Dursley Town Council staged the annual Pancake Races on Shrove Tuesday, attracting dozens of competitors despite the rain.

Dursley Mayor, Cllr Alex Stennett told Stroud Times: “It’s the first time I’ve adjudicated this – we revived the tradition in 2010, and Covid stopped us for a bit, but we’re back in full force now.”
