A38 Junction
Work on the A38 junction is underway. This page will be home to updates from Crest and their contractors O'Brien as the works continue. Updates will also be shared via Facebook and the Parish Council mailing list (sign-up at the bottom of the page). We have a separate page showing the plans for the junction and describing how it will work.
NB: Whilst the Parish Council has no control over works conducted by Crest and its contractors, we want to ensure residents get the right information. We have therefore agreed with Crest that we will share information provided by them, and will do so in a way that clearly shows it comes from Crest.
- 25 June: Responses to issues raised and updated Traffic Management Plan
- 10 June: Material from information event - phasing of works
- 4 June: Update
- 4 June: Traffic Management Plan
25 June - Responses to issues raised at event and updated TMP
Crest have provided:
- An updated Traffic Management Plan (TMP) containing extra detail from Gloucestershire County Council and Stagecoach.
- A report outlined some of the actions taken upon resident request raised at the 10 June information event and explaining why others can’t be taken.
We're advised that the best way to raise issues with the junction works is via GCC's FixMyStreet. Traffic officers have responded to issues raised in that way and are the people able to take action, rather than Crest Customer Services.

4 June 2025 - Progress update and information event (from Crest Nicholson)
Dear residents,
We are pleased to confirm that work on the primary Hunts Grove access (A38 junction) is running to schedule.
The initial phase within Hunts Grove - along the extension road onto Haresfield Lane and on the drainage pond - is progressing inline with the current site programme,
The team also now has Gloucestershire County Council approval of the Traffic Management Plan [see below] for works beyond the community's boundary. This will commence on Monday, 9 June, with a target finish date of Sunday, 30 November 2025.
We recognise that this announcement will inevitably cause some inconvenience and would like to thank you for your ongoing patience. Our contractor, O'Brien, has an extremely experienced team who are mindful of the need to minimise disruption to residents. Together, we will issue information about diversions and speed restrictions via the Parish Council, with ongoing updates as the project progresses.
Information Event: A38 roadworks
In addition we are holding a Residents' Information Evening about the works, with associated plans. Members of Crest's and O'Brien's teams will be in attendance and happy to answer your questions:
- Tuesday, 10 June 2025
- 4-7pm
- Holiday Inn Express, Waterwells Business Park, Gloucester, GL2 2AB - Malvern Room
Please do come along and find out more. We look forward to seeing you there!
