Cheltenham’s calendar shapes a good share of its sweeping work. The racecourse at Prestbury Park draws very large crowds, most of all for the Festival each March, and the temporary car parks, coach areas and approach roads need attention before and after. The town also hosts a run of cultural festivals that put extra pressure on streets and parks through the year.
Construction demand is concentrated on the western side, between the built-up area and the M5, where land near junction 10 and around the government communications campus is allocated for large housing and employment schemes. The A40 and the A4019 Tewkesbury Road are the main links to the motorway, and trading estates along those corridors are regular users of sweepers.
Coverage in and around Cheltenham
Bookings for Cheltenham generally include Prestbury, Charlton Kings, Leckhampton, Up Hatherley, Swindon Village and Bishop’s Cleeve, plus Shurdington and Staverton towards Gloucester. Villages up on the Cotswold escarpment, such as Andoversford and Winchcombe, can be considered too, though steeper, slower roads mean a little more planning and notice.
