Work has been completed by Somerset Council to install two height barriers at Silk Mills Park and Ride Car Park in Taunton.

This is part of planned improvements to deter unauthorised encampments.

Councillor Richard Wilkins, Lead Member for Transport and Waste Services at Somerset Council, said:

“These barriers are a practical step to improve security; help prevent unauthorised encampments and ensure the site remains safe and free from disruption.”
