Good evening. stories on the BBC News Channel

:00:10.:00:12.

A service has taken place in South Gloucestershire tonight to celebrate

:00:13.:00:15.

all the work carried out at Frenchay Hospital over the xears.

:00:16.:00:18.

It closed in May and most services have alre`dy

:00:19.:00:20.

Today was a chance to reflect on the extraordinary relationship

:00:21.:00:24.

For almost 100 years this vhllage has been defined by one thing, its

:00:25.:00:43.

hospital. This evening people were saying good five. Letting go of that

:00:44.:00:53.

way of life. `` goodbye. It was a sense of grief. That emptindss, that

:00:54.:00:58.

loss of life, everything ch`nged. That has helped us to come to terms

:00:59.:01:03.

with it. It has been a dailx part of life. These wards were built as a

:01:04.:01:08.

temporary measure to treat burns victims in the Second World War

:01:09.:01:13.

when it expanded massively. They are still here. But it is changhng. In

:01:14.:01:17.

the next six months behind these temporary barriers, buildings will

:01:18.:01:21.

be emptied, patients will bd transferred and we will be left with

:01:22.:01:26.

a building site. There is planning permission for 500 new homes here

:01:27.:01:29.

and a health centre. It will change the way that Frenchay looks and how

:01:30.:01:36.

it feels for local people. H cannot believe what I am seeing. I cannot

:01:37.:01:39.

believe that the place that I have known and loved and have bedn so

:01:40.:01:44.

involved in, it has been so busy and I have met so many people there I

:01:45.:01:50.

find myself wondering around and to me it is a site with 1000 f`ces of

:01:51.:01:54.

the people that I have met `nd friendships that will last for all

:01:55.:01:59.

time. It seems that everybody here has got a connection with the

:02:00.:02:03.

hospital. Former patients, fundraisers and nurses all gathered

:02:04.:02:08.

to remember. As for the futtre, the NHS said it had listened to local

:02:09.:02:11.

people about the development of this site. But Frenchay as a village

:02:12.:02:16.

needs to put itself on the lap all over again.

:02:17.:02:23.

Firefighters still working at the Averies Recycling Pl`nt

:02:24.:02:25.

in Swindon this weekend say they'll have to remain at the site

:02:26.:02:27.

1,000 tonnes of waste went tp in flames on Monday evening.

:02:28.:02:31.

Over the last few days, crews have been transporting

:02:32.:02:34.

extinguished rubbish to another site in Calne, to give them room to

:02:35.:02:37.

Athletes in the West have won 1 medals and the Commonwealth games.

:02:38.:02:49.

Five old, six silver and seven bronze from 2014. All the action was

:02:50.:02:56.

in the swimming pool. One of our swimmers has won almost a qtarter of

:02:57.:03:02.

the events. With three silvdrs and one bronze, she was already having a

:03:03.:03:08.

great Commonwealth games. At the 200 metres individual medley, it is her

:03:09.:03:12.

favourite race and gold was the only colour she really wanted. Known for

:03:13.:03:17.

her fast start, the 18`year`old was soon making waves. That continued,

:03:18.:03:22.

winning with a Commonwealth Games record and the fastest time of the

:03:23.:03:32.

year. Absolutely brilliant. I was coming into it and I had bedn
