Seeding the Day on Saturday
Come on Down to the 4th Seed The Day Eco Market! Each year it grows from strength to strength and has become an important part of Bridgwater Town Council’s diary of events. BTC Portfolio Holder for Climate Emergency , Cllr Kathy Pearce (Bridgwater Westover) says “Back in 2019, Bridgwater Town Council declared a Climate Emergency and since then has been committed to demonstrating that cutting carbon emissions and living healthily in a way that is kinder to the planet is achievable. On Saturday 10th September, between 10am and 3pm there will be a wide range of vegan products including foods, aromatherapy and bath products to tempt us all. We are also pleased that a number of community stalls including Bridgwater Area Cycling Campaign, Men’s Shed, Somerset Wildlife Trust, RSPB, Woodland Trust and a seed and plant swap stall – among many others will also be there. Whether you are a vegan or not, we hope you will enjoy the day – maybe try something new or return to old favourites and stock up on products which aren’t readily available for the rest of the year!”

North Street Closure to end 12th September
Somerset County Council’s decision to ‘temporarily’ close North Street -part of the main A39 access from the west into Bridgwater, has proved very unpopular and councillors have been approached by numerous people with complaints. David Peake, County Highways supremo, said “The work that is being undertaken on site is highway drainage work, promoted by Sedgemoor Highways Office. Somerset County Council have made an Order prohibiting all traffic from proceeding along North Street – from the junction with Camden road, south eastwards for a total distance of 40 metres. This Order will enable Milestone Infrastructure to carry out structural maintenance – Drainage Works.”
When asked when it will end, we were told “The Order became effective on 23rd August 2022 and will remain in force for eighteen months. The works are expected to commence on 30th August 2022 and last until 12th September 2022 between the hours of 00:00 – 23:59 for a total of 14 days.”
Please visit https://one.network/?tm=128680675 for further information on the alternative route.
For information about the works being carried out please contact Somerset Highways on telephone number 0300 123 2224 quoting reference number ttro449863SE.
