Official notices show Thursdays as a common day for public business in the West of England

A cluster of official notices from councils, a police force and a hospital trust in the West of England shares a Thursday pattern.

The following Thursday, 24 September, Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the Gloucestershire Kidney Patients' Association are holding a renal information day [1], and Tewkesbury Borough Council is inviting businesses to its next Business Voice Network breakfast [16]. Avon & Somerset Police's missing-person appeal also relates to 17 September: George was last seen in Portishead at around 8.20 pm that evening [17].
