Inconvenient Road Closures
Uley Road (Uley to Dursley) will be closed between Sheephouse Farm and Angeston Grange (not Angeston Court as published earlier by Severn Trent Water Authority) from 21 July for several weeks. This is for Severn-Trent to lay a new water supply pipe.
NEW MAINS WATER PIPELINE
Uley's mains water supply and the village’s reservoir require repair and renewal. The new pipeline is being laid between the reservoir above Dursley to the reservoir above Whitecourt in Uley. The route of the current water main is along the Uley road to the Fop Street crossroads and thence up Fop Street. Renewal along this route would have caused great problems to many people. Severn Trent, with their contractors and owners of affected fields, have taken trouble to arrange a new route which causes the least disruption to the least number of Uley residents. The new route runs from Dursley across the fields to the entrance to Sheephouse Farm, then out onto and along the B4066 Uley road through Rockstowes to the entrance of Angeston Grange; it will then leave the Uley Road, go up through Angeston Grange garden and across to Fop Street under which it will pass to Bury Bower and proceed across the fields to the reservoir.
In order to carry out the works as quickly and efficiently as possible, the construction equipment and lorries delivering the pipework are large and require the whole width of the carriageway to operate. Added to this, space is required to avoid damaging existing services under the highway. It is planned that the works along the Uley road will be completed by the end of the school holidays.

Welcome to Uley
Uley is a busy and attractive Gloucestershire village which, with the neighbouring settlement of Owlpen, is tucked into a sheltered valley lying behind the steep Cotswold escarpment that defines the eastern boundary of the Severn Vale. The river Ewelme flowing through the valley, fed by abundant springs, combined with the topography and geology of the area have shaped the history of the settlement.
For a population of only about 1,100 the village supports a commendable range of facilities including St Giles church, a C of E primary school, Uley Surgery, Uley Community Stores and Post Office, Prema Arts Centre, the Old Crown public house, a Village Hall, sports field and pavilion, and many thriving clubs and societies.
The parish is particularly well served by open spaces including the Uley Millennium Green and about 25 miles of rural footpaths and bridleways, including a short section of the Cotswold Way. Consequently, the area is popular with both local residents and visitors for recreational walking, cycling and horse riding.
