Public invited to view proposals for new development at Coombe Hill

The event will take place on 4 March 2026 from 3:30pm to 7:00pm at The Swan Inn, Tewkesbury Road, Coombe Hill GL19 4BA.

Visitors will have the chance to speak with the project team and representatives from Highways, Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service and Adult Social Care. They can view the latest site plans and discuss any questions they may have about the development.

Councillor Colin Hay, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Finance, Assets & Transformation, said: “We know many people are keen to understand what’s planned for the Coombe Hill site. This event is a great chance to get clear, up-to-date information directly from the project team. I’d encourage residents and local businesses to come along, ask questions, and find out more about how the proposals will support essential services in the county.”

The proposals would see 27 acres of Gloucestershire County Council land transformed into a modern, multi use site designed to deliver essential services and support future growth. Current proposals include:

• A new training facility for Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service
• A state-of-the-art highways depot
• A much-needed 80-bed care home
• The sale of a small parcel of land for the development of around 25 new homes
