⛑️Please be aware of M50 Closures!⛑️
Thank you, Cllr Leigh Challis - Reform UK Gloucestershire, for the update.

🚧 Gloucestershire County Council is advising residents and motorists of a National Highways overnight closure of the M50 westbound and the associated diversion route through Gloucester.

National Highways has announced that, due to unforeseen circumstances, previously scheduled work could not be completed and will now take place overnight on Sunday 21 June 2026 between 9pm and 6am. To carry out the work safely, the M50 westbound will be closed between M5 Junction 8 and M50 Junction 2, with a fully signed diversion route in place.

The diversion will pass through Gloucester, where works are currently taking place on Over Bridge.

Cllr. Mark Harris, cabinet member for Highways said:

“We wanted to make residents aware that we are conscious of the impact this closure may have, particularly for communities in the Forest of Dean and those travelling through Gloucester overnight.

“We know people are already experiencing disruption from a number of transport projects across the county and appreciate that any additional traffic can be frustrating. While this work is being undertaken by National Highways, we are aware that the diversion route passes through Gloucester and may result in higher than usual levels of overnight traffic.

“The fact that the closure is taking place overnight should help minimise the impact for most road users, and we are hopeful the work can be completed as planned. We would like to thank residents, businesses and motorists for their continued patience and understanding while these essential works are carried out.”

National Highways has advised that access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained where it is safe to do so and that every effort will be made to minimise disruption.

Motorists are encouraged to allow extra time for journeys during the closure period and to follow the signed diversion route. 🚧

g News from Gloucestershire County Council's Budget Meeting! 🚨
Reform UK is standing up for residents with a bold, costed alternative to the Liberal Democrats' unfocused and incoherent budget. We're delivering £5 million in savings, protecting essential services, and tackling real issues like flooding, SEND transport costs, and unfair charges on carers.
Here's what Reform is fighting for:
Public Health Funding Fix: Stopping the misuse of £2m ring-fenced funds—redirecting to priorities like childhood obesity and rehab, not highways.

Flood Action Now: £100k for countywide dredging using 2019 maps + £250k uplift for emergency gully clearing to prevent storms from flooding our roads.

SEND Transport Savings: £50k business case for a minibus pilot—paving the way for multi-million annual reductions while improving services for families.

Boost Local Producers: Redirecting £30k to the 'Made in Gloucestershire' program to support our food and drink businesses, not more bureaucracy.

Scrap Carers' Parking Charge: Eliminating the shocking £33k fee on care workers—funded by trimming unnecessary ecology staffing.
Reallocate Net Zero Spend: Shifting £800k-£1.6m from vague plans to highways maintenance, drainage upgrades, and resilient roads.
Financial Risk Reserve: Creating a reserve to tackle the DSG (SEND) deficit, funded from Net Zero—safeguarding frontline services.
No more raids on health funds, no more delays on flooding, no more punishing our carers. Reform UK is about practical action and real change for Gloucestershire!

🚨 LIB DEM BUDGET EXPOSED — REFORM UK PUTS FORWARD THE ONLY SERIOUS ALTERNATIVE 🚨
Gloucestershire deserves better than a budget built on misallocated funds, failed priorities, and punishing the very people who hold our county together.

While the Liberal Democrats push ahead with plans to raid ring‑fenced Public Health money for 20mph zones, underfund flooding defences, ignore soaring SEND transport costs, and even charge carers to park, Reform UK is taking a stand.

Road traffic incidents only make up a small proportion of total A&E attendances (typically low single-digit percentages)

Today we’ve put forward a fully costed, practical, common‑sense amendment package that delivers:
✅ £5 million in safeguarded funding
✅ A path to multi‑million SEND transport savings
✅ Real flood prevention — dredging, emergency gully clearance and drainage upgrades
✅ Support for local food & drink businesses
✅ Scrapping the Carers’ Parking Charge — because taxing compassion is shameful
✅ Stronger roads & infrastructure
✅ A new Financial Risk Reserve to finally tackle the SEND deficit responsibly

The Lib Dem budget is glossy on the surface, reckless underneath.
Ours is focused and delivers for residents.

Gloucestershire can’t afford more empty promises.
It needs action.
It needs competence.
It needs Reform.
