Locked down children loved art packs made up from recycled craft materials, some of them donated by Minchinhampton residents. The packs were the brainchild of local Home Start volunteers and were distributed by Stroud District Food Bank with their parcels.

An Extraordinary Minchinhampton Parish Council has unanimously opposed proposals for 35 new homes at The Knapp in Burleigh. The virtual meeting on Monday evening, 11th January, was "attended" by around a dozen members of the public who also made clear their objections to the plan. The decision now rests with the Stroud District Council Local planning authority.
