Street works and road closures on Cheltenham's local roads, including emergency repairs.

Cheltenham Open Data has published a new street works page, covering the works on the town’s own streets.
Until now, the site’s roadworks page covered the M5, A417, A40 and A46, which are run by National Highways. The new page covers the local roads looked after by Gloucestershire County Council, where water, gas, electricity and broadband companies dig up the road and the council carries out repairs. It lists every works within 6 miles of the town centre on a map and in a table, with the traffic lights or road closures each one needs and when it starts and finishes.
