Local access and transport advice
Somerton's historic centre is concentrated around Market Place and the church, with a designated conservation area covering the town centre and part of the eastern town. Bancombe Road Trading Estate lies to the north-west. For collections around Market Place, West Street and Cow Square, check the available parking and vehicle stopping arrangements before arranging a collection. Do not assume that a vehicle can wait directly outside a property.
Somerset Council enforces parking and loading restrictions, including yellow lines and designated loading restrictions. Always check the signs at the intended stopping location. To help avoid delays, provide information about narrow entrances, stairs, lifts, parking and the distance between the property and the vehicle.
