Will it ever be a road?

As part of the development of Yate in the 1970s, it was planned to have a dual carriageway linking the roundabout to the main road and railway station. However, the idea didn't have the backing and the finances were found wanting - hence the roads were partially laid but never completed. Today they are a peaceful and popular walk. There has been recent talk of the council making the effort to complete the link, although many local residents have yet to be convinced.
