Parish Council Meeting
Wednesday 1 October at 7pm
Uley Village Hall
Gloucestershire County Council temporary closure of various roads in the Parish 1.9.25-31.3.26
In order to facilitate the installation of the new water main, GCC has issued a notice that parts of The Street, Fop Street and Lampern Hill will be closed for short periods, as and when necessary. Severn Trent, with the agreement of local farmers, has gone to great trouble to establish a route that causes the least possible disruption to the village while they carry out this essential work. The team installing the new pipeline is proceeding very quickly and will keep disruption to the minimum.

Welcome to Uley
Uley is a busy and attractive Gloucestershire village which, with the neighbouring settlement of Owlpen, is tucked into a sheltered valley lying behind the steep Cotswold escarpment that defines the eastern boundary of the Severn Vale. The river Ewelme flowing through the valley, fed by abundant springs, combined with the topography and geology of the area have shaped the history of the settlement.
For a population of only about 1,100 the village supports a commendable range of facilities including St Giles church, a C of E primary school, Uley Surgery, Uley Community Stores and Post Office, Prema Arts Centre, the Old Crown public house, a Village Hall, sports field and pavilion, and many thriving clubs and societies.
The parish is particularly well served by open spaces including the Uley Millennium Green and about 25 miles of rural footpaths and bridleways, including a short section of the Cotswold Way. Consequently, the area is popular with both local residents and visitors for recreational walking, cycling and horse riding.
