Overview
- A public survey is open from 10 November to 3 December to gather views on making coach restrictions permanent.
- Proposals under review include limiting coach access with specific drop-off and pick-up points, extending yellow lines, introducing pay-and-display with resident exemptions, adding loading and disabled bays, and installing raised kerbs with partial pedestrianisation.
- The package is backed by Bibury One, a partnership involving local community representatives, parish councillors, coach and tour operators, the county council and Gloucestershire Constabulary.
- The village of roughly 600 residents has recorded weekend peaks of about 20,000 visitors and up to 50 coaches, with congestion and unsafe manoeuvres cited by officials.
- Residents report confrontations with visitors and drivers and local reports warn a 16th-century bridge is under strain, while some coverage suggests measures could be implemented by early summer 2026 if approved.
