Disruption warning for drivers as works resume

It is hoped the Celebration Mile project will bring more people into Bridgwater town centre

Motorists are being warned of possible disruption when a partial road closure comes into place.

A section of Church Street, in Bridgwater, is expected to remain closed until the end of July as work on the Celebration Mile project continues.

The closure will also affect the eastern area of Eastover to allow Somerset Council's contractors Taylor Woodrow to install new kerb lines and resurface pavements.

Councillor, Mike Rigby, said: "We will make sure that pedestrians and shoppers, businesses and residents, will continue to have access throughout. We will also be installing extra signs to make people aware that Church Street remains open for business."

One of 11 projects being delivered as part of the Bridgwater Town Deal, Celebration Mile is being funded through £23.2m worth of government investment.

The council said a diversion route would be provided for residents of London Court.

Traders and residents have been invited to a drop-in session on 12 June to learn more about the project.
