Get involved in Your Town, Your Future
Today, the Gloucestershire Echo launches the Your Town, Your Future campaign.
And thisisgloucestershire provides an opportunity for you to make your feelings known on the future of your town.
-
We are asking you to send in pictures in support of Your Town – Your Future in three different categories – preserve, change and improve.
And that sums up the message of Your Town – Your Future.
■ Preserve – Cheltenham is known as England's most complete Regency town and that must be protected at all costs.
■ Change – A town should never stand still. But what are the measures that will change Cheltenham for the better?
■ Improve – This should not just apply to Cheltenham's buildings, but to its facilities and society in equal measure.
Click here to email us your pictures.
You can also use the comment facility below to let us know what you think should be done to keep Cheltenham at the forefront of Gloucestershire - and south west - culture.
Your Town – Your Future gives you the opportunity to have your say. Will you take it?

“"Remove Royal Wells bus station and replace with garden and outside cafes" , said Gordon Hill.
Pretty idea but where would you put the bus station?”

“An ice rink for the teenagers. Cheltenham has long been promised this - The Black and White coach station site would be ideal!
Now we have shortsighted greedy people who want nothing more than to overpopulate the town, to swell the economy no doubt, calling for new homes to be built there.
While mass immigration is uncontrolled we will never solve our housing problems by building new homes - the more affordable homes are, the greater the temptation to people to come. Its simple supply and demand.”

“Cheltenham could do with some decent public toilets - visit the small towns in Wychavon to see good examples.”

“I would be great if, when the master plan is finalised, all the night entertainment, to-gether with take away food, accident and emergency treatment and police where all in one spot then the inocent visitor and towns folk, could stroll around town at night, free from hastle. this would alco free uo A&E at the Cheltenham Gen. Hospital.

“I agree with R Millington - Cheltenham is crying out for an arts centre - it's ridiculous that we have to travel to The Guildhall Gloucester or The Roses Theatre in Tewksbury to catch an independent or foreign film - there is an audience here in Cheltenham. Even a place the size of Pershore has an arts centre!
I used to dream of the Daffodil being the perfect venue for this (as it was once a beautiful theatre). More markets too please in The Suffolks - The street festival once a year is not enough - all the shops/businesses in this area would benefit from the increase in footfall a weekly/fortnightly market would bring. I've been told by traders that it's a right palaver getting the roads closed for this event - but this area is never traffic congested, it really lends itself for antiques/crafts/organic veg market (aka Notting Hill). Great for bringing community together and a kick in the teeth for the soul-less chain stores in town!”
