Local skaters, scooters and BMX riders are set to benefit from a major refurbishment of Peg Hill Skate Park thanks to a £450,000 funding boost secured by Yate Town Council.
As the skate park reaches a 25 year milestone, this refurbishment will transform the facility into a modern, inclusive, and accessible space for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy, ensuring it meets the needs of the growing skate and wheeled-sports community, for many years to come.
Statistics from the Office of National Statistics show renters in South Gloucestershire are facing ongoing rises to their rent, making them some of the highest proportionally in the region.
With a trend of rising prices, local housebuilder Newland Homes is urging people to consider if buying a newbuild home could in fact save them money.
Alison Bowen, Sales Manager for Newland Homes, the company behind Engine Common’s development of zero carbon homes Great Oaks, explained: “With rental prices in South Gloucestershire now officially unaffordable, home ownership could be a way for people in the area to have more money in their pocket and security for their future."
