What a month! July 2007 has been one of the wettest since records began and Dursley saw its fair share although nowhere near that of the scale seen further north in Tewkesbury and Gloucester. Some flooding did occur along Yellow Hundred, Ewelme Close and part of the new development on the old Bymacks site and water entered a few of the houses. The rain began in earnest on Friday 20th July and lasted for much of the following few days causing local rivers and stream to rise quickly and burst their banks.

The Dursley Town Festival took place over the week of 7th-14th July and fortunately the parade on the final day enjoyed a day of good weather with large crowds coming to watch the spectacle.

Work is now being carried out on the old swimming pool in Water Street which suffered a fire in January 2006. The roof has been taken off and progress seems to be being made on refurbishing the old building.
