A longer lido season, a court case and a park stabbing: Stroud’s September weekend
Local reports from Stroud between 11 and 13 September place a council leisure extension alongside unrelated police matters, with no source connecting them.
On 11 September, SoGlos reported that Stratford Park Lido's outdoor swimming season had been extended through September 2026 by the council [1]. Later that day, Stroud News and Journal said a driver stopped in Stroud was facing court after being charged with drug-driving and motoring offences [2]. By the weekend, BBC News Gloucestershire reported an 18-year-old had been arrested after a 15-year-old boy was stabbed in a Stroud park [3], and the Gazette Series said the boy had been taken to hospital [4].
