Stroud sits in Stroud District Council's patch, the A46 runs north–south through Stroud, with the A419 linking east to Cirencester and M5 J13. We regularly travel to Stonehouse (3 mi W) and Dursley (8 mi SW) for similar jobs. That means we usually fit your door & window painting job around existing local work and pass the saving on.
