Tewkesbury Borough Council has voted to change its name to North Gloucestershire Borough Council following consultation with residents.

Yesterday, during an Extraordinary Council meeting, councillors voted 26 for the name change and eight against.

The change, which is set to be implemented from December 2024, was made to prevent confusion between Tewkesbury Town and the wider borough.

Cllr Richard Stanley, leader of Tewkesbury Borough Council, said: ‘This name change is about ensuring that all communities within our borough feel represented and included, something that many felt was not the case with the name ‘Tewkesbury Borough Council’.’
