I'm not sure about Chipping Sodbury - it is a much larger place and as the centre of the registration district, I think it has the potential to widen the scope enormously - I think it is a fine line here to then include all the other villages in the area - Yate, Westerleigh - even Marshfield is in the Reg District...I think there is benefit keeping it to the very local knowledge.
