Funding plan for Bristol's Arena agreed
Bristol is a step closer to getting an indoor arena after councillors approved a funding package last night. The project, near Temple Meads station, would cost ninety one million pounds.

Bristol's long-awaited and much talked about indoor arena is expected to move a step closer to reality tonight, as plans go before the city council for approval.
