IT’S great news that Lydney Harbour is set for a £10,000 facelife.

An improved harbour can only be good news for locals and visitors alike.

There are ambitious plans to develop the harbour as a recreational and visitor destination.

The Tack/new grounds riverside walk, which is very close to the harbour, was sealed off in February 2006.

More than 10 years later the matter has not been resolved despite some efforts by Lydney Town Council to find a solution.

Walkers are still unable to walk alongside the river and enjoy the panoramic views.

Can I assume that Lydney Town Council has stopped trying to sort this out or can they give us an update on their progress?
