Gloucestershire towns navigate a busy week as Winchcombe housing nears completion and Stroud acts on KFC and disorder

A 100-home final phase, a KFC opening debate and a dispersal order place housing growth and town-centre management side by side in Gloucestershire.

According to the Cotswold Journal, Bromford’s 100-home Merret Place scheme in Winchcombe, off Delavale Road, has entered its final phase and is the developer’s largest scheme to date [1].

The Stroud News and Journal reported that the imminent arrival of KFC in Stroud has sparked a fresh debate over health, traffic and environmental concerns [2].

In a separate Stroud update, the Stroud News and Journal said a dispersal order has been put in place in Stroud town centre to tackle anti-social behaviour [3]. The order follows reports of youths “causing alarm and distress” in the area [3].
