  Very sad that they want to close the ice rink. Do you think people would come to Yate to use the ice...

  It looks as though, no matter how many people sign the petition to save Bristol Ice Rink, it is still destined to be flats for University students who will never know what was there before them.

  Have any of you heard of or seen the Lake behind Coopers factory in Yate? When on my mission to find Yate's hidden secrets, on several occasions, a hidden lake came up in conversation. Hidden behind Coopers factory and a residential home is a lake that appears to be blocked from public access. Only those with access to the home or factory can see this hidden gem. I have several appeals for information regarding this lake. What I...

  I have finally been to see the new graffiti on the tattoo parlour near the Railway Hotel.
