Have your say
The survey for Cirencester, Preston and Siddington has now closed. Thank you for your feedback. Please keep an eye on this webpage for further updates.
We are now inviting feedback on proposals for Safer Roads and Community 20s in the borough of Cheltenham, including the parishes of:
- Swindon Village
- Leckhampton with Warden Hill
- Prestbury
- Charlton Kings
- Up Hatherley
The proposals aim to improve road safety and public health by reducing vehicle speeds where people are most at risk.
These proposals are being brought forward with the Cheltenham Town Centre Road Safety Scheme, which focuses on reducing casualties and improving safety in and around the town centre through targeted improvements at eight junctions with higher-than-average casualties.
To comment on the proposals for speed reductions and road safety improvements, you can complete the online survey and mapping tool. Remember to have your say before midnight on Friday 19 June 2026.
If you or anyone you know is unable to visit the website to share their feedback, copies of the project information and hard-copy surveys can be found at:

Next steps
Following initial engagement, if feedback shows broad support for the Safer Roads and Community 20s initiative within an area, we will launch a formal Traffic Order (TO) and statutory consultation process. This consultation will follow statutory procedures set out in the Local Authorities' Traffic Orders (Procedures) (England and Wales) Regulations 1996 which can be found here Gloucestershire County Council’s formal TO process.
During this time, you can submit written representations (objection, support or comment) by email or letter to the addresses on this page of Gloucestershire County Council’s web site.
After the TO consultation window closes, all representations made are considered by the relevant decision-maker, who will decide one of the following outcomes:
- Proceed as proposed
- Proceed with modification
- Do not proceed.
We will communicate the decision and next steps via the project webpage.
We will continue to assess prioritised areas as the programme develops and intend to implement the initiative in all areas where it is needed for public health concerns and supported by the community.
Further updates will be shared via this website and our social media channels, informing you which locations are moving forward to delivery, indicative timescales and milestones, and what you can expect whilst works take place.
