  A woman who works in Wells has been told by the Home Office to change her first name - to what it is already.

  Mega-pub chain Wetherspoon could be coming to Wells. While Wetherspoon refused to say that they were ready to sign a deal on property in the city, Mendip District Council has said that an application from the pub giant to take over the Emporium building in Priory Road had been submitted. But the application has been sent back to Wetherspoon as it is incomplete. If the company manages to get permission for a pub in the...
