WHETHER you're from Yate, Thornbury, Chipping Sodbury, Dursley or Wotton-under-Edge today's hefty edition of the Gazette is not to be missed.

Read about the threatening buzzard that nose-dived into the back of a jogger's head when he stumbled too close to a nest.

Or how about the allotment holders fighting a battle to hold onto their historic site?

Do you like reading about local events? Check out our preview of the South Gloucestershire Show, set to be better than ever this year. Or take a look at how Dursley Festival went over the weekend. 

Check out a Yate author who is celebrating the success of her first book.

All this and more in this packed issue of the Gazette, from sport, features and events to crime, politics and community. 

At 80p is it worth passing up the offer? We don't think so. And we're not remotely biased.
