Park and Ride scheme presentation 13th and 25th September
Article received from Mr D Garrett of Creech St Michael
September 6th 2007
The plans for the proposed Park & Ride scheme are to be shown at Ruishton Village Hall Thursday 13th September 10am to 9pm.
Somerset County Council saff will be in attendance to answer questions and explain the proposals. There will also be a display at the Old Market Centre, Taunton, on Tuesday 25th September 10am to 5pm
The Park & Ride facility is proposed to provide facilities for commuters and shoppers travelling on the A358 from the Ilminster direction, and the M5 towards Taunton.
Construction of the Park & Ride scheme is believed to be starting in December 2008, with the facility planned to open by Autumn 2009.
However, Somerset County Council state that feedback from the public will be taken into account before a planning application is made in early Autumn. They are also delivering letters to local residents inviting them to attend the displays.
Whether you are for or against the scheme, it’s worth attending the display of the plans, which will no doubt affect both Creech St Michael and Ruishton by the proposed location of the site.
