Ash Dieback
Dear Sir/Madam
What: Temporary Traffic Order to close the road for essential Ash Dieback tree work.
Where: B4425 Aldsworth to A40 – at Jct of C138 (see overleaf for details of the exact location)
When: 1-5th June 2026 inclusive from 09.30 to 15.30 daily.
On behalf of Gloucestershire County Council, we advise you that we are due to be conducting essential work at the above location to remove unsafe trees infected with Ash Dieback.
*** During this period, 1-5th June 2026 inclusive, there will be a 4-point closure in place at the crossroads of B4425 and C138 where essential Ash Dieback work is to be completed. There will be NO THROUGH ACCESS from Aldsworth to A40 using B4425, from B4425 to A40 using C138 or from B4425 to A361 using C138. ***
DIVERSIONS – We have created an official diversion route which will be signposted and is suitable for all vehicles that would normally use the closed ‘class A’ road. This is indicated in blue on the map.
Ash Dieback disease causes Ash trees to become unsafe; trees could shed limbs or collapse on to the road causing harm and injury. This work must take place for health and safety reasons, to protect road users and pedestrians, and make sure the carriageway remains clear of debris.
