We are really pleased to announce that Community Connexions will be starting a new service in a few weeks’ time. The bus service will support those who need transport to help with shopping. The pre-bookable service will pick residents up from their home and head to Tesco Extra in Cirencester, every Tuesday morning between 9:30 and 12pm, starting on 12 December 2017. Concessionary bus passes can be used on the service, which will cover Northleach, Eastington, Farmington and Hampnett.

Thank you to all those who responded last month as your feedback has enabled this service to start. Please download the poster and pass these details on to anyone you think may benefit from it.

Community Transport in Northleach Area

Posted on By Town Clerk

Community Connexions is a charity running community bus routes in Gloucestershire. They are trying to establish if residents of Northleach and the surrounding area need transport to supermarkets for essential shopping. The service would be pre-bookable and passengers could use their concessionary bus passes as it would be a registered bus route. If there is sufficient demand, the service would be once a week to the Tesco Extra in Cirencester or into the centre of Cirencester, and would be suitable for residents with mobility issues.

If you feel that you would benefit from a door-to-door accessible shopper bus service please let me know as we are collating interest. Please fill in the form below. We specifically need to know how often you might want to use the service so they have an idea of numbers.

Kind regards
Cat Crompton, Clerk
Northleach with Eastington Town Council

Old A40 Collapse, Ground Investigation Report

Posted on By Town Clerk

The Town Council has received the following update from Highways about the collapse at Prison Copse:

“A copy of the factual report summarising the results of the Ground Investigation undertaken earlier this year is attached. This report sets out the detail of the borehole logs obtained from site and the results of the samples tested in the laboratory.

The next stage is to relate the borehole results to the surrounding geology and local geological maps. This results in a ‘Geotechnical Interpretive Report’ (GIR), which is being compiled at present and will aid us in specifying and procuring the treatment required at the site. As part of this we will confirm which budget the works should be sourced from and in what year works will take place.

The Geotechnical team are currently focused on making sure the Geotechnical Remediation Scheme at Horsley is delivered. Once the team have the Horsley work underway they will turn their attention to the A40 slip report and we will send you a copy of it when it is completed.”
