I'm currently working on a One Place Study of Lydney, Gloucestershire. As part of the study, I'm simply adding the study category to this profile. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, feel free to let me know! The category addition will not change the profile at all, only categorise it within the study, so rest assured that I am not taking over the profile in any way. If you'd like to learn more about a One Place Study and what it's about, you can read more about the project here.
Thanks, Amy Utting.
