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.
