The BBC’s Politics Show is going to be filming in Bradley Stoke next week and is looking for people with views on the town to chat with.

It’s local elections time again and the BBC wants to know what gets your goat.

We’re on the look out for people who really care who wins the elections on May 3rd.

What issues are affecting you? What questions would you ask a politician? What changes would you like the new Council to make?

If you’d please e-mail your views to david.harvey@bbc.co.uk

And please give him a daytime phone number so he can ring for a chat.

Don’t worry – nothing will be published on-air unless you want it to be!

Note: This is only open to the everyday people of Bradley Stoke.

Councillors and candidates need not apply.

The row over Bradley Stoke Community School is rumbling on - again.

More than 250 children were turned away after applying for�just 180 places in the September intake.

Now the Evening Post is reporting the Lib Dems are calling for an expansion of the school.

In February, we reported that the Conservatives were calling for an sixth form expansion.

But as the local council elections loom the Lib Dems have continued the argument saying there should be an increase on the 900 total pupil number.

The Labour and Conservative parties�says this goes against an all-party agreement not to expand because of the threat to neighbouring schools in Patchway and Filton.

Lib Dem Councillor Jon Williams, in a leaflet delivered to residents of the town, says: “It is outrageous that so many local children are being turned down for places at our local school.

“It is meant to be a community school, yet too many children from our community are being forced to go to schools outside Bradley Stoke.”

We’d love to think what you think about the row - should the school expand? Or do you think it needs a sixth form? Let us know. Fill in the form below.

If you’re looking for something to do with the kids over Easter then one option is the council-organised Easter Extravaganza.

Mums and Dads are invited to bring under fives along to hunt for eggs at the Brook Way Activity Centre with the help of the Easter Bunny.

Other activities include a contest to create the best Easter bonnet with a prize on offer for the winner.

There will also be hot cross buns, tea and coffee available for the grown ups.

It all takes place on Thursday, 5 April 2007 from 10.00am until 12.30pm at the Brook Way Activity Centre in Bradley Stoke.

If you’re looking for something to do this weekend then perhaps some laughs could be the solution at the Esporta Health Club.

The Comedy Club are in town on Friday, 30 March, with comedians such as Geoff Whiting and Noel Britten on the bill.

Geoff has worked with stars such as Dom Joly, Vic Reeves and Anne Robinson.

Noel is perhaps best known for his recommendation on the BBC’s Holiday programme for his comedy tours of his home city Bath.

Also on the bill is Nick Wilty who is well known for his globetrotting antics having performed on every continent except Antarctica.

Tickets for the event cost £15 from the hotline: 01179 749700.

*Yes, we know Esporta is over in the border in Stoke Gifford, but at least it’s in walking distance!

Children from Bowsland Green Primary School held their own Caribbean carnival, reports the Evening Post.

Teachers Michelle Spratt, Nicola Davies and Amy Jones were the brains behind the idea following a visit to Trinidad in 2006.

Children at the school made jewellery, head dresses, masks and food before holding the parade which went around the school and nearby streets.
