Local MP Welcomes Plans for youth Cafe and Cinema
in Yate
Northavon MP Steve Webb has welcomed
Council plans to
open a new youth cafe in Yate.
The café will be built on land next to Yate Leisure
Centre and will offer 11 to 18-year-olds a
place to meet their friends, watch films in a small cinema, enjoy music
nights and even do their homework.
Plans have gone on display at the
Leisure Centre and a planning application will be submitted to
South Gloucestershire Council in late October. It is hoped
that work will begin on building the cafe
in June 2010 and that it will open in
April 2011.
Commenting, Steve Webb said:
"We have been campaigning for this
for many years and I am delighted that the plans are finally nearing
fruition.
"Just as there is a pop-in cafe for
the over-50s, it is great that young people will have their own area for
socialising where they can feel safe."
