Alderton Newsletter - October 2025

1. ALDERTON PARISH COUNCIL NEWS

FLOOD PREVENTION 
Work has started on the flood prevention measures on the hill, set out in the last newsletter. This will involve limited road closure on Beckford Road, probably on 27th/28th October, and temporary footpath diversions north of Beckford Road. The Gloucestershire Flood Prevention Officer has confirmed that this work will reduce the volume of surface water entering the village’s drainage system during periods of heavy and/or sustained rainfall. It is not a silver bullet, but it will reduce the severity and likelihood of impacts.

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH
A village resident reported that he was investigating the possibility of reintroducing Neighbourhood Watch into the village.
