Muslims in Somerset say there is a need for a dedicated Islamic graveyard due to increases in the local Muslim population.

Meraz Aziz, from Taunton, said the "Muslim demography is growing" but the closest Muslim cemetery was an hour's drive away in Bristol.

He said they had met Somerset West and Taunton Council and would submit a planning application early next year.

Police are dealing with an incident in St George, Bristol which has led to a road being closed.

Avon and Somerset Police said Church Road was shut between Chalks Road and Sherbourne Street and would be "for some time".

A police spokeswoman said: "Shortly after 9.30pm last night we were called to Church Road, Bristol after a report of a collision between a car and a man in which the vehicle failed to stop.

"The man, aged in his 20s, suffered an arm injury and is currently in hospital receiving treatment.

"As part of our inquiry into the incident we’re investigating a report of a theft from a nearby shop.

"The road is currently closed while specialist officers examine the scene. Enquiries into the incident, including tracing and locating the driver of the vehicle, are ongoing."

First Bus said six of its routes were affected by the closure and shuttle buses were in place to take passengers to stops.

Lesley Lee Design also tweeted this picture from Church Road last night, showing an unmarked lorry blocking the road.It is not known if this is connected with the incident.

A yellow weather warning for rain has been made across large parts of the South West throughout this morning.

Drivers are being warned they may face spray and reduced visibility due to downpours.

Travel disruption and surface water flooding is possible up until about midday, said the Met Office.

A man from Bath has been reunited with the off-duty doctors who saved his life when his heart stopped beating.

John Savage, 56, a father of two, went into cardiac arrest while at his sports club on 13 October.

Bristol GP, Mark Byron, realised he had stopped breathing and performed CPR on him with help from Dr Richard Dixon.

"I survived because of the great response and treatment I received," said Mr Savage. "I'm incredibly lucky to be alive."

At a special visit to Bath Ambulance Station he said: "I felt my heart flutter and thought it was going to pass out."

Paramedic Ed Hill said: “As we arrived John had just received his third shock and had begun making a recovery, resulting in him talking to us.

“This was such a fantastic example of early CPR and defibrillation which deserves recognition.

“I can’t describe the emotion of reuniting the patient with his two young daughters after his dad had been clinically dead for five minutes.”

Mr Savage said he is "practically back to normal now".

"I'm not religious, but it's miraculous," he added.

Midsomer Norton Heritage Railway is on track to become one of the best in the country.

Trustees acquired the lease on the site in 1995 and in 2001 set out an ambitious vision to attract 20,000 people a year but fell well short, averaging just 4,000 annual visitors.

They have drawn up plans to secure significant investment they say will be a major boost for the town, but needed endorsement from councillors.

The outline application was met with “vehement” opposition from Westfield residents who feared Midsomer Norton’s gain would be their loss – but councillors approved it with little debate.

Speaking on behalf of Somerset and Dorset Railway Heritage Trust, Joseph Marchant told Bath and North East Somerset Council’s planning committee the site "needs significant investment and a long-term strategy".

Benches that were swept away in a flood from a pub overlooking the River Wye have washed up three weeks later - in Portishead.

Ye Old Ferrie Inn at Symonds Yat lost ten of its benches, but one of them - completely intact - has ended up on the shoreline here, 35 miles downstream.

The pub says it doesn't want it back, so it's been adopted by the locals.

Wild Zoological Park

A white stork that went missing from a wild birds flight show at a zoo in the Midlands, is heading home after being found in Somerset.

Daisy, who is only a few months old, flew more than 100 miles and ended up being captured safely at Ham Wall near Glastonbury.

She is being looked after by Secret World Wildlife rescue and is due to be transported back to join her siblings at the Wild Zoological Park in Stourbridge later.

Daisy, who was taking part in a bird show at the zoo when she took off, has a tracker but she was too far away from home for it to work.
