EnolaGaia, I wouldn't trust anything written by Gloucestershire Live since about 2010, or I would certainly suggest taking their articles with a large dose of salt. Gloucestershire Live is nothing more than the ghost of some very old and prestigious publications, the Gloucester Journal (1722 to c1991) and the Gloucester Citizen, but those papers are long gone and what's left is a staff of interns seemingly without an editor. They frequently get basic details about Gloucester wrong. They can't be trusted about really, well, anything.
As a proud Gloucestrian (hence the username) it causes me pain to have to discommend my local newspaper, or what is left of it, but there we are. I know many other newspapers both local and national have experienced massive declines too but I believe what has been done to the Citizen and its website Gloucestershire Live eclipses the decline of nearly all other publications by some margin.
