Frequently Asked Questions

What Does This History Include?

• Every street works on local roads within 6 miles of Cheltenham town centre that has appeared on our street works page since 11 October 2026, whether planned or an emergency repair.

Why Does the History Start in October 2026?

• It starts when this site began logging street works. It isn't a full archive of works before then.

Why Do Some Works Appear Twice?

• Rows that look the same are usually separate permits for different parts of the same road. A long job is often split into sections, each with its own permit, and long roads such as Gloucester Road can have unrelated works at each end. Hover over a street name to see its permit number.

What Do the Traffic Management Types Mean?

• No carriageway incursion: the works stay off the road itself, for example on the pavement or verge.
• Some carriageway incursion: the works take up part of the road, but traffic can still get past.
• Give and take: there are no lights or stop/go boards. Drivers from each direction take turns to pass the works, giving way to each other. It's only allowed on short works on roads with a speed limit of 30 mph or less and light traffic.
• Two-way and multi-way signals: temporary traffic lights, controlling one lane past the works or several approaches at a junction.
• Stop/go boards: staff on site hold up boards to let each direction through in turn.
• Lane closure and road closure: a lane, or the whole road, is closed while the works take place.

What About the M5, A40 and A417?

• Motorways and major A roads are run by National Highways, not the county council. Their planned roadworks are on the roadworks page, with a log of unplanned closures.
