Closure of Footway and Cycle Way, 3/172 Whelford Road

(i) Footway/Cycleway only along road number 3/172 Road from south-west of Bowmoor House to Washpool Lane

The section of footway and cycle way to be closed will be in Whelford Road between the start of the footway and cycle way opposite the ‘telephone box’, for a distance of approximately 650 metres in a South Westerly direction towards Kempsford. Fencing to facilitate this will be erected and at specific times stewards will be provided at both ends of this section to ensure compliance.

Alternative Route An alternative footway and cycle track will be constructed using metal tracking to run parallel to the existing footpath and cycle way on the south east, or other side of the fence line using adjacent agricultural land thereby channelling pedestrians and cyclists away from the danger areas.

This footpath and cycle track is expected to be closed from 8th July 2019 until 23rd July 2019 or until the requirement has ceased up to maximum period of eighteen months. For further information, please contact Highways on 08000 514 514 or visit www.gloucestershire.gov.uk

The reason the closures are necessary is for safety reasons in facilitating the Fairford International Air Tattoo.

Access to frontages for pedestrians, residents and local businesses will be maintained.
