Reform UK topped poll in South Glos
WHAT a disgracefully biased article! (Metro Mayor election coverage, June Voice).
You did not hide your joy in reporting that Reform UK were “seen off” to a close second in the Mayoral election.
So not surprisingly you were not rejoicing in Reform UK’s big win in the South Gloucestershire share of the votes cast!
You would do well to remember who most of your readership comes from … South Gloucestershire!

Editor’s note: The headline on our report could have been more neutral. However, we did print the South Glos figures as well as the overall results and the article included a substantial quote from the Reform UK candidate.
Items of interest on every page
Just wanted to commend issue 103. I think it’s one of the best you’ve produced. Something of interest to me on every page.
Well done.

Welcoming Shield, our new neighbour
Readers may remember back in March 2024, I was the last customer out of Hanham Lidl when it closed for the last time. Following this, it was announced that local business Shield had purchased the site to support their new head office.
After months of work the new building had its grand opening on Friday May 23 with a party for employees and their friends and family.
Being there for the closure of Lidl, I was keen to be there for the reopening of the site under Shield.
I had the chance to meet Luke House, chairman of Shield, and get a photo in front of their fantastic Bristol wall mural – funnily enough in a very similar place to where I took that photo with the fantastic Lidl staff on the tills.
Luke remarked on the photo being ‘The last one out (me) and the first one in (him).
