Christmas 2022: What's happening in Gloucester?
As we enter Christmas week I thought it would be good to share with you some of the things happening in our City over this festive period as well as contact details for services if you need support.
There's plenty going on throughout the holiday period, which I hope constituents will be able to enjoy.
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!
Best regards
