I presented today a petition @GlosCC from residents who live along the A436 between Bourton and Andoversford. They’re calling for a lower speed limit and road safety measures following accidents along that road this year. #roadsafety #Cotswolds

The Cirencester History Festival has been hugely successful again this year and is going from strength to strength. Today I was fascinated to hear about the rivalry of Richard II and Henry IV in a compelling event with Helen Castor at the impressive Bingham Hall in Cirencester. #CreativeCotswolds

Digital labs in some of Gloucestershire’s libraries - like this one in Chipping Campden - are an incredible community asset. 3D printing, LEGO design and more. Go and see for yourself what you can do!

The wonderful Scrubditch Care Farm had their summer open day. Always a joy to see the animals and birds in large spaces and the home grown veg and flowers. The farm is pure therapy for those who visit it.
