Dursley at a glance
Set in Gloucestershire with Gloucester the nearest main town, this GL11 community has its rail link at Cam and Dursley station 2.8 miles from centre, which suits moves in and out as well as getting around locally. Dursley’s everyday catchment includes smaller places such as Uley 1.6 miles away and North Nibley 1.7 miles, plus Wotton-under-Edge at 2.8 miles, Kingswood at 3.7 miles, Charfield at 4.2 miles and Hillesley at 5.1 miles, so a van and driver here typically supports short hops between homes, flats and storage across these villages and the town. By road you are close to Cam at 2 miles, 6 minutes, then Nailsworth at 7.7 miles, 16 minutes and Stroud at 9 miles, 18 minutes; Stonehouse is 9.4 miles, 20 minutes and Tetbury 9.8 miles, 18 minutes for regular routes on house and flat moves to and from the towns nearby. For trips a bit further out, Thornbury is 12.9 miles, 24 minutes and Chalford 12.9 miles, 28 minutes, with Yate at 14.9 miles, 31 minutes and Chipping Sodbury at 18.9 miles, 29 minutes; Lydney is 35 miles, 53 minutes for occasional longer runs. Residents often book us for single items such as a sofa, a bed, a wardrobe or a washing machine when buying, selling or passing furniture on within town or over to Cam, Stroud or Wotton-under-Edge. Tip runs of old furniture, garden waste and clutter to the recycling centre are straightforward too, with Yate Sort It Recycling Centre 9.8 miles from centre. With a 2021 census population of 7935, Dursley is large enough to have frequent moves within its neighbourhoods yet compact enough that same-day collections and deliveries around its smaller places nearby are common, using Cam and Dursley station for meet-and-loads when needed.
Dursley sits in the GL11 postcode area, with the nearest railway access at Cam and Dursley station a short trip from the centre, and the small town of Cam itself barely a mile and a half away. Van & Driver is opening soon in Dursley, bringing together van with driver and man and van services for people who need a hand moving items, clearing a house, or getting a next-day delivery sorted without the hassle of arranging everything themselves. Once live, the service will cover the usual moving moves — house removals, furniture delivery, tip runs, storage moves, student removals and commercial courier work — all at a fixed price agreed before the move starts, so there's no guesswork involved. Journeys within Dursley itself, or out to neighbouring Cam, are covered by one price band, while trips further afield to Stonehouse or Nailsworth sit in a slightly higher band, reflecting the extra distance involved. Anyone needing to shift larger loads to a recycling centre should note that sites such as Yate Sort It, some way south towards Bristol, require a booking for van access, which is worth checking before setting off. For now, Dursley residents can look forward to a straightforward way to book a fixed-price van and driver locally, with full coverage on the way as Van & Driver extends into the area.
Dursley had 7,935 people at the 2021 Census. The council's nearest recycling centre is Yate Sort It Recycling Centre, 9.8 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
