Private renting is entering a new chapter. Rent rises are now limited to once a year, with unfair increases easier to challenge.
This week we hosted a Town & Parish Council Forum in Cirencester, welcoming councillors and clerks from across the south of the district to hear updates on a range of important local topics.
Discussions included the councilâs Local Plan, Local Government Reorganisation, 'Making the Cotswolds Dementia Friendly', and emergency planning. We also heard from guest speaker Lucy Eccles from @glosrcc , alongside volunteer flood warden Phil Challinor, who shared valuable insights on community resilience and preparedness.
Weâll be holding a similar session in the north of the district next week, giving councillors and clerks there the opportunity to hear updates and share feedback.
Working closely with town and parish councils is an important part of ensuring key information and support reaches residents across the district.

Itâs 'Noise Action Week'! đ
Did you know noise pollution is recognised as the second largest environmental threat to human health?
Itâs not just about annoyance, excess exposure to noise can have a significant impact on a personâs health, wellbeing and overall quality of life. It has known links to hearing loss, stress, sleep disturbance, heart disease, strokes and dementia, affecting millions of people nationwide.
Thank you to the hardworking Ubico team for their swift and professional response to a significant fly-tipping incident near Cirencester earlier this week. đ
Several loads of waste were illegally dumped onto the road overnight on Monday, forcing an immediate closure to keep the public safe.
Following reports early Tuesday morning, the Ubico team mobilised quickly and, within just a couple of hours, the site was fully cleared, the road safely reopened, and all highways equipment returned.
Their rapid, coordinated efforts ensured minimal disruption and are a great example of the dedication shown every day to keeping our district clean, safe, and welcoming for residents and visitors alike.
There's plenty of sunshine forecast for this week, perfect for getting out in the garden.
Whether youâre trimming hedges or pruning shrubs, sorting out the veg patch or replenishing pots and containers, we can lighten the load with our garden waste collection service - taking away your garden waste with convenient kerbside collections đ
There's still time to sign up for this year's service: link in bio.
