With Lister's gone from the town, the old factory site looks empty and desolate. The hope is that when the new housing arrives, which it undoubtedly will, then at last there will be some new life in the area, though unfortunately not the manufacturing and employment base which it once was. The Priory is also empty, devoid of the Lister offices and awaiting a new life as separate apartments. At Cam & Dursley station, the site has been expanded to include more parking. It's a good sign that the station is being increasingly used, taking many commuters to Gloucester, Cheltenham, Bristol and further afield and to a lesser extent, bringing others to the local area. |
