Water companies are coming under scrutiny in Gloucestershire on the back of a national campaign to clean up our rivers.

A group in the mid Cotswolds has met again and given the green light to a series of initiatives to help keep people safe.

Last year, on 20 December, Gloucestershire County Council Cabinet committed to “planting a million trees by 2030” across the county. However, after intensive scrutiny from Cllr Paul Hodgkinson, it has finally emerged that in the 12 months since making the pledge the Conservatives have failed to plant a single tree. 

A Cotswolds road which has been shut to two way traffic since 2015 has reopened at last.

The sorry state of Gloucestershire’s roads has forced the Conservative County Council to pay out nearly £70,000 in compensation for damage to cars and bikes and injuries to pedestrians from 2017 to 2020.

A new campaign has just kicked off to promote road safety and civic pride.

Figures show frequent dumping of raw sewage into Gloucestershire’s waterways, while increasing numbers use rivers for leisure activities. 

Unanimous backing for councillor's call to celebrate the Gloucestershire’s volunteers and memorialise the loss of lives of so many in our county.

With wellbeing coming to the fore, here's a bit of good news for cyclists.

The Household Recycling Centre (HRC) at Fosse Cross, near Cirencester has re-opened as of this Monday (18 May) for pre-booked visits only.
