Gloucestershire's week: royal freshers, family bowls, and a housing fund

A royal procession, a family bowls team, and a government housing announcement show different sides of community life.

Homes England announced a £21.8m funding package to help councils build more affordable homes through the Social and Affordable Homes Programme [1]. BBC News Gloucestershire reported that James, Earl of Wessex, joined 250 freshers in a procession to begin their studies [2]. The same outlet said three sisters from the Forest of Dean, who learned bowls from their grandad, are rising through the ranks of the sport [3].
