Citizen editor: More clubs could only bring more life to the city in the evening
EASTGATE Street, like a lot of Gloucester, wears its heart on it sleeve.
The strip is loud and proud about what its many clubs and late night bars have to offer and delivers the footfall as a result.
Yet, a bustling evening economy was not built on one street alone and there is the rest of the city which let's face it – bar a few exceptions – is hardly jumping.
Several once-popular clubs have been left to go to wrack and ruin without the investment to make them great once more.

MUM Jo Beaven heard the words every parent must dread – your child has cancer.
Jamie was just 17 months old and he had to undergo months of gruelling treatment.
In today's paper, Jo has spoken with amazing honesty about what the family has been through and about how that day changed their lives forever.
Her story is a very moving and essential read. Let's hope it can help others and raise vital funds towards research.
MICHAEL Gove's announcement to scrap GCSEs has not affected one county school.
In fact, pupils at The Acorn School in Nailsworth don't sit any exams.
To some, this may appear an odd educational technique, but who are we to judge?
As they say, the proof is in the pudding and a string of its former students have just garnered first class degrees.
