Local access and loading advice
- Central South Petherton: St James Street is the main village street. The parish council has previously raised concerns about its narrowness at one point and the need to manage delivery vehicles. Tell us if your pickup is on a tight stretch so we can plan where to park and load.
- Parking: Prigg Lane car park is free, long stay and has no height restrictions. It may help if on-street space is limited. Check current signage before relying on it.
- Older homes: the village centre includes older stone and thatched cottages, so measure doorways, stairs and bends before moving large furniture.
- Booking tip: send photos of the items and the access route, and tell us about steps and the distance from the van to the door.
