"Fury at Local Burglary"
Many local residents have been left feeling panicked and distraught after the Portishead Mirage building was broken into last weekend. Three different appartments had their doors badly damaged and locks broken off as the culprit made their way into the homes. So far the items recorded to have been stolen are some very valuable belongings including one iPad, two laptops, and several other expensive appliances. One of the residents from these appartments came to us to explain her distress, "I have always felt so safe living where I live and this incident has made me doubt even my closest neighbours. The sooner this criminal is put behind bars, the better for everyone in our community.".
Improved security is said to be being placed at the entrances to the building but one man claims the damage has already been done. Most of the items that were stolen are said to have been insured, but it's the uncertainty of knowing the criminal is still out there that will haunt these residents insists one local resident. "I cannot put into words how devestating it is, knowing you cannot feel safe in your own home. I have lived here with my young daughter for five years now and never have I felt so worried for her or myself."

"See No Evil, See Stunning Art!"
Artists from all over the world came together recently to form a truly magical display of art on Nelson Street in Bristol. One local young man Daniel Gordon was lucky enough to be able to take part in this memorable event by painting his artwork on one of the grand scale buildings involved in the project! He and the other artists aimed to create an outdoor gallery of world standard pieces of art, put forward to inspire and excite the community of Bristol. It represents hundreds of elements of the designs and styles in the street art world and thousands of people came together to celebrate this phenomenon. We asked Daniel how it felt to take part, "I've never felt so proud and honoured to express myself through my street art as I did taking part in this project."

There have been reports of some local sports days and events being hosted in further celebration of the Olympics, and news will be released at a later date.
"Facebook Friends? Facebook Foes for One Local Girl"
Almost all young people these days will be proud owners of their own Facebook accounts, and most of the time we can recognise this as good, modern online friendship profiles. However this was not the case for one local girl, Jennifer Phillips. Bullies have targeted her for a number of months and have been making her life hell, writing explicit, hurtful comments on Jennifer's photos, status updates and much more. Jennifer's form tutor came forward and reported, "Jen hasn't appeared in school for weeks. The teachers and her friends have been getting extremely worried about her, this needs to stop before it's a comment too far." The bullies have been suspended from school and meetings with their parents have been arranged. Hopefully this will be the end of the misery this local girl has had to face.
