Free Support to be smoke free in Patchway
FREE support to be smokefree in Patchway
Want to quit smoking? Smokefree South Gloucestershire offer FREE support to any smokers aged 12+.
Smokers who use our services are up to 4 times more likely to quit successfully with our help.
We know that no two smokers are the same. You will have your own reasons for reaching for a cigarette and for wanting to stop. That is why we tailor our service to fit individual needs and lifestyles.To make life easier we provide free one-to-one and group support at a location near you. You can get stop smoking medications (e.g. Nicotine Replacement Therapy) on prescription.
Seeing an advisor does not commit you to quitting smoking immediately. One of our friendly, expert advisors will work with you to decide on a date to suit you.
Smokefree services in Patchway are available at:
JHoots Pharmacy, Rodway Road
Coniston Medical Practice, The Parade
And now there is a specialist advisor based at Coniston Community Centre too!
To find out more, you can call 01454 865502 or email smokefree@southglos.gov.uk.

Rodway Road Shops
With the development of Charlton Hayes in progress, the Town Council is very keen to promote Rodway Road shops as Patchway Town Centre and is working with the shop keepers to raise funds to improve the appearance of the shops and give the environment of the road a “face lift” to encourage more residents to use the facilities offered. We all know the expression “Use it or Lose it” and this certainly applies to Rodway Road.
There are so many positive features: the Post Office, new Library, Pharmacy, bargain shop, hairdressers, South Gloucestershire “One Stop Shop” for enquiries, as well as late-night supermarkets, take-aways and a restaurant.
South Gloucestershire Council has agreed to improve the parking facilities and mark out disabled parking spaces to help shoppers access the shops.
Can we ask all residents to make a point of supporting your local traders so they can continue to provide a service for the people of Patchway!

Police encourage reporting of abandoned car number plates
Avon and Somerset police want your help to try to track down stolen car number plates. Community Safety Inspector Gerry Treacy said:
“Thieves steal the number plates of law-abiding motorists and use them to try to avoid detection when committing other crimes.
“Since January 1 this year 48 plates have been reported stolen across the Avon and Somerset policing area – eight in South Gloucestershire.
“If you come across abandoned number plates, whether they are broken or even if they look like they have fallen off, give us a call on 101. We’ll ask for the registration details and when and where you found it.”
Neighbourhood teams have been helping local motorists prevent this sort of theft by holding special events at supermarkets and DIY stores, swapping standard number plate fittings with security screws.
Insp Treacy added: “It’s important to tell us if your number plates are stolen, otherwise if your registration details come up as part of our enquiries into a crime we could be knocking on your door.”
