Gloucestershire bodies ask residents to help reshape advice, care and housing information within 24 hours

Council papers show Cheltenham Borough Council published a deed of variation to its contract with North and West Gloucestershire Citizens Advice Limited, listed under Director of Governance, Housing and Communities and Monitoring Officer Claire Hughes [1][2].

Social landlord Curo Group has opened a survey asking tenants what information matters to them and how they would prefer to receive it, ahead of new Social Tenant Access to Information Requirements (STAIRS) that will give social-housing customers wider rights to information about their provider [4]. The organisation is offering entry into a prize draw for a £100 Love2Shop voucher to everyone who completes the survey [4].

At the same time, Gloucestershire residents are being encouraged to share their views on the future of adult social care as part of a national consultation [7][8][9].

In the private sector, a Gloucestershire vet has launched a pet healthcare plan that includes unlimited vet visits and no exclusions for long-term health conditions [3][6], and Gloucestershire insurance broker Switch Health told SoGlos that independent advice is important when choosing private medical insurance rather than relying only on price-comparison sites [5].
