There were a number of things happening this month. Apart from the ongoing housing construction on the Bymacks site and Chestal Court, Bristol House, the substantial but lately sorry looking building in Silver Street, at last had its window glass replaced and is beginning to look presentable again.

The Littlecombe site is continuing to change with the construction of a new junction from Kingshill Lane and the earthworks have been considerably built up in the area of the old foundry and the gasworks. In this part of the development there was also a surprise when an old "R.A. Lister & Co, Ltd" sign was uncovered when the undergrowth was cleared away.

At the begining of the month, an unusual visitor to the town, a helicopter from Stansted Airport, landed on the playing field of Dursley C of E Primary School, much to the surprise of the children.
