'Historic pub reopens' and 'dead fish in river'

Here's our weekly roundup of stories from across local websites in the West of England.

Avon Wildlilfe Trust reported on a "significant number" of dead fish floating along a large stretch of the River Banwell, close to the trust's Ebdon Farm site. It is not yet know what the cause is, but the charity said the Environment Agency, which is responsible for the river, had been informed.

Changes are being introduced at Burnham-on-Sea's minor injuries unit from 7 September to stabilise the service following a summer of unplanned closures. Staff from local GP practice, Symphony North Healthcare, will be drafted in to support the unit before running the service at the hospital from 5 October.

The owners of a 400-year-old pub near Bath has announced it will be reopening after spending almost a year closed, according to Somerset Live. The Old Crown Inn at Kelston shut its doors last November after the manager left the job for personal reasons.

The Swindon Advertiser reported on a psychologist who has developed a service offering tailored support to help young people in therapy to return to mainstream education. Dr Karl Mears says he wants to work with local schools in the area.

The racing community was mourning the loss of Galopin Des Champs, two-time Cheltenham Gold Cup winner. The owners of Cheltenham Racecourse posted a tribute to "one of the greatest stars of our sport".

The Swindon Advertiser featured the history of the town's fire engines from the Industrial Age, when Swindon started to grow rapidly and so did the need for organised firefighting.

The development of the service throughout the 20th Century and to the modern era can be explored further at the Science and Innovation Park, where many original engines are exhibited.
