Congratulations and well done to our Singing Club members who visited Emersons Green village hall this afternoon.
The group of 24 children who attended, sang a selection of Christmas songs and carols to members of the local community.
The group managed most of the songs without music and still sounded absolutely fantastic!
We look forward to our next events coming soon!
Well done Barley Close singers!
South Glos Council - Appeal for information about man approaching schoolchildren in South Gloucestershire
We have been advised by Avon and Somerset Police to ask parents and children to be aware of a number of incidents in South Gloucestershire where a man in a car has approached schoolchildren and offered them a lift.
The police are appealing for information about three incidents, on Wednesday December 10 at Redwick Road in Pilning at 7.30am, in Greenways Road in Yate at 12.45pm and in Thornbury Road, Thornbury at 4.15pm. In each case a man in a small blue hatchback stopped and asked the children if he could give them a lift.
It is important to stress that none of the children interacted with the suspect and the driver left the scene without committing a crime.
The police believe the three reports may possibly be linked, but at this stage do not think they are connected with similar reports in North Bristol.
They are taking the reports seriously and have increased police patrols in those areas around school start and end times, and have been liaising with schools and other partner agencies.
We and the police are asking parents and children to be aware, never to accept lifts with strangers, and to tell an adult or call police immediately should they be approached.
We would urge anyone with information on these incidents to contact police immediately on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be left anonymously.
We are really keen to hear your views on Barley Close, including the things we do well and what we can do to improve.
