GLOUCESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL
TEMPORARY CLOSURE AND RESTRICTION A430 KINGSHOLM ROAD/WORCESTER STREET AND 480536 WORCESTER PARADE (KINGSHOLM AND WOTTON WARD) (GLOUCESTER CITY)
Gloucestershire County Council has made an order under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (as amended) to temporarily close and/or restrict and suspend existing restrictions in respect of the lengths of roads (“the Roads”) as described in the Schedule below. Other roads in the Kingsholm area of Gloucester may be affected at the discretion of the police.
| Road Name and Number |
Extent (from) |
Extent (to) | Approximate Distance |
Closure/ Restriction |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A430 Kingsholm Road/ Worcester Street |
Its junction with Black Dog Way |
Its junction with Tewkesbury Road roundabout |
800 metres | Full Road Closure and No Stopping, No Parking or Waiting |
| 2 | 480536 Worcester Parade |
Its entire length | 150 metres | No Stopping, No Parking or Waiting to allow for 2-way traffic |
|
There will be no waiting, stopping, or loading permitted throughout the duration of the matches and events.
The reason for the above closures/restriction and suspension is to facilitate the safe movement and dispersal of crowds before, during and after matches and events at Kingsholm Rugby Ground.
In order to facilitate the above, it will be necessary to suspend “Council of the City of Gloucester (Worcester Parade) (Traffic Regulation) Order 2003” for the duration of the Worcester Street closure.
The Roads are expected to be closed and restricted on dates between 11th May 2026 and 10th November 2027 where the presence of approved signage will indicate whether the closure/restriction is in force. For normal matches and events Kingsholm Road will be closed for a maximum of 1 hour after the event to allow for the safe egress of fans. Further advanced warning of dates/times will be displayed on site prior to the closure/restriction taking effect. For further information, please contact Gloucestershire Highways on 08000 514 514 or visit www.gloucestershire.gov.uk.
Alternative Route - As signed on site and/or as directed by the police.
Pedestrian access to premises on or next to the road and emergency access will be maintained.
DATED: 7th May 2026.
