FONS George in Taunton will be closed for one day due to drain jetting works.

The closure, which will be from the junction with Wilton Street for 207 metres, will take place on Tuesday, October 1, from 8am to 5pm.

It was revealed in a public notice posted on the Public Notice Portal on September 12.

Somerset Council is implementing the closure under Section 14 (1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, allowing Kier to carry out the works on behalf of Somerset Highways.

The closure is necessary to ensure public safety and prevent potential road damage.

This temporary closure is part of ongoing efforts to maintain and improve road conditions in the area.

The council apologises for any inconvenience caused and appreciates the public's understanding and cooperation.

The works are expected to be completed within the day, and the road will be reopened as soon as it is safe to do so.
