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."
