Alex: "Resurfacing Not 'Cowpat' Repairs, is the Answer"

  • Tweet
Saturday, 16 July, 2022

After significant progress locally, Alex is urging Gloucestershire highways teams to go even further in resurfacing Cheltenham's roads.

Alex has long spoken out in favour of resurfacing not 'cowpat' repairs. All too often in the past, Amey gangs returned time and again to the same road defect, as bodge repairs washed out in the first frost.

Now resurfacing company Tarmac have been contracted, and following roads have recently been resurfaced:

  • St James' Square
  • Tewkesbury Road
  • Evesham Road (pictured)
  • St George's Place
  • Oriel Road
  • Tommy Taylor's Lane
  • The Promenade
  • Montpellier Terrace
  • Montpellier Parade

Alex has collated a list of further roads that need resurfacing and has recently reported the following:

  • Harp Hill
  • Rowanfield Road
  • Bayshill Road
  • Hanover Street
  • Malleson Road
  • St Paul's Road 
  • Leckhampton Hill

Following lobbying from Alex, the following roads are also scheduled to be resurfaced in the coming months:

  • Royal Well Road
  • St George’s Road
  • Buckingham Avenue
  • Bath Road and A40 Sandford Road
  • Leckhampton Road
  • Tennyson Road phase 2
  • Millbrook Street
  • Margrett Road
  • Pittville Crescent Lane
  • Selkirk Street
  • Orchard Avenue
  • College Baths Road
  • Southgate Drive
  • Robert Burns Avenue
  • Pittville Circus Road
