Please be aware that substantial roadworks will be taking place from next week from the 17th August 2026, which may affect access to Newent Doctors Practice.
Electrical cabling is being installed from Watery Lane to Lewell Street Car Park.
What you need to know:
- Holts Road will be closed during the works.
- Watery Lane will have traffic control, with the road reduced to one lane.
- Excavation will take place directly in front of the surgery car park entrance. The car park will remain open, but only one vehicle at a time will be able to enter or leave.
- A pedestrian walkway with ramps will be provided, so patients will still be able to access the surgery safely.
- Disabled parking will remain available. Patients using these spaces may need to stop and request access to the disabled parking area.
- Please allow additional time for your journey and expect some delays around the surgery.
The works are currently expected to take up to four weeks, although the project manager is hopeful they will be completed sooner.
Once the work on Watery Lane is completed, the road will reopen and the traffic management will move to the High Street.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience while these essential works are carried out.
We expect the surgery to remain open as usual throughout the works.
