A special memorial is to be held for a skydiver from Gloucestershire who died during a jump in the French Alps.

David Reader, 25, who worked for an indoor skydiving company in Norway was tragically killed 10 days ago when his parachute failed to open.

His family has organised a private memorial in Newnham this weekend.

And the first home defeat for Rovers since 24 November 2015.

A woman mauled by two dogs at a boarding kennel in Cadbury Heath has returned home from hospital after having skin grafts on her legs.

Donna Croft said: "It's not even like they're my legs anymore. I'm an active person. I'm always out doing something. I just don't feel like the same person anymore."

South Gloucestershire Council is investigating the attack but the dogs' owner has refused to have the animals destroyed.

An octogenarian who wing walked for his 80th birthday described the experience as "fantastic", and said he "wouldn't have missed that for the world".

John Brown's son Peter said he was pleased his father had achieved his ambition, and granddaughter Hayley Lee added that she was really proud of him.

If Bristol Rovers win tonight, it'll be their 11th consecutive home victory, beating a record that has stood since 1935 (which they equalled by beating Oxford on Sunday).

If they lose, it'll be a first home defeat since 24 November 2015. 

And if they draw, well, they’d have extended their unbeaten home run to 17 games in all competitions.

A Swindon Town football fan is free to attend matches after a banning order against him was rejected by a magistrate.

Aaron Frayling - whose name was on a police database after admitting disorder three years ago - was stopped at Bristol Airport in June and told he couldn't travel to the Euro 2016 games in Paris with his friends to watch the matches in the Fan Zone. 

It took a magistrate at Chippenham Law Courts less than five minutes to dismiss the claim.

Amanda Jacks, from the Football Supporters Federation, said she believes police forces need to narrow down their targeting of people they want to stop.

A pub in Swindon is fundraising for the family of a man who died abroad.

Like many councils, Swindon Borough is grappling with how to deal with government spending cuts. By 2020, it expects at least 80% of its budget to be sucked up by the costs of social care for vulnerable adults and children.

And like many councils, it is trying to get the smaller Parish Councils - which don't have any restrictions on the amount they raise taxes by - to help out by taking over services like grass cutting, street cleaning, grounds maintenance, community centres, and even some libraries.

But Swindon is taking that idea a step further - setting up four brand new parish councils in areas where none previous existed, explicitly for the purpose of running these services.

One would cover the distinct area of West Swindon, two would cover vast areas vaguely described as 'Central Swindon', and one would encompass the South including Old Town and Wichelstowe.

The opposition parties and many of the town's resident associations are angry about it for two main reasons. Firstly, it opens the door to potentially considerable tax rises. Secondly, the feeling that these new parishes are being imposed on people who've never asked for them without getting any real say.

But the message from the Conservative administration is clear: funding cuts mean the status quo isn't an option, so either we get parishes to cut the grass in future, or the grass simply won't get cut.

He's done it!

John Brown, from Swindon, has celebrated his 80th birthday with a wing walk over the Cotswold countryside near Cirencester.

He strapped himself to the 1940's bi-plane partly to celebrate his milestone birthday, but also in memory of his wife Thelma who died a few years ago.

A cabinet decision's expected tonight over controversial plans to create four brand new parish councils around the central Swindon area.

The idea is that the new councils would take over services which could otherwise fall victim to government spending cuts.

BBC Wiltshire's political reporter Dan O'Brien is at tonight's Cabinet meeting (6pm) and you can follow his updates on Twitter (@DanOB1986).

It is a big margin of victory for Somerset against a solid Worcestershire side - who won the cup in 2007 - and keeps alive the dream of a first one-day-format competition title for Somerset since 1979.

Sri Lankan star Mahela Jayawardene is Somerset's hero today, reaching a century from just 99 balls to set up a terrific win.
