A Cheltenham and Gloucester ‘Super City’ A part of the revolutionary Gloucestershire 2050 vision, the next decade could see the futuristic plans for the amalgamation of the county’s two main population centres take a step forward. It would “create a vibrant heart in the centre of the county, offering integrated, creative communities to live and work” according to the published Gloucestershire 2050 vision. The plan would basically see Staverton airport become a new town, creating a third centre between the existing two and put the new city within the top 10 UK cities by size.
All-ways junction, M5 Junction 10 For years, it was felt that access to the northbound carriageway and an exit from the south would lead to Cheltenham becoming a rat-run for vehicles looking to link the A40 to the M5.
In truth, it has probably only ever annoyed Cheltonians who have been shunted off to the already-busy Golden Valley junction a few miles to the south. Having an all-ways access junction will help provide necessary infrastructure for two hugely significant developments nearby, it is the catalyst for how the town will grow.
