What have been the big stories in the West this week?

A push for more buses to serve Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton has been blocked due to the hospital's helipad. The Somerset Bus Partnership had hoped to improve the frequency of its services, but the plan was halted by government regulations stipulating how often buses can operate near working helipads.

Gloucestershire Live reported on the number of rough sleepers being seen in shopping centres, car parks, churchyards and parks.

The future of Bristol's faded centre artwork, known as Our Common Ground, is still undecided. According to Bristol Live, the £61,000 painting fell into disrepair soon after it was installed in September because it was created with paint normally used for road markings, instead of more durable materials.

Somerset Live reported that plans are afoot for a home for Bath's new Fashion Museum. Bath and North East Somerset Council wants to turn the old post office building on the corner of New Bond Street and Broad Street into an iconic new venue.

Visitors to Gloucester Station can now step back in time thanks to a tiny new model railway installed in the station waiting room. It covers from the steam locomotive age of the 1880s through to the present day.

Bristol Live took a look at plans by businessman Johnny Palmer to build the city's "second most iconic structure" after the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

He has planning permission to mount a Boeing 727 on top of repurposed shipping containers in Brislington to host events such as raves.

Some residents said they welcomed "an innovative and quirky feature", but others said the new structure would be "out of place".
