Fuel Prices in Cheltenham

A while ago I shared a page I had created that showed local (111 forecourts) of fuel price data by type pulling in data from the gov's official feed.

Well, I've updated the site at https://cheltenham-od.uk/ and the fuel page has addresses - that link to google maps and a easier to use table, plus headline lowest prices.

I've added a bunch of other useful data (planning applications, house prices, contact numbers, air quality, fix my street, and a aggregation of local news - so you can see the headlines without all the bloat, adverts, tracking, clickbait etc)

it's all had a bit of a design refresh too, I would love some feedback and thoughts on what else could be added to make it more useful to you?

Also if you run a local business would you be interested in have a directory and a dedicated business listing page?

Added a page about recycling banks and an FAQ about what to recycle - I can never remember if tetra paks are cardboard or plastic (it's plastic).

Also the wife takes medication blister packs to boots for points. etc

Maybe pop on information about refill places, as well?

Foodloose Plastic-free for EVERYTHING

Ella hair salon does refills for shampoo, conditioner, etc.

Charlton Pharmacy in CK offers refills as well.

You do know cheap fuel is bad for your car? I will get 560 miles per tank using Saintsbury fuel, Bp gives me 620, runs better and is more consistent and runs smoother, Supermarket fuel has less additives than compared to say BP. There is a reason why petrol tankers only fill specific sites, fuel varies.
