May 2008 saw very rapid progress on the new Rednock School when it seemed that something new appeared every day. The distinctive rounded ends to the main building are now easily visible and at this rate it will surely meet its target of being open for September 2009.

Elsewhere around town, further new buildings are also appearing on the site of the old workhouse in Boulton Lane and green space is reducing at a fast rate. Hopefully some will remain for recearational purposes.

On the old Bymacks site, the roads are being finished off and it is encouraging to see that one of them has taken the name "Pedersen Close" after the well-known bicycle inventor who had his factory in the Pin Mill close to this spot.
