Road Closure – A429 Fosseway, Fossecross Junction, June 2017

Posted on By Town Clerk

The A429 Fosse Way will be closed for carriageway resurfacing from Monday 19th June to Friday 30th June (not including weekends), from 0730 to 1730 daily. Attached is a map showing the extents of both the road closure and work areas (Amey Ref 22013836).

The road closure area (dotted red line on map attached) extends beyond the work area to help Amey manage through-traffic, and a signed diversion will be in place. However we will do all we can to provide access for residents and businesses in the road closure area where it extends beyond the work area.

Re-open the Old A40

Posted on By Town Clerk

Road-closed-sign-oldA40-220wThe old A40 runs between the A40 at Puesdown and the Old Prison at Northleach and has been well used by local people as an alternative route to Northleach and to villages such as Yanworth and Compton Abdale. It was closed in 2015 as a result of a wall collapsing and the ground subsiding.

Whilst we all understand that it takes time to investigate and remedy a situation, Paul Hodgkinson believes that enough is enough and that County Council highways bosses must now act and provide a timetable for the road to be re-opened.

Support Paul’s campaign to re-open the road. Add your name and details to the petition below and help us to help out pressure on Gloucestershire County Council and Highways to re-open the old A40 as quickly as possible.

We have received an update from Gloucestershire Highways about the road closure at Prison Copse Wall behind the Old Prison, also known as the Old A40.

Further to approval at the Capital Programme Meeting this week, funds have been set aside to undertake a Ground Investigation along the site of the Prison Copse Wall this financial year. The Ground Investigation will be designed to clarify the failure mechanism at the site and help to confirm the type of solution best suited.

Road Closures – A40 Northleach

Posted on By Town Clerk

Details relating to 2 road closures on the A40 below:

Both are for essential resurfacing at this point and will not involve any of the junction work that the Town Council have been requesting at the Puesdown and East End (Burford Road) junctions. Emergency and pedestrian access will be available for both. Please expect increased traffic and delays during these works.

The first road closure will now take place on Wednesday 3rd July – Sunday 7th July The road will be closed from the Northleach roundabout and for 700 metres in the direction of the Puesdown (but not as far as the Puesdown junction).

The second road closure is still scheduled to take place on Monday 24th June – Tuesday 2nd July. The road will be closed from the Northleach roundabout and for 2000 metres in the direction of Burford (but not as far as the east end junction from Northleach onto the junction at the A40).

The work will take place between 8pm and 6am at night and therefore they are not planning to have  a contraflow on the A40 or any parking restrictions within Northleach as it should affect far fewer vehicles than during the day.
