Roadworks on the Cirencester Road![]()
Many residents living on Horcott Road have approached us to seek information about the extent of the work being carried out by SSEN at the junction of Horcott Road/Coronation St/ A147 . Notices were sent out by Glos. Highways but it was not very clear and relates to an 8 week project. ![]()
FTC has managed to establish that works at this location is projected to last upto 3 weeks, but it is hoped that work will be completed sooner. The Road closure will then be lifted. Work will then continue from the bottom of Horcott Road to the RAF base but there will be a 2-way traffic management system in place. There will also be further work carried out near the electricity sub-station on the Cirencester Road but again a 2-way traffic system will be operation. This information may be subject to change.
Glos police community support vehicle is here outside the Community Centre, today until 2.00pm. Come and talk to Bev about any concerns you have or if you want advice about something that you think the police may be able to help with.
