Campaigners have spoken of their disappointment that plans to build a new primary school in Gloucester have been given the green light. A planning inspector overturned the original decision by Gloucester City Council to refuse planning permission to build the school on the land next to Clearwater Drive in Quedgeley after the Diocese of Gloucester appealed.

Public meeting to discuss A40 bypass plans
Two public events are being held in November about plans for a new roundabout on the A40 northern bypass. The Innsworth Gateway Project has been proposed to facilitate the houses that will be built in Innsworth. The scheme will provide an upgrade to the Longford roundabout, which will increase its capacity to accommodate predicted future traffic flows and assist in relieving existing congestion. The events are being held on November 21 and 22 between 3.30pm and 7.30pm at Oxstalls Sports Park in Gloucester. It is an opportunity for members of the public to come and find out more and ask any questions to the project team. There is no need to register.
