Gloucestershire County Council faces potential legal action over the worsening condition of streets in Cheltenham town centre. The Civic Society has expressed frustration over the persistent presence of the so-called “tarmac cow pats” — patches of asphalt where traditional stone paving once stood — and is considering court proceedings to compel necessary repairs. Concerns were first raised in 2024 regarding the “unpleasant and unwelcoming” state of key areas such as the Strand and the Promenade.
