Appeal for development by the village hall

After a lot of correspondence with both the Planning Inspectorate and Tewkesbury Borough Council I have eventually discovered that the submissions to the appeal from others than TBC were supplied by the PI to TBC for uploading to their website at the end of May 2020 but they were not properly published and thus have only become available today, just days before the appeal is due to be heard.

They can be downloaded from here:

Road Closure - Old Road, Maisemore - 23 October 2020

Following a complaint from a parishioner that Old Road is closed today I've been out and had a look. 

Yes, there's a closure barrier at the Old School crossroads.

 

... and driving up to find out where I got to Sherston at the top end of Hiams Lane:  

The workman on site advised it was a planned three-day closure

MPC haven't been directly informed of this closure - however now I've found it on the most recent schedule

SEVERN TRENT WATER LTD.
LB901-1303-000012493032
OVER OLD ROAD HARTPURY
HARTPURY
APPROX 15M NW OF JUNCTION OF HIAMS LANE [ green circle on map ]
CARRIAGEWAY TYPE 2 (2.5 TO 10 MSA) Job in Verge (Grass ) MAJOR ROAD CLOSURE
26/10/2020 28/10/2020
PROPOSED WORKS

So because the predicted "hole in the road" was in Hartpury parish, we haven't been advised of these works in Maisemore despite the fact that the hole actually being dug in the road is about 1 metre inside the Maisemore parish boundary [ blue circle on map ].

Also it appears they've jumped the gun and have started the works three days early!

Gloucestershire Highways have been asked for an explanation.

Reissued - the original posting was made as noted but it seems was not automatically distributed, though I can't determine why not.

Flood relief A417 Maisemore, B4213 Apperley and surrounding areas

Cllr Mat Fuller (of Staunton Parish Council but on behalf of the action group) writes:

 

On behalf of the A417 Maisemore and B4213 Apperley action group we need your help please.

Many times each year, thousands of people are severely impacted by flooding of main artery routes; A417 Maisemore, B4213 Apperley and surrounding areas. The enormous displacement of traffic severely impacts alternative routes e.g. B4215 Newent - Highnam plus all minor roads, causing heavy congestion, infrastructure damage & immense economic cost. I am sure you will agree, this is an intolerable situation and cannot continue to blight our lives.

Parish and Town Councils are unanimously supportive to get this resolved and County Councillors are united to lobby for a co-ordinated solution.

Public and business' strength of feeling is crucial to supporting our County Councillors in their lobbying of Gloucestershire County Council, Tewkesbury Borough Council, Forest of Dean District Council, Planning, Highways, Environmental authorities and Members of Parliament.

Your signature and support are crucially important and will make a difference.

Old Road temporary closure - 7-11 December 2020

 

Message received from:

Greg Burford

Gloucestershire County Council

Roadspace Co-ordinator (Tewkesbury District Area)

 

 

Please be advised of the following temporary road closure:

 

Old Road, Maisemore

The road above will be closed (as per red area on attached plan) from 08.00 07/12/2020 to 17.00 11/12/2020.       

This is to allow for installation of a new soil pipe to a private property by Pipeline Logistics.                      

If you require any further information regarding this closure please contact Gloucestershire Highways on 08000 514514.

 

 

I then queried the exact location of the works so that people accessing properties would know from which end to get to them - and this was the response:

 

Please see the plan extract below – exact road closure location is indicated by the red line bisecting the carriageway next to Yewtree Cottage.
