Cirencester's week: new route, 20mph update, family attraction and concert lineup

Separate reports and announcements from 18 to 20 September put Cirencester in the same-week news cycle with transport, road-safety, nostalgia, crime and leisure items.

The new route between Gloucester and Cirencester has opened, and drivers have been sharing their thoughts on it [1][6].

In the same period, Gloucestershire County Council published updated proposals to introduce new 20mph speed limits and other road safety measures in Cirencester, Siddington and Preston, following public engagement earlier this year [2].

The Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard reported a new family attraction combining radio-controlled diggers, dinosaur excavation and a café is coming to Cirencester [5].

The Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard also published a nostalgia column recalling Cirencester's summer Carnival Queen tradition [4].
