Gloucestershire County Council and Winchcombe Town Council are holding a public exhibition on Thursday 12th March at the Guide Hall about proposed work to Winchcombe High Street and the surrounding area.
Representatives from the county and town councils will be available to answer questions and gather opinions about the plans which will include traffic calming and improvements for pedestrians.
The works will include widening the footway and making the carriageway the more narrow which will help slow traffic. Plans also include extending the kerb at a junction to make it safer for pedestrians and improving pedestrian crossing points. The plans also propose to introduce areas of coloured surfacing to raise driver awareness and reduce traffic speeds.
Cllr Vernon Smith, order cabinet member for highways at Gloucestershire County Council, health said: “This is a great opportunity for residents to find out more these plans which aim to improve safety for road users and pedestrians. We would encourage as many people as possible to come along.”
The plans for Hailes Street, High Street and North Street will be available for viewing and discussion with representatives from Gloucestershire County Council and Amey on Thursday 12th March 2015 at 2pm – 7:30pm at the Guide Hall, High Street, Winchcombe.
