Cromhall Lane closure from 27th March
We have been informed by South Glos. Council that a section of Cromhall Lane, between the M5 bridge and the junction with Brinksmarsh Lane, will be closed for up to 5 days from 27th March. This is to allow works on the bridge. The closure should only be in place during working hours (9am until 5pm) each day.
Traffic will be diverted via Cuttsheath Road / Rectory Lane.
Vacant seat on the parish council
Cllr. Lorraine Palmer has resigned her seat on the parish council. Although Lorraine was only on the council for a short period, she has played a vital role in many aspects of the council’s operation including serving as Vice-Chairman, covering much of the day-to-day running of the council whilst there was no clerk in post, and contributing to the opposition to inappropriate development in the village.
This resignation means that there is now a vacant seat. As no election has been called for, the council is now able to co-opt a new member to the vacancy.
If you are interested, you can find out more about co-option in our Co-option policy and download application forms. Please contact the Clerk or speak to any of the current parish councillors if you have any questions.
Revised plans for Redcliffe Homes development

Comments on this revised planning application can be submitted via the SGC Planning website.
Budget and council tax share published
Cromhall Parish Council have approved their budget for the year from 1st April 2024. The council is mainly funded by the ‘precept’, which is collected on our behalf by South Glos. Council as part of your council tax.
The total precept for Cromhall PC for the coming year is £23,497. This equates to a charge of £74.83 for an average size (Band D) property – a slight decrease on last year’s amount.
You can see the budget in detail on the Finance/Council Funding page.
