Tour of Britain – Cycle Race
Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire will play a key role in deciding who is crowned this year’s Tour of Britain champion when stage seven takes place in the historic county on Saturday 9 September.
The seventh and penultimate stage of this year’s Tour will start in Tewkesbury and finish alongside the historic Gloucester Docks on Saturday 9 September.
Meeting with Severn Trent Water
There is to be a meeting with Severn Trent Water on Wednesday 19th July at Down Hatherley Village Hall at 17:00 – 18:30.
It is principally about the Ash Lane pumping station in Down Hatherley, into which Twigworth’s longstanding pumping stations direct their waste.
All have failed badly in the last few years. This is exacerbated by Severn Trent by accepting waste from new developments.
Twigworth Green’s foul waste, to our knowledge, runs separately across to Innsworth.
This failed badly in January.
We will be asking for follow-up to that too.
It’s a meeting organised by Down Hatherley Parish Council and all residents are welcome to attend.
Webcasting Council Meetings
Tewkesbury Borough Council has voted in favour of webcasting its council meetings.
Have your say on the Highway
Gloucestershire residents are being asked for their views on all things highways this week after a new survey was launched. The survey asks residents for their views on road condition, grass verges, pavements, street lighting, road signs and more.
Gloucestershire County Council want more detail on what residents think at a local level. They’re also offering anyone who completes the survey the opportunity to take part in further focus groups to offer more detailed feedback. Here is the link:
