Dursley News - April 2010
 

This month has seen the commencement of the long awaited re-paving around Dursley Market House which will improve accessibility as well as making it more pleasant to look at. It will hopefully discourage cars from entering the area from the Castle Street direction. Also being re-paved is the area outside Jacob's House and the Heritage Centre.

Rednock School underwent its official opening ceremony on 29th April with a large number of people in attendance. The ribbon cutting was performed by the youngest student currently at the school and the oldest ex pupil who started at the school's predecessor, Dursley Secondary School in 1927.
