Jeremy Hilton in Horton Road following its resurfacing

Second half of Horton Road to be resurfaced

A few months ago Gloucestershire County Council resurfaced Horton Road from its junction of London Road to the Aspen Centre. Now the county council is to complete the work, which Councillor Jeremy Hilton previously requested. This will be a section from the Aspen Medical Centre to the junction with Great Western Road. The planned start of the work is from January 26 to February 1, with the roadworks taking place between 7pm to 7am, excluding weekends. Councillor Hilton, pictured left when the first part of the road was finished, said: "I'm really pleased that this work is now taking place. "The dates are subject to weather conditions and I ask those that need to use Horton Road to be patient. The contractors are very efficient. "Once the new surface is down the road marking will be repainted. The current ones are badly faded to the extent drivers may be breaking traffic regulations without knowing it."

Loads of people living in Kingsholm and the city centre enjoyed shopping here. I remember working at the store as a teenager when it first opened and I have been a regular customer ever since." Dr Rebecca Trimnell confirmed that both she and Councillor Hilton met a senior representative Sainsbury to lobby on behalf of the petitioners. "We did have a constructive meeting with Sainsbury's and some of our suggestions were considered further, but back in December we received confirmation that sadly the store will close," Dr Trimnell said. "This week they have told us the store is mostly likely to close on January 30. It really does feel like the end of an era." Cou

Lib Dems grill Rishi Sunak over NHS neglect

The NHS is in crisis after years of this Conservative government running it into the ground and there is still no sign of progress on the long promised 40 new hospitals. And Conservative MPs just jeer from the sidelines. It is an insult to millions suffering across the country.
