This page updates every morning by checking Gloucestershire County Council's scheme page and Highways email bulletins, and adds issues residents have reported in the community Facebook group, without names or anything that identifies who posted. It is run by local residents, not the council. Official information links to its source, and resident reports are clearly marked. If this page and the council's differ, go by the council's.
What the scheme delivers: priority build-outs near St James' Church and The Elms, a 20mph limit through the village, a new footpath to the Mill Lane bus stop, and new street lighting.
Heads-up · from the roadworks registerPossible full closure, 11 to 16 Nov (unconfirmed)The national roadworks register shows a council permit to close Stoke Road from Wed 11 Nov 8pm to Mon 16 Nov 5am, between Mill Lane and Banady Lane, covering race weekend. It was granted in August, before the programme changed, and the council's page does not mention it. Until the council confirms, plan for the road possibly being closed.Permit reference: EY102GH1902000044155-02. To check it, open the register, set the date to "Next two weeks" and tap the works on Stoke Road.Open Stoke Road on the roadworks register
