Post offices in towns and villages across South Gloucestershire have been thrown a lifeline following an announcement this week (Tuesday 16^th) in the House of Commons by local MP and pensions minister, Steve Webb. 

Residents from the Thornbury area spent Saturday afternoon debating the issue of climate change with visiting Cabinet Minister Edward Davey, the Lib Dem Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change. 

Thornbury & Yate MP Steve Webb has this week won a prestigious national award for his work as Minister of State for Pensions since 2010. The MP was voted ‘Minister of the Year’ by a panel of judges at the annual Spectator ‘Parliamentarian of the Year’ awards.

A campaign for a full transport strategy for Yate and the surrounding area has been launched by Steve Webb MP and local Liberal Democrat councillors.

Local charity, The Willow Tree Centre, celebrated its 10^thbirthday with a special event at Yate’s Armadillo Youth Café on Friday (7^th November).  The event was attended by staff and volunteers of the Centre, Patrons and Trustees of the charity as well as representatives of local councils, churches and voluntary groups and other supporters.
