Thanks for the survey
Thank you to everyone in Chipping Sodbury who responded to the Residents Survey when we were going round with Steve Webb MP this morning.
It was good to meet so many people and to find out about your views and concerns.

An end to the "cars for sale" nuisance at roundabout
After pressure from local councillors, the new waiting restriction at Rodford Way roundabout (3 hours in any 6 hour period at all times) will finally come into operation on 2 March. This will remove a traffic hazard and a nuisance for local residents and users of the Common.
South Glos originally suggested a 2 hour limit during the day only - this would not have been long enough for users of the Common, and there would still have been lots of cars for sale. Local councillors protested and got the limit changed.

Find out more about new Yate Health Centre - workshop and exhibition Wed Feb 11th
Yate's new community health centre is being built at the moment and should be ready by the autumn. It will provide outpatient appointments, hopefully a minor injuries service, X-rays and so forth, plus an integrated families' and children's advice and information centre.
The project team want to hear from people who have been helped by particular services so they can find out how best to meet their needs. There will mock-ups of the building and workshops on specific services.
Workshops will cover areas such as cardiology, diabetes, general surgery, audiology and respiratory conditions.
The event will be held in Chipping Sodbury Town Hall on Wednesday, February 11 from 2.30pm to 5pm and from 6pm to 8.30pm.
People interested in attending can phone 330 2408 to register.
For more details about the Health Centre please see this Evening Post article.
