NEWS RELEASE
Gloucester test station to close for refurbishment
VOSA’s test station at Ashville Road, GL2 6ET in Gloucester will be closed for refurbishment from the 11th October 2007 until 10th January 2008. Customers who require tests in this period are advised to book with an alternative station (see contact details below).
The staff from Gloucester will continue to test at various stations throughout the region.
However, the manager and administrative staff will remain at Gloucester test station, and they will continue to offer VIC checks as this part of the site will remain operational.
Station manager Liz Warner said: “We would like to thank our customers for their patience through this time and we look forward to seeing them all again at Gloucester test station in January 2008.”
This action is not related to the flooding that caused the station to be temporarily closed in July.
