Somerset planning week runs parallel to Bridgwater parking price plan

Taken together, the local reports highlight both the planning applications and the parking decisions local councils are handling.

Weston Mercury carried North Somerset Council’s latest weekly lists of planning decisions and applications for Weston-super-Mare [3][4]. Somerset County Gazette published Somerset Council’s Taunton decisions [5], while Bridgwater Mercury listed Bridgwater applications submitted to Somerset Council and decisions made by it [6][7].

In the same publishing cycle, Bridgwater Mercury reported that Somerset Council plans to make parking more expensive in Bridgwater car parks and to scrap free Sunday parking; it said Bridgwater Town Council had criticised the plan [2].
