Dursley News - September 2016
 

Dursley took centre stage this month as the prestigious Tour of Britain cycle race made its way into town along the Uley Road, then headed along Woodmancote and up Whiteway Hill, with the riders making short work of what is a struggle for most people.

In the town centre, Long Street has seen some changes, a new Chicken Peri Peri restaurant has opened in the premises vacated by the Dursley Tandoori and the Conservative Club is earmarked for a new Mexican restaurant.
