Ramblings from the folk at ICON!

We thought this would be a great opportunity – though admittedly not brilliantly original – to get the word ’summer’ into our blog, bearing in mind this time last year we were busy clearing up and coping with the aftermath of the floods and collecting our bottled water rations from the police and army supervised distribution centre in the car park of the former B&Q store on Trier Way – fortunately that’s just round the corner so we didn’t have far to carry it!

So what’s new with us? Actually quite a lot: new clients with new projects; recent new clients with projects now coming onstream; current clients with both new and ongoing projects; and the welcome return from maternity leave of our senior designer, Vicky, who gave birth to a lovely little girl, Gabriella.

New city heritage website is live.

The latest updated version of our Gloucester Heritage URC interactive website – designed to encourage participation in the regeneration of Gloucester – has now gone live at www.gloucesterurc.co.uk

GHURC Chief Executive Chris Oldershaw said:

“The regeneration of Gloucester is a living, breathing project, and the continuing input of those who have an interest in the City is essential if we are to deliver a successful scheme by 2012.”

Visitors to the site will be able to read a regularly updated blog written by Chris and have their say on each of the ‘Magnifient Seven’ key regeneration projects. The site will also stream the on-going video diary currently being made by youth and community groups across the city, tracking the changes taking place as Gloucester’s £1 billion regeneration programme gains pace. A news page keeps visitors up to date with the wide range of projects and developments which are now taking place across the City.
