HORSLEY residents will have their final chance to speak with councillors and contractors about work due to start to fully repair a landslip-damaged road.

In 2013, a landslip engulfed a couple’s garden after a section of the B4058 tumbled towards the back of their property in Wormwood Hill.

Highways crews carried out emergency work at the time to stabilise the B4058 between Nailsworth and Horsley and the road was reopened three months later.

Three-and-a-half years later and the road is finally getting fully repaired, much to the relief of local residents.

Cllr Steve Robinson will be available, along with other representatives from Gloucestershire County Council and the design team from contractors Amey, to answer questions from residents.

Work will be starting on July 31 and is expected to last 15 weeks.

This drop in event will be an opportunity to show people the proposed solution, how it will work and how it will be built.

Experts are developing a ‘pinned retaining structure’, which will mean the road will return to two-way traffic flows.

To allow the work to be completed, there will be a full road closure and diversions in place.

Cllr Robinson the county councillor for Nailsworth said: “This is an important opportunity for residents to learn about what will be happening in their local community and how the work will prevent it happening again.

“I really hope Horsley residents will take the time to attend this event and ask for the answers they want to know.”

Cllr Vernon Smith, cabinet member for highways at Gloucestershire County Council, said: “The county council is investing over £500,000 into repairing the Horsley slip.

“It would be great if as many interested local residents came along and told us what they think about the scheme.”

Horsley Village Hall will the venue for the drop-in event on Monday, June 26 from 5pm until 7pm.
