A crucial week for the Golden Valley Development?

Gloucestershire flagship £1blln Golden Valley development hinges on finding £334 million to improve junction 10 of the M5. It might be about to do just that!

Dear readers,

My apologies for sending the first edition of the week a day late. Lots of stuff afoot, and a decision to change the story at the last minute is my excuse!

Today we are very pleased to share the news about more growth at one of our Founding Partners (the businesses that make possible The Raikes Journal) and a line of senior appointments Willans has made as it continues to develop both its staff and its business.

Congratulations to everyone named in the story below.

We run our usual briefing notes, today about Gloucesteshire Airport, about how Julian Dunkerton is getting the blame for setting a planning precedent for other Cheltenham eateries to exploit, and about expansion plans at a Five Valleys food hall.

But the main story is all about the Golden Valley. We suspect this could be a very big week indeed for those behind the development. Certainly last week delivered a pretty big windfall to edge it closer to the start line.

We hope you enjoy it. Have a great week.

Best regards,
