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.

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, the Frequently Asked Questions on our web page link; Ash Dieback Road Closure FAQ/Highways, contact us on 08000 514514 or email AshDieback@gloucestershire.gov.uk.

Have Your Say On The Future of Council Services in Gloucestershire

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.
