SNIP >>> Proactive Vision Ltd are preparing a bid for £400,000 of lottery cash to help reopen the rail link to Sharpness as part of an ambitious project to increase commerce and tourism in the area. The group has been awarded £10,000 from the Big Lottery Village SOS scheme to work up their plans, and they will hear in May whether they will be one of the finalists to appear in a six-part series on BBC One later in the year. (Stroud News 13 January) <<< END Especially bearing in mind the tidal generator, I reckon Sharpness has a great future ahead of it. I would mark Sharpness down as a prospective British "Monaco" in 25 years time. I assume there will be a casino built on the site of the Docker's Club. Possibly Lydney can compete with Les Sables D'Olonne to make the yotties happy. Beeky
