime near the clubs. Public consultations showed the majority of respondents were happy for SEVs to operate in Bristol. Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees, Police and Crime Commissioner Sue Mountstevens, Bristol West MP Thangam Debbonaire and some womens' groups in Bristol oppose the licence renewals, but some councillors and other groups in the city including burlesque performers and LGBTQ+ campaigners support the clubs to continue, amid debates over the dancers rights to work, equality, feminism, objectifying women and sex related violence. The female owned clubs say the council wants to close a legal business in the middle of the Coronavirus pandemic for moralistic reasons in the name of feminism, while male strippers are not subject to the same regulation. Campaigners for the clubs say that banning strip clubs discriminates against women performers and LGBTQ+ customers and will drive the industry underground with no regulation and threaten the safety of women performers.

Bristol's two strip clubs, Central Chambers and Urban Tiger, are under threat of closure as Bristol City Council's Licensing Committee meets on Monday 08 March to decide whether to go for a nil cap for sexual entertainment venues in the city. At least 100 jobs with mainly female workers depend on the two clubs which offer stage shows, pole dancing and lap dances. There have been no breaches of the club's licences or evidence of a rise in crime near the clubs. Public consultations showed the majority of respondents were happy for SEVs to operate in Bristol. Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees, Police and Crime Commissioner Sue Mountstevens, Bristol West MP Thangam Debbonaire and some womens' groups in Bristol oppose the licence renewals, but some councillors and other groups in the city including burlesque performers and LGBTQ+ campaigners support the clubs to continue, amid debates over the dancers rights to work, equality, feminism, objectifying women and sex related violence. The female owned clubs say the council wants to close a legal business in the middle of the Coronavirus pandemic for moralistic reasons in the name of feminism, while male strippers are not subject to the same regulation. Campaigners for the clubs say that banning strip clubs discriminates against women performers and LGBTQ+ customers and will drive the industry underground with no regulation and threaten the safety of women performers.
