The Traffic Trap: Our town centre doesn't just suffer from anti-social behaviour—it is still feeling the pinch of planning disasters that nobody wants to own.
Passing the Buck: Try tracing back who is actually responsible for the one-way traffic system down Salmon Parade and East Quay, and you'll find a deafening silence; past administrations and current officials point fingers, but local traders are left holding the bag.
Moving Past the Blame Game: Debating how we got into this mess won't put a single penny back into struggling tills or clear the traffic bottlenecks choking our routes.
The Only Logical Way Forward: With the public consultation now closed, we need to stop agonizing over endless theoretical options and get behind the most straightforward, common-sense fix available—a complete return to two-way traffic at least down the two roads mentioned.
Holding Out for Common Sense: It’s time to cut through the red tape and demand action; you can review the official status and next steps via the Somerset Council Celebration Mile updates page. If you want to see more about the now closed consultation and see what the options are then it is here.
Local Councillor Leigh Redman has been tirelessly campaigning on this issue.
