This is the public's first chance to see the plans, ask questions and make comments
"Public involvement in this whole process is absolutely essential, "says Caroline White, Stroud District Council's Development Surveyor. "The town centre belongs to them. The plans on show are proposals - it's up to the public to tell us whether we've got it right and if not, what we need to change. There will be more consultation before anything happens on the ground"
A feedback form is available to download below. Return completed forms to Stroud District Council by 22nd May 2008 for comments to be included in the final Public Realm Strategy.

The Public Realm Strategy project is led by the Stroud Concordat, a body comprising representatives of Stroud District and Town Councils, Gloucestershire County Council and Project Stroud.
The Concordat has commissioned Dorset-based NEW Masterplanning to draw up the Strategy. The company has a long history of working in Gloucestershire. Support will be provided by Hamilton Baillie traffic and shared space specialists. Before starting work, the firm examined the town in detail, collating key information to understand the town as it currently works, including pedestrian, cycle and vehicle traffic; development opportunities and plans for restoring the Cotswold Canals.
The project will be funded by Stroud District Council with some additional funding From Stroud Town Council
