Dursley News - June 2010
 

June saw continued work on the new paving around the market House, giving the area a much nicer feel, and making it far more suitable for holding markets and events or just resting on one of the new seats.

Elsewhere the one time Somerfield supermarket is being completely revamped in preparation for opening as an Iceland store. This should help to bring more shoppers to this end of the street. Also revamped is the swimming pool car park, which is now to the same standard as the one next to the new Sainsbury's supermarket.
