Overgrown trees and re-opening public toilets

Here's our daily pick of stories from across local websites in the West of England, and interesting content from social media.

Work is starting this month to "revitalise" part of Bristol city centre - filling in the fountains and removing five trees which have outgrown their planters.

The toilets are back up and running in Cinderford and Coleford, bar "a small issue with the flush" in one of the disabled toilets. The blocks in Newent and Lydney are next in line for improvement work, says Forest of Dean District Council.

But St Margaret's Hall in Bradford-on-Avon is still closed following the floods in November. The local council says teams are trying to dry it out to see if the floor can be repaired, or if it will have to be totally replaced.

And National Trust has posted a timelapse of the team restoring a painting from Dyrham Park using reversible, resin-based paints.

Somerset Live reports on bare supermarket shelves after the Morrisons distribution centre in Bridgwater was blockaded by farmers. They were protesting about inheritance tax changes.

Swindon has been ranked as the worst place to live in the South West, in a list compiled by The Times looking at overall quality of life in each city and town. Cheltenham came out on top, and second across England.

And there is continued interest in the Cotswolds Designer Outlet as Gloucestershire Live names the first shops it'll house and announces a slightly amended opening date.
