Jo steps in to help Lego fans Emersons Green mum Jo Harris has devoted hours to running a trading site for children caught up in the Lego cards craze. PAGES 4 and 5 THE long-awaited play park in Lyde Green is set to open this month. South Gloucestershire Council has confirmed that the facility is almost ready, after a series of setbacks. It will have swings, slides, a roundabout, climbing frames
and other play equipment for children and toddlers. There is also a BMX track, which is likely to become a popular attraction for older children. A council spokesman told the Voice: “The play area at Lyde Green is expected to be open by the school summer holidays. The
developers have experienced a series of setbacks, but are now in the final stages of getting it ready for opening, including obtaining the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) check for safety.” Turn to Page 7
