Road Closure – A4135 Main Road

The A4135 will be closed from Monday 22nd April to Wednesday 24th April (inclusive) for essential Ash Dieback work. The closure is from Calcot on the A46 to the junction with the B4058 to Horsley.

Additional signage to notify Village Only access has been requested to avoid the dire congestion problems experienced in Kingscote with previous closures of the road. Gloucestershire Highways have confirmed that the Ash Dieback team will put out these signs.
