Middle Hill Road

Published: 16 October 2025

Middle Hill is an unusual case, as our patching programme generally proceeds without issue, indeed most of the carriageway improvement works carried out on Middle Hill along with other local patching sites, have been carried out competently by our workforce. However, following a site visit and audit earlier last week, it appears that some defective tarmac may have been used in a couple of isolated small patches, resulting in substandard repairs.

The contractor was immediately notified and has also visited the site. They are now actively addressing the issue, and new carriageway patches will be completed shortly. This work will be carried out at no additional cost to the public or Gloucestershire Highways.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused, and thank you for your patience and understanding while we resolve this matter.
