| Health conscious GP takes a stand - 12th March '10 |

A local doctor who had nowhere to store his bike while at work can now resume his healthy working lifestyle thanks to local councillor Sarah Bevan who successfully applied for two free cycle stands for the surgery.
Dr Andrew Nesbitt, who reluctantly did his visiting rounds by car but is a keen cyclist, was delighted at the news.
The Bristol based company Lifestyle UK has provided 2 stands free of charge for the surgery forecourt. Practice Manager Anne Davies approved the installation and design of the stands before handing over the project to Cllr
Bevan.
Cllr Bevan said:
'Anne was initially anxious about costs when I offered her the stands and sought her advice on where to install them, but I was able to reassure her that the stands were free, and local builder M D Building Services were working at the nearby school anyway, so I asked them whether they could pop round and bed the stands in since their working hours were already fully paid for. It's a win win situation for all concerned!'
Dr Nesbitt can now taste his own medicine for healthy living styles by doing his rounds using pedal power rather than petrol power.
