Ash Dieback
Dear Sir/Madam
- What: Temporary Traffic Order to close the road for essential Ash Dieback tree work.
- Where: A429 Fosseway – from A436 Old Gloucester Road Jct to A40 Jct near Northleach (see the attached for details of the exact location)
- When: 14–18th September 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.
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.
If you have any queries, please refer to the letter attached to this email, the Frequently Asked Questions on our website, Ash Dieback Road Closure FAQ/Highways, contact us on 08000 514514 or email AshDieback@gloucestershire.gov.uk.
Thank you in advance for your patience and co-operation.
Ash Dieback Officer
Gloucestershire County Council
