Blueprint to keep Cheltenham traffic moving during Gold Cup race week presented
COUNCIL bosses are working together to try and ensure traffic flows as smoothly as possible through Cheltenham during Gold Cup week.
Cheltenham Borough Council and Gloucestershire County Council have come up with a blueprint to keep people moving between March 12 and 15.
Trevor Gladding, community protection manager for the borough council, said: "We are working with the county council to ensure that traffic going to and from the festival is managed as well as possible, and that any travel disruption is kept to a minimum.
"We have made some significant changes to the traffic orders in respect of Albert Road, New Barn Lane and Hill Court Road this year, and we hope that this will help keep the traffic flowing."

Jim Daniels, county council parking manager, added: "During race week, Cheltenham sees an influx of visitors, which means there's a lot more traffic on the roads.
"We're working with the borough council to keep traffic moving through the town, getting visitors to the event with minimum disruption."

There will also be additional signage around the town centre to help direct people to taxis, buses and toilet facilities; and additional toilets will also be available.

"Trevor Gladding. This would be the same Trevor Gladding that was forced to retire early from gloucestershire police. http://tinyurl.com/bbb7g87"
As commented in here on Saturday, December 24 2011, 8:06PM :
So is this the same (early) retired former Police Inspector Trevor Gladding of whom was written "No such trouble for Gladding, who after losing his libel action slipped quietly into pensioned retirement. His actions were described as "reprehensible" by the appeal court, though not reprehensible enough to set aside the conviction or for the CPS to take action against him."
So what's that £500 per week (index linked of course) police pension plus his daytime job?”

“Roger, that web page does work. Try copying and pasting the web address without including the full stop at the end of the line.”

“Steve
I hadn't seen last weeks Echo that had the traffic orders in, so well done TiG for repeating this.
Roger
I've just been to the address twice, once at about 12:00 and just now, and it worked both times.
Check what you typed again.”

“This traffic order was in the Echo more than a week ago. Doesn't TiG read its own newspaper?”
