Live breaking news updates for Gloucestershire on Friday, April 17, 2020

This is our live news blog for Gloucestershire on Friday, April 17, 2020.

We’ll bring you the latest news from our journalists on duty today.

With Gloucestershire Live offices closed, we are continuing to cover the news while working from home and obeying all Government requirements.

We will continue to cover Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Tewkesbury, the Forest of Dean and the Cotswolds areas – as well as keeping an eye across the borders in Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Wiltshire and Monmouthshire.

We’ll also keep an eye on the roads, including the M5, despite travel restrictions leaving many roads extremely quiet.
