Gloucestershire County Council is engaging on potential route options as part of an improvement scheme at M5 Junction 9 and A46 through Ashchurch. The scheme would provide a new M5 Junction 9a south of Tewkesbury and re-route a section of the A46 between the M5 and Teddington Hands roundabout. The scheme aims to help solve long standing traffic issues and provide vital infrastructure to meet existing and future needs, including improving journey times and reliability for journeys between the M5 Junction 9 and Teddington Hands roundabout.
This is the first stage of public engagement on potential route options, and further refinement of these options is subject to Ministerial approval and the release of further funding. Should the scheme be progressed, a preferred option will only be identified following future public consultations.
We are pleased to announce that our public engagement is open from 7th October 2024 until 2nd December 2024. All our engagement documents are available to download from our engagement website accessible via https://haveyoursaygloucestershire.uk.engagementhq.com/junction-9
We would also be happy to provide your Parish Council with leaflets with information on the scheme to cascade in your local area, should this be useful.
