Doctors & Pharmacies

Are you looking to register with a Doctor?

Following several concerns from new residents who have experienced problems trying to register for a local Doctors Surgery Practice, we contacted the NHS Patient Advice & Liaison Service in Gloucester and asked for their help.

Here is the response that we received:

“All practices within the county will have crossover boundaries, so a particular house number could be in a different boundary area to their next-door neighbour or even different from a resident across the road.

The primary care team have a mapping tool where they can confirm which properties come within a certain area for GP registration.

If residents would like to contact our team directly, giving their full postal address (it is important to give house number and postcode) we can check on the system and advise of the choices available.

I believe the systems are still being updated and is likely why some are being declined.

The team are aware of this and working alongside practices in that area to rectify this.

I am sorry I cannot be more specific at this time; however, our team are more than happy to help those who are finding it difficult to register.”

Proposed School at Twigworth Green

May 2025 – Following an enquiry about the proposed school at Twigworth Green, Cllr Redfern has received a reply from the GCC Director of Education…. it reads..

“The scale of the development (725 homes) at Twigworth Green will generate the need for 210 places (1 Form Entry).

As part of the original negotiations with the developer, GCC secured an additional parcel of land which will enable the school to expand by a further 0.5 FE (105 places) which will meet the school places need to in the future.

The timeline for any school expansion is based on our data driven forecasts around birth rates, child yields from new housing etc, and is in line with the Department for Education requirements. The latest planning area forecasts show the LA will need to plan for the school to be in place by 2028 to meet the additional demand.

GCC are in the final phases of securing the site from the developer and in the late summer/autumn of this year will start to plan for how the site will be developed for the school.

As part of the progress of the scheme officers will engage with local stakeholders to share updates on progress. As with all the LA’s new schemes, GCC officers will also hold some public engagement events to share plans of the proposals and seek feedback prior to formally submitting a planning application. No dates are set yet for these, but be assured officers will be liaising with stakeholders early in this process. Council Cabinet approval will be required to progress the proposals. We would be looking to take the proposal to cabinet at the end of 2025 – early 2026….”
