2019 has already been a major year at Holby City as it continues to celebrate its 20th anniversary. Now, Paul Bradley (above) is amongst the latest set of classic characters confirmed to grace the hospital wards once again, returning to BBC One’s long-running drama series as Elliot Hope for its 1000th episode.

  • Tan twins storyline from 2008 to be revisited

Mapping Physical Activity in Edinburgh

Mapping Physical Activity in Edinburgh

We want to identify as many physical activity facilities & opportunities as possible all across Edinburgh and put them all on a clever online map and we need your help. 

How can you help? That’s easy. If you know about a group, club, activity, facility, etc. you think we should add to our map go to our online ‘SurveyMonkey’ page here and fill in our short questionnaire, it should only take about 5 minutes.

https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/7V8V2WN  

We’d be grateful if you would also pass this on to as many people as possible who might be able to help.

We don’t have a definitive deadline but if you could complete the 5 minute survey as soon as possible it would really help. We’re hoping to as much info as possible processed by the end of August.

Many Thanks

John Brennan
