In this week's Standard

Making headlines this week:

* COTSWOLDS schools have renewed their stranger danger campaign after two young boys in as many weeks were approached by men in cars.

The first incident, two weeks ago, happened in Cirencester, when a man driving a red hatch back tried to lure a nine-year-old boy into his car.

And on Sunday another nine-year-old boy was approached in Fairford by a man driving a red car.

Police, who have praised both boys for not getting into the car and for raising the alarm, admit the incidents are similar but are not connecting them at this time.

Meanwhile both boys' schools have written letters to parents and renewed the stranger danger message to children.

* Remember the charity put at risk of closure because Cotswold District Council wouldn't give it a £300 grant?

Well so many Standard readers were touched by the story that the group has since received donations of more than a thousand pounds!

Cirencester Access Group works with other agencies to ensure that disabled people can get access to public buildings.

Two weeks ago the Standard reported how Cotswold District Council had denied the group a £300 grant.

Since then Cirencester Rotary Club, racehorse trainer Norman Babbage and Cirencester resident Carl Williams have each donated £300 to the charity.

Age Concern, the Freemasons and The Smiths Charity have also made donations.

* The Standard's top ten of Cirencester telephone numbers is nearly complete.

Two weeks ago we told you how a reader approached us wanting to know who had the numbers one to ten when the town had a manual telephone exchange in the early days of telecommunication.

An appeal went out in the Standard's The Way We Were column, and thanks to our readers we now have the names of most of the individuals and businesses that had numbers one to ten.

Only one number - Cirencester 6 - remains a mystery.

The Standard, we have discovered, had two telephone lines - Cirencester 9 and Cirencester 10.
