A developer with the vision to take on the challenge of transforming Brimscombe Port in to a new waterside community is now being sought by Stroud District Council. The Council has approved the procurement of a development partner to redevelop the industrial site in Brimscombe, creating opportunities for employment and business, commercial activity, retail, community and leisure uses, public space, and the reinstatement of the canal basin which would include more than 150 new homes. Strategy and Resources Committee approved the move on Thursday, March 4, and Leader Doina Cornell said it was another significant step towards breathing new life in to the former industrial site which was once a thriving inland canal port more than 200 years ago but has become run down over the past several decades.

Two extraordinary medieval treasures - giving a remarkable insight into life in Norfolk hundreds of years ago - have been preserved for the people of the county.
The remarkable manuscripts from the 15th and 16th centuries, one of which includes delicate diagrams of the solar system and a fold-out world map, can be carefully conserved, following a funding boost.
They will then go on display when the Norwich Castle Keep transformation scheme is complete.
