Proposals to expand Yeo Valley's Highbridge premises to go on show

Major proposals to expand a Highbridge business premises will go on show to nearby residents next week.

Yeo Valley is inviting residents and local businesses to attend an open event on Wednesday 24th October, between 3pm and 7pm, at Isleport Business Park, Lawrence Close in Highbridge when the expansion plans will go on show.

"The purpose of this event is to give people the opportunity hear about a proposed expansion of Yeo Valley’s distribution centre on the Isleport Business Park," a spokesman told Burnham-On-Sea.com.

"Demand for Yeo Valley’s products has dramatically increased over recent years, which has not only put pressure on their production sites in the South West but also on their distribution centre at Isleport Business Park."

"Their proposed plan is for an expansion at this distribution centre, enabling them to improve both the storage and transport of their products across the UK."

"Yeo Valley does not envisage any impact on local residents, businesses or the wider environment."

However, it says residents who are concerned about the plans or would like to find out more about the expansion can attend the open event. The company's project planning team will be available to answer questions and log any comments which will then be fed into the planning process.

This is a drop-in open event so businesses and residents are welcome to come anytime between 3pm - 7pm. Contact Michelle Tuxford by email or call 01278 772816 if you wish to attend.
