A FRESH look is being taken by town councillors at proposed new parking measures in The Square, Wiveliscombe.

It follows public opposition to changes billed as a ‘simple, low-cost approach’ to make it clearer where parking was allowed.

Somerset Cllr Dave Mansell discussed the concerns with highways officers and with councillors ahead of a special council meeting to revisit the issue.

Cllr Mansell said councillors supported ‘no loading’ restrictions on the corners, dropped kerbs, and a loading bay in the centre.

He said there was also a need for further consultation with businesses around The Square.

Cllr Mansell said: “As has long been apparent, finding solutions to suit all users of The Square is not easy.

“I hope a good way forward can be found that is widely accepted.”
