The Clock Tower in the centre of Coleford is the symbol of the town and the Town Council felt that it was a shame that this iconic building was being used for little more that a storage space. Consequently the Council has formed a Working Party to look at what could be done with the tower.

Annie Lapington – the Town Clerk says “ it is important that the community plays a part is making this decision. The Council has invited representatives from the public to participate in this project, but whatever plans the steering group come up with it will be down to the people of Coleford to decide what will happen to the tower”

She continues, “the tower is structurally in good order and there seems to be many opportunities for its future use. Suggestions have ranged from a museum about Coleford to being the Town Council offices. It will also give the council opportunity to think about the town centre space and see if that could be developed as well.

If you would like to be part of the working party please contact Annie at the Town Council offices. 01594 832103
