Churchend Road Closure update
After liaising with Highways they have now put in a one way diversion for when the roadworks at Churchend occur in July
Gloucestershire County Council, as traffic authority, intends to make an Order under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (as amended) to temporarily close part of the C227 Churchend from outside of the property known as ‘Blacksmith Cottages’ to outside of the property known as ‘Beehive Stores’ for a distance of approximately 55 metres. The reason for the said closure is for pipe renewal works by Severn Trent Water. The said road is expected to be closed from 08:00hrs on 21st July 2025 to 16:00hrs on 23rd July 2025 or until the works have been completed. For further information, please contact Gloucestershire Highways on 08000 514 514 or visit www.gloucestershire.gov.uk. Alternative Route – as signed on site Pedestrian access to premises on or next to the road, and emergency access, will be maintained.

This went to Development Control Committee last night where Cllr Mike Stayte spoke for the Parish Council. This was refused by the Committee, but we are expecting a revised application back with a smaller building size.
