Work continues to progress steadily across Orchard Grove as we move into the summer. Improvements are underway at the roundabout, where works are being carried out to prepare the area for adoption by the local council. This important step will ensure the road infrastructure meets the required standards for long-term maintenance and community use.

The transformation of the former industrial site continues to advance, with teams focusing on essential groundwork for the next phase of residential development. This includes the installation of drainage systems, construction of attenuation basins for sustainable water management, and the development of new estate roads that will serve future homes in this area.

An exciting milestone has been reached with the care home development, where construction work is now visibly progressing as the building begins to emerge from ground level. This represents an important step forward in delivering this valuable community facility for Orchard Grove and the wider Taunton area.

Over at Highfield Park, unfortunately it will take a little longer than anticipated for the benches to be installed. It had been expected that these would be installed in late May, however there are currently some supply issues at the point of manufacture, which we are working to resolve.
