FROME police are urging Coleford residents to be on their guard after a series of petrol thefts.
The incidents have taken place over the past few weeks and occurred in the Highbury Street, Coleford.
Frome Neighbourhood Sergeant Rachel Clark said: "We are asking people to be on the look out for anything suspicious when it comes to their vehicles.
"They may notice their car has been tampered with in some way, if so please get in touch by calling 101."
Bath Cats and Dogs Home will be holding its annual Fun Day on bank holiday Monday, August 26, from 11am to 4pm.
There will be many attractions including demonstrations by the Cotswold Flyball Club, as well as Tractor Ted and Digger Den.
Rachel Jones, head of fundraising at the animal shelter, said: "This year the home is facing some tough challenges; an increased number of cruelty cases and unwanted pets as well as rising running costs.
"So, this year's annual Fun Day is a great opportunity to help raise vital funds to cover the £1.4 million needed each year to keep the centre open.
"We hope that people will come from near and far to meet our staff, as well as our furry and feathered residents."
A group of teenagers working towards their National Citizen Service award have organised a sponsored dog walk on Monday to raise funds for Bath Cats and Dogs Home and the Happy Landings animal shelter near Shepton Mallet.
The walk starts at 2pm from Radstock park and the teenagers, who are on a summer programme with Engage4Life, are hoping that people will go along and support their efforts.
They chose the animal charities after visiting Happy Landings after visiting the sanctuary and seeing the amount of work they do.
Dog owners wanting to take part in the event need to make a small donation.
Water will be available for walkers and dogs, as well as a range of cakes and savoury snacks.
Outstanding Radstock residents who have made a positive difference to the community are to be honoured by the town council.
The Making a Difference Award is set to acknowledge outstanding and long-term contributions made by individual citizens towards the wellbeing and benefit of the town.
Nominations can be submitted by relatives, friends and neighbours. The deadline for entries is Monday, September 23.
The initiative is the brainchild of Radstock town council chairwoman Lesley Mansell.
Miss Mansell said: "The council wishes to recognise the contribution residents make which often goes unnoticed as we want to show that their contribution is valued.
"We want to make this award annually and hope this will be the first for many years to come. "
The winner will be announced at a special ceremony due to be held in October when everyone nominated for an award will be invited to attend with the people who proposed them.
All those nominated will receive a certificate of recognition.
Chairman of the town council's working party for Celebrating Radstock, councillor Gael Doswell said: "We're very excited about the chance to reward Radstock citizens who have made our town a better place to live."
