Road Safety

We have a small sub-group of the Parish Council working on road safety including parish councillors and members of the public. We meet about once every two months looking at issues like traffic speeds, road crossings and dangerous parking. If you would like to join the group please contact Martin Whiteside [email protected]. We would particularly like representation from parents with children.

TEMPORARY CLOSURE C204 TOADSMOOR ROAD
(BRIMSCOMBE AND THRUPP PARISH) STROUD DISTRICT

Gloucestershire County Council, as traffic authority, has made an Order under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (as amended) to temporarily close part of the C204 Toadsmoor Road from outside of the property known as ‘Montrow’ to its junction with London Road for a distance of approximately 56
metres.

The reason for the closure is for gas mains replacement work.
The said road is expected to be closed from 10th August 2026 until 21st August 2026. However, if the said works are not completed by this date the Order may remain in force for up to eighteen months or until the said works have been completed, whichever is sooner.

For further information, please contact Gloucestershire Highways on 08000 514 514 or visit www.gloucestershire.gov.uk.

Alternative Route – as signed on site.
Pedestrian access to premises on or next to the road, and Emergency access, will be maintained.

PARISH BOUNDARY REVIEW

Over the next few weeks, Stroud District Council will be carrying out a review of the current boundary between Minchinhampton Parish and Brimscombe & Thrupp.

Currently the boundary lies along the railway line - which means that Brimscombe Church, the School, and all the houses on Victoria Road, Albert Road, and Orchard Lane and on Brimscombe Hill are actually in Minchinhampton Parish.

The proposal we have made to SDC is to move the boundary up to the Roundabouts and to extend it to the east such that the new Wimberley Park estate will also become part of our parish - the red line on the image. We believe that residents in this area feel naturally to be part of Brimscombe rather than Minchinhampton parish.

We will be sending a leaflet around to affected residents and asking for their feelings on the matter. If anyone else would like to comment, please do so indicating whether or not you feel this is a good idea and why, we will be providing all feedback to SDC to inform their decision.

BRIMSCOMBE PORT - what does "meanwhile use" mean and how do we approach it as a community?

30th July 19:30-21:00 at Brimscombe Mill

If you want to help start the conversation about meanwhile use at Brimscombe Port please come along to a public listening and sharing event to help restart the process of meanwhile use at Brimscombe Port. Some of the questions we want to explore together are:

- How would you like to see the space being used?
- Who should organise the space?
- Would you like to be involved in making the meanwhile space come to life?

Stroud District Council are moving forward with people, plans and energy to put the heart back into Brimscombe Port through development.

Cllr Helen Elliot-Boult and Will Mansell (members of the newly reformed Brimscombe Port Project Board) will share the current status and aspirations and hold a space for people to start to consider what should and could happen next.

Food available at Long Table until 19:00 and the bar is open until 19:30 to grab a drink before we start.
