Public to get their say on future of Highbridge car park

Bank Street car park in HighbridgeHighbridge residents will be able to quiz the district council over controversial plans to sell off the town's Bank Street Car Park.

County councillor Rosemarie Parsons, who is Chairman of the Regeneration Partnership which is hosting the event, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "This car park is crucial to the future regeneration of Highbridge."

"With the town in danger of being swamped with new flats, I just don't see why the car park should be sold off."

"Highbridge people want answers to their questions on what future car parking provision will be and whether the impact on traders has been properly considered."

The public meeting will be held on Thursday 20th March from 6pm-8pm in Highbridge Community Hall.

Doug Bamsey from Sedgemoor District Council will be in attendance and will give a presentation about the proposed plans.

Hosted by the Regeneration Partnership, the event will be an opportunity for local residents and traders to voice their concerns and ask questions.
