Celebration Mile Review – Share Your Views Now

Friday 3rd July, 2026

Residents and businesses in Bridgwater are invited to have their say on the one-way traffic system in place in the Eastover area and options for potential changes.

A review of East Quay and Salmon Parade was commissioned in response to a Full Council motion in December, tabled by Councillor Leigh Redman, and a petition.

A report on the review, which combined live traffic data aimed at measuring the effect of the project on traffic in Bridgwater as well as five potential options, was discussed by Somerset Council’s Executive Committee on 3 June.

Recommendations made by Executive included a consultation with residents and businesses on the scheme and the options, which commences today and runs for six weeks closing on 11 August.

You can take part in this here.  The survey is comprehensive and aims to gather as much information as possible. It will take around 20-30 minutes to complete.
