flag Bridgwater residents and a councillor protest the new one-way system, calling it unsafe and damaging to business.

flag A Bridgwater councillor has denounced the town’s new one-way traffic system, labeled the “Misery Mile,” calling it a flawed decision that has sparked widespread frustration among residents and businesses. flag The rerouting, which diverts traffic from Salmon Parade to East Quay via Broadway and Monmouth Street to the Cross Rifles roundabout, has caused confusion, delays, and unsafe conditions, particularly for cyclists. flag The councillor criticized officials for ignoring public backlash and warned the system could deter visitors and harm local commerce, potentially turning Bridgwater into a “ghost town.” A growing petition demanding a return to two-way traffic on key roads will be presented to Somerset Council, urging a reevaluation of the change.
