Hosepipe Ban Now In Effect

Posted on By Town Clerk

Thames Water has issued the following message:

Dear Customer,

We’re getting in touch on behalf of Thames Water, your water wholesaler, to inform you that a hosepipe ban is now in effect in your area as of Tuesday 22 July.

This Temporary Use Ban (TUB) applies across several areas of the Thames Water supply region, including the following postcode areas: OX, GL, SN, RG4, RG8, and RG9.

Persistent dry weather and reduced river and reservoir levels have made water conservation essential. The ban is one of several emergency measures to help secure supply and avoid risk of further disruption.

If you require additional information or to report any urgent issues, Thames Water’s 24-hour customer helpline is available on 0800 316 9800.

Parking in the Green and Market Place

Posted on By Town Clerk

The Town Council recognises that parking in Market Place and the Green remains a concern for many residents and continues to be a regular topic of discussion at Council meetings. 🚗

We are currently working with Gloucestershire Highways and other specialists to explore options that could help address some of the key issues around safety and parking. Once proposals are developed, residents will be fully consulted before any decisions are made.

In the meantime, while longer-term solutions are being considered, we kindly ask residents, wherever possible, to use private driveways or off-street parking, particularly for vehicles not in regular daily use.

This will help ensure that more space is available for visitors coming into the town to shop, dine, and access local services — contributing to the continued vitality of our town centre.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Have Your Say On The Future of Council Services in Gloucestershire

Posted on By Town Clerk

Information from Gloucestershire County Council:

National government has announced its intention to reform the structure of local councils in Gloucestershire. Currently the county is served by one county council and six district councils. The proposed changes will replace these with unitary councils, which would streamline services under fewer, larger authorities.

All seven councils in Gloucestershire are working together focused on gathering feedback on how local services can best meet the needs of residents both now and in the future.

As Gloucestershire moves through the Local Government Reorganisation process, it’s important that residents feel well-informed and have a chance to share your thoughts on how a unitary council – or councils – should be shaped.

  • How well do you feel your council services work?
  • What about your community is most important to you?
  • How can we make Gloucestershire run as smoothly as possible?

Consultation open until Saturday 9 August 2025.
