Local councillors have welcomed the granting of planning permission for the new Yate Community Health Centre.

As well as replacing GP surgeries at the current West Walk building and Chipping Sodbury clinic, it will offer many outpatient facilities so that local people often won't not need to go to the major hospitals for tests and clinics.

Building is due to start in early 2008. The West Walk GP practice will move to a temporary building during the works.
