Improving cycling locally

And finally...
The streets, hills, parks, docks and public places of Gloucester are set come alive with selected words, lyrics and poems penned by 30 residents of Gloucestershire, in a major new artwork from international artist Luke Jerram.
Among the locations being used for the Of Earth and Sky project are Plock Court, Elmbridge Park and Armscroft Park. The event is running from Monday August 24 to Sunday November 1. You can find out more information here.
