Come and join us on a Wotton Womble tidy-up morning on SUNDAY 17th AUGUST between 10am and 12noon.

Meet at 10am in the Chipping Car Park, Wotton-under-Edge.

Hi-vis, black bags, litter pickers will be provided, please bring gloves, sun cream, and refreshments. We can go to the pub after for well deserved drink if you are available.

Many hands make light work! This should be great community fun and will help in preparing the town for the fabulous Long Street Summer Social event.

If you can let us know if you are coming beforehand for numbers that would be helpful but you can still just turn up on the day.

Please email: [email protected] with any queries.

We look forward to seeing you there!

And, of course, thanks to the amazing Wotton Pride, our town will come alive on 14th June with a parade, performances, live music, stalls and more. We can't wait! We have some wonderful things happening at the bistro to celebrate:
2PM - Lex LeRoux and Sleezyjet Samantha are hosting Drag Bingo for our Bottomless Brunch. This is our first post about brunch and it's nearly half full already, so book your space soon.
7PM - Supper Club. Four courses of our signature June dishes. Again, this is already filling up so get your table booked stat!
10PM - Piano Bar! Your hosts Matt and Will, with the help of incredibly talented pianist Rowan, will provide you showtunes and more to sing along to. Piano, drinks, laughs and good times - serving until midnight or maybe even a bit later! No reservations for this one so get in soon after dinner to secure your table.

People cannot park outside the Co-Op with impunity any longer, causing great inconvenience to blue badge holders!

If you park there 'just for 5 minutes' you now risk a ticket. About time too.

I first reported the fallen sign in September 2020. This prevented Traffic Warden from issuing tickets.

Gloucester County Council have finally got around to replacing the statutory sign. Dozens of e-mails and chains that span pages and pages. It really does beggar belief.

Four and a half years!!

GCC strikes me as a completely dysfunctional organisation. So many headlines of racist and misogynistic behaviour. It is 75% male, many of pensionable age and little diversity. It is not politically correct to say that it's 'pale, male and stale' so I won't generalise, because I know some brilliantly effective and hard working councillors there (mostly female, btw). But I think the make up of the council is not representative of the community it purports to serve.

This tired Conservative administration has run its course, time is long overdue for change.

Please use your vote wisely on May 1st. ;)
