A public meeting will take place on January 24 in Wellington to discuss an exciting plan for a new off-road cycle and pedestrian link between Taunton and Wellington. The project, spearheaded by the Grand Western Greenway Association, aims to create a continuous and safe route following the historic path of the former Grand Western Canal. This initiative promises a safer alternative to the often busy and congested A38 road. Local MP Gideon Amos and Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, which manages Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton and Wellington Community Hospital, are already backing the proposal.
