New £2m footbridge will replace narrow crossing

Work on a new £2m footbridge to replace a crossing too narrow for cyclists, is to begin in July.

The current bridge, which links Taunton's Morrisons supermarket with Coal Orchard, is not wide enough for both cyclists and pedestrians to use.

Somerset Council's planning committee approved plans for a 4m (13ft) wide, more cycle-friendly bridge, last August.

The project will be paid for with a £14m grant from the government's Future High Streets fund and additional council funding.
