Gloucester to Newent road to be closed for five months

Severn Trent are proposing to close the the Gloucester to Newent Road (B4215) for 5 months in order to replace a water main. The road for will be closed in rolling 1000 metre sections starting at Two Mile Lane and working up towards Rudford. Upon reaching Rudford, where the road widens out, Severn Trent will be changing their traffic management to two-way traffic lights, for approximately three months.

Clearly this will result in traffic being diverted through Maisemore, but there is still time to register your concerns. 

You can contact Gloucestershire County about this project using either of these email addresses:  will.winsor-clive@gloucestershire.gov.uk

or  philip.cameron@gloucestershire.gov.uk

 

You may like to copy any email you send to County Councillor Phil Awford  - Phillip.Awford@gloucestershire.gov.uk - and /or our MP Mark Harper at   mark.harper.mp@parliament.uk

You can also contact Severn Trent about it directly using the email address: philip.smith@severntrent.co.uk
