National Highways are undertaking essential works on the A40 between the Over and Highnam roundabouts. These repairs will extend the life of the bridge and reduce the risk of unplanned closures for emergency maintenance work in the future. The scheme will deliver a more resilient, safer and more reliable route for local communities, businesses and freight. What to expect Between 29 June 2026 and March 2027 there will be a mixture of lane closures, contraflows and a reduced speed limit of 30mph. This approach ensures the vital route can remain open throughout most of the works whilst maintaining the safety of users and workers. There will also be some unavoidable overnight closures with a clearly marked diversion route. CCTV monitoring and a free recovery service will be provided for the duration of the works. For full details of the closures please visit: https://nationalhighways.co.uk/our-roads/south-west/a40-over-bridge-refurbishment

We are fortunate to have beautiful countryside and grazing fields surrounding our village, which many residents enjoy walking through with their dogs.
May we kindly remind all dog owners to pick up after their pets and take any bagged waste home with them. Dog fouling in fields can pose a serious health risk to livestock, particularly grazing cattle and sheep. Certain parasites and diseases carried in dog faeces can cause illness, miscarriage, and even death in farm animals.
Most dog owners are already considerate and responsible, and we thank them for helping to keep our footpaths and fields safe for everyone. By cleaning up after our dogs, we can all play a part in protecting local livestock, supporting our farmers, and keeping the countryside enjoyable for all.
