Bridgwater Celebration Mile one-way section to be removed after consultation

Overview

A controversial one-way system on Salmon Parade and East Quay as part of Bridgwater's Celebration Mile is to be altered to restore two-way traffic. The decision follows a public consultation where 72% of respondents, numbering over 6,000 people, supported the change, despite a council report finding no evidence that the scheme caused congestion.
