Stroud District Council

Dursley Market Place Paving Project

To complement the construction of the new Sainsbury's supermarket for Dursley, a partnership group, comprising Dursley Town Council, Stroud District Council, Gloucestershire County Council, Vale Vision and Dursley Town Trust, are working together on a project to improve the paving surface surrounding the Market Place.

The aim of the project is to:

  • Complement the historic features of the site.
  • Clearly direct traffic exiting from Parsonage Street through to Castle Street.
  • Stop illegal access through the No Entry where Parsonage Street meets Castle Street.
  • Be suitable for pedestrian movement i.e. does not create a slip or trip hazard.
  • Be suitable for vehicle purpose i.e. vehicle weight and manoeuvring.

Next steps

The stakeholder group have now received the first draft of the engineering drawings, with comments due to be returned to the consultants in June 2009. Once finalised and signed off by County Council, the tendering process for construction will commence.

An additional process has been commenced by County Council to revise the Traffic Regulation Order for the area so as to reflect the paving proposal. This process is subject to consultation and statutory timeframes as governed by County.
