Comments

A second phase of work by Severn Trent water is due to start in Gloucester. (January 26th)

The work along Heathville Road in Gloucester to help prevent foul water flooding for local residents.

A total of £309,000 will be spent on the second phase of the Gloucester flood alleviation scheme, linking to work that has already taken place across the Kingsholm area of the city.

Paul Dennison, project manager said 'It is reassuring to be moving on to the second part of our overall strategy to alleviate foul water flooding in the area. Apart from the two week road closure, we don't expect the project to have a major impact on traffic and hope that local residents will see the benefits for years to come.'

The work will help stop foul water flooding to private properties and is due to finish at the end of June next year.

It will see a proposed road closure for Heathville Road in the New Year for two weeks from March 12th, between the junction with Honyatt Road to the junction with Alexandra Road for approximately 75 meters.
