Rogerstone Post Office reopens a year after it closed
The Thornbury Park Post Office on Ebenezer Drive, Rogerstone, will resume services on Friday, August 29, at 1pm. The branch shut down unexpectedly in June 2024 after the postmaster resigned, leaving residents without local post office services for more than a year. Under new management, the branch will offer a range of Post Office facilities to assist residents and businesses. Fiona Shanahan, area change manager, said: "We're delighted to restore Post Office services to Thornbury Park and are confident the local community will join us in celebrating this positive development. "We hope the branch will once again become a valued hub for local residents." The reopening aligns with the Post Office's principles of community engagement, ensuring transparent and community-focused communication. The Post Office is encouraging local community members, representatives, and organisations to spread the word about the reopening through social media, community noticeboards, local charities, GP surgeries, and other channels. The branch will operate seven days a week, from 7am to 9pm Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pm on Saturday, and 9am to 7pm on Sunday. Residents can contact the Post Office for more information or to provide feedback. This reopening marks a significant return of community services for the area, which have been absent for over a year. The Post Office hopes the branch will quickly re-establish itself as a vital hub within the community. For more details, visit or email comments@

Dear Coleen: My kids don't know I'm drowning in debt, beer and coke. What should I do?
I'm turning 50 this month and going away with all my family. Dear Coleen I watched the YouTube video with your son, talking about his recovery from drugs, and felt I had to contact you. I'm soon to turn 50 and struggling. I've always had drink and drug issues but they used to be a weekend binge thing. I have two wonderful children aged 25 and 30 and I'm single now. I was in an abusive relationship, then I met a man I thought was my true love. But I found out he was doing crack and he was jailed for robbery. This was 10 years ago.

Still, I was doing well and started a house cleaning business. Then I started drinking too much during Covid and last year I admitted to my daughter I thought I was an alcoholic. My son took me to AA, but I hated the meetings. Now I find myself drinking from the minute I wake up and doing a line of cocaine just to get myself to work. I don't want to tell my children, as they think I'm better. I'm turning 50 this month and going away with all my family, but I'm drowning in debt, beer and coke. Coleen says Acknowledging you have a problem is the first step to recovery and the next is to ask for professional help. Go to your GP and be honest about what you're taking and find out what the options are. There is help other than the 12-step AA programme, such as which uses CBT and motivational techniques. Just because one approach didn't work for you, doesn't mean another won't. What you mustn't do is go cold turkey, because it can be dangerous. You need expert guidance on withdrawing from alcohol. It's very tough if you're addicted to alcohol because it's so readily available and is part of the culture of people's lives. It takes strength to deal with that. As for your kids, you know you have to be transparent with them. You're not asking them to fix your problem – they can't. But honesty is important and you won't be letting them down by admitting you're still struggling. If they know the truth, they can support you. Also, they might already suspect, but are waiting for you to acknowledge it. Recovery is hard and scary, but you can do it if you're honest with yourself and reach out to the right people.

The colossal cost of feeding teens revealed as kids 'eating parents out of the house'
Teens are literally eating their parents out of the house, according to a new report. If you feel like your teens are always hungry, you're not alone. In fact, the absolutely staggering cost of feeding teenagers has been revealed by a new report from Asda, and apparently, it's even worse during the summer holidays. Asda surveyed 2,000 UK parents with school-age children, revealing that the cost of feeding teens was a shocking £22,932 per year. For house-holds with with kids aged 13-18, the big weekly supermarket food shop now adds up to £189 per week, according to findings. Surplus spending for two weekly 'top up' food shops at £64 each and two food deliveries averaging £42 each, as well as an additional £40 cash extracted from parents for snacks and lunches while out the house brings the total cost of feeding teenagers to £441 every week. An astounding 89 per cent of parents with teens say their kids are always hungry, with the new data revealing that a multipack of crisps lasts just four days in an average home. The research also revealed that a carton of milk being is finished within three days, and that a punnet of grapes lasts just two days in the average teen household. And with the kids home all summer long, three in 10 parents (29%) say that their weekly shop disappears twice as fast over the six-to-eight-week holiday. What's worse, it's not just our own children tucking in, but four in 10 (38%) of surveyed parents even say that their children's friends help themselves to food in their house when they come over - so much that 15 per cent encourage their kids to stay at other parents' houses so they can eat their food instead. But our teenagers can't be given all the blame for the colossal cost of feeding them, as it's no secret that budgets are already under pressure. According to the latest Asda Income Tracker, 40 per cent of UK households saw a drop in income in June 2025, which hit already-struggling families hardest, with weekly shortfalls of £74 between income and basic costs. Mum of two hungry boys Elizabeth Nichols, 40 from Bristol said: "It's only the start of the summer holidays and already the kids are eating me out of house and home. "It feels like I'm constantly topping up the fridge and cupboards. "Any parent of a teen will know, feeding them is like throwing food into a bottomless pit, especially when they're active like mine, constantly riding their bikes or kicking a ball around in the park. They are literally always hungry." Aurelia Blair, a 36 year-old mum of three teens, added: 'Summer holidays always mean a big increase in how much we're spending on food. "It feels like the fridge is emptying faster than we can fill it. I really welcome any help to make our shop go further.' A spokesperson for Asda added: 'We know families are feeling the pressure- especially during the school holidays when the pace (and the portions) pick up. That's why we're committed to helping parents stretch their budgets without compromising on quality." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
