There will be seating for 124 people and changes include a garden room extension leading onto a terrace, a dining space, a lounge area and a casual locals' bar. Following these night works, there will still be two lanes of traffic with no parking. Works to widen the carriageway and divert utilities will also happen during this time.

I really liked the parts that were focused on the womens secret script, which was taught from mother to daughter and gave women the change to put there sorrows and grief to paper, and no man was able to decipher this script. I was surprised to see this part of the book was based on a true language that was only written by women. The novel is set in medieval times but we never know the exact year.

Anna McMorrin, MP for Cardiff North, said: "I'm thrilled that a new operator has been recruited and the works to refurbish the Unicorn Inn to a high standard will be completed in late October - a little over a year after I called a meeting Heineken and Star Pubs alongside Julie Morgan MS to get a commitment to develop and invest in this fabulous building. This is a great win for the community of St Edeyrns and the local community. I very much look forward to visiting when open." If works are postponed, rescheduled dates will be notified by the placement of signs and letters to residents and businesses. The census collection is designed so that each group of postcodes should contain at least 100 people (50 in Scotland).
