CCTV images of incident in Longford
Gloucestershire police have long been advising residents that there are people out at night, and the early hours of the morning, trying car and house doors hoping to find some that have been left unlocked. The CCTV images shown on the link below from Gloucestershire Live just proves the point.

2017 has been a very busy year, the extension to the Village Hall commenced in May and progressed very quickly, during this time the Council office relocated to Hucclecote Community Centre, regular users also relocated to temporary premises in the area.
We were finally able to move back in to our newly extended hall in September and we are delighted with the extra space, we now have available for use, two meeting rooms, a large hall suitable for meetings, parties etc, a community hub with full WiFi facilities for residents use, a fully equipped kitchen complete with cooker, dishwasher and refrigerator.
The councils plan is to increase the number of bookings for both daytime and evening use to fully utilise the improved facilities.

From 4th December 2017, Tewkesbury Borough Council is pleased to announce that it will be teaming up with PayPoint and the Post Office in order to enable residents to pay their bills at any PayPoint or Post Office outlets.
As of April 2018, all council tax bills will also contain a barcode, and just like any other payments needing to be made to the council; residents will be able to pay through PayPoint or a Post Office. Individuals will no longer need to make a special trip to the council offices and it should make paying bills even easier.
The council would like to remind residents that paying their bill online, through the council website, is also a quick and easy option; and they don’t even have to leave the house! For more information about paying online, please follow the link to the ‘pay for it’ section of the council website at www.tewkesbury.gov.uk/do-it-online#pay-for-it
Further information can be found here.
Local County Councillor Robert Vines provides a quick update on some of the major transport issues Gloucestershire County Council has been progressing.
• The Shurdington Road between the Morrisons Roundabout and the Brockworth bypass was resurfaced in the late summer.
• The A417 Crickley Hill to Cowley Roundabout ‘Missing Link’ solution appears to have slipped backwards. After about 15 years of hard work there seemed to be a consensus that the Brown Route option was the favoured way forward, but with a new consultation exercise in process, all options are now back on the table.
• M5 junction 10 – the need for a four-way junction is still being assessed, the local MP’s have been briefed in the hope they can push this forward.
BT’s Community Fibre Partnership Team have advised us that Cabinet 42 is going to upgraded to fibre as part of their commercial deployment with an expected go live date of the end of June 2018.
If you are one of the 450 properties waiting for superfast broadband from another cabinet, that has already been fibre-enabled, you shouldn’t have to wait for more than one or two months. If it is taking longer than this it suggests that BT/Openreach has been dragging its heels. It ought to be fairly simple for BT to upgrade a fibre-enabled cabinet (it can add in extra hardware, or tack a smaller cabinet on alongside), and it shouldn’t, in theory, take BT long to do this.
Please therefore let us know how long you have been waiting. If you have been in limbo for more than two months please email us with your name, address, how long you have been waiting and who you have been in contact with. We will then collate these responses and submit a formal complaint to BT’s High Level Complaints Team.
