Re-think proposed sale of the Old Prison at Northleach –give the community time. The Old Prison at Northleach, is one of the most important assets in CDC’s care. The site came to CDC with grant support to ensure the site, and the nationally important collection of rural artefacts would be well cared for. People then and now, would expect CDC to be taking a lead in stewardship of our district
