South Glos has published a big set of proposals for new parking restrictions around the centre of Yate. Here is the total package. Have they got it right? What is missing?

The S Glos deadline for comment is 15th June.

Please note, that to comment officially, you need to do it by post, OR go to the website and look for ' Yate Various roads' then register with S Glos and then you can add your comments. Bureaucratic (don't blame us) but it really is important your comments count. If you can't get their official site to work properly, then the Focus Team and we will sort it out. .

You can see the whole package at southglos.gov.uk/consultations

Miss Millie's gets go ahead to open in Yate

Miss Millie's today got the green light from South Gloucestershire Licensing Committee to open in Yate until 1.30am 7 nights a week.

The Town Council  supported the principle, Chris Willmore on behalf of the Town Council told the Licensing Committee - we know residents have been looking forward to this.

But there is always a but - residents and the Town Council argued strongly against Miss Millie's proposed 1.30 am closing time. Everywhere else in town is shut by 12 on weekdays - even if they open later at weekends. So this extends the time people will finally disperse and go home by 1.5 hours.  It is likely to lead to other places deciding to open until 1.30am seven days a week. The Town Council and residents argued Miss Millie's should have the same closing times as other places in town.

Miss Millies will be in what was Hotcha on the corner of North Walk and North Parade.
