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.

Gates to the Common
Yate Common, with some hefty ironmongery to prevent unwanted vehicular access. This was to have been the end of a dual carriageway leading from the roundabout, but the plans and the money were found insufficient before work finished - hence it is a peaceful path.

Welcome to the Common Yate
Some handy information from South Gloucestershire Council. The area is on the edge of the expanse of the common and has some paths for travelling to the west of the town. See Image] for a look at the marker.

Fields in Trust
An elaborately carved marker, explaining that the common is designated as Fields in Trust, 2012. Hopefully it will remain so even if the proposed roads that were started but never finished are finally to be built here.
