SOMERSET NEWS: Road closures for Rod Stewart concert

CHARITY concert-goers are being urged to plan their journeys carefully on Wednesday (June 18, 2014) when music legend Rod Stewart performs at Somerset County Cricket Club in Taunton.

With thousands of music fans set to attend, there is likely to be a significant increase in the number of vehicles on the roads in Taunton and several will be closed to allow the event to take place safely. This has been agreed by the event organisers, the police and Somerset County Council.

To encourage concert-goers to leave their cars behind, arrangements have been made to run extra park-and-ride bus services from both Taunton Gateway and Silk Mills sites.

Road closures will affect Priory Bridge Road, Priory Avenue and other streets near the cricket ground from midday to midnight, while Bridge Street and North Street will be closed between 9pm to midnight.

It was back in November last year that it was announced that Rod Stewart would be performing a charity concert at the County Ground in aid of St Margaret's Somerset Hospice.
