TWO STROUD ROADS are to shut due to resurfacing works tonight. 

As part of their resurfacing works, Gloucestershire County Council has applied for a closure at both Cheapside and Highfield Road. 

The works at Cheapside take place from 7pm tonight to 7am tomorrow.

Meanwhile at Highfield Road, works started this morning and are due to take place until Tuesday, November 12 (excluding weekends). 

Works are taking place between 9.30am and 3.30pm. 

Whitefields Close in Stonehouse was closed yesterday, Wednesday, for similar works. 

A Highways spokesperson from Gloucestershire County Council said: “We will be resurfacing the road as part of our promise to invest a further £100 million in the county’s roads.

“We appreciate road closures are inconvenient, but to keep you and the team working on the road safe it is necessary. 

"We have planned the work so we can be in and out as quickly as possible and have tried to do it at a time that will minimise any inconvenience.”
