THE LONGLEVENS AREA
|
| If you are considering visiting or moving to the area, the following description may be helpful: | The Longlevens area has a pleasant "community feel" and is well catered for in terms of local shops and facilities. On the Cheltenham road, opposite the Elmbridge road turning, there is a good-sized, modern Co-op
supermarket. Within a hundred yards are a Chemist, Vet, two Estate Agents, Tesco Express mini supermarket, Carpet shop, Greengrocer/Fruiterer/Florist, Hairdresser, Cantonese Take-away and a Fish and Chip shop. There is also a Petrol Station, a good Indian restaurant (which also does home deliveries)
and a TV repair shop.
A few hundred yards futher are located two GP Surgeries:Cheltenham Road Surgery at 16 Cheltenham Road, and Longlevens Surgery at 19b Church Road. The Longlevens Branch Library is also in Church Road. The King Edward VII pub, 50 yards from the Parish Church, serves a good range
of reasonably priced meals in a pleasant atmosphere. Branching off the lower Cheltenham Road, at Oxstalls Lane, is the University of Gloucestershire (Oxstalls Campus) site. The Oxstalls Lane area of Longlevens includes a Garage/Petrol Station, Newsagent, Hairdresser, Butcher, Fish and Chip shop and Laundromat. |
| A frequent bus service through Longlevens (the Cheltenham Road) operates to Gloucester town centre (approximately one and a half miles) and to Cheltenham (6 miles). During most of the day this runs at 10 minute intervals. | SCHOOLS |
