00:00 So as ever it has been a very busy week in the City of Bristol, so Charlie can you tell

00:05 us what is our top story in the City this week?

00:08 So our top story this week is that teachers and support staff at a secondary school in

00:14 the City have announced that they are going to be striking for a further 23 days until

00:20 the end of this academic year. So it's the staff members at City Academy Bristol and

00:27 they've said they will be striking 2-3 days every week until the summer break. They say

00:35 it's over issues that they have over the way the school is managed and they've already

00:41 striked 6 days so far and the action has been arranged by the National Education Union.

00:48 We will see how that one pans out. Shall we move on to our second top story in the City

00:54 this week? Tell me about that.

00:57 Next is that hundreds of people have signed a new petition calling for a former running

01:03 track in South Bristol to be restored to its former glory. So campaigners want to see the

01:10 former Whitchurch Athletics track regenerated to provide what they're calling a much needed

01:18 space for physical activity in the City.

01:23 Thank you Charlie. So shall we move on to our final top story in the City this week?

01:27 Tell me about that.

01:28 Finally is that a well-known baker whose previous business closed earlier this year has opened

01:34 a new bakery in Kingswood. So Ben Fortune ran the Warmly Bakehouse for 6 years until

01:42 it went into liquidation due to rising flour and energy costs as well as mounting debts.

01:48 But Ben, who previously worked at Bordeaux Quay Restaurant and Bakery in the Harbourside,

01:54 has now launched a market bakehouse within the indoor market on Regent Street.
