Dursley News - August 2015
 

It's currently holiday season so things have slowed down and there aren't too many developments this month. One thing that is now underway is the program of work to improve the sports facilities at the town's swimming pool. This will involve an extension to the building which will require demolition of the toilet block in Castle Street and consequently the area is fenced off prior to work starting. Elsewhere there is plenty of evidence of 'Dursley in Bloom' as tubs of very colourful flowers have appeared all over town making a very pleasant sight.
