Gloucestershire County Council will be conducting road patching on 22nd November at a section of Meadow Way to repair localised faults and improve the condition of the road. The patching programme is dependent on several factors. It can be affected by things like; heavy rain, snow, changes in temperatures and other weather events as well as plant breakdown and unforeseen technical issues that arise once work has begun. All this means scheme dates and details can change at short notice. They appreciate road works are inconvenient, but, in order to keep you and the team working on the road safe, it is necessary. We have planned the work so we can be in and out as quickly as possible. To ensure the safety of pedestrians, road users and workforce no vehicular access will be permitted on the section of the road being worked on at a time. The crew may allow essential access (i.e. medical appointment) in and out of the closure area, when it is safe to do so, but they need periods without vehicles to get the actual scheme done. For this reason, we ask you to limit any vehicular movement to a minimum. Please plan your essential journeys ahead and allow plenty of time. Please note that parking on the road (as marked red on the map) will be prohibited during the works. Workers will make every effort to contact the owners of any vehicles left parked on road, but if unsuccessful, they may have to arrange for them to be removed to a secure area until collected by owners. Off-road parking will be unaffected. These works are in place to improve the condition of the road, which you will benefit from, so your co-operation would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance for your patience and co-operation. If you have any queries, please email Highways@gloucestershire.gov.uk.

Following a discussion with the Highways representative for Gloucestershire North, we can confirm that the roadworks on Gotherington Lane will continue until at least September 21st, but could run until the end of the month. This is partly due to water pipes having to be re-laid, which had not been originally anticipated. We have discussed the residents concerns about the layout of the junction with Vale Road, and these issues are being taken back to the Highways Department. Any updates will be issued on this page as soon as we are made aware of them.

Community Connexions are looking for volunteer drivers to enable them to help more members of our community. The charity help many local residents by providing vital transport to people. This helps people retain their independence and tackle loneliness from social and rural isolation. Connexions rely on volunteers to help deliver their services and without volunteers they wouldn’t be able to take people shopping, to visit their loved ones or to health appointments. They are in urgent need of volunteer drivers in the local area. Expenses are paid and you can give as little or as much time as you have. Some volunteers give a few hours a week, others are nearer full time. Interested? To find out more please look at https://communityconnexions.org.uk/volunteer email info@communityconnexions.org.uk or call 0345 6805029.

It is with great sadness that we have learned the news of the death of our Monarch, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Most of us have not known life without her as our Queen, a Queen who led the Country and the Commonwealth with a lifelong dedication to duty, the like of which we will never see again. On behalf of Bishop’s Cleeve Parish Council and all of our residents we offer our sincere condolences to her family at this very difficult time. A Book of Condolence is available in the Parish Office for residents to sign. As a mark of respect, the Council will be flying the Union Flag at half-mast and over the coming days we will be following the national protocol to mourn Her Majesty. Anybody wishing to lay floral tributes is asked to do so at the flag pole in the Parish Garden, Church Road, Bishop’s Cleeve, but please do not leave them wrapped in paper or plastic and avoid leaving candles. Those placed outside of the designated area will be moved to the official area. All items will be removed the day after the State Funeral for HM Queen ElizabethII. In accordance with protocol all Council meetings scheduled to take place before the 26th September have been postponed. Further details of the revised dates will be available on the Council’s website shortly.
Councillor Wendy Hopkins, Chair of Bishop’s Cleeve Parish Council
