The Earl Trio Friday 23rd October, Brimpsfield Village Hall.
Kier Infrastructure is working on behalf of National Highways to improve the existing A417 Missing Link. We’re writing to inform you that there will be a full weekend closure in October which may affect your journeys.
The new A417 will be closed in both directions between Shab Hill junction and A429 Burford Road:
Weekend closure:
* 11pm on Friday 30 October to 6am Monday 2 November
This closure is required so that we can complete work at Cowley junction to open the northbound slip road.
These activities may generate some noise while we're working, which we will monitor each night.
Following these works, northbound traffic travelling from Cirencester will be able to exit at Cowley junction and continue towards Birdlip via the old A417.
This route will remain in place until the new B4070 opens later this year. Once open, the old A417 will be permanently closed between Stockwell Lane and the former B4070. Traffic travelling towards Birdlip will then be directed via the new B4070 from Shab Hill junction. Further details, including the date of this work, will be communicated closer to the time.
Road closure dates may change at short notice. Please regularly check the A417 webpage for updates and our previous communications for full listings of road closures.
Fully signposted diversion routes will be in place during the closure. Please follow the official, signed diversion route and not satnav. Access for emergency services will be fully maintained during the closures.

Location: Foxwood House Climperwell Road Brimpsfield Gloucester Gloucestershire GL4 8LD
Proposal: Birch T6 - removal and replacement with an Iford Cherry tree. The tree was planted as part of the original development, approximately 30 years ago as 1 or 3 "small trees". It is located directly over the septic tank and main drainage routes from the house. It is located too close to the garage/flat and is causing shading and loss of light. It shades the PV's to the main house in the afternoon. It has grown too large for its original purpose. It cannot be topped or crown reduced as the branch shape will continue to grow upwards. We wish to have it felled and replaced with an Iford cherry tree in the same location, which is a more suitable size and shape for the site
