Two 'plan ahead' notices greet Somerset: M5 traffic and future care
Motorists are told to plan for abnormal-load delays while Somerset Council urges residents to plan for care needs, as M5 junction surveys begin.
M5 motorists are being warned to plan ahead for abnormal load movements travelling north at 25mph, with reports of delays of up to 90 minutes [10][11][6][7][8][9]. Separately, Somerset Council has invited residents to a free health and social care information event at Trull Village Memorial Hall, near Taunton, on Thursday 1 October from 1pm to 4pm, and said it is open to everyone [5]. The road notices come as initial surveys are undertaken for a £100m project to deliver a new M5 junction linking the motorway to the Gravity enterprise zone, described in reports as leading to a 'gigafactory' [1][2][3][4].
