A NEW garden area has been transformed at a Stroud club just in time for the European Championships.

Work had been ongoing at the garden area in front of the Carlton in London Road over the last few weeks.

The works have now finished, just in time for football fans to see England's tense 1-0 opening win against Serbia.  

’Mike Bulbeck - lead for football on the club’s committee said: "The garden updates are a great addition to the club, with membership numbers growing all the time as a result of this investment.

"I want to thank Joe Billau and his team at Diamond Developments for the brilliant job they have done creating this wonderful space, all we need now is an England win!
