October saw a number of new developments in Dursley, with new shops being opened and old establishments being refurbished. The Old Bell in Long Street has had a major facelft, as has the old garage in May Lane which will soon once again be used for servicing cars. There are new shops in Silver Street and Long Street which will hopefully prosper and in addition the Littlecombe site has seen a lot of progress on the new houses being built on the recently constructed terraced landscaping.
